Chapter 22
Hopefully, they will feel happy when they drink this water later.
The director had just quietly placed his water glass on the table when the assistant director rushed back, his expression still incredibly obsequious. "Director Zhang, Lin Xi is just too nervous. Don't worry, I've already talked to him about it, and he knows he was wrong. Have some water and calm down, we'll do it again later?"
The director shook the bottle in his hand, saying with some surprise, "This water is pretty good, Xiao Tian. Where did you buy it? I'll buy a case after work to treat everyone."
"Yes, yes, I think this water tastes good too."
"Hmm, it even has a hint of sweetness. I'd like to buy some for my child to drink."
Song Shiwei was standing at the back and didn't see that they had quietly poured the water into the trash can at her feet.
She was speechless for a moment, [You guys actually drank it all? You drank it all???]
[Of course it tastes good! How could it not taste good with added ingredients?]
[Hey sis, are you crazy? Your kid can't drink this!]
[Oh no, you're all doomed. The assistant director will probably tell you to go rest and give you all identical room keys.]
"No, it's just ordinary water, nothing special." As if trying to prove his point, the assistant director unscrewed his thermos and gulped down two mouthfuls of water.
"It's just ordinary water, nothing different at all."
The director chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "Maybe it's because we felt so sweet inside that it tasted especially sweet."
"People are in high spirits when they have good news. Director, let's take a break first. We can continue the interviews tomorrow. Everyone must be tired today." The assistant director said with a smile, and pulled out a stack of room cards from his pocket, handing them to the director and the others one by one.
[It's here! It's that legendary room key that's exactly the same!]
[Coming to be tired at only nine o'clock? Isn't the intention obvious?]
[These big, dumb geezers are probably being sold out, but they're still happily counting the money for the seller.]
Jiang Ye and Jiang Zhuxin nodded in agreement. Seeing their smiling faces as they prepared to get up, it was indeed true...
Unbeknownst to them, just as the director and assistant director passed each other, the director suddenly hugged the assistant director, saying, "Brother, I'm really a bit tired. I'll leave the rest to you."
He subtly switched his room key with the assistant director's, then casually led the main cast and crew away.
Wow! The most exciting part is about to begin! Who should I follow along with?
[Following the director gets you firsthand juicy gossip, while following Lin Xi and the assistant director provides a glimpse into celebrity scandals from a bystander's perspective.]
[Waaaaah, what should I do? I want to eat both kinds of melons!]
As Song Shiwei was internally grumbling, Lin Xi and the assistant director exchanged a glance, as if to say that things had gone well.
Lin Xi's already awkward walking posture became even stranger now, with her buttocks practically sticking up to the sky.
Song Shiwei turned her head away, looking utterly disgusted. [My eyes! Did the assistant director turn up the frequency of his electric motor?]
[Wait, why does this assistant director look so strange? It's like he's been given some kind of aphrodisiac?]
[Wait, could it be that the assistant director tested the poison on himself to make the scene more realistic?]
Song Shiwei ate the melon while wondering.
The assistant director's gaze towards Lin Xi changed at this moment. His already dark face became even more lustful, and he practically clung to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi didn't stand on ceremony, even moving closer to him, "Assistant Director, please don't do this. I want some water, I'll go get some first."
"I have some here, drink mine." The assistant director took his own cup with one hand, while his other hand wandered to Lin Xi's waist. "Lin Xi, today we..."
Lin Xi immediately panicked, gave the assistant director a warning look, quickly took the water from him and took a sip. "Thank you, assistant director. I'm not feeling well today. May I go and rest for a bit?"
The assistant director narrowed his eyes slightly. "Of course, here's the room key. Go ahead, you'll have good news tomorrow."
Lin Xi laughed smugly, her eyes sparkling with ambiguity as she took the room key from the assistant director's hand.
He paused as he passed Jiang Ye.
"Jiang Ye, I told you this role is perfect for me. You'd better watch how I beat you."
Jiang Ye's gaze darkened. "No need to look. I wouldn't stoop to your dirty tricks. Besides, let me tell you, everyone gets their shoes wet eventually. You'll be in trouble sooner or later."
Listening to Jiang Ye's words, Song Shiwei wondered, "Does Jiang Ye know something?"
[Jiang Ye, you can't go eating melons without me! Eating alone will only make you stuff yourself.]
Jiang Ye:...
Would he dare say it? And if he did, what if Song Shiwei stopped including him in her gossip sessions?
Lin Xi and the assistant director left one after the other. It was a perfectly good audition, but all the main cast members left. It's quite absurd.
Song Shiwei thought to herself, [Everyone's gone? Who are we going to harvest the melons with?]
[I remember which floor their room was on?]
Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Song Shiwei. They were also eager to know which floor the director and the others had gone to; they wanted to see what happened!
[15th floor?]
At this moment, the actors participating in the audition had their ears perked up. Upon hearing "15th floor," the entire group rushed to the 15th floor without stopping.
They want to be on the front lines of the gossip!
Chapter 22
◎Oh my god, a mother and daughter teamed up to catch their boyfriend cheating, and they ended up catching the same guy!◎
Jiang Ye and Jiang Zhuxin almost ran after her, but seeing that Song Shiwei didn't move, they didn't move either.
