Chapter 519: Rumor Had It That Sheng An’s Boss Was Old and Ugly

They looked at each other. Li Xueqing removed her sungla.s.ses and said, “Oh, what a coincidence, I didn’t think you’d be here.”

Several people turned to look when Li Xueqing made this remark.

The supporting character in “Stinging Vine” was a female member of the Special Task Force, so Li Beinian was dressed in military-style fas.h.i.+on today.

A smart light army green short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt, and a similarly colored trench coat outer.

Matched with straight black trousers with clean lines, it made her look tall and lanky.

Her long hair was tied back in a simple ponytail that revealed her pale neckline. Altogether, she cut an appealing, delicately exquisite, and well-proportioned figure.

With a dusting of light makeup, she looked full of heroic spirit, quick and efficient.

With that remark from Li Xueqing, many people turned their attention towards Li Beinian.

Looking at her get-up, it didn’t take a genius to guess what she was after.

Li Xueqing put her sungla.s.ses away and looked at Li Beinian with narrowed eyes. She said, “It’s been a long time. I thought you’d be too heartbroken to make an appearance. Who’d have expected you to have such tenacious power of recovery.”

Following this, she put on an expression that was full of pity and continued, “What a waste. Having lost the protective shade of such a huge tree like Mu Donglin, will your path in the future be fraught with difficulties?”

The woman made this remark for all to hear.

The people who had turned up for the audition were, naturally, mostly capable actors with some repute.

However, there were, of course, others who had been around for a long time but yet never made a name for themselves.

Towards quick rising stars like Li Xueqing and Li Beinian, there was a certain amount of hatred and envy apart from some admiration.

Background and reputation aside, everyone knew that Li Xueqing was the pampered daughter of the boss of Dawn Entertainment, so it all went without saying.

Li Beinian, alas, had made a bad name for herself somewhat.

Time and again, word had gotten around that she was a kept woman. There were scandals of her securing her position through s.e.xual favors. On top of that, the Misty Street background and broken engagement with Mu Donglin… all these made one gravitate toward the scandals.

One couldn’t blame the people for imagining things to be so.

True enough, at Li Xueqing’s remarks, almost everyone cast their eyes of judgment on Li Beinian.

“Aren’t you being too worried, too early?” A voice spoke following Li Xueqing’s remark. “Our friend here has been shooting an awful lot of commercials lately—perfumes, shampoos, and everything. ‘Dream Slayer’ is also being aggressively promoted. It doesn’t look like the rumors have made an impact.”

The voice belonged to an insignificant female actor by the name of Jiang Qian.

She was pretty and had decent acting skills. Only, she had not managed to make a name for herself all this while.

Following Jiang Qian’s comment, someone else said, “That’s not exactly true. The commercial deal for ‘Meet in Rio’ was originally hers. But didn’t it fall through because she broke her engagement to Eldest Young Master Mu?

“Not only Meet in Rio. Didn’t Yuanchi Automobile come knocking at the door for her to be their spokesperson too? And then a few more.”

“What do all these amounts to? Recently, she’s shot an ad for Chantal, which is more awesome than all these others.”

“Chantal? I’ve heard that rank-wise, she’s actually next in line after the spokespersons of the various zones in Xia Nation. It was supposed to have been Li Xueqing, but eventually, Li Beinian won it…”

“It’s not only Chantal. Initially, the spokesperson for ‘Dream Slayer’ was Li Xueqing. Diamond Queen, Rafi shampoo—all these were Li Xueqing’s ad deals, and they all eventually went to Li Beinian.”

…

Li Beinian was speechless.

Had she actually stolen so many advertising deals from Li Xueqing?

How was it that she wasn’t even aware, having lived two lifetimes?
