Thought About Becoming An Actress

COME HOME RIGHT NOW

Gong Xu had still not fully comprehended what was happening when a female crew member ushered him inside a different room. He went and pulled Ling Fen with him but Qiao Zilan who had sharp eyes suddenly shouted, "STOP"

His voice boomed and his footsteps briskly made way towards where Ling Fen, Gong Xu, and the female assistant were standing. His eyes surveyed Ling Fen from head to toe and subtle satisfaction rose in his heart.

"Miss, what is your name?" He asked. Ling Fen did not know that the question was directed toward her but her heart was happily squealing when she saw her favorite director up close. She was so lost in thought that Gong Xu nudged her before her senses returned.

Ling Fen turned to the director and said, "My name is Ling Fen."

Her tone was clear and Qiao Zilan nodded in satisfaction then said something that Ling Fen thought she would never hear someone say to her,

Qiao Zilan, "Have you ever thought of becoming an actress?"

Ling Fen almost took a step back while Gong Xu looked away in silence, pretending to be lost in thought. He knew and Ling Fen also knew just how bad of an actress she was. Ling Fen shuddered at the thought of her high school theatre teacher who once chased her away from the stage due to her terrible acting.

She thought of one thing but said another, "Although with my looks I can easily start on that career path, I have a different hobby that I quite like."

Her tone was pure. Gong Xu placed his hands on his face. Just like Xiao Lu had never seen someone who could brag the way Chen Li did, Gong Xu had also never seen someone who could brag about themselves the way Ling Fen did.

Qiao Zilan heard her response and then chuckled. He fished out a contact card from his trouser pockets and handed it to Ling Fen, "Well, when you have thought about it please give me a call." After he had left those words behind, he turned around and left.

Ling Fen held the paper so tenderly as if she was afraid that if she held it anyhow, it would vanish from her hands. Gong Xu looked at her once again then held his face again.

The female crew member led them inside the room where their information was collected.

All this time Ling Fen had a bit of worry in her mind. The auditions for the role Gong Xu had just clinched had attracted famous stars. She was worried that they would create trouble for Gong Xu when the news got out.

Gong Xu had been cast on the spot, if this piece of news spread out then….

Ling Fen did not want to think about it anymore. The industry was a dangerous place but looking at Gong Xu once again she truly hoped that everything would be alright.

Outside, Xiao Lu watched Chen Li who had fished out binoculars out of nowhere and was surveying the hotel. He wanted to laugh but his phone rang, it was Chen Li's father. Before Chen Li could turn his head, he had already received the call.

A voice boomed as soon as he picked up he had to push the phone away from his ears. Chen Li also turned when he heard the voice. Xiao Lu put the call on loudspeaker before greeting the elder, "Uncle…"

The man on the phone was impatient, "Xiao Lu, have you seen Chen Li lately." He asked with his signature booming voice.

Xiao Lu looked toward the man on the other side of the car and sighed. Chen Li had directly hung up on his father which meant that he did not want to speak to him so he answered, "I haven't seen him uncle, is anything the matter?"

The old man sighed, "Do you think I don't know that he is right next to you right now…"

Xiao Lu's lips twitched and then he looked toward Chen Li. The Chen Li who had been caught just spoke lightly on the phone, "Dad,"

His father flared up, "Who are you calling dad? If you don't come home now, you can forget about me being your father!!" his shouts were getting louder and louder but Chen Li was not fazed at all.

"Dad, you know I have work," he counter but his father shouted,

"I. DON'T. CARE. COME HOME RIGHT NOW!!!"
