Wen Qiao was still a bit sleepy, "Is that so."
"But, everyone online is spreading rumors about you having a sugar daddy. You know, with your current status snagging the Female Lead for 'Red Makeup' does look a bit unseemly, and it's my fault I didn't make it clear yesterday. You should've just asked President Fu to arrange a screen test for you, after all, I do believe in your acting skills."
"You worry about whether it looks bad or not, if you're fed, that's enough. Why ignore a shortcut and waste time taking the long road? That's not stupidity, what is it? Don't worry about it, has the crew said when filming starts?"
Jiang Yao was successfully distracted, "We start shooting in a week, but you have to take a set of makeup photos today. I'll come over to pick you up later."
Only a week left, huh...
I need to strike while the iron's hot and make my presence felt to Fu Jinghen. It was already decided to only have three months, and once filming starts, I'll have to stay on set every day; there'll be no time for flirting with him.
"Okay, I got it."
Jiang Yao was still somewhat concerned, "You better stay off the internet recently, to avoid getting upset."
Wen Qiao was indifferent, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
"Oh, right, bring me some clothes when you come.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qiao was fully awake. She opened Weibo and, sure enough, saw 'Red Makeup' and her name trending.
'Red Makeup', being a drama with the Female Lead at its core, had always meant the selection of the Female Lead was under intense scrutiny. The sudden official announcement this morning naturally sparked a wave of discussion.
"Wen Qiao? Really, Wen Qiao? She's suitable?"
"Come on, which secretary can check how many people Wen Qiao has slept with to get the role of Princess Rong Huan?"
"She must've slept with the whole crew, right?"
"Have the director and scriptwriter gone mad? Actually choosing Wen Qiao to play the proud and unyielding Princess Rong Huan???"
"Wen Qiao is just a vase that relies on her face and figure to get by. What else does she have? The threshold for the entertainment industry is really low, any kind of person can get in, completely disregarding talent and character."
"...."
The comments online were unbearable, but Wen Qiao didn't care, let them curse however they wanted, her role as the Female Lead was a done deal anyway.
As for that comment about her getting by on her face and figure...
Wasn't that a compliment?
Wen Qiao rolled her eyes, tidied up her hair, turned on the camera, and took a photo of her unadorned face. She then flipped through the photo album, the original owner didn't seem to like taking selfies, there were hardly any of her own pictures, but there was a pile of Qi Ming's.
Wen Qiao shook her head and deleted Qi Ming's photos cleanly, then got out of bed and walked to the wardrobe in her dressing room, starting to pose in front of the floor mirror.
"What a waste of natural resources, not to show off such a good figure..."
Wen Qiao muttered to herself while striking poses in front of the mirror.
What Fu Jinghen saw when he walked in was Wen Qiao with one hand behind her head and one hand on her hip, her butt twisted to the side as if about to fly off.
Wen Qiao saw the reflection of someone extra in the mirror and smiled, "Good morning, President Fu."
Fu Jinghen leaned against the doorframe, arms folded, leisurely watching the woman before him, "Trying to seduce me first thing in the morning?"
"Did you major in narcissism in college or something?" Wen Qiao shook her phone, "I'm taking pictures, but if you want to think that, it's not impossible either."
Fu Jinghen ignored her latter words, walked into the dressing room, and began to change clothes in front of the wardrobe.
