Qi Le An didn’t expect to see Chu Cheng Yuan when he met the director of “The Disguiser”.

The moment he saw Chu Cheng Yuan, he just stood transfixed with shock. It wasn’t until Chen Shan tapped him on the shoulder did he reach out his hand to shake Director Yang’s hand.

Chu Cheng Yuan stood behind Director Yang, acting like he didn’t know Qi Le An.

Yin Yan didn’t seem to know there would be someone else. Director Yang chuckled and introduced, “This is Chu Cheng Yuan from Glory, Xiao Chu. This is Manager Yin.”

Chu Cheng Yuan was much taller than Qi Le An, he looked much mature as well. He wore a plain white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, he looked handsome and approachable, “Hello, nice to meet you, Manager Yin.”

Yin Yan shook hands with Chu Cheng Yuan and said, “Such a handsome young man.”

After the introduction, they started to take a seat.

Qi Le An was terribly upset. ‘What is Chu Cheng Yuan doing here? When did he become an artist in Glory?’

‘It shouldn’t be like this. Did the nightmare I fabricated for him have zero effect on him?’

Qi Le An’s first thought was to enter the system and torment Chu Cheng Yuan.

This thought caused him to spend all his time thinking about how to get some hair from Chu Cheng Yuan, he didn’t even pay attention to the conversation between Yin Yan and Director Yang.

Director Yang asked, ” An? Is everything all right? You don’t seem to have a good appetite.”

Qi Le An screamed in his heart, ‘Would you have a good appetite if you are having lunch with the person who has murdered you?’

“Thank you for asking, Director Yang, nothing serious, it’s just my stomach is a little uncomfortable…” Qi Le An smiled apologetically and served himself a piece of yam.

Hearing that, the production of “The Disguiser” mentioned that they needed to take care of themselves from an early age, one of his best friends had recently died of stomach cancer. With that silence reigned the room, Yin Yan changed the topic to health-enhancing herbal tea, and the atmosphere became lively again.

This wasn’t an official meeting. It was more like a private gathering. Apart from the scriptwriter and director and the producer of “The Disguiser”, only Yin Yan, Qi Le An, Chen Shan, and Chu Cheng Yuan were present.

Chu Cheng Yuan, on the other hand, was there as an artist from Glory.

Qi Le An couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Even though he had taught Chu Cheng Yuan a lesson when he met in film and television city, this scum still managed to enter Glory.

“Jian Jun told me that An is perfect for the part of Li Guang Yan!” said Producer Cui.

Li Guang Yan was the male lead of “The Disguiser”, the young master of the rich family who had thrown himself into the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

As soon as Producer Cui mentioned the drama, the people at the dining table all looked concentrated.

In other TV dramas, casting was usually a game played by all the investors and the producers. But “The Disguiser” was different. The director and producer were all from Sunshine Era. As long as they said you had the part, you could rest assured.

Qi Le An looked at Producer Cui and said obediently, “Li Guang Yan is always giving positive energy. I like this role very much.”

Back in 2012, the word “positive energy” wasn’t a buzzword yet. The moment Qi Le An said that everyone on the table was stunned, Li Jian Jun repeated the word a few times and exclaimed, “Positive energy! What a great word! That indeed is our male lead.”

Director Yang also said, “Haha, that is very precise! Yin, it looks like An has done a lot of homework!”

Yin Yan and Li Jian Jun were close friends, so naturally, he was on good terms with Director Yang as well.

Qi Le An let out a sigh of relief. Everything went smoothly, Qi Le An was more confident that he would get the part now.

But to his surprise, Producer Cui said, “But I think An is a little young for Li Guang Yan. ”

In the drama, Li Guang Yan was a 20-year-old freshman at Beijing University, so Qi Le An was a bit young.

However, Qi Le An was prepared. He smiled and said, “The female lead of ‘Oranges’ is almost ten years younger than the character. It’s all about the execution and how the actor is going to portray the character.”

When he said this, even Yin Yan could not help but turn head, Chen Shan who was sitting beside Qi Le An showed a broad smile.

‘Good boy! You are well-prepared!’

“Oranges” was the first TV series produced by the Sunshine Era. It was a legendary woman’s epic life story. They couldn’t afford to hire any famous actress to play the female lead, so they cast a young actress who was almost ten years younger than the character.

“Oranges” wasn’t exactly a hit, but the actress’s performance was on point and beautiful. Sunshine Era had attracted a lot of investments thanks to the success of the first drama, for the people who were present at that dining table, “Oranges” always held a special spot in their hearts.

Coincidentally, Producer Cui was also the producer of “Oranges”.

This TV series was aired five or six years ago. Nowadays, very few people mentioned it, especially young people. The fact that Qi Le An mentioned it meant he had done a lot of homework.

“You’re right. As long as you can deliver, age isn’t an issue.” Producer Cui looked convinced.

Qi Le An smiled. He knew Sunshine Era only cared about good acting. They only cast the real deal rather than the eye candies.

Qi Le An was hell-bent on getting the role!

Chu Cheng Yuan now looked very ill at ease. He knew he didn’t stand a chance now, even the management from Glory couldn’t help him to get the part.

After talking about “Oranges”, the atmosphere at the dining table became even more relaxed. Qi Le An had left a perfect first impression on Producer Cui.

Yin Yan praised Qi Le An on the way back, “An, good job!”

Qi Le An said humbly, “I can’t take all the credit, Chen Ge helped me find a lot of information too.”

Yin Yan nodded. He gave Chen Shan a thumbs up as well.

“You don’t have to worry about Chu Cheng Yuan,” Yin Yan said, “By the way, are you free tonight?”

Qi Le An “Sorry, I have plans already.”

Yin Yan was a bit surprised, he asked curiously, “Homework?”

Qi Le An hesitated for a moment and said, “I want to visit Wei Sama in City B.”

Chen Shan, who was sitting right in front of Qi Le An in the car, was stunned.

He was flying back to City B that night. Why didn’t Qi Le An mention a word that he was going to City B as well?

Yin Yan said in a low voice, “It’s time to visit him.”

Qi Le An didn’t know if Yin Yan knew the news of Wei Chang Feng’s accident, but he heard from Gary that Wei Chang Feng would remove the cast tomorrow, so he wanted to pay a visit to Wei Chang Feng.

In the past month, he would call Wei Chang Feng every three or five days to just chit chat. Qi Le An became more and more thick-skinned on the phone, he would make the phone calls ridiculously long, like to one or two hours.

However, it was him who did the talking, Wei Chang Feng was usually the listener. He wished Wei Chang Feng could be this talkative towards him!

‘How great is that gonna be! Wei Sama tries to talk to me more, I will just listen!’

The driver drove Qi Le An and Chen Shan to Qi Le An’s place. As soon as they got off the car, Chen Shan asked, “Are you going to City B?”

Qi Le An smiled and said, “Surprise!”

Chen Shan pulled a long face.

Qi Le An explained, “I bought the ticket on a whim. I’ll be back tomorrow night.”

“Does Wei Chang Feng know about this?”

Qi Le An shook his head.

Chen Shan sneered, “So it’s not a surprise for me. It’s for him.”

Qi Le An, “…”

“You know I love you, Chen Mama” Qi Le An played cutely, ” I would go to your place if Wei Sama refused to see me!”

Chen Shan rolled his eyes and muttered, “I don’t know what you have seen in Wei Chang Feng… Forget it.”

Qi Le An showed a goofy smile.

Chen Shan hang out at Qi Le An’s for a bit and returned home. Qi Le An started to pack up his luggage after Chen Shan left. He packed light because he was only going to stay for one night. Somehow he had put his one of his exercise book in the suitcase because he wanted to show off all the 100 points.

Chen Shan and Qi Le An were taking the same flight at eight o’clock in the evening. Qi Le An had dinner at home. He loved the housekeeper recommended by Qi Le An, especially her cooking.

The housekeeper used to work at Chen Shan’s house, Chen Shan recommended her to Qi Le An because he knew she was great.

Qi Le An washed the dishes himself after lunch. At six o’clock, Chen Shan called him saying he was waiting for him to go to the airport together under the building.

Qi Le An was excited and nervous thinking he was going to meet Wei Chang Feng in a few hours.

Chen Shan asked his family driver to drive them to the airport. Seeing Qi Le An’s expression, he couldn’t help saying, “It’s just a Wei Chang Feng! Relax!”

“It’s not just Wei Chang Feng! It is WEI CHANG FENG!” Qi Le An countered.

Chen Shan rolled his eyes and said, “By the way, do you know that Chu Cheng Yuan?”

Qi Le An’s expression stiffened and he said, “I don’t know him.”

Chen Shan looked confused, “I feel like you don’t like him… Since Yin Yan is confident you will get the part, so don’t worry too much.”

Chu Cheng Yuan joined Glory after Qi Le An left. Chen Shan noticed that Qi Le An was ill at ease after he saw Chu Cheng Yuan so he wanted to ask whether everything was okay

Qi Le An nodded.

Since Chu Cheng Yuan dared to appear in front of him, Qi Le An was determined to revenge himself! He would tear Chu Cheng Yuan’s mask in front of everyone!

Chu Cheng Yuan better watch out.

“You don’t know Chu Cheng Yuan?” Chen Shan noticed Qi Le An’s expression had changed when he mentioned Chu Cheng Yuan’s name, “I always feel you look strange when I mention him.”

“I don’t know him,” Qi Le An said innocently, “He joined Glory after I have left.”

Chen Shan nodded. Qi Le An didn’t have a chance to know Chu Cheng Yuan.

They arrived at the airport soon, they were both traveling light, neither of them had to check-in luggage. Qi Le An put on a mask and a hat, he was so excited to go to city B.
