CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 390: COULD HE BE THE CROWN PRINCE OF BEILE GROUP?

Wan Chen’s identity was exposed, but he showed no displeasure or panic.

His identity was not intentionally concealed in the first place; he just felt it was unnecessary to mention it.

After all, everyone is just a passerby in life, and he didn’t need to introduce himself to every insignificant person he met.

Wan Chen calmly spoke: "Yeah, I find her unpleasant. Also, how could our company be so blind, choosing her instead of you?"

Chen Xixi definitely looks more pleasing than that... what’s-her-name, Jingjing, and is less annoying.

"I too want to know who was so blind to replace me."

Chen Xixi initially wanted to find the person in charge and argue her case, but now it seems unnecessary.

Wan Chen glanced at the person in charge who was communicating with Wu Jingjing on the set and sneered: "What a coincidence! I want to replace her now, so let’s replace her with you."

Chen Xixi replied with satisfaction: "Worthy of a young master, you have good taste!"

Mainly because it’s an opportunity coming right to his door; it would be unreasonable not to take advantage of it.

Wan Chen then said: "I am not considering relationships, I just think your popularity and traffic are higher than hers, and you are more welcomed by netizens. I am purely considering the interests of our company."

Chen Xixi smiled and said, "Thank you, Crown Prince, for your affirmation."

"Don’t mention it, I am not any Crown Prince." Wan Chen couldn’t stand the title; it gave him goosebumps.

After saying this, Wan Chen turned around and walked away with his phone.

Chen Xixi thought since Wan Chen is handling this matter, she might as well go back and wait for updates.

But just as she walked a few steps towards the entrance, Wu Jingjing gave her a meaningful look: "You don’t have a role right now, are you here to watch the excitement? Or are you here to talk to the director and the person in charge about the advertisement script?"

Chen Xixi looked at Wu Jingjing’s smug expression and spoke unhurriedly: "If you put it that way, then I am here to watch the excitement."

Wu Jingjing would have left if she hadn’t spoken.

However, if Wu Jingjing particularly wants to see her losing the advertisement script, getting angry and jealous to the point of desperation, then Chen Xixi will give Wu Jingjing a chance; she’ll stay to see who ends up watching whose drama.

Wu Jingjing smiled slightly, inwardly scoffing at how shameless some women can be. Replaced yet still fighting for a spot—would anyone easily get replaced if it was that simple? So naive!

Wu Jingjing took off her coat and handed it to her assistant, then stood at the shooting spot as directed by the director.

However, just as every actor and prop were in place, a Beile Company manager rushed over anxiously: "Wait! Hold on a moment before shooting!"

The director frowned slightly, but dared not complain, since they were dealing with a financier.

Chen Xixi and Wu Jingjing both turned their attention to the Beile Company manager.

After catching his breath, the manager spoke to the director. The director’s expression turned grave, and then he nodded.

Wu Jingjing asked impatiently, "What’s going on? I’m all set, are we shooting or not?"

This play is filming summer scenes in winter, and although there is heating inside the store, it couldn’t fend off the cold from her wearing a short-sleeve shirt and a skirt.

Wu Jingjing rubbed her arms for warmth: "I have scenes to shoot later. If I catch a cold, it will affect all the work!"

After hanging up the phone and leaning against a shelf to watch the fun, Wan Chen, overhearing Wu Jingjing’s words, couldn’t help but chuckle: "A twenty-eighth tier actress, thinking herself so precious. Without work, I wonder if you’ll still carry the same arrogance."

Just as Wu Jingjing finished speaking, the director stood up and shouted: "This segment’s advertisement role goes back to Chen Xixi!"

Chen Xixi: Teehee.

Wu Jingjing: No chuckling.

Wu Jingjing looked incredulously at Chen Xixi, who was still smiling, then turned to the director and the person in charge from Beile, questioning, "Weren’t you supposed to replace her with me!"

The person in charge from Beile Company adjusted his glasses: "Our higher-ups suddenly decided that we still need to use Chen Xixi."

Wu Jingjing frowned and said, "How can you go back on your word at the last minute?"

The person in charge from Beile spoke in an official tone: "This is the decision from our leaders; we can’t do anything about it."

Chen Xixi thought to herself, it’s just because they hit a snag.

She couldn’t help clapping her hands: "I knew there would be a scene."

Wu Jingjing glared at Chen Xixi angrily: "You must have sabotaged me behind the scenes!"

Chen Xixi spoke in a relaxed tone: "You should speak with evidence, randomly slandering people is impolite, and as a celebrity, you shouldn’t lack such basic decency... Ah right, what kind of manners can one expect from a celebrity who curses others in public as ladyboys? The world today has really turned upside down; anyone can become a celebrity in the entertainment industry, no wonder it’s said to be chaotic with such low entry barriers."

Wu Jingjing clenched her teeth in anger: "Who are you saying lacks manners?! It was that damned kid who took advantage of me first; that’s why I was angry!"

Chen Xixi immediately retorted: "Don’t always claim others took advantage of you. We have surveillance in this store; we can check the evidence!"

Having known Wan Chen for so long, how could she not know what kind of person he is?

They used to sleep in the living room together, and she had never seen Wan Chen act indecently. Moreover, Han Qianyi had also previously mentioned that Wan Chen was a decent person, especially respectful towards women and very aware of boundaries. Besides, with someone of Wan Chen’s status, if he really wanted a woman, he could find anyone he wanted, no need to take this kind of cheap advantage.

Compared to believing that Wan Chen would take advantage of a woman, she was more inclined to believe Wu Jingjing was causing a scene here.

Wu Jingjing initially wanted to insist on checking the surveillance, confident and defiant, but seeing Chen Xixi’s resolute gaze and recalling that she had just seen Chen Xixi talking with that salesman, possibly colluding to set her up, she swallowed her words.

She didn’t want to be humiliated in public.

Wu Jingjing grabbed a coat from her assistant and draped it over herself, speaking indignantly: "I don’t have time to waste words with you people!"

Wu Jingjing left with her assistant, exiting the mother and baby store, but then she stopped.

The more she thought about it, the less willing she was to let it go!

How could someone else suddenly replace her for the job that was practically hers?!

She returned to her RV and called the president of Tianyu, complaining: "Weren’t the ad lines for this drama promised to me? What did you talk about with the person from Beile? Why did you replace me now?"

...

Meanwhile.

Someone at the filming location had uploaded the video of Wu Jingjing insulting Wan Chen online.

Netizens saw the person being insulted and couldn’t sit still!

[Isn’t Wu Jingjing calling Wan Chen a "ladyboy"?!]

[Really? His presence was so low in the variety show that I almost didn’t recognize him if you hadn’t mentioned it!]

[Why does she have to insult Wan Chen? What right does she have to say Wan Chen’s monthly salary isn’t enough to buy her a bag? Looking down on people? Isn’t she just an eighteen-tier small-time celebrity? What qualifications does she have to talk about others!]

[Didn’t Wan Chen say in the love variety show that his family runs a mother and baby store? He’s working at the Beile Mother and Baby Store now; is he possibly the Crown Prince of Beile Group?]

[Oh my! So he’s the real young master!]

[Laughable, would a real young master go on a money-saving variety show to starve? I think it’s more likely that he’s the owner of this branch. Is a store manager worth being called Crown Prince by you all!]
