Chapter 74
"By the way, Sister Tangtang, do you want to come to our company? I remember your previous company was quite..."
The incident with previous agent Wang Brother made waves inside and outside the industry. Lin Mianmian naturally heard about this incident too.
The olive branch extended by the female lead was something Shen Tang quite wanted to take, but interacting too much with the female lead was not a good thing either.
Shen Tang painfully declined, "Forget it, I'm quite good now. My new agent treats me very well. It was her who allowed me to come for the audition this time."
Lin Mianmian's expression was somewhat subtle.
"Then alright... If you change your mind in the future, you can contact me anytime."
"Sure."
After Lin Mianmian left, Shen Tang found a corner to rest and clear her emotions, so as not to affect her audition later.
Afraid of others disturbing her, she specially took a magazine to cover her face.
Perhaps because places like these have more accidents, not long after, a clamor rose not far from Shen Tang.
"Hey, who's this? How did you come for the audition, could it be... you climbed into someone's bed?" A female voice sounded mocking.
"How can you say that!"
"Heh, whether you climbed into someone's bed or not, you know clearly in your heart, yet you're afraid of others talking about it?"
"I climbed into someone's bed? Who did I climb into bed with? On what basis are you speaking so vulgarly?"
"A relationship? You got into a relationship with someone else's boyfriend? Huh, your mouth really does not choose, huh."
"Someone else's boyfriend?"
"You can't possibly want to say you didn't know right?"
"I... I really didn't know. He said his ex-girlfriend died, and had been single all this while..."
The girl was silent for a moment, gnashing her teeth, "I'm still alive and kicking, don't curse me dead. Moreover, how could a 30 something year old single man possibly be believed."
"I..." The other girl stammered, seemingly not knowing how to explain.
Shen Tang was already very embarrassed to be forced to listen in on gossip, what was more embarrassing was these two did not leave, and she somewhat needed the bathroom.
Regarding this matter, she as an outsider did not know right from wrong, whether the girl was innocent or not she did not know, but the man must definitely be a scumbag.
Seeing the two still confronting each other there, Shen Tang could not hold it in any longer.
She removed the magazine from her face, and had not even opened her mouth to speak, when a male voice sounded from beside, "Then what happened?"
The three looked over simultaneously, the chubby looking man gave an honest smile, "Sorry, I was sleeping here just now, accidentally overheard your conversation."
Shen Tang raised her hand saying weakly, "Me too..."
The two girls were somewhat unhappy, but since it was not intentional by the others, there was nothing that could be said.
"It's fine."
The other girl suspected of being a mistress explained red-faced, "You... don't misunderstand, I really am not a mistress that destroyed someone else's relationship..."
Shen Tang actually did not care about all this. They were strangers after all, she was not interested in other people's love lives.
However, the man stroked his chin, "According to what you said, this man should be a scumbag, putting on a single image out there, who knows how many people he has tricked!"
Come to speak of it, that was indeed a possibility.
"Who is that man? I might even recognize him." The man said.
The two girls looked at each other, neither seeming to want to say.
Seeing the atmosphere turn rather awkward, the man casually waved his hand, "Harm, I don't mean to pry into your privacy, it's just that if he is someone from the industry, I might recognize him."
The two girls hesitated for a moment, before finally saying—
"Chen Mingyu."
"Chen Junjie."
Shen Tang: "???"
"Two people?"
The initial provoking girl was also somewhat panicked, what if she had gotten the wrong person...
"That can't be. I've seen your photo in his phone before, it must be right..."
The last part was spoken softer, seemingly to convince the other person, or perhaps to convince herself instead.
The other girl firmly said, "I'm certain his name is Chen Junjie. I've seen his IC before."
"Oh dear, I haven't heard of these two names before. What does he do?" The man scratched his head.
"Photographer."
"Photographer."
Since their occupations were the same, then in all likelihood, it was the same person.
Shen Tang suggested, "Why not get him out to meet up? However you look at it, he has a part to play in this matter."
If the other girl really was cheated on, then that would truly be miserable.
Both girls agreed to this method. After all, there were no other good solutions.
For guys like these, even if caught red-handed in bed, they would never admit it either.
The girl suspected of being the mistress asked, "You... are Shen Tang right?"
Shen Tang nodded, "You know me?"
"Hello, I'm He Xue. You saved my older sister previously... Now she's your hardcore fan, always asking us to vote for you everyday in our family chat group."
He Xue did not explain in detail, but Shen Tang guessed what had happened. It was likely the previous incident.
She had jokingly talked about them becoming her fan, yet she did not expect someone to take it so seriously.
Shen Tang felt somewhat moved, "Thank your sister for liking me. By the way, what's your sister's Weibo username?"
He Xue opened and closed her mouth, before finally saying softly, "I am Steamed Bun ^_^."
"Pfft!" The other girl immediately burst out laughing, "Your sister's Weibo username is really interesting. By the way, I'm Li Menglong."
With the barrier broken, the two no longer continued provoking each other. The rights and wrongs would soon be uncovered.
Shen Tang felt this Weibo username was extremely familiar, yet she could not recall it for a moment.
"Are you here for the audition too?"
He Xue nodded, "I'm here to audition for the female lead's maid."
Li Menglong stroked her hair, "What a coincidence. I'm also auditioning for this role. Looks like we'll be competing again."
Shen Tang and the man were somewhat nervous, fearing conflict might erupt between the two girls again.
The man hastily spoke, "I feel you're more suitable for the role of the petty princess."
Li Menglong nearly burst out laughing, "I clearly know my own limits. That's at least the fifth female lead right? I can't get that role."
The man thumped his chest, "What I say goes."
"You are..."
The man gave an honest smile, "I'm the director."
The three women: "..."
It was truly awkward, giving awkwardness the key to open the door. Reaching peak awkward levels.
Too amusing, not a single one had recognized the director.
