MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 12 Episode 90

The game was released for beta testing in no time.

The beta version was promoted online under Radiance’s name.

At the same time, the television series of the same name also held a press conference to announce the leading cast.

No one from Lin Che’s company had been chosen as a candidate for the male lead as there weren’t many people suited for the role. Xue Yang had also turned to film in movies instead. It had been a long time since he had taken up offers to act in television series. They were not planning to get him to come back for this television series, either.

As for the remaining people in the company, all of them were too young. There was no suitable person.

Thus, they selected a popular male celebrity from another company to be the male lead. His name was Han Yisheng.

He was very handsome and had several oriental features. He had long, thin eyes that slanted upwards. They made him very suitable for the image of the male lead in the television series. He was rigid and indifferent, with some degree of reservedness and evil.

Xingyi Company had actively come looking for them, wanting to give it a try and recommend this actor. They did not expect Lin Che to simply decide on him. The people of Xingyi Company were very happy as well and specially thanked Lin Che for this.

Lin Che did not tell them that it was actually just because she found his image to be suitable. She had the television series in mind, but it seemed as if she had done them a favor. Thus, she accepted their thanks.

Yu Minmin said to Lin Che, “You’re so much sneakier now. You don’t seem as gullible as you were in the past.”

Lin Che said, “Of course.”

Yu Minmin said, “The guru at home must have taught you well.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Lin Che smiled cheekily. She did know that she had only become like this because she had learned a lot from Gu Jingze.

At the same time, the author also uploaded the novel online.

The novel of the same name had started out with another name. The author soon realized that this name was quite good. Once the game was released, Lin Che agreed to promote the website for the novel as well. She had also agreed that the television series and the website would promote each other. The website immediately recommended the novel strongly, causing it to surge in popularity.

2Stupid could no longer control himself either and immediately released it under his own name.

Only then did everyone know that this game was actually written by 2Stupid. 2Stupid was a famous web novelist, to begin with. The novel became even more popular when the website started promoting it. They wanted 2Stupid to quickly end his ongoing novels and stop dividing his attention. He could simply make “Radiance” a bit longer.

Lin Che was still planning and preparing for matters related to the script when Crooked Neck suddenly called.

“Sister Che, aren’t you going online to take a look?”

Lin Che said, “I haven’t used my username yet.”

“Go online and take a look when you’re free. The beta version and our internal version are different. Go and see how many people are online and how popular it is, haha.”

Lin Che thought about it, opened her computer, and logged in to take a look.

The moment she opened the page, she realized that this area was completely filled. She had to wait in line to get in.

She waited for more than ten minutes before getting into the game.

Inside the game, the lively crowd seemed to Lin Che to be seething with excitement.

But before she had started moving around, she saw that someone in the center of the public square had set off fireworks.

There were many people in the center of the public square in the city area. Many people were buying and selling equipment, items, and resources in this area. Therefore, there was a particularly large number of people walking around. Lin Che had just walked over when she saw the “Che” word written large on the fireworks.

Well…

What was this?

Before Lin Che could react, she saw a message from Crooked Neck. “Sister Che, this is a present for you.”

“Ah, thank you.” So it was a present from them. Lin Che said cheerfully, “How thoughtful of you. Everyone has worked very hard too. You didn’t have to think about giving me a surprise. I’m so grateful.”

“…” Crooked Neck did not respond.

Crooked Neck said to KG, “I don’t think this will do. Sister Che looks quite smart, but I didn’t think she was this stupid. I think we have to give her even more of a surprise.”

KG looked at him, his gaze asking what else they had to do.

Crooked Neck said, “Looks like we have to do something drastic.”

Lin Che did not think much of it. Everyone had just given a present because they respected her.

In the afternoon, Han Yisheng came over to curry favor with Lin Che.

“Lin Che, you have a pretty good eye. This game really looks quite good. I just played it briefly. It’s indeed fun. Once the game gets popular, the television series will probably do well too.”

Lin Che asked, “Really?”

Han Yisheng said, “I took a look at the styling photos. They were quite nice.”

He had moved to the space beside Lin Che and was looking at her with a dreamy gaze.

Lin Che was focused only on her script and definitely did not notice him.

However, Yu Minmin witnessed this scene firsthand when she came in.

Chuckling, she walked over and asked, “Yisheng, why are you here?”

Han Yisheng quickly stood up. “Nice to meet you, Sister Yu. I was just telling Lin Che about the problems with the production.”

“Oh… is that so? You’re so dedicated to your work.”

“Yes. I think that there are still some things regarding this production that we have to discuss. Well, it’s nearly six now. Why don’t we have a meal together? Lin Che, let’s talk about it while eating.”

Lin Che looked up and smiled. “Oh, it’s alright. I’m planning to go back to my hotel room. I still have scripts to look at.”

Han Yisheng asked, “Then, why don’t we go back to your room and eat? I’ll get take out. We can eat while looking at the script.”

Lin Che said with a smile, “That really isn’t necessary. My taste in food is quite extreme. I don’t think we’ll share the same tastes either. Alright then. I’ll leave first.”

Lin Che was not used to eating with strangers, so she rejected the offer.

After she got up and walked away, Yu Minmin quickly trailed after her.

“Hey, I can’t believe it. This Han Yisheng dares to flirt with just anyone. But he doesn’t know who your husband is. Otherwise, he would’ve been scared witless a long time ago.”

Lin Che looked at Yu Minmin with an expression of complete bewilderment. “What? What flirting?”

Yu Minmin blinked twice. “He was flirting with you. Couldn’t you tell…”

“…” Lin Che said, “He wasn’t.”

“…”

Yu Minmin sighed and said, “You’re a real work of art. He was asking you out for a meal. Didn’t you reject him too?”

Lin Che said, “That’s because I want to eat spicy hot pot. I really didn’t want to eat something else with him.”

“…”

There was nothing else Yu Minmin could say.

In this aspect, Lin Che was really ridiculously slow.

Yu Minmin said, “Then, go and look for your spicy hot pot first. I’ll go and check on Han Yisheng. It’s best that someone gives him a warning. Otherwise, given his playboy nature, there will be terrible consequences if he went to flirt with other girls in the production crew.”

“Okay.”

Lin Che walked out when she was done speaking. However, Yu Minmin did not expect Han Yisheng to be hot on her heels.

Naturally, he wanted to get together with Lin Che.

All else aside, given her current influence and fame, he himself would definitely be able to attain a new level of fame if he could get together with her too.

However, he had not succeeded earlier in asking her out for a meal inside. He genuinely felt that he was facing a crisis.

The moment he came out, he immediately said again, “Lin Che, what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it and send it to you, alright?”

“No need. Thank you,” Lin Che said when she turned around to see that he had rushed after her.

Han Yisheng still had something to say and immediately approached her from behind. He was just about to stretch his arm out and pull her shoulder when someone unexpectedly grabbed him from behind, causing him to fall splat onto the ground.

Lin Che turned to look. She cried out in alarm, “KG, what are you doing…”
