MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE - SEASON 5 EPISODE 70

At the company.

Lin Che and Yu Minmin were chattering amongst themselves as they walked in.

“Remember to look at the script for Witch’s Diary. I’ll inform you about the audition when the time comes,” Yu Minmin said.

“Of course I will. I was always a loyal fan of this book, you know? I really loved reading it in the past. I’ve read it countless times. I know the plot of the story by heart.”

Yu Minmin said, “This time, the company is really pushing Qin Wanwan for the role. I wonder what drug she used to bewitch them. You should be more cautious.”

Lin Che said, “I’ve only been away for a month. Has she already taken over the entire company?”

“That’s not really the case either. But when you were here, the two of you were equally matched in terms of reputation and fan numbers, so the resources allocated to each of you were also roughly the same. During your time away, she instantly surpassed you in terms of reputation. Therefore, you can imagine the number of resources she was given.”

Lin Che could only shrug wordlessly.

Just then, the company called to inform Yu Minmin that they were about to have a meeting. Yu Minmin went in to attend the meeting and told Lin Che to return to her office first.

Lin Che walked further in. While walking, she heard music coming from the practice room for the newbies.

Lin Che walked towards the room and saw that the newbies were actually having dance practice.

She leaned against the wall and watched them. However, it did not take a long time for one of the newbies to notice Lin Che.

“Lin Che?”

“Wow, Sister Che. It really is Sister Che.”

It was not often that they could see celebrities like her who had gotten famous, around the company. Even if they were in the company, they stayed together with their teams in the studios that were allocated to them and did not really walk around outside.

Thus, when they suddenly saw Lin Che in the flesh in their practice room, the crowd of newbies could not hide their excitement and immediately walked towards her.

“Sister Che, why are you watching us practice?”

Lin Che smiled. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Continue practicing. I just passed by and came to take a look.”

She had not been in a good mood since early in the morning. Right now, she felt as if her mood had improved a little as she looked at their lively and fresh faces.

Perhaps it was because they made her think of the time before she had gotten popular when she had actually been just as clueless as they were now.

“Sister Che, we haven’t seen you around the company for a long time. Did you go away for a training camp?” One of the newbies looked at Lin Che and asked.

Lin Che smiled. “No, I didn’t. What makes you think that?”

“Your body looks like it changed a lot.”

Lin Che smiled. “It’s because I did a bit of training.”

“Sister Che, quick, share your secret with us. You trained your body so beautifully. Your muscles don’t look frightening at all. You have just a little bit of muscle and it really looks great, especially the muscle on your calves.”

Because Lin Che had been doing ballet, her physique had changed considerably. She felt that ballet was really good for her. Since she had started learning it, she was planning to continue practicing it whenever she had the time. She felt that it would probably aid her greatly in changing her physique.

Lin Che smiled and said to everyone, “There’s no secret to it. I think it probably has something to do with the fact that I’ve been dancing. I don’t really have any other secret.”

The noisy chatter over here attracted the attention of Qin Wanwan and her manager Sister Lin.

Their interest was piqued even more when they heard that Lin Che was here.

Qin Wanwan asked in a perplexed tone, “Why did Lin Che run off to the practice room for the newbies?”

Sister Lin scoffed and said, “Didn’t she run over there to get some attention because everyone else has been mocking her? Recently, we’ve taken away a lot of her resources. She returned to find absolutely nothing, so she was definitely sorely disappointed. Poor thing. What a pity that she was frightened when she saw you and ran away for a month at such a crucial time. She was the one who gave you this opportunity.”

Qin Wanwan smiled coldly when she heard this.

Lin Che was still engaging in mindless chatter over there.

“Aiyo, Lin Che. What a rare sight. Why did you come to the company all of a sudden? I can count the number of times you’ve been to the company this month,” Sister Lin said first and foremost.

Lin Che turned her head to see Qin Wanwan and her staff walking towards her. She smiled and did not want to waste her breath on them. She herself was not in a good mood and could not be bothered to argue with anyone.

She was just about to leave when Qin Wanwan grabbed her arm swiftly. “Lin Che, what exactly have you been doing for the past month? I was so worried about you.”

She squeezed Lin Che’s arm and felt that her upper arm had become much sturdier. Her muscles were evenly distributed and were much more defined.

She could not help but think that sure enough, Lin Che had gone off for some secret training camp.

In an instant, she put her guard up. She wondered what exactly Lin Che had up her sleeve.

Lin Che pushed Qin Wanwan’s hand aside in annoyance. “I just went to handle some private matters.”

Sister Lin looked at the newbies with a face full of arrogance and her arms crossed over her chest.

The newbies looked at the two celebrities before them. Then, they looked to the side at the manager Sister Lin.

Sister Lin smiled and asked, “Did you go off in secret to do something for Witch’s Diary?”

Recently, casting calls were being held for Witch’s Diary. Everyone knew how important this television series was. If they could get a role in the series, they might become famous in the future.

Hence, people inevitably suspected that Lin Che was preparing something since she had suddenly chosen to disappear for a period of time.

Lin Che asked, “Witch’s Diary? Each person has to use their skills to compete for a role. What can I do in secret? You guys are thinking too much.”

There was no way that Sister Lin would believe her nonsense. Sister Lin stood there and said disdainfully, “This role belongs to our Wanwan. I’m telling you this in advance. We’re practically certain that Wanwan will get it. So don’t waste your energy anymore. Take a good look at who exactly is running this company now. You’ve already lost the best resource you initially had. Right now, you don’t have the right to express any opinion anymore.”

Lin Che smiled grimly and looked at them. She did not want to concern herself with what they were saying and turned around to leave.

Sister Lin tugged at her arm and grabbed her hard. She threatened her viciously, “I’m not Yu Minmin, that useless manager of yours. If you don’t want to lose your chance at surviving in the entertainment industry, you’d best remember my words today.”

At this moment.

Behind her, someone dashed in swiftly.

That person came to Lin Che’s side like the wind.

Before Lin Che and Qin Wanwan could even react, they saw the man push Sister Lin’s hand away in one swift motion.

As the man had used all of his strength, Sister Lin was immediately pushed to the side and she staggered a few steps before finding her balance.

Sister Lin looked at the person before her strangely.

Lin Che froze as well.

“Situ, why are you here?”

Situ Qiong glanced coldly at Sister Lin at the side.

Qin Wanwan’s eyes stilled.

Situ?

Who was that?

Situ Qiong pulled Lin Che to his side and turned around to look at Sister Lin. “Who was the one who said just now that she would kick Lin Che out of the entertainment industry?”

As she had not figured out who the person in front of her was, Sister Lin’s eyes paused and she was at a loss for words.

Situ Qiong turned his head and immediately said to Lin Che, “Don’t worry, Lin Che. If anyone kicks you out of the entertainment industry, I’ll make sure she can’t survive in this world.”

Situ Qiong glared menacingly at Sister Lin. It sent shivers up her body.
