335 Press Conference (1/2)
Ever since Y Cosmetics went viral, Zhang Yunxi[1] became swamped with work. She would leave with Miyako early in the morning and return late at night. However, under Ye Lingchen's insistence, they finally changed the operating hours of the cosmetic store to open from 8:30am to 7:30pm. Otherwise, Zhang Yunxi would continue to man the store early in the morning.
There was no other way. If he did not set the operating hours, Zhang Yunxi would not be able to rest, as there would still be a large number of customers coming in for makeup at night.
Hengdian Studios, on the other hand, was the place where Xiao Feifei gathered the filming crew.
iPartment's script and main casts were set. Next up was to start filming, and Ye Lingchen naturally had to be present to mobilize the crew.
Arriving at Hengdian Studios, both Xiao Feifei and Li Tai were present and were familiarizing the script with everyone. Once they saw Ye Lingchen, they immediately came forward to greet him.
”Young Master Ye, you're here,” Li Tai greeted with a smile.
Ye Lingchen nodded. ”Are there any issues with the script?”
”None at all! All these years as a director, this is the best script I've seen. To put it in our internet slang, if this TV series fails to become a hit, I'll livestream eating poop!” Li Tai laughed out loud and was seemingly in a good mood.
At the same time, he grew more and more respectful of Ye Lingchen. Not only was he the boss, he was also extremely talented. Each of his scripts was amazingly written. He must get on his good side.
Ye Lingchen lifted his head slightly and noticed that Hu Yifei, Lin Wanyu, and the rest were looking at him. However, they were quite restrained and waved at Ye Lingchen with an awkward smile.
On their first meeting, they made their boss treat them to a meal. Whenever they thought of that, their face would turn scarlet. They were really too brazen.
Ye Lingchen laughed. ”Relax, there's no need to be tense.”
Right then, Li Jing and Muhammad Ali came over at the same time and greeted him respectfully, ”Master!”
Ye Lingchen checked them out, noticing that they had improved significantly and gave a slight nod.
”Master, the Kungfu you taught us is really amazing. My physique improved significantly!” Li Jing exclaimed excitedly.
”Master, my strength is also much stronger,” Muhammad Ali chimed in as well and continued, ”When will you let us take part in an action film? I think I can make it more impressive than before!”
Ali and Li Jing were guest stars that played some minor characters in iPartment. They were not somewhat unsatisfied.
”Lingchen, this is our audition location. There are still some minor character selections pending. Have a look.” Xiao Feifei passed him a stack of materials that she had arranged.
”Sister Feifei, just act as you see fit. I believe in your decision.”
Xiao Feifei rolled her eyes at Ye Lingchen. ”Tsk, cut that flattery. You're just too lazy to go through them.”
After that, Ye Lingchen stayed on set and advised on some of the key points in filming. He then treated everyone to a luxurious lunch before heading home.
”Ahhh, Young Master Ye is so cool. He's actually letting us take the role of the main characters! Is he trying to seduce me? What should I do?” Meijia said as she stared at the back of Ye Lingchen's figure.
”Hehe, keep your sluttiness to yourself. In that brain of yours, you probably already planned what postures you would want to use when being seduced,” Lu Xiaobu scoffed as he shot a disdainful look at Meijia.
”But Young Master Ye is really handsome, young, and rich, not to mention talented. He's really a real-life Prince Charming,” Lin Wanyu chimed in flirtatiously as well. ”Furthermore, he seems to know martial arts. Sister Yifei, I remember your criteria for a partner was to have someone that could subdue you mentally and physically. Young Master Ye seems to fit the bill.”

The weekend passed by quickly.
