Chapter 136. The joint meeting
”Brother Ren.”
Xiao Rin entered the room with slow steps as she looked around the meeting room.
Chief Han was also besides her.
”You are finally here. Sit down.”
Ren said as he sipped his coffee. He was not sleeping much these days because of all the work that he had acc.u.mulated for himself.
”Who is she?”
Xiao Rin glanced at Ying Yue besides Ren. Her eyes were filled with little hostility while Ying Yue was staring at Xiao Rin with stars in her eyes.
”You were interested in the movie, «A born star», right?”
”Yes. Brother Ren, I heard some rumours about it. Are the rumours really true?”
Her gaze became one with worry when Ren said that. She forgot about Ying Yue for a second and retracted her gaze from her.
”Yes, the rumours are true and I called you to ask you about something.”
Ren said as he laughed.
”Really! I thought that the rumours were true but you really went all out this time.”
Chief Han suddenly said but he became silent once he perceived that the atmosphere was serious.
Xiao Rin continued after that.
”Yes, I liked the screenplay but Brother Ren, why are you asking that?”
She asked that with some expectations and confusion in her eyes.
”Then, What do you think about playing the female lead in it?”
”Huh??”
That was the trigger that shocked both Xiao Rin and Chief Han.
Especially Chief Han, he looked like someone who has just heard that that he has a terminal illness or something.
”Meet Director Ying Yue. She is the writer and the director of «A born star».”
Ren said as he glanced at Ying Yue and she smiled slightly.
”The director!?”
When she heard that, Xiao Rin stood up from her seat and bowed to her.
This discipline was embedded into her since her trainee days.
She no longer showed the hostility she had shown earlier, she was acting like a meek hamster now.
”You don't have to bow to me. I am just a rookie and unknown director.”
Ying Yue was slightly startled by her and it took a minute for Ren to calm down the situation.
”I really liked your acting in your drama and I think you are just like the female lead I imagined. I want you to play the female lead in my movie.”
”I, I also liked your screenplay.”
Xiao Rin said as she showed a baffled look. She was glancing at Ren from time to time.
”Actually, we were thinking about the female leads for the movie and Director Ying's first choice was you.”
”Really?”
”Yes, I am playing the male lead. We were asking you to be the female lead in the movie? We want to ask if you want to do…..?”
”I will do it.”
Before Ren could finish his sentence, Xiao Rin answered with a lighting speed.
'Female lead!'
The last time she acted with Ren was when they acted in the drama together and even then, they were acting as brother and sister.
But playing the female lead against him was different. She felt her cheeks becoming hot, thinking about it.
A light blush appeared on her cheeks when she glanced at Ren.
”Wait a minute! What about the CEO? Have you persuaded her about it?”
