Chapter 4 Irresistible Temptation 3

  Bae Yoo-jin's 10-year contract with Tianyu has expired. Li Xue, the public relations manager of Forest Fish, found Ye Ge and hoped that Bae Yoo-jin could develop in the entertainment industry. He highly valued Bae Yoo-jin's image and potential.

  Singing and acting, acting and singing, with the added fact that the singer's career was getting increasingly bleak, Yi Ge and Pei Yichen discussed and decided to sign with 'Forest Fish'.

  Acting is not as good as singing. Music is Pei Yichen's life and his beloved, and he can do it very well too.

  As for acting, Pei Yichen felt that there was always an invisible barrier in front of him, he couldn't pass through it, squeeze through it or fly over it.

  Yue often encouraged him, saying that singing is also a performance. After all, he had experience in stage performances and couldn't give up as soon as he encountered a bottleneck. At first, because of dance, wasn't it also very frustrating for him? Now, what does dance mean to him?

  Bai Yichen often encourages himself in this way, but acting is really his blind spot and weakness. The company has been very considerate of him, "Le Tu Nan An" is his first drama, but the lineup is the strongest in their company's history.

  Although he only played the second male lead, Murong Peng, many experienced actors just showed their faces here. In order not to mess up his first shot, he had to work hard to prepare, but now... it's not just about acting, even moving has become a problem.

  The company was quite good to him, cancelling all his work before the shoot and letting him rest at home. Only his agent, Yiko, and a few leaders of their company knew about his broken leg.

  He hung up the phone and took a sip of water: "Fortunately, I didn't formally sign with that sportswear company, or else I would have lost big time."

  Yes, the advertisement hasn't been signed yet, but the TV series has. We'll start filming in two months, what to do? Pei Yichen looked at Yi Ge with a tired expression and felt apologetic in his heart.

  He could walk to this day, thanks to Yige. No matter in his most disappointing or most proud moments of life, Yige was always his most firm and intimate supporter, although they also quarreled over many things, but the fact proved that Yige put him first in everything, and he was often right.

  "Drink it all up... what are you looking at?"

  "Thank you!" Pei Yichen slightly furrowed his brow, but didn't refuse: "My MV."

  He glanced at it and saw that it was Pei Yichen's masterpiece: "How did you think of looking at this again?"

  "Just take a look."

  Want to take a look? Seeing Pei Yichen's infatuated expression, Yi Ge knew what Pei Yichen was thinking. After all these years, the only work Pei Yichen had kept was just one - his masterpiece. Yi Ge turned off the tablet in front of Pei Yichen: "Stop looking, Yichen!"

  "What's wrong?"

  "What else can you do? With this leg injured, what about the contracted work?"

  Pei Yichen reopened his tablet, seemingly not worried at all: "What else can we do? We'll just have to think of a solution slowly!"

  "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuchs are." Yiguo stood up: "I'll go to the company and discuss it with the manager."

  Pei Yichen's gaze remained on the MV, as if he hadn't heard what Yi Ge said, and was completely immersed in the beautiful memories.

  Mingde, who only stayed at the Ruyi Manor for one night, was bombarded by his agent Shen Shuxian with a barrage of phone calls and returned like a resentful wife.

  "Sister-in-law! I finally get a break, can't you be considerate of me? Was it easy for me to get this vacation? It was earned with ugly rumors." Mingde fell onto the sofa.

  "I know! I apologize! No choice, we have a contract with the company, two ants on a string, whoever dies is not good for the other." Shen Shu-xian put the water next to Ming-de.

  "Thanks! Is there something going on at the company? Must I come back?"

  "If it were someone else's life, I wouldn't have taken it on, but it just so happens to be Pei Yichen's."

  Ming De heard Pei Yichen and almost choked: "What? What does he have to do with me?"

  "Are you from Ruyi Villa?"

  Ming De looked at Shen Shu Xian with a strange expression. He didn't come from the Ruyi Manor, so where did he come from? Did he drop down from the sky?

  "Didn't you know that Pei Yicen broke his leg when he fell off a horse at Ruyi Manor yesterday?"

  Mingde seemed to be thinking of something. He heard Yao say that someone fell off a horse, but he didn't know who it was and didn't ask: "Was the one with the broken leg him? The secrecy work is done well."

  "He has two signed covers and a variety show in his hands. The company wants you to take over..."

  "Sister-in-law? You're letting me take on this kind of job?"

  "It's a bit of a hassle, but it'll be a hundred benefits and no harm to your reputation. Since the company has come to us, we'd better not refuse. This isn't helping Pei Yichen, it's helping the company. Besides, it's just a few hours' work..."

  "Sister-in-law, you know there are many forces at play in this circle. It's not that I don't want to take it on, but if I do, what impact will it have on me? Won't someone just take advantage of the situation again?"

  "How could this be? We're helping the company, and Director Geng personally asked me."

  Shen Shu Xian had just finished speaking when her phone rang.

  Shen Shuxian handed the phone to Mingde, and Mingde answered it. Three minutes later, Mingde hung up the phone: "You've been calculating me for a long time! Sister Xian, whose person are you?"

  "You're the boss, I'm just an employee, of course, I have to listen to you, but... what General Geng says, we still have to listen to some. Mingde! I'm older than you, when General Geng speaks, we can't be too calculating, it's good for you in the future... look at this matter..."

  "How is the cost calculated?"

  Shen Shu-xian was thrilled when Ming De mentioned the price, almost jumping up with excitement. She had always been worried about her own self-will, afraid of offending Ming De, but this time, how come he was so easy to talk to, could it be that they were really in love?

  "It's all yours! The company doesn't take a single cent." Shen Shuxian's face bloomed with joy.

  "Have you checked my schedule?"

  "Don't need me to look, the company has already looked. Firstly, because your schedule fits, secondly, because of your popularity..." Sister Yan slipped up: "Mingde! I know this time it was my own doing, but I did it all for you, please be magnanimous and don't be angry with me!"

  "I don't want to get angry, but what can I do? I finally had two days of freedom, but was called back to the company by someone else's two small notifications. I haven't even asked yet, why did I have to come back today?"

  Mingde, what's gotten into you today, your temper is so good? Shen Shuyan let out a sigh of relief and changed to a smiling face: "Four o'clock this afternoon, cover! I'll come pick you up." After saying that, she quickly ran out of the hall and slipped away.

  Mingde took a beer from the refrigerator and sat back on the sofa: Sometimes, he wondered if he had entered the wrong profession? If it were Mingxin, would she also have such thoughts. Fortunately, he was a man, and in this chaotic circle, he could still hold on.

  The scenery is beautiful on stage, but bitter off stage. Although the money keeps pouring into my pockets, my heart remains empty, so empty that it makes me anxious.

  Sometimes he really envied Yo. Having a fixed work environment, a liked profession, being respected by people, and being devoted to love. Thinking of this, Mingde smiled, maybe not so devoted after all, Yo was acting strange in 'Ruyi' this time, seemingly taking special care of that woman who almost crashed into them.
