Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 209 - Obstructing Bai Qingyue (1)

Xiao Rufeng was taken aback by Su Xiaofei's willingness to help her. Most of the new recruits here were competitive and not many were willing to help each other in fear that they would lose their chance to debut, but here Su Xiaofei was, eagerly offering help to her.

Xiao Rufeng didn't know how to feel about it. She was also aware that schemes disguised behind the veil of help were also prevalent in the industry. It was for this reason that she had kept her distance with her fellow recruits.

"A-are you sure?" She asked Su Xiaofei curiously. This newbie was clearly something, as she had easily taken the spotlight on her first day.

"Of course. Since I'm not interested in becoming a star, wouldn't it be better if someone fills my shoes just in case?" Su Xiaofei replied confidently. So long as Xiao Rufeng would be able to defeat Ye Mingyu and Bai Qingyue in the future, then she wouldn't mind investing some time and money on Xiao Rufeng.

However, even before Xiao Rufeng could reply, the class had resumed.

Su Xiaofei remained at the training area and paid attention to how Fan Jian taught. She supposed Bluemedia was lucky to have recruited a great vocal coach like Fan Jian. Although Fan Jian was strict, her way of teaching wasn't complicated and it was easy to understand.

When Wan An came back, it was almost time to end the class. She saw Su Xiaofei bid goodbye to one of the recruits and went towards her.

"I hope I didn't make you wait for too long, Miss Wan." Su Xiaofei said.

"Oh, no." Wan An smiled awkwardly. She should be the one saying that to their boss's daughter instead.

Since Fang Yi was in a meeting earlier, she also had to receive his phone calls for him. She hadn't expected that answering the calls would take so much of her time that she had almost forgotten about Su Xiaofei waiting in the training room.

Li Jing didn't have the chance to catch Su Xiaofei and convince her to sign a contract with them, as she already left the training room with Wan An and her two bodyguards, leaving everyone baffled by her.

Su Xiaofei then met Fang Yi at his office.

"Ah, Xiaofei. You are here. I'm sorry that you had to wait earlier." He sighed, clearly bothered by something.

"It's okay, Uncle. Did something happen?" She asked.

Based on the timeline in her previous life, Su Xiaofei supposed that Bai Qingyue had already received the invitation to audition for the lead role of the "The Poisonous Concubine". However, since she was aware that Bai Qingyue would leave Bluemedia in favor of Golden Star's historical TV drama, Su Xiaofei wondered if she could avoid the loss her mother and the Bluemedia would receive by obstructing Bai Qingyue's way.

The corner of her lips curled up into a devilish smile, stunning not only Fang Yi, but also his secretary.

'Dear Mother, since you specifically made it hard for me in the past. I would gladly return the favor now.'

"It's nothing serious, Feifei." Fang Yi sighed and leaned on his seat.

"Is this about The Poisonous Concubine you and Mama have been working on?" Su Xiaofei asked, eager to know how the project was going.

"Did your mother tell you about it?" Fang Yi seemed surprised that Su Xiaofei was interested in their big project.

Su Xiaofei only shrugged, not willing to say anything that may be used against her. Yun Qingrong hadn't told her anything, so this was why she needed to fish out information from Fang Yi instead.

"We invited Miss Bai Qingyue to take up the lead role for The Poisonous Concubine, but her team was asking for a higher talent fee."

Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow at that. She wasn't really surprised by such demands because Bai Qingyue was already considered a queen, and it was normal for her team to demand more, especially from a lesser known company like Bluemedia.

"Uncle Fang, were they asking too much? Do you really need to have Bai Qingyue for the series to be successful?" She asked.

Fang Yi considered her question, and knew that what she said made sense. However, he wasn't the only person who could decide for the lead role.

"Uncle, why don't you hold a usual audition? I'm pretty sure you would be able to find a capable actress who could portray the role without breaking the bank." Su Xiaofei suggested.

"That's also what I think, Xiaofei."

Hearing her suggestion strengthened Fang Yi's resolve to raise this suggestion in their next meeting. He really thought that Bai Qingyue's team was asking too much. While it's true that this was a major TV series project for Bluemedia, they were making unreasonable demands.

"Don't worry, Uncle. Everything would be fine. I'm sure that you would be able to find a decent actress who fits the role." Su Xiaofei reassured him.

Bai Qingyue should lose the lead role to another person in order for Bluemedia to avoid losses because of her. As for the actress that could replace Bai Qingyue, Su Xiaofei already had a person in mind. She just needed to find that person's whereabouts.

"Now that the male lead role is taken, we just need to fill the title role and the second male lead before the preparation for the shoot could start." Fang Yi commented as he looked at the list on top of his desk.

"The second male lead role is still open?" Su Xiaofei asked in surprise. Qin Muyao should have taken the role. Did something change again? Why was Qin Muyao facing the scandal a year earlier from the original timeline?

"Qin Muyao has auditioned for the role and actually chosen it, but the recent scandal against him has thrown everything and his career in peril. His management has recently forfeited his contract. It's a pity that the industry would lose a talented person like him."
