The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant Novel - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: 081: I’m the third female lead?

She initially thought that Jing Qian was someone influential when she heard that Zhongbo was prepared to give her the role of the first female lead in the new drama ‘Mirror World’, which was why she was so unhappy and jealous of her. However, Sister Dan had already looked into it just now and found out that she was only the third female lead.

Getting the third female lead in a drama as a newcomer was considered eye catching, but it was much better than the rumoured first female lead.

Plus, Sister Dan had even called her father and enquired about Jing Qian’s identity, but even Mei Changdan, who was the Vice Director of the Artist Department, had no idea who she was. Therefore, Sister Dan just assumed that this was all because Jing Qian had a ‘sugar-daddy’. The ‘sugar-daddy’ must be friends with one of the executive personnel in the company, which was how she got the role.

Therefore, her job now was to compliment Jing Qian and put her on higher grounds. The higher the position she was placed in, the harder she would fall.

Soon, the meeting started and He Kaiwei, the Vice Director of the Operating Department, started talking about the arrangements that the company had made for each artist present.

‘The Queen of the General’ starred by Mei Ruodan and ‘Mirror World’ starred by Jing Qian would be mentioned together, as Zhongbo Entertainment was the largest investor in both these projects.

After briefing about ‘The Queen of the General’, Director He reminded Jing Qian, “Jing Qian, third female lead of ‘Mirror World’. Come over to my office after this and sign the agreement to confirm the cast. You may be the third female lead, but you have quite a number of scenes to prepare. You haven’t taken many roles before this, so if there’s any problems during the shoot…”

“Wait a minute.”

Director He wasn’t done when Jing Qian’s charming voice with her unique drawl echoed in the conference room.

Director He hadn’t expected Jing Qian to rudely interrupt him. While he was still in a trance from being interrupted, Jing Qian spoke up once again. “You’re saying that I’m the third female lead?”

Although he was already informed by his senior that he should be nicer to her, Jing Qian’s behaviour towards him had triggered him.

“Don’t you know the role you’ll be playing?”

Director He’s rhetorical question humored most of them in the room. They couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh.

As for those that were calmer, they just raised their brows.

In conclusion, everyone in the room had a mutual understanding of the new artist in the room.

Beautiful, stupid, with low EQ.

Oh… and one more: arrogant.

As a newcomer, being the third female lead in a star drama that was heavily invested in by the company was already a win, but she looked as if her talents were about to be wasted with such a small role. Everyone in the room was indeed surprised by her courage.

However, Jing Qian wasn’t afraid of Director He, who was trying to embarrass her. Instead, she continued, “Obviously, I know my role and I know that I’m not playing the third female lead. Therefore, Mr. Director, if you can’t get these simple things right, it’s better for you to ask around about what is happening before coming to the meeting. Please do not waste my time.”

At this point, the crowd no longer thought that Jing Qian was arrogant.

This woman was insane!

Yang Yinli hated how Jing Qian was still acting as if she were the queen when she was just a nobody. She could no longer hold it in, and just as she was about to open her mouth, she got a stare from Mei Ruodan and immediately decided to shut up.

She did not understand. This new girl was just someone who had a ‘sugar-daddy’, so why should they be afraid of her?

However, Mei Ruodan had already warned her and she just promised Sister Dan that she would work for her as her person. Therefore, Yang Yinli, who was burning with rage, had no other choice but to suppress the burning flame in her heart.

“Hmph! I’ve seen arrogant artists, but I’ve never seen one that is as arrogant as you are! Your manager is right behind you and she should know about this better than anyone else,” Director He mocked.
