The Insignifcant Female Supporting Character Actually Became a Bigshot in the Novel! - Chapter 75

75 Guest on the Variety Show

After the system reviewed Xi Wan’s previous experience, it sighed and said: [I really don’t know what kind of expression the female protagonist will have after she finds out about this.]

Xi Wan looked at the ceiling and said, “I don’t care what expression is but everything I’m doing is for my own sake.”

After Jiang Ran got the director’s contact information, she contacted him immediately. Although the director had some opinions about Jiang Ran because of the previous incident, he could not say anything since it was Xi Wan who had suggested Jiang Ran to him. So, he simply asked Jiang Ran to shoot the promotional video for the variety show the next day.

As Xi Wan was the biggest investor, the director naturally invited her to come over.

!!
The reason why Xi Wan agreed to come over was that she was too idle in the villa and wanted to find something to do. However, if she would have known that she would see Xiao Zhe here, she would have definitely rejected the director’s request.

“What is Xiao Zhe doing here? Is he also an investor?” Xi Wan was wearing a pair of sunglasses and grumbled to the system, “Does the second male protagonist have so many scenes? Why do I see him everywhere I go?”

The system was also very helpless. [You already said that he’s the second male protagonist so how can he not have a lot of scenes?]

“But it can’t be that he’ll appear wherever I go, right?” The more Xi Wan thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. “Do you think that there’s a conflict between Zhao Fei and Ling Feng? Xiao Zhe thinks that I’m the main culprit so that’s why he has been watching me, trying to find an opportunity to make things difficult for me?”

The system was silent for a long time before it said: [Xi Wan, you really have a pretty rich imagination.]

Xi Wan wanted to say something but Xiao Zhe had already seen her. He walked over and greeted her, “Miss Xi, I didn’t expect to see you again.”

Xi Wan pretended not to see him and turned to leave. She did not want to continue having anything to do with Xiao Zhe.

Xiao Zhe was dumbfounded.

After all the guests had arrived, the director arranged for them to shoot the promotional video. Xiao Zhe did not sit with Xi Wan at the investor’s seat. Instead, he went to shoot the promotional video together. It was only then that Xi Wan found out that Xiao Zhe was also a guest on this variety show.

At the same time, there was also a guest named Wu Xuan, who was an artiste from Xiao Zhe’s company. She was pretty well-known in the entertainment industry because of her sweet appearance and the fact that she could speak very well.

Xi Wan approached the director and asked, “Can I come over and watch while you’re recording the variety show?”

Although the director did not know why Xi Wan was doing this, as long as it did not delay the filming, there wouldn’t be too much of a problem. Hence, he said, “Of course, Miss Xi. You’re the biggest investor in our show. How could we dare to reject your request?”

The director’s words were a little strange but Xi Wan did not care. The reason why she made such a request was because she did not believe that Jiang Ran could really control her temper. That was why she needed to keep an eye on Jiang Ran at all times and stop her from doing anything overboard.

After they were done shooting the promotional video, they went back to their own places. As Jiang Ran was lacking a manager, she went to Xi Wan and asked, “Don’t I have a manager?”

Xi Wan adjusted her sunglasses. “Don’t be anxious. You will have everything you need.”

Jiang Ran heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she turned around and was about to leave, Wu Xuan walked over and said, “Oh, isn’t this Jiang Ran who had been scolded and was forced to retire from the entertainment industry earlier? Why are you here today to shoot the promotional video?”

“I’m a guest on this variety show, so why can’t I be here?” Jiang Ran retorted.

Wu Xuan laughed and said, “Don’t you know what kind of reputation you have in the entertainment industry? You’ll only pull the viewership ratings down if you come here to record a variety show. I really don’t know what the director is thinking when he asked you to come over to film the variety show.”

The more she spoke, the more disgusted she felt, as if Jiang Ran was a dirty thing that was stuck to her body.

Jiang Ran was about to throw a tantrum but she suddenly remembered that she had promised Xi Wan that she would restrain herself. So, she could only swallow her anger.

However, Xi Wan would not let Wu Xuan get off with such bad attitude just like that. “Wu Xuan, Jiang Ran is the only artiste in my company now so it can be said that she represents me. You have to pay attention to your attitude when you speak to her. If your attitude is bad, it means that you’re not showing me a good attitude either.”

Wu Xuan then turned her gaze to Xi Wan and said, “Aren’t you Xi Wan who left the entertainment industry in a high-profile manner? What did you mean by what you said just now? You also registered an entertainment company and even signed Jiang Ran as your artiste? Your company won’t be able to continue developing then. You should close it down as soon as possible.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.” Xi Wan snorted coldly, “An 18th-tier celebrity with a pair of slippers stuck in her throat.”
