Chapter 794

Golden Agent of the Adonis (114)

When they stopped near Chu Xiang, Fang Zhenxuan lightly tightened his grip on Xinxin’s hand and pulled her behind him. His other hand naturally slipped into the pocket of his overcoat, subtly scanning the positions of the people present before fixing his gaze on Chu Xiang, waiting for her to look up.

Chu Xiang’s hand that was holding the cigarette blocked her profile, but then she slowly lowered her hand, turned her face, and lifted her eyelids, revealing her true appearance.

Her gaze met Fang Zhenxuan’s, and both of them showed no change in expression, yet it seemed as if they had already communicated in some way. Fang Zhenxuan’s hand in his pocket subtly moved, as if he could draw his gun at any moment, while Chu Xiang’s free hand on the side raised a finger, as if signaling that once the finger dropped, Fang Zhenxuan would make a move.

All of a sudden, Xinxin happily shouted, “Mom!”

She took off her hat, sunglasses, and golden wig, joyfully exclaiming, “Mom, I finally found you!” and immediately ran towards Chu Xiang.

Fang Zhenxuan’s expression subtly changed. He put back the gun he was about to draw. Chu Xiang shook the finger she had raised, gesturing for her subordinates not to take action. She glanced at Fang Zhenxuan one last time, then focused her gaze on Xinxin, revealing an indulgent smile. She extinguished her cigarette, stood up, and embraced Xinxin as she rushed into her arms.

“Wonderful!” The director suppressed the urge to shout and excitedly said, “Chu Xiang, have you studied acting? Why be a manager? You must become an actress! Being a manager is wasting your talent!”

Chu Xiang tidied Xinxin’s hair smilingly. She replied, “Director, you’re mistaken. I am also an excellent manager.”

The director laughed heartily and said, “Yes, you’re a great manager too. You discovered such a talented prospect like Zhenxuan. No, he’s not just a prospect; he’s better than those who trained professionally.”

The screenwriter covered her chest, staring at Chu Xiang, her expression even a bit dreamy. “Sister Xiang, you are my muse! You have completely portrayed the feeling I wanted, no, even better than I imagined. Especially when you transformed from ruthless and cold-blooded to a warm mother, it was amazing! Absolutely amazing! My inspiration is overflowing now. I can write the outline for the second part tonight! Sister Xiang, become an actress, I beg you!”

The director stood up and paced back and forth, tapping his palms with the rolled-up script in his hand. “The ending should indeed be handled well, serving as both a conclusion and a preview of the second part’s story. No wonder you all wanted to audition together; the cooperation is incredible. There’s no need to cultivate chemistry. That last part, the looks in Chu Xiang and Zhenxuan’s eyes are all acting. It’s fantastic, beyond my expectations!”

The director, screenwriter, and others continued to praise them, while Xia Ze and his manager had unpleasant expressions. The attitude was already clear; they had come here today to make a fool of themselves. Xia Ze looked at Chu Xiang and Xinxin, wondering why Fang Zhenxuan had such good luck. He could even steal resources and gain points from his manager and niece. And how could Fang Zhenxuan’s acting be so good? Wasn’t he studying law?

Xia Ze had already started to consider backing out. Although he really wanted to act in this film, the situation was already settled, and he didn’t need to perform again and become a laughingstock. He stood up, thinking about how to phrase his intention to leave.

But before he could speak, Fang Zhenxuan smiled and said, “Let Senior Xia Ze perform.”

The director suddenly remembered that Xia Ze hadn’t performed yet. He cleared his throat a couple of times, sat back in his seat, and nodded with a smile. “Then let Xia Ze start.”

Chu Xiang, seeing that Xia Ze was about to speak, preempted and said, “Let me help Xia Ze with the scene.”

With the situation reaching this point, it would be too embarrassing for Xia Ze to say he wanted to leave. He was forced into a corner and had no choice but to put on his windbreaker and go on stage.

Chu Xiang continued to act the same, but something felt off when Xia Ze walked with the little girl. His expression and body seemed a bit stiff, but that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was when Chu Xiang looked up and made eye contact with him, Xia Ze’s expression actually changed, and he instinctively let go of the little girl’s hand and took two steps back!

Chu Xiang startled him!It was as if she was truly the boss behind the scenes, and she was about to kill him right then and there!

In the instant he took a step back, Chu Xiang blinked her eyes in surprise and stood up, expressing her concern, “Xia Ze, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Xia Ze looked at her in a state of shock but found nothing unusual about her. In an instant, he felt his face burn. They were acting, yet he had actually been scared by Chu Xiang in the scene, with so many people as witnesses. It was too embarrassing!

Unable to control his expression any longer, Xia Ze awkwardly apologized to the director, “I’m really sorry, I’m feeling a bit unwell today. This role is indeed more suitable for Fang Zhenxuan. I’ll leave now. I hope we can have the opportunity to collaborate in the future.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the director and others, Xia Ze quickly left the hotel with his manager.

The screenwriter looked at Chu Xiang with starry eyes and revealed the truth that everyone had noticed, “Sister Xiang, you’re amazing! You actually pulled Xia Ze into the scene and scared him. You brought this character to life. Even if it’s just a few shots, the audience will definitely remember you! Sister Xiang, how about being the lead in the second installment? In the second part, you, Fang Zhenxuan, and Xinxin will take on the roles. I’ll write a new story of a Case Investigation Adventure abroad, facing bigger bosses, more difficulties, and so on…”
