This time, not only Shi Wenfei, but the others who heard it were also shocked.

“Back then, Ji Wenfeng’s retirement from the industry was a big deal. This time, he’s actually brought a newcomer back? Who is this newcomer?”

“To be able to make Ji Wenfeng make a comeback, she must be of excellent material. She might even be more talented than Movie Queen Wen back then.”

Everyone stayed where they were, wanting to see which newcomer was so lucky to be chosen by Ji Wenfeng.

Shi Wenfei didn’t bother to touch up her makeup as she was also curious.

“This way, Brother Feng.”

As the staff spoke, Ji Wenfeng, who was wearing sunglasses, appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the person behind him. They all wanted to see who the favored one was.

However, that person was walking right behind Ji Wenfeng and thus, was blocked by his figure. One could only see a red skirt and dazzling fair skin.

“Director Guo,” Ji Wenfeng greeted him. The two of them hugged in a friendly manner.

Only at this time was everyone able to see the person behind Ji Wenfeng.

“Hiss—”

Everyone immediately gasped in amazement.

Shi Wenfei’s face stiffened. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

Shi Ran?!

How could it be Shi Ran?!

She stared at Shi Ran’s face with jealousy and hatred, wishing she could go up and scratch that face.

“She… She’s so beautiful!” Someone was so stunned that she could not help but gasp out loud.

“It’s hard not to blush, isn’t it? She has such a good figure and her skin is so fair too!”

“My God, so beautiful! She is way too beautiful.”

“Friend, watch your saliva.”

Ji Wenfeng exchanged a few pleasantries with Director Guo and then brought Shi Ran to his side. “This is my artiste. How is it? I didn’t disappoint you, did I?”

Director Guo scanned Shi Ran up and down, not hiding the surprise in his eyes.

“The other characters in The Chained Palace have basically been set. I’ve been hesitant about the role of the Princess of the Western Regions because I didn’t have a general image in my mind.”

“But now that I’ve seen your artiste, the image of the Princess of the Western Regions is instantly clear. Yes! Amazing!”

Director Guo was full of praise.

Anyone could see that Director Guo was satisfied.

“What’s your artiste’s name?” Director Guo asked belatedly.

“Shi Ran.”

Shi Ran?!!!

Everyone was shocked.

The name was not unfamiliar to them.

At that time, the recording incident on the Internet had caused an uproar. Everyone knew about the plastic sisters, Shi Ran and Shi Wenfei.

But because Shi Wenfei was more famous, everyone paid more attention to her.

As for Shi Ran, there was no news after that.

Unexpectedly, after only half a month, Shi Ran appeared again as Ji Wenfeng’s artiste!

“Sister, I haven’t seen you since you terminated your contract with Tianxin. I didn’t expect you to go to Star City. I’m still very happy for you.”

Shi Wenfei was still wearing her costume. Her role for the drama was a kind and innocent young lady. Now that she smiled, she looked even more innocent and beautiful.

In contrast, Shi Ran gave Shi Wenfei a neutral glance. There was no extra expression.

This scene however was easily misunderstood in the eyes of others.

“Wen Fei is already so friendly. Look at Shi Ran’s face. Who is she showing it too?”

“Looks like the analysis post on the Internet was right. Wenfei was set up!”

“It’s obvious when you think about it. A biological daughter suddenly appeared, causing her rich life and love to be snatched away. It would be strange if she didn’t target Wenfei. Besides, Wenfei is so innocent.”

These words entered Shi Wenfei’s ears, making her feel even more carefree.

However, when she saw Ji Wenfeng beside Shi Ran, she was so jealous that she was about to go crazy.

What kind of dogshit luck did Shi Ran have to actually catch Ji Wenfeng’s eye!

“You brat, I was worried that you had really withdrawn completely. Fortunately, you came back and even brought me such a big surprise.” Director Guo punched Ji Wenfeng in the chest.

Ji Wenfeng smiled back.

Shi Wenfei looked at Ji Wenfeng and suddenly remembered something.

She smiled warmly at Shi Ran. “Sister, I’m really happy that you can work with Agent Ji! When you terminated the contract, I really thought you were going to leave the industry.”

“That’s right. Feifei knew that you wanted to terminate the contract and was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to pay the termination fee. She even wanted to give you the money she had saved. Fortunately, the termination fee only cost one yuan in the end,” Shi Wenfei’s manager added.

“One yuan?” someone wondered out loud.

“I was also very surprised at that time. Later, I heard that it was because the lawyer who came was from the KT Group. CEO Zhou also wanted to fulfill his wish, so he agreed.” The manager said as if it was true.

“KT Group? Aren’t KT Group lawyers exclusively for KT? How does Shi Ran know KT Group lawyers?”

“Didn’t you notice a problem? How did Ji Wenfeng take a fancy to Shi Ran’s lousy acting skills and bad reputation?”

“I remember that Ji Wenfeng used to be an employee of KT Group. Later on, Third Young Master transferred him to be Movie Queen Wen’s manager. Could it be that Third Young Master also invited him this time?”

“Are you crazy? Are you trying to say that Third Young Master is the sugar daddy behind Shi Ran? How can Shi Ran compare to Movie Queen Wen? Why would he abandon such a beautiful and outstanding fiancée for Shi Ran?”

“You’re right. So what’s with the KT Group lawyer?”

“Who knows, she might have hooked up with one of KT’s higher-ups. Zhou Yufan is really a cuckold.”

The people around them discussed among themselves, and those words reached the ears of the people involved.

Shi Ran did not react.

Gossip didn’t bother her.

However, Ji Wenfeng’s face darkened. He looked at Shi Wenfei’s manager. “If you want to say that we have a sugar daddy, just say it. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”

The manager did not expect Ji Wenfeng to bring up the topic and was immediately embarrassed.

“Don’t you know how Tianxin treated Shi Ran? I can’t bear to see her being ruined like this, so I begged CEO Qiu. Is there a problem?”

Ji Wenfeng’s words were quite provocative. He directly told the other party why Shi Ran could hire a lawyer from KT Group.

After all, everyone knew that CEO Qiu of Star City and Third Young Master Chu were friends and had always been very close.

“Ahem.” Director Guo coughed a few times. “Okay, okay. The next scene is about to start. Get ready.”

After the crowd dispersed, Director Guo looked at Ji Wenfeng and teased, “Your personality hasn’t changed. Back then, you suffered a lot because of your personality. Have you forgotten?”

“I can’t help it. It’s an old habit,” Ji Wenfeng said, throwing up his hands.

“Aren’t you afraid of scaring your artiste?” Guo laughed.

“No.” Ji Wenfeng said with absolute certainty.

‘Would someone who could break a man’s limbs with her bare hands be scared off by him so easily?’

‘What a joke!’

After that, Ji Wenfeng brought Shi Ran to watch the filming.

“The acting is mostly good, just a little fake when it comes to the acting kind and innocent part.” Ji Wenfeng curled his lips and said mockingly.

Shi Ran looked at him and smiled back.

… .

The next morning, Ji Wenfeng brought Shi Ran to the set.

As her scenes weren’t that many, she could wrap them up that day.

Because there was a dance scene, Shi Ran followed the dance teacher to learn dance after she arrived.

In the afternoon, they were preparing for Shi Ran’s scenes and the set was already being set up.

Director Guo sat on a wooden stool, his expression grave.

Previously, Ji Wenfeng had never told him who the artiste was. He only said that she was compatible with the role of the Princess of the Western Region. Out of trust, he gave the role to Shi Ran without thinking.

However, when he checked Shi Ran’s past acting videos last night, he realized that her acting skills were really unsightly. What was the use of such acting skills even if she had such a face?

“Director Guo.” A voice interrupted Director Guo’s thoughts. He looked up and saw that it was the male lead of the show, Zhu Lei.

Zhu Lei was a middle-aged actor. He was handsome and had outstanding acting skills.

“What is it?” Guo asked.

“I heard that the Princess of the Western Regions is going to be played by Shi Ran?”

“Right.” Guo nodded.

“I’ve read about her. Her acting skills… I hope Director Guo will reconsider. It’s not hard to find actresses who are beautiful and skilled in the entertainment industry. I don’t think Shi Ran can handle the role.”
