Chapter 4 : My Beautiful Partner

• Just a few days later, Su Qingqing was brushed off from the position of the female lead and became the fifth female character, while Su Yi, the fifth female character, became the female lead.
• Su Yi was talking to Cen Nian on the phone about this matter when she noticed Gu Chenxi, dressed in a robe, running towards them from Group A.
• "Su beauty, are you thirsty? Let me bring you some water. Drink up, it's pure natural, organic mineral water, just flown in from overseas, very fresh hehe..."
• Gu Chenxi had rosy lips and white teeth, with a handsome appearance. He looked like a popular young idol. However, Su Yi wasn't interested in him.
• She lifted her transparent glass and said, "Thank you, but I only drink plain water!"
• Gu Chenxi wasn't discouraged and handed the bottle of supposedly worth ten thousand yuan mineral water to Su Yi. "Plain water is good, but you should also try other types of water. Life is short, how can you hang yourself on just one type of water?"
• Su Yi was momentarily stunned, as if her heart had been struck. But within a few seconds, she returned to normal and was about to respond to Gu Chenxi's wise words when his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and said to Su Yi with a smile, "My uncle is looking for me. You go ahead and do your thing. Let's have dinner together tonight!" After saying that, he ran back with his constantly ringing phone.
• Li Shengjue frowned as he looked at his phone that was still unanswered. He was considering whether to contact the director directly and have him suppress the "rebellious child." Suddenly, a figure flashed behind him, and Gu Chenxi jumped in front of Li Shengjue like a flea. "Uncle Li!"
• Li Shengjue rubbed his forehead. He was seven years older than Gu Chenxi, but their behavior and way of handling things were like two different worlds. One was too rigid, while the other was too lively. They seemed like people from different centuries.
• "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
• "I was discussing the script with my partner. Look, it's her... Isn't she beautiful? I've never seen a woman so beautiful. I'm pursuing her. Uncle Li, give me some advice on how to win her over quickly... Uncle Li, Uncle Li, did you hear me?"
• Li Shengjue looked at a distant figure, a red shadow against the dark night, thick and terrifying. He hated it when women entered the entertainment industry, and she was directly challenging him.
• Fine, great.
• Gu Chenxi timidly took two steps back. "Uncle Li..."
• "If you're here to film, then focus on that. Don't waste your time on useless things!"
• Li Shengjue softened his tone. "Your father asked me to tell you that your bank card has been frozen. If you don't want to suffer, go home early!"
• Gu Chenxi pouted and muttered, "That's your only move, hmph, I'm not going back!"
• Li Shengjue glanced at him. "Whether you go back or not is up to you. I'm just passing on the message. Alright, you can go now!"
• Gu Chenxi took a few steps and then turned back. "Oh, by the way, our family has issued a global missing person notice. It won't be long before we find my aunt. Your lifelong matter will be settled soon!"
• He mentioned this to please Li Shengjue and make him happy. After all, being single for so many years wasn't easy. However, Li Shengjue didn't show any signs of happiness. Instead, his brows furrowed, and the dark cloud surrounding him grew thicker.
• This kind of Li Shengjue made Gu Chenxi feel unfamiliar and fearful. He muttered softly and didn't dare to linger, walking away while constantly looking back.
• In Group B's studio, the director slammed the script in his hand and shouted angrily, "Su Yi, don't think that you can get the female lead position through the back door. Here, everything is based on actual performance. If you can't act well, even the king of heaven himself can get lost!"
• An assistant poked his head out from behind the camera and whispered, "Director, I think she's doing fine. She's much better than Su Qingqing!"
• "Fine? Is this her true acting ability? Has she reached her highest level? Clearly, she can do better. Why isn't she giving it her all?"
• The assistant looked up and met Su Yi's gaze. Su Yi shook her head at him and said to the director, "I'll think about it some more."
• Since Su Yi was replaced as the female lead, the director had been nitpicking and finding faults everywhere. Su Yi could understand his mentality. As one of the main figures on set, it was disrespectful to not consult him and directly make such a big decision to change the female lead.
• She returned to the temporary dressing room with the script in a sullen mood. As she picked up her water cup to drink and moisten her throat, the wooden door of the dressing room suddenly swung open, and a tall figure rushed in, pressing her against the wall by her neck.
• "Who allowed you to come back?!" His voice was filled with anger, and the temperature dropped.
• Su Yi choked on the water, unable to cough it out. Her voice became hoarse as she struggled, "Li... Shengjue, let go... of me!"
• Li Shengjue transformed into a cold-faced king of hell, his fingers tightening little by little. His thin lips pursed, and his eyes turned icy. Blue veins appeared on Su Yi's delicate neck, and her face grew paler due to lack of oxygen.
• "Li... let go of me!"
• Su Yi exerted all her strength and splashed the water from her cup onto Li Shengjue. He loosened his grip, and she took the opportunity to escape from his clutches.
• "You didn't recognize me before, but now you do?!"
• Her back was against the cold pillar as she adjusted her breathing. "I'm here to repay you, to pay back what I owe you!"
