145: fraud

While they were eating, Ju Xuesong held the script in his hand. "This drama of yours is quite good. It looks like the romance of the three kingdoms type."

"You want me to play Ying Quliang?"

Ye Bai: "You figured it out, haha, that's right."

Ju Xuesong nodded slightly. His expression, unlike his initial aloofness, now seemed very satisfied. "I've seen your animated film. If you can produce animation of that caliber, then this script shouldn't be bad either."

"That's why I asked you to come. I haven't acted in a long time; those other scripts were too poor."

He sighed softly. "If it weren't for you, I might not even have bothered to look at these scripts."

It was clear that the current dramas greatly disappointed him.

Ye Bai smiled. "When I was conceiving this script, I felt that only you could play Duke Xiao of Qin, so I called you immediately after finishing it."

"Oh?" Ju Xuesong burst out laughing. "Good, good!"

"Don't worry, I'll take this role. Have you found the other actors? When do you plan to start shooting?"

Ye Bai pursed his lips. "The actors haven't been finalized yet. Do you have any recommendations?"

Ju Xuesong held a considerable position in the entertainment industry. Ye Bai chose to approach him first, thinking that once he was secured, finding other actors would be more convenient.

Most actors also consider the script and their co-stars.

If they heard that Ju Xuesong was going to star, it would certainly indicate that the drama was good.

Conversely, if they were to cast an actor with a bad reputation, others would likely be unwilling to participate.

Not to mention, Ju Xuesong had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so he definitely had his own network.

It would be better to ask him for introductions than for Ye Bai to go through all that trouble himself.

Perhaps they could even save a bit on acting fees.

Ju Xuesong pondered for a moment. "If there are suitable people, I'll recommend them to you."

"But I'll need to finish reading the script first."

Ye Bai was satisfied with that promise. He briefly discussed the drama with Ju Xuesong.

Then, he had a good sleep in the guest room.

Ju Xuesong said he still needed to study the script further and told him to go back first, promising to contact him once he finished reading it.

Ye Bai nodded in agreement, bought a ticket, and headed to the airport.

While waiting for his flight, Ye Bai's eyes caught sight of someone—a girl with large eyes and a curvaceous figure.

Of course, he wasn't having lustful thoughts.

He simply thought she looked a lot like Ning Jing.

Ye Bai stared at her for a while, and the girl looked back. "Are you looking at me?"

Her voice carried a strong regional accent, and she clutched her backpack tightly, appearing somewhat nervous and wary.

Ye Bai gave her a 'I'm a good person' smile. "Yes, you're pretty."

The girl chuckled at his words, and her smile made her look even more similar.

"Even if I'm pretty, you shouldn't stare like that."

Ye Bai said, "Are you on the same flight as me? Are you also going to Zhonggui City?"

The girl nodded. "To find my sister."

Ye Bai saw that her lips were quite dry, so he got up to buy a bottle of water and handed it to her. "Have some water. I just bought it. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."

The girl took the water and said thank you. "What's your name?"

"Ye Bai."

"Oh, I'm Jiang Nan."

"Your name sounds familiar," Jiang Nan thought for a moment. "I remember now, Ye Bai!"

Ye Bai: ... After Jiang Nan finished speaking, she realized it was a bit awkward and quickly added, "I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you."

"Your name is exactly the same as the Producer who made the journey to the west animation."

Ye Bai: "That's me."

Jiang Nan was stunned. "Huh?"

"I'm so sorry, so sorry."

Ye Bai smiled. "It's fine. I think you're very pretty. Are you interested in acting?"

Jiang Nan was a little embarrassed. "I haven't thought about it."

She was just a recent college graduate, and because it was hard to find a job in her hometown, she decided to go to her sister.

Ye Bai looked into her eyes. "If you're interested, you can give it a try."

Jiang Nan: "Can I really do it?"

Ye Bai nodded. "If you're willing, I can introduce you to an agency."

She seemed a bit hesitant, but Ye Bai didn't press her.

He gave Jiang Nan his contact information, and after returning to Zhonggui City, he went back to his dorm.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Jiang Nan, carrying large and small bags of luggage, finally met her sister.

"You're saying you met Ye Bai on the road, and he said you're very suitable for acting and wants to introduce you to an agency?"

Her sister, Jiang Bei, looked suspicious. "You didn't run into a swindler, did you?"

Jiang Nan: "But I don't think he's a swindler. He even bought me water."

Jiang Bei, driving the car, said earnestly, "You're just too young. How could Ye Bai be a young man? You said he looks like a college student, so that's even more impossible."

"It must have been a swindler."

"He left you his phone number?"

Jiang Nan nodded.

Jiang Bei: "Alright, we'll call him later and see what he's trying to scam."

Upon arriving at Jiang Bei's place, Jiang Nan called Ye Bai, and the call was quickly answered.

"Hello, are you really Ye Bai?"

Ye Bai: "Of course."

Jiang Bei said from the side, "You say you're Ye Bai, what's your proof?"

It was the first time Ye Bai had encountered a situation where he needed to prove his own identity.

He was silent for a moment. "If you're interested in entering the entertainment industry, go to Spark Entertainment Company tomorrow and say I recommended you."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Nan and Jiang Bei looked at each other.

"Sister, Spark Entertainment Company... isn't that Zhong Yan's entertainment company?"

Jiang Bei nodded stiffly. "It is."

"Forget it, let's go check it out tomorrow," she glanced at her younger sister, who indeed looked young and beautiful.

And this Ye Bai hung up after speaking, telling them to go to Spark Entertainment Company themselves.

If he were a swindler, he'd be after money, not directly telling them to go to the company, right?

Such a large company wouldn't defraud people.

The next day.

Jiang Nan, led by Jiang Bei, arrived at Spark Entertainment Company. It had to be said, this company was truly massive.

The two were stopped at the entrance, and Jiang Bei quickly spoke up, "Ye Bai sent us."

Her thinking was that if the person was deceiving them, they would at most be embarrassed.

But if that person really was Ye Bai, then wouldn't her sister strike it rich!

Soon, the two were let in.

A woman wearing towering heels walked over. "You must be Jiang Nan. Follow me."

Jiang Nan felt her heart pounding uncontrollably; this was Spark Entertainment Company!

She had actually gotten in!

And all because she took a flight and met someone named Ye Bai!
