Chapter 279 Every human being has weaknesses.
The Communication University was in an uproar.
The female lead chosen for "The Commander's Wife" is another newcomer, and she's from their school.
"What's going on in their dorm? They seem to get all the good things!"
"This is a collaboration with Tang Xiaoge! I'd be happy to play even a maid, let alone the lead role!"
"Why don't we go ask one of the students in Class A and see what's going on in their dorms?"
"If they really had any unorthodox methods, how could they possibly let outsiders like us know about them? They're just things that can't be brought to light."
There were all sorts of opinions. The female students were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, while the boys were relatively calm. They just didn't recognize the name Wenna and didn't remember that there was such a person in their class.
It wasn't until someone pointed out that Wenna had brought several maids into the dormitory on the day she reported for school that people suddenly realized what had happened.
It turned out to be that ordinary woman, with average looks, at most only considered pretty.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the capital, far away in Xingji Entertainment Company, in Tang Xiaoge's studio, Tang Xiaoge's face was extremely dark. Seeing the instigator cowering in the corner of his desk, he could no longer contain his temper and started cursing.
"You even got the casting announcement wrong? Are you kidding me?"
"What's in your head, grass? You spend all your salary on feeding your brain grass in the wild, don't you?"
"I've lived this long and I've never seen such an idiot as you!"
"Brother Xiao, I'm so sorry!"
"Does saying sorry do any good? This is our official Weibo account. Now tell me, how are we going to clean this up? Huh?"
As Tang Xiaoge spoke, she forcefully threw the magazine in her hand, which hit the instigator on the head.
The person involved didn't dare to say a word, keeping their head down and enduring the beatings and scoldings.
"Brother Xiao, don't let an idiot upset your health." A woman's voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone in the studio turned to look at the door, where Ning Duoduo, with her long, wavy hair, walked in on high heels, a calm and gentle smile on her face.
"Why are you here?" Tang Xiaoge raised an eyebrow and asked when he saw Ning Duoduo. His expression returned to normal, as if he wasn't the one who had just lost his temper. His change of expression was extremely fast, catching people off guard.
Tang Xiaoge rarely loses his temper in front of outsiders. Maintaining his gentle imperial physician persona is one aspect, but more importantly, it's because the people around Tang Xiaoge are all screened by his personal agent, so they generally don't encounter fools who would anger Tang Xiaoge.
This is no accident. It's inevitable that the person in charge of operating the official Weibo account under him will be fired. As for whether he will be unable to continue working in the industry, that depends entirely on Tang Xiaoge's mood.
“I have a way to help you solve this. Let’s talk in the meeting room inside?” Ning Duoduo gestured with her lips, indicating that Tang Xiaoge should follow her into the room.
Tang Xiaoge scratched her hair in frustration, strode into the meeting room, and threw out a remark.
"Keep an eye on him, don't let him get away. I'll notify HR once I've figured out how to handle it."
"Okay, Brother Xiao." Tang Xiaoge's assistant breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the closed conference room door, and quickly looked away.
He had to get busy and gather all the information about the incident in the shortest possible time, leaving no stone unturned.
……
Ning Yao and her two roommates were having dinner in the teachers' apartment when the news of the casting call suddenly made headlines, with a "hot" icon next to the title, clearly demonstrating the level of attention netizens were paying to the casting.
Cui Mengmeng took a fork of fresh and tender salmon sashimi and exclaimed as she ate, "It's actually Wenna! Am I still half asleep? Someone slap me to wake me up!"
Ning Yao slowly put down her knife and fork. As soon as she raised her hand, Cui Mengmeng was so startled that she picked up her plate and hid to the side.
But Ning Yao wasn't going to hit her; she just raised her hand and brushed a strand of hair from the side of her face.
"You can just smooth your hair, but that tense face scared me to death. I thought you were going to hit me." Cui Mengmeng returned to her seat.
"Why would I hit you? Do I look fierce?" Ning Yao blinked innocently, propping up her delicate chin as she looked like a pure and innocent young girl. When it came to bewitching people, Ning Yao was no slouch.
"Let's get down to business. Tell me, how did Wenna get chosen? Even Ning Duoduo didn't get the lead role, but she did."
"If she gets the part, she gets it. If it wasn't her, another actress would have taken it." Xin Yujue was very open-minded; she knew she wouldn't be chosen.
In contrast, Luo Xiyao showed no surprise at the casting results, acting as if it were none of her business.
It seems she didn't take the casting process seriously at all.
Ning Yao picked up a glass of juice, lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and looked thoughtfully at her phone.
Even if the female lead isn't Ning Duoduo, it definitely won't be Wen Na. There were plenty of actresses who were more outstanding and suitable than Wen Na at the audition.
Wenna must have gotten this role by pulling strings behind the scenes.
As for who she was looking for, Ning Yao didn't want to think about it. She frowned, gritted her teeth, shook her head, and was extremely reluctant to think about it any further.
The man's name had already popped into her mind; even if Ning Yao didn't want it, he still occupied her thoughts.
"You guys eat, I'm full. I'm going inside to rest for a bit." Ning Yao put down her knife and fork, got up, and walked into the bedroom.
Thinking about who was leaning against Wenna, I suddenly felt that even the dishes made by Michelin three-star chefs were tasteless.
The relationship between the four roommates has deteriorated since they returned from the set of "Palm of My Hand," but Wenna doesn't seem to care.
She never intended to go back to China to attend university or make friends; she just wanted to see what kind of woman Wen Tingye liked.
Then she saw her and realized that the other person was indeed beautiful and had a great figure...
What Wenna was even less willing to admit was that Ning Yao even had a good personality.
It's very comfortable to be around her; you don't find her annoying at all.
She is also quick-witted and intelligent; she can be described as a top-notch girl.
The only drawback is probably her unfortunate background.
But Wen Tingye is clearly not a man who cares about his family background.
If he truly falls in love with someone, he won't care about anything else.
Wenna sat alone on her bed in the dormitory, the corners of her lips slightly upturned, her smile sending chills down one's spine.
So what if you have no flaws and are likable?
Humans have weaknesses, don't they?
Just then, her phone vibrated, interrupting Wenna's thoughts, and a look of impatience crossed her face.
Upon hearing the caller urging for payment, Wenna adopted an arrogant tone and spoke in a manner begging for alms: "Didn't you check your account before calling? The payment has already been transferred to you. Don't bother me again!"
The call ended quickly, and Wenna promptly blocked the other party's phone number.
She bribed the operations staff at Tang Xiaoge's studio; she was the one who tampered with the character error report.
The official media reported the wrong identity of the female lead, which is a fatal mistake. They either have to accept the error or find a way to resolve it.
However, no solution is as good as making the best of a bad situation.
This kind of low-IQ mistake will inevitably become a laughing stock in the industry, especially for someone like Tang Xiaoge who cares a lot about his image.
Tang Xiaoge's studio contacted Wen Na at 3 PM to arrange a meeting, and Wen Na went there immediately after class.
"Ms. Wen, this is what happened. Our company's operations staff made a mistake and accidentally sent out your information."
"Brother Xiao hopes you can make a public statement and voluntarily withdraw from the production team. After all, this was originally a misunderstanding, right?"
The staff explained the whole process to Wenna in a friendly manner, and then arranged for someone to serve her tea, water, and desserts.
Wenna didn't touch any of the tea or desserts. She suddenly stood up from the sofa, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Misunderstanding? You mean I wasn't selected because of your mistake, which led to that official Weibo post?"
