CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

"So, you are going to work with Director Xu An?"

Yu Bei put down the coffee in her hand and moved closer to Xie Zhuxin, her eyes sparkling.

Today is Saturday.

Yu Bei, whose career has finally gotten on track and who recently started to have regular weekends off, couldn't wait to make an appointment with Xie Zhuxin, who also rarely has free time, to enjoy a long-lost afternoon tea time.

It was a gathering of good sisters, and Xie Zhuxin had just unexpectedly won the Best Actress award, so naturally she couldn't help but inquire about the inside story of how she won the award.

Before she knew it, Xie Zhuxin had been tricked into revealing that she had had supper with Director Xu An a few days ago.

As a true fan of Xu An's works since college, Yu Bei has always been following her updates.

At this moment, his eyes rolled and he remembered many things.

"I remember there was news a while ago that Director Xu was going to remake Eileen Chang's The First Incense? Are you going to play Ge Weilong?! Oh my god, this is my favorite Eileen Chang movie! Xie Zhuxin, you've really made it..."

Yu Bei couldn't help but look excited and pulled Xie Zhuxin's arm and shook it hard.

"Alright, alright, Xiaobei, calm down! Just listen to me first--"

Seeing her good friend's excited face, Xie Zhuxin couldn't help but feel a little amused and quickly poured a basin of cold water on him to cool him down.

"I know you have always loved Xu An, and you love Eileen Chang very much. But don't worry, it's still a long way for me to cooperate with Xu An~ We have just met alone, had a midnight snack, and chatted for a while..."

"So what did you talk about? Did you talk about "The First Incense"? "

Yu Bei asked anxiously.

Xie Zhuxin smiled and shook her head, her thoughts flying back to that night a few days ago.

When I was tired after a day's work, I tried to cheer myself up, put aside all distractions, and walked into the private restaurant we had an appointment at.

She really didn't expect that the person she met was not the big director with a critical look in her imagination, but a cheerful aunt next door.

When Xie Zhuxin walked in, Xu An was sitting in front of a bowl of beef brisket noodles, eating with relish.

Seeing Xie Zhuxin coming, he explained with a smile that he was hungry after working all day and needed to eat something to fill his stomach, and hoped that she didn't mind.

At the same time, he told her to relax, find a place to sit and order her own food.

He also strongly recommended to her the store owner's secret braised beef recipe, saying that if you were not a regular customer you would never know about it.

His familiar and cheerful manner made it impossible to tell that the two of them had only met twice in social occasions.

This character is indeed somewhat like Sister Gu Mei~

Xie Zhuxin couldn't help but relax all of a sudden.

Then the two of them started chatting.

Let’s talk about food, travel, music, literature and movies.

Chat about anything related to art.

Aimless and unconstrained.

The only thing we didn’t talk about was Eileen Chang.

No one even talked about the movie "The First Incense".

Xu An asked Xie Zhuxin curiously what kind of boy she liked.

As a senior, she also taught some tips on choosing a boyfriend with a sly smile.

——All of this is far from the decisive "Iron Lady" director portrayed in the media.

Even if you ignore the strong personality revealed in her words and actions, this Xu An looks more like an ordinary aunt you meet for the first time.

While generously sharing his life experiences, he also has a childlike curiosity about what the younger generation thinks.

Xie Zhuxin also unknowingly forgot Xu An's identity as a big director and started to talk excitedly.

All in all, she enjoyed this midnight snack very much.

But even Xie Zhuxin herself didn't know whether the director had noticed her or not.

If Gu Mei hadn't given her some reassurance, saying that this was Director Xu An's style of selecting actors and asked her to remain patient.

I'm afraid she's not even in the mood for afternoon tea now.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhuxin withdrew his thoughts, blinked mysteriously at Yu Bei, and smiled without answering.

I'll talk to Xiaobei about these things after the dust settles.

"Hey, hey, hey! That's too much! After all, you've won the Best Actress award, and you're getting so arrogant! You can't even tell the truth to your best friends, right?"

Yu Bei was so angry that she jumped up and was about to tickle Xie Zhuxin, but Xie Zhuxin dodged narrowly.

"Where do I get the airs of a movie queen? Don't I always answer your questions?"

Xie Zhuxin held down Yu Bei's mischievous hands and scolded her with a smile.

"The main thing is that I'm not sure about this matter now. Can't you ask me something else? I promise to tell you everything I know..."

"Great! You said that yourself!"

Yu Bei stopped immediately, a smirk of triumph flashing across her face.

Only then did Xie Zhuxin realize that she might have fallen into a trap, so she had to use a sharp look to warn her good sister.

"Don't go too far~"

Yu Bei naturally didn't take this little deterrent to heart, and still impatiently asked about several entertainment gossips.

Xie Zhuxin had to rack her brains, carefully picking out what to say, and secretly revealed a little.

After much effort, Yu Xiaobei's appetite was finally satisfied.

"By the way, I've seen people breaking news online lately, saying that you took drugs to lose weight, with videos and pictures, and very thorough analysis. Is your team handling this?"

Yu Bei, who was smiling with gossip on her face just now, suddenly became very serious.

"Don't be so careless! This matter didn't make much noise, but it was actually quite well-known. Even my mom, who doesn't care much about the entertainment industry, saw it and asked me to pay more attention to you."

When Xie Zhuxin heard Yu Bei say this, his expression also changed.

"Our team has been dealing with this recently. The initial marketing account has actually been sorted out. The trouble is breaking the subsequent dissemination chain..."

She explained seriously.

Because the studio's publicity director Tina temporarily lost contact just two days before the revelation came out, many channels that she was solely responsible for could not be opened immediately.

This resulted in the public relations missing the best time to block the incident.

Even though I finally got through to Tina on the third day, she said she was abroad to see her children and had no cell phone signal, but she still took the initiative to find a way to remedy the situation.

But what has been spread out cannot be taken back.

Xie Zhuxin could only be thankful that this revelation was really too outrageous. I guess not too many people would believe it for a while, right?

"Don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't take it lightly."

She comforted Yu Bei.

Fortunately, the marketing account that first released the news has deleted it.

The apparent influence of public opinion has also been basically suppressed.

And Sister Shen has already obtained all the work authority from Tina.

Things like this shouldn't happen again.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's get back to gossip, shall we?"

Yu Bei raised her eyebrows and her expression became mischievous again.

"What do you think about the recent trending search about the female star Fang Xiaoyuan bravely pursuing the love of our group's CEO Zhang?"

Xie Zhuxin rolled her eyes quickly.

She knew that Xiaobei was going to cause trouble.

Real friends are meant to hurt your heart.

"How can I watch it? I can watch it online~"

"Don't you want to settle the score with that male protagonist? He's your boyfriend!"

Yu Bei had a sly smile on her face, but her eyes showed some seriousness.

When this news first came out, I called Xie Zhuxin to say hello.

But the answer she got at that time was very calm, as if she didn't care at all.

But based on my understanding of her over the years——

How is this possible!

It's just that Xie Zhuxin was a very busy man at that time and couldn't spare the time to meet and discuss in detail, so it has been delayed until now.

As expected, facing the face-to-face inquiries from her good sister, Xie Zhuxin finally couldn't help but speak out her true feelings.

"So what? They've explained it to you clearly over the phone - this is a job requirement, it's forced by human feelings, and I have no choice! After all that's been said, can I still be unreasonable and make a fuss?"

Seeing Xie Zhuxin's angry face and her cute look as she drank the coffee hard, Yu Bei couldn't help but laugh.

She lowered her head and poked at her phone a few times, then raised her hand to call the waiter to pay the bill.

Seeing this, Xie Zhuxin hurriedly stopped her.

"Hey, we're together, how can I let you pay the bill?"

Yu Bei smiled.

"Just think of it as a payment for your appearance as a big star. After you finish your coffee, you can go somewhere with me."

"Where?"

Xie Zhuxin said in surprise.

"Good place!"

Yu Bei smiled slyly.

"Just follow me and you'll know~"
