The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Xinri Media had appeared out of the blue with a very impressive background and a lot of capital behind it. They had a strong presence and others would not easily look down on them. Nobody would want to offend her. Even if Xinri was to go belly up, she still has the rock Ms. Lin Ping behind her. All they could say was, that’s the difference between one that had background and one that did not.

Furthermore, Lin Yiyi was the producer of this new show. She was the equivalent of a dictator as far as the production team was concerned and the one with the final say when it came to anything production-related. She could decide on who gets to stay or go and also held the power on choosing new actors.

Besides, as long as Xinri remained standing, they’d inevitably work with each other again on future projects.

Yu Yi saw Lin Yiyi the second that he walked inside. He had no choice. When there were only two delicate and pretty females among a group of red chili peppers that were stingy to one’s eyes, even sows would look like fairies. Not to mention that Lin Yiyi was a beauty that possessed both look and temperament.

A beauty like that, albeit among a group of men, would be like the moon being surrounded by stars rather than some actresses who ended up being like the women that were there to please.

Yu Yi carried the two servings of desserts and walked over to them casually. Placing them down in front of the two ladies, he even said in a very gentlemanly way, “Enjoy.”

A boy like him was always very pleasing, let alone that he also behaved appropriately in addition to his good looks.

Tao Jiahui, too, liked boys like him. He was pleasing to the eyes.

She took the cake from him and gestured to him to take the spot next to Lin Yiyi.

With the exception of the spot next to Lin Yiyi, the only other available spot was the next to the red chili pepper who had called out to him earlier.

The boy had been polite toward them. It’d be wrong for them to not help him out.

It’d be better had Lin Yiyi been the one who interfered. Unfortunately, she probably failed to read all the subtexts that had been going around.

In other words, Lin Yiyi had been overprotected to a point that she had never encountered the dark side of the society and had no idea about all the dirty business within the entertainment circle and the business world. Everybody knew better than to bring a lover or an actress with them to the occasional gathering that they knew Lin Yiyi would attend. That would be a very reckless thing to do.

Even though Tao Jiahui was the one who resolved Yu Yi’s issue quietly, the favor still went to Lin Yiyi. Had he not turned to Lin Yiyi at once, there was no way the red chili pepper would have given up so easily.

Yu Yi did not speak again after he had sat down.

Had he not been adding tea for her from time to time, Lin Yiyi would have completely forgotten about his presence.

“… These were the only actresses who have one to two months of availability.”

Director Chen did not let the little interruption distract him. He carried on talking. “The first month is the most crucial. Anything beyond that we will be able to work something out. Even if they have something else going on, we can always work out a schedule to let them do both concurrently. This is not the most ideal way of doing things, but it has been done before. After all, we shouldn’t stop others from making money, right?”

Having said that, he looked over at Lin Yiyi.
