Chapter 165: Wife Who Cheated

The reversal in reputation also made many famous variety shows take the initiative to reach out to An Xin.
Not only were An Xin and Feng Bin classmates for many years, but they were also neighbors. The two of them looked at the calls from the production teams and felt complicated.
Feng Bin patted An Xin’s shoulder and sighed. “1 finally know what the saying of ‘you can ignore me today but you won’t be able to afford me tomorrow’! Hahaha, this feeling is too satisfying. In the past, we were the ones begging them. Now, it’s the opposite. Life, life, you never know what the next step is. What kind of plot has the heavens arranged for you?”
An Xin smiled faintly. “This is reality. When you become famous, you’ll realize that everyone around you will suddenly become good people. No matter what you do, someone will take the initiative to help you. It’s a hundred or a thousand times easier than before.”
Feng Bin nodded in agreement. “There are so many television stations. It’s definitely not realistic for us to go for all of them. How are we going to choose?”
An Xin rubbed his fingers and looked at the invitations in his notebook. In the end, he accepted three. “Just these three. I wonder if our female lead, An’an, can go.”
Feng Bin pursed his lips and thought for a moment. “It’s hard to say. An’an’s personality is low-key. After interacting with her for so long, the impression 1 have of her is that she purely likes to act and doesn’t chase after fame and fortune.”
An Xin thought of An’an’s state on set and her improvement. “She’ll definitely make a name for herself in this industry in the future.”
The two of them chatted casually. At the same time, they contacted the actors one by one. They prioritized the actors who had more scenes and were more popular in the comments section. Then, they decided on the candidates to participate.
When Tan Ming received the invitation, she thought that as the female lead, she had to attend the promotional event. Just as she was about to agree, Jiang Huai rejected for her.
After Jiang Huai hung up the phone, he looked at Tan Ming. “An’an, 1 want you to realize your dream, but I don’t want you to force yourself to do things you don’t like. Mom and Dad also feel this way, so if you don’t like certain things, you reject them. Focus on your role and be responsible for the audience who watch you act.”
Tan Ming thought for a while and nodded. “Brother, 1 understand what you mean.”
In the past, when there were no variety shows, there were no promotional events like advertisements or roadshows after filming. They entered the production team during filming and left the production team after filming. Whether they could be considered good actors or not was completely evaluated by the audience after watching the actors’ acting skills in the television drama.
There were no other references. The only reference for the audience was the script.
Days passed. On the fifth day of the broadcast, ‘Beginning’ became the number one television drama in the viewership ratings at the same time.
At this time, it was the last day of the seven-day holiday. On the morning of the sixth day of the New Year, everyone from the Jiang family ran back to their jobs. Tan Ming also followed her parents back to Sea City.
As soon as she landed, Tan Ming received a call from Zhao Bing. “Sister Bing, Happy New Year!”
Zhao Bing was scratching her ears and cheeks anxiously. Before she could say anything, Tan Ming’s sweet greeting caused her words to get stuck in her throat. She could only greet her first. “Alright, Happy New Year, An’an.”
Tan Ming asked again, “Sister Bing, why are you looking for me?”
Zhao Bing thought of something important. “It’s a big deal! Have you returned from your hometown to Sea City? You’d better come to the company directly. Let’s talk in person.”
When Tan Ming heard this, she knew that it should be an important and serious matter. “Alright, 1 just got off the plane. It will take about half an hour to reach the company.”
When Zhao Bing knew that she could see her, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, 1’11 wait for you.”
After Tan Ming hung up the phone, her first thought was to look at her phone immediately.
Sure enough, her name was on the trending searches again.
[Newbie in the entertainment industry, An’an. Suspected to be the wife of the Si Corporation’s CEO!]
[An’an, is she a canary kept by the boss, or is a rich lady keeping a gigolo? Or is there something else?]
[An’an, you’re immoral. Get out of the entertainment industry!]
Tan Ming frowned. She did not want her parents to worry, so she did not open the comments or read them carefully. She planned to take a look at the situation later. Hence, she turned off her screen. “Dad, Mom, 1 have to go to the company. My manager is looking for me.”
Li Mei asked with concern, “Is it something important?”
Tan Ming smiled. “I think so. It’s probably because the feedback from my drama is too good. She’s in a hurry to confirm the next steps of the plan with
me..”
