Chapter 710 A Guilty Conscience (Part One)


    Warm sunshine, gentle breeze, beautiful women, and luxurious cars were undoubtedly the most


    beautiful things in the eyes of men. Rain shed a winsome smile at the group of girls dressed in skin-


    tight clothes. His sapphire blue earrings sparkled beautifully under the sun, making him look more


    fascinating.


    He mischievously blew a loud whistle and shifted his gaze from the girls to the script in his hands. This


    damn Edward always made him do the dirty work. Now, he had to offend all these beautiful women.


    "Hello beautifuldies! Do you think you have what it takes to rise to fame by bing the heroine of


    this y?" Rain always acted in a careless and casual manner, utterly carefree. Even in such a


    situation, he didn''t disy any hint of seriousness.


    "Huh! Even without this y, we are already well-known in every household. But we can''t believe that


    you will choose a novice girl to y such an important role."


    There were many A-list actresses in the FX International Entertainment Company. But as expected,


    they were all very arrogant peacocks. They never vied for a role in a y. Even if the y was tailor


    made for the actress, they wouldn''t even take a look at the script. This time, they all showed up to


    audition as if they colluded with each other beforehand. It was quite rare.


    "Oh! I see. Have you read through the script?" Rain nced at the group of girls, his hand holding up


    his chin.


    "Of course! How else would we know if the role was really important?" A woman with delicate makeup


    pursed her lips in displeasure. It was clear from her face that she found Rain''s question stupid.


    "Since you have all read the script, do you think you''re capable of ying this role? The heroine is an


    innocent and clever girl. But judging by your temperament and sophistication, I really don''t think you


    are fit for this role."


    Rain raised his head and shifted his eyes away from the script to the woman who questioned him, his


    charming eyes gazing at her. But the moment he took his eyes off her, he smiled sardonically.


    "Judging from Mr. Xia''s words, are you implying that we aren''t innocent? Girls, don''t you think he''s


    being rude to us?" Women always had their own unique way of thinking and understanding. Even when


    they didn''t usually get along with each other, they immediately united with the anger inmed by the


    woman.


    "Yes, what makes you think that we''re sophisticated? We''re actually very mature. You should watch


    your words when you''re describing us." All of a sudden, the rage of the whole group was aroused. The


    atmosphere immediately became extremely heated.


    Rain rolled his tongue in his mouth and looked yfully at the several women who were the most


    indignant. It turned out that no matter how graceful they looked before the camera, they would


    inevitably show their ugly teeth in private. They were definitely not suitable for this y. It was fortunate


    that they weren''t the pirs of the entertainmentpany, otherwise thepany would have gone


    bankrupt already.


    Rain sneered. Mature? How could he think they were mature from the way they just acted? They were


    actually very vulgar in his eyes. But he kept this thought to himself. Otherwise, the situation would get


    out of control.


    "No matter what, the CEO and I will fully respect the decision of the director. I think the director and the


    scriptwriter are the ones who know best who would be most suitable for the roles in the y. So I


    advise that you''d better stop now, and don''t spread rumors around the city. This won''t do you any good,


    and it will only feed the paparazzi with false headlines. Moreover, the CEO will not be happy with that


    oue."


    Rain''s tone was sharp and his words brooked no argument. If this had happened in the past, Rain


    would have teased the girls yfully. But now that he had Annie in his heart, he lost all interest in


    flirting with any other woman.


    "Do you think the CEO will enjoy working with a girl who knows nothing about acting?" At the mere


    mention of the CEO, everyone was intimidated. But when they thought about the rumor they heard


    about the y beforehand, they red indignantly and argued further about it.


    "Wait, what do you mean? Do you mean that the CEO will act in the y? You''re confusing me." Rain


    dropped his yful smile and listened carefully, eager to know the details.


    "Huh! Everyone knows about it! The protagonist Beichen Yeyan will be yed by the CEO. Because no


    one else can perform and vividly portray the romantic charm of the protagonist, so that''s why the CEO


    was asked to y the role." One of the women, who was a minor celebrity in the entertainment circle


    pursed her lips, scoffing at Rain who she thought was ying the fool.


    Rain grinned gleefully. "What did you say? The CEO will y the protagonist? You''re so funny! I


    wonder who''s powerful enough to have the guts to invite the CEO to y in the ''The Wicked Doctor


    and The Pretty Imperial Concubine'' y."


    Rain almostughed his head off. This was probably the funniest joke he had heard this year. They


    really had a whimsical sense of humor to start a rumor about Edward acting in the y. But Rain was


    really looking forward to seeing how Edward would react if he knew that this farce had something to do


    with him. He couldn''t wait to see Edward''s expression when he got the news. It would be so amusing.


    "Wait, it''s not real? We came here to audition for the role of the heroine because we heard that the


    CEO will act in the y. And we''ve read the script, we think Beichen Yeyan is a character with the


    perfectbination of nobility and handsomeness who could only be portrayed by the CEO. No one in


    the entertainment circle is better suited than him for this role."


    Seeing Rain''s exaggerated smile, all the girls looked at each other in puzzlement. Was it really all just a


    rumor? But it couldn''t be! Someone had heard about it from the director of the y. That was the


    reason why they desperately wanted to get this role.


    "In fact, you can wish for this to happen. Or you can make it happen by collectively making a petition to


    have the CEO portray this role. I think the audience ratings of the y will definitely reach the top once


    it opens." Rain wiped his tears ofughter, imagining Edward wearing the ancient costume and


    swinging a sword. The thought amused him to no end.


    "Mr. Xia, is it really impossible?" All the girls were frustrated. To get this role, they had refused many


    other good opportunities. If there really was no truth to it, they had turned them all down for nothing.

    "What do you think? You are really quite imaginative to think of something so remarkable. It''s a pity that


    you chose to be actresses instead of scriptwriters." Holding back the urge tough, Rain shed a


    mischievous smile, without any trace of the previous grievance he had on his face.


    "Since it''s impossible, why did the director mislead us without any exnation?" They suddenly


    changed their minds and put the me at the director of the y.


    "As a member of the entertainment circle, didn''t you think that it might be a publicity stunt?


    But the director actually dared to use the CEO as a publicity stunt. What a bold person!" Rain smiled.


    He was surprised when he heard such a ridiculous farce. In the midst of hisughter, he felt relieved.


    He finally solved what was originally a serious matter in a delighted way. What he would do the


    following was to make good fun of the great Mr. Mu.


    Compared to Rain''s sessful day, Duke''s trouble had just begun. The trouble he was currently


    dealing with was the bothersome woman standing in front of him.


    "Duke, can we eat lunch together? Even if we can''t be together, we can still be friends. I''ve realized


    that everything in the past will always remain in the past. I know it''s impossible to get it back again. I''m


    really sorry for troubling you before."


    Rachel said pitifully, showing an imploring look on her beautiful face. She looked contrite and


    depressed.


    "It''s good that you''ve realized that. But regarding lunch, we can do it some other day. I have an


    appointment now." Duke was surprised to see Rachel''s sudden transformation regarding their


    rtionship. But he didn''t think too much about it. She probably took his words from the other day to


    heart. As a woman, it was impossible for her not to have any self-respect and shame.


    "You don''t have time today? Okay, that''s fine. Sorry for disturbing you." Rachel''s eyes darkened with


    disappointment, but she immediately shed a pleasant smile to indicate that she didn''t mind. Her


    behavior seemed appropriate.


    "Sorry, I have to leave now." Duke smiled apologetically and left in a hurry. If Rachel kept pestering him,


    he definitely wouldn''t give her any opportunity to get close to him. But since she was behaving like an


    understanding woman, he found it hard to continue acting coldly towards her. This was Duke''s gentle


    and soft side.
