Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 175 - 172: She Made His Heart Flutter Again

Chapter 175: Chapter 172: She Made His Heart Flutter Again

After her words fell, others didn’t react much, but Wen Xian’s brows slightly furrowed.

“Got a good relationship with the rescue team?”

Does the rescue in this area fall under the jurisdiction of Lu Xiao’s team?

At this moment, Cheng Yufei could not help but interject, “Those who come to act in this kind of film are all talented actors, not something any small-time influencer could handle. This isn’t like the big cities—out here in the wild desert, if something were to go wrong, how would we—”

By the end of her sentence, when her gaze swept toward Wen Xian, she suddenly choked up.

She saw that after venting so much, not only was Wen Xian not angry, but she was actually looking at her with a smile.

The smile made Cheng Yufei feel a bit creeped out, “What, what are you laughing at?!”

Wen Xian lowered her eyes, then looked up again and said with a smile, “Miss Cheng, regarding this matter, I must say I’m sorry to you, no matter what.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

They looked at her in disbelief, wondering if those words really came from the mouth of a popular actress.

Anyone who could climb to that position must be ruthless and merciless.

Cheng Yufei was stunned too.

But Wen Xian continued with a smile:

“Miss Cheng, I know you’re dissatisfied with me as a newcomer and question my qualifications. However, I would think that for a movie aiming for international awards, they wouldn’t blindly choose the lead actress, after all—”

She glanced at Dongyuan and Director Li, “Your brother is a top producer, and Director Li is a renowned filmmaker. Surely they can’t afford to tarnish their own reputations.

Besides, I have already auditioned, and I truly believe that I can perform better than you, even though you were here first. But that shouldn’t stop a more suitable actor from interpreting this movie, should it?”

She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, her reasoning clear and concise.

Indeed, she had sought help from Cheng Dongyuan, but she had the talent as well.

Only, she had never set foot in the realm of films with such realistic themes, disdaining them as hard, exhausting, and unprofitable.

When she went to the audition, her performance was well received by the director.

And when the director discussed payment, she refused it all—she didn’t want a cent. She truly wanted to put her heart into filming this Western film.

With acting skills and no salary demands, why wouldn’t they use her?

“You—”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yufei’s face turned ugly. She was at a loss for words.

Others began to see Wen Xian in a different light, with a hint more respect in their eyes.

That’s right.

Even though Wen Xian was an upstart, before the filming starts, the director always has the right to choose the more suitable actor.

And while Cheng Yufei was taunting Wen Xian, a top star, in front of everyone, Wen Xian didn’t get angry, but instead apologized and reasoned with her.

This made it clear who was the one being petty and narrow-minded.

Everyone: “…”

Listening to her words, Dongyuan’s gaze towards her deepened and became more complex.

Wen Xian had changed during the years they were apart.

Faced with this situation, she could have lashed out, but instead, she chose to smile silently, waiting for the other person to finish before explaining herself.

She had matured, and she moved him… even more.

…

For today, all the crew members would rest and get organized at the inn, with filming set to start tomorrow.

Since Wen Xian arrived later, she didn’t know where she was staying.

Fang Zhi then led her to the inn to find her room.

“Thank you for your trouble, Miss Fang,” said Wen Xian with a light smile.

Fang Zhi also returned a slight smile, “Miss Wen, I didn’t expect such an impressive star like you would be willing to endure hardship in a place like this.”

“It’s nothing,”

Wen Xian waved her hand dismissively, but then something seemed to come to mind, and she suddenly asked, “Hey, Miss Fang, I heard you mention before that you seem… quite familiar with the people from the rescue team?”
