The Crematorium While Chasing an Alpha Was Intercepted by a Flirtatious Omega Senior Sister [Rebirth] 17

Chapter 17:

[It’s done.]

At the vanity, her wavy, chestnut-brown hair had been dyed black and straightened, then styled into an ancient flying cloud bun. The delicate face below was tilted up, a pair of watery almond eyes half-closed. They snapped open upon receiving the message from the video call.

A cunning smile, like a ripple on water, spread across the amber lake of her pupils.

“Teacher Ji, what good news have you received today?” the makeup artist, Tina, asked, tilting her head. She held a makeup puff and was applying a layer of classical makeup to Ji Qianqian’s flawless face.

Ji Qianqian leaned back lazily in the makeup chair, glanced at the door of the dressing room, and smiled. “A family member is coming to visit the set.” After saying this, she pressed her red lips together, her heart leaping with joy.

Tina mentally zipped her lips, her hands not stopping. The meaning of “family member” was too broad; she didn’t dare to inquire further. The relationships in the entertainment industry were complex. Besides being backed by the powerful Ji family, one of the four great families, Ji Qianqian’s own achievements were solid, and her momentum was fierce. In three years, she had won the Best Newcomer Award for a movie and achieved the number one viewership rating for a TV series.

Not counting the “Strange Jianghu” she was currently filming, these were the only two works she had acted in.

Later, someone dug into her resume and found that in high school, Ji Qianqian, as a lead dancer, had won the first prize of the Feitian Award, the country’s highest dance award. As a long-time dancer, she had a good figure, and her natural physical conditions were excellent.

Whether as a print model or a runway model, she was one in a million. Most styles of clothes she wore, she could basically pull off, and she could even interpret them with a new and unique flavor. She was highly favored in the fashion circle and had great potential.

Her manager, Su Fang, was also Ji Qianqian’s high school classmate and best friend. She sat next to her, holding a stack of scripts, doing the first round of screening. Hearing Ji Qianqian’s words, she looked up. “How come I don’t know of any family member who can make you this happy?”

Father Ji, stepmother Shen Manting… neither of them was easy to deal with. Oh, wait, she had missed one.

“Could it be that Aunt Pei is coming to see you?” Su Fang asked. Three years ago, when Ji Qianqian was a sophomore in college, she had insisted on bringing her birth mother, Pei Huan, back to H City. She had thought she was joking. Even as the daughter of the Ji family, Pei Huan’s identity was very sensitive.

But the next day, Ji Qianqian had secretly brought her back. Using her personal savings, she bought her mother an apartment. She rarely went out, spending her days tending to flowers and plants at home.

Perhaps she was a recluse, very mysterious. It was rare to see the mother and daughter openly reuniting outside. Could it be that this time, for Ji Qianqian’s new drama, she had made a special trip to show her concern and visit?

Ji Qianqian shook her head, a smile still on her lips. Su Fang couldn’t guess. Just as she was about to ask, her phone rang.

It was from Xue Menghuan, the lead actress of “Strange Jianghu” who had supposedly resigned due to illness, and was known in the entertainment industry as the number one regal alpha.

Ji Qianqian: “Are you enjoying your vacation?”

The cry of a seagull could be heard, and faintly, the sound of waves crashing. Xue Menghuan was lying on a beach chair, revealing a healthy, wheat-colored back. Her beta assistant was diligently applying layers of sunscreen.

She was carefree and at ease, not looking sick at all.

“My goddess Qianqian, I was forced to take this vacation,” Xue Menghuan said with a wronged tone, but her body was very happy. “You’ve really gone to great lengths to have your beloved come and replace me.”

“Thank you for your great kindness. I’ll keep an eye out for good scripts for you,” Ji Qianqian said in a low voice.

She had already decided to give the female lead role in Director Zhao’s masterpiece, “Golden Armor Under Heaven,” to Xue Menghuan. The ancient costume film genre was a bit repetitive with her previous role anyway.

“Alright. I’ll tell you another surprise,” Xue Menghuan said with a grin. “There are still a few scenes that haven’t been filmed. I’ve left some surprise scenes for you. You have to act them out well with your little lover.”

She was trying to be mysterious, but after hearing it, Ji Qianqian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, a blush creeping up her ears. “Of course.”

Yan Qinghe drove to the location given to her by Wei Weizhi.

When the director, Fei Qiankun, saw her, he stared at her face and slapped his thigh in amazement. “As expected of the person recommended by President Wei. Your face is simply perfect for the role of Ling Han.”

Yan Qinghe took it as flattery and pretended not to hear. She just wanted to get it over with. Since the previous lead actress was sick and she needed to fill in temporarily, with an AI face swap later, the first step was to create a model of her face.

“How long will it take?” she asked Director Fei.

The director took her to the modeling room. Inside, there were two rows of white and gray facial sculptures. In the center was a large machine. Yan Qinghe lay on it, as if on an operating table. The machine, in the form of a tube, scanned her face.

The modeling was complete, with a ninety-nine percent compatibility rate.

Fei Qiankun was extremely satisfied with Yan Qinghe’s face. He felt it was a pity she wasn’t a professional actor. Thinking of the role in the drama, he wanted to do another test.

“Can we do a compatibility test between you and the female lead of the drama?” At that time, directors in the D-Country entertainment industry liked to use machines to test the compatibility of the main characters before filming. This test was called “CP sense” or “sexual tension.”

Whether a film or TV series would be a hit was a matter of mystery. The compatibility of the lead actors’ auras, which brought dramatic tension, was crucial.

Yan Qinghe nodded indifferently. Since she was already here, another test wouldn’t take much time.

An ice-blue halo of light formed into a face and covered hers. Combined with the existing facial data in the database, it coldly reported an answer that made Fei Qiankun’s blood boil with excitement—

[The CP compatibility test result between Ling Han’s actress, Yan Qinghe, and Su Qingru’s actress, Ji Qianqian—one hundred percent tension, one hundred percent compatibility.]
