“Well, I was thinking, what was the name of the Heavenly King who died in the villa four years ago?” Xiao Qishen frowned. “How did he die?”
Lin Yiqian’s face froze, and his smile became a little stiff. He sighed. “It’s been a long time since anyone’s talked about him. That man…”
Xiao Qishen didn’t even expect Lin Yiqian to know about it. In the past four years, he had never heard Lin Yiqian mention anything about that celebrity.
“That person was a natural superstar.” Lin Yiqian said with a smile of regret. “At the time, he was better at living in this circle than even you. People outside the industry liked to call him the affectionate prince. In truth, he was just a ruthless man.”
Xiao Qishen heard a hint of something in Lin Yiqian’s words. He continued to ask, confused, “Then how did he die?”
“He…” Lin Yiqian’s voice quivered. “He was murdered.”
“He was envied because of how popular he was?” Xiao Qishen asked indifferently.
Lin Yiqian shook his head.
“He was, but he died because of a woman’s crazed love. The affectionate prince was actually just a man who had no room for love in his heart.”
Xiao Qishen wasn’t expecting such an answer. He chuckled. “He died just like that. Even though he was a Heavenly King, his death was nothing more than that.”
With the lights dimmed, Xiao Qishen couldn’t see the expression on Lin Yiqian’s face. But under the music, he could still hear Lin Yiqian’s words.
“He was actually a celebrity with the most star-power I have ever met.”
It seemed that Lin Yiqian also mentioned the name of the superstar, but Xiao Qishen wasn’t able to catch it clearly. He flippantly watched the stage, not even knowing who was dancing whatever meaningless dance moves. Wasn’t this star’s temperament just fake?
At the end of the event, Shan Yatong put his hands in his trouser pockets and followed Yuan Wen. The moment he got in the car, he heard the flash of a shutter.

Sitting in the car, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

Shan Yatong opened his eyes and peered at Yuan Wen. “What response do you want from me to give yourself some peace of mind?” He closed his eyes again, as if meditating. “As I’ve said, in the entertainment industry, there is never a last laugh.”
“So, are you showing off to me?!” Yuan Wen’s face reddened with anger. “You think you’re a big deal?!”
Ding Yan couldn’t keep listening to these words. “Yuan Wen, don’t bother posting your announcement tomorrow. You better stay home and rest well!” he shouted sharply.
“Who cares!” Yuan Wen turned away. “I don’t want to participate either!”
Shan Yatong watched this fiasco unfold. He looked out the car window, watching the street lights flash by, and closed his eyes. He had a hunch that there would be more announcements.
In the quiet car, Ding Yan’s mobile phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, Ding Yan looked at Shan Yatong with a complicated expression. “I just got a call from the “Lincheng” film crew’s assistant director. They called to inform you to go in for an audition.”
Shan Yatong opened his eyes. “Lincheng?”
Noticing his lack of reaction, Ding Yan explained. “It’s a New Year’s Eve drama by the famous director Lin Yiqian. It is going to be the biggest investment in the film industry this year. The main actor is Xiao Qishen. The role they want you to audition for is the role of his younger brother, Lian Yu, who plays an important role.”
“Lin Yiqian?” Shan Yatong’s eyes were wide with surprise, as well as concern. “Why would they request for me?”
Ding Yan patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. Listening to their tone, they were very satisfied with your appearance. You should just give it a try.” Deep down, he knew from the bottom of his heart that Shan Yatong’s chances of getting the role was not great. Lin Yiqian, the famous King of Films, had strict standards. Yatong’s current acting skills simply could not meet the director’s requirements at all.
“I understand.” Shan Yatong asked a little nervously, “Then what should I do to prepare?”
Ding Yan laughed. “Just go home and sleep well. I will pick you up tomorrow morning, and keep you in the best condition.”
Regardless of success or failure, being summoned by Director Lin to audition was also a form of affirmation for Yatong. This will provide a good foundation for his future career in the entertainment industry.
Yuan Wen clenched his fists in his invisible corner.
Yatong returned to his apartment. It was already past 11 o’clock in the evening. He took a shower, and finally laid down on his bed. He frowned.
“Xiao Qishen…”
Rolling over, he turned off the light. Shan Yatong closed his eyes. In the entertainment industry, there were only unexpected things that couldn’t be anticipated. Therefore, he didn’t bother to think about these inexplicable things. Since it was an opportunity, he had no reason not to take it.
In this circle, strength and fame cannot be equated.
To be popular, one must be capable. But capability did not necessarily result in popularity.
After a dreamless night, Shan Yatong was awakened by the doorbell. He opened the door unhappily. Outside stood his assistant and Ding Yan.
Ding Yan saw that Shan Yatong was not fully awake yet. He couldn’t help but say, “I thought you wouldn’t sleep well. But it seems like you had a good rest last night.”
He let the two people enter, and poured two glasses of water for them. Shan Yatong rubbed his forehead. “You guys take a break first, I’ll go get changed.”
Ding Yan glanced at the decorations in the room. Some small areas seemed to have changed. Could it be that Yatong’s fondness for furry dolls has changed? There was not a single doll to be seen in the room.
“Huh?” Assistant Yang said in surprise. “Where’s Yatong’s favorite coffee cup?”
He couldn’t help but look down at the water glass in his hand. It was a transparent glass, nothing fancy, but very comfortable.
“It seems like this kid has really changed his hobbies.” Ding Yan took a sip of water. He didn’t think any more of it.
After a while, the door opened. Shan Yatong was wearing a white shirt and simple casual jeans underneath. His hair was obviously groomed, and he had a faint feeling of melancholy.
He took a glass of water from under the water dispenser and drank it, then placed it on the coffee table. Shan Yatong looked at the two sitting on the sofa. “Let’s go.”
Assistant Yang looked at the cup that was abandoned on the coffee table. Yatong had become unexpectedly bold even in his temperament?
Shan Yatong went out the door. He yanked the door heavily, closing it with a thump. He looked at the two people behind him, and noticed something was not quite right with their expressions. “What’s the matter?
Sure enough, bold!
Assistant Yang was amazed.
Yatong was really too tense! Ding Yan sighed from the bottom of his heart. He still had to use his brain power. There was too much wrong so early in the morning.
He remembered that Shan Yatong would usually close the door gently, and that he would never toss his cup so casually onto the coffee table.
After getting in the car, Ding Yan handed him the character information about Shan Yatong’s audition role. “Take a look first.”
Shan Yatong flipped two pages and then closed the information in his hand. “Who is playing opposite me today?”
“I’m not sure about that. It may not be arranged until we arrive.” Ding Yan had made a miscalculation. It seemed as if Yatong was feeling confident about this situation, but Yatong had never filmed before. Was his initial impression of the situation wrong?
Shan Yatong nodded, indicating his understanding. He dropped the conversation.
A role like Lian Yu wasn’t hard.
Oho~ Now I am curious whether his real identity will be exposed after this?
