001

The youth idol drama "My All-Round Girlfriend" has only been filming for a week, not much of the show has been shot, but the atmosphere on set is quite lively. 

 

First of all, there are signs of the male and female leads developing into an on-set couple. 

 

The second male lead comes from a popular background and is currently trending, often taking leave to attend various events.

 

That's not at all, the most outrageous thing is the second female lead Ceca. She is a current student at a domestic film school, who gained fame by a group of photos during the college entrance exam. She was the "most beautiful examinee" of that year. As soon as she became famous, she signed with an agency. This year, she got lucky and hooked up with a wealthy young Millionaire in China. This young boy holds shares in Starlight Entertainment and has made quite a few investments in the entertainment industry. "My All-Round Girlfriend" is a show he initiated, and with this relationship, Ceca landed the role of the second female lead.

 

The female lead of this show is good at everything except for dating, while the second female lead is the opposite, only good at dating but nothing else. ૮(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)ა

 

So far, Ceca hasn't made any major mistakes in her performance, but she inexplicably finds fault with an extra girl on set and keeps picking on her.

 

The next scene to be filmed happens to involve the second female lead and the extra girl together. While waiting, Ceca approaches the extra girl for a scene rehearsal, but things go awry.

 

The director's assistant came over, wanting to see what was going on. Ceca's assistant handed him a bottle of water and asked if they could change the person, Ceca and Jasmine (the extra girl) are just incompatible.

 

The director's assistant was left baffled by this statement. 

 

Ceca has a relationship with rich second generation Ben, but Jasmine Lee, the extra, wasn't someone they could just replace. She was introduced by the assistant director. The director's assistant wanted to ask more details to try and mediate the situation but was interrupted by Ceca, who was sitting with her legs crossed.

 

Ceca shook her phone and said, "I have something to do, I can't film the next scene."

 

"Isn't it a bit unnecessary, Miss Ceca..."

 

"You can tell boss Ben about it. He's taking me out for dinner, and he'll be here soon."

 

In the entertainment industry, everyone is astute, who wouldn't understand the implied meaning? The director's assistant suddenly realized what was going on and quickly went to inform the assistant director. The assistant director felt that since Jasmine was introduced by him and things had escalated, he needed to know and might have to step in to resolve the issue.

 

After hearing the news, the assistant director sighed, "Bring Jasmine here."

 

In just two minutes, Jasmine arrived in front of the assistant director. 

 

The young girl remained calm, showing no signs of urgency.

 

If she's not in a hurry, the assistant director is. 

 

He opened his mouth to speak but noticed several people nearby eavesdropping, so he pulled her aside and said with a stern face, "What's the matter today? I told you not to provoke those people, why don't you listen?"

 

The young girl blinked innocently, "I didn't do anything..."

 

"I don't care if you did it or not, now Ceca has brought Ben, you know who Ben is, right? He's our main investor, if he decides to let you go, I can't do anything to help," the assistant director glanced around and continued, "Supposedly, I managed to get you into the crew, this trouble is of your own making, don't expect me to solve it for you. If you get kicked out later, I won't refund your money."

 

"You are already an assistant director..."

 

"My position as an assistant director means nothing in front of the investors."

 

Jasmine paused for a moment, "I mean, as an assistant director, you should handle things more responsibly. I know about Ben, he comes from a wealthy family, graduated from a prestigious school, and is reasonable."

 

The director's assistant only knew that Jasmine was brought in by the assistant director, not knowing they had known each other for less than a month, their relationship being purely transnational, the young girl bought the role for herself with her own money.

 

Seeing her holding up well, the assistant director's eyes lit up, "Do you know General Ben?"

 

Jasmine nodded without a trace of guilt, "I have seen him in the news a lot, the headlines of Today's Fast News have reported that he may be a bit flirtatious and changes girlfriends quickly, but he has a good character."

 

......?

 

 If his daughter is so silly, the assistant director can die of anger in the past, considering the pure money relationship with him in front of this young girl, she can be so cheerful and optimistic is very good thing.

 

"Anyway, you can solve this matter yourself, I can't and won't help you."

 

"Oh," she said.

 

"If you are really fired, don't ask me for a refund, I have no money."

 

"Oh," she said.

Thirty minutes later, Ben arrived and put Ceca into his arms, asking, "Why are you upset?"

 

Ceca pursed her lips, "It's nothing."

 

As the conversation unfolded, her assistant said, "Sister Ceca, you are just too kind."

 

 Ben, in his mid-twenties, with countless rumored girlfriends, understood women well due to his experiences. Seeing the two of them talking in harmony, he knew that Ceca wanted to complain but hesitated to do so in person, so he played along.

 

When Ben met her, he was still new to the scene and naturally willing to cooperate. Pretending not to see through her, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who's so tactless?"

 

"Her name is Jasmine Lee, just a extra"

 

Ceca glared at her assistant, "You said too much!"

 

Ben patted her back and said to the people around, "Extra players, they are just extra players, who can't do it, right?"

 

With the main investor showing his attitude, what could others say?

 

It seemed that extra players had no luck.

 

After Ben finished his conversation and was about to leave with Ceca, a poorly dressed woman blocked their path.

 

Wearing oversized T-shirt, cropped pants, sneakers, and a messy hairstyle, it was a bit hard on the eyes.

 

"What's the matter?"

 

The one blocking their path was Jasmine, dressed according to the crew's requirements, although the director didn't ask for such a tacky look. Due to her good looks, being a extra player was unacceptable for someone prettier than the leading and supporting actresses. Jasmine didn't care about this, the problem was, she paid for a extra part role to challenge herself, and now she was getting kicked out after barely appearing on set?

 

Jasmine looked straight at Ben, a bit resentful, and asked him, "Did you hire me extra players? You have no guilt in firing me? Are you not afraid to face your parents, grandparents, and ancestors for your bullying behavior?"

 

Ben: ...

 

"Oh, so you're the extra player? You can't stand being fired and now you bring out your parents, grandparents, and ancestors to try and teach me a lesson?" Normally, Ben would have walked away after saying this, but this time he found the situation interesting, even though it was just a country girl in front of him. He teased, "If you have the guts, let my grandma say it to my face, let her teach me a lesson, can you do that?"

 

Ben's grandpa was still alive, but his grandma had passed away from a terminal illness a few years ago.

 

He said this on purpose, never expecting the girl to actually pull out her phone and ask for his grandmother's phone number.

 

Ben: ?

 

Jasmine: "Your grandmother's phone number."

 

Ben: "Are you really going to call my grandma?... Fine." Ben took out his phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, scrolled through the contact list, and showed her a number that hadn't been deleted.

 

[Grandma royal - 188****8888]

 

Jasmine dialed the number, and Ben waited for the message indicating that the number was no longer in service, after his grandmother passed away, supposedly, the number should not connect to anyone. To his surprise, the girl in front of him patiently waited with the phone by her ear, and then a voice greeted her.

 

"Is this Ben's grandma? Me? No, I'm not his girlfriend. You should ask him if he has a girlfriend?" Jasmine glanced at Ceca, who was holding Little Lu's arm, and murmured, "It seems like he has quite a few..."

 

Ben listened to Ceca with increasing disbelief, "Stop pretending. If you can really connect this call, I'll let you call me grandma and be your grandson, okay?"

 

As soon as he finished speaking, Jasmine handed him the phone.

 

Ben raised an eyebrow.

 

Jasmine handed it over again, "You answer."

 

Fine, he'll answer! ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ

 

Ben took her phone, placed it by his ear, and chuckled, "Who do you think you are, pretending to be my grandma? I'll make your whole family explode, you scammer."

 

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

 

Ben provocatively said, "Didn't you ask your dad to answer the phone? Your dad already pick up it, say something!"

 

The other side couldn't resist anymore—

 

"Daring to talk to your grandma like that, Ben, you've gone too far!"

...

...

...

Little Ben, who had just had a disdainful expression, gradually froze as he moved the phone away from his ear to look at the number displayed on the screen.

 

It was indeed his late grandmother's number.

 

Putting the receiver back to his ear, the familiar loud voice was still scolding vigorously.

 

It was April, filming in the south, the weather was warm.

 

While everyone was relaxed, Ben felt a sudden chill from head to toe.

 

"Gr-grandma? Really my grandma? Are you still alive?"

 

The director & assistant director & ABCDE crew members, and the rumored girlfriend Miss Ceca holding his arm: ...???

 

If the call was answered, how could she not be alive?

 

Is there a Ghost on the phone?! (ᇂ_ᇂ|||)
