Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Becoming a Tool Person

According to the sequence of the commencement ceremony, after the incense offering, blessings, directors, producers, lead actors, and supporting roles had sequentially taken the stage to express their thoughts, journalists and media onsite initiated their interviews.

During usual commencement ceremonies, the main interviewees tended to be the lead actors. However, as Luo Yuwei was a newcomer with little to offer and no reputation, journalists were uninterested in interviewing her; their focus was entirely on well-followed celebrities like Jiang Wanze, Lin Yan, and the recently popular Ye Xian.

The trio was hemmed in by dozens of microphones, while Luo Yuwei was inadvertently squeezed out by the reporters.

“Be careful!”

She was accidentally bumped by a staff member, and Zou Gang hurriedly supported her waist.

Ye Xian, who was answering a question from a reporter, happened to see Zou Gang holding Luo Yuwei’s waist with a hand that subtly seemed to move lower.

She wanted to intervene but the environment wasn’t suitable, and she wondered… Shouldn’t this hero-saving-the-beauty act be something the lead male Jiang Wanze would do? Why was it always her who witnessed this?

Thinking to herself, she elbowed Jiang Wanze.

Jiang Wanze looked at her strangely, and Ye Xian gave him a signal with her eyes.

Jiang Wanze followed her gaze to see Luo Yuwei sitting alone outside the crowd, watching them with a desolate expression.

Zou Gang had already been called away.

Ye Xian, “…” How coincidental?

After the interview session and reaching lunchtime, Zeng Minghui busied himself inviting the cast to a meal to better know each other.

Ye Xian was about to warn Luo Yuwei about Zou Gang’s dubious intentions when she saw Zou Gang whisper something in Luo Yuwei’s ear, eliciting a beaming smile and constant nodding from her, then… she even got into a car with Zou Gang!

Could it be?

With Zou Gang’s intentions and gestures so blatant, didn’t Luo Yuwei realize at all?

“Brother Ye, Director Zeng is calling you. Let’s hurry over!”

Zhou Lu, carrying a bag, came to call her. Ye Xian watched Zou Gang’s gradually distancing car and furrowed her brow, “Xiao Lu, go ahead and save me a seat. I have something to deal with.”

“Just a moment.”

From a distance, Jiang Wanze came over, “Ye Xian, what were you pointing out to me during the interview?”

Jiang Wanze? His timing was perfect.

“Jiang Wanze, do you trust me?”

She suddenly asked such a serious question. Jiang Wanze was stunned for a moment but nodded. The current him was worthy of his trust.

Ye Xian, “Then stop the chatter, get in the car!”

Zhou Lu, “Eh…”

“Driver, follow that car with the license plate ending in 773!”

“Isn’t that car one of our cast’s?” asked Jiang Wanze puzzledly. “Why are we following him?”

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Ye Xian had never expected to go from a disposable supporting character to one facilitating the lead characters’ romance — wasn’t this a turn for the better?

In principle, she should be staying far away from the female lead — the farther the safer. But she couldn’t just watch a girl get harassed by a pervert right under her nose.

Zou Gang’s car pulled up in front of a grand five-star hotel, Ye Xian looking up at the hotel’s name in mild surprise.

Was Zou Gang really driven by his urges to boldly lure a woman into a hotel during broad daylight, so ostentatiously to a five-star establishment? He probably wasn’t aware of the Bo’s support behind Luo Yuwei.

Seeing Luo Yuwei and Zou Gang get out of the car together, Jiang Wanze’s eyes flickered with queries, “Why them?”
