Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1188: Casting Process Part 5

”What did she just say??!” Wei Xing’s pupils were constricted. He had to pick his ears multiple times to see if he had heard wrong.

Not to mention him, even the others were startled and alarmed by Evelyn’s suggestion.

The most taken aback was Xu Feng.

’Is she a lunatic?’ He wondered silently. He had already behaved like a scumbag, so why was she still sticking around?

At the very least, he expected a curse to the face.

”What? Surprised by my response?” Evelyn curled her lips upward.

She then unceremoniously walked around the table and subtly moved Li Sheng Xuan’s chair away. Since the chair was equipped with wheels, it was an easy feat.

And then, under the gaze of many, she removed his mask.

Naturally, Xu Feng wanted to stop her, but she was extremely bold. In response to his resistance, she flashed her chest and shone it right at him.

How was he supposed to be able to react in such a surprise attack?

With his mask unveiled, Evelyn’s eyes sparkled in delight.

’Hah, no wonder these three vixens were doing their best to flirt with him.’ She sneered inwardly. With such a handsome face, who wouldn’t be moved?

It was truly a pity!

Evelyn had hoped his face was average or below average. After all, she didn’t care for his appearance, only his virtue.

’I just knew it wouldn’t be so easy.’ Evelyn held some regret. If Xu Feng weren’t so handsome, then her chances of making him her lover would be 99.99%.

”What’s the meaning of this?” Xu Feng asked.

”I just wanted our first introduction in the real world to not be obscured by anything.” Evelyn smiled sweetly and leaned closer to him.

”I’m Evelyn, the same person in the Divine World that received your lovely grenade in our first interaction.”

”...”

Her words caused others to be mistaken about their ambiguous relationship.

Grenade?

Did she mean the explosive kind that happened in bed?

Feeling the weird gazes piercing through him, Xu Feng said, ”Speak clearly. Don’t word it so ambiguously when it’s nothing special.”

”But it is special,” Evelyn argued, who proceeded to place her hand on his chest. ”I still remember being blasted to Narnia by you.”

’Fuck... she’s doing this on purpose.’ He instantly realized the trick she was deploying. She was establishing her territorial base and presence to others.

Unlike the typical reaction of a jealous woman who only knew to lash out, she was actively flirting and pushing others aside with her domineering act.

If the others didn’t know any better, then Evelyn would have truly succeeded in her plans.

”That is enough, Miss Evelyn.” Xu Feng promptly grasped her hand and stopped her action. ”We’re still under a casting process and can’t afford any delay.”

”Casting process?” Evelyn raised an eyebrow and snatched the script lying on the desk. She browsed through it a bit and noticed a very suitable role.

”This female emperor role...” She grinned and gave a meaningful look at Xu Feng up and down. ”I want this role.”

”HUH!”

Almost immediately, the crowd went numb at her declaration.

”Miss, this isn’t good!” Evelyn’s secretary, Diana, finally couldn’t stand it longer and hurriedly tried to urge her otherwise.

How could someone of her status do something as lowly as shooting a short drama?

It was completely ridiculous!

”Shut up!” Evelyn raised her voice.

”The Vanguard Guild refused any investment, so the only way to get closer is to star in the drama. Moreover, the female emperor’s actions and direction are determined based on the actor’s discretion. In other words, Cool Wind is destined to be mine!”

”This bold statement and confidence. It really does match the female emperor’s aura.” Chen Kexin commented unconsciously.

It took her a few seconds to realize what she had just uttered.

”Sister Kexin’s words weren’t wrong.” Thankfully, she was supported by Li Sheng Xuan, who agreed with her. ”The female emperor role is often the most difficult. One must be fierce and exude a natural dominant aura.”

”Besides the aura, one must be able to capture the scene just by appearing.” Ding Xiao Ying chimed in and added. As much as she didn’t appreciate Evelyn’s behavior, she had to agree that her previous act was mesmerizing.

From start to finish, she had essentially embodied the role of a female emperor and dominated Xu Feng, just as the short drama had intended.

The Xu Clan was going to face many crises as they gradually built up the Vanguard Force. Along the way, the female emperor would either become an enemy or an ally to the Xu Clan.

Seeing how everyone was supportive of her role, Evelyn’s impression of the three vixens had increased slightly.

’At least you know what’s good.’ She thought to herself and cleared her throat.

”My secretary here can also assume the personal bodyguard of the female emperor, assigned to be the messenger of Cool Wind.”

”What?” Being suddenly sold out to the open, Diana’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

”Your salary shall double if you agree, plus triple the overtime fee.” Evelyn yawned.𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

”Miss’s decision has never been wrong.” Instantly, Diana held a solemn expression and agreed with her choice.

”A short drama that includes our participants would surely boost the company’s reputation. It can also help resolve the misunderstandings we have with the Vanguard Guild.” She quickly brought up multiple valid and logical reasons to convince the shareholders—or more specifically, her family.

”Are you the casting director, or am I the director?” Xu Feng frowned.

He wasn’t appreciative of how Evelyn came out of nowhere and took control of the situation.

”How about an increase in budget of 5 million dollars, plus the support of Maleficent Limited to shoot the drama? Any revenue earned will solely be the Vanguard Guild. I only want some small promotion and advertisement of our company’s involvement.” Evelyn offered.

”Hah, am I that kind of person to be tempted by money?” Xu Feng chuckled in amusement.

”You sure know how to see people. It’s a deal!”
