Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 318 - 317 Your Role is Canceled [Request for Recommendation Tickets]

When Xu Yunxiang felt like he had plunged into an ice cellar, Fang Wanyue was on her way back to the library, dialing the phone number of her best friend, Lin Jingwen, the heiress of the Yuanbo Group.

She was the same girl who had stood at the villa entrance to greet guests with Fang Wanyue during the charity gala that Ge Dongxu had attended last time.

"Oh, isn’t our Miss Fang supposed to personally deliver the good news to Brother Xu today? Why do you have time to call me?" As soon as the call connected, Lin Jingwen’s teasing voice came through.

"Enough, don’t make me sick. That drama your family invested in, change the lead actor," said Fang Wanyue, her brows slightly furrowed.

"What’s wrong, my Miss Fang? Wasn’t it you who insisted on recommending Xu Yunxiang to me? Now that negotiations with him are nearly complete, I specifically wanted you to give him a heads-up today, to make him owe you a favor. Why have you suddenly changed your mind? Did he make you angry?" Lin Jingwen asked, puzzled.

"Forget it. I misread him; his character is no good," Fang Wanyue said.

"Really? Did he get fresh with you? That’s understandable, you know, men... when they can’t control themselves," Lin Jingwen continued to tease, thinking it was just a lovers’ quarrel, not taking it to heart.

"Lin Jingwen, what on earth are you thinking? I’m not in any kind of boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him. I simply appreciated him for his worth, but his behavior today was so disappointing, I don’t want my connection to be the reason he gets ahead for nothing," Fang Wanyue said.

"What exactly did he do to change your opinion of him so suddenly?" Lin Jingwen asked, now realizing that the situation wasn’t so simple and her tone became serious.

"He wouldn’t dare do anything to me, but he offended Ge Dongxu without knowing it, and that made me see his true character. So from now on, he and I have nothing to do with each other," Fang Wanyue declared.

"No way, that’s so ruthless! Wait, Ge Dongxu? You mean the guy who came with your cousin to the charity gala last time and directly bid 500,000 for your turquoise earrings, then returned them to you and vanished without a trace?" Lin Jingwen exclaimed in surprise.

"’That guy,’ ’that guy,’ it’s Ge Dongxu!" Fang Wanyue corrected irritably.

That was her grandfather’s junior brother, after all!

"Okay, okay, so the true love of Miss Fang is still Ge Dongxu. Xu Yunxiang really doesn’t know what’s good for him, offending anyone but him! I got it; I’ll find someone else. These days, it’s hard to find a truly skilled and suitable movie star, but it’s easy to find an idol-type pretty boy," Lin Jingwen laughed.

"Lin Jingwen, I’m warning you seriously once again, you can joke about anyone you want, but you’re not allowed to joke about me and him, or else we can no longer be friends," Fang Wanyue warned angrily as Lin Jingwen took up teasing her about Ge Dongxu again.

"Fine, fine, I won’t joke about you two, but can you at least tell me what kind of background Ge Dongxu has?" Seeing that Fang Wanyue wasn’t joking, Lin Jingwen didn’t dare to continue, but her curiosity was piqued even more.

At the charity gala last time, she had seen Ge Dongxu casually spend 500,000 to bid for the turquoise earrings and return them to Fang Wanyue. Similar jests had been made, but Fang Wanyue had seemed a bit angry, so she didn’t continue to press the issue afterwards. Now, seeing Fang Wanyue change her high regard for Xu Yunxiang so drastically for Ge Dongxu, she couldn’t help but bring up the subject again.

"Don’t ask so many questions. If I could tell you, I would have already told you," Fang Wanyue said.

Of course, Ge Dongxu’s true identity couldn’t be casually revealed, or it would cause an immediate sensation. What Lin Jingwen wanted to know was clearly Ge Dongxu’s real identity.

"Alright, I wonder how long you plan to keep it a secret!" Lin Jingwen said, sounding resigned.

The two best friends chatted for a bit more before hanging up.

After hanging up, Lin Jingwen thought for a moment and called the director of the movie that Yuanbo Group was planning to invest in.

The movie’s production cost wasn’t very high; it could only be considered a medium investment and wasn’t some kind of blockbuster New Year’s film. It was mainly overseen by Lin Jingwen.

In terms of casting, besides a few big-name directors, the real decision-making power often lies with the investors. Of course, under normal circumstances, the investors tend to respect the director’s professional judgment.

Xu Yunxiang was recommended to the director by Lin Jingwen because of Fang Wanyue, and now, for the same reason, Lin Jingwen had to kick him out. When Lin Jingwen made the call, she couldn’t help but picture Ge Dongxu in her mind.

She was really curious about what kind of person Ge Dongxu was to have such a big influence on Fang Wanyue!

Xu Yunxiang wasn’t the male lead, he was more of a secondary male character, plus with the investors speaking up, there was naturally no problem on the director’s end. In fact, the director had even more power to choose his cast.

However, the director knew Xu Yunxiang’s inclusion in the cast had something to do with Miss Fang of the Fang Family, so he still had some reservations and deliberately warned, "If we replace Xu Yunxiang, won’t that upset Miss Fang?"

"It looks like Xu Yunxiang hasn’t stopped mentioning his relationship with Fang Wanyue! Don’t worry, this is Fang Wanyue’s idea," replied Lin Jingwen.

The director was a smart man; upon hearing this, he understood that Xu Yunxiang must have offended Fang Wanyue. Not only would he not be able to use this guy for his current movie, but he also wouldn’t be able to work with him in any future projects.

Fang Wanyue’s father was a leader at the Broadcasting Authority, who just happened to be in charge of the film and television sector! Not to mention her maternal grandfather’s family was one of the most influential families in the capital city.

So, after hanging up with Lin Jingwen, the director immediately dialed Xu Yunxiang’s number.

At the time the director called, Xu Yunxiang was asking Chen Liang about Ge Dongxu’s background.

"Director Wang, hello." Seeing it was the director’s call, Xu Yunxiang gestured for Chen Liang to keep quiet and hurriedly greeted the director with caution.

"Xu, the reason I’m calling is to inform you that we’re canceling your role in the film," Director Wang said.

"Why, Director Wang? Didn’t you tell me this morning that the role of the second male lead was set for me?" Xu Yunxiang’s face changed drastically at the news.

Although he was quite popular now, his foundation was still weak, nowhere near some established stars. Without a few films to accumulate and establish a solid reputation, it was easy to be forgotten, so he valued this film very much.

"That’s something you need to ask yourself. What did you do?" Director Wang sneered before he hung up the phone outright.

"Ask myself?" Xu Yunxiang was completely confused, and then he quickly thought of the incident that had just occurred, his face turning pale.

…

The lakeside path on the campus was shaded by green trees, offering a cool retreat.

Ge Dongxu was taking a walk by the lake with Jiang Lili and three other girls, yet the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Among the three girls, besides Jiang Lili who was slightly better off, the other two kept casting awe-filled glances at Ge Dongxu, not daring to speak, and even Jin Yushan, with her feet hurting so badly she was sweating cold sweat on her forehead, didn’t dare to utter a word, enduring the pain silently.

The scene that had just unfolded had truly frightened them.

They could never have imagined that Ge Dongxu was so powerful that even Miss Fang would cling to his arm and negotiate and plead with him in an almost coquettish manner.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it!

"Jin Yushan, what’s wrong with you? You look a bit pale," Ge Dongxu quickly noticed something was off with Jin Yushan and asked with concern.
