âIâm right here. Why didnât you ask me directly if you two are curious?â Ye Shengge smiled. âSenior Lan thinks itâs degrading to go for the same interview as me. Why didnât you just reject the interview to show your stance?â
Ye Shengge said those words in fluent Spanish. Her voice was pleasant, and her accent was light.
Both Lan Cen and Ada were shocked.
After all, they were certain that Ye Shengge didnât understand what they were talking about, and that was the reason why the felt at ease b*tching about her. Now, they felt like they had been slapped in the face when they realized Ye Shengge could understand them.
However, Lan Cen had been famous for many years, and she had a high status in the entertainment world, so she couldnât stand Ye Shengge being rude.
âYou really donât know where you stand.â She reprimanded with an air of superiority, finally stripping away the pretense of using western language. âIâm speaking with Ada. Since when was there any room for a newcomer like you to interrupt?â
âHow can I pretend not to hear it when the two of you are talking about me?â Ye Shengge smiled. âBesides, no matter how inexperienced I am, I do know that bad mouthing others is due to a lack of proper upbringing.â
Lan Cen was furious. She pointed at her and said, âDo you believe that I can make you go back home now?â
Ye Shengge immediately stopped being aggressive and sighed, âSenior Lan, I have nothing more to say if you want to kick me out because youâre worried about beating a newcomer like me.â
Lan Cen stared at her in disbelief.
âYou...â She smiled.â You are quite good with words huh. Itâll indeed look as if Iâm afraid of you if I were to chase you away! â
âYou should be afraid, Senior Lan,â Ye Shengge said with a smile. âWhy do you think Iâm on Director Chenâs list? When has Director Chen ever given face to the rich and powerful?â
Lan Cen was about to faint.
Ada frowned upon hearing that. She saw Ye Shenggeâs eyes glowing and felt that the woman was plotting something.
âDonât lower yourself to her level, Cen...â Ada persuaded.
However, Lan Cen had always been a hot-tempered person, so she couldnât take it anymore. Coincidentally, a staff member pushed open the door and said, âMr. Lan, Teacher Chu has left. Director Chen wants to see you.â
âPerfect timing.â Lan Cen pointed at Ye Shengge. âI want to have an interview together with her.â
The staff member was dazed. âThatâs not in line with the rules...â
âItâll save Director Chen some time.â Lan Cen sneered and stood up. âItâll be easier to tell the gulf in standards between two us!â
The staff member was rendered speechless. He looked at Ye Shengge and said, âWhatâs your take, Ms. Ye?â
âIsnât that inappropriate?â Ye Shengge looked awkward.
âAre you afraid now?â Lan Cen sneered.
âIâm just worried that youâll be embarrassed, Senior Lan,â Ye Shengge replied sincerely.
âGo tell Director Chen that I want to be interviewed together with that woman,â Lan Cen said to the staff member, pointing at Ye Shengge.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The staff member had to ask Director Chen for his opinion. He returned two minutes later and said, âDirector Chen has agreed. Ms. Lan, Ms. Ye, this way please.â
Lan Cen lifted her chin and eyed Ye Shengge contemptuously. She then strode off in her high heels.
Ye Shengge smiled and followed behind her.
Ada frowned and followed after.
