From Sidekick to Bigshot

When it was lunchtime, Mo Shiyun and Zhu Sha ran into Jian Yiling and Hu Jiaojiao at the cafeteria.

It was quite normal for them to run into each other as they were in the same school.

Typically, they could have eaten separately. They didn’t have to meddle with each other.

However, Zhu Sha didn’t want to miss an opportunity where she could give Jian Yiling a hard time.

And thus, Zhu Sha deliberately pulled Mo Shiyun over and sat down in the seat next to Jian Yiling.

Then, she started to talk loudly to Mo Shiyun about her new role in the drama:

“Shiyun! I heard that the investor behind the web drama you’re going to shoot soon is very powerful. Is that true? Furthermore, I heard that there’s going to be several big names in that drama!”

Zhu Sha deliberately amplified her voice so that all the students around her could hear. She especially wanted Jian Yiling to hear.

Sure enough, many of the students’ attention was drawn to Zhu Sha.

Everyone saw that there was not only Mo Shiyun seated there, Jian Yiling was also seated there.

This was quite a bizarre scene. As of recent, the two most talked about girls of Shenghua High School were seated close to one another.

And what Zhu Sha was talking about was exactly what everyone thought Jian Yiling and Mo Shiyun were fighting over recently.

Zhu Sha continued to talk to Mo Shiyun: “Shiyun! Tell me about the other actors that will be in that drama with you! I’m dying to hear about it!”

Jian Yiling and Jupiter had merely been in a short music video together. Even if the video was a mere few minutes long, people had been chasing Jian Yiling for days. They wanted to know more details about the four members of Jupiter.

And now, Mo Shiyun was going to be in a drama with so many famous actors. She was going to be in the same studio as them for months on end. This meant that she would have much more contact time with famous celebrities than Jian Yiling!

“I haven’t met them yet,” Mo Shiyun answered. She didn’t dare to say too much. She had only briefly seen those individuals when she went to the audition. In fact, she hadn’t even spoken to them. And thus, she didn’t want to boast or talk about it that much.

“Oh, that’s fine! You’re going to talk to them sooner or later. The lead male actor in your drama is incredibly popular right now! I just went to check out his Weibo. He has more than five million followers!”

Zhu Sha’s tone was incredibly exaggerated. Her expression was also filled with astonishment and envy.

“Ahh, yeah.” Mo Shiyun replied. She didn’t like the way that Zhu Sha was talking. Deliberately showing off would make it seem like they were cheap.

However, when she saw Jian Yiling out of the corner of her eye, her mind wavered a little.

And thus, although she didn’t follow suit with Zhu Sha, she didn’t stop Zhu Sha from continuing to talk about it in the cafeteria either.

Zhu Sha continued to ‘discuss’ Mo Shiyun’s new drama. “I heard that your drama is based on a novel with the same name! It has a huge fan base! Although it hasn’t yet been aired, it’s already been searched so many times! It’s one of the hottest topics right now.”

The surrounding students couldn’t help but cast sympathetic glances at Jian Yiling.

Originally, they all assumed that Jian Yiling would get the role and officially start her career in the entertainment industry.

They hadn’t expected Mo Shiyun to succeed before Jian Yiling.

Hu Jiaojiao and Jian Yiling weren’t interested in the things that Zhu Sha was talking about. However, Zhu Sha’s voice was so loud. She was also seated right next to them. Due to these two factors, it was hard to not listen to Zhu Sha’s words.

In Hu Jiaojiao’s heart, she couldn’t help but tell herself that the four members of Jupiter had more than 30 million followers on Weibo. That number was much more than a mere 5 million.

However, Hu Jiaojiao was quite scared to make such a comment in public. And thus, she could only mutter to herself in her heart.

On the other hand, Jian Yiling didn’t care too much about Zhu Sha’s words. She just felt that the people next to her were just noisy.

At this moment, the official blog of the drama where Mo Shiyun had taken up her new role had updated its status:

[Change in the Cast. Original Third Female Lead Replaced by the Rising Star Yun Wei.]

The official blog had also posted a photo of Yun Wei.
