Chapter 70 Kim Tae-yeon: I've been cheated on?
The following morning, June 3rd, marked one month since Chen Ran and Jessica began living together.
"Jessica, is there something on my face?"
On a street in Seoul, Kim Tae-yeon, who was drinking breakfast milk in the back seat of a van, finally couldn't help but look up and ask a question.
Since she left the house, Jessica Jung has been secretly glancing at her countless times.
Moreover, she felt that Jessica Jung's gaze towards her was a bit strange, as if she felt somewhat guilty.
What does "guilt" mean? Did she do something to wrong herself?
Jessica Jung, who was caught red-handed in the front row, was startled and quickly forced a smile, trying to come up with an excuse.
"Ah...you don't have anything on your face. I just thought your breakfast milk looked pretty good, so I wanted to ask if it tastes good."
She couldn't very well tell Kim Tae-yeon that she felt inexplicably guilty because she seemed to have accidentally stolen her future boyfriend.
Well...
Kim Tae-yeon gestured to the breakfast milk in her hand: "It tastes pretty good. There's still some in the dorm. I'll get it for you to try when we get back."
"Okay."
Jessica Jung agreed, and Taeyeon smiled at her before turning her head away.
Behind her, Kim Tae-yeon frowned as she looked at her.
How could she possibly believe Jessica Jung's explanation about breakfast milk?
Jessica Jung's acting skills are about the same as hers.
Something's not right. Jessica Jung is definitely hiding something from her.
And most of the time it's something that made them feel guilty.
but...
What could she possibly do to betray herself?
She doesn't have a boyfriend, so she wouldn't have the chance to cheat on her.
Kim Tae-yeon shook her head, dispelling the somewhat absurd and ridiculous thought.
That's completely impossible. Sika isn't that kind of person.
But... what could Jessica possibly do to betray herself besides her feelings?
Kim Tae-yeon's two exquisitely drawn eyebrows furrowed slightly as she fell into deep thought.
In the front row, Jessica Jung pursed her lips tightly, not daring to look at Tae-yeon Kim anymore.
That's so embarrassing!
It's all that old woman Jessica's fault!
Why did you have to say something like "Don't let Taeyeon beat you to it"?
But then again...
Since that woman said that, it means that Taeyeon will fall in love with Chen Ran in the future.
To some extent, I did steal the person Taeyeon liked.
Jessica Jung sighed inwardly.
I'm sorry, Taeyeon, I didn't mean to.
Hmm... should I be more careful around Taeyeon from now on?
If the phenomenon of spacetime connection disappears one day, then Jessica will naturally disappear as well.
So strictly speaking, his only potential rival is Taeyeon.
Although Taeyeon hasn't shown any sign of liking Chen Ran, we still have to be careful.
But will the phenomenon of spacetime connections really disappear?
If she doesn't disappear, wouldn't she have a high chance of losing to that old woman Jessica?
Jessica Jung frowned and fell into deep thought.
---
It was a little after nine in the morning.
Chen Ran drove to the SBS building and easily found his way to the conference room where he had been auditioning for the past few days.
No one auditioned today; only a few key members of the production team will discuss the casting of the main roles.
Chen Ran walked into the conference room, where director Li Yingfu and producer Jiang had already arrived.
Seeing Chen Ran arrive, Li Yingfu stood up with a smile: "Little Ran is here."
Chen Ran returned the courtesy of a junior: "Brother Yingfu."
After spending these few days together, he and Li Yingfu have become much closer.
The producer next to him did not get up, but smiled at Chen Ran when he looked over.
Chen Ran, naturally, wouldn't hit someone who's smiling, so he returned the smile.
Not long after the three sat down, the conference room door opened again, and a representative from HD Company and a middle-aged man walked in together.
Chen Ran and the other two stood up to greet him. Yin Helin walked over and patted Chen Ran on the shoulder with a smile.
As for the middle-aged man, he was a deputy director of SBS Television.
The group greeted each other and then took their seats.
As soon as Chen Ran sat down, Yin Helin leaned over and whispered in his ear:
"The deputy director who came is Chang-ho's old rival. Producer Kang is also one of his men. Park Se-young's agency also has close ties with this deputy director."
Chen Ran raised an eyebrow.
Oh, so you're from the opposing camp. No wonder.
His film "School 2013" was initiated by Lee Chang-ho, so he was naturally categorized as part of Lee Chang-ho's camp.
Yin Helin continued, "But you don't need to worry about anything. Just say whatever comes to mind. This is our company's script, and you are the screenwriter."
These words reassured Chen Ran, the subtext being that he would support her.
"I understand, thank you, Representative Yin."
Chen Ran thanked him, already understanding the situation.
Yin Helin smiled and said nothing more.
Actually, it wasn't just to support Chen Ran.
The fact that the deputy director and producer Jiang planned to pre-select actors without prior consultation is already a violation of the rules.
Moreover, he does have a deeper friendship with Lee Chang-ho.
With everyone present, the next step was naturally to discuss and decide on the actors.
The people present were in complete agreement on the casting of the male and female leads, as well as the two second male leads.
The male lead, Kang Se-chan, is played by actor Kang Daniel.
The female lead, Jung In-jae, is played by actress Jang Nara.
The two second male leads are played by Lee Jong-suk and Kim Woo-bin, respectively.
As expected, disagreements arose when it came to the second female lead.
Producer Kang said, "Our station feels that Park Se-young would be more suitable to play the second female lead, Song Ha-kyung."
Chen Ran didn't rush to refute. He interlaced his fingers, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the other person.
"What are the specific reasons for recommending Park Se-young?"
"First of all, as I mentioned during the interview, the acting skills of Park Se-young and Jung Soo-jung are not that different, so it won't affect the overall quality of the script."
"Secondly, Park Se-young is a full-time actress, but Jung Soo-jung is not. As a popular member of the girl group f(x), there is a high probability that there will be conflicts between group or individual activities and the filming schedule of the drama crew."
"In other words, Krystal Jung cannot dedicate herself to filming on set as wholeheartedly as Park Se-young, and we are worried that this will affect the filming progress to some extent."
Interestingly, when Producer Jiang said these words, his eyes were fixed on Yin Helin, who was standing next to Chen Ran.
Throughout this, Yin Helin smiled and nodded after he finished speaking, then turned to look at Chen Ran.
"Xiao Ran, what do you think?"
Upon seeing this, Producer Jiang's expression changed slightly, Director Li Yingfu's eyes flickered, and even the deputy director next to him raised an eyebrow.
I thought that since Yin Helin was here today, he would naturally be the one to make the decisions, but I didn't expect Yin Helin to respect Chen Ran's opinion so much.
Isn't this young man named Chen Ran a novice screenwriter with no achievements?
He is a Chinese person with no background in the film and television industry.
How could he be so highly regarded by Yin Helin?
Little did anyone know that Yoon Ha-rim valued Chen Ran so highly because of a conversation he had with Kim Eun-sook a few days earlier.
Kim Eun-sook's original words at the time were:
"He Lin, Xiao Ran is a very talented young man. His future achievements will definitely not be below mine, and may even far surpass mine."
