Chapter 37: Visiting Zheng Xiuyan (1)

  Jang Sung-won finally agreed to director Yoon Seok-ho's proposal and decided to play a small role in "Blue Life and Death Love: Autumn Fairy Tale", playing the high school version of Yoon Eun-hee's older brother, with very few shots, possibly only one or two. With Jang Sung-won's current popularity, he could have rejected this proposal without being blamed by the director, but because he suddenly thought of Moon Geun-young, who played the young Yoon Eun-hee, and thought that if he took on this role, he would be able to meet this lovely and lively little sister a few times, so he readily agreed.

  As soon as Zhang Chengyuan walked out of the room, he sincerely congratulated Yuan Bin. Yuan Bin accepted his congratulations with a smile and invited Zhang Chengyuan to have dinner together when he had time, originally it should be an invitation to drink, but Zhang Chengyuan was still underage and couldn't go to a bar. Zhang Chengyuan naturally agreed, without much thought, it could also be seen that Yuan Bin's future was very bright, maybe after playing the role of Han Taixi this time, he would soar to great heights or even fly high.

  Just as they were about to part ways, a stunning woman in her early twenties suddenly appeared, with a clear and elegant face, but an extremely fiery figure. Her height was over 170cm, with slender hands and legs, and perfect proportions; she was almost flawless from head to toe. The only thing that didn't quite fit the traditional aesthetic of Eastern people was her slightly large mouth, but her beautifully shaped lips gave her a unique charm. Although she was an Easterner, she gave off the feeling of being an extremely sexy Western beauty. The woman walked up to Yuan Bin's side and asked softly, "Dào Zhèn Gē (brother Daozhèn), how's the try-on going?"

  Yuan Bin was talking to Zhang Chengyuan and didn't notice the beauty's arrival. At this time, he heard a sound and looked up, exclaiming in surprise: "It's Zhiying! You finished your test early, why are you still here?"

  Zhi Ying said: "I want to know your audition results before leaving, Dao Zhen Ge, how was it?"

  Seeing that the two had something to say, Zhang Chengyuan immediately bid farewell and bowed slightly to both of them before turning around and leaving. Although he only took a few glances at this beautiful woman called "Zhiying", Zhang Chengyuan's impression of her was extremely deep. It seemed that these past few days would be unforgettable for him. If it weren't for the fear of stirring up thoughts that would shake his recently calmed dao heart, he would have liked to get to know her better.

  Just as Zhang Chengyuan walked away, this beautiful woman named Zhiying asked: "Dào Zhèn ge, who is that little handsome guy? Is he your friend?"

  Yuan Bin said: "Today's newly acquainted friend, accompanied me to participate in the audition. Hmm, his matter will be discussed later, how about your female supporting role selection result? Was she selected?"

  Zhi Ying smiled and said, "Yeah, I was lucky to be selected. Although it's just an annoying role, compared to the past, it's still a big step forward. Dao Zhen, let's have dinner together. It's been a while since we last gathered after leaving the acting academy."

  ……

  Jang Sung-won and Park Byung-ryul returned to the car, discussing the results of the audition. Park Byung-ryul couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he still consoled Jang Sung-won with a few words. Seeing that Jang Sung-won wasn't discouraged at all, he asked again about the specific process of the audition. When he heard the director's advice to Jang Sung-won to go and experience romance to improve his acting skills, he nodded in agreement: "The director's words do make some sense. Acting skills come from life experiences, and experiencing various aspects of life is much better than attending acting classes every day. I neglected this point before, which led to your failure this time. However, while it's necessary to experience romance, you must also keep a good balance. You will become a dazzling star sooner or later, so be cautious in the aspect of romance. Don't let it affect your work, and as an actor, keep your personal life low-key, don't make it too public."

  Zhang Chengyuan: "I understand, I won't make it difficult for you." He was deeply grateful to Park Hyeon-ryeol in his heart.

  It was already a long time past lunchtime and both of them were getting hungry, so they casually found a restaurant by the street to fill their stomachs, then parted ways.

  Back at home, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't stop thinking about the director's words. He thought to himself: "It would be a fresh and interesting experience to try romance. But who should he fall in love with?" A string of names and images flashed through his mind - Kim Tae-hee, Lee Hyori, Sung Yuri... It seemed like there were many options, but each one gave him pause for thought. For example, Kim Tae-hee already had a boyfriend, and breaking up someone else's relationship wasn't something a gentleman would do. Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri treated him more like a younger brother; if he acted rashly, not only might it not work out, but it could also hurt their feelings. Yoon Eun-hye was okay, but she was always busy traveling domestically and internationally, and they hardly saw each other a few times a year - how would they have time to develop feelings? Moon Geun-young? They had only met once, and she was too young; it was impossible to consider her. Jung Soo-young? She was even younger, and he wasn't a pervert, so maybe in seven or eight years...

  After thinking for a long time, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't figure out why this was happening. The more he thought about it, the more helpless he felt. It seemed that his troubles had been piling up over time, and his mood could no longer be as carefree as it was in his past life. In his past life, all he needed to think about was how to cultivate, and he didn't need to worry about anything else. Why did he have so many worries now?

  He didn't know how long he had been at home, but suddenly felt a bit stuffy, and Zhang Chengyuan came up with the idea of going out for a stroll. After dressing up, he walked to the intersection, looked around in all directions, but for a moment didn't know where to go. Suddenly, he remembered that he had just talked to Xiaoshuijing on the phone yesterday, and thought that it seemed like half a month since he hadn't visited her sister Zheng Xiuyan, and felt that he should fulfill his promise. So, he headed towards the nearby subway station. From Dalian Station, he took Line 7 of the subway, which took about 30 minutes to arrive at Qingtan Station, then walked for another 10 minutes or so to the entrance of **Entertainment Company. On the way, he bought some street food from a roadside stall and put it in a bag, carrying it in his hand.

  Jang Sung-won has come to the entertainment company five or six times already to check on Jung Soo-yeon's situation. At this time, wearing black-framed glasses and chatting with Uncle Security for a few words, he said that he was Jung Soo-yeon's brother Jang Sung-won, and Uncle Security immediately recognized him. After all, there is no second person like Jang Sung-won who is tall and handsome, has a good temperament, and wears such ugly black glasses among the trainees' relatives.

  After registering the entry and exit records, Zhang Chengyuan sent a box of street food to Security Uncle as usual, and humbly said a few words of gratitude, which made Security Uncle smile and praise him as a polite and kind-hearted good brother.

  As I walked to the entrance of a dance practice room that Zheng Xiuyan often went to, I saw many trainees of different heights practicing various dance moves diligently. This time slot on weekends was when the trainees had free practice, and the instructors usually wouldn't be around to supervise. The order here was maintained by the seniors among the trainees. For the dream of debuting, even without the instructors' supervision, most trainees still worked extremely hard and didn't dare to slack off. Because if they didn't work hard and their abilities improved too slowly, they would usually be eliminated from the company very quickly. A large entertainment company like this one that mass-produced stars wouldn't keep idle people with no prospects around.

  Jang Sung-won scanned the room and found Jung Soo-yeon practicing a dance move in a corner, her originally slender and agile body now seemed somewhat sluggish. Jang Sung-won took a closer look and noticed that Jung Soo-yeon's left ankle seemed to be slightly stiff, affecting the smoothness of the entire dance move, but Jung Soo-yeon continued to jump with great effort, her face still cold as usual, without any signs of pain.
