Title: The Female Supporting Character Ran Off With The Bun
Translator: Fringe Capybara
Chapter 30 - Wasn’t the worst idea (3)
In addition, Cheng Huan did not pressure all the directors in the field to squash Chi Ying before her debut.
She was very appreciative of Director Gu. He had provided her with the opportunity for an audition as well as the opportunity to make mistakes.
Zhao Wan, as though sensing something, stuck her head over and read what was on her screen. Her eyes widened slightly.
The very next second, she ripped the phone out of Chi Ying’s hand and shouted out loudly, “Dang! Ying! You got the role! That’s so amazing!”
Zhao Wan sat close to the walkway today and Xiao Hang, walking passed her, looked down at her and asked, “Got what role?”
Zhao Wan didn’t realize it was Xiao Hang who was talking to her. Still with Chi Ying’s phone in her hand, she excitedly announced, “A role in Gu YuanChen’s movie!”
Xiao Hang smiled slightly and said, “That’s pretty good. Congratulations.”
Zhao Wan finally realized that the voice was both familiar and pleasant to the ears. She looked up and saw the face of a handsome young man. She covered her mouth in surprise. “Xiao Hang!”
The popular little fresh meat! One who has 5 million fans on the internet!
“Don’t, don’t, don’t congratulate me. Congratulate her!” Zhao Wan was stuttering. She nudged Chi Ying. She hasn’t checked her own email yet, but she has a pretty good idea of where her level was as well as her ability to act ad hoc. When it came to 1 in 100, she didn’t really stand a chance.
The news has not yet sunk in with Chi Ying. She was still in a trance. Turning around slowly, she met Xiao Hang’s gaze and was also surprised. Then, with a soft tone, she said, “Oh, thank you.”
Xiao Hang’s look deepened a bit, and his lips curved upward.
Anywhere Xiao Hang went would naturally become the center of attention. A lot of the girls looked over to where he was.
Tan Ke had overheard their conversation as well. She waited purposefully for Xiao Hang to walk away before she asked, “Gu YuanChen’s movie?”
Seeing that it was Tan Ke, Zhao Wan was complacent. “Yes, Gu YuanChen. The one that took the top box office spot – director of ‘Time’. That Gu YuanChen.”
Of course, Tan Ke was well aware of Gu YuanChen’s importance in the director circle. She felt instant jealousy. “The role of the protagonist?”
Zhao Wan made a face at her. “Even if it’s the role of a supporting character, why don’t you go and get one huh, ex-department flower.”
“Alright, WanWan.” Chi Ying tugged at Zhao Wan’s sleeve. She appreciated WanWan speaking up for her, but she wouldn’t want WanWan to be negatively impacted because of her. Tan Ke was rumored to come from a somewhat powerful family.
Zhao Wan’s words hit Tan Ke where it hurt the most. The atmosphere became awkward all of a sudden, and everybody quieted down. The classroom was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
A mischievous look flashed through Tan Ke’s eyes. A moment later, she said with contempt, “Oh, I remember it now. That was the opportunity recommended by Sung QingFeng, right? Who knows what Chi Ying had offered him for that.”

Translator’s Rambling:
Last time I used the term “twink” and it had sparked a lot of discussion. Evidently the Chinese internet buzz word Little Fresh Meat had already made its way into our beloved and most trust source of truth – Wikipedia.
