“I’m right here. Why didn’t you ask me directly if you two are curious?” Ye Shengge smiled. “Senior Lan thinks it’s degrading to go for the same interview as me. Why didn’t you just reject the interview to show your stance?”
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 didn’t 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 couldn’t stand Ye Shengge being rude.
“You really don’t know where you stand.” She reprimanded with an air of superiority, finally stripping away the pretense of using western language. “I’m speaking with Ada. Since when was there any room for a newer like you to interrupt?”
“How can I pretend not to hear it when the two of you are talking about me?” Ye Shengge smiled. “Besides, no matter how inexperienced I am, I do know that bad mouthing others is due to a lack of proper upbringing.”
Lan Cen was furious. She pointed at her and said, “Do you believe that I can make you go back home now?”
Ye Shengge immediately stopped being aggressive and sighed, “Senior Lan, I have nothing more to say if you want to kick me out because you’re worried about beating a newer like me.”
Lan Cen stared at her in disbelief.
“You…” She smiled.” You are quite good with words huh. It’ll indeed look as if I’m afraid of you if I were to chase you away! ”
“You should be afraid, Senior Lan,” Ye Shengge said with a smile. “Why do you think I’m on Director Chen’s list? When has Director Chen ever given face to the rich and powerful?”
Lan Cen was about to faint.
Ada frowned upon hearing that. She saw Ye Shengge’s eyes glowing and felt that the woman was plotting something.
“Don’t lower yourself to her level, Cen…” Ada persuaded.
However, Lan Cen had always been a hot-tempered person, so she couldn’t take it anymore. Coincidentally, a staff member pushed open the door and said, “Mr. Lan, Teacher Chu has left. Director Chen wants to see you.”
“Perfect timing.” Lan Cen pointed at Ye Shengge. “I want to have an interview together with her.”
The staff member was dazed. “That’s not in line with the rules…”
“It’ll save Director Chen some time.” Lan Cen sneered and stood up. “It’ll be easier to tell the gulf in standards between two us!”
The staff member was rendered speechless. He looked at Ye Shengge and said, “What’s your take, Ms. Ye?”
“Isn’t that inappropriate?” Ye Shengge looked awkward.
“Are you afraid now?” Lan Cen sneered.
“I’m just worried that you’ll be embarrassed, Senior Lan,” Ye Shengge replied sincerely.
“Go tell Director Chen that I want to be interviewed together with that woman,” Lan Cen said to the staff member, pointing at Ye Shengge.
The staff member had to ask Director Chen for his opinion. He returned two minutes later and said, “Director Chen has agreed. Ms. Lan, Ms. Ye, this way please.”
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.
