Chapter 59

"Alright then! But no matter what the result is, you'd better let me know quickly. You know, we have a small budget and can't afford to waste time!" Tang Feng's words made Dong Bingbing inwardly seethe with anger. If it weren't for her good self-control, she would have already slapped the script in Tang Feng's face, letting him cast whomever he wanted. Who did he think she was? Was she that rare?

"I know! If there's nothing else, you can leave!" Dong Bingbing forced herself to suppress the urge to beat Tang Feng up and said coldly.

Hearing this, Tang Feng paused for a moment, inwardly shaking his head. Why did he have to tangle with this demoness? If she really sang that song, wouldn't he really have to act in that web series? That would be a disaster! But he thought that after she saw the song, she would probably back off.

Since the host had already given him the order to leave, Tang Feng naturally wouldn't linger.

After Tang Feng left, Cao Yang asked curiously, "How did he know where you live?"

"Huh?" Dong Bingbing was taken aback for a moment, then said casually, "He lives right across the hall!"

"What? He lives right across the hall?" Cao Yang suddenly stood up, looking at Dong Bingbing in shock.

"Yes, what's the problem? Is there something wrong?" Dong Bingbing looked at Cao Yang in surprise.

"Bingbing, you tell me honestly, are you and him really...?" Cao Yang looked at Dong Bingbing seriously.

"Cao Jie, stop overthinking things, okay? Me and him? Do you think that's possible?" Seeing Cao Yang's changed expression, Dong Bingbing was first taken aback, then guessed what Cao Yang was thinking, and replied with a bitter smile.

"But, how could it be such a coincidence?" Cao Yang thought it was unlikely. After all, she knew Dong Bingbing's schedule very well. She was sure that Dong Bingbing and Tang Feng had no prior connection. Moreover, their social statuses were vastly different. Dong Bingbing had once said that if she were to have a boyfriend, he would definitely be someone better than her. So, in every aspect, Tang Feng didn't seem to be her ideal partner. But she still had some doubts.

"Who should I ask if not you?" Dong Bingbing shrugged.

"Alright! Even if that's the case, what's with the singing thing? Are you hiding something from me?" Cao Yang asked, frowning.

"Oh, you mean that?" Dong Bingbing waved the paper in her hand.

"Thinking about it makes me angry. Cao Jie, you know how many people want to invite me to act, but I don't even consider them. This guy, on the other hand, I lowered myself to offer, and he actually said I'm not suitable for his web series. It really makes me furious! And he said he has a way to prove I'm not suitable. Here's the song. He said I definitely can't sing it. I don't believe that!"

Cao Yang was speechless, her mind filled with confusion. She knew Dong Bingbing's personality well. Although she was very competitive, she wasn't easily provoked. But with Tang Feng, it seemed different. She hoped she was overthinking it.

"Maybe he's doing this not because he's afraid you'll really participate, but because he's afraid you'll change your mind?" Cao Yang said.

"You mean he's doing this on purpose?" Dong Bingbing was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't think so. If that were the case, his acting skills would have to be better than mine!"

"Whatever, I want to see what makes him so confident that you can't sing his song!" Dong Bingbing said, spreading out the paper to read.

Although Dong Bingbing's major was acting, she wasn't unfamiliar with singing. She wasn't a professional singer, but she wasn't completely clueless either.

But after just a few glances, she was stunned. For a moment, she really believed Tang Feng's words. This song was... too challenging for her!

Seeing Dong Bingbing's stunned expression, Cao Yang couldn't help but become curious and leaned in to look at the song.

After a moment, Cao Yang's expression also became strange. She wasn't a professional musician, so she couldn't judge the quality of the song, but even without being a professional, just looking at the lyrics, she could feel how odd the song was.

"Bingbing, even though I don't understand the music, just looking at the lyrics, I believe Tang Feng's words. You really aren't suitable!" Cao Yang couldn't help but feel a bit better about Tang Feng. If he was just trying to provoke her, he probably wouldn't have chosen such a song.

But Dong Bingbing remained silent, lowering her head to read the song a few more times. Then, a charming smile appeared on her lips. She looked up and said, "Cao Jie, this song is really interesting!"

"Bingbing, the lyrics are indeed interesting, but they don't fit your style at all!" Cao Yang advised.

"My style? Yes, everyone thinks my acting style is already set, right? Others probably think I can only play high-class, cold, and beautiful roles, right?" Dong Bingbing said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Bingbing, you can't be serious about singing this song, right? No way, absolutely not!" Cao Yang hurriedly said. The idea of the queen-like Dong Bingbing singing such a bizarre song was unimaginable.

"Why not? Why should I only play those high-class roles? You used to say it was to give me a clear image, but I've already won the Best Actress award. If I keep playing the same type of high-class, cold, and beautiful roles, do you think I'll have a chance to advance further?" Dong Bingbing countered.

"Well... But, Bingbing, even if you want to change your style, it doesn't have to be like this. It doesn't have to be a web series. Those short web series are just small-time stuff. With your status, acting in something that isn't considered a proper drama, don't you think the risk is too high?" Cao Yang persisted.

"Risk? What doesn't have risk? And who says web series can't succeed? You might think I'm being irrational, but I think this could be an opportunity for me. Maybe I, Dong Bingbing, participating in a low-budget web series will be criticized by the media, but I think my fans might like to see a different side of me," Dong Bingbing said.

"You don't even know what kind of web series he's making, and you're already planning to participate. That's a big risk. And that song... I can't even imagine what would happen if you really sang it! Bingbing, it's not easy for you to get to where you are today. Think carefully before you act!" Cao Yang earnestly advised.

"Cao Jie, no need to think anymore! I've decided! I'm singing this song," Dong Bingbing said firmly.

"You... Sigh!" Seeing Dong Bingbing's determination, Cao Yang knew further persuasion was futile and sighed.

"However, that guy gave me such a difficult song, thinking I can't sing it. This time, not only will I sing it, but he wants a live audition, right? I'll go too. Cao Jie, contact the Youdou Show for me. Since I've decided to participate in his web series, I might as well add some fuel to the fire. And that guy is too despicable; this can't just end like this," Dong Bingbing said decisively.

"What do you plan to do?" Cao Yang couldn't help but ask curiously.
