After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1167 - 1164: Give Me a Knife

Listening to Luo Hao, Director Zhang paused, then burst into laughter, "Ah yes, I almost forgot about your protective Qin Zhan. No matter what the outside world says about him, I don’t believe it. He’s a great person; just misunderstood and a bit cold.""Tsk," Luo Hao tilted his head, "Nowadays, there’s no real or fake evaluations."

As he spoke, he looked at Bi Xia. No one understands him... After a long time, he chuckled softly, someone probably understands now...

He crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, "Uncle Zhang, don’t change the topic. Let’s talk about your latest play, is there a role suitable for our Little Nine?"

Director Zhang: ... This topic changed a bit quickly...

Shaking his head with a helpless smile, he waved his hand, "I really am missing an actor right now, but the role is vastly different from what Bi Xia has played, it’s just not suitable for him."

"Missing one?" Luo Hao frowned, "I remember you were missing more than just one actor for that play, wasn’t there one similar to the role Little Nine is playing now? That one would work."

"Hey!" Director Zhang’s eyes widened, "Are you trying to snatch roles now! That role is available, but if you actually let Bi Xia play it, he wouldn’t be able to showcase his true ability. It’d be better not to act at all! Plus, I’ve already given that role to someone else."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hao gave a cold, expressionless laugh, "Oh."

Director Zhang: ... So frustrating!

Director Zhang eventually couldn’t be bothered to argue with Luo Hao and said directly, "If you’d told me earlier or brought Little Nine for me to see, I definitely would’ve considered Little Nine. Even if I had to be thick-skinned, I’d have persuaded her to act. But now the roles are set, and as you know, your Uncle Zhang’s roles get filled quickly, and now there’s nothing I can do, right?"

"Oh," Luo Hao turned away from Director Zhang, casting a cool glance back at him, not as enthusiastic as before, chuckling, "Even if you want our Little Nine to act, we wouldn’t do it. I’ll wait for you to beg us, Uncle Zhang."

Director Zhang: ... Wow, this is really infuriating!

"Alright," Director Zhang waved his hand, "The only role left in my new play is a female one. I can’t give that to Little Nine, can I? How about this, for the next play, I promise I’ll reach out to Little Nine first, what do you say?"

As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, Luo Hao turned around and grinned at him, "Uncle Zhang, you look tired, want some water?"

Director Zhang: ...

Meanwhile, Bi Xia rubbed his nose, frowned, and looked disdainfully at the snowflakes, then turned to Xu Renfei, "Who came up with this script?"

"Me, me," Xu Renfei quickly replied, scratching his head sheepishly, "I just had a bit of an idea, hahaha, don’t praise me, I’ll get embarrassed."

Bi Xia: "...Who’s praising you..."

Xu Renfei: ...

Bi Xia sighed lightly, "Luckily it’s you. I’ve long wanted to critique it, why does it have to snow at this moment? And red snow at that, you could just use some blood effects for the scene, right?"

"...It’s very poignant..."

"Poignant?" Bi Xia looked at Xu Renfei in disbelief, "Brother, this is about a royal decree, a family broken and people dead, not a love tragedy, why the poignancy?"

"And also, how did I even go from being sentenced to death by a royal decree to becoming the Prime Minister? Are you sure this emperor isn’t out of his mind? Knowing I’m a criminal, yet making me his Prime Minister—if he’s not a foolish ruler, who is?"

"Uh...actually what I imagined was... it was the father who issued the decree, and it was the son who made you Prime Minister... that son is your good brother in the story~~~ but you didn’t know his identity at first~"

"..."

"And the emperor will appear in the end too," said Xu Renfei, pointing at himself, "I’m that good brother you accidentally killed, and I’m also the emperor~~~"

Bi Xia: "...Give me a knife."

"What for?"

"To kill you now."

"..."
