Chapter 491: Yang Chaoyue Leaps: I'm the One Who Stabs Tian Xiwei!

Tian Xiwei, Yang Chaoyue, and Chen Yao all came to the company today.

According to Liu Jie, the company has a large costume drama script, co‑produced with Xinli and Guangxian, with a huge investment.

So Liu Qin called the three over and assigned each of them a role.

These past two years.

Tian Xiwei, Yang Chaoyue, and Chen Yao have changed a lot.

Especially when it comes to Tian Xiwei.

She first emerged from Lin Mo's film, and, to put it bluntly, she is the true first‑generation Mo Girl.

The big hit drama that opened this year is starring her.

Here is the artists' lounge.

Tian Xiwei pushed the door open and saw Yang Chaoyue curled up on the sofa scrolling on her phone, while Chen Yao sat by the window sipping coffee leisurely.

"Yo, Boss Tian is here?" Yang Chaoyue looked up, teasing with a grin, "The lead of a blockbuster drama is just different; now you have to make an appointment to see you, right?"

Tian Xiwei rolled her eyes, tossed her bag onto the sofa, and said, "Cut it out, Yang. Your Top Stream Weibo repost count exceeds that of my entire crew combined. How can I compare with you?"

Chen Yao pursed her lips and smiled, adding, "Can you two hype each other's business and bring me along? Lately I've only done ads and Zongyi Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine; if I don't act soon, my fans will think I've left the circle."

Yang Chaoyue immediately leaned over and put an arm around her shoulder, "Yao, stop being so pretentious, okay? You've worked with so many handsome guys, and now you're nicknamed the male‑god harvester!"

Tian Xiwei fetched a bottle of water from the fridge, unscrewed it, and took a sip, "Getting serious, have you gotten the script for that costume drama Liu Jie mentioned?"

Chen Yao shook her head, "They only said it's an S+ project; Xinli and Guangxian have both bet on it, but the specific roles aren't set yet."

Yang Chaoyue suddenly lowered her voice, "I heard Wang Jie from the publicity team say... the female lead might have a twin‑flower setting."

Tian Xiwei raised an eyebrow, "So the three of us are playing sisters?"

"Or rivals," Chen Yao added dryly, "According to costume drama tropes, one of us is bound to die in the end."

Yang Chaoyue immediately clutched her chest, "Let me state this first—if the script has me stabbing Tian Xiwei, I'll definitely burst out laughing."

Tian Xiwei pretended to grab her neck, "Why should I be the one to die? This year I have the best record; if anyone dies, you two should go down together!"

While they were arguing, Liu Qin pushed the door open, cradling three stacks of scripts, "Having fun? Want me to add a palace‑intrigue subplot for you?"

The three instantly sat up obediently.

Liu Qin handed the scripts to them, "'Phoenix Travels the World', a female‑lead political intrigue plus xianxia drama. Xiao Tian plays a female general, Chen Yao is the saint, and Yang Chaoyue—" she paused, "you play the villainous female National Teacher."

Yang Chaoyue widened her eyes, "I really have to stab Tian Xiwei?!"

Just as Liu Qin was about to explain, the lounge door opened again.

Seeing the newcomer, the three's faces instantly broke into delighted smiles.

That's right, Lin Mo has arrived.

"Senior brother!" Tian Xiwei and Chen Yao shouted in unison.

Yang Chaoyue stood up properly and said, "Hello, Boss!"

Lin Mo had heard the three were at the company, so he came over to take a look.

Mainly because, in the past two years, Lin Mo has been busy pursuing an international path and hasn't really paid attention to these three little ones at the company.

But, you know.

He also learned from Liu Qin that the three are doing very well in the industry now.

After all, they're artists of Morning Light.

Resources are the least lacking.

Not exaggerating, even if you stack scripts, you can still produce a Top Stream rising star.

Lin Mo waved casually, "I heard you three are at the company; it's been a while since I've seen you, so I came by~"

Tian Xiwei was the first to jump up, grinning as she rushed over, "Senior brother! You finally remembered us; I thought you only had Hollywood blond‑haired, blue‑eyed actresses in your eyes~"

Only Tian Xiwei dared to joke like that with Lin Mo.

After all, she's the senior sister of Morning Light.

Yang Chaoyue also rushed over, blinking her big eyes, "Exactly! Boss, you're now harder to book than a Top Stream star; getting a glimpse of you is just impossible!"

Chen Yao stood quietly beside them, a serene smile at the corner of her mouth,

Lin Mo was amused by them, "It's just because work is so busy; you see, whenever I have free time I come to see you."

His gaze fell on the scripts in their hands, and he asked curiously, "I heard you're collaborating on a new drama? What genre?"

Liu Qin smiled and said, "It's a xianxia drama called 'Phoenix Travels the World', and the three of you perfectly complement each other."

Lin Mo took the script and skimmed it quickly; Tian Xiwei seized the chance to stand beside him, pointing to a page, "Senior brother, look, I'm playing a female general this time, finally not a dumb sweet girl!"

"Yo, our Xiao Tian is rebranding, huh?" Lin Mo teased with a smile.

Then Lin Mo saw a villainous female National Teacher in the script and asked Liu Qin, "Who plays this villainous female National Teacher? Xiao Chen or Chaoyue?"

"Me, me, me!" Yang Chaoyue immediately raised both hands, as eager as a student buzzing in class, "Boss, I play the villainous female National Teacher, specifically to stab Tian Xiwei!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Xiwei planted her hands on her hips, glared at her angrily, "Yang Chaoyue! Why does your tone sound so excited?"

"Of course I'm excited!" Yang Chaoyue swayed her head proudly, "I've been waiting for this day for so long; now I can openly bully you!"

And Tian Xiwei, still fuming, turned to Lin Mo to complain, "Senior brother, look at her—this drama hasn't even started filming yet, and she's already showing off!"

Lin Mo watched their bickering and found it unsurprising.

These two often throw barbs at each other in the company chat.

Of course, this doesn't mean their relationship is bad; it's because they're so close that they act like this.

Because they previously co‑starred in a drama.

Since they were in the same company, they quickly became close girlfriends, the kind who specialize in stabbing sister knives.

"Xiao Chen playing the saint is quite fitting," Lin Mo said, turning his gaze to the ever‑quiet smiling Chen Yao.

Chen Yao smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Thank you, Senior brother, but…" she blinked, "I just saw the saint's character design, and it's a bit different from what I imagined!"

"Oh?"

"This saintess appears pure and flawless on the surface, but she's actually black-hearted!"

"Hearing this, Tian Xiwei immediately flared up: 'What?! Then won't my female general be bullied by the two of you teaming up?'"

"Yang Chaoyue put an arm around Chen Yao's shoulders, jumped up excitedly: 'Great! Our villain duo is officially formed!'"

"'It's over, it's over...' Tian Xiwei wore a tearful face: 'Can this script be changed? I feel like this female general is going to die miserably...'"

"The lounge instantly burst into cheerful laughter, and even the usually stern Liu Qin couldn't help laughing out loud."

"It's been a while since we last saw each other, and it's almost lunchtime, so Lin Mo called Re Ba, asking her to come over for a meal."

"The three girls were naturally very happy."
