n“Oh, right.” Shocked by Jiang Xun’s talent in acting, Deng Xu had forgotten that people were still waiting in line for auditions.

nAfter watching Jiang Xun’s performance, Deng Xu was a little bored and couldn’t muster up the energy to watch others’ performances.

nEven the acting skills of the male and female lead were inferior to Jiang Xun’s.

n“Go and get the next one,” Deng Xu said as he sat back down with Screenwriter Ma.

nThe assistant took the name list to the next room and called for Jiang Yuexi.

nYuexi saw that the assistant’s hands were empty, so she asked, “Don’t I need to wear a costume?”

n“No, it’s just an audition.” The assistant smiled.

nIt was obvious that Yuexi was a newcomer and inexperienced.

nSo many people came to audition, and each of them was wearing a costume. It was a waste of time.

n“But I saw that Jiang Xun wore a costume earlier,” Yuexi said and saw Jiang Xun walking toward her.

nJiang Xun had already changed back into her clothes and removed her makeup.

n“Teacher Jiang.” The assistant saw Jiang Xun and quickly greeted her again.

nJiang Xun smiled and said, “You don’t have to address me like that. I’m a newbie who doesn’t know anything. I can’t be a teacher.”

nJiang Xun was very polite when it came to non-professional matters.

nThe assistant smiled but didn’t reply.

nHe still had to address her like that.

n“I’ll leave now. Bye,” Jiang Xun said politely.

n“Bye.” The assistant responded and then said to Yuexi, “Teacher Jiang is going to take a cast photo. Her role has already been decided.”

nYuexi was surprised. Did she want to film together with Jiang Xun?

nBefore she had time to think, the assistant pushed the door open and let Yuexi in.

nDeng Xu looked at Yuexi’s resume and looked up. “You want to try out Bi Yuexi’s role?”

n“Yes.” Yuexi wanted to try out the role of Yu Hengjun, but she couldn’t get it.

n“Bi Yuexi’s role is already filled,” Deng Xu said. “You can try out Zhao Yue’er, the courtesan.”

nYuexi didn’t want to play Zhao Yue’er.

nThis role had fewer scenes, and nothing was outstanding about it.

nAlthough she still had appearances after Bi Yuewu, she was far less outstanding than Bi Yuewu.

n“Director, may I ask to whom Bi Yuewu’s role has been given?” She wanted to fight for it.

n“It’s given to Jiang Xun.” Deng Xu didn’t care. There was nothing that he couldn’t reveal about it.

n“As far as I know, Jiang Xun is only an influencer. She has no acting experience and has never studied acting,” Yuexi said. “Director, I am a serious student of the National Drama Academy. I think I can act better than Jiang Xun. Can you let me try? I still want to fight for the role of Bi Yuewu.”

nKnowing that Jiang Xun had won the role of Bi Yuewu, Yuexi had to think of a way to snatch it from her.

nJiang Xun was an influencer. She did not know what acting was, so what right did she have to snatch her role?

n“Alright.” Deng Xu did not care. What he wanted to see was whether Yuexi’s acting was good or not. No matter what role Yuexi wanted to play, as long as she acted it out, he would be able to judge her acting skills.

nShe would not be given any role if her acting skills were not good.

nDeng Xu then asked Yuexi to perform the scene that Jiang Xun had just done.

nScreenwriter Ma didn’t mind it being too big of a deal. “Director, why don’t we ask the male actor from before?”

n“Since they’re acting in the same scene, the male actor from before was so scared by Jiang Xun that he fell on his butt,” Screenwriter Ma said softly. “This time, we’ll ask the male actor to reenact the scene. We’ll see how he reacts.”

n“Sure.” Deng Xu nodded. Screenwriter Ma was brilliant.

nDeng Xu’s assistant said nothing.

n‘You two are really mean.’

nSo, the assistant called the male actor over and asked him to do the same scene again.

nThis time, the male actor was not scared at all. He did not even see a hint of murderous intent in Yuexi’s eyes.

nIncluding the later parts of the lines, Yuexi’s performance was far worse than Jiang Xun’s.

nThe actor completely outshone Yuexi’s performance.

nThe actor’s confidence, which Jiang Xun had just hit, returned.

nIt turned out that it was not that he could not do it but that the acting partner was talented.

nDeng Xu and Screenwriter Ma were even more bored watching the scene unfold.

nIt was like having a king lobster seafood feast. After having tasted the greatest, they couldn’t even swallow steamed buns with pickled vegetables.

n“That’s enough.” Deng Xu stopped them.

nHe really couldn’t watch anymore. He didn’t want to waste time.

n“I think Bi Yuewu’s role is still unsuitable for you,” Deng Xu said. “We will inform you if there are any other suitable roles.”

nWhat he meant was that Yuexi’s acting was not good enough. She couldn’t even get the role of the courtesan, Zhao Yue’er.

nYuexi went out and saw her assistant coming up to her. She said lividly, “Go away!”

nShe would ask Jiang Chengye to deal with this. The role of Bi Yuewu was still hers!

nInitially, she wanted the role of Yu Hengjun.

nBut since Jiang Xun wanted to play Bi Yuewu, she would snatch the role of Bi Yuewu no matter what.

nJiang Xun didn’t care about Yuexi. Even if Yuexi was chosen, it didn’t matter if she was really in the same project as her.

nShe had never taken Yuexi seriously.

nAfter leaving the audition venue, she headed straight to the airport and returned to campus.

nJiang Xun returned to the dormitory.

nThe city was very dusty. After just one day of absence, her desk was covered with a thin layer of dust.

nWhen Jiang Xun tidied up her desk, she saw the invitation letter she had long forgotten about.

nJiang Xun took a photo and sent it to Mufeng. “I received this invitation letter. Did you ask someone to send it?”

nHowever, she didn’t expect Mufeng to call her directly.

nJiang Xun didn’t know what was wrong with her either. She was inexplicably nervous when she answered Mufeng’s call.

nShe wouldn’t have felt like this in the past.

nShe picked up the call. “Hello?”

n“I didn’t ask anyone to send you the invitation.” Mufeng explained, “My second uncle and second aunt set up the foundation. It has nothing to do with the Qin family. Besides, they are not kind and are very snobbish. So I am skeptical about their purpose in sending you the invitation. “I suggest you don’t go, but it’s your decision.”

n“There are many things about it to be praised,” Jiang Xun praised herself without hesitation.

nMufeng didn’t feel that anything was wrong when he heard that. He even agreed. “Yes.”

nShe was indeed without any shortcomings.

n“…” Jiang Xun suddenly felt a little embarrassed to continue speaking when he was so cooperative. “One of them is being very curious.”

nMufeng chuckled and heard Jiang Xun say, “I want to go and see what they’re up to.”

n“Okay.” Mufeng nodded, “I have an important client to meet that night. I’ll try my best to rush over as soon as possible. “If they bullied you before I arrive, you don’t have to be nice to them. It doesn’t matter if you make a scene at the banquet. I’ll take care of the rest.”

nNo one had ever said such a thing to Jiang Xun.

nNot in her two lifetimes.

nShe could stir trouble. Other things would be taken care of, so she didn’t have to worry about anything else.
