The producer, who was with He Lingxiang, looked especially haggard. After presiding over the audition the entire morning, he had aesthetic fatigue, so when he saw a natural beauty standing before him, he was quickly enticed.
"Oh, my. This girl is pretty! What's your name?"
He Lingxiang shifted his gaze to her. She was indeed beautiful, but she was detached and aloof. She completely ignored them, as if they were transparent, despite them being next to her.
Yun Shishi turned to walk away. The producer's attempt to chat her up failed miserably, which irked him greatly. He tried to catch her arm to stop her from leaving, but she deftly avoided him and walked away without looking back.
She did not want to have any interaction with He Lingxiang. The man was too evil, so it was best to steer clear of him.
He Lingxiang snorted and commented acerbically, "Hmph! That girl has some guts!"
The producer rubbed it in. "That girl must be here for the audition. Naïve and inexperienced, she doesn't know the rules at all, does she? How dare she act high and mighty before you, Director He!"
He ignored the comment. The girl had now piqued his interest. He strode over and caught her by the arm. "Miss, I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?"
"That's right! You have to learn to be respectful, missy," the producer added with some annoyance.
What a hypocrite!
"Shishi, ignore him. He doesn't seem like a good guy."
Unknowingly, her name made his eyes brighten in an instant!
"Shishi," He Lingxiang muttered her name a few times. He tightened his grip on her arm. "Missy, you have the looks and qualities. Why don't you try auditioning? You may be the next female lead!"
Yun Shishi retorted with much disinterest, "Thank you for your interest, but I am only average and can't enter the eyes of the directors."
She was alarmed when she heard that. He clasped her arm so tightly that she could not move away. Annoyed and ashamed, she raised her voice slightly, "… Let me go!"
"Missy, I'm being polite. Are you going to be this rude to me?" he asked, his tone turning cold and threatening.
Xiao Xue was antagonized by his aggressive stance. She walked toward him with much displeasure but was quickly stopped by Yun Shishi. "No, don't. They are not simple folks. You'll get into trouble."
