42 By Leaps And Bounds

Hui Yin stood up, and all hints of her former expression had completely vanished.

She gazed calmly at the judges, as if she hadn't been lying on the ground only a few seconds ago.

There wasn't even a trace of tears on her eyes.

"..."

Everyone inside the audition room was stunned.

Director Sun smiled.

He had already found the actress that he was looking for. All of his previous reservations had gone, vanished in the blink of an eye.

As a director, he had long since learned to adapt. Although this young actress had been given a D-list ranking, Director Sun fully trusted her acting skills. For someone to completely portray and immerse themselves on a role like that—if that wasn't pure talent, then what was?

Director Sun shook his head and thought to himself that there must have been a reason for her low ranking. It was obvious that just by her looks and skills alone, she should have been advancing by leaps and bounds in the entertainment business.

Hui Yin watched as Director Sun scribbled something, before he looked up at her and said with an expression that was hard to read, "That will be all. We'll call you tomorrow about the results of the audition."

Hui Yin smiled.

"Thank you very much."

As soon as she got out of the audition room, Hui Yin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

That hadn't been too bad, right?

The fact that they didn't immediately kick her out after they had seen her file was a miracle in and of itself.

But maybe her hungry stomach had affected her performance...

Thinking that worrying about it wouldn't help her anyway, Hui Yin flagged down a taxi and went into the nearest noodle restaurant that she could find.

After filling her stomach, she did some grocery shopping first before going home. Since Little Wuji and Baby Shang were going to stay over for the night, she needed to prepare a lot of food for them.

Hui Yin thought that the two of them were too thin. If she didn't feed them right, the two little buns would become two little dumplings instead!

As she was putting the Osmanthus flower jelly on the fridge, her phone by the kitchen counter rang.

Not looking at the caller ID, Hui Yin said, "Hello?"

"Come to the office to sign the contract. Be here at two."

After saying those words, the call was immediately clicked off.

Hui Yin looked at the beeping phone with a sour expression. This tyrant really liked to order her around!

Because she was petty, she stayed for another hour at home, baking delicious mooncakes.

It was already half past three when Hui Yin finally arrived in front of the building of the Lu Corporation.

As she pushed open the glass doors, her low heels clacked softly on the gleaming and spotless marble floor.

Hui Yin was not nervous at all. Though this was her first visit in this life, in truth, it was already her third time coming here.

She remembered how timid she had been back then when she told the receptionist at the front desk that she had an appointment with Lu Shen.

The receptionist had only given her a disdainful look and made her wait at the lobby for nearly two hours.

Yet when Nian Zhen came in five minutes later, the employees had easily recognized her.
