Chapter 549: 258 Change of Ownership (Second Update)

Ye Zhen picked up the pen and began to fill out the form seriously.

“Lan Huixin...” The staff member read out the last name on the list.

“Is Lan Huixin here?” The staff member picked up the pen, ready to cross off the name.

A good actor puts great importance on basic qualities, and punctuality is the most important.

What a pity to miss such a good opportunity, the staff member sighed in their heart.

“I’m here.” Lan Huixin hurriedly came over. “Hello, I’m Lan Huixin. Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, and it delayed me.”

The school was quite far from here. She had left at five o’clock in the morning, only to be late.

Seeing her flushed cheeks and slight sweat on her forehead, the staff member could tell she was in a rush on this cold winter morning.

The staff handed her the form and pen: “Good luck.”

Any of these girls could be the future movie queen.

Lan Huixin quickly thanked the staff member and went to the side with the pen.

Li Tingting rushed over anxiously: “What about me?”

The staff member looked at her suspiciously: “What’s your name?”

“My name is Li Tingting, and I was introduced by Mr. Wu.”

The staff member glanced over the list again and shook their head: “I’m sorry, but your name isn’t on the audition list. Unauthorized people cannot stay here, so you’d better leave as soon as possible.” The staff member turned and walked away.

Li Tingting was stunned. How could her name not be on the list? She rushed in front of the staff member and said, “That’s impossible. Mr. Wu introduced me. How could my name not be here? You can ask Mr. Wu if you don’t believe me.”

The staff member looked at her determined eyes, unsure what to do. Since there were various behind-the-scenes interests for these actresses, he decided to make a call: “Please wait, I’ll call and ask.”

The staff member walked to the side with his phone to make a call. Li Tingting glanced at Lan Huixin, who was filling out the form with her back against the wall.

She suddenly remembered the form Lan Huixin filled out on the computer last night. She was already preparing then. Li Tingting had never seen such a scheming woman.

Wu Chao was close by and overheard the conversation. “Li Tingting? I don’t know her. Tell her clearly... never mind, I’ll go out and handle it myself.”

Wu Chao saw Li Tingting and frowned. “I’m Mr. Wu. You said I introduced you here? Sorry, but I don’t know you. Taking shortcuts won’t work. Please leave as soon as possible.”

Li Tingting’s face turned pale. She knew she had been deceived, but she didn’t want to admit it.

“No... Mr. Wu, please give me a chance, please? I will perform well.”

Wu Chao frowned, waved his hand impatiently, “Security, take this troublemaker away.”

“Mr. Wu, please give me a chance. I won’t let you down...” Li Tingting was dragged away by two security guards, each holding one of her arms.

Li Tingting saw Lan Huixin’s silhouette and shouted: “Lan Huixin, don’t be so smug! Just you wait!”

Lan Huixin’s hand holding the pen paused for a moment, then she continued writing without hesitation.

The others, who had witnessed the scene, were deeply moved.

The actress sobbed, “Director Yu asked me to remove my makeup on the spot. I refused and was scolded by him. I have lost my chance completely.”

Everyone exchange glances. Her makeup was already very light, and they were all taken aback when Director Yu still scolded her. Everyone suddenly felt threatened.

Duan Xiaoxiao was touching up her makeup, and her face stiffened. She stared at her delicate makeup in the mirror, feeling annoyed.

Lan Huixin immediately took the wet wipe from Ye Zhen’s hand and began wiping her face without hesitation.

Everyone else also took out their mirrors to remove their makeup.

“Who are the judges?” someone asked the crying girl.

The girl, too straightforward for her own good, answered, “Director Yu, Mr. Wu, and Zhou Zhengru.”

There was a collective gasp of surprise, “Is he the male lead?”

It was almost a foregone conclusion.

Who wouldn’t dream of making a movie with Zhou Zhengru as the male and female leads?

The girl continued, “And Qu Feitai.”

There was a moment of dead silence, like the calm before the storm.

“Is he going to make a movie too? God, a film emperor and a top singer, I’d be satisfied with just one of them on my side.”

“No way, Qu Feitai never makes movies.”

“Who knows, this is Yu Dawei’s movie after all...”

Lan Huixin and Ye Zhen looked at Ming Jing at the same time, but Ming Jing’s eyes were half-closed, ignoring the lively discussions around him.

“There’s also a young man, I don’t know who he is, but he’s so annoying and venomous,” said the girl, her fists clenched and her face full of indignation.

This made everyone even more uncertain.

Time silently slipped away, and almost everyone came out in tears.

Gradually, no one spoke, and all were immersed in the tense atmosphere, like soldiers about to go to battle.

Duan Xiaoxiao walked out with a pale face. She didn’t believe the warnings and refused to remove her makeup, but today, Yu Dawei taught her an unforgettable lesson.

Arrogance comes with a price.

“Next, Ye Zhen,” the staff read out the name.

Ye Zhen took a deep breath and glanced at Ming Jing.

“Do your best,” Ming Jing said softly.

Ye Zhen nodded, subconsciously touching the Buddhist beads on her wrist before getting up and leaving.

Standing in front of the door, she closed her eyes, and the life of Liang Yanran flashed through her mind like a rapidly flipping book.

She had once been unknown, then reached her peak, only to end up in the mud. Her brief life abruptly ended on that rainy night.

All the regrets and resentments disappeared along with Liang Yanran’s death.

The door opened, and she saw the light.
