Chapter 73: She’s Not That High

Chapter 73

Shen Tang returned to her room, her mind full of the scene just now. Ah!!!

Did he just try to kiss her?

She was actually looking forward to it for a moment before they got interrupted. She didn't know whether to feel regretful or what.

Shen Tang forced herself not to think about this.

Think about the orphanage instead. With Gu Huaian's help, things would definitely work out.

She wondered if the matron was scared.

She called the matron, who picked up right away.

"Tang Tang, something wrong?"

"Are you alright?" Shen Tang asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Tang Tang, is that man your boyfriend? He sent a lot of supplies over and had people fix some worn down places. The acquisition has also been resolved thanks to him. He is truly a good man. Tang Tang, you have to treat him well."

"Huh? It's been resolved already?" Shen Tang was surprised. Gu Huaian was just...

That jerk must have done it on purpose!

The matron's voice was full of smiles. "Yes, yes. Those who owed apologies apologized, those who deserved punishment got punished. Turns out they heard this place was going to be demolished so they wanted to snatch it for themselves. Your boyfriend said the demolition plans do exist but not for a long time."

Shen Tang understood. The orphanage did occupy a large piece of land after all. Money moves people's hearts!

"How are the children?"

"They are fine. You just take care of yourself, no need to worry about us. In the future when you visit, don't bring too many things... don't overspend..."

The two chatted for a while before hanging up.

Shen Tang clutched her chest. She didn't know why, but talking with the matron gave her a sense of familiarity.

"What's going on..."

She couldn't figure it out.

After resting for a bit, it was time for Shen Tang to get back to work.

When Pei Kesong called, Shen Tang almost forgot who she was.

Of course that was impossible.

But the days off were truly happy and hard to part with.

Arriving at the company, Pei Kesong walked around Shen Tang twice with knitted brows. "Did you gain weight?"

Shen Tang said guiltily, "No, just drank more water so looks a bit bloated."

"Is that so? Then let's weigh you."

Shen Tang didn't expect she had to get on the scale. She stripped down to her undergarments and stepped onto it.

One look at the number and she knew she was screwed.

Sure enough––

Pei Kesong gave her death glare. "Very good, you gained 22 lbs. Remember you are a female celebrity? You forgot even basic body management."

Indeed, expert guidance brought obvious results.

Faint abdominal lines could be seen. Just a bit more and abs would show!

That day, Shen Tang brought Yuan Yuan along to the audition. Right after getting out of the car, they met the intimidating Qi Yue.

Shen Tang was surprised. "You came to audition too? Didn't you retire from the industry?"

Qi Yue took off her shades and smiled charmingly. "I did, but not completely. I'm here in another capacity today."

"Huh? What capacity? Don't tell me you're the interviewer? "

"That's right."

Shen Tang was only joking but correctly guessed it anyway. She was shocked. "Damn girl, so you joined them after not being able to beat them. Became capitalist now huh."

Qi Yue fluttered her lashes flirtatiously. "That's right. Want me to give you some backdoor help?"

Shen Tang was a little tempted.

Before she could answer, Qi Yue continued on her own. "Forget it, I know you won't want it. It's an insult to your personality."

Shen Tang: "???"

"No wait, I didn't say I don't––"

"You don't have to say it, I understand you. Rest assured I'll be fair to everyone." Qi Yue said and left gracefully, leaving Shen Tang frozen there.

"No no, I want it! I do!"

Who would reject backdoor opportunities?

Insults to personality, as if! She's not that narcissistic.

Yuan Yuan covered her mouth and giggled at the side. When Shen Tang looked over, she instantly shut up. "Erm, Sis Tang Tang, don't worry. You'll definitely get selected."

Shen Tang pouted. "Hopefully..."

While she said that, knowing Qi Yue was one of the interviewers did boost her confidence quite a bit.

Even if no favoritism, at least no unfair treatment would happen to her.

She really didn't expect Qi Yue to become an interviewer though. Looks like the Qi family invested heavily in this production to have such influence.

Then might she run into the female lead...

Sometimes thinking too much of something summoned its arrival. Shortly after entering, Shen Tang saw a familiar face walking over smilingly.

"Sis Tang Tang, what a coincidence~"

"Mian Mian, you came to audition too?"

Female lead Lin Mian Mian smiled shyly. Seeing no one was paying attention, she whispered, "Nope, I've already been confirmed internally. It's a show the company invested in for me."

Shen Tang was unsurprised.

Indeed Qi Jue moved quickly. Just after starting his company, he already got resources for his girlfriend.

Shen Tang almost shed tears of envy from the corners of her eyes.

Damn unfair heaven!

She transmigrated here so why didn't she land in the body of the female lead?
