C10

Lin Xi couldn't remember when she fell asleep, but by the time she woke up the next day, the sky outside her window was already bright.

She looked at the alarm clock on the bed. It was nine o'clock!

She instantly woke up. Since there were elders at home, it wasn't polite for her to wake up at this time of the night.

Regardless of whether she had made a promise with Qin Yu to pretend to be a couple, she wanted to leave a good impression on the madame.

Lin Xi quickly got up and tidied herself up before hurrying downstairs.

But she didn't see Old Madem Qin downstairs, she only saw Qin Yu sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a magazine.

Qin Yu leaned on the sofa half and crossed his legs casually. Due to the legs being too long, he got short on the sofa.

Hearing movement, he raised his head and looked towards Lin Xi's direction.

Looking into his eyes, the scene of the two kissing last night involuntarily popped up in Lin Xi's mind. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Morning."

"It's getting late." Qin Yu put down the magazine in his hand, his voice carrying a trace of impatience, "At this time, all the adults in City Z with the ability to work have already started working."

Lin Xi choked a little, so she could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in her voice.

However, she pretended that she didn't understand anything. She looked around and asked, "Why haven't you seen the madame yet?"

Qin Yu replied impatiently: "Grandmother has gone to see a friend. She has prepared breakfast for you in the dining hall. "Then, I need to talk to you about last night …"

Last night?!

Lin Xi was extremely sensitive to these four words, she anxiously interrupted Qin Yu and said: "Last night's kiss was an accident, we just happened together, and it wasn't real, there's nothing to talk about, everyone forget about it."

Qin Yu scoffed, looked at her with ridicule in his eyes, and said: "I had indeed forgotten, if you had not reminded me earlier. But what I want to talk to you about is the VICI endorsement that was mentioned last night. "

"Huh?" With two lives added together, this was the first time Lin Xi felt so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear from the face of the earth.

Only after a long while did she recover from her awkwardness. She pretended that nothing had happened and said, "Oh, about the VICI endorsement, I still need to thank you for giving me the chance to audition."

"No need to thank me," Qin Yu returned his gaze back onto the magazine, "I'm only giving you a chance, whether or not you're selected will depend on your own performance."

The reason he mentioned VICI's endorsement yesterday was partly for his grandmother's sake, partly because VICI was indeed recruiting a spokesperson and had not been able to find a suitable candidate. He had seen Bai Nianxi wearing that Starry Night Skirt before. It had to be said that ever since Bai Nianxi's personality had changed, her temperament had become very compatible with VICI, which was why he gave her the chance to audition.

But it's just an opportunity, and that doesn't mean the VICI endorsement must be hers.

Qin Yu then said, "After you finish breakfast, I will send you to the VICI."

Of course, my grandmother specifically sent Bai Nianxi to the VICI.

If it weren't for his grandmother's instructions, he wouldn't have been like a fool and wasted the entire morning. After Lin Xi woke up naturally, she would have supervised her to eat breakfast and even personally sent her to the audition.

"Then I'll be troubling Master Qin San."

When Lin Xi saw the breakfast the old lady had prepared for her in the kitchen, she immediately felt warm inside. Even the awkwardness from before had disappeared …

She picked up a bowl of porridge and leisurely took a sip. The texture was soft and rotten, and there was even the scent of new rice on it.

Just as she was about to enjoy her food, Qin Yu's voice suddenly came from outside: "I have one more thing to remind you, the auditions for the VICI will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning. You still have less than an hour."

Lin Xi's action of picking up the Soup Dumplings suddenly stopped.

Less than an hour?

From the villa area they lived in to the VICI headquarters, it would take them almost an hour.

Qin Yu must have done it on purpose!

Lin Xi gritted her teeth, put down the Soup Dumplings hatefully, and said against her own heart: "I've been losing weight recently, I've already eaten enough, we can leave now."

Although Qin Yu had only given her a chance for an audition, it was still the best opportunity for a newbie that didn't have any fame. Even if Qin Yu was deliberately making things difficult for her, she didn't want to miss it because of being late.

Qin Yu caught a glimpse of Lin Xi's expression and suddenly felt a lot better. He then casually stood up and took the car key and went downstairs. Lin Xi followed closely behind him.

Fortunately, ever since he had reincarnated, Lin Xi's luck seemed to have been quite good.

There was no traffic jam on the way to the VICI. Qin Yu drove very fast and finally caught up to the location of the audition before ten o'clock.

Just as Lin Xi got off the car, she was about to turn around and leave, but she did not expect to meet Gao Quan, the person in charge of VICI.

Gao Quan recognized the car of his own boss at a glance, his eyes lit up, and immediately went to greet him.

"Director Qin."

Gao Quan greeted Qin Yu passionately as he sneaked a glance at him.

He wasn't too far away just now, so he could clearly see that Lin Xi had gotten off Qin Yu's car.

He had worked in the VICI for so many years, but this was the first time he saw a woman getting into Director Qin's car.

Qin Yu only came to VICI today to send him off, it was a private trip, he did not have any plans to inspect the branch, thus he did not get off the car, and only nodded towards Gao Quan through the window.

Gao Quan saw that he did not have any intention to stay, so he tactfully retreated to the side of the road to allow Qin Yu to continue watching.

In the meantime, he couldn't resist looking at Lin Xi again, trying to guess her identity, as well as her relationship with Qin Yu.

Qin Yu caught a glimpse of Gao Quan's eyes from the rearview mirror, he frowned, the car had already moved forward more than 10 meters, but he suddenly reversed it back.

He was afraid that Gao Quan misunderstood his relationship with Bai Nianxi, and would affect the fairness of the spokesperson selection. He returned the car back to Gao Quan, and pointed to Bai Nianxi who was not far away: "This is, the artist who signed the contract with Tian Yi Entertainment. She is here today to audition for the VICI, and her information should have been sent to you by the Assistant Yao. The audition will proceed according to previous requirements, and the selection will be fair. There is no need to give her any preferential treatment. "

Gao Quan's eyes flashed, he turned his head back and forth, and finally understood what Qin Yu meant.

He felt that Qin Yu was speaking the truth. With the fact that Director Qin had personally sent someone to audition, the Director Qin should have cared a lot about this Miss Bai Nianxi. Therefore, he was just hinting at him to not only treat this Miss Bai well, he had also given her the endorsements very naturally.

Thus, Gao Quan who thought he understood Qin Yu's intentions, solemnly nodded his head and guaranteed: "Okay, Director Qin, I know what to do."

Since the CEO wanted to make the beauty happy, giving her a spokesperson didn't matter much.

On the other hand, Qin Yu did not know what Gao Quan was thinking at all.

Lin Xi stood by the side and listened to the two's conversation, not showing any sign of disappointment on her face. Qin Yu had said long ago that she would give her a chance to audition, and she would fight for the rest on her own.

After all, she had been in the entertainment industry for two years and wasn't a naive person who didn't understand anything. She was somewhat confident that she could win over this endorsement.

After Qin Yu left, she followed behind Gao Quan into the VIP office.

VICI had its own studio on the ground floor, where the audition was held.

From a distance, Lin Xi could see the staff who were waiting for her audition. She was about to walk over when she suddenly heard Gao Quan purposely lowering his voice, and said behind her: "I'm sorry Miss Bai will go to the studio to audition, you just need to take a good picture, I'll take care of the rest for you."

Ah?

Lin Xi turned around with doubt. Just as she wanted to ask Gao Quan what she meant by that, Gao Quan had already entered the elevator in a flash.

Seeing that it was almost 10, Lin Xi did not have time to think anymore, and hastily walked towards the direction of the recording studio.

At ten o'clock sharp, the audition officially began. Everyone went to the studio with their number plates.

Because Lin Xi came late, the number plates she received were the last few. She scanned the room and recognized a few famous stars, each of them surrounded by a group of people.

After all, only a small number of people in the entertainment circle could earn a reputation. Most of the people who had entered the industry for a few years were just extras, and when they saw the celebrities in the industry, they couldn't help but want to get closer to them.

Even though they were just chatting, they were actually flattering her. The female celebrities all had a condescending look and didn't pay much attention to others.

After a while, another two makeup stylist came into the resting room. According to the order of the number, Lin Xi estimated the time and felt that it would be her turn to make up in an hour.

She was not used to the false flattery in the house, so she excused herself to go to the bathroom and take a breath of fresh air in the hall.

What she did not expect was that she would actually be caught off guard and met Lin Qian in the hall.

Lin Qian walked as she made a phone call, her tone sounding a little exasperated. "Alright, after I take down my collaboration with VICI, I'll see who dares to doubt me again!"

With that, she hung up and walked towards Lin Xi.

She naturally could not recognize Lin Xi, but Lin Xi saw her approach him step by step, and heard her footsteps making clicks on the ground. The sounds seemed to have struck Lin Xi's heart, and reminded her how the person leisurely walking away had pushed her down the fifth floor.

Lin Xi stared at her intently, her arms trembling slightly. With great difficulty, she managed to suppress the thought of fighting with her with her life on the line.

Now is not the time …

Very quickly, Lin Qian was in front of Lin Xi. She did not notice Lin Xi's strangeness and politely smiled at him: "I have an appointment with Boss Gao today, I'll have to trouble you to inform him from the inside."

Lin Xi was standing near the front desk, and the manager who was on duty was not there, so Lin Qian mistook her for the front desk.
