Chapter 23: The Agent He Gradually Wrong (22)

Chapter 23

When Yin Zhizhi and Ji Huan got off the car together, the journalists reflexively took out their cameras and started taking pictures. They were surprised when they recognized who it was.

"Yin Zhizhi!"

"Is it Yin Zhizhi? There was no news saying that she would come for the audition."

"Yin Zhizhi has been keeping a low profile since returning to the country."

This was a great opportunity as Yin Zhizhi hadn't given any interviews since returning to the country.

The reporters eagerly crowded forward.

"Miss Yin, which role do you want to audition for? Why didn't you reveal any information earlier? Your low-profile approach after returning doesn't match your status."

Yin Zhizhi found the reporter's statement quite amusing. She was indeed a second-tier celebrity, not low-profile at all. Even after a year abroad, she still had a lot of attention in the country. But why couldn't she be low-key? Does being low-key not match her status?

What's the point of showing off?

It's not just some artists who are pathological, the media is the same.

Ji Huan raised his hand to stop the journalists and said to Yin Zhizhi, "Don't answer their questions. We can chat later when we come out. Let's go in now."

"Okay."

The journalists who were closer heard Ji Huan's words and immediately asked, "Manager Ji, what time will Miss Yin come out? We want to interview her."

Ji Huan replied, "There's no need for a separate interview. Sorry, we have other matters to attend to. Let's go in first."

Ji Huan was also well-known in the industry as a manager, and the media didn't dare to easily offend him.

Ji Huan spoke with authority, not raising his voice but exuding a strong presence. With him protecting Yin Zhizhi, there was no need for security personnel.

Ji Huan led Yin Zhizhi through the crowd and went in directly.

"You go to the lounge and rest. I'll go over there."

"Okay."

Ji Huan went to meet the director. As the biggest investor, he had to keep an eye on the audition scene.

Yin Zhizhi was taken to the lounge by the staff.

The assistant also came over and asked, "Miss Yin, have you had breakfast? Do you want me to go out and buy something?"

"No need, I had breakfast before coming."

The assistant took out a script and said, "This was brought by Manager Ji."

Yin Zhizhi took the paper and glanced at it. It contained some character descriptions and lines for Wood Spirit.

There was still an hour before she was needed. It was the preparation time given to her.

Jiang Li understood Yin Zhizhi's approach.

The two of them went to the pantry to make coffee and, as they emerged, they encountered Ji Huan.

Seeing Yin Zhizhi with a cup of coffee, Ji Huan asked, "How much sugar did you put in?"

"Half a teaspoon," Yin Zhizhi quickly responded.

Jiang Li observed their interaction and felt like laughing, but seeing Ji Huan's serious expression, she tactfully excused herself, saying, "Zhizhi, I'll go back to the lounge now."

She left.

Ji Huan directly took the coffee from Yin Zhizhi's hand. "The coffee here isn't good. Don't drink it."

It was all instant coffee.

"How's the script for the audition coming along?"

"I've already memorized it."

"Which scene are you planning to perform?" Ji Huan took a sip of his coffee.

The man frowned; this sweetness had at least two extra spoonfuls of sugar.

She wasn't as well-behaved as he had imagined.

Yin Zhizhi observed him drinking and noticed his expression, clearly having figured something out...

"I plan to perform the scene where Wood Spirit gets burned."

Ji Huan's eyes slightly changed, and he spoke, "Why did you choose the most challenging scene? You won't have enough time to prepare your emotions properly."

"I believe the director also wants to see this particular scene in choosing Wood Spirit."

"Alright."

Since she had made up her mind, he didn't say anything more.

Ji Huan tossed his coffee, along with the cup, into the trash can. "If you want coffee, ask the assistant to buy it for you. Don't drink the ones here."

"Oh..."

"All the previous candidates have been rejected. I've come to inform you that if you're ready, you can go for the audition now. If you're not prepared yet, you can take some more time."

"I'm ready. Let's go now." Yin Zhizhi was confident about playing the role of Wood Spirit, after all, it was a role she could relate to.
