Chapter 279 - Compassion

“Uncle!” Ling Sheng could not bear to watch anymore. She ran over and pulled him away. She then looked at the couple in front of her in embarrassment. “Senior Sheng, Teacher Fang Hua, I’m sorry. It’s fine. Go in and get ready!”

When Sheng Xichen had entered, he had observed Nangong Lengmo’s indifference and had not noticed Ling Sheng, who was sitting opposite him. Upon seeing her, he was shocked. “I know you. You’re a newbie from Brother Ci’s Studio. Ling Sheng, right? If you were able to come to this audition, that means that the younger generation will surpass us in time!”

Ling Sheng shook her head hurriedly. “No, I don’t have an invitation. I’m just here to take a look. Hurry up and go in. We won’t disturb you anymore.”

Sheng Xichen nodded. Before he left, he said, “Pass my greetings to Brother Ci when you meet.”

Fang Hua agreed. “Mine too.”

The duo chatted as they entered, talking about Ling Sheng. The young lady was from Huo Ci’s Studio and had been involved in a scandal with him. However, they did not know if it was true or not, so they had the urge to gossip.

Ling Sheng pulled the man to sit in the resting area. “Uncle, what do you want? How did you know there would be an audition here today? It’s fine if you tricked me into coming, but why did you pretend to be Director Chen?”

“You don’t believe me either?” Nangong Lengmo let out a deep sigh and took a big gulp of water. “My phone was stolen in the subway. That’s why I was unable to send you a message. Sorry.”

“I forgive you.” Ling Sheng smiled. After all, they were in the same boat!

Since the duo could not enter, Ling Sheng had an idea. “Call James and get him to come and identify you.”

Nangong Lengmo let out a deep sigh. “I don’t remember his number.”

Ling Sheng was speechless. This handsome uncle was around 30 years old. However, one really could not tell how old he was based on his face and IQ. Why did he look like an idiot? “Then whose number do you remember?”

“My sister’s.” Nangong Lengmo let out another cold sigh and took the poster to look at it. “If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have lost weight and changed my style.”

Then, he picked it up and showed it to Ling Sheng so she could compare. “Are we really not the same? Look at my features. They’re obviously identical!”

Ling Sheng could not bear to hurt him. However, when she heard him say that, she took a closer look and realized that they really did look alike. “Yes, if you say so.”

Su Ye listened to their conversation and smiled in secret.

The duo was drinking tea and chatting in the resting area. No one kicked them out, and some people even brought snacks for them. They were quite at ease.

Ling Sheng was dumbfounded as she watched big shots walk out of the elevator one after another. Almost all the famous actors and actresses in the entertainment circle had come. This was a grand occasion that rarely took place even at large award ceremonies.

“Director Chen Mo, your charisma is indeed very powerful.” Ling Sheng gave him a thumbs-up, looking utterly convinced.

Come to think of it, who would not want to get an Oscar? Even if they could not get an Oscar, it would be a great honor to showcase their work at the Oscars. It would bring glory to the Chinese film industry and make them proud.

“Thank you.” Nangong Lengmo accepted her compliment.

Ling Sheng gave him a sideways look. Uncle, you really know how to fish for compliments. I was talking about Director Chen.

At 9: 30, after waiting for an entire hour and a half, Ling Sheng went to the washroom twice. When she came out, she saw the uncle peeling pine nuts. He was peeling them and placing them on a plate. Upon seeing her, he said, “Come and eat quickly.”
