Chapter 903: Chapter 903 Audition 1

Having realized, Lu Nian very politely invited the three into his office, "Mr. He, please come with me to my office to chat!"

He Nan nodded, so the three of them followed Lu Nian to the office where he invited them to sit on the sofa and personally poured them hot water.

Shen Mianmian wasn’t surprised at all that he knew He Nan, as everyone was mingling in Beijing. He Nan’s business had grown significantly, so it wasn’t strange that they knew each other.

"Mr. He, this really is fate. I never imagined she would be your girlfriend."

Those who knew He Nan were aware that he always had a cold expression and appeared uninterested in women. Women who wanted to throw themselves at him dared not approach, and some even whispered that he didn’t like women.

Thinking about those rumors now, they were just jokes.

He Nan picked up his tea and took a sip, implying, "She is still studying."

With that statement, Lu Nian instantly understood his meaning—it was a warning not to disclose Shen Mianmian’s identity openly yet also a clear message to let him know the relationship between the two.

In essence, He Nan was silently supporting Shen Mianmian.

Understanding He Nan’s intention, Lu Nian immediately nodded, "Mr. He, rest assured, I know what should and shouldn’t be said."

Among the businesspeople he dealt with, Lu Nian always admired He Nan. Some investors in films would hint that actresses should accompany them for drinks or liked to be seen with beautiful women.

He Nan was the exception; he never brought women along and never accepted eager advances from them.

"Hmm," He Nan nodded slightly, then said, "You should carry on with whatever you need to do. Don’t mind me."

Hearing this, Lu Nian immediately understood and took Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi for styling, whereupon the makeup artist remarked upon seeing Shen Mianmian.

"Director, her skin is very fair already, no need for more makeup. I think just changing her clothes will do."

Glancing at Yang Xiaoxi, she added, "She needs some foundation and a bit of lipstick."

Lu Nian nodded, "Arrange as you see fit."

After speaking, he said to Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi, "Don’t be nervous, I’ll have someone bring the script over in a moment. Take a look at it, and in half an hour, we’ll do a scene test."

Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi nodded at the same time.

As soon as Lu Nian left, the makeup artist began by giving them clothes to change into, and once they had changed, she exclaimed.

"No wonder Director Lu brought you here; this play is as if tailor-made for you. These two roles are definitely yours."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxi’s face showed nervousness, "But Director Lu said we’re going to do a scene test soon, do we need to memorize the lines? I’ve never acted before, I don’t know what to do."

While they were talking, someone brought the scripts as Lu Nian had instructed and handed them over, "Director Lu said that you will be trying the scene of eating candied hawthorns. Just perform according to the description here; don’t be too nervous. You lack experience, but Director Lu will guide you."

Shen Mianmian glanced at the script and instantly understood what Lu Nian had mentioned that day; the scene described indeed resembled their day eating candied hawthorns.

Thinking of this, she said to Yang Xiaoxi, "Take a look at the script first, just immerse yourself in the character when the time comes. There aren’t many lines here, it’s easy to memorize."
