Chapter 669: Chapter 668 Audition Scene_1 Chapter 669: Chapter 668 Audition Scene_1 “Doesn’t that mean becoming enemies with Huang Ningyue?”

“No matter who she’s vying roles against, as long as she’s in this play, she’s my enemy.” Qiao Xiaren hooked Xixi’s chin with her fingers and chuckled softly. “Why, does this woman upset you?”

An unintentional gesture by Qiao Xiaren made Xixi’s cheeks flush, and for an instant, her heartbeat missed a beat.

Having accompanied her own artist for so long, it was sometimes hard to resist. To conceal her embarrassment, she quickly blurted out,

“It’s her pretentious holier-than-thou attitude that annoys me. What’s there to be so arrogant about? Is it just because she comes from a good family?”

“Okay, I’ll take her down for you later.” Qiao Xiaren withdrew her hand and curved her lips.

Xixi was stunned for a moment.

Why did that feel so…doting?

Before she could react, Qiao Xiaren had already walked towards the makeup room. It was only until Weini poked her shoulder forcefully that she came to her senses and followed.

When Huang Ningyue arrived, the role audition was almost over. The remaining roles were minor, not particularly outstanding, but they still represented an opportunity. So, most of the auditionees were newcomers.

“Director, can we start taking stills for the show now?” Huang Ningyue went forward, her face lighting up nicely with a humble smile. Being a semi-newbie, she had yet to earn the privilege of directors looking up to her. Naturally, she didn’t bear the haughtiness of famous actresses.

Director Deng looked at her, seemingly a bit embarrassed: “Well, Huang Ningyue, due to some changes, you may have to re-audition.”

This sudden statement left Huang Ningyue stunned. She had already auditioned previously, which was why she came directly today to take official press photos for show promotion.

But what does Director Deng’s statement mean? She had to audition again?

Huang Ningyue quickly shifted her gaze to Lan Lan, the director’s assistant, who was right beside him and paused for a moment.

Piecing together what Director Deng had just said, Huang Ningyue got a hunch. She was probably expected to compete with this young lady from the Lan Family in terms of acting skills.

Huang Ningyue had seen Lan Lan, the heiress of the Lan Family before. Under the Lan Family’s umbrella, there was Lan Family Media, a rather influential player in the entertainment industry. Naturally, Miss Lan made numerous appearances in the media and newspapers.

But she never expected that the young Lan heiress would also set her sights on this grand drama.

The reason Director Deng agreed to let Lan Lan audition was nothing but her wealthy background.

This is show business; if you don’t have a wealthy background, you must have skill, and luck plays a part, too!

Huang Ningyue unconsciously bit her lip, her sense of crisis deepening. Her popularity had just started to rise. If she could land this role, it would open doors for her in show business. To her, this was an opportunity she had to grasp.

She must seize it.

Huang Ningyue nodded, still confident. After all, Lan Lan had no experience at all. No matter how prominent her family was, if her acting skills were poor, Director Deng would not make her the lead actress just like that.

“That’s good. Let’s start with Miss Lan.” Director Deng looked serious, and he was somewhat troubled himself. He had already confirmed Huang Ningyue, but he also couldn’t disregard the face of Lan Family Enterprises. Luckily, Lan Lan just requested an audition. If her skills were lacking, he wouldn’t be blamed for not showing favoritism.

Lan Lan seemed confident, casually responded, and everything quieted down. All of a sudden, she inhaled deeply, and her expression began to change.
