?Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Brother Mo Chen, I am especially, especially happy today! Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Brother Mo Chen, I am especially, especially happy today! Audition site.
After Qiao Ruoxin arrived at the audition site, she found that the queue for the female lead role stretched over ten meters long.
“Why are there so many people?” She was shocked by this scene.
The assistant whispered in her ear, “This is just the number for today’s audition, it’s like this every day.”
It seems a big production directed by a renowned filmmaker nevercks investors and actors.
It felt like all the female actors in the capital hade here to audition.
Suddenly, two bodyguards clearing the way approached from behind, guarding a woman.
Qiao Ruoxin turned around and recognized her at a nce—it was Lu Xingxing!
When Lu Xingxing passed by her, she stopped in her tracks, a look of surprise on her face, “You’re auditioning too? I advise you not to waste your time; I’m set on being the lead actress for this movie!”
She couldn’t help butugh out of anger, “You’ve neither graduated from a professional film academy nor have any artistic talents, so why are you even here in the entertainment industry?”
Lu Xingxing lifted her chin, her smile smug, “Because our family is rich, isn’t that enough? Look at the newbies in the entertainment industry these days, with their crooked melons and split dates, plenty of them peddling a mentally-challenged persona; if they can make it, why can’t I?”
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and grabbed her assistant, preparing to leave.
There was no point in auditioning anyway, since it was all rigged for Lu Xingxing from the start.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingxing grabbed her wrist, “Qiao Ruoxin, you aren’t going to bother Mo Chen to snatch the role from me, are you? I can fight for many resources just by relying on the Lu Family, and without Mo Chen to back you up, who do you think you are?”
Qiao Ruoxin withdrew her hand, giving a coldugh, “Don’t worry, such a trivial matter isn’t worth me going to Mo Chen.”
After speaking, she lead her assistant away from the audition site.
…
The assistant followed her closely, “Ruoxin! How could you just give up on the audition like that! It was arranged by President Bai himself!”
Qiao Ruoxin stopped in front of the elevator and pressed the call button.
“Didn’t you see it was all predetermined? What’s the point in trying?”
“But…”
Before the assistant could say more, Qiao Ruoxin identally noticed a room with a piece of paper on the door: “Falling Star Audition Site.”
But the ce was utterly deserted.
Qiao Ruoxin stepped past the assistant and walked into the room, where only one assistant director sat.
Upon seeing her, the assistant director’s face lit up with surprise, “Qiao Ruoxin?”
“Hello, are you holding auditions? Howe there’s no one here?”
The assistant director was genuinely excited to see her, after all, she was currently a popr girl group idol.
“Ah, this is a science fiction movie, and the funds are quite tight. The investors aren’t very optimistic about the market for the film, so the pay isn’t very high, which is why not many people areing to audition.”
Qiao Ruoxin suddenly became interested.
There were hardly any decent science fiction movies produced domestically; if she could really star in a sessful sci-fi film, her future would be limitless.
“Director, could you tell me about the general plot of ‘Falling Star’?”
“Certainly, certainly!” The assistant director’s eyes shone, and he was exceedingly excited.
…
An hourter.
The little assistant followed Qiao Ruoxin with a frown, “Ruoxin, why did you agree to y the leadingdy in this movie? The financial situation of this film is so unstable that it might stop production any day, and the pay is just tens of thousands, with your current value, that’s simply…”
But Qiao Ruoxin was smiling very happily, patting the assistant on the shoulder, “You’ve got to look at the bigger picture, what if it’s a hit? And the film’s theme is quite good.”
And it was in line with Mo Chen’s standards.
It was a science fiction movie, so there were no romantic scenes, and certainly no kissing or bed scenes.
Yay! Finally, she could y the leading role!
She had to make something of her career, otherwise Uncle Mo’s words “unworthy of the position” pierced her heart like a thorn.
At that moment, Lu Xingxing was once again escorted out by her bodyguards.
Lu Xingxing strutted around with an air of arrogance, as if her entitlement and princess syndrome were written all over her face.
“Qiao Ruoxin, even if you can’t oupete me, there’s no need to degrade yourself like this, actually auditioning for some unknown movie,” the disdain in Lu Xingxing’s voice was clear.
Qiao Ruoxin crossed her arms, nced coldly at Lu Xingxing, and smiled faintly, “What’s it to you?”
“I don’t want you to get fooled and end up not getting paid. Just a friendly reminder,” Lu Xingxing sighed.
“Doesn’t matter, I’m not short on cash. With Mo Chen taking care of me, consider it just for fun.”
The casual tone instantly ignited Lu Xingxing’s rage, “Are you addicted to relying on Mo Chen? You don’t find it shameful but rather take pride in it?”
She couldn’t help but chuckle and nodded her head lightly.
With a ding, the elevator doors slowly opened.
Qiao Ruoxin, followed by her assistant, walked into the elevator, looking at Lu Xingxing and her crowded entourage, “Why don’t you wait for the next one, you guys take up too much space.”
“You!”
The elevator doors slowly closed, and Qiao Ruoxin revealed a sweet smile until the doors shut tightly.
Lu Xingxing’s face was filled with rage, “What’s so great about Qiao Ruoxin besides her good looks? I thought Mo Chen saw something special in her, turns out it’s just about the face, so superficial!”
A bodyguard beside her whispered, “Miss, Qiao Ruoxin does have some talent. She’s the hottest new star in the country right now and was the top scorer to enter the Film Academy. She’s widely regarded in the industry.”
“Whose bodyguard are you? Praising her?”
Lu Xingxing kicked the bodyguard, who silently closed his mouth.
…
Hengzhong Group.
Outside the Chairman’s office.
The secretary Jiang, who was on the phone, looked up and saw Qiao Ruoxin approaching and couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Jiang quickly hung up the phone and got up to greet her, “Miss Qiao, howe you’re here? You didn’t even give us a heads-up, Director Mo is in a high-level meeting.”
“It’s alright, I’ll wait for him in his office,” Qiao Ruoxin replied.
Jiang, “Okay, would you like something to drink?”
“Make me a cup of coffee, please. Thank you.”
“No problem, please wait a moment.”
After entering the office, Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but marvel; being the chairman really was different—the new office was twice the size of the previous one.
She sat down on the sofa in the reception area and surveyed the office’s interior design: simple and stylish, understated yet exuding luxury.
After Jiang brought the coffee and left,
Qiao Ruoxin had drunk half her coffee when the office door opened, and there was Mr. Mo, finally back.
She looked up and saw Mo Chen dressed in a white shirt and ck suit pants, his sleeves rolled up, revealing his sexy forearms.
The man had a gloomy expression when he entered the office, which changed to surprise and delight when he saw her sitting on the sofa.
Mo Chenughed out loud, heading toward the sofa.
Before he could get close, Qiao Ruoxin happily stood up and rushed straight into the man’s arms.
Mo Chen instinctively caught her delicate, soft body, stumbled backward, then looked down at her exquisite face, “Feeling good?”
“Mo Chen, I’m particrly happy today! Because I get to y the female lead,” Qiao Ruoxin beamed.
The man didn’t react much and just smiled slightly, “I know.”
She continued, “It’s not the opportunity you gave me, I got it myself.”
The man’s expression changed instantly, bing dark and ominous as his long fingers gripped her jaw, “What did you say?”
Qiao Ruoxin was taken aback, then quickly responded, “Don’t worry, it’s a science fiction movie, no romance scenes!”
