Chapter 10: The Audition

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Soon, someone who looked like a manager came over and said fawningly, “Sir Nine, you should’ve told us in advance before you graced us with your presence. Please forgive us if we have not provided you with satisfactory service. What would you like to have?”

As he spoke, the manager handed the menu in his hands to Fan Cheng. Fan Cheng did not take it. Instead, he looked at Shen que and asked, “What do you want?”

The manager had come into contact with all sorts of people. He was a worldly-wise man. He immediately passed the menu to Shen Que and introduced enthusiastically, “Miss, these are all our specialties. You can take a look.”

As expected, the dishes that the manager was referring to were all very exquisite. Just looking at photos of them made one’s appetite soar. Of course, the price was also extremely expensive. A single dish was equivalent to an average person’s annual salary.

Shen Que chose a few meat dishes. For a person like her who would not get fat from eating, eating meat was the way to go.

Fan Cheng looked at Shen Que dotingly. He did not expect this little woman to be a meatatarian when she looked so thin and weak. He added a few more vegetables and a soup to the order before returning the menu to the manager.

“Sir Nine, please wait for a moment. Your dishes will be served soon.” With that, the manager left the private room.

Fan Cheng was a man of few words, to begin with, so the two of them sat at the table in silence. Fortunately, the dishes were served soon. Shen Que was so hungry that she felt her chest could press against her back. She picked up her chopsticks and gobbled down the food. Fan Cheng, on the other hand, had his food slowly and elegantly. In the meantime, he kept piling food onto Shen Que’s bowl.

Looking at the mountain-like pile of food in her bowl, Shen Que looked up in embarrassment. “You don’t have to worry about me. Hurry up and eat.”

“Okay, eat more,” Fan Cheng said with a smile, his eyes full of affection. He realized that watching this little woman eat was a form of enjoyment.

The two of them soon ended their battle with food. Fan Cheng drove her to the interview, and on the way, Shen Que was a little absent-minded. In her previous life, she had been a film queen, but she was now inexplicably nervous. Perhaps it was because this was her first time auditioning for a leading role after gaining consciousness from coming into the world of the book, or perhaps it was because she did not want to embarrass Fan Cheng.

The car soon arrived at the destination. Shen Que opened the door and was about to get out when Fan Cheng reached over to pull her and gently kissed her forehead. He encouraged her, “Come on, don’t be nervous. Relax. You can do it.”

Although it was only a short sentence, it seemed to calm Shen Que’s anxiety.

“Okay.” With that, Shen Que got out of the car and walked straight into Huansheng Entertainment. The moment she entered the building, the director’s assistant came over and asked, “Hello, are you Miss Shen Que?”

“Hello, yes, that’s me.” Shen que replied politely.

“Come this way, please.” The director’s assistant led Shen Que into a room.

In the interview room, there were already more than a dozen actresses preparing for the audition. Among them, there was no lack of popular actresses and strong actresses. When everyone saw Shen Que being led in by the director’s assistant, they all whispered to each other.

“Who is she? Why haven’t I seen her before?”

“Humph, she must be some unknown celebrity who hooked up with some big shot to have the opportunity to participate in the audition.”

“Oh my, any kind of person can just sneak in here?”

Shen Que did not pay attention to the unfriendly comments from the crowd. This was the way of the industry anyway. They would fawn over the popular celebrities and give snide remarks to the unpopular ones. She walked to a corner and sat down, taking no notice of everyone’s gaze. She knew that nothing she said now would be of any use. Only by standing in a higher position than them could she win everyone’s respect.. Otherwise, she would only be trampled under their feet!
