When Su Qianxun took her breakfast from Huan Huan, she saw the grim look on Long Sijue’s face. She hesitated for a moment, but she eventually jogged over and pecked him on the cheek. She said, “I was late yesterday afternoon and that left quite a bad impression on the people I work with. I’m heading over earlier today to make up for my mistake. I’ll dine with you tonight.”
After the young woman was done explaining, she turned around shyly and ran off.
Long Sijue’s chillingly cold expression instantly turned bright and full of delight. There was even a faint smile on his lips. Seeing that, the butler and all the servants sighed in relief.
After her lesson with the renowned performer yesterday, Su Qianxun was very confident in today’s photoshoot. As she was rushing to the studio, everyone was looking at her strangely. It puzzled her a little. She had no idea what was going on with all of them.
Eventually, Director Liu came over with an apologetic look on his face. He told her that the female leading role was no longer hers. Su Qianxun felt her heart sink all of a sudden.
“Is it because of my bad acting skills? I can learn to be better. I promise that I’ll perform well today,” Su Qianxun said anxiously.
A commotion erupted behind her. Su Qianxun turned around and saw an actress, Zhou Nana, walk in. She was dressed in suggestive attire, and her female assistant was following her into the room.
When Zhou Nana walked past Su Qianxun, she shot her a look of disdain “Tsk, Director Liu, your taste in actresses is getting worse and worse. Why did you even choose to hire such a little girl? Who wants to look at a woman with a flat chest and small hips nowadays?”
“Director Liu, you organized an audition for the purpose of making this advertisement. Since I have been selected, I should be the lead actress. I can’t accept the fact that you are giving the role to someone else!” Su Qianxun said as she stared at the director.
Director Liu seemed rather helpless and conflicted.
“Audition? That’s hilarious. The advertiser specifically selected me to be the lead actress! You can get the h*ll out of here now!”
Zhou Nana was speaking in an arrogant manner. ‘So, this c*nt is Yiren’s older sister. As I expected, she’s just as despicable as what Yiren had said. I must teach this b*tch a lesson for Yiren’s sake.’
“I understand. You can just get straight to the point and say that you have slept with the advertiser!” Su Qianxun said. She then turned and left.
When she walked into the elevator, Rong Yebai and George were just on their way out. Astonished, Rong Yebai stared at the grim-faced young woman as she left. He was rather puzzled. Yesterday, she was willing to jump into the chilly water for this acting opportunity, yet she did not hesitate to leave the studio today.
“Miss Su, where are you going?” George noticed that something was wrong with her.
The elevator doors closed. Su Qianxun suppressed the sadness inside her. She called the driver on the phone and asked him to come to fetch her.
The driver was not far away from the studio. When he received her phone call, he turned around and headed back to the building. In the meantime, he also notified Ye Gu of the situation.
Su Qianxun asked the driver to take her to campus. But she later realized that the car was not heading in the direction of the school.
She asked the driver and found out that Long Sijue instructed the driver to take her to his company’s headquarters.
She just lost a career opportunity that she had earned with hard work. Su Qianxun was dejected and furious. But in this moment, she realized with resounding certainty that the real world was harsh and merciless!
When Su Qianxun arrived at Long Sijue’s office, Tang Zui and Si Mancheng were present. Seeing her enter the room, the two men knew that it was time to excuse themselves first.
Long Sijue looked at the young woman. She had left the house happily this morning but returned with a glum expression on her face. He fixed his eyes on her and ordered, “Come here!”
Long Sijue knew that something must have happened. He could have investigated it himself, but he actually wanted to hear it from her in person.
Su Qianxun walked over to Long Sijue. He picked her up like it was the most natural thing in the world to do and let her sit on his lap. “What happened?”
