Chapter 1341: Walking In The Backlight (17)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mumu hadn’t graduated yet. She got this opportunity because of a senior sister.
The senior sister was supposed to be auditioning for a spot and got this chance through her connections. But she then planned to study abroad temporarily, so she gave this opportunity to her.
Mumu arrived earlier than Ming Shu and was right ahead of her in line.
“Number 25.”
“Well, it’s me… I’ll go in then,” Mumu whispered to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu nodded.
Mumu trotted over. Just as she arrived at the door, the staff member suddenly stopped her.
One minute later, Mumu walked back.
Ming Shu looked at her.
Mumu said, “They told me to wait for a little longer.”
Mumu didn’t know what happened, but the others soon began to discuss.
It seemed some big wig had cut in line.
To be honest, a movie queen like Zhou Feifei had to wait in line obediently.
But suddenly someone cut in line, so how important this big wig would be?
“Number 25.”
The staff member called again.
Mumu walked over, confused, and went in this time.
Just as she went inside, Gu Xi came out surrounded by many people, followed by Cui Jingyang at her side.
Yo!
Boss X!
He recovered so fast!
He was concerned with love and romance so soon.
“Cui Jingyang…”
“Oh my gosh!”
“The boss of Hengfeng Group. He is actually in front of my eyes.”
“He is so handsome!”
Those who had been talking heatedly were all newbies, but those who had some qualifications were all very much paying attention to their own makeup, sitting there gracefully.
As for how these people kept saying he was handsome or something like that, Ming Shu felt nothing. After all, she could only see the X.
An X that could glow, which almost covered his face.
Gu Xi’s sweet and soft voice sounded lightly. “Mr. Cui, you don’t have to follow me. I can line up for the audition, please don’t do this for me.”
Cui Jingyang frowned. “It’s too much trouble to wait.”
“You can go back first.”
Cui Jingyang didn’t say anything and also didn’t leave.
Everyone looked at each other fearfully. The one who cut in line just now was her.
But she didn’t cut in line, instead, chose to wait here?
Everyone looked at each other again. They all heard about the news that the boss failed in pretending to be cool before.
The girl was Gu Xi.
Gu Xi walked all the way to a vacant seat with her head down, happening to sit opposite Ming Shu.
“Sister…” Gu Xi called in surprise. “Are you here for the audition too?”
Ming Shu smiled. “Miss Gu, don’t call me so willfully. I don’t have any sisters.”
Cui Jingyang rested his cold eyes on Ming Shu. It was her again!
Why was she here?!
He hadn’t settled his score with her yet for what she did last time, now she dared appear in front of him again!
Ming Shu raised her head, slowly curling her lips, light ripples spreading in her eyes.
Cui Jingyang felt an inexplicable chill go down his spine.
Ming Shu’s smile seemed harmless but was somewhat scary.
After all these years in business circles, he didn’t even feel this way when facing those old, cunning foxes.
Gu Xi followed Ming Shu’s line of sight. She frowned slightly, but soon recovered.
“Sister.” Gu Xi revealed a sad face. “I know…”
“Stop!” Ming Shu raised her hand and stopped her. “You united with Cui Jingyang and tried to force me out, now why are you pretending to me? Aren’t you tired? Can’t we be more sincere to each other?”
Gu Xi’s heart sank a little.
She didn’t unite with Cui Jingyang, only hinted at it consciously or unconsciously, saying that Ming Shu’s existence would block her road.
But how did she know?
“Sister, what are you saying…” Gu Xi denied it weakly.
“What am I saying? Don’t you know in your heart? If you’re a human, don’t tell me that you don’t understand.”
Gu Xi: “…”
If she said she couldn’t understand, she would not be human.
But if she said she understood, then she would be admitting…
The people all around should have long looked over when she called her sister.
Inquisitive glances swept over them constantly.
Was it Hengfeng Group’s boss who wanted to force Wen Di out? But wasn’t Wen Di an artist under Hengfeng Group?
Why did Gu Xi call her sister?
Should it be about the grudges in rich families again?
Gu Xi intended to reveal that Ming Shu was the Gu family’s step-daughter…
The identity wouldn’t do her any good, but only throw more dirt on her.
Gu Xi clenched her fingers slightly.
“Wen Di, don’t go too far.” Cui Jingyang spoke for Gu Xi.
“Compared with your means of forcing me out, mine was just a piece of cake.”
Cui Jingyang sneered. “Since you know, how dare you go against me? Miss Wen, you are really bold!”
Ming Shu picked up the topic naturally. “Thanks for the compliment. I can’t agree with you more. Boss X, you have sharp eyes.”
Cui Jingyang: “…” What was that Boss X?!!
Ahhhh!!!
He was going to kill this nasty woman!
“Number 26.”
The staff member called again and broke the weird atmosphere.
Ming Shu stood up. “Boss X, you’re welcome to continue forcing me out, just show me your ability of covering the sky with one bare hand.”
Boss X… Cui Jingyang watched Ming Shu leave with the staff member with a blackened face.
Cui Jingyang took out his phone and made a call.
“Why is Wen Di on set?”
“Boss Cui… Director He asked this in advance, we also had no way… What about this, after the audition, we’ll kick her out and guarantee that she won’t appear in any other dramas again.”
Cui Jingyang was satisfied.
Gu Xi was near him and heard their conversation. She couldn’t help but smile.
When Ming Shu finished the audition and came out, Mumu was still waiting outside.
“How’s it going?”
“Not so good.” Ming Shu pulled her bangs. “Why haven’t you left yet?”
“I… I’m waiting for you,” Mumu answered in a low voice. “I need to give the skirt back to you.”
“It’s yours. It matches you well.”
“Uhh…”
The movie queen was so kind.
…
Ming Shu left in another direction and didn’t run into Gu Xi and Boss X.
Three days later, the crew informed her of the time to start working.
Before leaving that day, Mumu exchanged WeChat contacts with her. A few minutes later, Ming Shu received Mumu’s message.
She was also selected.
It was only a minor role.
But she was already happy to be able to play a role in a drama like this.
[Mumu: Sister Wen Di, what’s your role?]
[Wen Di: Why don’t you think I’ll fail to be chosen?]
[Mumu: How’s that possible! Your acting skill is there for all to see, I believe no matter what kind of drama it is, as long as you want to play a part, you’ll always get your role.]
Ming Shu stared at that sentence and chutted, typing slowly in reply.
[Wen Di: I’ll play the Advisor.]
[Mumu: …Advisor? Isn’t that… the… supporting male protagonist?]
[Wen Di: Yes.]
[Mumu: You’ll play the supporting male protagonist?]
[Wen Di: No one says it couldn’t be played by a female.]
[Mumu: Uh.]
That seemed to make sense.
[Wen Di: Man should challenge himself, otherwise you won’t know how powerful you can be!]
[Mumu: Uh uh…]
Mumu felt it was a little fantastical. There were many dramas that had male characters played by females.
But…
That was a minority after all!
But she still looked forward to it.
She believed she could do it with her acting skills!
She believed in her!
All the cast who had been selected received the notification. Zhou Feifei waited anxiously, yet received nothing.
She inquired about it and found out that the female protagonist role was given to a newbie, Gu Xi.
Zhou Feifei almost fainted with anger.
She kept watch for Wen Di day and night, but who’d think that a newbie would come out halfway and steal her role.
