Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 178 It's rare to see someone so shameless.

"The company didn't ask you to dine and entertain investors and sponsors; that's already protecting you quite well. I'm not asking for your opinion on this; it's your job and your duty." Lin Zhengyu narrowed his eyes.

Shi Yuening was not unaware of this principle. Although she was young, she was not ignorant of the "rules and trends" in the entertainment industry.

It must be admitted that Xinghe is already a conscientious company in the industry.

The boss always negotiates resources; they're never allowed to negotiate on their own. Whenever something goes wrong, the company takes the blame, even handling public relations for negative news.

As long as it doesn't involve pornography, gambling, or drugs, the company can turn a blind eye, except for idols dating.

It's because idols dating is a "death sentence."

However, their company has very strict vetting processes for idols, so all of their idols are very honest and well-behaved.

"I understand, Mr. Lin. I will go to the studio on time."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go now."

After saying that, Yue Ning left.

Lin Zhengyu opened his phone and sent a message to Lu Zhiruo.

After the last person finished auditioning, Zhang San patted Nan Xu, who was sleeping on the table.

As he tidied the documents on the table, he said, "Okay, the interview is over, you can go home now."

Nan Xu stiffly sat up, rubbing her neck and arms, and yawned at Zhang San with sleepy eyes, "Hey, it's over?"

They were the only two people left in the room; everyone else had left.

"Hmm, it's already 4:30, let's hurry back." Zhang San patted the little darling standing on his lap.

In the afternoon, Nan Xu was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, and she dozed off on the table. When Zhang San found her, Nan Xu was already fast asleep.

The gull nestled beside Nanxu, licking and biting her hair, before being held in Zhang San's arms.

"Here, your daughter." Zhang San placed the darling in Nan Xu's hands.

Nanxu yawned and patted the dog's head. "I'm not coming tomorrow."

"Alright, alright, you can rest at home tomorrow. You can come again when filming resumes at the beginning of the year."

"Row."

Nan Xu picked up her coat from the chair and put it on. Holding her baby and her bag, she said goodbye to Zhang San, "Alright, I'm leaving now."

"Let's go." Zhang San waved his hand.

Nanxu carried Guaiguai to the underground parking garage, and was stopped by someone as soon as she opened the car door.

"Miss Nan, please wait a moment."

Nanxu turned around in confusion and saw a girl who was wrapped up tightly, wearing a black mask and a baseball cap, revealing only her dark pupils.

Nan Xu searched her mind quickly for those eyes, but after a long time, she couldn't find them. She was certain she didn't know this person.

"you are?"

"I am Su Nian, the female lead in 'The Sound of Falling.' We met on set," Su Nian said calmly.

He didn't remember knowing this person named Su Nian.

"Oh, what do you need me for?" Nan Xu leaned against the car, her arm resting on the window, and looked at Su Nian with a smile.

Su Nian hesitated to speak, mainly because she didn't know how to bring it up. She had no right or status, and was too embarrassed to say these things. After waiting for a long time without a word, Nan Xu lost her patience and said, "If you don't have anything to say, I'll be leaving now."

As she spoke, Nan Xu prepared to get into the car.

"Wait!" Su Nian hurriedly called out to Nan Xu.

Nan Xu said impatiently, "Say what you have to say. If you have nothing to say, please don't waste my time."

Su Nian pursed her lips, tears welling in her eyes. "I know you are an investor in 'Ascension to the Throne,' and I want to audition for the second female lead. But Director Zhang said that the role is up to me. I want to ask you, am I qualified to audition for the second female lead role?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Xu chuckled softly.

Zhang San told her that? Are you kidding me? She still trusted Zhang San's character.

"You're not an artist in our company, so why do you think I'd give you the second female lead role?"

"No, no, no, I just want to audition for this role," Su Nian quickly explained.

Nan Xu found it amusing. The role was already clearly in her hands, yet she still wanted to audition for it. She really didn't understand Su Nian's thought process.

That's really funny.

"Are you brainless? I already have the second female lead role in my hands. Do you expect me to just hand it over to you? Whether you audition or not is none of my decision," Nan Xu scoffed.

In the entertainment industry, where everyone needs both intelligence and emotional intelligence, how can there be such a brainless person?

Su Nian bit her lip. Although Nan Xu's words were unpleasant to hear, she still had to smile and face it.

“This film is very important to Director Zhang. I have the ability and confidence to play the role of the second female lead well. Can’t you give it to me? So that Director Zhang’s hard work won’t be wasted.”

Nanxu had never seen such a shameless person, who could say such things.

"Why don't you say you'd also get the lead role?" Zhang San said sarcastically.

Nan Xu glanced at Zhang San and smiled.

Su Nian looked at Zhang San in shock, as if she was surprised to see him there. She stammered, "Director Zhang."

"What? You can't even speak properly and you still want to play the second female lead in 'Ascension to the Throne'? I never knew you were so shameless, saying all sorts of things." Zhang San stopped and rolled his eyes at Su Nian.

Su Nian blushed, not expecting Zhang San to speak so directly, completely disregarding the fact that she was a girl.

"Why? Why can she get the second female lead role just because she invested, while others don't even get an audition? Nobody is more suitable for the second female lead than me." Su Nian stubbornly continued to argue for herself.

This really made Zhang San laugh in anger. "What's the use of being suitable? Can being suitable compare to being tailor-made? If you really want to act, you can have your company invest in me, but I won't consider it unless it's more than 500 million."

Five, five hundred million?
Su Nian was startled. With her status, how many years would it take her to earn 500 million? How could the company possibly invest so much money in her to act?

Zhang San snorted coldly, "If you don't have the capital, don't talk nonsense, it's annoying."

Su Nian's eyes shifted, and she stared straight at Nan Xu, who was much taller than her. Nan Xu looked down at Su Nian.

It's like saying, "What are you looking at? I'm not giving you a chance to see."

"I have something here that Miss Nan might be interested in. Maybe the role of the second female lead will fall into my hands." Su Nian looked at Nan Xu provocatively.

Nan Xu licked her lips, looking at Su Nian with a playful expression, as if she were watching a circus clown.

"Oh? Is that so? Then let me see it. I'd like to see what tricks you can use to make me give you this role."

Su Nian reached into the pocket of her cotton coat, took out a voice recorder, and shook it at Nan Xu. "I think Miss Nan will be very interested."

Have you whetted my appetite tonight?
