When the production team was wrapping up and ready to leave for the day, Su Qianxun went to Director Liu to apologize to him again for being late. Although Director Liu really disliked people who were not punctual, when he looked at the young woman’s cautious and nervous expression, he had to suppress the urge to laugh out loud.
“It’s alright. Don’t worry about it and go home. By the way, I thought that your acting would be decent since you major in performing arts… but why can’t you even pose for a photograph? The photographs taken today are rather subpar,” Director Liu said truthfully.
Director Liu’s words jabbed into Su Qianxun’s heart like thorns. She was so embarrassed that her face had turned red. She said goodbye to Director Liu and left.
When Su Qianxun reached the elevator waiting area, Rong Yebai was waiting for the elevator. He and his manager entered the elevator. Su Qianxun walked in as well.
“Hi, little beauty, my name is George. I’m Rong Yebai’s manager. Are you planning to become a professional actor? I’m willing to sign you,” George said.
“Hello, I’m still a student. I don’t have a career plan yet.” Su Qianxun was still thinking about what Director Liu had said to her. His words had made her very upset.
Only now had she realized that she had underestimated the difficulty of things. She assumed that everything would be alright once she scored the female lead role in this project. Now she realized that the real challenge had just begun.
Rong Yebai let out a snort. “If an actress can’t even pose properly for a photo, she must be incredibly awful at acting… Why would you sign her?
When the elevator door opened, Rong Yebai shot the young woman beside him a look of disdain. He raised his hand to put on a pair of sunglasses, strode out of the elevator and walked away coolly.
George waved at Su Qianxun before chasing after him. “That’s not true. There are so many lacklustre actors nowadays, and they are still very popular. Some people just need to rely on looks. Who needs good acting skills these days?”
Su Qianxun stood still stiffly. She snapped out of her reverie when the elevator door was about to close and shut her in. She quickly pressed the button to re-open it and walked out of the elevator slowly.
At that very moment, Su Qianxun finally realized that she was a terrible actress. She knew that Rong Yebai was a mean person, but she also knew that he was telling the truth.
When Su Qianxun left the building, a car stopped before her. The driver got out of the vehicle to open the car door for her. “Young mistress, the young master asked me to come fetch you.”
Long Sijue had some work to do that night, so he asked the driver to take Su Qianxun to the company’s headquarters.
When Su Qianxun entered the director’s office, Long Sijue was dealing with some documents. Hearing the door open, he raised his head to glance at the young woman who had just sat down on the couch. He noticed that she was not in a good mood.
Long Sijue put down the document in his hand and said, “Come here.”
Su Qianxun stood up and walked over to him. Long Sijue held her in his arms and let her sit on his lap. He asked, “What’s going on? Did today’s photoshoot not go smoothly?”
“No.” Su Qianxun furrowed her eyebrows dejectedly.
“What’s really going on?” Long Sijue pinched her chin and made her raise her head to meet his eyes. His expression had become solemn.
“Only now have I realized that I’m really dumb. I can’t even pose properly for photographs, let alone act.”
Long Sijue furrowed his eyebrows as he gazed at the glum-faced little thing. He suddenly reached out and pressed the keypad of his desk phone. He asked Si Mancheng to invite the best performing artist in the country to his office.
“Young master, why are you asking them to come over now?” Su Qianxun was quite confused.
“To give you an acting lesson.”
Su Qianxun was speechless.
“He’ll arrive in about an hour. Just enough time for us to do something else,” Long Sijue said and lifted the young woman in his arms. He put her on the office desk before him.
