Chapter 455: Successful Audition
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Yu’s remaining sleepiness instantly dissipated.
He had indeed not forgotten about this. He had wanted to look for someone today.
“I’m looking for—”
The more Shen Yu spoke, the softer his voice became. The rest of his words were almost inaudible.
Liang Xun sneered. He knew what was going on when he heard that.
“Your half-day off is over.”
A cold voice was heard through the cell phone.
Shen Yu’s entire body stiffened. He only came back to his senses after a while. Then, he couldn’t help but wail.
Liang Xun did not care how he wailed and hung up. Then, he called Gu Yu and transferred the matter that he had originally handed to Shen Yu to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was more than 10 times as efficient as Shen Yu. As soon as Liang Xun’s instructions came down, he found someone to keep an eye on the Xu father and son in less than half an hour.
Jing Yao didn’t know any of this. She was reading the script at home.
However, she could not hide in the study and read the script all the time. Little Liang Jing would make a fuss if he could not see her later.
This script was different from Xiaokui’s script. Although it was realistic, it was a comedy script.
Jing Yao had also acted in comedy before. When she first came into contact with comedy, the director had said that the true core of comedy was still tragedy.
It was the same for this drama.
Many plots seemed to be ridiculously funny, but every plot point actually had a tear point that could poke at people’s hearts.
Jing Yao cried a few times when she read the script. Just as Zhu Ling had said, this script was also very good. As long as there was no problem with the production team, it would be a hit.
Ever since she figured it out last night, Jing Yao didn’t think about the audition anymore and focused on studying the new script.
She had never thought of Xu Cai again.
Mr. Liang went to the company. Sun Jia was bored at home alone. She came over after Mr. Liang went out early in the morning.
It was lively at home, so they could distract Liang Jing a little. This way, Jing Yao would have more time to read the script.
Just as Jing Yao was about to finish sorting out the script, she received a call from Zhu Ling.
The call went through. Jing Yao called out to Lingling first.
Zhu Ling didn’t respond for a long time. Jing Yao frowned and felt uneasy. She hurriedly called out again.
This time, Zhu Ling acknowledged, but her voice was lower and hoa.r.s.er than usual. She sounded like she was about to cry.
Jing Yao’s heart skipped a beat. She said anxiously, “Lingling, what’s wrong? What happened? Where are you now? I’m coming to find you. Wait for me.”
As Jing Yao spoke, she hurriedly got up, threw the script on the table, and walked out quickly.
Zhu Ling coughed softly and cleared her throat before saying, “Yaoyao, you succeeded.”
“What?” Jing Yao stopped in her tracks and didn’t know what Zhu Ling was talking about.
Zhu Ling had just received the notice. She was stunned for a long time when she received a call from Chen Xin’s a.s.sistant. In the end, she even confirmed it three times over the phone before finally confirming that Jing Yao had really succeeded.
Zhu Ling rubbed her sore nose and tried her best to say in a normal tone, “You succeeded in the audition.”
Jing Yao was stunned, and there was only a buzzing sound in her mind.
For a moment, the people on both ends of the phone fell silent. No one spoke.
Only the two of them understood each other’s feelings now. They had suffered all kinds of hardships in the few years since Jing Yao entered the entertainment industry.
They were tricked into partic.i.p.ating in a drinking session and drinking until they were hospitalized. In the end, the other party did not want to give them roles at all and was purely playing with them.
Zhu Ling tried her best to befriend everyone she felt would help Jing Yao’s acting career. No matter what industry they were in, she would work hard to maintain her relationship with them as long as she felt that it was beneficial to Jing Yao.
She had seen Jing Yao at her lowest and most helpless moment. She wanted to help Jing Yao become better.
Jing Yao also knew that Zhu Ling had worked hard for her. She never dared to slack off, afraid that she would let Zhu Ling down.
This was the first time Jing Yao had acted as the female lead since she debuted. The director was Chen Xin, and following Chen Xin meant that she had already succeeded.
“Lingling…” Jing Yao called Zhu Ling’s name, but she couldn’t say the rest. She felt a lump in her throat.
“I’ve already gotten a taxi and am on the way here. You don’t have to read the script 1 sent you last night. Continue studying the role of Xiaokui.” Zhu Ling knew what Jing Yao wanted to say, so she cut her off before she could finish..
