Chapter 280: A Fatty With Potential
Upon seeing the peeled pine nuts, Ling Sheng decided that even if he was a liar, she would not blame him. She smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Uncle.”
She liked to eat nuts, but did not like peeling pine nuts, Hawaiian fruit, and walnuts herself. When the uncle saw this, he carefully peeled them for her.
The man in front of her gave her a familiar feeling, as though she had known him for a long time. It was a strange sense of familiarity.
When James walked out of the elevator, he saw the handsome man sitting opposite her, who was peeling Hawaiian fruit laboriously. He immediately panicked. “What time is it? Why are you still sitting here? Who’s the host?”
This was outrageous. He had actually ignored the hundreds of actors who had come to audition and run over to flirt with a beauty.
Upon hearing this voice, Ling Sheng looked over and saw a long-bearded European-looking man with deep-set features. His skin was tanned, and his blue eyes were very imposing when he was angry.
James was Chen Mo’s a.s.sistant director. They had been working together for decades and were best friends and partners.
“Why don’t you check the time yourself?” Nangong Lengmo was not anxious at all. Since things had already come to this, he should stay calm.
“I was meeting an investor. What about you?” James was annoyed.
Ling Sheng was so stunned that she had forgotten to chew the food in her mouth. When she looked at the handsome uncle in front of her, her eyeb.a.l.l.s nearly dropped to the ground. No way! He was really Chen Mo! He was Director Chen!
“I don’t have an invitation. The lady at the front desk won’t let me in,” Nangong Lengmo said self-righteously. “My ID and phone were stolen on the subway, so I can’t prove my ident.i.ty.”
Ling Sheng thought, That’s true!
However, the handsome uncle in front of them was far too different from Director Chen. This was virtually a reconstruction. Even if one claimed that fatties had the potential to be handsome, he must have been resculpted by the hands of G.o.d!
“Let’s go in!” Chen Mo dragged Ling Sheng away.
Su Ye covered her mouth in shock, her understanding of the world refreshed. This was really Director Chen Mo. How could a person change so much?
When the lady at the front desk discovered that the handsome man in front of her was Director Chen Mo, she could not remain calm anymore. Even after that person entered, she kept comparing the photo to him. She felt as though her IQ had been crushed.
Chen Mo had to prepare for the audition, so he arranged for a staff member to take her to the resting area.
There were more than 100 male and female actors at the group audition and casting selection. They were all seated in the same row. Ling Sheng was not included in the list, but Chen Mo added her at the last minute. There was no place for her there.
When Luo Xin saw Ling Sheng being led in, her eyes turned cold and she mocked her. In the end, she had still come in. However, she did not know what she had done.
Had she shamelessly begged Director Chen Mo? Or had the Third Master found Director Chen Mo and gotten her in through the back door?
The employee led her in and left. There were a lot of things to do, and they needed manpower everywhere. They could not waste time on an insignificant actress.
When Ling Sheng entered, everyone looked over. Their eyes were full of curiosity, doubt, and disregard, as though she was an uninvited guest who had suddenly barged in.
Everyone present was well-respected. Even if they had not won a big award, their acting skills were recognized by the ma.s.ses. What was the point of adding a newbie who did not even have any work experience? Was this a slap to their faces?
