Ye Xian nodded like a pecking chick, moving to the side as she did so.
Being stared at by the CEO was terrifying, like a little monster controlled by Ultraman. She felt the air around her solidifying, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Pang Kai: "My little ancestor, you better explain yourself! If you don’t explain, the CEO’s gloomy mood all day long is making me suffer too."
Ye Xian: "CEO, please try to get angry less often. Anger increases toxins in the blood, which can cause spots and acne, and can also lead to thyroid dysfunction and hyperthyroidism. Worst of all, it accelerates aging! I recently learned a dance that’s quite effective in chasing away bad emotions. Would you like to see it? I can perform it for you right now!"
Pang Kai: "..." Please don’t go on, you just know how to babble with that mouth of yours, don’t you ever tire yourself to death with it?
Ye Xian looked around, saw no one, and started to dance energetically.
"Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, anger leaves room for the Devil!"
"Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, anger only harms yourself!"
Ye Xian turned and ran away.
Seconds later, the Maybach sped away, leaving only a ruthless silhouette behind.
Ye Xian stopped in her tracks, raised an eyebrow, and watched the car disappear. It seemed the CEO was truly angry today. It was just a joke. Why take it so seriously? She hadn’t actually been disrespectful.
Was it because her flattery wasn’t appealing today, or...
Could it be that he was rejected by Krista? Heartbroken?!
Probably, men with money and a successful career mostly get upset over romantic troubles.
Taking pleasure in his misfortune, she let out a laugh typical of a single dog.
Zhou Lu was waiting in the resting room for her, and Ye Xian headed straight back. Just as she arrived, she saw Lin Yan and Zhang Qing walking out of the second audition room.
Ye Xian: "Haven’t you left yet? How did the audition go?"
Lin Yan shook his head silently, his expression conveying it wasn’t good. He was a shoo-in from Star Entertainment, just making an appearance here, but Zhang Qing...
Ye Xian turned to look at Zhang Qing and, as expected, saw her looking both listless and furious.
Without a word, her body exuded obvious anger, and nobody in the resting room dared to make a sound.
When the assistant handed her the bag and quietly said, ’Sister Qing, let’s go,’ Zhang Qing’s emotions suddenly erupted, "On what grounds? On what grounds do they eliminate me?"
"Just because Luo Yuwei put on that pitiful, everyone-owes-me look?"
"With her mediocre acting of batting eyes, pouting lips, and stomping feet, she dares to strut in front of me, scoring higher than me?"
Zhang Qing laughed angrily, "If Star Entertainment wants to rig the casting, just say it outright. Is there a need to make Luo Yuwei put on such a pretentious act, posting those hypocritical, sentimental Weibo posts? Or does she want to curry favor with netizens? Let the netizens see how high her principles are, how superb her acting is, that even Zhang Qing is no match in front of her!"
"I knew I shouldn’t have come!"
After Zhang Qing vented her rage, the resting room was dead silent.
Ye Xian had anticipated this outcome, but she didn’t expect Zhang Qing’s reaction to be so intense.
However, it was understandable. She had started her career as a nobody and gradually climbed to the status of a top actress, each of her commendable performances solidifying her reputation. Naturally, she held high expectations for the audition for "Conquest," only to end up losing to a newbie. She must’ve felt quite aggrieved.
But that was the female lead, Luo Yuwei after all.
Losing to her was only to be expected.
