Chapter 97: For Audition!

His action caused quite the commotion among the board of directors.
A toy manufacturer investing in a movie production was simply incomprehensible and unheard of.
Li Hanlin heard that the film was called the ‘The Green Apple’ and was based on a novel. It had a strong lineup of actors and production team. Under Huanyu Entertainment, the movie’s director was the famous Lin Fengtian and male lead was the superstar Gu Xingze.
Lezhi had surreptitiously become the movie’s biggest investor with one instruction from Yun Tianyou.
Li Hanlin cautiously asked, “Director Yun, are you thinking of making a foray into the entertainment industry with this investment?”
“No,” Yun Tianyou answered almost instantly, playing with the design modules on the table.
“Then… Why did you suddenly invest in that upcoming movie?” Li Hanlin was clueless.
“Just because I wanted to.” Yun Tianyou signaled him with a look, hinting that he was being nosy.
Li Hanlin had no choice but to swallow his other questions.
Yun Tianyou added casually, “I listed my conditions when I invested in that movie.”
Dawn arrived.
Yun Shishi woke up early.
Today was a national holiday, and since there was no class in school, Youyou was still lazing in bed.
Yun Shishi was busy cleaning the house. While she was doing the laundry, an exquisite invitation card fell out from her pocket.
She picked it up and remembered what Gu Xingze had told her last night.
“With your assets, you are suited to acting… Tomorrow is the last day of the audition. I’ll be there, too.”
Yun Shishi stood motionlessly in one spot for a long time as she tried to make up her mind. She clenched her fists and decided to go for it.
Before she left the house, she changed into a clean set of clothes. She wore a top that was as white as snow and partnered it with a dark-blue, pleated skirt. It was a simple yet elegant outfit.
She read the novel multiple times and decided on a part to depict during the audition. Based on her notion of the ‘Yin Xiachun’ character, she applied a light nude make-up using the branded cosmetics she had previously bought.
Yun Shishi stared at her reflection in the mirror. Jade-like face, rosy cheeks, and bright-looking eyes – she projected the vitality and loveliness of an innocent youthful girl.
With her thick eyelashes and pinkish lips, any men would want to kiss her.
She looked spirited as she curled her lips into a slight smile. Her glow seemed to brighten the sky outside the window.
She prepared herself mentally and stepped out of the door.
She rushed to Huanyu Complex and located the audition venue to be at the Music Department. However, before she could proceed inside, she was stopped by the person in charge of filtering the auditionees.
The person was taken in by her sheer beauty. She was the most outstanding among those who had auditioned in the past two days.
However, he had to stop her and ask for the invitation card.
She checked through her belongings, and, to her surprise, it was no longer in her bag. She clearly remembered putting it in there before she left the house…
She frowned slightly and told him, “I left the card at home.”
“How can you forget to bring such an important item?” He did not believe her. “Is this an excuse? You actually don’t have an invitation card in the first place, do you?”
She smiled politely and replied gracefully, “I have an invitation card. Gu Xingze personally passed it over to me.”
He was irked by her response. “Oh, my! Can you come up with a more believable lie? You are just an unknown university student with no relations whatsoever to him. Do you know who he is? Don’t try to get your way in by quoting his name.”
