Chapter 41 -041: What a Coincidence, You Are Also Here for the Audition
Director Li had rented one of the floors of the Lizi Building as the audition venue.
Shen Yan glanced at the Lizi Building which she had just returned to, then turned to share a look with Liu Su and suddenly said, “Why does this Lizi Building seem so familiar?”
“Huh?”
Liu Su was taken aback, his eyes clouded with confusion.
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and said, “Never mind.”
She hadn’t paid much attention to it before.
But now that she thought about it, she felt that she had heard of this building somewhere before—it wasn’t from that book, so perhaps the original author hadn’t mentioned it?
Why, then, did she feel this sense of familiarity?
A brief moment of doubt caused Shen Yan’s steps to falter slightly, but before she could contemplate it further, a familiar female voice sounded from behind.
“Shen Yan? Are you here for the audition too?”
Turning around, Shen Yan saw Chu Jinghe and, one step behind her, Mu Jincheng.
Encountering the male and female leads again, Shen Yan’s movements halted momentarily.
Liu Su instantly went on high alert, discreetly positioning himself in front of Shen Yan.
Mu Jincheng cast a glance at Liu Su, who stood slightly ahead, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Was this Shen Yan’s new agent?
He seemed steady, not an ordinary person.
“Yes, I’m here for the audition,” Shen Yan said, looking past Chu Jinghe and catching a glimpse of Mu Jincheng at her side, her lips curving into a slight smile.
That smile, like a shimmering diamond, drew people’s eyes.
Chu Jinghe’s internal alarm bells rang, and she quickly probed, “Is it Director Li’s film?”
“Yes, looks like we’re all here for this drama. Let’s go upstairs together,” Shen Yan suddenly changed her usual demeanor and invited them both to join her.
Mu Jincheng was initially taken aback by Shen Yan’s smile and then felt disgust.
Shen Yan couldn’t change her ways, shamelessly trying to seduce him in public—completely disgraceful.
Keeping a stern face, Mu Jincheng moved to Chu Jinghe’s side, his voice softened, “Let’s go.”
In Mu Jincheng’s eyes, Shen Yan auditioning for Director Li’s film was just setting herself up for humiliation.
With Shen Yan’s shitty acting, she’d be booted offstage the moment she appeared.
Since Shen Yan had come to make a fool of herself, he might as well stay and watch her make a spectacle of herself.
Remembering the information his people had dug up, Mu Jincheng was even more convinced that Shen Yan had secured a rich and powerful backer, otherwise, she wouldn’t have snagged the AIYA endorsement.
Pandering with one’s looks wasn’t a sustainable strategy, and she wouldn’t last long in the entertainment industry.
Such scandals would inevitably be uncovered.
He waited to see Shen Yan’s downfall.
Chu Jinghe smiled demurely, standing at the forefront with a sense of entitlement, accepting Mu Jincheng’s “protection” naturally.
Ever since learning of Mu Jincheng’s hidden status that day, Chu Jinghe had resolutely focused her attention on him.
Compared to Xu Zishen’s ambiguous status as a wealthy heir, Mu Jincheng was a bona fide scion of a powerful family.
The Shen City Mu Family was no ordinary wealthy clan.
Certainly not something that any rich second generation from a province could match.
The moment Shen Yan appeared just now, Chu Jinghe felt that unexplainable sense of crisis wash over her again.
Fortunately, Mu Jincheng was plenty good to her.
She even suspected that Mu Jincheng had entered the entertainment industry because of her.
Otherwise, with his family background, there was no need for him to stoop to this industry and suffer indignities.
At that thought, Chu Jinghe’s heart swelled with sweetness.
As long as Mu Jincheng’s heart remained with her, there would always be a chance to completely conquer him.
Fifth floor.
Upon exiting the elevator, three rows of chairs were immediately in view, with staff controlling the area.
A person in charge brightened upon seeing Mu Jincheng and immediately approached, “Teacher Mu and Mr. Chu came together?”
Mu Jincheng nodded: “This many people?”
“These are all auditioning for other roles, most actresses are here for the role of the third female lead.”
“I’ve looked over the role of the third female lead, the character design is pretty good,” Chu Jinghe said, unable to help glancing in another direction.
Shen Yan hadn’t followed them; instead, she took her audition number and sat outside waiting.
Chu Jinghe was the pre-determined female lead; two days prior, Director Li had already met with her personally.
Director Li was worried about finding a male lead, so Chu Jinghe mentioned Mu Jincheng to him.
She also expressed to Mu Jincheng her desire for him to play the male lead.
For the sake of being in the same production as Chu Jinghe, Mu Jincheng had also specially leveraged his family connections and met privately with Director Li yesterday.
After seeing Mu Jincheng’s acting and considering his appearance and demeanor, which fit the male lead, Director Li was very impressed.
However, Director Li still hoped that Mu Jincheng would come to audition.
Mu Jincheng had made a partial investment in the production, and he had acting skills; unless Director Li was foolish, he wouldn’t eliminate him.
Chu Jinghe’s gaze drifted over, and Mu Jincheng subconsciously followed her look.
Seeing Shen Yan sitting there among a group of stars preparing to audition, he couldn’t help but wonder which role was Shen Yan aiming for?
“Jincheng, let’s also follow the rules, take a number, and wait for the audition,” said Chu Jinghe, lowering her voice near Mu Jincheng’s ear.
The coordinator, noticing how familiar the two seemed, flashed a knowing look and swallowed any further comment.
Director Li had given the two a bit of privilege, instructing that once they arrived, they would be auditioned first.
“Okay.”
Seeing the compliant manner in which Mu Jincheng responded, Chu Jinghe had trouble suppressing the smile creeping at the corners of her mouth.
Their agent got numbers for both of them.

At this moment, Liu Su was very anxious.
He was annoyed with himself for not verifying whether Mu Jincheng was auditioning for this drama.
It resulted in an unexpected encounter here.
From the past two days’ behavior, Liu Su could tell that Shen Yan had a certain special regard for Mu Jincheng.
Back on the first floor, Shen Yan had especially smiled at Mu Jincheng.
His mind flashed again with the images of Shen Yan going crazy over Qi Si, along with all the unfiltered insults:
Mu Jincheng was her idol; she entered the entertainment industry for her idol; she stayed chaste for her idol; Qi Si, you are trash, and so on.
In short, every possible insult was hurled.
Not at all like the daughter of a wealthy family.
Shen Yan was a lunatic who would throw a teapot at Qi Si just for the sake of Mu Jincheng!
Seeing Liu Su’s defensive stance, Shen Yan didn’t say much.
Instead, she took out yesterday’s script to read.
She reviewed the lines in it.
“Eh? Shen Yan, are you auditioning for the role of the third female lead?”
It was Chu Jinghe’s voice again.
Hearing the sound, the people sitting in front turned their heads for a look.
Only then did they realize such a top beauty was sitting behind them, and for a moment, they were somewhat taken aback.
“Mhm.”
“What a coincidence, Jincheng is auditioning for the male lead,” Chu Jinghe commented casually, yet with an undertone of probe and provocation.
Shen Yan glanced at her, “Quite a coincidence indeed.”
Shen Yan’s indifference caused Chu Jinghe to imperceptibly arch an eyebrow.
Mu Jincheng sat down next to Chu Jinghe, and hearing Shen Yan’s response, he scoffed to himself.
She wants the role of the third female lead?
Overestimating herself.
Remembering that the third female role had no small amount of scenes with the male lead, Mu Jincheng’s expression grew even grimmer.
Shen Yan hadn’t given up on getting closer to him!
The mere thought of acting with Shen Yan made Mu Jincheng feel nauseous.
He began to consider using his connections to speak with Director Li about this matter; he was set to be the male lead, and there was no way he’d allow Shen Yan to play the third female lead.
Then, when he thought of Shen Yan’s twisted acting, he felt his concern was completely unnecessary.
