From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables-Chapter 543 - : 254 Audition (Second Update)

Chapter 543: 254 Audition (Second Update)

“Ms. Ming Jing, I truly appreciate your help today,”

Dr. Liu’s office is well soundproofed, and he absolutely hates being disturbed while discussing cosmetic surgery plans with his clients. Therefore, it wasn’t an emergency, she wouldn’t have disturbed him with such matters.

“It was nothing,” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Ming Jing discarded the used cotton swab into the trash bin and put away her tools.

Li Susu gazed at the young girl’s quiet beautiful profile, murmuring, “Dr. Liu has a beauty catalog that compiles all the top beauties in the world. I was once fortunate enough to flip through it. There’s a beauty that resembles you…but I haven’t seen her in person, so I’m not really sure, there are many people in the world that look similar.”

Ming Jing smiled, “Really? Given Dr. Liu’s profession, it’s not surprising.”

“A lot of people who don’t understand him would say he’s a lascivious rogue, but that’s not true. He was just born with a sincere love and respect for beauty. He’s actually a very pure person.”

Talking about Dr. Liu makes Li Susu’s eyes shone like stars.

Ming Jing glanced at her and smiled, “You’re also a very pure person.”

Who could follow someone for nine years without resentments?

Li Susu was taken aback, comprehending what Ming Jing meant by ‘pure’, and she chuckled sardonically.

Just then, the nurse station’s bell rang. Li Susu quickly stood up, shaking off any hint of her soft demeanor and briskly said, “Dr. Liu is calling for me, Ms. Ming Jing, please wait.” As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and quickly left.

Mao Nana’s cosmetic surgery plan was finalized, and she couldn’t wait for Dr. Liu to perform the surgery immediately.

Li Susu returned to relay Mao Nana’s demand, saying the operation would take a long time, probably till midnight. She suggested Ming Jing return home and not wait for her.

It was currently around four in the afternoon, Ming Jing and Liu Muxue left together.

Duan Xiaoxiao, who didn’t have a chance to meet Dr. Liu, also left in disappointment.

“Where are we going?” As they left the building, Liu Muxue stretched lazily and asked casually.

Liu Muxue saw Duan Xiaoxiao trailing behind, gave a delicate huff, and made a show of balling her fist.

Duan Xiaoxiao considered for a moment before approaching with a smile, “Ms. Liu, I sincerely apologize for my previous actions. I didn’t know you were Dr. Liu’s sister, and I almost hurt you. How about I make it up to you and treat you and your friend to dinner since it’s still early?”

Liu Muxue rolled her eyes, “Who wants your dinner? Don’t ever let me see you again.”

Thick-skinned as she was, Duan Xiaoxiao kept her smile intact even when rebuffed, “Ms. Liu, I’m truly upset with your brother. One day everything was great between us and we were even discussing about going on a trip abroad. But the next day, he shut me out and even blocked me on phone and WeChat. He refused to see me no matter how many times I caused a scene. He’s deliberately avoiding me without even saying ‘we’re breaking up’. It’s so difficult for a girl to have a good relationship… ” As she spoke, she began to cry in grievance.

Liu Muxue knew her cousin was no good, but she didn’t expect him to be so bad. She coughed and said, “Just dump this kind of scumbag. Why persist like a dogged plaster? Do you want to disgrace us women? There are plenty of men out there. Why insist on hanging by this crooked tree? Whose fault is that?”

Duan Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn’t expect the other party to cruelly criticise her own brother, leaving her speechless.

“What do you want? For my brother to break up with you face to face? Or do you intend to cling on until he changes his mind? All this is just a charade he’s putting on to save face. The more seriously you take it, the more you lose. At least now, by letting go, you’re leaving a good impression. Persist further and it won’t just be a simple blocking, consider your actions carefully.” Liu Muxue patted her shoulder and quickly left with Ming Jing.

Duan Xiaoxiao, despite her reluctance, knew that Liu Muxue had the right of it.

Just then her phone rang. When she saw the call was from her agent, she picked up.

“Where have you been, my little troublemaker? I managed to get us invited to a dinner tonight just so you could make a good impression on Mr. Wu. We might get a chance at the role then. Don’t mess this up. Come back immediately.”

“It’s just a minor role with few lines to boot. Is it necessary to go to such lengths?”

“What do you know? That is Director Yu. Even a minor role is highly coveted by female stars in the entertainment circle. If you get his approval, you’re set to soar. Never let any opportunity slip by. Get back here now.”

Duan Xiaoxiao grumbled, “I hate drinking. If there’s alcohol involved, I’m not going.”

“Rest assured, you won’t be expected to drink. Just chat and show your face to Mr. Wu. You’ll be more confident for the audition tomorrow morning.”

As soon as Ming Jing walked into the hotel, Lan Huixin hurried over, “Ming Jing, I’ve been waiting for you all day.”Ming Jing glanced at her phone, realizing it was turned off at some point.

She said to Liu Muxue, “You go ahead, I want to talk with her for a bit.”

Liu Muxue looked at Lan Huixin with suspicion, then turned and left.

The two of them sat down in the rest area. When Hu Qing saw this from a distance, she immediately ordered someone to prepare tea.

“Ming Jing, I haven’t formally thanked you for what happened that night. Liang Xiaohong, Han Yue, Zhao Heqiang, and Mr. Zhou all got the punishment they deserved. You lack for nothing, and I don’t know how to thank you.”

Lan Huixin pushed an exquisite bag toward Ming Jing. “This is a special product from my hometown that my mother brought when she came to visit me a few days ago. It’s a unique flower cake from there. I don’t think you’ve tried it before. I specially brought it to you.”

Ming Jing glanced at it and laughed, “You’re from Yunzhou?”

Lan Huixin nodded, “Yes, I moved to Jingzhou to attend the Film Academy. I haven’t been home in two years.”

Her family wasn’t very well off and the tuition for the Film Academy was expensive. Her parents had struggled to support her and she couldn’t burden them further. She hadn’t been home for winter or summer breaks, worked to earn tuition and living expenses, and, with scholarships, managed to be self-sufficient.

The school had rules that freshmen and sophomores couldn’t act in films. Now in her junior year, her classmates either had connections or resources, but she had neither. She could only study hard. A classmate had introduced a resource, but she almost got scammed.

Even so, she didn’t lose heart. She had chosen this path and she wouldn’t give up at the first sign of difficulty.

Ming Jing took a bite of the flower cake. It was crisp and refreshing, with a pleasant floral aroma. She couldn’t help but smile, “It’s very delicious.”

Lan Huixin gave a shy smile, “I’m glad you like it.”

Ming Jing seemed to think of something, “With your qualifications, there should be many talent agencies wanting to sign you, right?”

Lan Huixin shook her head – that wasn’t the case.

Before, while filming groups did come to the school to pick actors, any time a director was interested in her someone else always got in the way. Later, she realized that it was normal given she had no connections and no ability to network.

Later, talent agencies did show interest in her, but she didn’t trust them and didn’t dare to sign.

In truth, sometimes she questioned whether or not she was suited to this profession.

Ming Jing said, “I can recommend a talent agency for you, you can give it a try.”

Lan Huixin’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

She believed completely in any recommendation that Ming Jing would make.

“Don’t get too excited, it’s a new company that hasn’t built up its credentials yet.”

“That’s okay, I trust you.” Lan Huixin’s eyes were bright, as if she had found hope in an instant.

Ming Jing took a business card out of her bag and slid it towards her, “Go to see him. He’ll help you achieve your dream.”

Lan Huixin picked up the card and mumbled to herself, “Unspeakable Entertainment Company, Chief CEO, Qing Zheng.”

“This flower cake is even more authentic than the ones I had in Yunzhou, where did you get it?” Ye Zhen took a bite, the taste lingered in her mouth.

Ming Jing poured a cup of water for her, “Lan Huixin gave it to me. I recommended her to Qing Zheng.”

Ye Zhen nodded, “She really is a good seedling, pragmatic and striving hard. The key is her great conditions and the spiritual energy she possesses. As long as she has an opportunity, she will definitely shine.”

After all, Ye Zhen has been in the entertainment industry for a while and has reached a top position. She has a discerning eye.

Ye Zhen nearly choked and quickly took the water and drank heavily.

“Director Yu Dawei is holding an audition tomorrow morning for his new film. Practically everyone in the entertainment industry, famous or not, has signed up. I’ve read the original IP, and there is a role perfect for Lan. Do you think Qing Zheng can try to secure an audition opportunity for her?”
