From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids-Chapter 31: Extra Actor

She felt suspicious. These past few days, Little Su Luo had been inexplicably unhappy, and she couldn’t find the reason.

System: Oh no, it seems like the vicious aunt is about to find out.

At this moment, an unknown call came through on her phone.

"Hello, who is this?" Su Xingwan said politely.

There was a slight pause on the other end.

"It’s me, Chen Zhicai. It’s only been a few days, and you don’t recognize me anymore?"

He wondered when Su Xingwan became so polite.

Su Xingwan realized it was the agent from Yuehua Entertainment who had called her a few days ago, shortly after her arrival here.

"Is there something you need?"

Chen Zhicai coughed a few times.

He wasn’t sure what had changed. Before, when Su Xingwan kept pestering Yuehua Entertainment, he couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her.

He looked down on her, and now that she had given up on signing with their company, he felt a bit uneasy.

"I saw your job hunting information on your social media..."

Su Xingwan was surprised, "You’re calling to offer me a job?"

Would he really be so kind?

Chen Zhicai: "Yeah, you always wanted to sign with Yuehua Entertainment before, right?"

"You didn’t meet our requirements before, but today our boss said he’s willing to give you another chance."

"If you still want to continue in this entertainment industry, you need to accept some necessary conditions."

He had learned about Su Xingwan’s recent downturn from Wu Qian; she was struggling and quite poor now.

Single, with two kids, living a tough life.

He thought, under these circumstances, Su Xingwan would agree to Yuehua Entertainment’s unequal terms.

Su Xingwan: "What conditions?"

Chen Zhicai coughed a few times: "Let’s not talk about those for now."

"A few days ago, an investor visited me. He’s looking to invest in a few new actors for a project. I thought this could be a good opportunity. As long as you come to Huatan Hotel tomorrow night and have a few drinks with this investor, you could get an important role. What do you think?"

He thought of Su Xingwan immediately after hearing this from the investor.

Though Su Xingwan had a bad temper and was self-centered, he couldn’t deny her strikingly beautiful face, which stood out even among other actresses in the entertainment industry.

Lately, he had been thinking that signing her back then wouldn’t have caused any loss to Yuehua Entertainment. If she didn’t become famous, she’d just be one of many dormant artists.

He couldn’t understand why he refused to sign her at the time.

Su Xingwan understood.

Wow, they want her to agree to the unspoken rules.

She cursed, "Thanks a lot!"

With a "bang," she hung up the phone.

Chen Zhicai: ...

He overthought it; she was still the arrogant Su Xingwan from before.

The two little ones playing with toys and watching the tablet in the living room saw their aunt’s angry face.

"Auntie, are you unhappy from the phone call?"

"Auntie, don’t be angry. It’ll make you age faster," Little Su Hua came over to comfort her.

"Hua Bao, where did you learn all this?" Su Xingwan felt comforted.

"From the tablet."

Su Xingwan looked over. The two kids would watch the tablet while playing with toys, and in just a few days, they’d learned to browse the internet and watch short videos happily.

At this moment, Su Xingwan just wanted to lay flat, not work for money, and have food, drink, and clothes without worrying about life.

Soon, another unknown call came to Su Xingwan’s phone.

Su Xingwan answered it, puzzled.

"Hello, is this Su Xingwan?" The voice on the other end was calm and polite.

"Yes, who are you?" Su Xingwan replied.

"Don’t you remember me? We met on the street a while ago," Tang Muya said, mentioning her name.

Su Xingwan recalled the kind-hearted person who had given her a red envelope on the street.

"Miss Tang Muya?"

"Yes, it’s me," she laughed.

Su Xingwan: "You called because...?"

Tang Muya: "I saw your job hunting information online. I have a part-time job here, just wondering if you’d be interested."

Without even asking what the job was, Su Xingwan immediately agreed.

She just asked, "Is it convenient to bring children over?"

"Yes, it’s fine. I’ll talk to Director Chen about it. By the way, do you have any acting experience?"

Su Xingwan truthfully replied, "No."

Tang Muya laughed, "That’s okay. You can start from the bottom as an extra. Is that alright?"

Su Xingwan was stunned, an extra?

Tang Muya noticed her silence and asked.

"You don’t want to?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"I do!"

She had never experienced acting before, only seen it in short videos on her phone.

She used to work in an office and sometimes fantasized about a different life; she never expected it to come true this time.

The mere thought of it felt wonderful.

Tang Muya: "Alright, being an extra can be quite tough. It doesn’t pay much compared to regular actors, usually around 80 to over 100 a day. Of course, if you’re lucky and get a slightly better role, you could make a few hundred a day."

"By the way, if you want to continue this work, you’re welcome to. If you run out of acting resources, call me, and I will ask a few friends to help find you something."

Su Xingwan felt like crying.

"You’re an amazing person!"

Tang Muya laughed at her words.

"Then why don’t you get ready and bring your niece and nephew to Hengdian tomorrow?"

"No problem, I’ll definitely be there tomorrow!" Su Xingwan said gratefully.

After ending the chat, she immediately posted on social media, announcing she had found a job and thanked Tang Muya for her help.

Zhang Qiaoqiao and Wu Qian were stunned when they saw that Su Xingwan’s job was to become an extra.

They both commented in her feed: [???][???]

Zhang Qiaoqiao: [Su Xingwan, you’ve really made something of yourself!]

Wu Qian mocked: [Even if you’re so poor you can’t afford food, there’s no need to take such a job, right?]

In Su Xingwan’s social media, there were also some "plastic" friends of the original host who commented.

[I bet she can’t stick it out.]

[I bet she’ll be back in less than a week.]

[I bet she’ll be back in less than a day.]

Chen Zhicai was also baffled when he learned that Su Xingwan took a bottom-tier role as an extra.

She has a shortcut, yet she chose the hardest, most tiring path. Doesn’t she know an extra’s path is the hardest to break through and succeed in?

Is she out of her mind???

He wanted to message her, but realized he had been deleted from her WeChat.

"..."

Chen Zhicai was so angry he jumped around his room in rage.
