On the other side, Siyu entered the meeting room that was used for the audition. She looked at the several people who were sitting over there and was surprised to find that beside Director Liang Qian and a sponsor, Ji Lin was also there!

Ji Lin’s role as the male lead had been publicized from an earlier time. However, Siyu didnt expect that Ji Lin would unexpectedly be pulled here to act as a judge!

Seemingly aware of Siyus gaze, Ji Lin turned his face to the side. He stealthily blinked at her and mouthed the word jia you. [T/N: jiayou – is a word of encouragement, like fighting! or ganbatte!]

Siyu had never acted in a drama before and was feeling a little nervous when she entered. However, seeing Ji Lin pretended to be well-behaved, her heart warmed up and she slowly regained her composure.

“You are Zhou Siyu?” Director Liang Qian carefully scrutinized her and nodded with satisfaction, “very good. Yu Ling didnt recommend the wrong person. You could choose a scene to perform.”

When Siyu was waiting, she saw the examination paper. The role she wanted to audition for was princess Yunhe of the subjugated nation. This princess was born weak and sick. She was a girl with few words. If shes compared to the second female lead, Yun Meng – her younger sister – one was a pearl while the other was a rock. All along, her sense of existence wasnt high. When the country was defeated, the enemy broke into the imperial city and the royal family fled through the hidden chamber. The two sisters, Yun He and Yun Meng, were delayed for some time due to an accident. Seeing that the stone gate to the secret pathway was about to close and it wasnt enough for two people to pass together, Yun Meng pushed Yun He hard and quickly entered the secret pathway. She abandoned her own sister outside and left her alone to face the imperial city filled with the rebels army.

At that time, except for Yun He, all the royal family had run away. The rebel army rushed into the empty room and had no other choice but to catch Yun He alone to vent their anger. They torture her in every possible way and forced her to spill out the location of the secret pathway. Although Yun He was abandoned by her sister, she still kept her mouth shut. Because her health was too poor, after enduring the interrogation with torture for a period of time, she was soon tortured to death. However, until her death, she kept the last dignity of the princess from a conquered nation and never yielded to the rebels.

As for Yun Meng, she escaped through that day. Several years later, she came back for revenge. She disguised herself and entered the imperial palace in the name of “taking revenge for her sister”. In the way, she became a favored concubine and developed a love and hate feeling towards the new emperor. However, it was useless. In the end, the new emperor’s love still remained for his little green plum. No matter what, Yun Meng suffered the fate of cannon fodder. From start to finish, Yun He was just a minor character in this love and hate dispute. Making an appearance at the beginning, leading to be the reason for Yun Mengs “revenge”, then died a glorious death. [ from – a man and woman who had an innocent affection or each other in childhood AKA childhood sweethearts]

After she finished reading the script, Siyu pondered about the drama: acting weak and sick? Its her strong point!

So she picked the scene where Yun He was tormented by the rebel troops, a scene where shes at her death door. She imagined that Fifth Master Lu was standing in front of her and both of her legs immediately went soft. She conveniently fell and laid askew on the floor. She began to cough up blood with a pale face, coughing until her vision became blurry. Then she looked up towards the judges as if her life was diminishing.

That glance was filled with the pain of suffering, but then very quickly the expression in her eyes turned calm, unperturbed towards the imminent death. Then, she closed her eyes slightly with a smile on her lips as if she was showing contempt to the enemy troops.

Her death was not humiliation, rather it was a glory. She bore the anger of the whole rebel troops with this frail body of hers, yet she held onto the pride of an honorable princess till her death. She died a worthy death and she died with no regrets.

Siyu slowly relaxed her body and let go all of her strength. Just like a butterfly with broken wings, she fell slowly onto the ground without any sound.

The whole meeting room went silent. Ji Lin was the first to come back to his senses. He really wanted to dash over help his elder sister up. It looked painful to fall like that! However, with everybody watching, it wouldnt be good if he showed too particular behavior. Thus, he could only use his eyes to signal Xiao Ai who was standing beside him to help the person up.

The next one to snap out of it was Director Liang Qian. He was an expert. Naturally, he could see that Siyus acting was unripe and she had never received any training. However, whats rare from Siyu was that her act was “real” enough. This word was very easy to say and very hard to do. Most of it depended on the persons talent. Liang Qian had this confidence that what he was seeing right now was definitely a piece of unpolished jade!

“Good, good!” Lian Qians expressions hardly cover their excitement. Whether it was Siyus slender and sickly appearance or that hard-to-distinguish-real-from-fake acting when she was pretending to be sick, they all made Lian Qian feel very satisfied. He almost gave the final verdict right away, “This role of Yun He, its up to you.”

“Director Liang, dont you need to think about it again?” At this time, the sponsor who hadnt uttered any words spoke. He was a refined middle-aged man and was looking at Siyu coldly, “There are still many candidates, why rush to make a decision? At least, see it all through first. How about that?”

Lian Qians eyebrows twitched. How could he not understand the sponsors meaning. He had indirectly disapproved of Siyu!

This person was the biggest sponsor of the production team. Liang Qiang couldnt afford to offend him. If it was an important role, he as the director could still argue. However, Siyu auditioned for was merely a cannon fodder whose appearance on stage was less than three minutes. To be honest, anyone can play this role. If he strongly argued with the sponsor for this role, it would appear that he wasnt very sensible.

Even with this reasoning, Lian Qian still felt very regretful. After all, he had encountered an actress that fit this role very much, just like a treasure that had been dug out. Although this was just a minor character, to let her out like this, he still felt regretful ah!

However, he couldnt do anything about it. The world was boundless and wealth was the greatest. Lian Qian had no choice but to reluctantly pretend that he didnt understand what was happening and said towards Siyu, “Well, if its like this then you can go back first and wait for the notice.”

Siyu wasnt stupid. She knew that it most likely meant that she didnt make it. Anyway, with this unskilled and blindly fumbling acting skill of hers, it was normal that she wasnt chosen. She didnt feel any grievance at all. She wanted to leave after bidding a polite farewell.

“Wait, wait. I think shes completely qualified for the role.” Ji Lin suddenly talked after ignoring the desperate hints sent by Xiao Ai. After he said this, all the gazes in the meeting room focused on him. However, Ji Lin turned a blind eye towards it and only paid his attention to Siyu, “There are so many roles that need to be decided today. If in each role we have to go through all of the candidates, it would be a waste of time. I think for a minor character like Yun He, we could immediately settle it as soon as we came across a suitable one.”

After that, Ji Lin turned towards that sponsor. His eyes were profound and his voice brought a hint of sharp coldness, “just now Director Liang had affirmed the acting skills of this lady. I also think that her performance was remarkable and she is completely qualified for the role. Im not sure whats your opinion on this, Chairman Wang. You might as well say it and let Miss Zhou nicely return back, correct?

No one expected Ji Lin to suddenly raise a difficult question. For the sake of Yun He, this minor character, he verbally attacked the sponsor for the production team. Chairman Wang was stunned for a few seconds, his face went red, but he didnt speak anymore.

Others might not know, but he knew that Ji Lin wasnt an ordinary superstar, rather he was Ji familys only son! The Ji family was the local tyrant of Jiang City. It was all within a circle. Theres no need for him to dispute with Young Master Ji over such a small matter. Thereupon, Chairman Wang took the initiative, “I dont have any experience in this. Since you both think that shes suitable, you guys might as well make the decision.”

At the same time, Chairman Wang also grumbled in his heart. It was all Xu Qingwans, that troublesome bitch, fault for especially requesting him to eliminate that girl called Zhou Siyu during the audition. If it werent for this, he wouldnt lose his face like this!

Siyu also didnt expect that Ji Lin would stand up for her. This foolish brother..

It was finally set that she would play as Yun He. Siyu left the meeting room and discovered that Xu Qingwan actually hadnt left and was leaning against a wall. Once she saw her coming out, Xu Qingwan immediately step forward and asked with deep concern, “How is it? Is it successful?”

For some reason, Siyu always felt a subtle impression from Xu Qingwan. After a few moments, she replied under Xu Qingwans eager gaze, “Its successful. In the future, we will be working together on the same team.”

Xu Qingwans upturned lips went unnaturally stiff. However, she quickly readjusted, “congrats, congrats, Ive said that youll be okay.”

After a few polite words, Xu Qingwan left in a hurry under the pretext of being busy. When she was far away from Siyus range of sight, she immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Chairman Wang. She sent a few messages in a row, but there was no response from over there. As if the person didnt want to pay attention to her. Xu Qingwan was so angry that she almost threw her phone away.

Zhou Siyu, Zhou Siyu. Why couldnt she just obediently disappear from her sight? !

Riel: Have you guys ever met such an aggravating person in real life? For me I luckily have never met such a person.
