Chapter 73 : Return of the entairtainment circle’s superstar (18)

“Do you think so?” Qi Zihua hadn’t slept well for the past two days . His pupils were both greenish black . He looked at Shi Xue with a profound gaze . “《Tomorrow》 was originally prepared for Ye Shaohua . It was also originally a role that was given to her1 . ”

Shi Xue didn’t know why everything was trampled after she had left the country . When she came back, Qi Zihua had actually turned into this .

She looked at Qi Zihua with some pain in her gaze . “If everything can be settled with money, then what is the significance of our existence? I have been on a diet for half a month in order to star in 《Tomorrow》, only to receive this kind of words? Wanting to be the lead actress in 《Tomorrow》, relying on my own acting skills in order to strive for it won’t do?”

“Good,” Qi Zihua lit a cigarette . He said faintly: “At two o’clock this afternoon, there will be the audition for《Tomorrow》 ‘s female lead . ”

As a matter of fact, Ye Shaohua had simply not picked up his phone call . He wanted to put this role in her hands, but he hadn’t had the opportunity to .

Dieting for half a month? What was it compared to Ye Shaohua lying severely injured for half a month and still shooting a drama without saying a word?

If it weren’t for Norman, he was afraid that they basically wouldn’t have known that that woman was shooting with such heavy injuries on her body .

Compared with Shi Xue who was hanging her mouth at the drop of a hat, sparing no effort to sell her misery and to sell her hard-working public persona, Qi Zihua suddenly understood a little . A crying child would always have sweets to eat .

“Thank you Young Master Qi . ” When she heard this sentence, Shi Xue breathed a sigh of relief .

As long as she had the opportunity of a fair competition, how could other people be her opponent, especially Ye Shaohua .

When Shi Xue saw that Qi Zihua didn’t want to speak his mind to her anymore, she pursed up her lips and left his office .

She finally found out today that the wealthy really could do wathever they wanted .

Seeing her go out, Qi Zihua did not move for half a day . Things developed in this way mostly because of his own mistakes . It could be said that Shi Xue was almost completely innocent . How could he deal with this innocent person?

Before, the reason he had decided to stay with Shi Xue was only because the other person had stayed with him in that kind of dangerous time, and it had moved his heart .

But, regardless of the course of event, she, the housekeeper and the others had still gone down the mountain .

Only Ye Shaohua had strongly said she would go up the mountain, but in the end, it was her alone who saved him and led the group of black-clothed people away, almost losing her life .

It was impossible to be together with her . Qi Zihua knew now that when he closed his eyes, he would only be able to see that person’s shadow .

**

Shi Xue and Liang Ge both concluded that the matter of the role had been settled, and they then leisurely went to the shopping mall to buy things for the orphanage .

She had come out of an orphanage . At that time, Liang Ge had also given her a strong and independent public persona .

Let the netizens feel more distressed for her .

Every time she bought something from an orphanage, she always used a very big hand2 . Thus, all the children in the orphanage liked her very much . At that time, Qi Zihua had also started noticing her because of her kindness .

Obviously, her own food and clothing were not good, yet she bought so many things for the children in the orphanage .

“Miss, the money on your card is not enough . ” When the time to pay the bill came, the customer service personnel of the store looked at her clothes with a complicated look .

When she heard this sentence, Shi Xue’s face went stiff .

“So…sorry,” although she was wearing sunglasses, her face was so red it could drip blood . “I don’t want all of these things…”

She fled in defeat out of the mall and then went to the nearby bank to check her money .

Although she shot a few shows and also received several announcements, she was still just a newcomer . She was also paid a newcomer’s reward . The assistant agent’s expenses were deducted from her salary . The company also had to draw a 45% commission for the cost of miscellaneous various other things .

Although Shi Xue had grown up in an orphanage, these people Ye mother and Ye father were very good to her . Every time they hit her card, the money on it turned into more than five digits . On weekdays, she would go shopping with Ye Shaohua and she(SH) would always buy her gifts .

Therefore, the things she used were all of superior quality .

Thus, she could throw away money by the handful by shopping for the children of the orphanage .

It could be said that although she was an orphan, she had never worried about food and clothes or worried about spending money .

Now Ye Father and Ye Mother had broken contact with her . These days, the money she had on her card had not been increased . She also hadn’t done her own shopping . All her things would have to be drawn from her own efforts now .

In this way, the money on her card was not enough .

However, Shi Xue did not realize this . She only felt that Ye father and Ye Mother couldn’t understand right from wrong . Moreover, Ye Shaohua really broke contact with her . Her heart couldn’t help but somewhat resent those people from Ye Family .

**

Ye Shaohua originally didn’t want to come to the audition, but the director of 《Tomorrow》knew Director Zhou and asked Director Zhou to let her come .

Ye Shaohua could not refuse Director Zhou’s good intentions, and had no other alternatives but to go .

She did not expect to see Shi Xue and He Musheng at the audition site in the end .

Most artists in the entertainment industry knew that 《Tomorrow》’s director only had eyes for Ye Shaohua, so there was no meaning to come and court a rebuff . In general, the actors all came for roles like 2 female lead or 3rd female lead .

“Shaohua, you go walk slowly . I will speak to the director later . You take a break and drink some replenishing soup before the audition . This soup was given to me by uncle3 . ” Zhou Qing held a thermos towards Ye Shaohua’s back, and several assistants took care of it very meticulously .

Shi Xue deliberately did not greet to Ye Shaohua . Her two blockbuster movies were about to go on the market . At that time, her worth would be different from now .

If it was before, she would have told Ye Shaohua about the matter of her going to Hollywood .

But now she didn’t want to tell her even a bit . She conveniently didn’t want to take up Ye Shaohua’s place .

“Shaohua has always been like that, but I didn’t expect the crew to change like this in the end . You are more successful than her after all, Sheng Ge4 . ” Shi Xue looked at the crew’s people who gave Ye Shaohua a stool .

Originally He Musheng would respond in agreement to her words, but she did not expect that, this time, He Musheng didn’t speak . He just looked at her somewhat strangely .

“Don’t tire yourself too much, this Second Daughter leading role is definitely yours . ” Zhou Qing spoke in a neither loud nor quiet voice . “We are just going through the motions . ”

Hearing this, Shi Xue sneered .

They still didn’t know yet . Qi Zihua didn’t let the director select someone for a position before the audition . Zhou Qing also didn’t know . Ye Shaohua had always just had a good face . In fact, she basically didn’t have even a bit of acting skillsl .

No one knew this better than her . Therefore, the director of 《Jianghu》5 had settled on her with only a glance .

The audition room was sealed off, and Shi Xue was the last one to audition for the female lead role .

In practice, the artists auditioning for a role would all be notified separately two or three days after the audition for the result . However, 《Tomorrow》’s female lead role would be announced on the spot .

When the director came out, Shi Xue stood up and a moderate smile appeared on her mouth . She still looked at Ye Shaohua from the corner of her eyes, and was unable to conceal her complacency .

However, the director directly passed by her and walked, all smiles, towards Ye Shaohua . “Little Shaohua, I have long wanted to work together with you . This time, the time has finally come . ”

When Shi Xue was hit by this scene, her anger surged up . She looked at the closeby Ye Shaohua and the other people and sneered: “How could it be her? Ye Shaohua, I didn’t think that you would still be a dog who can’t stop himself from eating shit6! Which cast and crew would be willing to part with money7 . How much did you pay this time?!”
