Chapter 132: Audition

Translator: Lonelytree

Zhuang Xin hesitated when she heard that. “Hmm… You mean you can help me find a new sponsor?”

Nie Li nodded but Zhuang Xin looked at her cautiously. Everyone knew who Nie Lie was. She was the big boss’ right hand woman. Every celebrity that she had helped eventually would reach great stardom.

“But why would you help me? I don’t remember you being a charitable person.

“Don’t assume that I’m completely helpless. I still have your secrets with me.” Then Zhuang Xin glared at Mo Li before she hurried away.

Mo Li sighed helplessly.?What a foolish woman to have threatened Nie Li!

Mo Li had read about this segment from the original plot, but the person Zhuang Xin accosted back then was not Mo Li but Qiao Qing. Nie Li also stood up to help Qiao Qing, but at the same time, this was a perfect chance for Nie Li to pursue her own goal.

…

“You saw it yourself, how could they treat us like this?!” Ran Ya followed behind Zhuang Xin, fuming with anger. She said in an exasperated manner, “They used dirty tricks to snatch my role and now they dare to threaten you!”

Zhuang Xin though surprised Ran Yan by sneering, “Silly, think about it. She could snatch the TV drama role from you and the MV lead role from me, that girl must have come from a powerful background.”

“But that doesn’t mean that she can trample all over us!” Ran Ya was so angry that she couldn’t care about maintaining her image anymore. She roared and shouted. Next to her, Zhuang Xin only furrowed her brows.?What if Nie Li is telling the truth? If I can find a new sponsor, then I won’t need to be at President Zhan’s beck and call anymore.

…

“She looks quite angry, what did you tell her?” Mo Li turned to Nie Li and asked.

“It’s nothing, just forget about it. If you encounter such incident again in the future, just remember to be careful.” Nie Li was clearly trying to change the topic.

Mo Li understood, there were many dark sides to this industry. When Mo Zheng just started, a female CEO wanted to hire him as her kept man. It was not until she found out about Mo Zheng’s real identity that she stopped the harassment.

Nie Li didn’t need to go into details but Mo Li knew the things they talked about involved something illegal and dirty or else Nie Li wouldn’t have obscure the truth from her.

Mo Li woke up early the next morning. Even though she was recommended into the cast for Lady in the Snow, Mo Li was told at the last minute, that she still needed to attend a casting audition. Mo Li didn’t ask for the reason, she only knew to do her best.

Mo Li would be reading for the role of Ling Xian Er. Mo Li was familiar with the script already. The story line and structure was not bad, at least it was not a silly romance drama. The drama was adapted from a popular novel, so the crew was under great pressure.

Even though the cast had used 2 famous main leads, many people still had their suspicions and reservations about it. After all, most novel adaptions didn’t come out well. It was why the drama already had a great discussion even though it hadn’t even started its shooting yet.

Even though Ling Xian Er was the third female lead, it was quite a hefty role. The drama had 60 episodes and the teen Ling Xian Er which Mo Li would be auditioning for was in more than 30 episodes.

With manipulation from Nie Li and selection from Cai Wei, the audition for this role had been narrowed down to 3 actors. Mo Li would be the last to read for the part.

Of the 3 actors, one of them was Ran Ya!

It was clear from Nie Li’s expression that she was very dissatisfied about this. However, since Ran Ya was already there, Nie Li wasn’t that uncouth to chase the girl away from the audition room.
