Chapter 14: Resume Cleaner Than Her Face

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Yi stood in front of the elevator, looking handsome and elegant. He watched the young girl walk forward resolutely. Her slender waist and neck were tensed and her steps were firm. She looked exactly like the first time he entered the company.

Back then, he had a dream and wanted to become a dragon overnight. He didn’t know that he had to struggle in the mud for many years before he could see the light. In his days, there were already ten thousand people who had joined the industry. Now, there were probably a million of them in this industry.

It was extremely difficult to become famous.

Song Qingli bit her lower lip. She searched around for quite some time before she finally found the location for the interview after tracking down one of the staff.

Her appearance made the other interviewees turn quiet for a while. There were a few women, who were much taller, that kept staring at her without saying a word. If they were in ancient times, they would probably skewer her with a fork and roast her.

The young girl didn’t want to cause any trouble so she didn’t care about their gazes. Not long after she arrived, the assistant director called a large group of them into the room.

She only knew that there would be an interview but she didn’t know what role it would be.

It was her first time acting so she wasn’t picky. She just wanted to gain experience. After all, most famous celebrities started off as extras.

She believed that as long as she accumulated enough experience, she would have a chance to become someone like Xiao Yi.

The room was crowded with a large group of people in it. Song Qingli knew that she wasn’t considered shot but there would always be mountains taller than the previous ones. The taller girls stood in one line, without giving any chances to the people behind them.

Opposite these interviewees, there was a row of producers and directors. They have been choosing roles for days and they were getting tired. There were no longer smiling and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

In order to show her face, Song Qingli straightened her back and tried to get to the front. However, these girls, who were as tall as mountains, would block the others from behind so that they couldn’t show their faces.

They hadn’t even entered the entertainment industry yet and they were already scheming against each other?

The young girl had no chance even when she tried squeezing to her left and right. In a moment of anger, her dark eyes stared at the other person’s knee joint.

The producer looked at the girls in front of him, who were like an iron wall, and rolled his eyes. “Assistant director, where did you find these sorghum stalks? I’m trying to look for Nangong Li, a demonic and evil woman who almost killed the main character. These girls are so tall that they would go out of frame.”

Before the producer could finish his sentence, one of the tall girls standing in front of him suddenly knelt down. Everyone in the room was shocked.

“Why did you kick me? You must have gone crazy trying to be famous!” The tall girl was very imposing. She immediately got up from the ground and started scolding Song Qingli with her fingers pointed at Song Qingli’s nose. ” With that foxy look of yours, you’re born to be someone’s toy in bed!”

The producers and directors all turned their heads to look at them. The producer who was about to cause a scene because of how angry he was, was now distracted by the two interviewees.

Producer Su’s eyes were blinded by anger but the assistant director on the side saw the girl who was being blocked the entire time. She held up her chin and looked at the tall girl as if she was looking at trash. The look in her eyes was very interesting.

“You’re a bamboo stick! You and your friends used your height advantage to block the interviewees behind. Wasn’t it you who tried to stir up trouble first?”

“Whose fault is it that you are born short?”

“Then, do you admit that you’re doing it on purpose?”

Many of the interviewees started looking at the tall girls with disgust and they were mumbling to themselves. The taller girls started to feel ashamed and glared at Song Qingli reproachfully. She only managed to squeeze one sentence from the gaps between her teeth, “You’ve outdone yourself! Just wait and see!”

The young girl slightly looked up and a cold smile appeared on her face. “What’s wrong? Are you going to do something behind my back? Only people like you would do such despicable things.”

“You!!”

‘Bang’!

Producer Su slammed the table and stood up.

“Where do you think this is? A place for you to fight? Don’t you know what your identity is and what you should do?”

“Get out!”

“Wait!”

“Wait!”

There were two male voices speaking in unison. Producer Su looked at the assistant director beside him while the rest of the room turned to the door.

The door was suddenly pushed open and a man walked into the room. He had a head full of silver-white hair, a face like jade, and was in high spirits. As soon as he entered the house, the entire room was lit up.

“Oh, Xiao Yi, you’re here just in time. Please help us pick a suitable one for the second female lead in our new drama.” The producer was someone who knew how to act according to the situation. He was such a domineering man earlier but now he was as timid as a kitten. When he smiled, there were at least 5-6 layers of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Song Qingli was in a bad mood. She seemed to have messed up the interview and was even more embarrassed when she saw Xiao Yi. A while ago, in the elevator, she had vowed that she would prove herself to him but in the blink of an eye, she had failed the interview.

Xiao Yi glanced around the room and saw the young girl with her head lowered. The cover of his lips curved upwards as he thought to himself, ‘She is a young girl after all and she does not know the ways in this industry yet.’

The man was pulled to his seat by the producer. “The role of Nangong Li seems a little difficult. Are you really going to use a newcomer?”

“We have no other choice. The female lead wants a raise. We can’t negotiate and so we’ll have to get them to be the second female lead.” Producer Su lowered his voice.

“But, Producer Su, you’ve been auditioning for this role for three days and you still haven’t made your choice.My schedule has been delayed because of this.”

Producer Su immediately bowed and poured a glass of water for Xiao Yi. “Oh my, Xiao Yi. I really can’t afford to offend you but don’t worry, I’ll definitely get the second female lead by today. We’ll have the opening meal tomorrow and it definitely won’t affect your schedule. Please don’t say that you’re going to quit. We’ve already signed the contract.”

“Well, in my opinion, Producer Su is being too picky. I think there’s one person amongst them who is very suitable for the role of Nangong Li.”

“Oh?”

“Nangong Li is the empress of the demonic cultivators. She was able to hide in the immortal world for many years which means she has got some tricks up her sleeves. Moreover, those who are part of the demonic cultivators must be someone with a flirtatious look.” Xiao Yi stood up as he spoke and walked toward the interviewees. The tall girl looked at her prince charming walking towards her with eyes full of hope. She was about to speak when her prince charming spoke first, “Please move aside.”

“…”

Song Qingli looked at Xiao Yi getting closer to her step by step. She couldn’t stop blinking her eyes and her chest was beating like a war drum.

Producer Su also came closer to take a look. Was this the young girl who kicked the others?

The producer had been in the entertainment industry for a long time. Troublemakers like these were the people that he disliked most. It was easy for them to cause trouble. However, the role he had required someone who was domineering and arrogant. If it was a gentle and virtuous-looking girl, it really didn’t match.

The producers and directors sitting there looked at each other and nodded.

Director Su had no other choice but to wave his hand. “You stay. The others can leave.”

Song Qingli felt like she was standing on cloud nine and was feeling alittle erratic.

She stood alone in the room and waited for the interviewees to leave. That’s when she realized that it was a huge room. She placed her hands in front of her and looked up at those who were judging her looks.

There weren’t many newcomers who dared to look directly into the eyes of the directors and producers and for that she was quite bold.

After a long time, the assistant director chuckled. “Normally, we wouldn’t call for an interview for someone like you who has a clean resume but it seems like you’re a fish that has escaped the net.”

“I would like to believe that this is faith. I think that she is very suitable for the role of Nangong Li.”

Producer Su nodded his head but his brows were tightly knitted. “Although I don’t like noisy women, you are indeed the most suitable person for Nangong Li so far.”
