Designing Lin Qingyan

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Lin Li pretended not to know and asked, "Why are you suddenly saying these things to me?"

Lin Chang smiled, "It's nothing, let's go back."

They returned to the Lin family home together.

Lin Qingxiu was currently helping out at Lin Li's company, while Lin Qingyan hadn't had any acting roles for a long time.

Previously, Xinghui Group had provided Lin Qingyan with a lot of resources, cultivating her into a popular young actress.

However, since Xinghui Group went bankrupt and collapsed, it could no longer provide resources for her.

She could only rely on her previous fame to get acting jobs.

But as the shows she filmed flopped one after another,

there were no longer any good scripts coming her way.

Lin Qingyan could only pin her hopes on Lin Li's medical company, waiting for it to develop.

In the future, many people would try to curry favor with Li'er, and as his older sister, she would also get a lot of good resources as a result.

Lin Qingyan originally felt very guilty towards Lin Xuan, but ever since Xinghui Group collapsed,

her resources were also affected.

In the past, she was a popular young actress, highly sought after. Now, any random, unknown third-tier artist could step all over her.

This created a strong sense of disparity and loss in Lin Qingyan's heart.

She couldn't help but start blaming Lin Xuan.

If Lin Xuan hadn't brought down Xinghui Group, she would still be that popular young actress. How could she have ended up like this?

"Yanyan."

Her agent called Lin Qingyan and said excitedly, "There's a dinner party here for the script of The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge. General Manager Li said you can come and audition for a role in it."

"Really?" Lin Qingyan said excitedly.

"Absolutely true," the agent said with a smile. "Come over quickly and let General Manager Li see you."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lin Qingyan's face was full of joy.

The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge was a major investment, and its genre was the kind that would definitely become a hit.

This was a great resource.

If she could become the female lead of The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge, she would easily make a comeback.

As long as she became popular again, even without relying on Xinghui Group, she would still be able to get good resources.

Lin Qingyan quickly hurried to the hotel.

Her agent was waiting for her at the door.

"Yanyan, you're finally here."

The agent reminded her, "Later, remember to perform well. Maybe this role in The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge will fall right into your lap."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I will definitely do my best," Lin Qingyan nodded and said.

She followed her agent toward the private dining room.

They ran into Lei Hui and Lin Xuan.

Lei Hui said, "Boss, isn't that Lin Qingyan?"

"Yeah." Lin Xuan nodded indifferently. "Everyone has arrived at the celebration banquet now, let's not keep them waiting."

"Okay," Lei Hui nodded.

Lin Xuan and Lei Hui continued walking toward their private room.

Lin Qingyan also saw Lin Xuan.

She originally wanted to call out to him, but her gaze gradually became complex.

The words to call Lin Xuan got stuck in her throat.

"Yanyan, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and follow me," the agent urged, looking at the sixty-million-yuan star standing there motionless.

"Okay," Lin Qingyan nodded.

She followed the agent into a rather large private room.

Lin Qingyan thought there would be a lot of people in this room, but it turned out there was only a potbellied, rather greasy-looking middle-aged man.

As soon as she walked in.

The middle-aged man's gaze sized her up without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Qingyan felt completely uncomfortable being stared at like that.

She really wanted to turn around and leave.

But... she really wanted to get the female lead role in The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge.

The agent said, "Yanyan, this is General Manager Li. He is the biggest investor in The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge. Naturally, he can insert anyone he wants into the roles."

"Remember to butter him up well."

Lin Qingyan walked nervously up to the middle-aged man, "General Manager Li, hello, I am Lin Qingyan."

General Manager Li stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over Lin Qingyan inch by inch.

"This face is quite nice, very fitting for the female lead." General Manager Li nodded.

"It's just that your figure is covered by your clothes. Whether it's good or not, I don't know."

"How about this, you take off your clothes and let me get a good look at your figure."

Lin Qingyan's face turned pale.

"No."

Previously, as the daughter of the Xinghui Group's chairman, Lin Qingyan had never experienced these unspoken rules of the casting couch.

However, she understood General Manager Li's meaning the moment she heard it.

Even though she didn't have any resources right now.

But once Li'er developed the medical company, she would have resources sooner or later.

There was absolutely no need for her to submit to the casting couch.

"I'm sorry, General Manager Li, I won't be acting in this role."

Lin Qingyan turned around, wanting to leave.

"Wait." General Manager Li called out to stop her. He smiled, "Miss Lin, I was just joking with you just now."

"If you don't want to take them off, forget it."

"Come here."

General Manager Li waved at Lin Qingyan, "Let's have a good chat about the female lead of The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge."

General Manager Li had actually had his eyes on Lin Qingyan for a long time.

It was just that Lin Qingyan was Lin Chang's daughter, so he had never dared to make a move on her.

Now it was perfect.

Both of the Lin family's companies had gone bankrupt and collapsed.

And Lin Xuan, the most promising person in the Lin family, treated the Lin family as his enemies.

It was even more impossible for Lin Xuan to stand up for Lin Qingyan.

He didn't need to worry about anything anymore.

Today, he was going to make Lin Qingyan his woman!

The agent said, "Yanyan, hurry up and keep Boss Li company. This is a great opportunity to make a comeback. If you miss it, there might not be another one in the future."

Lin Qingyan bit her lip and walked back in front of General Manager Li.

"Sit down, Miss Lin," General Manager Li said with a smile.

Lin Qingyan then sat in a seat quite far away from General Manager Li.

General Manager Li spoke up, "Miss Lin, I invested five hundred million in The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge, making up the majority of the investment. Who gets to be the female lead is nothing more than a single word from me."

After saying that.

General Manager Li stood up from the sofa and walked over to sit right beside Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan felt completely uncomfortable.

"Miss Lin."

"There are a lot of people fighting for this role. What about you? Do you want it?" General Manager Li asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I do," Lin Qingyan nodded.

The Prosperous Song of Chang'ge was a massive IP. As soon as the news came out that this IP had been greenlit for a film and television adaptation, she had wanted to be the female lead.

However, it was very difficult for it to be her turn; previously, she only dared to dream about it.

That was why she was so excited now that she actually had a chance.

"Miss Lin, you should know that Xinghui Group has already collapsed. With your current fame, you definitely can't reach this piece of the pie."

"If you want to get this role, you have to give something in return."

General Manager Li said, "Miss Lin, you are so smart, you should understand what I mean, right?"
