Qin Ruoyao's heart was pounding as she stepped into the audition room.
The three people sitting inside nodded in unison.
Not bad, her face perfectly matched the image of An Xiaoniao.
"Qin Ruoyao, right? Can you dance?" the director asked.
"Yes," she replied.
Dancing could elevate a person's aura.
Qin's Mother had sent Qin Ruoyao to dance classes at a very young age, hoping to make her irresistibly captivating to men.
Qin Ruoyao began to dance gracefully in the center of the room.
"Not bad, not bad," the director nodded approvingly.
"Alright, let's see you perform this scene."
The director handed Qin Ruoyao two pages of the script.
The scene was one where An Xiaoniao feigned vulnerability and wept bitterly.
This was well within Qin Ruoyao's comfort zone.
As she performed, her eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her face like rain on pear blossoms.
Her voice trembled as she delivered her lines.
She perfectly executed the scene.
"My performance is over," Qin Ruoyao said, bowing to the panel.
"Very good," the director couldn't stop nodding.
Qin Ruoyao couldn't help but smile at their praise.
If she could sign with Tianmu Entertainment, this would be her chance to turn her life around.
Suddenly, the door swung open.
Everyone turned to see an extraordinarily handsome man walk in.
None of them had met Lin Xuan before, let alone knew he was their boss.
Lin Xuan looked at Qin Ruoyao in surprise.
What was she doing here?
"Sir, are you here to audition for the role of Prince Guo? We're currently auditioning for An Xiaoniao. Please step out for now," the director said, though his tone wasn't harsh.
He was quite impressed with Lin Xuan's appearance, which perfectly matched the image of Prince Guo—tall, elegant, and dashing.
If his acting skills were good, it would be perfect.
Hearing the director's words, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. So, this was the audition for the script he had brought from another world.
"Not bad, she does suit An Xiaoniao," Lin Xuan nodded.
He casually sat down on a chair, crossing his legs. "Same white lotus personality too."
Qin Ruoyao's face flushed red, and she clenched her fists.
"Lin Xuan, I've already left Qinghua University. Do you still have to humiliate me like this?" she bit her lip, her voice filled with resentment.
"Qin Ruoyao, didn't I tell you that leaving Qinghua University was just the beginning?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Did she think he would let her off so easily?
"What do you think of Qin Ruoyao?" Lin Xuan asked, glancing at the panel.
"Not bad," the director replied from a professional standpoint. "Her appearance fits the delicate image of An Xiaoniao, and her acting is decent."
"Kick her out," Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.
Qin Ruoyao was stunned.
Then she sneered, "Lin Xuan, who do you think you are? You can't just kick me out like that. Are you overestimating yourself?"
"Lin Xuan, I'll show you how I, Qin Ruoyao, will rise to the top. And you? You'll be abandoned by Su Hua, and you'll beg on your knees before me!" Qin Ruoyao whispered to Lin Xuan.
Once she found a wealthy and powerful man to rely on, she would make sure Lin Xuan experienced everything she had gone through.
The three panelists were all quite satisfied with her.
She was confident she could land the role of An Xiaoniao. Once she joined Tianmu Entertainment, with her talent, she would surely be groomed for stardom.
She would become a household name.
Lin Xuan casually rested his hands behind his head and raised an eyebrow. "What a coincidence, I am actually the boss of Tianmu Entertainment."
"Lin Xuan, if you were really the boss of Tianmu Entertainment, why wouldn't they recognize you?" Qin Ruoyao scoffed.
At that moment, Lei Hui pushed the door open and walked in.
The director immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully, "General Manager."
Lei Hui nodded.
He was about to approach Lin Xuan when Qin Ruoyao blocked his path.
Lei Hui looked at Qin Ruoyao, frowning.
Wasn't this Qin Ruoyao?
The person their boss was personally dealing with.
"General Manager, someone is impersonating your boss," Qin Ruoyao said.
"Who?" Lei Hui asked, frowning.
"Lin Xuan," Qin Ruoyao pointed at Lin Xuan.
She glanced at Lin Xuan triumphantly, waiting to see him kicked out of Tianmu Entertainment.
Lei Hui ignored her, stepped past her, and walked up to Lin Xuan, bowing respectfully. "Boss."
Qin Ruoyao's eyes widened in shock.
Boss?
"You just called Lin Xuan... boss?" Qin Ruoyao's face was filled with disbelief.
"That's right," Lei Hui nodded. "He is our boss. Tianmu Group belongs to him."
"No, that's impossible," Qin Ruoyao shook her head, unable to accept it.
How could this be?
How could Lin Xuan own such a massive company?
Lin Xuan stood up calmly from his chair.
"Remove Qin Ruoyao from the company. Additionally, all businesses under Tianmu Group are to permanently blacklist her."
With that one sentence, Qin Ruoyao's fate was sealed.
Her dream of climbing the ladder through Tianmu Entertainment was completely shattered. She staggered back, barely able to stand.
What could she do now?
Starlight Entertainment wouldn't take her, and now Tianmu Entertainment had rejected her.
Which entertainment company would accept her?
If she couldn't break into the entertainment industry, what else could she do?
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Qin Ruoyao, our company doesn't welcome you. Please leave."
Qin Ruoyao bit her lip and stumbled out of Tianmu Group's building.
"Wahhh..."
She crouched on the ground, crying bitterly.
She regretted it, truly regretted it.
If only she had stayed loyal to Lin Xuan, she would be living a happy life now.
Qin Ruoyao returned to the Qin household like a walking corpse.
"Ruoyao, how did the audition go?" Qin's Mother asked with concern.
"I didn't get it," Qin Ruoyao shook her head, her eyes red.
"How is that possible?" Qin's Mother was stunned. With her daughter's talent, how could she have been rejected?
"Mom, the boss of Tianmu Group is Lin Xuan," Qin Ruoyao cried.
"It's him?!" Qin's Mother's face was filled with disbelief.
"Mom, what should I do now?" Qin Ruoyao's tears continued to stream down her face.
Qin's Mother's mind was in chaos.
What could they do?
She had no idea...
"Ugh—" Qin Ruoyao suddenly felt a strong wave of nausea. She stumbled into the bathroom and vomited violently.
