Chapter 81: Just Like Cousin

Translator: Zayn_

When she got home, Chen Lan sent him the audition script.

The audition usually only gave a rough background and lines for a particular scene. Song Qingyou only needed to watch for a few minutes to remember them.

Although she had never been an actress, she had done artist-related work in other worlds and had also watched filming.

Therefore, this shouldn’t be a problem for her!

Song Qingyou read her lines and looked down to see her cat staring at her.

“Zhizhi also thinks that I’m doing good, right?”

Jiang Zhihan jumped onto the sofa and refused to comment.

Just now, Song Qingyou had played two episodes of the web drama she had acted in before.

To be honest, she looked like a block of wood inside.

However, when Song Qingyou read the lines of this plot, her tone was full of emotion and her expression was very cooperative.

She wasn’t particularly outstanding, but she wasn’t a pretty face either.

It was completely different from the performance in that web drama.

If Song Qingyou could keep up, the audition shouldn’t be a problem.

Thinking about it, she must have done a lot of practice in private.

In the evening.

The topic of Shen Xiyan’s apology had dropped in popularity and it would not be long before it was forgotten.

Of course, the premise was that those people did not click on Shen Xiyan’s Weibo homepage and see the video of her bald head and bare face.

Tao Mi helped Shen Xiyan pack her things and prepared to go to the filming place.

Shen Xiyan sat at the side and watched. “Yes, put this dress over there and fold it neatly for me. Do we have to leave today? Can’t the director wait one more day?”

“The director said that the male lead has already arrived. They don’t want to delay any longer.”

Shen Xiyan snorted. “It’s great to have so many fans and a great celebrity!”

“Right, where’s Song Qingyou? She should be very pleased with herself right now, right? Have you found out about her recent schedule?”

Tao Mi nodded. “Song Qingyou has rejected a lot of endorsements and commercial activities. She seems to have accepted an audition for a Machiavellian drama. The audition should be for the third female lead.”

Shen Xiyan: “Does the third female lead have a lot of scenes?”

“I don’t think it’s a lot.” Tao Mi shook her head. “But since she’s going to audition, I don’t think she’ll pass.”

Song Qingyou’s acting skills were obvious to all.

Shen Xiyan was dissatisfied. “But there are still people who gave her the chance to audition!”

“Contact President Yang and tell him to suppress Song Qingyou. Don’t let her go to this audition either.”

“With Song Qingyou’s acting skills, she definitely won’t pass the audition…” Tao Mi was surprised.

“Do you think I’m doing this unnecessarily?” Shen Xiyan raised her eyebrows. “Last time, Man vs. Wild 3 wasn’t going to be popular, so 1 let her participate. What happened in the end?”

In the end, Song Qingyou became famous!

“Speaking of which, send Lin Xing’s videos to the paparazzi later.

“Miss, Lin Xing has already terminated her contract with MCN. There’s really no need to destroy her…” Tao Mi was puzzled.

“She didn’t do a good job and I’m not satisfied. Do you have any objections?” Shen Xiyan’s eyes were cold.

“No, no, I’ll do it immediately.”

Tao Mi quickly agreed, then stopped after taking two steps. “Miss, Song Qingyou is very popular now. If we really remove her jobs, will people think that it’s you? Isn’t this a bad idea?”

Shen Xiyan’s hand that was touching her nails paused.

“You’re right. How about this? Let President Yang find the worst script for her. It’s best if the director is a newcomer with no experience at all.”

“When the time comes, if our shows are broadcast at the same time, it will help Song Qingyou recognize herself and what she’s worth!”

Tao Mi nodded and immediately went out to make a call.

The next day, Song Qingyou and Chen Lan decided to meet at the company.

Chen Lan was really worried that Song Qingyou’s acting wasn’t good enough, so she signed her up for an actor training class near the company without discussing it with her.

Not to mention whether the training class was useful or not, Song Qingyou planned to give it a try.

Since she had never been an actor, she had to work hard.

Chen Lan glanced at Song Qingyou’s clothes. She was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt and wide-legged pants. It was simple.

Then, her attention was attracted by the cat in her arms.

“Why did you bring it to the company?”

“There’s no one at home. I’m worried.”

Song Qingyou carried Zhizhi into the car.

H

Up to you.” Chen Lan decided to keep quiet.

Who asked her to lose to her own artiste!

Halfway through the journey, Song Qingyou noticed Zhizhi staring at the rearview mirror.

She followed the cat’s gaze and saw that there was someone behind the car.

She was being followed by several people.

“Stop the car.” Song Qingyou rolled down the window.”

Chen Lan didn’t understand.

The next second, she saw Song Qingyou say to the boy who was panting beside the car, “Get in the car.”

The other party actually did not suspect that they were bad people and really sat in the back row.

H

Drive,” Song Qingyou said.

Chen Lan was confused.

After a while, she realized that there was a group of people following behind the car.

Chen Lan glanced at the rearview mirror. “Someone you know?”

The boy in the back seat had curly black hair and a baby face. Even if he didn’t smile, he gave people a feeling of milk and sweetness.

Perhaps he was the school idol from some high school?

Song Qingyou followed her cat and glanced back.

The boy in the backseat was stunned. “Xu Mingrui. My name is Xu Mingrui.”

“We know each other now,” Song Qingyou said to Chen Lan.

The latter rolled her eyes. “So you didn’t know him and just let him get in the car? What if it were a robber?”

“He’s too weak. He can’t beat me.”

Song Qingyou looked at the pale and thin Xu Mingrui with disdain.

“The reason why I let him get in the car is because Zhizhi has been staring at him.”

Xu Mingrui raised his head and was about to speak when his eyes met the cat’s.

Then, he coughed violently.

“Pfft-cough cough-”

“Are you alright?” Chen Lan wanted to stop the car and throw him out.

“No, I, I choked on my saliva. Um, the color of this cat’s eyes is…”

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Mingrui shut his mouth under cat’s gaze.

“Is what?” Song Qingyou was curious.

“It’s nothing.”

It was just the same color as his cousin’s eyes!

Most importantly, that expression just now was too similar!

It shocked him for a whole year!

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was in the wrong place, he really wanted to take a photo and post it on his WeChat Moments.

Chen Lan felt that Xu Mingrui was acting weird, and he even glanced at Zhizhi from time to time.

If it weren’t for the fact that this person was wearing luxury brands, she would have suspected that he was a cat thief.

“Student Xu, do you want to get off in front?”

“Student?” Xu Mingrui was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He instantly became agitated. “I’m not a student. I’m already 21 this year!”

This time, even Song Qingyou couldn’t help but pay attention to his face.

Xu Mingrui took out his ID card on the spot and covered his private details for the two of them to see his birthdate.

His movements were so practiced that Song Qingyou wanted to laugh.

“See?” Xu Mingrui asked.

“Yes.” Song Qingyou nodded and said seriously, “The ID photo is not bad.”

Xu Mingrui was speechless.

Jiang Zhihan closed his eyes.

He didn’t have such a stupid cousin.

Xu Mingrui knew that the other party was teasing him, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

“Looking at the route, you’re also going to that entertainment company up ahead, right?”

“You too?” Chen Lan looked sideways. “Which artiste company are you from?”

“I’m not a celebrity. I’m going to Jiayi Media later. If it’s not convenient for you, you can park the car now.”

“What a coincidence.” Chen Lan smiled. “We’re going to Jiayi too.”

“Thank you so much!”

Before he could finish, Song Qingyou reached out to him. “The fare is 500 yuan, no bargaining, no credit.”

“So expensive?”

Xu Mingrui asked, but he still obediently scanned the QR code to pay.

He always felt that sitting in this car was like sitting next to his cousin. It was too freaking scary!

Therefore, this beautiful lady in front of him must not be provoked.

“I saved you just now. 500 yuan isn’t expensive.”

“You’re right.” Xu Mingrui nodded.

“I was blackmailed by a few hooligans just now. They lay on the ground and insisted that I give them money. 1 didn’t want to give them money, so I ran away.”

Moreover, the police wouldn’t be able to resolve the matter of pengci[l] in such a short time.

Xu Mingrui obviously had things to do and couldn’t waste time.

Chen Lan watched as Song Qingyou easily received 500 yuan and cleared her throat.

The latter reluctantly transferred out fifty yuan.

“I don’t have much.”

“You’re such a miser!” Chen Lan was speechless.
