Chapter 19



Lu Baobao stomped her feet. When she saw Jiang Se turn around, she wanted to call her, but her parents were urging her to go in already, so she could only reply to her parents and close the door helplessly.

Jiang Se was very familiar with the outer circle of the imperial capital.

There were plenty of shops and office buildings with the most expensive luxury brands gathered in the same area. Even the passersby were people with impeccable fashion sense.

Many of the top industries had their headquarters located in the center of the outer circle. Even the Jianghua Group headquarters were there.

The Yijing Building was on the northern side of the outer circle. Jiang Se walked along the street and could see it located opposite the China Film Group Corporation building. Many of the offices here were somewhat related to the entertainment industry. Among the pedestrians, celebrities wearing shades over their eyes could even be seen hurrying into their cars while being escorted by their assistants.

Before Jiang Se entered the building, she let her hair down and combed it with her fingers. Then, she checked her reflection in the glass door.

She was only wearing a simple white T-shirt and had paired it with faded jeans. Although her attire was simple, her slender and long legs were still eye-catching.

She tucked the hem of her shirt into her jeans to accentuate her slim waist which formed a wonderful curve with her pronounced derriere.

The underrated clothes could not suppress her natural beauty. Feng Nan’s elegance was coupled with Jiang Se’s godsent lovely looks. When she walked into the main lobby, several receptionists at the counter went forward to greet her and asked her softly about her destination.

“Level 13.”

The receptionist glanced repeatedly at Jiang Se’s face. She was wondering if Jiang Se was some celebrity who had yet to make it big.

There were 50 floors in the Yijing Building and the offices were rented by notable filmmakers.

Working as a receptionist here meant that their chances of meeting celebrities were very high. Sometimes, they would even meet famous stars.

However, Jiang Se’s looks and demeanor were far better than the slightly popular female celebrities. She looked pretty even without makeup on.

When the female receptionist learned that Jiang Se wanted to go to the 13th floor, she politely pressed the elevator button for her.

“I hear that ‘Pretense to Reality’, the film directed by director Gu Jiaer that’s about to begin shooting is having an audition on the 13th floor. Are you here for the movie as well?” The receptionist’s words confirmed what Jiang Se had heard from the sexy female student she had met at the film academy before this.

As the elevator doors slid open, Jiang Se merely gave her a smile. The receptionist returned an even sweeter smile and said, “I hope to see you in the movie when it comes out.”

When the receptionist saw Jiang Se smile and nod at her, she seemed slightly excited. Before the elevator doors slid shut, she waved at Jiang Se and only returned to her post after the elevator went up. She chirped happily, “That girl was beautiful and has great charm. She’s much better than the six other young female actresses. She’s here for Director Gu’s ‘Pretense to Reality’. I have a feeling that she’ll be famous!”

When the other female receptionists heard this, they immediately grew excited.

“She didn’t seem to be the prideful type as well, but I couldn’t bring myself to talk to her just now.” When someone said this, the receptionist who spoke with Jiang Se just now nodded vigorously.

“She’s slightly cold, but she’s much better than many of the other celebrities. The famous stars aside, even the third and fourth-tier actors or actresses who aren’t all that famous won’t even look at you. However, the pretty girl just now was polite. It’s clear that she has a much better upbringing compared to the small stars.”

Jiang Se had no inkling that the receptionist who had helped her with the elevator just now was intending to become her fan. When she reached level 13, she saw many others who were there for the audition as well.

The receptionist handed her a list and asked her to fill in her particulars. Most of the people here must have been students from the film academy since many of them knew each other and were huddled together.

Jiang Se filled in her details and waited quietly in a corner for her name to be called.

Although she was one of the earlier ones, there was already a queue. She swept her gaze across the room and did not see Lu Baobao. She wondered if she was on her way here or if she was not coming after all.

There were more people in the reception room. However, a majority of the people here for the audition were students, and many of them noticed Jiang Se’s unfamiliar face. They isolated her instinctively.

The person who called her name was a beautiful woman with a bob cut. She gave Jiang Se and appraising look before asking, “Jiang Se?”

“Yes.”

“Come with me.” She beckoned Jiang Se to follow her.

The location for the audition was a meeting room. When Jiang Se entered, there were about a dozen others seated inside. Half of the meeting room had been cleared away, clearly meant to give the audition participants space to perform.

Jiang Se was not very confident in her performance. Although she had earned the internationally acclaimed famous director, Zhang Jingan’s praise during the filming of “Rescue Mission”, she had no actual acting experience. Naturally, she was not in a position to discuss her acting skills.

She had unwittingly satisfied Zhang Jingan the other day because she had heard the news about “Feng Nan”. Even so, she showed none of this on her expression.

“Brother Sun, she’s here,” announced the beautiful woman who led her into the room before silently retreating to the back of the meeting room. She rested her hands before her stomach and looked at Jiang Se who was making her way to the empty space in the middle.

The others in the room were sizing Jiang Se up. For a moment, nobody spoke. Only quiet breathing could be heard.

Even to those who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful ladies in the entertainment industry, Jiang Se’s beauty came as a pleasant surprise. There was no doubt that she was a newbie. Her face was fresh and her aura unique. The person called “Brother Sun” looked up and gestured toward Jiang Se.

“Turn around for me.”

Jiang Se turned as she was told. There were no flaws in her form, mannerisms, or face regardless of the angle. It was as if she was born for this line of work. She looked pleasingly beautiful no matter which angle she was looked at.

Many celebrities looked gorgeous on-screen but might not necessarily be so in person. They were merely suitable for the screen.

However, this newbie was different. She had not put any makeup on while her smooth, long hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing the graceful lines of her chin. Even without smiling, she looked like a flower waiting to bloom as she stood there. She was mesmerizing to look at.

“Is this a freshman from the film academy’s Faculty of Performing Arts?” A young man in a white shirt leaned forward from behind Sun Qiming, his eyes shining. “She has great physical appeal.”

“She’s not.” Sun Qiming shook his head before giving Jiang Se another glance. Then, he picked up the list and read out, “She’s only 17. She’s written Jucai High School in the academy column.”

The others whispered among themselves. Gu Jiaer’s “Pretense to Reality” was a youth romance film with aesthetic cinematography. It featured good-looking idols as its male and female leads and was a product aimed at the younger viewers.
