Tangning was not in a rush to clarify because it wasn't the right time yet.
But, the crew still had to select the male lead. In the end, Mo Ting gave Tangning two choices.
Lu Yiling and Long Xing.
Lu Yiling had a very impressive appearance. In fact, he looked quite similar to Jun Yilan from the novel. Although his acting was average, it still added to his image.
Long Xing, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. His ancient costume wasn't eye-catching, but he was comfortable to look at. Most importantly, his acting was outstanding.
Both of them had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Tangning looked at the two male leads that Mo Ting had chosen and remained silent for quite some time. But, Mo Ting immediately saw through her thoughts, "You're not satisfied with either one?"
Tangning looked at Mo Ting quietly, like she wanted to peer into his soul.
"I've already notified the artists from both agencies to come for an audition. When the time comes, you should come and have a look."
Tangning nodded her head. In reality, deep down, she also felt that the male lead that she had hoped for was impossible.
...
After Bai Yu returned to China, Bai Linlin immediately found someone to rely on. All the negative emotions from being punished by Tangning were swept away and she could strut around everywhere she went.
Of course, she still remembered Chen Xingyan. Even if she couldn't bully the secluded Tangning, teaching Chen Xingyan a lesson was not bad.
Plus, the two were currently competing for a role in 'The Best Ex-girlfriend', so the chances of them seeing each other increased.
After An Zihao resigned from the production of 'Concubine Ning', he placed all his focus on Chen Xingyan. Seeing that she had matured and become sensible, he felt a lot better.
This time, it was a meeting for the actors to read the script. An Zihao accompanied Chen Xingyan to the bathroom and walked her all the way to the door...
As soon as Bai Linlin stepped out of the bathroom, she saw An Zihao and sneered as she approached, "Mr. An."
An Zihao leaned against the wall and glanced at Bai Linlin calmly.
"I heard you used to be a top manager. But, from what I see, your abilities are quite average... If you can't even manage Chen Xingyan, do you think you'll be able to produce any results?"
An Zihao completely ignored Bai Linlin; he acted like she didn't even exist.
Seeing this, Bai Linlin scoffed, "Even if you take care of Chen Xingyan for the rest of her life, she will never become a superstar. Give up."
After hearing this, An Zihao pointed at his ears. "I don't think I can understand what animals are saying. Maybe I have bad hearing."
Bai Linlin scoffed as she stomped her feet and left. Not long after, Chen Xingyan also walked out of the bathroom and looked at An Zihao, "I just heard Bai Linlin's voice. Did she cause trouble for you?"
"Let's go. It's about to start." An Zihao had no intention of explaining at all.
"Humiliated you?"
An Zihao remained silent.
Chen Xingyan did not ask any further. But, she secretly swore to herself that she would become the best artist in An Zihao's hands. She would shine brightly and allow him to hold his head high.
The meeting soon started. Chen Xingyan did not disappoint and played the role of the tomboy that she wanted.
Bai Linlin was dismissive.
"Trash can only choose a trash character."
After the meeting, just as Bai Linlin was about to leave, a staff member arrived with a bunch of gifts. These were gifts that Bai Yu had specially prepared for Bai Linlin.
As mentioned before, Bai Yu was a good person. So, in order to make things easier for Bai Linlin on set, she naturally put in a lot of effort.
"I never thought that an international superstar would come to our set. I just saw Bai Yu!"
"Bai Yu, let's take a photo together. I like you so much."
"Bai Yu Jie, thank you for your gifts. We will definitely get along well with Linlin."
Bai Yu stood behind the door with a gentle smile. Her EQ was perfect. But, An Zihao felt extremely awkward inside the meeting room. The management agencies of the actors in the room all expressed their opinions. To ensure that their artists were taken care of, it was indeed necessary to put in a lot of effort.
But, An Zihao did not make a move...
"Let's go," An Zihao said to Chen Xingyan.
"Wait... you guys have a share too," Bai Yu said as she watched the couple leave. So, she pulled out two gifts and handed them to Chen Xingyan.
Chen Xingyan glanced at An Zihao. In the end, Little Seven stretched out his hand and accepted the gifts.
"Thank you, Bai Yu Jie."
In the workplace, there was always a type of person that used their high EQ to make others look bad. Of course, Bai Yu simply wanted to embarrass Chen Xingyan and Little Seven.
Bai Linlin revealed a proud expression. It was like she was saying with her eyes, 'look... this is my considerate sister.'
"Let's go." An Zihao said to Chen Xingyan. He then wrapped his arm around Chen Xingyan's shoulder and led her out of the meeting room.
"She's Mo Ting's sister. How can she not know how to act? What an embarrassment."
"I heard that An Zihao used to be a top manager. Why would he take on a role like Chen Xingyan?"
"Because he's used up his talent!"
Before the couple could get far, unpleasant discussions could be heard behind them. Chen Xingyan wanted to turn around, but An Zihao held her back and said, "Ignore them..."
"But, they said you..."
An Zihao did not give Chen Xingyan a chance to respond as he quickly led her out of the set.
Bai Yu was indeed good at acting. But, so what?
"Sis, you've come at the right time. You've made me proud!" As Bai Linlin watched An Zihao and An Zihao leave, she was finally able to vent her anger. "From now on, I will teach her a lesson on set."
Unfortunately...
An Zihao's reputation as a top manager wasn't undeserved. Bai Yu was indeed good at acting, but she didn't do it to the point.
How much was a gift worth?
The next morning, An Zihao invited a few important people on set to a 5-star hotel for dinner. During dinner, he said to the director, "Director Wang, I happen to have a friend who is the head of the School of Foreign Languages. I think he can give your daughter some advice."
As soon as the man called Director Wang heard this, he immediately slapped the table and cheered, "I was just worrying about this. Zihao, you really understand me."
The School of Foreign Languages was one of the most difficult schools to get into. Director Wang had already pulled a lot of strings, but he still couldn't get his daughter in. Who would have thought, An Zihao actually had the ability.
"Don't worry, I know what you're trying to do. I will take good care of Xingyan, don't worry."
When it came to bribing people, there was no need to waste money on irrelevant people. All they needed to do was use it where it mattered most.
It didn't matter how other people treated Chen Xingyan. After all, the important things were decided by the director.
