Tao Wan stared at the peach blossom for a very long time. There was no time flow in the system, so he could keep looking at the peach blossom without aging or dying.
But maybe because he stared at it for too long, the system had to remind him that he should go to the next world.
"I might not be able to go to the next world." Tao Wan said.
"Why?" The system asked.
"I already have someone I love deeply. If I go and have a relationship with someone else, I definitely won't be able to do it. I'll stay here from now on, guarding our love, and I won't feel lonely. "
"Master … Maybe you don't know, but the target you need to conquer is actually the same soul. When you go to the next world, that soul will also go with you. It's just that, unlike you, he won't be able to retain the memories of every life. "
Tao Wan was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "What do you mean maybe I don't know? You didn't tell me, so how would I know?"
"…"
"As a system, you didn't tell me this in advance. Are you kidding me?"
"…"
Tao Wan stood up and patted the non-existent dust off his hands. He said angrily, "If I knew it was the same person, I wouldn't be here feeling sad. Hurry up and send me to the next world."
"Yes, master."
… … …
The next morning, Tao Wan got up and washed up. He stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at his refreshed face. Compared to last night, he was like a completely different person.
The original owner's immune system was very weak. He would get a high fever or a cold easily. If he caught a cold, he would definitely fall sick. It had been like this since he was young. But this time, the cold and fever were not caused by him accidentally catching a cold.
Carrying his backpack, Tao Wan still put on a mask even though he had recovered from his cold. It wasn't because the original owner was very popular and would be recognized if he didn't wear a mask. The original owner was not even a 38th-tier celebrity, so no one would recognize him if he went out.
But the people in the company who knew the original owner knew that he had caught a cold again. So Tao Wan put on a mask to make them think that he hadn't fully recovered yet.
After Tao Wan arrived at the company, the newcomers who entered the company at the same time as the original owner were already sitting together and chatting. They all looked very excited.
Although these people were only there to audition for extras or slightly better roles than extras, the production this time was not only a big production, but the lead actor's plastic surgery was also quite impressive. For people like them, being able to show their faces, even if they were just extras, was a very exciting thing.
Liu Yong was the team leader in charge of managing these newcomers. He was looking at the schedule when he looked up and saw Tao Wan come in. He asked him, "Hua Xi, are you feeling better?"
Tao Wan replied, "Much better."
"Don't try to be brave. It'll be troublesome if you suddenly faint like last time. Although this is a rare opportunity, for the sake of everyone, we can't leave a bad impression on the crew. " Liu Yong looked at him worriedly. He wasn't worried about his body, but he was worried that he would affect everyone else's audition.
Tao Wan took off his mask and said, "Don't worry, Team Leader. I won't faint this time."
Liu Yong saw that his complexion was indeed much better, so he nodded and walked over to him. He said in a low voice, "Okay, then do well in this audition. I'll let you in on some news. This time, not only are there small roles to audition, there are also a few dance doubles to audition. It's very likely that today will be the day. With your appearance and dancing ability, you have the highest chance of passing the audition. Don't look down on the doubles. First, get familiar with the crew and please them. Make them remember you, then you'll have more opportunities in the future. "
"Got it, Team Leader. I'll try my best," Tao Wan said.
"You …" Liu Yong wanted to say something else, but when he thought about Liu Yong's personality, he knew that it was impossible for him to curry favor with others. So, he sighed and said, "Forget it. If you can actually pass the audition, then we'll talk about other things. Whatever we say now is useless."
Liu Yong turned and left the lounge to make other preparations.
Tao Wan found himself a seat and sat down. There were more than a dozen newcomers in the lounge, both male and female. They were all selected to join the company at the same time and had all graduated from a dance academy. They were all less than 20 years old and were in the prime of their youth and dreams. But there were very few people who could really realize their dreams.
The girls were going to audition for the roles of backup dancers, palace maids, and maids. The boys, in addition to eunuchs and guards, had to audition for some roles with lines. Because this batch of newcomers were all dance majors, there were a lot of such actors in the crew. Otherwise, a newly established company like theirs wouldn't have arranged for so many newcomers to audition. This wasn't an ordinary crew.
Tao Wan picked up a magazine and casually flipped through it. Suddenly, the lounge door was opened and a woman wearing sunglasses walked in. She had a head of curly hair and the way she raised her chin made her look like a proud rooster.
"Ah, Sister Qiao, why are you free today?"
"Hello, Sister Qiao."
"Sister Qiao, you're so early. Are you going to the crew?"
"Sister Qiao, you look so good today. Your skin is so good."
All the newcomers stood up and immediately surrounded her to say hello and flatter her.
"I'm going to audition for the same crew as you. I happen to have some time, so I came to see you." After Li Qiao sat down, she took off her sunglasses and handed them to her assistant. Then she took the thermos flask and did it in one go, as if she had been specially trained.
Only Tao Wan didn't move. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and continued to flip through the magazine. According to the original owner's personality, he would have acted the same way now, so it was normal for him to act like this.
"Sister Qiao is so nice. She specially came to see us when she's so busy."
"That's right. Sister Qiao must be going to audition for one of the roles. We're just going to audition for the extras. That's the difference."
"I heard that Cheng Yi is one of the main actors. Sister Qiao is his cousin. It's easy for him to get a role in it. The audition is just a process."
"I'm so envious. I also want to have a cousin who's an A-list celebrity."
Li Qiao's face was filled with unconcealable pride. These flattering words made her feel very comfortable. In fact, she came to hear these words. Otherwise, why would she, who had her own private lounge, come to the newcomers' lounge?
Li Qiao flipped her hair and turned her head. When she saw Tao Wan, the only one who was still sitting, her face fell. She thought, it's him again.
"That's the big star? He's even wearing a mask. I don't think I've seen him before. Is he our company's new big star? "Li Qiao ridiculed in a strange tone.
When the others saw that the two were about to quarrel again, they quickly retreated to the side. They didn't want to get involved.
"In our company, there's no star who's bigger than Sister Qiao. He's just a newcomer who doesn't know how to respect his seniors." Lin Chun-chi said with extreme flattery.
"Oh ~" Li Qiao looked as if she suddenly understood. "Speaking of disrespecting seniors, I know who it is. After all, people who don't know how to respect seniors are rare."
Tao Wan sneered and said, "If the so-called respect for seniors is just flattery, then I really don't know how to respect seniors. It's just that those who like to listen to lies know that what others say is not true, but they still rely on lies to get vanity and satisfaction. I don't know if this is a disease. "
Tao Wan supported his chin with one hand and looked as if he was thinking. "Speaking of which, she's just a distant relative. Can she be considered a proper cousin? Why do I remember that Cheng Yi's fans are especially disgusted by someone pretending to be his cousin? "
Cheng Yi was indeed a big star. Not only did he have a lot of fans, but he also had a lot of national recognition. Because he acted in many shows, as long as people watched TV often, even if they didn't care about the entertainment industry, they would basically know him.
Li Qiao was Cheng Yi's distant relative. According to seniority, she should call Cheng Yi cousin. When she first debuted, she used the name of Cheng Yi's cousin to promote herself many times. At first, it didn't matter, but after many times, Cheng Yi's fans were disgusted.
Especially when they found out that she wasn't his cousin, but just a distant relative, Cheng Yi's fans directly scolded her, saying that she was shamelessly trying to gain popularity. Later, she was warned by Cheng Yi's company that if she tried to gain popularity with Cheng Yi again, she wouldn't be able to survive in the entertainment industry. Since then, she didn't dare to publicly say that she was Cheng Yi's cousin. But in private, she still enjoyed the envy of others for having an A-list celebrity cousin.
"Hua Xi, I think you haven't been taught a lesson enough, have you?" Li Qiao gritted her teeth and said, "Do you want me to teach you a lesson again?"
"Aiya, I've had enough of Sister Qiao's lesson." Tao Wan pursed his lips and looked as if he was scared. "Since Sister Qiao likes to hear flattery so much, then I'll say something to satisfy you. It's just that I've never lied, so I'll tell you the truth. I heard that last time, Sister Qiao slept with a director and producer several times for a role. Although she didn't get the role in the end, this kind of dedication is really inspiring. "
The original owner wasn't someone who didn't respect her seniors, but she wasn't good at flattering others. The others were the same when they first entered the company. No one was born to flatter others.
The original owner was the best looking among them, but her personality was also the most dull. In order to show her position in the company, Li Qiao wanted to show off her power to the newcomers. She caught the original owner and scolded him twice. The other newcomers were afraid. In order to protect themselves, every time they saw Li Qiao, they would try to curry favor with her.
Li Qiao achieved the effect she wanted, so she was very proud. But she didn't expect that after the original owner was taught a lesson, not only did she not give in, she even went against her.
Li Qiao felt that he hadn't been taught a lesson enough, so she made a move on him several times, causing him to miss the audition. The original owner had the best qualifications among the newcomers and was also the most likely to be famous. When he missed the audition, Lin Chun-chi took it.
Lin Chun-chi was very happy that he got the chance. Although he couldn't do anything to the original owner, he always fanned the flames when the two of them fought. For example, the original owner had a bad cold and fever because Li Qiao pushed him into the pool and asked her assistant to stop him from coming up. She let him soak in the water for a long time.
Li Qiao was the most popular actress in the company, but she was just an eighteenth-tier actress. She had the face of a supporting actress and with her own temperament, there was no hope for her to play the female lead in this life. But there were many actresses who were famous as supporting actresses. After all, there were so many stars in the entertainment industry, it was impossible for everyone to play the lead. Sometimes, the supporting roles might be more popular.
But sometimes, everything was fate. If you were destined to be famous, you would definitely be famous. If you weren't lucky enough to be famous, then you wouldn't be famous. Li Qiao played a lot of supporting roles. Her acting skills were good, but she didn't know how to raise awareness.
Of course, Li Qiao wasn't willing to accept her fate. If the company couldn't give her better resources, she would find a way to fight for it. Sleeping with others was the only way she could get a chance.
Everyone knew that the entertainment industry was dirty and unbearable. But some things, once put on the table, would become a scandal.
