I was just an ordinary person, but somehow I ended up dressed as a female celebrity.

Chapter 19 The New Boss

Xia's stunning performance almost made Cheng Wanli agree to the role and sign a contract on the spot, but he still managed to maintain his composure as a director.

After auditioning several groups of people today, Cheng Wanli still felt that Ling Xia's performance was the most satisfactory.

Lu Yingdi's expression gradually returned to normal, no longer cold and aloof. "I'm really looking forward to our future scenes together."

Xia's anxious heart gradually calmed down. She smiled at Lu Yingdi.

Her smile was warm, like a gentle breeze in early spring.

A fleeting, inexplicable emotion flashed in Lu Yingdi's eyes, but it vanished quickly and he didn't take it to heart.

But some investors were unhappy, saying that Lu Yingdi's words clearly indicated that the deal was finalized.

He had reserved the role of Ni Chang for another actor, but it seems that the director, the male lead, and the screenwriter were all very satisfied with Ling Xia.

While he didn't voice his opposition during the vote, he was secretly thinking of other ways, such as having Xia have scandals or rumors before signing the contract.

……

Ling Xia stood out because of her wonderful martial arts scenes, and was promoted from the fifth female lead to the third female lead. Sister Zhao was so happy that she slapped her thigh.

Assistant Tian Tian was also very excited. Ling Xia had just met Actor Lu, and if she participated in the film, she could meet her idol up close.

The three of them happily got into the car to go back.

On the bus, Sister Zhao told Lingxia that in addition to the good news that she had passed the audition, something big had also happened at the company.

Because Lingxia was undergoing closed training at Teacher Yang's house, Sister Zhao did not inform Lingxia at the beginning. This time, the new boss wants to meet with Lingxia.

Sister Zhao solemnly stated, "The company was officially merged into the Lin Group a few days ago. In addition to our company, there are three other companies that are now under the jurisdiction of Xingyao Entertainment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Lin Group."

"We'll be meeting our new boss soon."

"You must put all your energy into dealing with the new boss and make him appreciate you. The more resources you have, the better."

"Of course, not everyone can meet the boss. The company selects those with potential who are worth cultivating, and you are one of the dark horses among them."

Seize the opportunity and you can soar to great heights.

Ling Xia and her group drove to the new company.

The new company is located in the heart of City C's business district, surrounded by towering skyscrapers. Many well-known companies are located in this area. The new company clearly has a lot of money; its facade and decor are quite lavish.

Guided by the receptionist, I entered the rooftop reception room.

Ling Xia and Sister Zhao were not the first to arrive; the reception room was already occupied.

Upon seeing Ling Xia and Sister Zhao arrive, a thin, short man said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this the beautiful Ling Xia? I've seen you two trending on social media every day these past few days, you must have spent a lot of money, right?"

Every time he spent money to buy trending topics, Ling Xia would steal them with her shady tactics, how could he not be angry?

This person is Yang Youning's agent. Yang Youning is looking at her newly done fingernails and seems not to have heard what her agent said.

On the other side sat a middle-aged man and a young man who looked rather inexperienced. It turned out that the young man was the male idol named Chi Han whom they had met at the airport a few days ago.

The two men wore expressions of watching a spectacle, for where there are women, there is bound to be intrigue.

Yang Youning is also a beauty, with an oval face and cherry lips. It is said that she has one-quarter foreign ancestry and an exotic charm.

She wore a blue spaghetti strap dress, subtly revealing her sexiness, her slender waist almost impossible to encircle. A large butterfly was tied in her hair, making her small face appear even smaller.

Compared to Ling Xia, Yang Youning is like the clear moon in the sky, while Ling Xia is like a flower of wealth and beauty on earth; one is charming and lovely, while the other is sharp and ambitious. Each has her own merits.

Yang Youning has landed several good leading roles in recent years thanks to her popularity from variety shows, but she doesn't have a good public image. Actors who work with her have risen in status, but she is often criticized by the public for being expressionless and having awkward acting skills, although she has abundant fashion resources.

Sister Zhao retorted sarcastically, "Only those who waste money know the truth. Some people can spend money but still can't get on the trending topics. It's all fate."

"But our Lingxia got trending on social media by netizens on her own initiative, without spending a single penny. Isn't that infuriating?"

Yang Youning's usually composed face flushed red, and she glanced sideways at Sister Zhao, about to erupt in anger.

The door to the reception room was pushed open, and the president's assistant, Yi An, walked in, glancing at everyone.

"Yang Youning, the president requests your presence."

Yang Youning's slightly angry face instantly returned to normal, like the fierce Rong Momo straightening up immediately after sitting, and she leisurely stood up and said softly, "Okay."

Yi An nodded to Yang Youning and raised her left hand in a gesture of invitation.

When Yang Youning's agent saw that his artist was the first one, he immediately stood up and followed, raising his head and giving Ling Xia a cold snort.

The expression seemed to say, "See? My Youning is still the most prestigious."

Yi An said expressionlessly, "Only Yang Youning needs to go." Meaning, you don't need to go with her.

Yi An is Lin Tingshen's capable assistant. She is also a key figure in the CEO's success.

Yang Youning's agent didn't dare offend him and quickly smiled apologetically, "Okay, okay."

Yang Youning followed Yi An away.

As Yang Youning walked, she inquired gently, "Assistant Yi, I wonder what brings the president to see me alone?"

Yi An rolled her eyes. They really know how to take things out of context. It's not like you two were the only ones meeting alone. I was there too. She stared ahead coldly and said, "I was there too."

He had seen many scheming people around the boss, and the person behind him thought he was hiding well, but little did he know that he had already been discovered.

Yang Youning's gentle face instantly froze, and she gave an awkward laugh. What an oblivious and clueless man.

The moment Yang Youning saw her boss, she was instantly captivated. She decided she had to win this man's heart, and she was willing to give anything for it.

Lin Tingshen glanced at her and handed the contract to Yi An. Yi An understood and, holding the contract, led Yang Youning towards the sofa.

Yang Youning felt a chill when she saw that the handsome man was no longer paying attention to her. Her beauty was still outstanding, and anyone would feel a protective instinct towards her.

How could it not work?

Yang Youning suddenly slipped on her high heels, tilted her body, and fell onto the expensive street stall, exclaiming in surprise.

The dress suddenly slipped down, revealing the bra pads and a large expanse of skin.

Her face was filled with terror, and she spread her arms to cover her chest, falling face-first into Lin Tingshen's face.

Before Yang Youning could say anything, Yi An grabbed him and dragged him away, saying, "What are you doing? How can you be so ungentlemanly?"

Lin Tingshen remained engrossed in his work.

……

After Yang Youning came Chi Han. Ling Xia waited a while longer. Actually, there were surveillance cameras in the reception room, and Lin Tingshen had been watching the people on the cameras the whole time he was meeting the two of them.

Besides having good acting skills, the most important thing for an actor is to wait for the right opportunity.

……

The president's office was knocked on for the third time from the outside.

A deep, resonant male voice, like the sound of a cello, filled the room. Xia found the voice familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
