Bo Yan paused for a moment but didn’t argue with her, and followed her into the room. As soon as the door closed, the outside discussion grew louder, and the makeup room’s two doors swung open, with Li Yiru wearing an expression like she was watching a drama: “l really didn’t expect her to come.” Anyway, she was definitely here to nab the lead role.

Shang Feifei didn’t say anything, but she gave her agent a cold look.

Whatever the undercurrents were outside, when Xia Siyu pushed open the room’s door, the other three people inside were all a bit surprised.

But after a brief moment of surprise, their expressions all became rather complicated.

The first to refuse was Director Wang Ju, shaking his head: “Sorry, the audition time has already passed.”

Xia Siyu was not at all timid, holding a flyer from outside for the auditions, and then glancing at her watch: “The audition time is from two to five in the afternoon. It’s now four fifty-five.”

With those words, she left the three teachers on the scene with nothing to say.

Director Wang Ju looked her up and down several times, his expression changing from the initial displeasure to contemplation.

Especially when he saw that Xia Siyu had almost arrived without any makeup on.

In fact, from the beginning, Director Wang Ju t s top choice for the lead actress was Xia Siyu. When it came to beauty, there really was no one else in the entertainment industry who could outshine her. Not only was she beautiful, she was also pure, with a stubborn streak hidden deep within. Although her acting wasn’t as good as Shang Feifei’s, it was sufficient and not like that of a wooden beauty.

But she was late, and had not submitted any materials, which slightly marred Director Wang Ju’s perception of her; however, seeing that her image and temperament fit the role, he reluctantly gave her a chance.

“Then get ready. Act out the part where the female lead receives a phone call from the male lead. I’ll give you only five minutes.”

He deliberately arranged for Xia Siyu to perform the same scene as Shang Feifei, wanting to compare them and see which one was more suitable.

After saying this, he turned and went back to his seat.

Once Director Wang Ju gave his nod, the casting director and producer also settled back into their seats.

Among them, only Bo Yan didn’t move, still looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

However, before Director Wang Ju could sit down, Xia Siyu spoke up again:

“Director Wang, I’d like to audition for the supporting actress role.”

At that, not only was Director Wang Ju stunned, but the others were too.

Bo Yan stood by, his face expressionless, but his constricted pupils clearly 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦

indicated that he was thinking, puzzling. Yet there, beside him, Xia Siyu stood tall, without the anger she had when arguing, nor the aloofness she normally showed. She was confident, at ease, and clearly serious about her request—not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

After watching for a while, Bo Yan remained silent and was the first to take a seat, waiting on the side. He indeed wanted to see what Xia Siyu’s appearance would bring to them—would it be a shock or a pleasant surprise?

Director Wang Ju hesitated for a moment, then looked back and asked, “Are you sure you’re auditioning for the role of the second female lead?”

Xia Siyu nodded without hesitation.

Director Wang Ju had of course heard about Xia Siyu’s bold exploits; she had a pure face, but a tough girl’s heart, and the news of her fighting had even made the trending searches a few days ago. But the movie didn’t care about all that. He only cared about how she looked on camera, not about her in real life.

Director Wang Ju scanned her appearance from head to toe and shook his head directly: “The second female lead? You’re not suitable..”
