“Shang Ke, do you like me?”

“Mhmm.”

“Shang Ke, will you always like me?”

“Yes.”

At that time, Shang Ke was still young and had clearly given her a very clear response. Why did it mean nothing now?

She could not find Director Xu, so she was about to go outside. Then, a group of people approached her.

Everyone was holding their breakfast. Someone was talking nonstop. Wen Qing could hear it clearly. That person was calling another person “Director Xu”.

“Director Xu, soy milk, soy milk.” The person handed over the soy milk.

“Director Xu, for scene 47, the fight scene for today, I think we need a stunt double who can do martial arts. I also talked to Shang Ke on WeChat last night. This fight scene is a smooth, unbroken scene shot from a distance. There should be a professional stunt double to make sure it’s done well.”

Director Xu was holding two deep-fried dough sticks in one hand and a cup of hot soy milk in the other. He took a small bite of the deep-fried dough stick. The soy milk was too hot, so he sipped at it.

After hearing what the assistant director said, he nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you’ve suggested. You’ll communicate with the stunt double.”

The other crew members followed them. They were all holding various breakfast items as they made their way to the set.

Wen Qing took the opportunity to go over and tell them her name. “Hello, Director Xu. I’m an actress recommended by Ding Min. She asked me to look for you today.”

When Wen Qing stopped them, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at her.

“You’re looking for me?” Director Xu asked. Then, he took a sip of his soy milk.

“Yes,” Wen Qing immediately replied. “Ding Min asked me to come to set to find you. She said that the crew is short of one role.”

“What role will you be auditioning for?” Director Xu asked her.

This question stumped Wen Qing. During the call, she did not get the chance to ask Ding Min about that before she hung up. She only told her to come to the set of “Ming Yue’s Hometown”. Apart from that, she did not say anything else!

“You don’t even know what role you’re auditioning for. Yet, you’ve come to speak to me? Do you think I have a ton of free time?”

Seeing that Wen Qing was not going to answer, Director Xu said a few unpleasant words, and continued to walk further in with his mouth full.

Obviously, he did not take Wen Qing seriously.

Just as Wen Qing was about to chase after him, the assistant director who had been with Director Xu just now came back. Wen Qing’s face lit up. Then, the assistant director said, “That’s the director, not the casting director. I’m the assistant director. Tell me, what role are you auditioning for? ”

“Are there several roles that need to be filled?” Wen Qing was stunned.

“More or less. Some things have yet to be finalized.” The assistant director spoke gently and patiently. He was probably just in a good mood because it was morning.

But, Wen Qing really could not answer that question, and Ding Min had not told her anything. In addition, she had only ever been an extra before. She had no real experience in acting. She had done nothing that qualified her for joining the crew and shooting with Director Xu.

The assistant director saw Wen Qing stammering and was speechless for a moment. “Go home and figure it out before coming back.”

After saying that, he turned around and went in.

Wen Qing stood in place silently. Now, she thought she understood what Ding Min meant. She had a chance, but she had to figure it out for herself. No one was going to spoon-feed her.

However, she had no fighting spirit and no real desire to even try.

She revisited the idea of becoming a dance teacher.

When she exited the film studio, she waved down a taxi.

Someone came up behind her and patted her shoulder. “Ms. Wen Qing,”

Wen Qing turned around and saw Secretary Chen. “Secretary Chen, what are you doing here?”

“Yes, it’s me,” he said. Chen Jian was smiling politely. “Where are you planning to go, Ms. Wen Qing?”

When Wen Qing heard Chen Jian’s question, she subconsciously looked around but did not see Shang Yinghan anywhere. She thought to herself, ‘This is a film studio. Why would Shang Yinghan be here?’

Chen Jian’s appearance here was probably just a coincidence!

“My manager asked me to come here. I’m done now, so I’m heading back,” she said.

Chen Jian smiled. “What a coincidence. Mr. Shang is here too. Ms. Wen Qing, do you want to go over and say hello to Mr. Shang?”

Wen Qing was at a loss for words.
