Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted-Chapter 91 - Mu Sheng Goes for Audition

Xiao Ziyu felt there was something wrong with him today. Why would he suddenly pay attention to some random woman? He threw his thoughts aside before placing the piece of paper into his backpack and turned to leave.

Mu Sheng walked out of class and headed towards the school entrance. A bunch of people happened to be walking into the campus.

“Xiaoxiao, are you feeling better? The professor keeps asking about you. You are her favorite student, so she kept thinking about you while you were on sick leave.”

“Uh huh. Xiaoxiao, how are you feeling now?” Four or five trendily dress young women encircled Mu Xiao.

“Thanks for asking. I am much better.” Mu Xiao smiled sweetly. “I have been on sick leave for so long. Has anything big happened in school while I was away?

“Nothing much. Same old same old. Oh yes. The minor celebrity with the same surname as you called Mu Sheng has been chasing Xiao Ziyu. She keeps coming to school to follow Xiao Ziyu around. She even got scolded by him.”

“Mu Sheng?” A look of curiosity emerged in Mu Xiao’s eyes.

“Uh huh. That’s her!” A girl suddenly pointed somewhere as she spoke. Not far from them, Mu Sheng was slowly walking towards them dressed in a black coat. The passersby were awestruck by her beauty.

Mu Xiao’s pupils constricted when she saw Mu Sheng. She clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves. She had yet to recover from the shock of getting pushed downstairs by Mu Sheng, so she instinctively felt scared.

Mu Sheng raised her head to see Mu Xiao. She was dressed in white with light makeup on her face and looked so weak that she might get taken off by the wind.

Mu Sheng veered her eyes and continued looking at the plum blossoms in the garden as she walked. The plum blossoms were far better looking than pretentious girls like Mu Xiao.

Just as Mu Sheng was about to walk past them, Mu Xiao suddenly said, “This coat looks great.”

The girl standing around Mu Xiao turned to look at it and promptly laughed. “Pftt! This must be a fake. Since Xiaoxiao is born in the Mu family, she must be the only woman in the country who can get to wear a coat like that. No one else is fit to wear it. Even though she has the same surname as you, she is only fit to wear fakes.”

Mu Xiao was studying at Metropolis University as well. She was one of the top three students who made it into one of the most prestigious universities in the capital and was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, so even the principal had to be nice to her.

In comparison, everyone in the university despised Mu Sheng. Mu Sheng’s existence at Metropolis University seemed to imply that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could get in.

Mu was a rare surname, but no one ever suspected Mu Sheng to hail from the family. After all, Mu Sheng was so terrible that no one felt she was from the Mu family.

“Enough. Stop saying that.” Mu Xiao stopped them from sneering. “Let’s go. Class is about to start.”

“Okay. Xiaoxiao, your necklace is so pretty. Did Li Ming give it to you? It’s gorgeous. I heard you two are engaged. Congratulations.” Everyone encircled Mu Xiao as they entered the school while they looked at the lovely pink diamond necklace hanging from her neck.

Mu Xiao glanced at Mu Sheng quietly before quickly lowering her eyes and said shyly, “Yes, it was from him.”

“You’re so lucky.”

“Li Ming is so good to you.”

Everyone flattered Mu Xiao as they walked. A smug look swept across Mu Xiao’s eyes. By the time she looked in Mu Sheng’s direction, she had already gone afar, and it seemed as though she did not pay any attention to their conversation.

Mu Xiao frowned. Mu Sheng was simply too composed of late. She was so calm that it was impossible for Mu Xiao to manipulate her.

In the distance, Mu Sheng genuinely paid no attention to Mu Xiao.

Mu Sheng had no interest in the evil pretentious Mu Xiao who acted vulnerable all the time. She would rather focus on the greenery around her than listen to what Mu Xiao had to say.

Mu Sheng thought about the beautiful buildings Professor Yang had just shown them in class while she walked and felt tempted to see them with her own eyes. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

She thought about her bank balance and gave up on going. Even though C had given her a lot of gifts, large amounts of money would only get transferred to her bank account a month later.

For the rest of the month, she was still a pauper.

Shortly after Mu Sheng arrived at the school entrance, she received a phone call.

Mu Sheng swiped to answer it, and Jiang Tian’s excited voice came from over the phone. “We have work to do. There is an audition going on in the afternoon, and the director has asked you to go.”

“Where?”

Jiang Tian gave Mu Sheng the time and location. She nodded. “Got it. I will go for it.”

“Great! Good luck! If you succeed, it will be the first project our company ever has. I will treat you to some cheap mala cuisine.”

Mu Sheng went quiet. She suddenly felt she was not as broke as she thought.

At the filming location, Director Yang frowned as he looked at Ruan Yingying. “Yingying, I am letting Mu Sheng come for the audition on your account. Since the part you recommended her for does not have much dialogue, I don’t mind doing you the favor.”

“Thanks, Director Yang.” Ruan Yingying smiled sweetly at the director. “You’re the best. I just feel sorry for her, so I want to help if I can.”

Director Yang liked artists who were kind and appreciative, so the director instantly looked happy when he heard what Ruan Yingying said. “You are such a good kid. I’m just worried that she doesn’t appreciate your help. Enough. Go on and get ready for the next scene.”

“Sure thing.”

After Ruan Yingying left, Director Yang flipped through the script. Ruan Yingying had recommended Mu Sheng for a negative and rebellious character in the story. Most actresses avoided parts like this out of concern they would ruin their saccharine image.

Mu Sheng was pretty and came cheap, so he did not mind giving her the part just for her good looks. However, she had a bad reputation. Fortunately, it was a small part of the series and he could ask her to leave after filming her parts.

At the filming location, the boisterous crowd suddenly went quiet as they stared at someone while she walked in.

The people working in the filming team had seen their fair share of beauties, but none of them could be compared to Mu Sheng. She was a breathtaking beauty who gave off a cool aura.

The moment Mu Sheng walked past them, everyone huddled to gossip, “Hey. Who was that celebrity? Considering how beautiful she was, she must be a superstar.”

“Huh? She is just a small-time celebrity. I heard she was kicked out by her previous talent agency and has a lot of bad press. What superstar? She is just a nobody.”

People went stunned. Was the bar to enter the entertainment industry so high that someone with an aura like Mu Sheng was just a nobody? Then what about real top stars?

Everyone inhaled as they thought about how competitive the entertainment industry was.
