âWhatâs up with the production team? Theyâve invited a wet-behind-the-ears girl as a judge! This is a blatant disregard for us.â
The first to open his mouth was Xue Huaimo, a director with a notorious reputation for his scathing and explosive remarks. He was stern and fastidious, had a great ego, and showed no mercy when in a foul mood, not even towards a top actress.
âThe weak canât fight the strong. The rumor is that the young miss is an insider planted by GT, the biggest investor. Theyâve got powerful backing.â
Cheng Ying took a small sip of her coffee and made a sarcastic remark.
Two years ago, GT Group ruthlessly rejected a sincere endorsement offer from GE Entertainment Company. Sheâs held a grudge since then, and naturally had no good feelings for Gu Li, whom GT took a liking to.
Unsurprisingly, the newcomer was a nepotist. Xue Huaimo sneered, his impression of Gu Li only worsened.
The faces of the other two producers were quite unpleasant to look at.
In such an atmosphere, Gu Li was led into the lounge room by Director Yang.
âLadies and gentlemen, our final judge has arrived. Iâve brought her here to get acquainted with you all.â đđłđđđđđˇđđ°đđđ.đ¤đ°đ
Director Yang greeted everyone with a beaming smile.
Everyone finally turned their gaze towards the source of the sound. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
Seeing Gu Liâs face, still unspeakably beautiful without any trace of makeup on, the amazement was evident in everyoneâs eyes.
However, the girl came into the team backed by resources and possessing stunning good looks. It was all too easy for her to be labeled as someone who climbed the ranks using âunspoken waysâ.
As such, no one was genuinely friendly towards her.
Unaffected by their sullen attitude, Gu Li gave a faint smile and bowed politely, âGreetings to all the distinguished seniors. My name is Gu Li. Iâm honored to be co-judging this program with everyone. I look forward to learning from all of you.â
Once she finished speaking, Director Yang introduced hurriedly, âThough Miss Gu is young, sheâs a beloved comic artist and TV drama blogger who has a unique perspective on acting. The production team saw this and specifically invited her over.â
Cheng Ying unkindly suggested, âIf Miss Gu is so talented, why not put on a performance for us to enjoy?â
She didnât believe Gu Li had any acting skills and only wanted her to make a fool of herself in public. Ideally, she would thoroughly provoke the highly influential director, Xue Huaimo, and get kicked out from the production team.
While Cheng Ying was planning all this, Jiang Cheng, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke, âWho canât criticize on paper? Whoâd want to watch her? Itâs a waste of time.â
With a few words, he ruined Cheng Yingâs scheme, though it was also unclear whether it was deliberate.
Feeling exasperated, Cheng Ying forcibly maintained a smile on her face, âDirector Xue, arenât you always the most talent-loving? Todayâs a rare opportunity. I believe youâd also want to see Miss Guâs acting skills?â
Xue Huaimo frowned, scrutinizing Gu Li with an appraising gaze. âCan you act?â
Gu Li stood tall, her tone neither humble nor haughty, âYes!â
âBragging!â
âIâm telling the truth.â
âHmph!â
Xue Huaimo scoffed with a sarcastic smile that didnât reach his eyes. âFine, act for me. But if you act badly, get out of my production team.â
âWhat if I act quite well?â
Gu Li countered.
âHahaâŚâ
Before Xue Huaimo could answer, Cheng Ying couldnât wait and she laughed, âThe ignorant girl thinks too highly of herself.â
Gu Liâs eyes swiveled to Cheng Ying, she spoke seriously, âTeacher Cheng, since you look down on me so much, dare you make a bet with me?â
Cheng Ying refused, âWhy should I bet with you?â
Seeing her not taking the bait, Gu Li breezily said, âOh, so youâre scared.â
As expected, provocation was the most effective way to deal with arrogant and conceited people. Even someone as smart as Cheng Ying couldnât evade this trap.. âNonsense! Am I afraid of you? Tell me, how do we bet?â
