"..." Jiang Hua gritted her teeth. She was extremely unhappy, absolutely unhappy.

They really think Jiang Shiwan is just someone with a few stinking bucks who puts on airs? Disgusting.

"Dare to put on a show?"

"How do you spell it?" Jiang Shiwan raised an eyebrow, seemingly unafraid.

"The winner stays."

"Why wouldn't I dare? This is my sister's heartfelt gift," Jiang Shiwan smiled.

The assistant pulled Jiang Hua aside: "Aren't you being too impulsive?"

"Don't you trust my skills? Don't worry, I'll win."

Jiang Hua blinked, her eyes full of confidence.

The assistant sighed. It wasn't that she didn't trust Jiang Hua, but wasn't this going a bit too far? Wouldn't it be better to just not have a production crew like this? Although she could understand that if you're leaving, you should leave with some dignity.

"...Alright then, it's up to you from now on."

Thanks.

Jiang Shiwan eventually asked the director to be the referee. The director initially didn't want to do anything, but he reluctantly agreed when he saw Jiang Shiwan there.

After all, he wasn't going to give any face to the person who had just given him the cold shoulder; he'd just leave as soon as he saw them.

But he still held back when facing Jiang Shiwan, after all, she had joined the crew with a salary...

A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.

"I heard you're going to put on a show?"

He glanced at Jiang Hua, then at Jiang Shiwan, and felt a bit troublesome. After all, he didn't have the free time for a meaningless competition.

He said somewhat impatiently, "I hope you can hurry up. I have a very important position in the crew."

The director has already been very tactful.

"I'd like the director to be the judge for both of us, so the result should be fair. However, I'd like you to select a scene for us to compete against each other. Is that alright?"

Jiang Shiwan smiled gently, appearing extremely kind and approachable.

Jiang Hua, however, had a cold face, her expression already showing impatience.

"All right."

The director picked up the script and casually flipped through a few clips. After deliberating for a while, he finally selected a clip. He had about ten minutes to prepare before going on stage to compete.

"Isn't the female lead yours? Why are you still comparing yourself to her?"

During a ten-minute break, the director found Jiang Shiwan and seemed dissatisfied with the competition.

"Director, I'm sorry to have wasted some of your time. I may have accidentally taken the role from my sister, and she was upset. As her older sister, I had no choice but to agree. You know our relationship isn't very good, and I want to try to ease the tension with her." Jiang Shiwan said, sounding somewhat disappointed, as if she was saddened by not being able to reconcile with Jiang Hua.

"I hope to reconcile with my sister, so I can only be tolerant in every way. Even if I lose later, I hope you will give me a chance to play the second female lead."

"..." The director paused for a moment, his expression complex, it was unclear what he was thinking, but in the end he still agreed.

"Thank you so much, director."

"Just put in a little more effort later."

The director looked at Jiang Shiwan's profile, her expression complicated, and turned to leave. She didn't care about what Jiang Shiwan had just said, but she could still see many clues clearly.

Is Jiang Shiwan really good to Jiang Hua? He's seen it all in the entertainment industry. Jiang Shiwan said she would lose; she probably already knew how to make excuses for herself. She really set up a good trap. This woman is very scheming, always calling him "sister"... But that's none of his business.

He just needs to sit back, cross his legs, and wait for the show to begin.

The two put on simple makeup in the dressing room, looking at the script intently as they did so, as if they really valued this role.

Why do you say you lost?

The assistant was a little confused. She knew she shouldn't ask, but she couldn't help herself.

Seeing that there was still a makeup artist beside her, Jiang Shiwan didn't get angry and glare at her. Instead, she said gently, "You should think about it yourself."

"......"

Jiang Hua was putting on makeup in her dressing room. She opened the script, and the scene was about the female lead looking for her best friend. The two of them went out to play together, but on the way, they met their true love.

"What a cliché plot."

She had barely finished speaking when her assistant chuckled and teased, "Then why did you answer? Aren't you just making a fool of yourself?"

Jiang Hua rolled her eyes. It seemed that she had asked someone else to take on this TV series, and she only asked them to help her get one because Gu Yiming thought she didn't have enough money. She wasn't very clear about the specifics.

It doesn't seem to be her fault now. How come she didn't know that Jiang Shiwan was trying to mess with her?

She opened her mouth as if to shut up her assistant, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

"So, are you confident?" The assistant raised his wristwatch, keeping a close eye on the time. "Time's almost up, about a minute left. Don't be nervous before you go on stage."

Seeing her assistant's anxious expression, Jiang Hua couldn't help but laugh. She was more worried than the emperor was.

Do I look like I'm not confident?

"It doesn't seem like it..."

"Don't worry, you've been following me for so long, why are you still so nervous?"

The assistant scratched his head, looking somewhat at a loss: "I was just worried about you."

"Don't worry, I'll win for you, and it'll be a complete victory." Jiang Hua was very confident. She had already mastered the trick to this plot, and it was a piece of cake for her.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Hua and Jiang Shiwan, dressed in their best, finished their scene in the last second, and the director couldn't help but stand up and applaud.
