"Good morning."

Wen Lixuan frowned. "Your sister, Cheng Zaozao?"

“Yes.” Qiao Wanwan introduced excitedly, “In terms of looks, Zaozao is pretty, right? Her face is very photogenic, and she looks even better in photos than in person. Although she has never studied acting, she loved watching dramas while she was sick in the hospital for those years. She would analyze the characters’ personalities and offer her own opinions. Most importantly, she has the kind of talent you mentioned. I think she can totally give it a try!”

Wen Lixuan recalled for a moment, then shook his head. "Qiao Qiao, forgive me for being blunt, but it's probably because I've seen too many beautiful women growing up, and with your stunningly beautiful face overshadowing me, I haven't really felt any presence when I've seen Cheng Zaozao a few times..."

“You can’t say that. My sister is very outstanding,” Qiao Wanwan said seriously.

"You're just seeing things through a filter," Wen Lixuan said with a smile. "But I've been thinking about her appearance. While she's not stunning, she's definitely pleasing to the eye. How about this, you ask her if she'd like to audition. If she does, she can come and audition."

“I think so too. If she’s willing, she can give it a try. It’s not a bad thing.”

"Um."

It was Friday, and Cheng Zaozao came home from school. After hearing about it from Qiao Wanwan, she was a little embarrassed. "Sis, am I not cut out for this?"

"Whether it's the right material or not is not up to the two of us to decide. I just think that life is about trying things out. Just treat it as a fun experience. If it doesn't work out, we can go home. There's nothing to lose."

Cheng Zaozao was still a little worried, "Sister, what if I can't do it? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for you?"

"What's so shameful about it, Zaozao? You don't need to worry about anything. No one will laugh at you."

"Alright then." Cheng Zaozao finally agreed. "I'm actually quite curious about the film crew. I've always wanted to go and see them. Let's treat it as a trip."

"That's what I mean. I'll go with you first thing tomorrow morning."

"No way," Cheng Zaozao said with a smile. "Sis, you're a national treasure now. I can't let you come with me. Otherwise, my brother-in-law will definitely come too. I'll feel even more uncomfortable with the two of you there."

“That’s true. I’ll have my bodyguard take you there. When you get there, just look for Lixuan.”

"good."

......

The next day.

When Qiao Wanwan woke up from her afternoon nap, Cheng Zaozao had not yet returned.

She was just about to call Wen Lixuan when he called her first.

"Lixuan, I was just about to call you."

"Qiao Qiao!" Wen Lixuan's voice was filled with excitement. "What a pleasant surprise! I never imagined that Zao Zao would be so suited for acting!"

"......What?"

"At first, I just didn't want to offend you, so I gave her a chance to try it out. I didn't have any expectations. I didn't expect her to be so talented. She handled the emotions very well. The two assistant directors' eyes lit up, and they arranged another scene for her. Just like you, she can quickly get into the mood and immerse herself in the role!"

"If there's any shortcoming, it's that she's a bit inexperienced and timid, not outgoing enough, but that's a common problem for newcomers. If we guide her properly, she'll definitely be fine!"

Qiao Wanwan was stunned. "Really? You're not just saying this on purpose because of me, are you?"

"Am I the kind of person who can't separate public and private matters? Besides, this is about box office revenue. Do you think I'd use her just because of you?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"You mean you're going to use her?"

"Exactly. Not only should we use her, but she should also be my leading lady. She's very smart. I think if we find two teachers to give her a good lesson, she can join the crew in less than a month."

"You agreed so early on?"

“I told her, but she said she needs to go home and discuss it with you. Qiaoqiao, your little sister is really well-behaved.”

“Such a big matter, she really needs to think it over carefully, and it’s normal for her to want to discuss it with me.”

"Okay, then you should talk to her properly. I'm confident I can make her a star. It might not be as amazing as yours, but I can definitely help her establish herself in the entertainment industry."

"I understand, I respect her choice."

"good."

Less than half an hour later, Cheng Zaozao returned and said somewhat shyly, "Sister, there's something I want to tell you."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Li Xuan has already called me. Zaozao, I told you you are a very smart and capable girl. Look, in the whole capital, there are not many girls who can compare to you."

Cheng Zaozao blushed. "Sister, don't praise me blindly, or I'll become arrogant."

“It’s better to be proud than to be self-deprecating.” Qiao Wanwan pulled her hand and sat her down. “Li Xuan said you are very talented and wants to invite you to be the female lead in her new movie. What do you think?”

"I don't know," Cheng Zaozao said, looking confused. "Sister, do you think I can do it? What if I don't do well on the film and it interferes with my studies at school? Wouldn't it all be for nothing?"

"Zaozao, as long as you have determination and perseverance, you can definitely do it," Qiao Wanwan encouraged. "But you also need to be mentally prepared. A good actor has to endure a lot of hardship, hone their skills, and present good works to the audience, instead of thinking about how to hype things up and make money, understand?"

“I understand.” Cheng Zaozao’s eyes shone with determination. “Sister, I’m willing to try and put in my absolute best effort until I do it well.”

“Okay, since you’ve made up your mind, I support you.” Qiao Wanwan added, “However, I don’t want you to give up your studies. Although it will be tiring to juggle both, it’s nothing to suffer a little for your future.”

"Yes, sis, don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship!"

"That's good."
