"What good news?"

Liu Yanran was taken aback, and her gloomy expression softened somewhat.

Since this is good news, it means that the album project is settled.

"Miss Liu, do you remember I told you about a film that's about to start shooting and the production team is looking for a suitable actress?"

"You mean 'The Story of the Seventh Prince'?"

Liu Yanran suddenly realized.

Mao Yingying did say before that she would help her get the opportunity to play the female lead in this TV series.

Since Mao Yingying said so, it must be settled.

"Yes, it's 'The Story of the Seventh Prince'!"

Mao Yingying nodded heavily, "Through these past few days of hard work and using a lot of connections, I've finally managed to secure a role for you, Miss Liu."

"Is she the female lead?" Liu Yanran asked eagerly.

"Uh...no!"

Mao Yingying gave an embarrassed smile, "Before I went there, they had already found a suitable candidate for the female lead. The role I found was different."

"Not the female lead?"

Liu Yanran was immediately disappointed.

Mao Yingying came running over in high spirits and was talking so excitedly; she thought it was because she had been helped to get a lead role.

Unexpectedly,

It turns out she's not the female lead.

What a disappointment!

However, out of curiosity, she patiently asked, "So what specific role did you find for me?"

Even if she's not the female lead, being the first female supporting character or a villainous female character isn't out of the question.

Anyway, once they've made their first appearance on screen, with the Liu family's wealth and connections, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

However,

"Uh... most of the female roles in this drama have already been cast. The only role I can find is a palace maid," Mao Yingying said cautiously.

This time, Liu Yanran simply stopped talking.

But his expression, which had just eased somewhat, darkened again.

She's the eldest daughter of the Liu family, how could they make her play a servant?

Mao Yingying really dares to say that!

Is this what they call incredibly good news?

"Does that maidservant appear on camera often?"

Liu Yanran remained silent, so Liu Yang asked another question out of curiosity.

"One episode... no, two episodes!"

Mao Yingying answered with a fierce but inwardly weak expression.

"Do you have any other good news?" Liu Yanran asked, barely suppressing her anger.

Mao Yingying's expression changed several times, then suddenly a brilliant idea struck her, and she exclaimed excitedly, "There's one!"

"Tell me about it!" Liu Yanran asked in a deep voice.

"The setlist for Wu Yanping's concert tomorrow has been released. I heard she only has one new song."

"only?"

Liu Yanran was furious. "This is the good news you were talking about?"

With Wu Yanping's current fame, even if she only sings her old songs, she can still attract countless fans to buy tickets to watch.

If they release another new song, what would happen?

"Miss Liu, you have to believe me, without me as her manager, her concert would definitely be a disaster!"

Mao Yingying was full of confidence, "I heard that she found someone with no fame or experience to be her manager, and this concert was arranged by her."

She paused for a moment and then added, "I had arranged everything for her concert quite well, but the new manager came up with some outrageous ideas and insisted on coming up with some ridiculous programs."

"Miss Liu, just you wait and see."

"Wu Yanping will definitely ruin the reputation I've worked so hard to build for her with this concert!"

"Once her reputation is ruined, your opportunity will come!"

"Don't worry, give me some more time, and I will definitely make you ten times more famous than Wu Yanping is now."

She spoke with such conviction, but Liu Yanran scoffed, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Mao Yingying's breath hitched.

But unwilling to admit defeat so easily, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Liu, I just need a little more time right now. Once I'm ready, I'll prove to you that I have the ability!"

"How long will it take you?" Liu Yanran asked.

"this……"

Mao Yingying hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

The promises I just made were merely a delaying tactic.

But if you ask her to give a specific time, she really doesn't know what to say.

Having suffered several setbacks in a row, she is now confused and feels guilty.

She didn't even have a plan for how to make a comeback.

If we talk about it for too long, Liu Yanran will definitely lose patience.

If she says it too briefly, she can't do it herself.

"If you don't have a feasible plan, then this job is over."

Liu Yanran's patience finally ran out. "I'll give you one day. Pack your things and leave."

"You're firing me?"

Mao Yingying's expression changed. "I just need some time, Miss Liu, you..."

"I've given you far too much time, but all you've done is disappoint me."

Liu Yanran's voice suddenly rose, "If I continue to trust you, you'll ruin me sooner or later."

Mao Yingying's body trembled.

Having said all that, it's probably no longer going to work for her to continue trying to fool Liu Yanran with ambiguous platitudes.

In a flash, she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Miss Liu, if you are really in such a hurry, I can prove it to you right away."

"Prove what?" Liu Yanran was taken aback.

"Prove that I have the ability to make you an overnight sensation!"

As she spoke, she immediately took a piece of paper out of her bag.

"What's this?"

As Liu Yanran took it, she subconsciously asked a question.

But before Mao Yingying could answer, she had already guessed.

This paper is covered with various Arabic numerals and many musical symbols.

"This is the music I composed!"

Mao Yingying said firmly, "I originally wanted to give it to you sooner, but I was always a little short of inspiration and it's not completely finished yet."

She pointed to the piece of paper in Liu Yanran's hand, "Just look at this melody, and you'll know my skill level."

"this……"

This time, it was Liu Yanran's turn to feel awkward.

Although she went to university and studied abroad, she was good at business and management, but she never had much contact with art such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. She couldn't even pronounce the most basic musical notes correctly.

Therefore, even if someone gives her a completed piece of music, if they don't teach her step by step, it's like a foreign language to her.

However, seeing Mao Yingying's confident demeanor, she didn't resist too much.

After all, Mao Yingying has already presented the song. If she doesn't understand it herself, she can have someone sing it first to find out whether Mao Yingying is telling the truth or not.

She may not have any talent for the arts, but she's never been ignorant, so she can still roughly tell whether a song is good or not.

Thinking of this, she handed the paper back to Mao Yingying, "Why don't you hum a tune for me?"

"Can!"

Mao Yingying didn't refuse. She took a deep breath and started humming along to the melody.

Of course, she felt a little guilty when she hummed the tune.

After all, she had plagiarized someone else's song from memory, and if Liu Yanran found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
