Qianying Entertainment, Liu Xu's Office

Liu Xu looked at Du Yuanzhe who was sitting in front of him and asked, "Why did you feel like coming to the company today?"

Du Yuanzhe looked at him and Xiaopang and said, "I'm here to check on your exercise results over the past two days. Come with me to the gym later."

Xiaopang's face froze, and he immediately turned to look at Liu Xu, asking him to make a decision quickly.

Liu Xu was more mentally stable than Xiao Pang, so he said calmly, "No problem. I'll go with you when I finish what I'm doing."

Xiaopang's eyes widened. They hadn't exercised in the past few days. If Du Yuanzhe checked them, they would be exposed.

Liu Xu signaled him to calm down and said with a smile: "You didn't come to the company for us, did you?"

Du Yuanzhe pretended not to notice the eye contact between the two and said, "I heard that the company recently invested in a drama and is currently casting for it?"

Liu Xu said: "That's right. This is a local drama. The whole drama is about the life of the heroine, so the requirements for the heroine are very high. The first requirement is to match the character image. There are also requirements for the actress's acting skills and dialect accent."

"The director of this drama is particularly good at shooting TV dramas with female themes. He carefully polished the script this time. After reading the script, the company's planning department immediately sent a letter of opinion on investment to President Xia. After President Xia signed his consent, the entire project started."

"The company originally wanted to promote its own artists, but unfortunately, no one was suitable in the internal casting a few days ago, including Yang Shiyao. The director felt that Yang Shiyao looked mature and beautiful, and was not suitable for playing a rural woman."

"Yang Shiyao refuted the director's stereotype, but the director said that a heroine who fits the public's imagination is more likely to catch the audience's attention. Only if the audience stays will they watch the next story. Using Yang Shiyao is too risky."

Liu Xu continued: "We couldn't find the right person within the company, so we had to conduct an open casting."

There is a degree of match between roles and actors. Just because you have good acting skills doesn't mean you can play any role, just like most actors in their forties find it difficult to play the role of teenage boys and girls.

"Because the female lead is so important, the casting for the female lead will be held separately. The company has already announced that the audition for the female lead will last for three days, and today is the last day. The casting location is on the third floor. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "I'm not interested."

Liu Xu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Then why are you asking this?"

"I have a friend who will be auditioning. You know her, Wei Lingling, who loves entertainment."

Liu Xu understood: "Her appearance is quite suitable. With a little makeup, she looks like a simple and innocent girl. It depends on whether her acting skills can satisfy the director. She also needs to be able to speak the dialect."

Du Yuanzhe said: "She doesn't speak dialect, but she has a great talent for languages."

The heroine in the novel was able to successfully get this role thanks to her talent for languages, otherwise she would not have been able to defeat so many competitors.

Liu Xu didn't know Wei Lingling's talent for languages, so he shook his head and said, "The director requires a natural accent, so learning it on the spot won't do. Wei Lingling is probably in trouble."

Du Yuanzhe had read the novel and knew that the reason why Wei Lingling came to the casting on the last day was because she had been working on correcting her accent and only came for the audition after making sure it was completely natural.

To be honest, he really wanted to complain about the fact that the protagonists in novels always got stuck. He could ignore it because the author controlled the development of the plot, but he was really afraid that something unexpected would happen and delay Wei Lingling's audition.

Prior to this, Du Yuanzhe had actually called Wei Lingling and told her that Wang Linxuan was planning to mess up her audition, asking her to be careful and to attend the audition as soon as possible.

But it was useless to remind her in advance. No matter how good Wei Lingling's language talent was, it would take time to learn a dialect from scratch and practice her accent to be like a local. Being able to make it to the audition on the last day was already a result of Wei Lingling working day and night.

Du Yuanzhe came to the company early to wait in case Wang Lianxuan bribed people in the company to trick Wei Lingling.

He even called Jiang Chelin and asked him to monitor Wang Lianxuan's every move. There were also fat people watching You Yingxue.

Du Yuanzhe stood up and walked to the window, looking at the cars coming and going on the road outside, his eyes became deep. He had done the utmost in defense, and hoped that everything would go well.

"Xiaopang, go and keep an eye on her for me. Let me know when Wei Lingling arrives at the company."

"Okay, Brother Zhe."

Xiaopang left the office and went to the lobby to wait for Wei Lingling.

Liu Xu noticed his strangeness and asked in confusion, "Is something big going to happen? Why do I feel like something is wrong with you?"

Du Yuanzhe said softly: "I said I am saving the world, does Brother Liu believe it?"

Liu Xu answered him seriously: "Show me how you can transform on the spot, and I will believe it."

Du Yuanzhe laughed: "You still don't believe it."

Liu Xu said unhappily: "Only a fool would believe that."

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said nothing more.

He has done his best to ensure that the audition goes smoothly and hopes that there will be no accidents.

......

It was almost noon, but there was no movement on Du Yuanzhe's phone.

He was becoming increasingly uneasy.

Jingle Bells——

Du Yuanzhe answered the call immediately.

Jiang Chelin's tired voice came: "Lingling was in a car accident."

Boom——

Du Yuanzhe's brain seemed to explode: "What's going on?"

Jiang Chelin said, "She was hit by a truck that ran a red light on her way to Qianying Entertainment. She is in a coma. The doctor said she had a mild concussion and needs to be hospitalized for a week."

To be honest, after such a serious car accident, I should be thankful that I only suffered a minor concussion, but the timing was too special.

"Did you investigate the driver?"

"I checked all his relatives and bank statements and found nothing unusual."

"Where's Wang Lianxuan?"

"She was very quiet and she didn't even make a phone call in the past few days."

Jiang Chelin rubbed his forehead and said, "I checked everything I could, it must really be an accident."

Hearing the hang-up sound, Du Yuanzhe put down his phone.

It couldn't be an accident!

[It should be that the luck plundering system consumed the luck and affected the driver. The heroine is the child of luck, so nothing serious happened.]

Du Yuanzhe's expression changed suddenly, and he asked in his heart: "It can actually control people?"

[It is not controlling people. It cannot control people at will. It should have changed the red light in the driver's eyes at that moment, so the driver ran a red light.]

[This requires a lot of luck. The luck it has plundered now is definitely not enough. It should have borrowed Wang Lianxuan's luck.]

[Unless it can plunder a lot of luck from the heroine, otherwise this kind of thing will not happen a second time.]

If the Luck Plundering System really had the ability to manipulate the world, it would not be so cautious and would have harvested the heroine's luck long ago.

Du Yuanzhe couldn't help but say disapprovingly: "We are both systems. Look at him, then look at you. You seem to be useless."

[I am better than it]

"If you mean you can control my life and death, you'd better not say it."

[That's not what I mean]

Du Yuanzhe's eyes lit up: "Then show it to me."

[Cannot display, already used]

"Hey man, let's take what you said as the truth. How can a one-time ability be compared with someone's ability to last? Stop bragging."

[Isn't it because of... such a ruthless person?]

The system stopped talking halfway, and cursed Du Yuanzhe in a childish voice before falling silent again.

Du Yuanzhe felt relieved and his depressed mood was greatly relieved.

Liu Xu looked at Du Yuanzhe's changing expression and wondered, "Who called you? Why did you look so stupid after answering the phone?"

Du Yuanzhe calmed down and said, "Nothing, I'm leaving now. By the way, tell Xiaopang that he doesn't need to wait for Wei Lingling anymore."

After leaving the office, he did not go downstairs, but pressed the button for the top floor.

Cheng Yu saw Du Yuanzhe coming out of the elevator and immediately came over to him: "Second Master, are you looking for the president?"

Du Yuanzhe nodded.

Cheng Yu said: "Wait a moment, I will go and report."

After all, there are other people here, she can't just let Du Yuanzhe in.

After a while, Cheng Yu came back and said, "President, please come in."

"Thank you, Assistant Cheng."

Du Yuanzhe walked straight into the president's office.

Xia Ningmi sat behind her desk and asked, "I heard you came to the company early in the morning?"

Du Yuanzhe said: "A crucial scene was supposed to happen here today, so I came here specially to take a look."

Xia Ningmi accurately captured the key word: "Originally?"

Du Yuanzhe explained: "Wei Lingling was supposed to participate in the open casting for the female lead in that rural drama, but she had just been in a car accident and was hospitalized. It would take at least a week for her to be discharged."

Xia Ning looked at him: "Man-made?"

Du Yuanzhe said in a deep voice: "Although there is no evidence, I am 90% sure it was man-made."

"What do you want me to do?"

He didn't need to say much, Xia Ningmi guessed why he came to see her.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Wei Lingling must get this role. I hope you can talk to the director and give Wei Lingling a chance to audition."

He knew that Xia Ningmi didn't like him mentioning Wei Lingling, so he didn't want to trouble Xia Ningmi about this matter. But now such a big accident has happened, and if Du Yuanzhe wants Wei Lingling to get another audition opportunity, he can only ask Xia Ningmi for help.

The system has just made it very clear that once the Luck Plundering System obtains a large amount of luck, it can create another car accident like today's one for which there is no evidence.

Wei Lingling is the child of luck and can save her life under the calculations of the luck plundering system. What if the luck plundering system targets someone else next time?

There is no way to prevent this kind of thing.

The most effective way is to prevent it from getting any luck.

Xia Ningmi watched his eyes gradually become fierce, and she knew that he was thinking of something in his mind, but unfortunately Xia Ningmi only heard the sound of crackling.

But she would not refuse any of his requests, and this time was no exception: "I've told the director that I will inform Wei Lingling about this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

Du Yuanzhe nodded: "Okay."

......

Jiang's Old House

In order to prove her innocence, Wang Lianxuan has not contacted the outside world for the past few days. She learned about Wei Lingling's hospitalization from the Internet, and then saw the announcement issued by Huanxing Entertainment.

"It was just a minor concussion. It was a relief for her."

Wang Lianxuan was very dissatisfied with the result.

[The heroine is protected by luck, so it is difficult to cause her too much harm, but the purpose of preventing her from auditioning has been achieved.]

Wang Lianxuan's eyes lit up: "You got luck?"

[No, you need to wait until the female lead of this drama is decided before you can get it]

Wang Lianxuan pouted: "That's still not safe. You might as well use my previous method to expose Wei Lingling's dirty laundry online and ruin her reputation. Then the director will definitely not use her."

[What's fake can't be real. With the male protagonist here, no matter how convincing the revelations are, he will be able to find loopholes. Then, not only can the female protagonist prove her innocence, but she can also attract some attention. I have done this in other worlds, wasting my luck to help the female protagonist.]

Talking about past experiences, the Luck Plundering System sighed a little.

Wang Lianxuan felt an inexplicable chill in her heart. At this moment, the Luck Plundering System was particularly like a human being. Except that it could not appear in reality, its tone and IQ were almost exactly the same as those of a human being.

Wang Xianxuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not a human?"

[Of course not. I told you long ago that our world is very technologically advanced, and anthropomorphic intelligent systems like mine are very common.]

Wang Lianxuan felt a little relieved since it was impossible for it to appear in reality anyway.

......

Yancheng First Hospital

Jiang Chelin was accompanying Wei Lingling in the ward. Wei Lingling had already woken up at this time. She repeatedly emphasized that having her agent and assistant was enough and she didn't need Jiang Chelin to accompany her.

But Jiang Chelin was too stubborn to leave.

Wei Lingling couldn't do anything about him. The only consolation was that her agent and assistant did not leave the ward as instructed by Jiang Chelin. Ever since Wei Lingling and Jiang Chelin broke up, her agent and assistant were no longer as obedient to Jiang Chelin as before.

Although they would also persuade Wei Lingling and Jiang Chelin to reconcile, at least they would not do anything that goes against principles.

Wei Lingling felt slightly relieved that she was not mistaken about the person.

Tick, tick, tick——

The sound of high heels was heard in the corridor, and as the sound faded away, there was a knock on Wei Lingling's ward door.

The assistant went to open the door and opened his mouth in surprise when he saw the person coming: "Mr. Xia?"

Xia Ningmi walked in and saw Wei Lingling sitting on the hospital bed and Jiang Chelin sitting next to her.

Jiang Chelin stood up and asked: "What is President Xia doing here?"

Xia Ningmi walked up to Wei Lingling and said calmly, "I have something to talk to Miss Wei alone."

Jiang Chelin frowned: "What do you need..."

"You guys go out first."

Wei Lingling interrupted Jiang Chelin.

Jiang Chelin had no choice but to walk out of the ward with a gloomy face. Wei Lingling's agent and assistant followed him out.

Even though she had seen Xia Ningmi several times, she was still amazed.

Wei Lingling's face was still a little pale, and she smiled and said, "Please take a seat, Mr. Xia."

Xia Ningmi: "Are you planning to audition for the female lead role in "Yun Miao" today?"

Wei Lingling said regretfully, "That's right, it's a pity that I was unlucky and missed the audition."

Xia Ning said: "When you are discharged from the hospital, we will arrange a private audition for you. As long as you can impress the director, the role will be yours."

Wei Lingling was stunned for a moment, then said ecstatically: "Thank you, President Xia."

Xia Ningmi said calmly: "I was just entrusted by someone."

Wei Lingling understood what Xia Ningmi meant and said with a smile, "Please ask President Xia to thank Yuanzhe for me."

Xia Ningmi frowned slightly: "If you thank me, you are thanking him."

Wei Lingling blinked. Hearing this tone, she inexplicably recalled the countless times Jiang Chelin had been jealous in the past.

"Boss Xia, Yuanzhe likes you very much. This is the first time I see him like someone so much. I hope you can be happy."

Xia Ningmi's tone was a little warmer: "Thank you."

Then she turned and walked away.

Wei Lingling looked at her back and suddenly understood why it was not Du Yuanzhe who told her the news.
