Chapter 111 No Backdoors
After hearing what He Xue said, Jiang Wanning's expression instantly darkened.
It can make the other party ask this kind of question.
Jiang Wanning quickly searched her mind and the first person that came to mind was Meng Zhenyue, whom she had just met not long ago.
Didn’t Xie Yanchuan say that he was already dealing with this matter?
Why is Meng Zhenyue still here?
"He Xue, Ai Li, what are you doing here? Have you finished the work assigned to you? If you don't finish it today, you won't be able to leave work on time tonight!"
Jiang Wanning was feeling puzzled, and before she could ask in detail, Qi Huaian happened to walk out of the office and interrupted their conversation.
He was a usually gentle man, but he was strict when it came to his work.
He Xue was frightened when she saw this. She quickly stuck out her tongue and ran away.
It was at this moment that Qi Huaian noticed Jiang Wanning's figure and was surprised: "Boss Jiang? You're back."
"Why did you come to the company at this time without telling me?"
Jiang Wanning smiled politely: "I just came back from China. Since the company has been busy lately, I came to see if there's anything I can do to help."
"Then you came back just in time." Qi Huaian said, and asked Jiang Wanning to wait for a moment.
He quickly returned to the office, grabbed a stack of documents, and unceremoniously handed them to Jiang Wanning: "Mr. Jiang, this is the final list from yesterday's movie auditions."
"We've confirmed these ten people. Please review them. If they're all right, notify them to come for a retest this afternoon."
It happened that Ellie was called away by others to handle other work. Jiang Wanning took the document from Qi Huaian's hand, and of course she did not miss the fleeting discomfort on the latter's face.
"Are you going to ask me if I have a twin sister?"
Qi Huaian was a little shocked to have his thoughts discovered, but his years of composure in the workplace made him quickly realize the reason: "Did that girl He Xue tell you?"
At the same time, Qi Huaian felt something strange.
After all, he was the one who had guessed Jiang Wanning's true identity before, but he had never heard of the three children of the Jiang family, nor the existence of the fourth one.
So where did this woman who looks so similar to Jiang Wanning come from?
"yes."
Jiang Wanning confessed He Xue without hesitation: "But my parents really only gave birth to me as a daughter, so don't say you find it strange, I am actually confused too."
While Jiang Wanning was puzzled, she had almost finished reading the list of candidates for the auditions.
Just as she expected, she saw Meng Zhenyue's name on the last page of the document.
But at the same time, the nearly blank information on the latter's resume made her frown in dissatisfaction: "This is a complete newcomer with no acting experience. How could he have passed the audition?"
In Jiang Wanning's opinion, with Qi Huaian's professional qualities, he should not do such a thing.
"Do you really think that she is my twin sister and got married through the backdoor?"
"That's not the only reason."
After hearing Jiang Wanning's denial, Qi Huaian's brows furrowed even deeper than hers: "This girl was specifically requested by President Pei Yufeng."
"As you know, President Pei is the largest investor in our company's recent projects, and he holds an unshakable position in the Star Country community..."
That's why they took advantage of the situation and did this favor.
In fact, similar incidents were common when Jiang Wanning was in the domestic entertainment industry.
But at that time, she was just a small clerk after all, with little influence. Although she was dissatisfied with such backdoor practices, she was powerless to interfere.
But now it is different.
Jiang Wanning knew very well that if she wanted to make a career, she would not be able to achieve anything big by relying solely on these personal connections. What was really important was to have solid works that she could show off.
In response, she said gloomily, "Manager Qi."
"I think truly good works must be backed by talented professional actors."
"Yes, yes, that's natural."
"So, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future. If Pei Yufeng has any dissatisfaction, just tell him to come to me directly to negotiate."
For some reason, Qi Huaian felt an unbearable pressure from this girl who was several years younger than him.
He felt a cold sweat running down his back, and he was also very sure that the rumored eldest daughter of the Jiang family was definitely more courageous and resourceful than he had imagined.
Thinking of this, Qi Huaian hurriedly agreed to Jiang Wanning's request and urgently arranged for someone to remove Meng Zhenyue's name from the candidates who advanced from the auditions.
The lunch break passed in a flash, and before long it was time for the afternoon auditions and interviews.
Jiang Wanning sat in the main judge's seat, watching these young and beautiful girls show their talents one by one.
Seeing that the last artist participating in the selection was about to finish his performance, Jiang Wanning was preparing to discuss the final candidate for the leading role with Qi Huaian beside him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the closed door of the interview room was suddenly forced open by someone from the outside.
Meng Zhenyue came uninvited. After looking around with resentment on her face, her eyes finally fixed on Jiang Wanning who was sitting in the main seat.
"Didn't I already pass the initial audition? Why didn't you notify me about the second audition today? Did you do that?"
Her harsh scolding voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
But what surprised everyone even more was that her and Jiang Wanning's faces were almost exactly the same.
"Oh my god, why did today's presiding judge look so familiar? It turns out he looks so much like the newcomer from the last round of interviews!"
"No wonder I was so confident when I saw her acting like that before. Could this be the reason?"
"Shh! Didn't you hear her say she was eliminated? It seems that Chuangtu doesn't bother with these little tricks behind the scenes. They only look at real strength!"
Following the movement here, a burst of whispers immediately sounded in the venue.
At this moment, Jiang Wanning once again met Meng Zhenyue's all-too-familiar, yet now furious, face. She couldn't help but curl her lips and sneer, "The re-examination list hasn't been announced. Instead, the shortlisted candidates were notified directly via text message."
"So I would like to ask Ms. Meng, how did you know and how did you know that you were shortlisted?"
