The list of names for Chapter 38 has been released.
These past few days, Liu Shangshang has been riding high. She's convinced she's landed a role in Director Chen's new film, and she's practically walking on air.
Yao Ling also actively sought out various press releases for Liu Shangshang, intending to take this opportunity to help Liu Shangshang reach a higher level.
She even boasted to the company that Liu Shangshang would soon star in Director Chen's new film. She was certain that the film's popularity would elevate her status.
The company was very satisfied with this and gave Liu Shangshang a lot of good resources, showing a clear intention to promote him.
Soon, Director Chen's new film was officially announced, and the cast was finalized.
"Sister Ling, why do you look so pale?"
Liu Shangshang wore a fashionable and luxurious dress, a diamond necklace, and exquisite makeup, making her look radiant.
When she arrived at the company, she saw Yao Ling, who looked unwell, and couldn't help but feel curious.
Upon hearing Liu Shangshang's voice, Yao Ling looked up, her face still gloomy, her voice carrying a calm that seemed to foreshadow an impending storm. "Shangshang, why did you suddenly change your mind and choose the role of Yang Yingying during the audition for Director Chen's new film?"
Clearly not expecting Yao Ling to suddenly ask about this, Liu Shangshang paused for a moment before laughing and replying, "Of course, it's because while waiting there, I was thinking about my future and wanted to prove my abilities as soon as possible!"
"Oh, really?" Yao Ling's tone remained calm, as if she had spoken casually. "I thought you changed your mind because you saw that Li Chuxi had chosen this role!"
A hint of guilt flashed quickly in Liu Shangshang's eyes, but she looked extremely surprised. "Sister Ling, are you serious? Chu Xi also chose this role?"
“Don’t you know very well?” Yao Ling stared intently at Liu Shangshang. “Do you remember what I once said? You wanted to take that gamble, but you didn’t think about what the consequences would be if you lost.”
"Sister Ling, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Liu Shangshang also noticed that Yao Ling was acting strangely. "Has something happened?"
What intrigued her even more was how Yao Ling knew that Li Chuxi had also auditioned for the role.
“That’s right.” Yao Ling nodded. “Just now, Director Chen announced the cast list, and your name wasn’t on it.”
Liu Shangshang, who had been quite calm, became flustered after hearing Yao Ling's words, but she still managed a forced smile. "Sister Ling, are you... are you joking?"
"Do you think I would joke about something like this?" Yao Ling was almost about to explode. "The actress who plays Yang Yingying is Li Chuxi."
"How could that be?" Liu Shangshang retorted instinctively. "Sister Ling, didn't you say that your senior—"
"Liu Shangshang, do you still have the nerve to talk back?" Yao Ling's words were laced with anger. "Don't you understand why things have come to this?"
"If you had followed my instructions and obediently auditioned for the role of that maid, would this have happened? Do you even know what you've done? You were so high-profile in announcing that you would be starring in Director Chen's new film, but now your name isn't on the cast list."
