Gu Jueye hugged her from behind, holding her hand in his, his well-defined fingers intertwining with hers.
"Why would you want to give me a necklace?"
Gu Jueye smiled gently: "I thought you would like it, so I bought it! Do you like it?"
Bai Qianmo nodded: "I like it."
It has to be said that Gu Jueye has a good eye for choosing gifts, but most importantly, it was a gift from him, so she liked it.
At the time, Bai Qianmo thought it was just an ordinary necklace. It wasn't until she attended a grand awards ceremony that she realized that this man had presented her with something truly unique in the world.
But he simply said casually, "I think you'll like it."

next day
Audition scene for the play "Green Fruit" at Haiyue Hotel.
When Bai Qianmo arrived, she unexpectedly encountered Xia Wei.
"Qianmo, which role did you audition for?" Xia Wei asked, a hint of trepidation on her face.
"Second female lead, what about you?"
Upon hearing that Bai Qianmo auditioned for the second female lead, Xia Wei patted her chest and said, "It's a good thing we didn't have the same role. I auditioned for the fourth female lead. It seems that our characters are best friends, so we'll have a lot of interaction. That's great! I can act with you, not only can we take care of each other, but I can also hone my acting skills with you."
Although Bai Qianmo didn't have many scenes in "The Legend of Phoenix", the few scenes she filmed could be described as amazing, especially the fight scene with Zhang Yafei, which was even more perfect than what a professional martial arts director would present.
Xia Wei felt that Bai Qianmo's acting skills were pure and genuine, and that such a person was destined to become a natural-born actor.
Bai Qianmo carefully recalled the character design of the fourth female lead. She was gentle, beautiful and intelligent. Because of her introverted personality, she was always bullied by her classmates. Later, she was protected by the second female lead, and no one dared to bully her anymore.
This character is quite a good match for Xia Wei's appearance.
Suddenly remembering something, Bai Qianmo asked curiously, "Are you the only one from your company who came to audition?"
Xia Wei shook her head: "Three people from the same company came."
Why weren't they with you?
"They must have come in the company's van. I came to the audition secretly; the company didn't know."
Bai Qianmo was suspicious. Given Xia Wei's appearance, she shouldn't always be relegated to the sidelines. Any agent with a discerning eye should have seen her potential.
But it seems that every time I see Xia Wei, she is alone at the audition, and most of the roles she auditions for are those with little presence.
Hesong has been developing rapidly in recent years, producing several first- and second-tier stars and signing many new talents. It is possible that they are relatively short of resources.
But no matter how scarce resources are, Xia Wei's situation is somewhat unreasonable.
Unless she is like me, belonging to the type of person who is semi-hidden by the company.
"Isn't this Xia Wei? You actually came to audition!" Two beautifully dressed young girls walked over together.
Although it's autumn, the two girls are still wearing hot pants and short skirts, with oversized Korean-style jackets draped over them at an awkward angle, deliberately exposing their slender, rounded shoulders.
The two were dressed in eye-catching clothes, but upon closer inspection, their features were fairly regular and there was nothing wrong with them. However, Bai Qianmo felt that the fact that there was nothing wrong with them was the biggest flaw.
Because they lack distinctive features, it's difficult for people to remember them at a glance.
Although the girl had a smile on her face, it didn't reach her eyes; her eyes, hidden beneath heavy makeup, revealed contempt and mockery.
When Xia Wei saw the two of them, her face remained expressionless, and she showed no intention of talking to them, clearly indicating that they were not friends.
"Qianmo, let's find a place to sit down."
Bai Qianmo could tell that Xia Wei didn't want to pay attention to the other party, so she nodded in agreement.
One of the girls, wearing a red baseball cap, said angrily, "Xia Wei, Qianqian and I tried to talk to you, but you ignored us. You have no manners at all!"
The other girl glanced at Xia Wei and Bai Qianmo with an arrogant expression, and felt a hint of hostility towards Bai Qianmo when she saw her face.
"Sirou, forget it, there's no need to bother with someone like that."
The girl in the red baseball cap who spoke first sneered, "That's right, people like this deserve not to get good roles. Qianqian, with your talent, the second female lead today is definitely yours."
With a confident smile, Yu Qianqian glanced at her companion and said, "My aunt said that we're best friends. If I get the second female lead role, the company will definitely help you get the fourth female lead role."
Mu Sirou looked happy and affectionately hooked her arm around Yu Qianqian's: "I knew you were the best, Qianqian. Sister Caiwen loves you so much, she will definitely help you get the second female lead. All the people who came to audition today are just your foils."
After saying that, Mu Sirou looked at Xia Wei with a cold smile: "Xia Wei, we are artists from the same company after all. I heard that you are also here to audition for the fourth female lead? I advise you not to waste your time. The second and fourth female leads today are definitely ours."
"The audition hasn't even started yet, don't make such big promises. It would be so embarrassing if you didn't get selected!" Xia Wei looked at Yu Qianqian with a mocking expression.
Thinking back on everything I went through a year ago, I now feel far more disgusted than hateful.
Yu Qianqian's arrogant face immediately darkened, and she looked at Xia Wei with a cold gaze: "Shouldn't you be the one worrying about not being selected? You're not even as good as a cleaning lady at Hesong. The company has no intention of promoting you. Do you really think you can get an important role on your own?"
"Xia Wei, someone like you is only suited to playing minor roles or maids in various TV dramas. You don't really think a pheasant can rise to the top and become a phoenix, do you? A year ago, Li Jiangyuan rejected you, so you should have realized how worthless you are."
