Chapter 159 The Real Heiress Kicked Out of the House—Getting the Role
Qin Qing got the electronic version of the script from her father in advance, and the two of them hurriedly began to study it.
This is a script about a high school boy and girl who secretly love each other. The female lead is a lively and cheerful type, while Yao Yao has a delicate and bright appearance. After reading the whole script, only the female lead's character stands out. Qin Qing immediately decided to give Yao Yao a new hairstyle.
The original owner always wore a high ponytail, with all the hair on her forehead combed up without any bangs covering it. Even after Yao Yao arrived, she didn't change her hairstyle.
Qin Qing took Yao Yao to a hair salon they frequented. Yao Yao sat obediently in the chair while Qin Qing spoke directly with the hairdresser, telling him what kind of hairstyle she wanted.
"Are you sure you want to cut this long hair like this?" the hairdresser asked the beautiful girl in the mirror, looking at her long, black hair.
Yao Yao nodded without hesitation: "Cut!"
Cutting her long hair is also a way of saying goodbye to the past. From now on, she, Ning Yaoyao, will shed the shackles of the past, travel light, and start anew.
With a "snap," a strand of long hair fell to the ground. Yao Yao looked at Qin Qing next to her in the mirror and smiled. Both of them understood each other's thoughts at this moment.
After an hour and a half, the haircut was finally finished. It was a neat short haircut that reached straight to the shoulders, with a thin layer of straight bangs in the front.
Qin Qing looked at Yao Yao, who seemed like a completely different person, and exclaimed, "Wow! Yao Yao, you look so beautiful! With that hairstyle, if you changed into a high school uniform, you would definitely look like a high school student!"
Yao Yao looked at herself in the mirror and realized she really did look like a high school student. She smiled with satisfaction: "You cut it really well!"
After saying that, Yao Yao smiled with satisfaction and gave the hairdresser a thumbs up, indicating that she highly approved of his skills.
The barber was very satisfied with the result and proudly said, "Thank you for the compliment! Welcome to visit again!"

The next day, after getting ready, the two went out and took the subway to their destination.
"Yaomei, after the audition today, we'll move. The houses my dad gave me before were all in Suzhou. After he found out I was coming to Beijing to develop my career and was planning to enter the entertainment industry, he gave me a house in a high-end neighborhood. My dad said that quite a few celebrities live there!"
Qin Qing whispered to Yao Yao on the subway.
The subway car was quite crowded. Qin Qing kept a low profile, knowing that the internet was very developed and netizens were good at interpreting things. As an agent, she was very farsighted.
Yao Yao: "Sister Qing, thanks to you. Without you, I would have had to go through a lot of hardship to get even a tiny bit of resources."
Qin Qing smiled: "Yao Mei, I also want to thank you. You don't know, I've always dreamed of being a manager, but I've never tried it. I just went to school and worked step by step. I'm a dreamer and quick-witted, but I'm lazy at heart. When I heard you say you wanted to enter the entertainment industry, I felt all my energy being mobilized!"
The two chatted and laughed throughout the journey, thoroughly enjoying themselves. They frequently checked the announcements to see if the bus had reached its destination.
The audition took place in a small room not far from a recording studio. It didn't look very formal, but the director looked like a decent person.
"Hello, are you Miss Qin?" A middle-aged man wearing glasses asked with a smile when he heard Qin Qing say that she was there for an audition.
Qin Qing smiled and nodded: "Hello, are you Director Xu? I'm Qin Qing, and this is my artist Ning Yaoyao. We're here for an audition."
Xu Baisong then turned his attention to the girl wearing a mask behind her.
Yao Yao took off her mask and stood in front of the director with a bare face. Xu Baisong was stunned. It wasn't just because of the girl's appearance, but also because of her overall aura. He felt an urge to tailor a drama specifically for her.
Some people, without saying a word or making a move, simply stand there and become the focus of everyone's attention, displaying the demeanor of a protagonist.
Xu Baisong sighed inwardly, feeling regretful, and said, "Miss Qin, I'm sorry, Chairman Qin told me about the audition, but he didn't say it was for the female lead. I just finalized the female lead yesterday."
Qin Qing wasn't disappointed when she heard that the female lead had already been cast; she and Yao Yao had come with a learning attitude.
Qin Qing quickly smiled and said, "Director Xu, I never said I had to audition for the female lead! You and my dad are old acquaintances, so I'll just call you Uncle!"
"Uncle Xu, you've misunderstood. To be honest, this is Yaoyao's first time acting. I brought her here with the intention of learning. Actually, we initially hoped to audition for a lead role, but that doesn't mean we won't accept other roles. Please see if there are any roles suitable for Yaoyao, and we're willing to give them a try."
Yao Yao chimed in, "Director Xu, don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship. I believe I have a certain talent for acting, and I hope you can give me a chance!"
Looking at the energetic and hopeful young people in front of him, Xu Songbai was very pleased: "Good! Good! I like energetic young people like you! Come on in, let's audition here."
Qin Qing and Yao Yao said together, "Thank you, Director!"
Although the production cost of this web series was not high, it was adapted from a best-selling novel from a few years ago, and the series still generated a lot of discussion online.
In the end, Xu Baisong only found a background role for Yao Yao.
Originally, Xu Baisong wanted to give the role of the third female lead to Ning Yao. However, during the audition, the agent of the star who was chosen as the female lead passed by, saw Yao Yao's face, and worried that she would steal the spotlight from the female lead. She directly approached Xu Baisong and threatened to refuse to give Yao Yao an important role, so Xu Baisong had no choice but to give up.
Although the actress isn't a big star, she has generated a lot of online discussion due to some ambiguous rumors with the male lead, and the two have quite a few fans who ship them as a couple.
Qin Qing and Yao Yao were unaware of this incident. For the two newcomers, getting their first role, no matter how small, was something to celebrate and commemorate.
The two enjoyed a sumptuous meal outside, raising a glass to celebrate this wonderful beginning. They savored the delicious food, their laughter echoing throughout. In this warm atmosphere, their hearts were filled with anticipation and hope for the future.
In the afternoon, the two called a moving company and moved together to their new place.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
