Soon, the staff came out to announce the commencement of the auditions. Those called were to follow them into the audition room.

Each candidate was allotted five minutes for their performance. Some candidate who stayed longer walked out with relaxed expressions, while others left the audition room quickly with their heads down, head bowed in evident disappointment.

Su Yaya remained calmly engrossed in her Weibo browsing. Observing her demeanor, Zhou Peiyun couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you nervous?”

Without lifting her gaze, Su Yaya replied. “What’s there to be nervous about? Even if I were nervous, it wouldn’t change the outcome. No need for unnecessary anxiety.”

Zhou Peiyun stared at Su Yaya, who had a peaceful state of mind.

Soon, the staff called number eighteen, Su Yaya rose from her seat and gracefully made her way to the audition room, handing her number plate to the staff who guided her inside.

The audition took place in a corporate conference room. Su Yaya gently tapped on the door, upon hearing the beckoning voice from inside, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Five individuals sat on the desk within the room. Su Yaya recognized only one of them, Director Qu Jing, the middle-aged man with a round, chubby face. Beside him sat the K family representative, while on his right sat her handsome neighbor, the current popular celebrity, Yan Junyi.

 Seeing her, Yan Junyi flashed a smile in encouragement, fist-bumping to wish her luck.

Su Yaya responded with a sweet, faint smile, greeting the panel. “Hello, teachers. I am number eighteen—Su Yaya.”

Yan Junyu’s interaction with Su Yay caused a stir, even catching the attention of Director Qu Jing and the others.

Now that they saw the rumored leading lady, indeed, she was exceptionally beautiful. Her face, her figure, her every feature was simply captivating. Even in repose, she emanated a mesmerizing allure and undeniable sex appeal. She possessed the kind of presence that could make a man’s heart skip a beat and fall deeply in love with her.

Qu Jing whispered to Yan Junyi, “Xiao Yan, is she your childhood sweetheart?”

Yan Junyi softly laughed. He faintly said, “Not childhood sweetheart. We were just neighbors when we were kids.”

Neighbors when they were young, yet he remembered her clearly. Something was going on!

Su Yaya didn’t know what Director Qu Jing and Yan Junyi were talking about. She only heard what Director Qu Jing said to her. “Perform a scene where a boyfriend gifts their girlfriend a watch.”

“Okay.” Su Yaya nodded her head and smiled. She said, “Then can I have someone help me?”

She looked eagerly at Yan Junyi. Her target was clear.

Director Qu Jing started laughing among them. He clapped Yan Junyi on the back, smiled, and said, “She wants you to help her, so go ahead and act with her.”

Yan Junyi obviously wouldn’t reject her. Whether it was out of personal or business reasons, he wanted to help Su Yaya anyway, so he agreed right then and said, “Okay, I’ll act with her.”

Once he finished his words, the others chuckled good-naturedly, their laughter filled with warmth and encouragement.

Yan Junyi stood up while they were laughing. He walked towards Su Yaya and asked, “How are we going to act?”
