Su Yaya tilted her head, deep in thought. She shared her ideas with Yan Junyi, who nodded attentively as he listened to her plans. He offered suggestions at opportune moments, and soon, they concluded their discussion.

“Director, we’re prepared,” Su Yaya said confidently.

Confident girls were very likable. Director Qu Jing waved his hand and replied, “Then begin the performance.”

…

One morning, Su Yaya rose from bed and drew open the curtains. Standing by the window, she gazed into the distance where a tall figure approached. As he neared her home, he looked up with a splendid, bright smile. Recognizing him, Su Yaya hurried downstairs.

She opened the door and his figure finally appeared. Yan Junyi, standing beside the door, handed her an exquisite gift box. She accepted it with a questioning look, and under his gaze, she opened the box to find a pair of couple’s watches. Su Yaya really liked them. She smiled happily and threw herself into Yan Junyi’s arms…

After their performance, enthusiastic applause erupted in the conference room.

Director Qu Jing was very pleased. He smiled and said to Su Yaya, “You really know how to leverage your resources. Your creativity and ideas are impressive. Well done, well done.”

“Thank you.” Su Yaya smiled and bowed.

The K Family’s representative was also pleased with her performance. The man nodded slightly; he now had a candidate in mind.

“Go home and wait for notification. We’ll inform you when the results are out,” Director Qu Jing told her.

“Okay.” Su Yaya smiled faintly and bowed before leaving the room.

As she walked out, she keenly felt the questioning and unfriendly stares directed at her. Su Yaya could guess what had transpired; she had spent the longest time in the audition room. Director Qu Jing and the others had even laughed cheerfully and applauded her and Yan Junyi’s performance, showering them with compliments. Such reactions had never occurred in previous performances, leading the other contestants to believe she had a high chance of success. Hence, they regarded her with hostility.

Su Yaya stared back at the rivals who were glaring at her. Regardless of whether she wins the advertisement or not, she maintained her composed demeanor, straightening her back and keeping her spirits high as she walked over in her high heels.

Zhou Peiyun hurriedly approached her, pulling her to the side and urging her to sit down. She asked, “How do you think it went?”

Su Yaya made an “ok” gesture with her hand, smiling as she replied, “If nothing unexpected happens, this advertisement should be mine.”

“Really?”

“Absolutely,” Su Yaya nodded confidently. She was very sure of the outcome.

Indeed, as Su Yaya had predicted, the reality reflected her assessment. After her outstanding performance, Director Qu Jing and the others found the other contestants lacking in personality and creativity. None could match her.

“Let’s finalize it then, number eighteen, Su Yaya,” Director Qu Jing announced, concluding the auditions. No one objected; everyone agreed that Su Yaya was the standout choice.
