After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Competing for the Lead Actress Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Competing for the Lead Actress “Shen Yan, Shen Yan! We’re trending!” Lin Shuangxu excitedly thrust the phone in front of Shen Yan, flipping to the bottom of the trending searches to show her.

Shen Yan glanced at the top few trending searches; two of them were about Mu Jincheng and Chu Jinghe.

Lin Shuangxu, a bit dazed, said, “I really didn’t expect that we could trend too! Shen Yan, your popularity is truly impressive!”

Lin Shuangxu didn’t wait for Shen Yan to speak, quickly scrolling through the comments section and giggled twice, saying, “Everyone is so loving, especially the Fireworks fans! Shen Yan, your fans are really adorable!”

Shen Yan watched Lin Shuangxu holding the phone and giggling, feeling somewhat helpless.

She took out her own phone and glanced at the top trending search.

The hashtag #CinderellaAndTheWealthyYoungMaster really grabbed attention.

The clicks and shares were very high.

It featured a sweet hand-holding photo of Mu Jincheng with Chu Jinghe.

Seeing this photo, Shen Yan indifferently tugged at her lip.

The two were together earlier than expected, and who knew what else would change moving forward.

Shen Yan just looked for a while and then turned it off.

“Shen Yan, do you think the Big Fireworks they are looking for could be your fan?” Lin Shuangxu speculated as she raised her head to look at Shen Yan, “If they aren’t your fans, why would people jump out to defend you by digging up the dirt on your detractors whenever there’s a negative trend?”

The guess was correct.

Lin Shuangxu never considered that Fireworks fans were rich and willing to spend a lot of money to hire hackers to expose the haters.

Recently, in the Red Hacker circles, people have been searching for “Big Fireworks”. Everyone studying computer science knows about it, and it has been a hot topic of discussion lately.

Shen Yan somewhat regretted naming it “Big Fireworks.”

In the evening, Liu Su came over to pick up Shen Yan, and suddenly, Shen Yan mentioned wanting to take on some engagements.

Liu Su immediately pulled out a bunch of engagements for Shen Yan, “Take a look, whether it’s commercials or temporary variety shows, there are quite a few rising popular ones recently. If you’re interested, you can pick one or two to attend as a temporary guest.”

Shen Yan browsed through them, her gaze landing on a movie and a variety show, “This ‘Black Shadow’ and ‘Extreme Speed’ both look good.”

Liu Su smiled, “Yanyan, you really have a unique eye!”

Shen Yan continued to look down, but only those two had caught her attention.

Liu Su continued, “Director Chen is an internationally renowned director! ‘Black Shadow’ is an undercover cop film, and the lead actress hasn’t been found yet. The role has quite a lot of scenes, and movies directed by Chen have always performed well at the box office! As for the ‘Extreme Speed’ variety show, it’s also very popular. The young people these days like playing with thrilling stuff, but it might not be quite suitable for you, Yanyan.”

Shen Yan focused on the brief description of ‘Black Shadow’ and asked, “What are Director Chen’s requirements for the movie?”

Liu Su knew Shen Yan was interested in this film and said, “Xinyu has invested in it, and getting a role in there wouldn’t be a problem, but if you want to compete for the lead actress, you’ll likely have to rely on your own capabilities.”

Shen Yan had never thought of relying on connections to squeeze in and said, “I’ll try my best.”

“Just right, ‘Stratagem Sage’ has started airing, and your scenes should be broadcast in the next few days. By then, you’ll have a work to show off. Director Chen doesn’t pick actors based on their popularity but on their capabilities, which is quite fair,” Liu Su added, fearing that Shen Yan would be disheartened if she wasn’t chosen for the lead role and spoke these words to console her.

Even if she weren’t picked, it wouldn’t matter. There were many young actresses and actors who had been dropped, and Shen Yan was just beginning to gain fame.

Backed by Xinyu, Shen Yan definitely wouldn’t crash and burn overnight like other celebrities.

She would continuously have resources and keep rising in fame!

After Shen Yan set her sights on ‘Black Shadow’, Liu Su began running around for her matters.

Meanwhile, as Xinyu was trying to secure a role for Shen Yan, Chu Jinghe, like a memory replayed, secured an audition for the lead actress as well.

In the memories, Chu Jinghe played the lead actress in ‘Black Shadow’, which made her a star overnight!

Thus, she was fully confident.

The lead role was already in her bag!

*

Xinyu was very supportive, and Director Chen gave face to them; Xinyu could send someone to audition for the lead actress, but Director Chen would choose based on real talent.

He wouldn’t lower his standards because of the power of capital.

After Xinyu agreed, they loosened up, but Director Chen was also worried that Xinyu might play tricks later.

He made it clear beforehand that if they didn’t choose their artist in the end, it would be their artist’s fault.

On the day of the audition, Shen Yan took leave.

Qi Si happened to have free time at home that day. When he heard that Shen Yan was going to audition at Lizi Building, he put down the insignificant work in his hands, appearing ready to see Shen Yan out the door.

Shen Yan looked at Qi Si in surprise.

Had the Qi Group gone bankrupt?

He actually had free time.

In recent days, she hadn’t seen him at all, and only today, when he was available to send her off, she showed a look of surprise.

“Uncle Liu can…”

Shen Yan wanted to say that Liu Su could accompany her to the audition, but when she turned around, there was no trace of Liu Su behind her.

Qi Si walked out ahead of her through the entranceway.

With no other choice, Shen Yan followed him out.

When they reached the car, there was the seemingly magically appearing Liu Su, sitting in the passenger seat and smiling at her.

Shen Yan: “…”

She didn’t know when Liu Su had developed this habit of disappearing and reappearing without a trace.

Throughout the journey, Shen Yan occasionally glanced at Qi Si.

Qi Si sat like an ice sculpture, without even moving his eyelids.

Withdrawn from the view, Shen Yan closed her eyes to rest, and the atmosphere in the car grew slightly chilly.

Liu Su, who had hoped for some lively conversation, said nothing.

Why did it seem like they were moving further away from each other?

Shen Yan, who hadn’t slept well the previous night, took the chance to nap in the car.

Qi Si sat coldly with a deadpan expression, lost in thought.

It was rare for Qi Si to not be busy with work in the car, yet Shen Yan had fallen asleep—Liu Su slapped his thighs in exasperation!

Such a precious moment, wasted!

Lizi Building.

As soon as the car stopped, Shen Yan opened her eyes, got out of the car, and left.

Qi Si simply sat in the car, unmoving, while Liu Su hurried to follow.

Many people were coming in and out of Lizi Building. Seeing such a low-profile car parked in a special passageway drew many curious glances.

It was still the fifth floor.

Shen Yan went straight to the audition area on the fifth floor. As soon as she exited the elevator, she saw a dense crowd of people. It was called an audition, but it looked more like a mass selection.

Shen Yan glanced to the side and caught the gaze of two people there.

Mu Jincheng had come with Chu Jinghe. He had just managed to disperse a group of people when he locked eyes with Shen Yan, who had just come in. Mu Jincheng frowned slightly, feeling that Shen Yan had deliberately followed them.

Chu Jinghe also frowned.

But she was surprised.

Because in her “memory,” Shen Yan hadn’t come here at all.

Thinking of Shen Yan’s recent popularity, Chu Jinghe couldn’t help but watch Shen Yan with a defensive stare.

Was Shen Yan here to compete with her for the lead role?

“Shen Yan!”

Chu Jinghe greeted Shen Yan with a smile first, highlighting her polite and gentle demeanor in contrast to Shen Yan’s high-profile presence.

The people around, hearing the name “Shen Yan,” all turned to look and were startled to see her in person!

She was even more beautiful in reality!

No wonder she had become popular.
