Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Overconfident Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Overconfident Shen Yan nodded at the two of them, then took a seat in the empty row in front of them.

Since the only available seats were next to them and every other spot was taken, Shen Yan wasn’t about to humiliate herself by standing in a corner to avoid them.

Thinking Shen Yan had come specifically for him, Mu Jincheng’s face looked a bit sour.

He also thought Shen Yan was doing it on purpose.

Remembering the scene when he encountered Shen Yan on the small island in Hai City, Mu Jincheng couldn’t help but cast several doubtful glances at Shen Yan.

Chu Jinghe could barely maintain her smile at this point.

As soon as Shen Yan appeared, Mu Jincheng’s gaze naturally followed her.

Chu Jinghe felt very anxious inside, fearing that Shen Yan would snatch Mu Jincheng away from her.

“Jincheng, I’m a bit nervous.”

Chu Jinghe shook Mu Jincheng’s hand.

Mu Jincheng abruptly pulled his gaze from Shen Yan, looked at Chu Jinghe, and reassured in a gentle voice, “It’s just like the usual auditions, don’t be nervous, you can definitely do it!”

Only then did Chu Jinghe regain her smile, “Do you really believe in me that much? What if someone steals my role?”

“That won’t happen, I believe in your ability,” Mu Jincheng glanced at Shen Yan, “You didn’t get in by pulling strings, it was Director Chen who personally gave you this opportunity.”

Shen Yan, sitting one seat away from them, could hear them despite their low voices.

She found the two rather amusing.

Chu Jinghe spoke as if she had already secured the lead role, confident that it was hers to take!

Mu Jincheng’s tone sounded sarcastic; she could tell he was hinting at her getting roles through connections.

With many others nearby, quite a few could hear their conversation.

That remark could potentially cast many odd looks towards Shen Yan.

However.

Everyone present was pretty astute; they didn’t show it on their faces, but deep down, they despised Chu Jinghe.

Her comment about the role being stolen indirectly offended those who were vying for the lead role.

Chu Jinghe must have been provoked by Shen Yan’s appearance; otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a thoughtless remark.

After saying that, Mu Jincheng kept observing Shen Yan’s reaction, but just like before, she was indifferent towards him.

If he felt like he realized Shen Yan’s difference during their last film, after the trip to Hai City, his identity was exposed, and many old friends from the entertainment circle contacted him under various pretexts.

He believed Shen Yan must have seen it and would definitely try to curry favor with him.

Yet Shen Yan still treated him with her usual cold demeanor. Didn’t she see the trending news and realize who he was?

However, looking at Shen Yan now, he felt she really wasn’t interested in him anymore.

Mu Jincheng didn’t know why he felt so irritable towards Shen Yan; it seemed like every time she showed up, she could stir his emotions and capture his attention.

Liu Su came back with the audition number for Shen Yan, looked at the two sitting aside, and said quietly to Shen Yan, “They’ve moved up your number a few places; it won’t be too long.”

He was worried about Qi Si becoming impatient.

He had just confirmed with Qi Si, who was actually still waiting outside, making Liu Su both surprised and happy!

In the past, Qi Si would never do such a thing as wait for someone!

But now, he was making an exception for Shen Yan. What did that tell?

It clearly showed that Qi Si felt differently about Shen Yan!

Liu Su was so delighted that the joy in his eyes almost spilled out, almost visualizing the loving image of the young couple!

It was simply too wonderful!

Unaware of Liu Su’s imagination of her and Qi Si in love, Shen Yan took out her phone to message Qi Si.

“Is Mr. Qi still waiting?”

Qi Si: “Yes.”

Shen Yan: “The audition might take a while, do not let it delay Mr. Qi’s time anymore.”

Qi Si: “No delay.”

Shen Yan: “Is Qi Group okay?”

Qi Si: “It won’t fall.”

Shen Yan: “…”

Why did she feel a bit defensive in his response?

Shen Yan: “Then I’ll quickly finish the audition and leave.”

Qi Si: “Hmm.”

Shen Yan put away her phone and waited quietly.

The feeling of Qi Si waiting outside for her to finish the audition was a bit strange…

But she didn’t dislike it, and even felt a subtle joy.

This must be what it feels like to be waited for.

Knowing that Qi Si was waiting outside, Shen Yan focused solely on finishing the audition and leaving, ignoring the glances that occasionally swept over her from around the room.

The two sitting across from Shen Yan were somewhat glaring, and the people in front kept looking back, their glances also sweeping towards Shen Yan.

The auditions moved quickly because there were several rooms, each testing different roles. Some were eliminated as soon as they started their opening lines, so the pace was getting faster.

It was Chu Jinghe’s turn first, and only then did Shen Yan realize that Chu Jinghe was also competing for the lead actress role, just two spots ahead of her.

Shen Yan watched as she went in, clutching her number card and continuing to wait quietly.

After Chu Jinghe entered, Mu Jincheng kept staring at Shen Yan.

Liu Su, sensing the tension, quickly moved to the other side, blocking Mu Jincheng’s view.

Protecting the couple’s happiness was all up to him!

Chu Jinghe spent a long time inside, which left the actress also auditioning for the lead role feeling more uncertain.

Director Chen had intentionally released a statement that stars of any caliber could audition, likely as a publicity stunt.

Perhaps the lead actress role was already pre-decided.

When Chu Jinghe came out, she was smiling, apparently having received praise from the audition staff.

Seeing her smile, the spirits of the others behind her dimmed.

Chu Jinghe’s smile made them feel like the lead role had already fallen into her hands, leaving them without hope.

“Jinchen!”

“Judging by your expression, you must have succeeded!”

Mu Jincheng appeared genuinely pleased for Chu Jinghe.

Chu Jinghe glanced at Shen Yan, who was still sitting, “Sorry Shen Yan, it seems you might not stand a chance for the lead role this time.”

Shen Yan gave her a look, “It seems Mr. Chu is quite confident in himself.”

“I’ve always been confident in myself,” Chu Jinghe openly admitted.

Shen Yan said, “When the lead role goes to someone else, I hope Mr. Chu can maintain this optimistic attitude.”

Chu Jinghe responded, “If there is someone better suited than me, it only means I wasn’t the best fit for the character.”

But she didn’t admit to lacking acting skills.

Shen Yan looked Chu Jinghe up and down, nodding in apparent admiration, “Mr. Chu’s confidence is something everyone could learn from.”

Chu Jinghe openly looped her arm through Mu Jincheng’s and with a smile glanced at Shen Yan, “We’ll be going first, good luck with your audition.”

Watching the two of them walk away hand in hand, Liu Su’s smile immediately faded, “How did she manage to get to where she is today behaving like that? Do her fans know how arrogant she is?”

“Let’s focus on ourselves. She might have had some luck before but going forward, it might not be the same,” Shen Yan heard her number being called and stood up, heading towards the audition room.

Lizi Building had a very discreet special passage. After coming out, Mu Jincheng and Chu Jinghe walked through this special passage, where a car was already waiting for them.

While waiting, Qi Si got out of his car, his tall figure leaning casually against the black sedan.

As Chu Jinghe was happily talking with Mu Jincheng, her glance caught the tall silhouette leaning against the nearby car. She paused, then her gaze fell on that stunningly handsome face, and she was instantly spellbound!
