Quick Transmigration: The Villain Boss is a Bit Cute - Chapter 115
Chapter 115
“It’s because of the host,” De’er explained the situation again.
Su Hua hadn’t expected her casual actions to have such an effect.
“This has nothing to do with me. Yu Yue has already gone after me, so how could I not get some payback?” Su Hua continued to chop vegetables without haste.
“Besides, in matters like these, if she wasn’t willing, no one could force her.”
At the end of the day, Yu Yue was proud, but deep down, she still longed for fame and fortune.
Just as the meal was ready, the door opened with a key.
“Boss, dinner’s ready.”
Lu Yunche noticed she seemed to be in a good mood, though he couldn’t quite figure out how.
“You’re in a good mood?”
“Is it that obvious?” With the male and female leads turning in early, of course, she was happy.
From now on, the experience of wearing a green hat will be even more unforgettable.
De’er: “…”
Sympathize with the leads for one second, and spend the next two feeling sorry for myself.
“Mm.”
Lu Yunche sat down at the dining table.
Today’s dishes included sweet and sour pork with pineapple, shrimp and egg custard, and twice-cooked pork—all his favorites.
“A couple of friends got together. I’m happy for them.”
Lu Yunche glanced at her and accepted the chopsticks she handed over.
“Hurry up and eat.”
Lu Yunche nodded.
As the delicious food exploded on his taste buds, warmth filled his heart.
After eating instant noodles for a month, a home-cooked meal like this was truly comforting.
“You should eat too.”
Lu Yunche picked up a piece of meat for Su Hua.
She was delighted, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
Infected by her cheerful mood, Lu Yunche enthusiastically ate three big bowls of rice.
“Boss, we’ve got an audition this afternoon, so we’ll need to head out.”
Lu Yunche asked, puzzled, “Audition? Where did that come from?”
“I told you I’m going to make you famous. Don’t you know your admirer is pretty powerful?”
Lu Yunche recalled her ferocious stance when she confronted the director yesterday and nodded in agreement.
“You really are impressive.”
Thinking it was just an ordinary drama, Lu Yunche didn’t realize until they reached the door.
“We’re auditioning for Xingquan?”
Su Hua nodded, smiling. “Boss, even though I’m a high-ranking executive at Xingquan, you’ll still have to rely on yourself for the audition.”
That’s not going to happen. If he doesn’t pass, this goddess will open the back door for him.
As for Su Hua’s first sentence, Lu Yunche didn’t believe it.
He thought Su Hua must have worked hard to secure this audition.
At the door of the sixth-floor audition room, a dozen or so young actors—some famous, some not—were waiting, accompanied by their agents and assistants.
The corridor was buzzing with activity.
When Su Hua and Lu Yunche arrived, the air fell silent for a moment.
Then whispers erupted.
“Why is he here?”
“Can just any random nobody show up?”
“What was the director thinking?”
“How could such a scumbag even be allowed to audition?”
“Keep your voice down. He’s got the looks, and if he’s willing, there are plenty of backers who’d love him.”
Lu Yunche heard the murmurs, his expression unchanged.
Was he angry? Of course. If it were the old him, he would have already knocked these people flat.
But not now.
No matter what, he couldn’t ruin the audition opportunity Su Hua had worked so hard to get for him.
“I say,” Su Hua stepped forward and looked around at everyone, “are you all gossips? Is it fun to talk about someone right in front of them?”
Most of those present were men, and Su Hua’s words made them look displeased, though none dared to argue back.
After all, they were all celebrities, and rumors like this wouldn’t look good if they got out.
They didn’t retort, but their agents and assistants certainly did.
“Can’t handle the truth now, can you?” one agent stepped forward.
The actor under his care had been in the same debut class as Lu Yunche, but all the male actors from that group had been overshadowed by Lu Yunche’s brilliance.
This agent, of course, held a grudge against Lu Yunche.
Su Hua sneered, “I wasn’t aware my Yunche had done anything.”
The agent, riled up by Su Hua’s attitude, snapped, “Everyone knows Lu Yunche is hated by the entire industry. Whenever he’s set to endorse a brand, the whole internet immediately boycotts it. If he didn’t pull some strings, how could he possibly get an audition for a big xianxia drama like Immortal Sword Fate?”
“Do you have any proof?”
“Who needs proof? Everyone knows it.”
Su Hua repeated, “Do you have proof?”
The agent, getting more agitated, shouted, “Who cares if I don’t? I’m saying he got the audition slot by pulling strings. What of it?”
“By that logic, Liu Yiyan also got his audition by sleeping with investors.” Liu Yiyan was one of the actors under this agent.
Thanks to the original owner’s memories, Su Hua was able to recognize him.
“Don’t spout nonsense! My Ah Yan got his spot through hard work!”
“Do you have proof? I’m saying he got it by sleeping with investors.”
“You…” The agent was furious but had no words.
Liu Yiyan stepped forward, “Miss, Brother Hai didn’t mean anything by it. Don’t take it to heart.”
“You stayed quiet until your agent couldn’t win the argument, and now you come out to speak? Hypocrite!”
Liu Yiyan: “…”
Everyone else: “…”
Sure, she’s right, but is it really okay to say it so bluntly?
Liu Yiyan was trying to smooth things over.
Your artist doesn’t have any backing—shouldn’t you just take the olive branch and back down?
“What’s with all the noise?”
At that awkward moment, the audition room door opened, and a man in his forties stepped out.
He glanced around and paused slightly when he saw Su Hua, then quickly looked away.
The agent hurried forward to complain, “Director Li, it’s nothing, really. But this assistant of Lu Yunche insulted us by saying Ah Yan got his audition slot by sleeping with investors. I couldn’t take the injustice and spoke up.”
“That’s not what happened—”
“Enough.”
Director Li cut off Lu Yunche.
Everyone exchanged looks, clearly anticipating some drama.
Poor Lu Yunche—after all the trouble of getting a big IP drama audition, and now it’s all ruined.
The agent’s face showed a smug smile.
Director Li looked at the agent and Liu Yiyan, then pointed outside.
“You two, leave. The crew has no place for those with ulterior motives.”
“D-Director Li, you mean us?”
“Yes, you.”
Director Li’s voice was cold.
“I watched the surveillance footage of what happened. Don’t bother defending yourselves—I’m not falsely accusing you.”
“Director Li—”
“If you don’t leave now, I’ll call security.”
Both the agent and Liu Yiyan left with faces ashen.
This audition, which had taken them so long to secure, was now completely ruined.
After they left, Director Li continued, “No more trouble. Anyone who stirs things up will end up like them. Now, let’s start drawing numbers for the audition.”
