<h4>Chapter 117: Rival Was Here</h4>


    A lovable first female lead, and an annoying second female lead.


    It showcased the skill of the actress if she could y the second female lead which the audience bitterly hated.


    An actress had attained the acme of acting if she could move the audience and they didn’t hate her anymore.


    “Let’s go,” Yi Ling urged Yan Huan outside. “If we don’t go now, it will be toote.”


    “Yes, I’ming.” Yan Huan said gently as she crouched down and patted Little Bean’s head. Then she gave her a handful of cat food and water, it was enough for her all day.


    “Meow... “Little Bean wed at Yan Huan’s clothes, as if she would not have her master leave her. Indeed, she was hard to leave, she was chubby and cute.


    Yan Huan stroked her back once more and then followed Yi Ling out.


    Yi Ling was nervous.


    “Huanhuan, are- are you afraid?” Yi Ling spoke with a stammer as if she had a thick tongue.


    “Afraid of what?” Yan Huan smoothed her hair, standing outside and waiting for the taxi with Yi Ling.


    “Afraid of failing.” Yi Ling pinched Yan Huan’s hand. “What should I do, I’m so scared!” She really was scared, as Journey to Fairnd was a big y with a huge investment. It had been selected to be made into a production two years ago and it was going to be made by Director Jin. His productions were a work of conscience, and in terms of ratings, they won several championships. There were a lot of actresses who owed their poprity to him, including the current hottest movie star, Liang Chen.


    Yan Huan was only 20 years old and she didn’t have any outstanding performances as she had mostly yed walk-on roles since she started her acting career. Though she had nearly four years of acting experience, but she was still new to being a main actor on the stage. If she could y a role in Journey to Fairnd- let alone the first or second female lead- it would be great for her career. She would be famous even she yed the third or fourth female lead. Since Yan Huan was young, it was enough for her to achieve personal advancement for a few years.


    Therefore, how could she not be nervous?


    This role was like a juicy steak in front of them- they could eat meat everyday if they got it. If they failed to, however, they might still get epted for a second or third ss role due to the arrangement of theirpany. An actress sometimes only needed one role to be popr.


    Journey to Fairnd was a golden opportunity in Yi Ling’s eyes, but she had no idea whether Yan Huan would able to seed in the audition or not.


    Director Jin had strongly rmended Yan Huan to y in the drama, and thepany didn’t even arrange other work for them as they were afraid to miss the slot.


    But no one could know whether it was Director Jin would help Yan Huan get the part or if he was just being nice.


    Yi Ling couldn’t bear to imagine Yan Huan failing the audition, how long she would need to climb the socialdder. In the entertainment circle, you’re famous once you be popr among the public, otherwise you could stay at the bottom until you were old and nobody cared.


    Yi Ling’s legs began to tremble when the taxi arrived.


    Yan Huan got into the taxi. She looked at her fingers which were clean, white, and slender. Undoubtedly, she had good-looking hands. In this life, no matter how, she would hold onto those she had lost in her previous life in those delicate hands.


    She could get back what others once owed her only when she stood on the top.


    Her eyes suddenly darkened and she startled Yi Ling with the sudden change in demeanor. Yi Ling quickly moved closer to her, Why do I feel so cold suddenly? Is that... that thing around?


    It took half an hour to reach the audition. It was an open audition, so there were a lot of people around. Though Director Jin had rmended Yan Huan to join his cast, they didn’t know how many people he had rmended besides her. She lined up in the queue, which had more than a hundred people, seeing some faces that were already quite well-known.


    Yi Ling registered a number for Yan Huan, then they sat down on the bench.


    Yan Huan nced around secretly, there were a lot of people here, as expected. Director Jin’s dramas had always been a sess. As long as it was an open audition, of course there would be many peopleing over, including some already famous actresses. There were still a lot ofte arrivals, too, and those who had already been decided behind closed doors.


    Yan Huan put her hand on her knee, some of them were talking, and some of them were ying on their phone, but she was different, she hid herself like a hollow man with her eyes lowered.


    “Why is she here?” Yi Ling shouted suddenly, both surprised and amazed.


    Yan Huan lifted her face and looked at the direction Yi Ling pointed. When she saw who was there, she frowned, “Ugh, why is she here?”


    It was none other than Wen Dongni.


    Last time, Director Jin mentioned that he wouldn’t need an actress like Wen Dongni in his cast, so why she was here? Yan Huan reached out and gently scraped the wall with her fingers. After a bit of thinking it was clear...


    Director Jin had a huge influence and Journey to Fairnd was a big drama, Wen Dongni was not a fool. As long as she got a part she would have the chance to be famous, nobody would scold her for having the audacity to show up in the first ce.


    Yan Huan never thought Wen Dongni woulde for the audition, but here she was now. She had probablye for the second female lead, too. Yan Huan smiled with closed lips, It doesn’t matter, no matter what, I will get the role of second female lead.


    Wen Dongni’s agent said something to her, she seemed unwilling at first and pulled a long face, but in the end she entered the room with her agent.


    Yan Huan did not know what they were going to do, they were probably going to apologize.


    Soon after, they came out looking rxed andfortable, perhaps Wen Dongni was able to audition after all.


    Yan Huan lowered her eyshes and gently sped her hands together, she wasn’t afraid Wen Dongni. In fact, she wasn’t afraid of anyone except those who were dedicated, well-known, and had a strong backing as she knew that with a big drama, some of the actors would join the cast through rtions, and sometimes the first leading role of male and female would be decided by the sponsors. Whatever, please just leave me the second female lead.
