Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

The two girls who were originally planning to gossip and sympathize with Ran Xueyi because of the lost second female lead role couldn't close their mouths.

They were in too much to speak and even when those who left with them from the waiting room had already drove out of the studio, they still stood in their place as they dazedly look at each other.

Did they just comforted a supreme veteran actress as if she was a common amateur actress?

How embarrassing!!!

...

Meanwhile, inside the audition room.

"Sigh... Why do we still have to waste our time to pretend as if we're choosing an actress from outside? Why can't we just announce that we already picked some people to play the roles in the movie?" A young director couldn't stop himself from yawning.

Director Lan glanced at his fellow directors. He was the youngest director in the group. However, his reputation and ability as a director was no doubt on par with the award-winning directors in the room.

Director Chi turned his head to him and didn't respond.

The movie was licensed and signed by Giants Media, the second largest media in the country. Originally, the director who picked up the movie from the original author of the novel <<The Great Empress' Love>> wanted to personally choose a suitable actress who will play the leading role. However, the Giants Media interfered and had a very long meeting with the directors of the movie.

Aside from the profit share they will get from licensing the movie and distributing it locally and internationally, Giants Media demanded that the roles for the leading role will be given to an actress of their picking at the last minute. Moreover, Director Zhao also recruited his own niece to be the second female lead.

Thus, they ended up making up a story that there would a serious audition where they will pick the actresses who will play these roles when in fact, the two roles were already taken and filled by someone else.

Director Lan looked down and flipped the resume the actresses sent over days before the audition. Their basic information, qualifications and experiences were all written in the documents they sent over.

Earlier, he read the Qin Ling's resume and found that she had been in the acting industry for four years now. She had several leading roles under her belt and even won a few awards. If you only close your eyes and ignore the fact that she got the second female role due to her uncle, one would think that she was quite capable.

With that, Director Lan kept his other opinions to himself and didn't complain anymore.

Anyway, he will just sleep through the whole duration of the audition and treat it as a day off.

Just when he was thinking of this, out of courtesy, he flipped the page and went to the resume of the next actress.

Then, his fingers paused.

Just then, the door to the audition room was pulled open and a beautiful lady entered.

As soon as she stepped inside, an oppressive aura was oozing out from her body. Her gaze was cold and seductive, but it didn't look vulgar or overly indifferent. On the contrary, it looked like she was looking down from a dais and while staring down at her subordinates.

As soon as Ran Xueyi entered the door, she was already acting. The villain of the story had taken over her body and was now the one who was moving towards the center of the stage.

"Please introduce yourself," a staff told her without looking at her.

Ran Xueyi nodded and said smoothly, "Hello, everyone. I am Ran Xueyi and I am here for the second leading role of the movie, Lin Yifei."

Once her voice landed, the room was filled with impregnable silence. The staff who told her to introduce herself to the directors felt that something was wrong and looked up.

The staff initially didn't look at the actress who entered the room, knowing that it was pointless to look at the actress who will leave disappointed anyway. However, she didn't expect that someone could still make everyone starstruck with just a glance!

Similarly to the staff who was left speechless after seeing Ran Xueyi, the directors couldn't stop staring at Ran Xueyi.

It wasn't just because she was standing in front of them as if she was a tycoon they couldn't ignore or offend. It was also because some of them didn't expect her appearance!

Why was Ran Xueyi here? Was she here to support her younger sister, Ran Yue?

But... They knew it wasn't the case.

After all, Ran Xueyi already told them what she came here for.

She wants the second lead role!

"You... you're really here to audition for the second lead role?" A producer asked.

Ran Xueyi looked at him straight in the eyes and nodded: "I am. Can I start the audition now?"

The directors looked at each other. Their disbelief and surprise could be seen from each other's eyes.

Who doesn't know Ran Xueyi? The only actress the directors has been battling to get to play a role in their production?

Six years ago, for as long as she mentioned the role she wanted, several directors would flock around her and reserve the role for her. Even if she didn't say anything nor contacted them, they will send the script over to her and even prayed for a miracle that she would pick their script and play in their production. Even just being part of the production team as a cameo was already considered being lucky.

However, the brightest star in the universe was stolen away, hidden from the masses, and could only be amongst the legends.

Now that she had come back, would they dare not want her?

The directors looked at each other and saw each other's reluctance. They wanted her to play the role, alright!

However...

Director Zhao narrowed his eyes and frowned when he saw the situation. He lowered his voice while saying: "Ran Xueyi... Didn't you already retire from being an actress? Before leaving six years ago, I heard that you were planning to get married to a wealthy young master from the Yang family..." He paused for a brief second to let his words sink in before adding to ask, "Does he know that you're here today?"
