Lu Jingzhi, who had already put on a black suit, bent over to look at the screen of the laptop that Jiang Yuning had just turned on. He frowned as he saw all the comments that had been posted about her.
Jiang Yuning had just requested Ku Jie to assign the young paparazzo as her personal assistant when she almost hit Lu Jingzhi on the chin as she was about to turn around.
“Why haven’t you left for work yet?” Jiang Yuning asked as she subconsciously turned off the laptop because she did not want Lu Jingzhi to worry about her.
“I am leaving now,” Lu Jingzhi said as he stood up and patted Jiang Yuning gently on her head. “I have already prepared four bodyguards to accompany and protect you when you attend your audition today.”
Jiang Yuning stood up and hugged Lu Jingzhi tightly as soon as she heard those words. “Give me some energy and luck for today.”
“Your brother is right. You just have to do your part and not worry about anything else because we will always have your back, okay?”
Jiang Yuning nodded her head before kissing Lu Jingzhi on the lips. “I know what I have to do now.”
“Okay!” Jiang Yuning answered with a smile on her face.
In fact, none of the staff in Guangying Media could understand why Jiang Yuning would be invited to participate in the audition after all the trouble and scandal that she was involved with Huo Yuxi and Lu Zongye had been shared all over the internet. It was really annoying. As they reflected upon her previous performances in all the films and dramas that she had appeared on in the past, the judges overseeing the audition merely wanted to get through with her audition as a formality as soon as possible.
Jiang Yuning entered the audition room and she could see several high-level officers and investors of Guangying Media seated before her.
“You can choose to act out any scene for the character that you are auditioning for,” one of the Guangying Media staff suddenly instructed her.
Jiang Yuning calmed herself down and she did not feel that stressed out because she knew that the judges seated before her were probably not interested in her audition at all.
Qin Tong was a tragic character. The first half of her life was bright while the second half was depressing and finally, there was a moment of redemption in her life.
Jiang Yuning eventually chose to act out a scene where Qin Tong knelt down beside her ill father’s bedside after discovering the fact that her father had sold off his own kidney to repay her debts.
She knelt down on the ground and then reached out a hand as though she was holding onto her father’s hand. She then rubbed her father’s hand gently against her face. The blood vessels on her hand were popping out as she cried out, “Dad, why did you do that? Why?”
Then, Jiang Yuning slapped herself in the face and said, “I will buy your kidney back now!”
Jiang Yuning tried to stand up but she staggered as though she was in shock and was too weak to stand. Jiang Yuning did not turn around but continued crying instead, as though she was so upset and in so much pain.
This was one of the only times where the character, who usually dared to love and hate, showed this weak side of herself.
Initially, the judges of the audition thought that they would be witnessing a very awkward, exaggerated, and unprofessional performance from Jiang Yuning and had never expected her to perform way beyond their expectations.
