    29: Audition (Part 2)

    Qiao Qiao didn’t know what to do at all. She didn’t dare to resist or struggle, and she didn’t understand the reason why Jian Baiyou insisted on her audition. She could feel the cold sweat on her back, one layer after another, and it couldn’t be stopped.

    Director Zhuang saw that her face was not very good, so he asked in a low voice with concern: “Are you okay?”

    “I’m fine…” Qiao Qiao forced a smile and then signaled to the staff that they could start.

    She stood in the middle of the audition stage, and the faces of the dozens of people below could not be clearly seen. Only Jian Baiyou had taken off his sunglasses, and his snow-green eyes were looking at her coldly from below.

    Jiang Li stood up. She took the opportunity to greet people and pretended to sit casually where Qiao Qiao was. She turned her head to look at Jian Baiyou and gave Jian Baiyou a sweet smile.

    Jian Baiyou lowered his eyes slightly to look at Jiang Li, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

    “The content of my audition is the seventeenth scene, the inner conflict scene when the heroine falls in love with the hero but is forced to kill him…”

    Qiao Qiao acted in front of the air. Although most auditions will arrange for a person to play with you, today’s obviously did not prepare such a person. Her partner was an illusory shadow she imagined. She was placed next to this man because of the mission, and then gradually fell in love with him, and was finally forced to kill him.

    “Actually, I haven’t told you a lot of things – will you be angry with me?” Qiao Qiao cried while reciting the lines. She was not because of the story or because she was involved in the drama. She was just simply scared. She felt that she was stepping on everything now.It’s not an audition stage, but a guillotine. The executioner is sitting in the crowd, reviewing his own performance and demeanor. He has his own set of standards. This set of standards is not public. Qiao Qiao can only guess and figure it out, carefully guarding against touching the opponent’s ‘thread’.

    She had never felt that her tears would be so many before, and they were falling down like they were free of money. It was probably because Jian Baiyou really made her feel great fear. While Qiao Qiao was acting, the bright red ring of the other party appeared in her mind. She even felt that the ring was dyed with her own blood.

    Jian Baiyou kept looking up at Qiao Qiao, and he looked at it very seriously.

    Until the end of the audition, Qiao Qiao didn’t stop crying. Director Zhuang couldn’t bear it and hurriedly handed her a packet of paper and patted Qiao Qiao on the shoulder with understanding: “You did a good job. Many actors will be like this after entering a play. Go back and have a good sleep and get out of the play quickly.”

    What am I doing because of this broken script!

    Qiao Qiao snorted, and suddenly there was applause. Qiao Qiao looked down and saw that it was Jiang Li who was applauding.

    She didn’t look at Qiao Qiao, but still turned to look at Jian Baiyou. She seemed very satisfied that she was now the focus of the audience. She clapped quite hard, and her clear voice echoed in the audition hall.

    “You’re acting very well, right, Mr. Jian?” Jiang Li slowly leaned towards Jian Baiyou, “My eye circles are red and my nose is sore.”

    “It’s very good.”

    “Wow, what a beautiful ring.” Jiang Li couldn’t help but exclaimed after seeing the red diamond ring on Jian Baiyou’s right hand. Girls are always attracted to these shiny things. She pretended to look down at the ring while vaguely revealing the deep ravine on her chest.

    “Do you like it?” Jian Baiyou turned his wrist, and he took off the ring and gently placed it in Jiang Li’s palm, “It’s for you.”

    There was a circle of exclamations around her, and Jiang Li was shocked and speechless, but was immediately surrounded by great joy. She looked around, and then at Qiao Qiao, who had just stepped off the stage. Her eyes were full of pride and pride. She put the ring on her left hand in an extremely exaggerated manner. Because the ring was slightly larger, she had to straighten her fingers to ensure that the ring would not slip off.

    The perfect cut ensures that every ray of light that shines in will be refracted without missing a beat. The bright red color is dotted in the center of the silver-white metal and is embedded by four small silver corners. It is beautiful and transparent.

    “Oh my God, Mr. Jian!” Jiang Li’s voice was soft, “This… this is so precious…”

    “It doesn’t matter.” Jian Baiyou stood up, adjusted his collar, and said gently, “After all, you like it.”

    He glanced at Qiao Qiao, then turned and walked out.

    “Mr. Jian!” Jiang Li shouted sweetly at Jian Baiyou’s back, “I live in a small villa group in the city center. The house number is 243!”

    The man’s footsteps paused, and he seemed to smile: “I will go find you.”

    The door of the audition hall was closed again, and the female artists suddenly exploded.

    Jiang Li has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone’s attention. Even if she can’t wear the ring at all, she still stubbornly hangs it on her finger. She is proud of it. She made a beautiful comeback this afternoon. Look, wasn’t the so-called Jian Baiyou also captured by her?Even if he sat next to a little-known er… called Qiao Qiao on the 18th line at first, wasn’t he the one who stayed in the end?Moreover, he gave himself such an expensive gift without blinking an eye – any colored diamond, which one is not priceless?Those above 3 carats are collectors’ items, and those above 5 carats have their own names. The one I have now is at least 7 or 8 carats.

    The other female artists around them gritted their teeth bitterly, thinking that if they just exposed their breasts and were bolder, they could get such a diamond ring. How could they have jumped on it in the first place? It was only because of the influence of rumors that Jian Baiyou was said to be a dangerous person, but now it seems that he is just a gentle and good gentleman.

    “Qiao Qiao?” Jiang Li smiled happily at Qiao Qiao. She seemed to regard herself as Jian Baiyou’s possession. She showed the ring on her hand to Qiao Qiao and said warmly, “I’m really embarrassed today. Don’t blame me.”

    Several people looked in the direction of Qiao Qiao, with more or less pity and regret in their eyes.In their view, Qiao Qiao, who was deprived of his financial support by Jiang Li, was pitiable.

    Qiao Qiao finally stopped crying. She was sitting on a lonely chair by herself. She didn’t react at all when she heard Jiang Li’s words about holding a gun and a stick.

    To be honest, she really wanted to burn incense for Jiang Li now.

    “Not to mention Miss Jiang, this is also the first time I have seen the current ‘No. 1’ on the overall list. She is truly worthy of her reputation…” A short-haired female artist patted her chest, “My mind went blank for thirty minutes. I didn’t even hear what others were saying to me.”

    “She is indeed so good-looking…how can a person be like that?”

    “But actually, I think Mr. Jian, Mr. Jian, is a bit frighteningly beautiful -” a round-faced girl whispered, “I felt chills running down my spine after looking at it for a while…”

    Very good, girl, you finally see a little bit of the essence through the phenomenon…

    Qiao Qiao thought secretly.

    “Thank you very much for your participation today.” Director Zhuang stood on the stage and picked up the microphone again. “Our director team will discuss and decide your audition scores and select the best. Please go back and wait for notification. We will definitely call you next Monday at the latest – Oh, ladies, please make sure to check whether the reserved phone number is correct. We want to ensure that we can contact you personally.”

    “Just say it and it’s over.” Jiang Li sat on the chair awkwardly, biting her fingernails, “Anyway, everyone probably knows who it is.”

    After she finished speaking, she glanced at the people behind her, and several female artists laughed in unison.

    After what happened just now, anyone with a discerning eye can see who is on the rise. Even if they don’t intend to curry favor, it is always beneficial and harmless to release a little signal of “submission” at this time.

    As soon as Qiao Qiao heard that he could leave, he packed up his things, quickly packed his bag and left.

    She didn’t dare to go back to repair her home, and she needed time to straighten her thoughts, so she took the elevator to the first floor. The lobby of WAWA headquarters was still crowded with people. Qiao Qiao chose an empty wicker chair in the tea lounge area and sat down, rubbing his face tiredly.

    She thought that although she was not smart, she was still very alert to danger signs. She recalled the few conversations that Jian Baiyou had with her before. At that time, Jian Baiyou was quite gentle and polite to Qiao Qiao, without too many emotions, not warm, not cold. She just regarded Qiao Qiao as an insignificant role and a dispensable passerby around her. She even paid more attention to her because she was staying with Cheng Xiu temporarily – of course, only a little.

    But today Jian Baiyou really wanted to do something, but for some unknown reason, he finally stopped.

    Is it really because of Cheng Xiu?

    Qiao Qiao thought this was incredible. Just because the coffee he usually drank tasted bad, he would kill his subordinate tenants… Is this the logic of a normal person?Besides, how does he know that the change in the taste of the coffee has something to do with him?Say, maybe Cheng Xiu is in a bad mood recently?It’s not surprising that you suddenly suffer from depression after living in a room like that every day——

    “Stop…” Qiao Qiao whispered to himself, “Don’t worry about the cause, think about the solution now.”

    But she really couldn’t figure out Jian Baiyou’s temper…

    Qiao Qiao now has two heads. Seeing that it was almost time for WAWA to get off work, she thought she might as well go out for a walk, or go to the police station to register… If something happened to her in the future, she could leave a clue to the police…

    But what if she wrote down the suspect’s name as Jian Baiyou?Would the justice system be useful to such a person?

    Or does he care?
