Chapter 326: 342-344, hey, boy, you’ve gone into the wrong room.
This man, just walked out from the interview hall, is none other than Shen Yunqing.
Actually, there are two compartnts in the interview hall, only separated by a huge glass wall.
Usually, people would think that it’s just an ordinary glass wall, but there’s a twist on the other side.
The people on that side of the wall… can clearly see everything that’s happening inside the hall.
When Quentin was being interviewed, Shen Yunqing was sitting leisurely on an executive chair on the other side of the wall, enjoying the spectacle.
Since big brother entrusted him with the power to handle things here, he at least had to lend a hand in strategizing and pick out the most satisfactory candidate, right?
However, the previous few were so boring that Shen Yunqing felt like taking a breather.
Just as he walked to the restroom door, he heard a woman’s low muttering inside, complaining about how even the dress was conspiring against her!
That voice was so familiar it shot straight into Shen Yunqing’s ears.
Little Chili?
At that mont, Shen Yunqing’s feet uncontrollably moved towards the inside.
As he entered, he saw her with half of her hair tied up.
Unfortunately, a strand of hair got caught in the zipper, and as she tilted her head, twisting her hands to pull it open, she was getting nowhere.
“Could you please help with the zipper?”
Because she was a bit anxious, Tong Xi didn’t think much of it and didn’t look back at the person behind her.
With her back turned, Tong Xi felt that person standing right behind her.
Those hands were nimble, and the movents gentle; very soon, the spot caught by the zipper was loosened, and that hand slowly pulled the zipper down.
All of a sudden, Tong Xi felt… sothing was amiss!
She turned around sharply, to her utter surprise.
Fricking hell, who was that? It was that haunting face again!
“Why is it you again?”
Tong Xi was completely in a state of seeing a ghost.
At this mont, Shen Yunqing’s gaze drifted downward.
Tong Xi hurriedly reached for her dress.
“Pervert!”
As she spoke, she suddenly lifted her foot, clad in high heels, kicking towards Shen Yunqing.
Fortunately, Shen Yunqing had quick reflexes, stepping back just in ti to dodge Tong Xi’s kick.
Good lord… those high heels are so sharp; if she really got kicked by her, he might have genuinely been crippled!
“That harsh? I just helped you out, and you repay kindness with enmity?”
Shen Yunqing’s face showed a very hurt expression.
Tong Xi glared at him fiercely.
“Open your eyes and see clearly, this is the ladies’ restroom!”
Shen Yufeng snorted, “So what? Just because you can go into the n’s restroom, doesn’t an I can’t enter the ladies’ restroom?”
“You!”
Tong Xi wanted to retort, but realized what he said was indeed true. She had no coback, so she could only say bitterly, “Shaless!”
Shen Yunqing, however, responded with a smile: “Takes one to know one!”
Tong Xi: “…”
She’s seen shaless before, but never soone as shaless as him.
“Get out, I need to change! If you don’t leave now, I’m going to call for help!”
Shen Yunqing narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharpening.
This Little Chili really thinks she can stir up trouble on his turf, huh?
But the fact that she’s here…
Suddenly, Shen Yunqing realized sothing. Could it be that she’s also here for the perfu ad audition?
“Aren’t you leaving yet!”
Tong Xi saw him sticking around and got annoyed.
Naturally, Shen Yunqing could also see Tong Xi’s discomfort.
Actually, seeing her frustrated like this brought an unexpected sense of satisfaction to Shen Yunqing’s heart.
“Hey, I just helped you out; I should get so sort of benefit, right?”
Tong Xi glared at him.
This jerk, still wanting to reap benefits from her?
“Co on over, see if I don’t beat you up?”
Shen Yunqing chuckled, “Tsk tsk, such violence, careful you don’t end up unmarriageable in the future!”
As soon as these words ca out, Tong Xi imdiately got infuriated.
“Cut it out, it’s none of your business! Who do you think you are? Even if all the n in the world died, I wouldn’t marry you!”
Shen Yunqing took a deep breath.
Tsk tsk, this little lady in front of him, truly a sharp-tongued little wild cat!
“Little Chili, don’t speak too soon! Take your ti changing your clothes. We shall et again!”

Tong Xi finished changing her clothes, then washed her face, removing all the makeup, and returned to the waiting area.
By that ti, the audition was more than halfway done.
“Yunqing!”
Tong Xi greeted He Yunzhi, who nodded in acknowledgnt. However, seeing Tong Xi having removed her makeup, she couldn’t help being taken aback.
“Tong Xi, you…”
Tong Xi smiled and joked, “Don’t be mad, Yunqing. Maybe Director Quentin, being used to the rich and fancy, will find our simple and plain looks refreshing!”
He Yunzhi sighed helplessly.
This glib-talking girl is starting to crack jokes!
“Right now, the ones with the best chances are probably Tian Yaru and Zi Xun. You didn’t see it, but several girls got scolded to tears!”
Tong Xi raised her eyebrows. Was Director Quentin truly that fierce, or was it just that those few perford too poorly?
But that was all irrelevant to her. Tong Xi put on her hat and sat down to rest with her eyes closed.
There was whispering around.
“Could it be that she’s going into the audition dressed like that? That’s way too casual!”
“Hey, to put it bluntly, she’s just here to make up the numbers, cannon fodder. She knows she won’t be chosen, so she’s dressing like that to save face!”
“…”
Tong Xi heard their comnts, but ignored them as if she had heard nothing.
In this day and age, people in the entertainnt industry loved to praise or belittle others, so why should she take it seriously?
If she took every word of theirs to heart, wouldn’t that just suffocate her with frustration?
Finally…
“Number twenty-six!”
It was her turn to enter. The mont Tong Xi stood up, Tian Yaru, who was resting on the side, was montarily startled, and a dismissive smile crossed Ren Ying’s face.
“Yaru, did you see that? The one in the camouflage is the little actress brought by He Yunzhi. Tsk tsk, I can’t imagine what luck she had to pass the preliminary round! But in such a setting, she’s too casual! Just based on her current look, if I were the director, I’d definitely send her out without a second word!”
Tian Yaru watched Tong Xi’s spirited silhouette and her beautiful eyebrows knit slightly, a trace of worry flickering in her eyes.
“Yingying, don’t you feel that girl has a powerful aura?”
Ren Ying laughed, “Impossible. How could that minor character be a match for you?”
Tian Yaru shook her head, “You don’t understand. I’ve seen the movie ‘Jiuzhou Chaos,’ and the role Tong Xi played there was really impressive!”
In fact, by using the term “impressive,” Tian Yaru was being modest. To tell the truth, the scene where Tong Xi played Ling’er falling off a cliff was… truly shocking.
Unexpectedly, an unknown small-ti actress possessed such profound and skillful acting talent.
“Oh please, Yaru, don’t boost others’ morale and undermine your own presence! It’s just a newcor, why worry? Let’s just wait for the good news at the end!”
Ren Ying was timing carefully. Zi Xun spent half a minute less inside than Tian Yaru.
Normally, half a minute would not an much, but in this context, half a minute… could be the deciding factor of victory or defeat.
Actually, when Zi Xun ca out just now, although her face still bore a brilliant smile, there was a touch of unwillingness in her eyes.
Therefore, this advertising endorsent was as good as won by Tian Yaru.

When Tong Xi, dressed in camouflage and wearing a baseball cap, entered the audition hall, Shen Yunqing, who was sitting behind the glass wall, looked at the familiar face and figure and his lips curled up into a knowing smile.
Little Chili, it’s really you!
Director Quentin was taken aback upon seeing Tong Xi.
“Hey, boy, you walked into the wrong room.”
Tong Xi looked up, her eyes twinkling like stars in the dark night beneath the baseball cap, dazzling and enchanting yet clear and bright. Her handso little face had lips that were slightly pursed, showing a faint detachnt, yet they carried the unique charm of her gaze.
It was an inherent seductiveness, but under the contrast of the camouflage attire, it also exuded a robust heroic spirit, making her entire aura quite distinct.
Tong Xi bowed to Quentin.
“Hello, Director. I’m number twenty-six, Tong Xi!”
At that mont, Quentin realized that the boy in front of him was actually a girl!
Quentin had already interviewed more than twenty won, half of which were Asian, and the rest were Western stars and models.
Since this perfu was nad “Romance,” the ad was mainly targeting the Eastern market, following a pure and innocent love the, hence the selection criteria for the female lead tilted towards those with a pure, refined temperant. Those who were overly sexy and seductive were excluded.
The Western stars and models were too mature and flashy, which didn’t match the essence of the perfu. Tian Yaru, dressed in a qipao, caught the eye, and her elegant deanor, combined with her skillful guzheng playing, scored her extra points as well.
Quentin had already made an internal decision that Tian Yaru would be the female lead for this advertisent.
Among the first twenty-five candidates of the interview, Tian Yaru seed to be the most in line with his expectations from various aspects.
However, Tong Xi’s appearance provided Quentin with a different impression.
