Chapter 186: Queuing for Auditions, Amazing Everyone
The man stopped talking and continued driving, soon stopping in front of a shopping mall.
Cui Mengmeng looked up and was stunned. Wasn't this Yuhua Mall? Young Master Mo had brought her and Luo Xiyao here before.
"Go inside and pick out an outfit for the audition." After getting out of the car, the man glanced at the two girls behind Ning Yao and added.
"You all, pick out a set to change into too."
He stepped into the mall first, and the three women were stunned. But Ning Yao quickly realized that they had to rush to the audition, so they followed him into the mall and focused on picking out dresses suitable for the audition from the women's clothing brand stores.
Ning Yao chose a moon-white long dress with a hollowed-out lace design at the neckline of the upper body and a skirt on the lower body. Paired with the bag that the sales assistant picked out for her, she looked like a gentle and virtuous young woman, charming yet innocent and touching. Her fox-like eyes revealed a cleverness, and she was intelligent and cunning, making her very suitable for the role of a heroine in a marriage and romance.
This outfit suited her perfectly, so she put it on and quickly placed her order.
When it came time to pay, Ning Yao suddenly looked embarrassed. Because she had rushed out, she hadn't brought her card, and the money in her phone wasn't enough to pay for the dress.
The man noticed and quickly stepped forward to pay for the clothes Ning Yao had chosen, also buying the bag that went with the dress.
Ning Yao had no choice but to accept the man's gift for now, and she would return it to him later when she had the chance, since he was her son's friend anyway.
The saleswoman's eyes lit up when she saw the man's impressive appearance and the fact that he had a black and gold VIP card with no spending limit. She knew he was a big customer and naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to sell him merchandise and earn commission. So she started pushing him hard to sell matching high heels, necklaces, accessories, and so on.
Ning Yao felt embarrassed to ask for so much, so she immediately stopped the enthusiastic saleswoman and said with a smile, "Just a pair of high heels, nothing else. I'm in a hurry, thank you."
The color and style of the high heels didn't match her dress, and they were also dirty, so Ning Yao had no choice but to change her shoes.
After paying, the man bought all the items the saleswoman had recommended, ordered them to be packed, and then picked up a pen to write down an address.
"Send it to this address." The man's voice still had a youthful quality, sounding clean and pleasant, but it carried a coldness that made one hesitant to disrespect him.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were too embarrassed to choose, and the man didn't force them. After paying, they prepared to go back to the car to be Ning Yao's driver.
"What's your name?" Ning Yao asked in a calm voice. "I'll have Moran return this money to you later."
“I’ll go ask him for it myself, you don’t need to worry about it. I’ll take you there.” After saying that, the man got into the car.
Cui Mengmeng stared at the man with hearts in her eyes. He was so handsome! He was quiet but strong, and she was very satisfied with his height and looks!
This is her next crush, and she must find out his name and background!
Ning Yao is amazing. All the handsome guys are eager to protect her and buy her this and that. They all look like loyal dogs who don't ask for anything in return.
I'm so envious, so jealous, but mostly I'm secretly thrilled!
If I were in that situation, I probably wouldn't be able to handle it. Only Ning Yao could withstand the handsome guy's fierce offensive!
The sports car quickly drove away from the mall, and the man took a shortcut, delivering the person to the audition base on time.
"Goodbye." The man said this while looking at Ning Yao, his tone unusually low.
Before Ning Yao could ask any further questions, the man drove off, leaving behind only a trail of crisp exhaust fumes.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were incredibly curious about where this handsome guy had come from.
"I don't know, it was the first time I met him." Ning Yao paused, then realized she was wrong.
This isn't the first time; it's the second.
Previously, this boy had even disregarded gentlemanly conduct and ruthlessly dragged several gossiping girls to apologize to her.
This temper is somewhat similar to some other people's.
Ning Yao pouted, not having time to think further, and quickly led her two roommates into the audition center to get a number.
There were many people auditioning, most of whom were dressed up carefully, and there were so many beautiful women that it was dazzling.
Xin Yujue felt even more inferior. She knew she would have to put in a lot of effort to make a name for herself in such a prestigious industry.
Sensing Xin Yujue's thoughts, Ning Yao silently leaned close to her ear and praised her.
"Don't look at other people's appearances. You have your own advantages. You fit the aesthetic standards of the older generation."
Xin Yujue smiled and accepted Ning Yao's kindness, but didn't really take Ning Yao's words to heart.
Ning Yao got two numbers, and also got one for Cui Mengmeng, just to let her practice and experience the audition process.
At first, Cui Mengmeng was a little resistant, but then she thought, since she was already here, she might as well give it a try and treat it as a test of her courage.
There were many people in line. Cui Mengmeng's number was two after Ning Yao's. The number was just the order of the queue and did not have a name on it.
Cui Mengmeng thought for a moment, then handed her number to Ning Yao and said with a smile, "I'll go in and scout things out for you first, so you'll have more confidence."
Xin Yujue chimed in, agreeing that Cui Mengmeng's suggestion was good; it would be wise for someone to go in and scout ahead first.
Ning Yao didn't refuse. It was better to be cautious. This time, she had to get the role and would never let Miao Yuliu succeed. She wanted to avenge Xin Yujue.
Time passed quickly, and the number of people in line decreased one by one. Soon it was Cui Mengmeng's turn.
Ning Yao and Xin Yujue waited at the door. Ning Yao looked calm, but Xin Yujue was a little nervous, her palms sweating profusely.
"Are you very nervous? Do you need to go to the restroom or something? I'll hold the spot for you," Xin Yujue asked Ning Yao gently.
"No need, I'm not nervous." Ning Yao patted Xin Yujue's hand reassuringly.
When Cui Mengmeng came out, she was covered in cold sweat. It was the first time she had experienced such a cruel selection process as an audition.
Judging from the line of people outside, there must be at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, candidates.
Ultimately, only one person could be selected from among them, which shows how difficult it was.
"So, what did they ask? What should we be careful about?" Xin Yujue asked hurriedly.
"They didn't ask me anything, just looked at me, asked me to do a few acting moves, and asked me to react to some scenes." Cui Mengmeng carefully recalled and recounted her experiences.
"There were four people in charge inside, including Director Guo. When I saw him, my legs were shaking. He was so serious. I didn't see him smile once from beginning to end. His eyes seemed to see right through you. He was incredibly piercing..."
As Cui Mengmeng spoke, she patted her chest, seemingly still shaken.
"Have some water and take a rest." Ning Yao chuckled as she handed Cui Mengmeng a bottle of mineral water and unscrewed the cap for her.
"Wow, Yao Yao, you're so boyfriend material!" Cui Mengmeng chuckled as she looked at the unscrewed bottle of mineral water.
