“The company has already resolved the matter with the producers of 《City-Toppling》 but the compensation will be deducted from your paycheck.” Tang Yin paused before continuing with slight doubts, “The script was really bad.

Why did you go and accept a role there”

Shi Sheng shrugged.

“Milan arranged it.

Im just a starlet whos barely reached the 18th rank, where would I get the qualifications to disagree with a gold-level agent”

Hearing her words, Tang Yin got even more curious about this actress who had recommended herself to him.

Ever since he had taken over her management, the company had given him a stand-alone office.

Even all the good resources and opportunities were given to him.

To him who had still been a newbie without any actors under his wing, this was pretty much a pie that fell out of the sky.

For some reason, he felt like he had been conned into something.

Suppressing that feeling, Tang Yin handed over three scripts to Shi Sheng.

“These are the ones left over after I screened them.”

Shi Sheng simply looked at their names before picking one out.

“This one.”

Tang Yin didnt object.

These three books were those he had selected out.

No matter which she picked, it wouldnt be too bad.

The one Shi Sheng picked was a Xianxia drama.

Its setting was in a cultivation world.

The cultivation sectProfound Sect had been massacred, leaving the sole survivor, Qing Yan.

He was rescued by a peach blossom that had managed to cultivate into a spirit.

Together, the two embarked on a quest to uncover the truth behind the slaughter of theProfound Sect.

This was a drama adapted from a novel and was one of the more famous Xianxia novels in the recent year.

Shi Sheng wasnt planning to audition for the female lead, the peach blossom spirit, but instead the second supporting female lead.

This character had a pretty good background but her ending wasnt too good.

“Do you have any confidence” Tang Yin asked uncertainly.

He had seen the shows she had acted in and concluded that her acting skills werent that good.

However, in this drama, the second supporting female lead was an extremely important character.

In the early stages, she was mischievous and lively but in the later stages, her character would undergo a dark transformation.

She would become cold-blooded and ruthless.

With two polar opposite personalities to be acted out in one character, it wasnt easy to act out.

He had originally had his eye on the supporting female lead role- Though, with her qualifications she might not be able to land it…

However, who would have expected her to pick the second supporting female lead role Shi Sheng shut the script before revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

“Well know once we try.”

Tang Yin looked at her deeply before bringing her upstairs to the floor where the auditions were held.

When the elevator door opened, they came face-to-face with Milan who was bringing a young and pretty girl with her.

Milan looked at Shi Sheng with disgust and even more discontent and hatred. ‘Im a gold-level agent but she actually didnt want to follow me and instead went to follow a newbie who had just entered the company.

Isnt this outright slapping me in the face

Of course, the greater part of the reason she was unhappy was that support team.

“Milan-jie.” Tang Yin gave a relatively polite greeting.

When his gaze swept over that girl, it darkened a few shades.

Milan gave a slight nod and gave a standard smile.

Sometimes, especially like right now, the outward appearance of civility still had to be kept.

Milan hadnt spoken yet when the girl behind her spoke first in a taunting voice, “Jiang Wan is coming for an audition too Which role are you auditioning for Why dont we get Milan-jie to help you consider your options After all, we cant delay our futures.”

She gave a pointed glance at Tang Yin.

“I wouldnt dream of bothering Milan-jie, Im afraid my future would become the dust on someone elses road to success[1].” Shi Shengs eyes curved into crescents as she answered in a light, soft and pleasant voice.

Her thoughts though, were, ‘What considerations! You want to help me consider how fitting I am for a maid role!

Milan wrinkled her brow as she shot a sharp warning gaze at Shi Sheng.

The girl obviously heard the underlying meaning in her words for she spoke with acrimony, “What do you mean by that Jiang Wan At least Milan-jie has carried you before… Well, I guess you were from the backwaters.

You dont even know basic courtesy.

The saying that birds of a feather flock together is true after all.”

Towards the end her tone was filled with ridicule, especially that last sentence.

Shi Sheng secretly took a look at Tang Yin.

Though his face hadnt changed, the hands by his side had clenched into fists.

“En.

When I followed Milan-jie before, its all thanks to her care.” Hearing Shi Sheng say this, Milans expression improved though when she heard Shi Sheng complete her words, her face turned green.

“In the past, I was not sensible enough.

Choosing to follow Milan-jie proved that my eyesight wasnt that good.

But you guys can rest assured now, I have already changed for the better.

My eyesight has improved too so Ill definitely be able to pick a good person.” That tone was clearly very apologetic yet it made people feel mocked.

Changed for the better… can the phrase even be used like that It was as if they had committed a crime or something.

“Jiang Wan!” The girl pointed her finger at Shi Sheng, enraged to the point of trembling.

“What do you want Chatting with me is very expensive but seeing as how were in the same company Ill give you a discount…”

“Enough.

You still have an ad shoot, dont waste time with irrelevant people.” Milan interrupted Shi Shengs words and glared at her.

“Jiang Wan, you cant be too arrogant.

This world is more complicated than you think.”

‘If I(bbb) got really arrogant, youd be **ing lying on the ground right now!

Shi Sheng smiled but did not speak or give any reply.

When Milan looked at that smile she felt the hairs on her back stand on end.

The person in front of her clearly hadnt changed but she felt like she had.

‘Shes just a little brat, what can she do With my contacts, I could place obstacles in secret and make her unable to remain in this circle any longer.

Thinking of this, Milan felt a bit better.

She gave a light harrumph before walking towards the lift.

When the girl on high-heels walked past the two, she deliberately collided into Tang Yin, causing him to retreat a couple of steps.

“Just you wait!”

When the lift door closed, Shi Sheng looked smilingly at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin pushed up his glasses.

“Sorry.”

He had failed as an agent when he let the actress under his care be bullied by someone else.

“Now that I think about it, that girls surname was Tang too.” She could clearly feel the enmity coming from that girl.

And Tang Yins reaction wasnt quite right either.

Tang Yins body stiffened as panic and embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

Shi Sheng hadnt had time to see it clearly when she heard Systems voice ring out suddenly.

[Random Quest encountered.

Do you wish to accept it]

‘There are random quests too Fuck no, I refuse to do it.

I havent even finished a single one of the main quests yet!

Shi Sheng thought System would force her to accept it but it didnt speak up after she rejected it. ‘It seems like random quests arent that important…

“Lets go.” Having been interrupted by System, Shi Sheng was too lazy to continue questioning Tang Yin.

Tang Yin couldnt help but let out a sigh of relief.

His gaze when he looked at Shi Sheng had changed though.

She wasnt the same as the Jiang Wan from the information he had been given.

At least, in their few days of interacting with each other, he hadnt seen a hint of self-consciousness or timidity.

There were quite a few people in the audition hall already.

Tang Yin went to get a queue number before accompanying her in waiting.

There were quite a few people who had come to audition.

There were those who had an agent accompanying them who were discussing with said agents in low voices.

There were also those who didnt have an agent and so could only sit nervously at the side, their faces filled with apprehension as well as hope and expectations for the future.

However, every single one that went in came out in a depressed slump.

There were some who even ran away crying.

Shi Sheng, however, just sat there like she owned the place, not a hint of nervousness or apprehension to be seen.

She wasnt even reading the script, instead just staring at a girl opposite her.

That girl shifted a bit uncomfortably under Shi Shengs gaze but she discovered that the person opposite her wasnt looking at her but gazing off into space and had just so happened to fix her eyes on that spot.

[1] Theres actually some wordplay going on here.

The raws say我怕前程變成前塵.

‘前程means future and is pronouncedqian2cheng2 while前塵, pronouncedqian2chen2, literally means dust in front, which could refer to the dust on someone elses road to – in this context – fame.

They sound similar so its wordplay.

Authors note:

Lalala, begging for votes over here~

Translators Corner:

***MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD***

*Take a good long look at that random quest notification.

Because it never turns up again.*

**Also I think I keep seeing Shi Shengs past pop up everywhere now that I am re-reading… again.**
