Chapter 56: Wishing You Luck!

“How did you manage to land this role?” asked Zhao Hongling in a doubtful tone.

Based on Lin Yan’s acting portfolio, she shouldn’t even have qualified for the audition.

Lin Yan replied helplessly, “I’ll be honest. I got this role accidentally…”

Zhao Hongling was speechless. “Your luck is indeed good.”

After all, it was a supporting role, so she could really have gotten it by getting lucky.

“Anyway, remember what I said earlier. It’s the only way to save your life.” Zhao Hongling nagged her once again.

“Got it. I’ll be mindful.” As Lin Yan heard her reminders, warmth crept all over her heart. She couldn’t help but blurt out, “Sister Ling, thank you! I really can’t thank you enough… I didn’t believe that you would still call me…”

Zhao Hongling quipped, “Don’t read too much into this. I have groomed many artists ever since I started doing this job. You’re the only blot on my resume. I merely wanted to erase it.”

Lin Yan choked on her words. “Oh…”

After Zhao Hongling hung up, Lin Yan lay down on the couch, looking as though there was nothing meaningful in her life anymore.

Wang Jingyang, who had overheard the entire conversation, patted her shoulders in a sympathetic manner. “You must be the first person in history who rallied all the female fans in the entertainment industry against you. I have no idea what I’m supposed to say. Except… I wish you luck!”

Lin Yan, who suddenly thought of something, straightened up and sat up anxiously. She peered intently at Wang Jingyang. “Don’t just wish me luck! I need your help!”

“What kind of help do you need?”

“I definitely can’t go out right now. Can I trouble you to buy some stuff for me?”

“I can help you get your daily necessities. Why do you have to stare at me in such a scary manner?” Wang Jingyang rubbed his palms together.

Lin Yan shook her head. “No, no. I don’t want daily necessities. I need… a peach wooden sword… copper coins… and a divine trigram to ward off evil. Oh yeah! I also need garlic! Buy some of that…”
