Chapter 1885 - You Cant (1/2)
“That’s right,” a male actor behind Wu Jingli chipped in. “She doesn’t even know what level she’s in, yet she’s claiming to be a rookie and posturing herself lowly, all on top of coming early and studying every day. What a good act she puts on. If she really felt she was a rookie, she wouldn’t have snapped up this important role!”
“Just this point alone highlights how she’s so thick-skinned. It’s useless no matter how she acts humble. She doesn’t have the skill yet likes to steal roles,” another follower, Xu Yuting, said.
Wu Jingli’s face was dark. “I shall see how bad she acts later on.”
“Even though her acting is surely bad, Teacher, you’ll still have to act opposite her and help her get in character. It’s so unfair!” Sun Xiutong goaded.
Were they really speaking up for Wu Jingli?
Obviously not!
They were just green-eyed.
They were around the same age, but because of Han Zhuoli, Lu Man could pick and choose any roles.
Meanwhile, until now, they could only tag behind Wu Jingli, cozying up and currying favor with her, and only acting in minor roles nobody remembers and earning a salary that’s barely enough to survive in B City.
Such unfairness, how could they not be envious?
But because they knew of her privileged background, they didn’t dare make trouble for her outright and instigated Wu Jingli instead.
Did Wu Jingli not know Lu Man’s background?
Of course she did.
But Lu Man had infringed unto her interests, and Wu Jingli was determined to fight for it as long as she didn’t threaten her own interest.
Wu Jingli and the three approached Lu Man.
“Teacher Wu,” Lu Man greeted automatically.
Wu Jingli gave a half-hearted smile and said, “The first scene seems to be ours.”
