17 The Candid Boss (1/2)
He, An Qiao, had successfully groomed so many famous actors and actresses, stars and starlets. To think he had handpicked a fool this time around!
Since he had already reached this step, even if he regretted his decision now, he could only brace himself for the worst.
Reaching the lounge, he knocked a few times.
”Come in.”
Lin Wanwan's eyebrows converged at the lazy voice that traveled from within the room.
It was Tang Chen.
An Qiao pushed the door open and dragged Lin Wanwan in. ”Boss, look at her. This is who I… have selected for the role.”
”Lin's second daughter?”
Tang Chen, who was seated at the burgundy sofa, cozily placed both legs on the table. As he held his chin with one hand, his other hand was wrapped around a voluptuous woman. He playfully eyed Lin Wanwan, who looked timid.
Suddenly, he laughed. ”An Qiao, I believe in your judgment. However, do you really think that a giant baby whose IQ remains that of a six-year-old will be able to play the role of such a deep character well?”
An Qiao felt sorrowful but forced a smile and said, ”Let's try.”
”Ok.” Tang Chen patted the waist of the voluptuous woman and said, ”Bring out what you have learned as a top student in the Imperial Capital Film Academy. If you lose to her, don't blame me… if I give you the cold shoulder in future.”
His smile was carefree yet evil. His eyes shone with a cold glow.
The woman jerked her body and confidently lifted her chin. ”I will not lose.”
If she could not even defeat a fool, she, Bai Yao, could be said to have wasted her years in acting.
Tang Chen looked at Lin Wanwan, who seemed to be in a daze. Without any clear meaning, he squinted his eyes and said, ”Whoever acts better will get the role. Who will go first?”
Bai Yao shouted, ”Me!”
An Qiao handed the scripts over to them separately. He lowered his voice and said to Lin Wanwan, ”I'm sorry. I didn't expect someone else to be here. This second female lead is a village farmer's daughter whose temperament is good and whose character is pure. That's why I picked you at first sight.”
Too bad he had picked someone who was lacking.
