Chapter 384: Scheme

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the exam ended, Wen Nian felt a bit uneasy, especially seeing other candidates around her all dressed up, clearly well-prepared. Some even brought cellos and drum sets. She began to feel increasingly uncertain.

Looking down at her own clothes, Wen Nian took a deep breath. After all, Gu Cheng was the future leading star; perhaps this outfit would bring her good luck.

However, when she returned to the place where she left her bag, Gu Cheng was nowhere to be found.

Huang Yue had already changed into an elegant, high-end beaded dress, and her makeup was exquisite.

She walked slowly to Wen Nian and said with a smile, “Long time no see. Didn’t expect to meet you here.”

But Wen Nian didn’t say much to her and tried to leave.

The few people at the side also began to whisper when they saw the situation. In other words, it was true that Wen Nian and Huang Yue didn’t get along.

Huang Yue, knowing the importance of popularity in the entertainment industry, suppressed her frustration and continued, “Are you looking for the boy from earlier? It seems he’s already gone.”

Wen Nian then turned her attention to Huang Yue and was surprised to find that, at some point, Huang Yue had gotten European-style double eyelids. Her eyes seemed unnaturally large, and it appeared she might have had some nose work done as well.

In her previous life, Huang Yue kept tricking her into undergoing plastic surgery. She did not expect Huang Yue to undergo plastic surgery in this life. What goes around comes around!

Wen Nian smiled and said, “Well, thank you. Your double eyelids are beautifully done.”

Hearing the compliment, Huang Yue felt delighted. “Really? It’s just a minor adjustment. Many people in the entertainment industry do it. Besides, my eyes were already large.”

Wen Nian coldly snorted internally but continued, “Indeed, that’s true. But about your nose…”

She deliberately dragged out her words. Huang Yue looked at her anxiously before she walked over and whispered, “I told you before that your nose isn’t sharp enough. Look at the female celebrities these days. Which one of them doesn’t have a tall nose? And your face is too round.”

Huang Yue glanced at the girls beside her. Almost all of them had naturally oval faces and sharp chins.

“Look at your competitors around you. Any round faces?” Wen Nian pretended to express concern, glanced around, and then said, “Director Xu told me that round faces appear the fattest on screen, and most directors are unwilling to use them.”

Hearing this, Huang Yue was alarmed, recalling instances when people criticized her for having a large face, even appearing fatter than male actors during filming, which made her feel embarrassed. Now, hearing that Director Xu had also expressed similar sentiments, Huang Yue instinctively touched her face.

“Did Director Xu really say that?” Huang Yue asked anxiously. “Last time, he didn’t let me audition for a movie, and in the end, he chose Wang Bing. Could it be because she has a pointed chin?”

Wen Nian admired Huang Yue’s ability to extrapolate from the information. She gave Huang Yue a meaningful look and said, “You know how it is.” Huang Yue became even more anxious.

Thinking about the possibility of never getting the lead role due to her facial shape, or even not becoming popular, Huang Yue secretly resolved to undergo plastic surgery as soon as possible while she wasn’t yet famous.

Huang Yue, recalling the times when Wen Nian was always obedient to her, and thinking back to when they had a good relationship, felt a sense of gratitude towards Wen Nian.

“Wen Nian, thank you. No one in the industry would tell me these things. Otherwise, I might never get good roles just because of my facial shape.”

Hearing her words, Wen Nian just smiled and didn’t intend to engage in conversation.

Huang Yue glanced at Hao Ting, who had just changed into her clothes, and quietly said to Wen Nian, “Be careful with Hao Ting, the one in the red dress. She deliberately spilled coffee on your bag just now. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance footage. It has nothing to do with that boy.”

After saying this, Huang Yue quickly walked away, afraid that Hao Ting would notice.

Wen Nian looked over and a faint smile appeared on her lips. What a small world it was that she encountered her old rival Hao Ting in this exam. Hao Ting, who used to be her nemesis in the entertainment company, had unexpectedly also come?

In her previous life, Wen Nian had been constantly suppressed by Hao Ting in the company. There were even times when the company arranged hostess duties that should have gone to Wen Nian, but Hao Ting managed to replace her through schemes.

Stealing roles, snatching sponsors, taking credit for costumes, and grabbing crew members – the two of them had done a lot of things in the past.

“Wen Nian, uh, sorry.” Suddenly, Wen Nian felt a tap on her shoulder, and when she turned around, she saw a timid girl.

“I’m also from exam room 16. But I heard that the teachers there don’t really like foreign dances. Is that true?”

Looking at Hao Ting in her red dress, Wen Nian knew she must be performing Spanish dance, which was Hao Ting’s specialty.

Her eyes rolled, and a sudden plan came to her mind..
