Scared to Death

Si You's audition was set for Saturday morning, about a half-hour drive away.

Jiang Tingxu had originally been resting, but seeing that Si You had something to do, he couldn't be bothered staying home alone. He went out with him, had breakfast first, then dropped him off at the audition entrance before heading back to the company. Throughout the entire process, Jiang Tingxu showed no intention of getting involved. He had complete confidence in Si You.

Huahua accompanied Si You, while Linzi would be bringing the nanny van over later.

Five minutes after Chen Guanqun received the call, he came out from inside, walking quickly with an apologetic expression. "Sorry, I was held up by an audition just now."

"It's fine." Si You smiled. "A lot of people?"

Si You nodded. "Then it's settled, Brother Guanqun. May the best man win. No insider dealings."

"Of course! I'm the assistant director. I'll be keeping a personal eye on it."

Only then did Si You feel at ease.

At first glance, it seemed chaotic, but a closer look made everyone's status immediately apparent. Some sat while others stood; some had several assistants around them, while others were alone, their expressions tense and uneasy.

Si You handled everything he could himself, and Linzi and Huahua were proactive
