Just as Jiang Ye was sighing for herself, that perplexing voice rang out again.
[Sigh, it seems like Lu Shilan will get the role again. Her acting skills are almost as good as Xin Yue's, and she's beautiful. As for Jiang Ye, Lu Shilan seems so well-prepared and determined; she must have already arranged for her husband to call her to the hospital to be with the child. Her audition is most likely ruined.]
[While I sympathize with Jiang Ye, I can't just gamble with my own money. I hope Jiang Ye's love-struck mind will eventually come to its senses.]
What the heck? She left early and missed the audition? Or was it because her husband, hired by Lu Shilan, called her?
She frowned, about to tell herself it couldn't be possible, when her phone vibrated. She looked down and saw the word "Husband" on the screen.
Jiang Ye's heart pounded like thunder in an instant, as if something she didn't want to face was about to burst forth.
She forced herself to calm down, picked up her phone, went outside the meeting room, and answered the call. She heard a man's anxious voice on the other end of the line.
" Jiang Ye, you need to go to the hospital right away. The nanny said your daughter has woken up and is crying incessantly, wanting her mother."
Just as the voice had said, her husband actually made her go to the hospital to be with the child!
She suppressed the shock in her heart, trying to comfort herself that it might just be a coincidence, but her tone inevitably carried a hint of anger.
" Ji Dong, don't you know I have an audition right now? The child is crying, can't you go back to the hospital and comfort her yourself? I finally got this audition, are you telling me to just leave and give up now?"
Jiang Ye thought her husband would understand her after she said that, but instead, she was met with his angry roar.
"You think you can get the role just by auditioning? I heard the two actresses you're competing with are both better than you. You won't get the role even if you audition. You might as well go back and take care of Yueyue. I'm at a crucial point in my promotion process right now. If I leave during work hours, will I still get promoted?"
In the past, Jiang Ye might have listened to her husband and gone back to take care of their daughter.
However, now, thinking of that inexplicable voice that only she could hear, she couldn't bring herself to say yes.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "My daughter isn't just mine. It's no big deal for her to cry for a while. I'll go over after my audition."
After saying that, Jiang Ye hung up the phone immediately.
" Jiang Ye, how could you be so heartless and unreasonable towards your daughter? Do you remember..."
The man's roar abruptly stopped. Jiang Ye composed herself and decided to let her fight for herself one more time.
If she fails again this time, then she'll accept her fate.
When Jiang Ye returned to the conference room after making the phone call, Lu Shilan's audition had also ended, and she was discussing her performance with the director and screenwriter.
Sang Yang was fairly satisfied with Lu Shilan's performance, nodding and saying, "You acted well and fit the role well. Although it's clear that many of your acting techniques aren't as polished as those from formal training, it's evident that you've done your homework."
The original author, Song Miao, also looked excited, "Ms. Lu, your performance just now was almost exactly what I imagined while writing the story."
Lu Shilan nodded and smiled, humbly saying, "I know I'm a self-taught professional, so I specifically found a formally trained teacher to give me lessons. I attend lessons whenever I'm not busy. My teacher also accompanies me to the set whenever I'm filming."
After she finished speaking, everyone's expressions became even more satisfied.
Seeing this, Lu Shilan knew she had a sure win. After saying a few more words, she humbly withdrew.
But as she turned around, her heart skipped a beat, because Jiang Ye, who was supposed to leave, was calmly waiting in the mall.
Why didn't Jiang Ye go to the hospital to take care of her daughter? Could it be that she came in to ask for leave? If so, she's smarter than she thought.
However, she didn't see Jiang Ye ask for leave and leave; instead, she politely greeted everyone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Ye, and I'll be auditioning next."
Lu Shilan was suddenly shocked. She really hadn't gone back?! How could that be?!
But the facts were undeniable, leaving Lu Shilan no room for disbelief. And then, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Could the original world's plot really be this powerful?
No, no, Lu Shilan kept reassuring herself. Even if Jiang Ye ended up staying for the audition, what difference would it make?
She hasn't acted in two years, how could she possibly compare to herself now?
Because of that voice, Jiang Ye paid special attention to Lu Shilan's expression, and then noticed the fleeting surprise and hatred in her eyes.
Lu Shilan doesn't seem to be as innocent as she thinks she is!
However, Jiang Ye also knew that now was not the time to dwell on Lu Shilan; the most important thing was to do well in the audition.
She knew that her initial impression on everyone wasn't good, and that her potential and reputation were even inferior to Lu Shilan's. If she wanted to win the role, she could only completely outshine Lu Shilan in terms of performance.
Thinking this, she took a deep breath, cleared her mind of distractions, and began her performance.
Ye Jin watched Jiang Ye intently as he auditioned and fell into deep thought.
[ Jiang Ye didn't go back to be a good mother and take care of her daughter, even though her husband called her. Could it be that she suddenly awakened too?]
[It's really strange, all the love-struck female supporting characters I've encountered lately have suddenly become aware of their own flaws.]
[While this is a good thing, there's something still off about it.]
However, Ye Jin wasn't the type to overthink things, so she let it go for the moment and happily watched Jiang Ye's audition.
It has to be said that Jiang Ye in his previous life was able to reach the top of the entertainment industry, which naturally shows that he had a lot of strength and talent.
