Hazy Starlight Club.

An Mu and Ye Tongtong met each other at the front door.

Ye Tongtong was An Mu’s childhood friend. Their families lived together when An Mu’s parents were still alive. 

She was a cute little girl who was 155 centimeters tall. Her hair was short, and she looked delightful and adorable. 

Ye Tongtong attended drama school and majored in acting; however, her greatest dream was to become the best manager.

When she found out about An Mu’s desire to join showbiz, she recommended herself to be her temporary manager. 

At the moment, they were both a little nervous.

Ye Tongtong looked at An Mu, wanting to say something…

Knowing that Ye Tongtong truly cared for her, An Mu sighed. If she had another way, she would not take this risky step.

An Mu tapped on her shoulder. “Don’t worry.”

Ye Tongtong sighed. “I know I can’t persuade you so I’ll just let it be. Don’t worry! I’ve already asked around for you. Manager Sun had just entered the private room. Once we have information to hold against him, we’ll get what we want!”

Manager Sun was the person-in-charge of FAE’s investment in TV series. 

This meant that he could influence decisions made pertaining to this TV series.

An Mu planned to act according to the circumstances. 

If she could persuade him to support her by following the formal rules of an audition, everything would be just fine.

However, if he rejected…

An Mu would seduce him, and Ye Tongtong would rush in to take compromising pictures of them.

The upper management of FAE was bound by strict rules. The CEO, Feng Xiao, hated people who played by the unspoken rules1, and he had no mercy. Thus, Manager Sun would most probably be intimidated. 

An Mu took a deep breath, stepped forward, and opened the door to the private room.

Contrary to her expectation, the KTV private room was extremely quiet. 

The dim light made the private room dark.

An Mu stepped forward and saw a man who was sitting on the black leather sofa in the luxury private room.

The bald man with a straightened back had a big belly; this must be Manager Sun. He was close to 40 years old. His eyes looked muddled which shows that he had been in the business for a long time, and it had started to take a toll on his body.

However, he was the only one in the private room?

An Mu was delighted. This would be a great opportunity for her!

Manager Sun turned his head when he heard someone coming in and was immensely impressed by what he saw. 

An Mu moved a step forward and bowed to Manager Sun politely. “Hi, Manager Sun. I’m Tang Xia, the candidate who’s auditioning for the second female lead role, Leng Shuang, in the TV series The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Do you remember me?”

Tang Xia was An Mu’s artist name.

Manager Sun’s eyes that were filled with sexual desire locked on An Mu’s boobs. “Hmm… I remember you. You performed well.” He nodded his head after hearing her words.

An Mu felt relieved, and hesitantly asked, “So, Manager Sun, have the roles been finalized?”

Manager Sun heard this and frowned. “Well…”

An Mu quickly recommended herself, and said, “Manager Sun, I’ve been studying the role of Leng Shuang for a long time. This is how I interpret this role, please kindly have a look.”

She passed him some documents. “I think my physical appearance and qualities are very suitable for this role. Manager Sun, you…”

Manager Sun kept the documents in his suitcase and nodded. “Alright, I see your point.”

An Mu’s eyes dilated.

What did he mean?

Manager Sun said, “Regarding this case, we’ll follow the rules.”

Follow the rules?

Hmph!

If it was a fair competition, why would she even be there?!

An Mu noticed that he was highly interested in her but tried to control himself. She was puzzled… Was he playing hard to get?

An Mu gritted her teeth, walked forward, and sat on Manager Sun’s lap. “Manager Sun, let me have a toast with you?”
