At the set of World.

This drama was recommended by Director He, and today was its audition.

When Ming Shu arrived, there were already many people there.

But when these people saw her, they looked a little weird. No one came forward to say hello, as if she were some terrible virus.

There were exceptions, of course.

"Movie Queen Wen, I thought you would retire, I didn't expect to see you here."

A woman sitting a short distance away, looking at her fingernails, made such a greeting deliberately.

The rest stepped aside to make a battleground for them.

Zhou Feifei.

Zhou Feifei was also a popular movie queen, but compared with Wen Di, she was a lot older.

The feud between the two began because of a drama. Originally, Zhou Feifei thought she could win that drama's female protagonist role for sure.

But she did not expect that the final choice would be Wen Di.

Because of this matter, Zhou Feifei had always found Wen Di disagreeable to the eye.

"If I retire, how can I let you see my peerless elegance?" Ming Shu sat directly opposite her.

Zhou Feifei: "…"

Zhou Feifei pulled her sunglasses down with her fingers, her tone mocking. "You think you can get the role? Who doesn't know you're banned now? You dare to come to the audition, are you not afraid of losing face?"

"Yet I'm still on the top search."

Zhou Feifei: "…"

"That messy news about you just attracts the public's attention, making people laugh."

"Why do you act if you don't like to attract the public's attention, just go home and farm."

"…"

Zhou Feifei was defeated again.

"Number 12, please be ready."

A staff member came in and called out.

Zhou Feifei got up immediately. "Wen Di, I advise you to go home early. Even if you have acting skills, the crew will also dare not hire you."

Ming Shu chuckled with closed lips. "Maybe I'll just use my acting skills to persuade the director?"

Zhou Feifei choked. Why did it look like she was complimenting her acting skills?

Zhou Feifei sneered and walked away in high heels.

Once she left, the waiting room became strangely quiet.

Even if some were talking, they dared not speak loudly. Whispering came from all corners.

Ming Shu took out a bag of snacks and looked at the people in the room casually as she ate.

There were all currently popular young female actresses and long established predecessors, as well as some strange new faces.

It was an all-female audition today, and judging from the casting, the drama was getting quite a lot of attention.

Half an hour later…

Zhou Feifei came back a little proudly. The directors were all very satisfied with her; she would definitely get the role.

She provoked Ming Shu with sparkling eyes, but the latter ate her snacks quietly and didn't even give her a look.

Zhou Feifei frowned.

She ignored me! Does she think she's still the former popular and respectable Wen Di?

She turned her head to see the assistant holding a coffee. When a sudden idea popped up in her heart, she grabbed the coffee and walked over.

When she approached Ming Shu, she deliberately tripped and poured the coffee at Ming Shu.

Pa—

The coffee cup dropped onto the floor.

The room was dead silent.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the young girl who was hit by the coffee.

Ming Shu sat next to her smilingly and was completely fine.

The young girl was also dumbfounded.

She froze, letting the coffee drip down. Her white dress was too stained to look at.

"Movie Queen Zhou, even if you don't like the girl, you don't have to pour coffee on her. You can just leave that to your assistant; doing it by yourself can just spoil your image as a movie queen."

Zhou Feifei's face darkened even more seriously. "You pushed me so I poured the coffee on her."

She was targeting Wen Di!

Who knew that she would suddenly push her and make her pour the coffee on the wrong target.

"Oh, you're saying you wanted to pour that on me?"

"I just sprained my ankle." Even if everyone knew in their hearts what was going on, they wouldn't say so openly.

Ming Shu stood up and pushed Zhou Feifei.

Zhou Feifei was wearing high heels. After being pushed by Ming Shu, she stepped back a little and stepped on the coffee on the floor, slipping and falling down.

She landed on her butt. And the others could feel it hurt a lot only through the sound.

"Sister Feifei!"

The assistant exclaimed and went forward to help Zhou Feifei up. It was so painful, Zhou Feifei was stained with coffee and felt its sticky touch.

"Wen Di!"

"Sorry, it wasn't on purpose."

Without any sincerity.

Her face said, I did it on purpose, so what?

You deliberately wanted to pour coffee on me, so can't I push you in return?

I am a villain!

Not an idiot!

"Sister Feifei, let's just go." The assistant warned Zhou Feifei.

Zhou Feifei felt uncomfortable and glared at Ming Shu bitterly. "Just wait!"

"Walk slowly and be careful with your feet, don't trip again."

Zhou Feifei almost lost her balance.

Ming Shu turned her head and said to that young girl, "See, I took revenge for you."

The girl didn't know if she should cry or smile.

How could she continue the audition with stained clothes?

"Don't you have an assistant?" Ming Shu asked.

The girl shook her head in bewilderment.

Did… Wen… Wen… Wen Di just talk to her?

"It's my responsibility. Come, follow me."

The girl didn't move. Ming Shu directly pulled her up and asked the staff where the washroom was.

Walking into the washroom, Ming Shu stuffed a small skirt to the confused girl. "Change into this."

"Ah… Where did you get this?" She was holding a bag of snacks in her hand just now, where did she get an extra skirt?

"I took it on the way here."

The girl was speechless. When they came over, they did see some clothes, but… Those seemed like costumes.

And she said she took it…

Why could she say it so naturally?

Were movie queens all so willful?

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and urged her. "If you hesitate for a little longer, we'll miss the audition."

The girl then finally decided to change.

The small skirt ended just above the knee. Its waist was tightened slightly, just enough to draw out her curves.

There were no patterns on the skirt, making it look simple and elegant.

On each side of the shoulder was a piece of gauze, floating gracefully as she walked.

It didn't look like an ordinary costume from the set…

The young girl looked at Ming Shu. "Thank you, otherwise I think I wouldn't be able to audition today."

"…Wasn't it because of me that you ended up that? But you still thank me?" Am I meeting another foolish, innocent, sweet girl?

"That's not your fault." The girl smiled innocently.

"…" I have nothing to say.

But Ming Shu didn't encourage her. "Even if you can do the audition, you won't be lucky enough to get the role."

The girl was stunned and tears shone in her eyes. She cheered herself up. "I'll try my best."

Who's letting an innocent child come out alone? Are you not afraid of her being carried away by a wolf?

Ming Shu shook her head with a sigh, walking out of the washroom.

"My name's Mumu." The innocent child followed her. "Mumu, as in wood."

Mumu?

Her parents were too casual in their choice of her name.

Ming Shu coughed. "You should know my name."

The innocent child nodded repeatedly. "I like your acting very much."

She thought people like Wen Di would be difficult to get along with, and didn't expect that she would take the initiative to speak to her.

And she gave her a skirt to wear.
