After Marrying the Cold Omega in Secret - Chapter 58

Chu Jin felt she was already standing far enough inside, but didn’t expect to still be spotted at a glance.

Confident as she was, Chu Jin deeply believed it was because of her striking appearance that allowed her to be seen from afar.

Regarding Feng Yuwei’s mockery, Chu Jin didn’t feel much turmoil in her heart. After all, what the other person said was correct – she had indeed gained a lot of popularity from the variety show.

From previously being ignored to now having paparazzi secretly photographing her and even starting to spread rumors about her.

However, if the other party liked to speak the truth, then Chu Jin was also a straightforward person.

Feng Yuwei still maintained an arrogant attitude. Chu Jin’s expression remained unchanged, and she responded with a faint smile.

Then she took the initiative to step forward, smiling with curved eyes, “Hello, I’m Chu Jinn, here to audition for the female lead role of Wen Qin today.”

The tone of this self-introduction mimicked that of the two receptionists earlier – polite yet measured, with a hint of cold mechanical feeling.

With a smile on her lips, she actively extended her hand to Feng Yuwei.

Today Chu Jin was wearing high heels, so she was a full half head taller than Feng Yuwei. Even though Feng Yuwei was full of arrogance, under Chu Jin’s height advantage, she appeared somewhat petty.

Chu Jin’s words hit Feng Yuwei’s most sensitive point. As a popular young actress who had played many leading roles, she didn’t expect to hit a wall with Su Chenxiao.

The other party flatly rejected all her attempts to play the female lead.

But due to Su Chenxiao’s reputation, even a supporting role was hard to come by. Although she felt it was a loss of face, Feng Yuwei still dressed up and came for the audition on this day.

Feng Yuwei wasn’t good at managing her emotions, and was already breathing heavily after just a few words.

She looked down disdainfully at Chu Jin’s hand, as if looking at something unclean, and said in a contemptuous tone: “I don’t know what kind of taste Director Su has.”

Chu Jin withdrew her hand and replied seriously: “Director Su has her own ideas, we can’t fathom them. But I also can’t understand why she would let you play a supporting role.”

It was precisely because of Chu Jin’s calm tone that even though it was sarcastic, people couldn’t find a reason to attack.

As for Feng Yuwei, she became famous at a young age, with a spoiled temperament and love for throwing her weight around. But she wasn’t very scheming, only knowing how to be openly malicious. She was most unable to deal with Chu Jin’s kind of subtle jabs.

Seeing that she was at a disadvantage, Feng Yuwei gritted her teeth and snorted, “Hmph! Someone of your level, who knows what methods you used to get the role.”

To avoid Chu Jin’s rebuttal, she immediately walked towards the elevator after speaking.

The receptionists hurriedly followed to open the door for her, with submissive postures.

Seeing them walk away, Feng Pei’er indignantly said: “I quite liked her when watching TV dramas, didn’t expect she’s this kind of person in reality. Really just a facade.”

Stars like this with such personalities are worshipped by thousands of people because they display a false perfect image on screen, and enjoy preferential treatment everywhere because of their fame.

Sometimes it really feels unfair when you think about it.

Chu Jin narrowed her eyes, her gaze carrying a hint of gloom. It seemed the days of working together in the future wouldn’t be very pleasant.

However, she felt Song Xunyu was the most unfortunate.

It was like she had a radar for avoiding celebrities she liked, one after another.

Chu Jin didn’t know how devastated Song Xunyu would be after telling her about this.

After seeing Feng Yuwei off, the receptionists came back to verify Chu Jin’s identity information.

When she finally arrived at the appointed room, there were still five minutes until ten o’clock.

Chu Jin held the printed audition script, quickly scanning it one more time. This was a new copy she received today, already showing folded edges from flipping through it.

She anxiously looked at the time, then raised her eyes to look at the closed door.

A simple sign was pasted on it, reading “Sinking Audition Performance Room”.

By now, Feng Pei’er was already holding all of Chu Jin’s other belongings. Seeing her nervousness, she made a cheering gesture and encouraged: “You’ll be fine, Sister Qin. Just do it like we practiced the past few days, you’ll definitely nail it in one go.”

Although Chu Jin didn’t have much interaction with Feng Pei’er, the other person had been a great help on this trip. Seeing her encouragement, Chu Jin’s originally nervous state was considerably relieved.

At the same time, her phone also rang once.

It was a message from Chi Ye.

[I’ll pick you up for lunch after the audition.]

Then quickly followed by two more words:

[Good luck!]

Chi Ye actually cheered for her, and even with an exclamation mark.

Was this still the same cold and indifferent Mr. Chi?

While surprised, Chu Jin also felt a warmth in her heart.

The nervous emotions from earlier were dispelled again.

Chu Jin finally put down the script, took a deep breath, then raised her hand to knock on the door.

There were only three people inside.

Su Chenxiao sat in the middle, with two older women on either side holding paper and pens.

Seeing Chu Jin, Su Chenxiao pushed up her glasses, her eyes gleaming with appreciation.

She immediately glanced at the two people beside her, indicating that her judgment was not wrong at all.

Chu Jin looked far more stunning in person than on camera.

From her tall perfect figure to her charming and stunning mature beauty, this was exactly the type that was most lacking among Chinese actresses.

When filming dramas, Su Chenxiao always liked to explore different styles and images of female characters. In recent years, the pale, young, thin and cute pure sensual style has prevailed in China, with almost all women starting to pursue such an image.

Su Chenxiao had always deeply detested this kind of standardized trend, which is why she carefully crafted this script.

Although the plot was melodramatic, it at least explored different female charms, with character designs no longer confined to pure and sweet.

Chu Jin noticed Su Chenxiao’s gaze and knew it was a benevolent look, so she felt even more confident.

It seems the agent hadn’t lied to her.

After introducing herself, she began her performance.

This scene was from the very beginning of the script, when Wen Qin was cheated on and then drank to drown her sorrows.

Although Wen Qin’s character setting was flirtatious, she had always been just a tease before, playing around but keeping herself pure. This was her first time seriously dating someone, but unexpectedly, just three days into the relationship, she was called boring and unlike her previous playful self. Then on the fifth day, she was cheated on.

So Wen Qin’s emotions that night were not only the sadness of breaking up, but also the determination to change her originally traditional self after being verbally stimulated.

This is what led to the one-night stand incident later.

When Chu Jin performed, she quickly got into character. Once in the role, her performance was extremely smooth.

It was as if she had become Wen Qin, feeling her emotions and conveying her emotional language.

Her acting skills were already good to begin with, and with the acting classes from the past week, this performance was not at all inferior to that of a top professional actress.

After about an hour, the audition ended. Although Su Chenxiao told her to wait for notification, the approving look on her face could not hide her satisfaction.

However, Chu Jin was always modest when things didn’t have a result yet. When facing Feng Pei’er afterwards, she only conservatively said “It was okay.”

There was still some time until noon, so Chu Jin sent a message to Chi Ye, deciding to wait for him in the lobby later.

Just as they were waiting for the elevator, a familiar figure appeared again.

Feng Yuwei glanced at Chu Jin without speaking, and directly stood right in front of the elevator doors, squeezing them to the side.

She looked extremely matter-of-fact.

Her assistant looked somewhat troubled, but had no way to intervene, and could only stand with her.

Feng Pei’er was very dissatisfied, but seeing Chu Jin’s calm expression, she didn’t say anything.

Chu Jin of course didn’t feel anything.

After just a few encounters, Chu Jin had already discovered that Feng Yuwei was the type who wanted to constantly display her noble status, wanting to stand at the front of every door and in the center position when seeing people.

Unfortunately, this time she stood at the wrong door.

Two elevators arrived at the same time, but the elevator on the other side arrived first. Chu Jin only needed to turn her toes slightly to leisurely walk in.

She could imagine how exasperated Feng Yuwei must be. Chu Jin found it somewhat amusing, and after entering, left the middle position empty.

Feng Yuwei, who had followed with a black face and in a fluster, looked surprised when she saw the empty spot. She was suspicious for a moment, but finally gave a “you know your place” expression before walking in.

The elevator started descending. Feng Yuwei, who hadn’t spoken until now, opened her mouth: “You and Chi Ye are in a cooperative relationship, right?”

This question was a bit delicate.

Chu Jin’s expression was calm as she answered concisely: “Not familiar.”

Her answer satisfied Feng Yuwei, who immediately snorted coldly, “I knew it, someone like you…”

She looked at Chu Jin disdainfully, then sighed lightly, her tone languid: “Just riding on Chi Ye’s popularity.”

Feng Yuwei didn’t know Chu Jin, but she knew Chi Ye. She knew she was the famous Chi family member from Linhe.

Before going on the show, Chi Ye had deleted and taken down all online content related to her information, so even people who knew the inside story kept it under wraps and wouldn’t actively mention Chi Ye’s identity.

So now, although Feng Yuwei was mocking, her words were still relatively restrained.

Chu Jin narrowed her eyes, becoming interested, “You’re very familiar with her?”

“Of course!” Feng Yuwei glanced at Chu Jin from the corner of her eye, “We’ve known each other for many years, we’re old friends.”

“Oh.” Chu Jin nodded, pausing for a moment, “I didn’t know about this.”

“It’s normal for someone of your level not to know.”

Just as Feng Yuwei finished speaking, the elevator reached the first floor.

Feng Yuwei and her assistant exited first, with Chu Jin following behind.

Seeing them come out, the receptionists hurriedly came over to see them off.

It wasn’t until they were out the main doors that Chu Jin realized Chi Ye’s car was parked by the roadside. She had thought Chi Ye wouldn’t arrive for a while, but it looked like she had been waiting for some time.

Seeing Chu Jin come out, Chi Ye got out of the car.

Today she was wearing a black dress, the hem reaching her slender calves, revealing her beautiful ankles. Wearing high heels made her figure even taller and more slender. Now wearing sunglasses and leaning against a black Bentley, she looked extremely eye-catching on the roadside.

Feng Yuwei, walking in front, recognized Chi Ye and her footsteps became somewhat sluggish.

Chu Jin’s red lips curved into a smile.

There was a good show to watch.

She asked softly: “Isn’t that your friend Chi Ye?”

Feng Pei’er also understood the situation and exchanged a glance with Chu Jin, silently starting to watch the drama unfold.

“Mm.” Feng Yuwei’s voice was extremely soft, sounding not very confident.

Chu Jin pretended to ask casually: “Aren’t you going to go say hello?”

Feng Yuwei’s gaze was like a knife, slicing Chu Jin a glance, “Why are you meddling?”

But under the gaze of these three people, even though she had boasted, she had to go up with a stiff upper lip.

After all, she was the popular actress Feng Yuwei.

So under Chi Ye’s puzzled gaze, Feng Yuwei walked up to greet her.

She smiled sweetly, just like her girl-next-door image on screen, even her tone becoming soft:

“Long time no see.”

Chi Ye frowned slightly, but her sunglasses hid her confused expression.

She glanced at Chu Jin, seeing the latter smiling.

What was she doing?

Although confused, she estimated it was nothing good.

Chi Ye didn’t even take off her sunglasses, her tone extremely cold.

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

Feng Yuwei’s smile immediately froze, but she adjusted quickly, continuing to explain and trying hard to make Chi Ye remember her.

“I’m actress Feng Yuwei, we’ve met before, at Yan Sisi’s gathering. I was wearing a green dress then, and even sang a duet with you…”

But the more she spoke, the worse Chu Jin’s expression became.

Chi Ye didn’t want Feng Yuwei to continue and interrupted her: “Mm, I see.”

Only then did Feng Yuwei beam with joy, saying a few more pleasantries before leaving proudly, not forgetting to look back at Chu Jin one last time.

Demonstrating her victorious posture.

Feng Pei’er was somewhat disappointed and said in a low voice: “They really do know each other, I thought Feng Yuwei was just bragging.”

Chu Jin felt the same.

She had thought she could slap Feng Yuwei in the face, but didn’t expect they really did have a history.

Seeing Feng Yuwei leave, Chi Ye, who had been calm and collected before, took off her sunglasses with a somewhat hasty motion.

Although she hadn’t figured out the situation, seeing Chu Jin’s changed expression, she hurriedly walked over.

Her originally indifferent gaze had already softened.

Even her tone was very gentle:

“Sister, get in the car quickly.”
