Jiang Zhi’s sharp gaze wandered around the room, but she could not spot Wu Dai. She could not help but frown.
She knew how important this interview was to Wu Dai and how much effort he had put in. He would never disappear into thin air at this time.
Something must have happened!
“Lu Mian, can you help me find Wu Dai…”
Jiang Zhi whispered into Lu Mian’s ear, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Lu Mian nodded. Although he was unhappy that Jiang Zhi was paying too much attention to this little artiste, he did not mind chopping off someone’s claws if they reached into Star Glory and caused trouble for Jiang Zhi!
When Jiang Zhi saw Lu Mian leave, she turned around and gave Director Zheng an apologetic smile. “Director Zheng, Wu Dai is not an irresponsible person. Let’s wait a little longer.”
As soon as Jiang Zhi finished speaking, before Director Zheng could say anything, the artiste who had locked Wu Dai in the toilet could not help but shout loudly, “This is unfair!”
“Everyone’s interview time is limited. Wu Dai’s tardiness and disrespect for the production team is his own problem! Why should we waste so much of our time because of him?!”
“Director Jiang, you can’t give him special favors just because he’s an artiste from your company!”
Jiang Zhi glanced at the male artiste who had jumped out to refute him. There was a faint coldness at the end of her eyes. “Who are you?”
The male artiste’s expression changed. With his current status and qualifications, he did not have the qualifications to challenge Jiang Zhi, the person in charge of Star Glory, and Director Zheng.
He was very indignant.
However, when he met Jiang Zhi’s gaze, which seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, he could only open his mouth soundlessly…
After Jiang Zhi suppressed the male actor’s aura, she ignored him and said in a loud voice.
“Our audition has fixed guidelines. Although Wu Dai has not appeared yet, he still has ten minutes left in the audition.
“Since you all want it to be fair and just, then waiting for these ten minutes is also fair to Wu Dai!”
As soon as Jiang Zhi said this, the whispers of the crowd stopped. However, in their hearts, they did not care about what Jiang Zhi said.
Ten minutes?
In such a short period of time, they could not even get into the scene of the character. How could they perform their acting skills!
In just a few minutes, it was absolutely impossible for them to perform the entire character’s wonderful life and display the powerful and passionate emotions!
Director Zheng did not have much hope for Wu Dai because he was too young. It was very difficult for him to express such complicated emotions in such a short time.
—
Lu Mian did not spend much effort to find Wu Dai.
He heard the sound of Wu Dai knocking on the door and calling for help when he was near the bathroom on this floor.
Wu Dai’s voice was very loud. However, because the audition had to be kept tightly confined, all the unrelated staff members had already cleared out.
Lu Mian walked to the bathroom door with his long legs. When he saw the sign that read “Cleaning, please do not enter”, he frowned in disgust. How dare an artiste from Star Glory do this right under his nose? He must be tired of living.
“Step back!”
When Wu Dai heard someone speaking, he suddenly stood up straight and leaned against the door in excitement. His voice was choked with sobs as he said, “Is anyone there? Please save me!”
Lu Mian really did not understand why he had to praise an artist who is so slow on the uptake. He could not be bothered to waste his breath on Wu Dai and said coldly, “Don’t you understand? I told you to get out of the way!”
“Yes! Yes! Sorry to trouble you!” Wu Dai thanked him profusely and quickly retreated. “I… I’m ready!”
When Lu Mian heard Wu Dai’s silly words, he sighed and kicked the door lock.
Bang! The door burst open.
It was so simple, and he had been locked up for so long. How weak!
Lu Mian raised his head and looked at the tearful Wu Dai, confirming his thoughts once again.
That’s right, how weak!
Wu Dai stared at Lu Mian like he was laying eyes upon the messiah. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Mian.
“Your interview has begun. Go to the audition.”
Wu Dai nodded repeatedly and followed Lu Mian to the audition room.
Just when everyone was not expecting Wu Dai to return, the door to the audition room was suddenly pushed open and Lu Mian walked in with Wu Dai!
When Jiang Zhi saw the two of them enter, she immediately stood up and walked straight to Wu Dai’s side. She patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, “You don’t have much time left. Go big. Believe me, you will be rewarded for all your efforts!”
Wu Dai looked at Jiang Zhi’s serious gaze and his panicked heart instantly calmed down.
That’s right! He can definitely do it!
