"Don't you have anything to do?"
"It won't take a while."
Meng Yao was just being polite and had no intention of really refusing. It wouldn't matter whether Guan Liang sent her off or not anyway.
Meng Yao and Guan Liang walked downstairs to the lobby and suddenly saw a familiar person.
Meng Qingqing walked towards the door like a star, surrounded by many bodyguards and assistants. Compared with before, her aura had changed a lot.
Many people in the hall were looking at her with either envy or admiration.
Meng Yao was keenly aware of the change in Meng Qingqing's aura. She held her head high, and seemed to have become more confident. How could she have changed so much in just a few days...
As if sensing Meng Yao's doubt, Guan Liang replied, "Meng Qingqing has taken on a big endorsement recently."
"More than that, right?" Meng Yao turned her head with an indifferent expression.
Guan Liang smiled, his expression complicated: "Director Wang Chun specially invited Meng Qingqing to be the heroine of the new drama. You should have heard of Wang Chun, right? He is a great director who is very good at making art films. He has been preparing for this drama for a long time, and it has a great chance of winning awards. As a newcomer, her future is limitless. Because she has a strong momentum, the company also values her a lot."
Meng Yao raised her eyebrows slightly. She was not surprised at all that Meng Qingqing was able to get a good role. After all, Meng Qingqing's "heroine halo" was not just talk.
However, Meng Yao was also a little confused because there was no mention of the cooperation between Wang Chun and Meng Qingqing in the plot.
But she soon felt relieved. The author would definitely pick a few important events to write about. Perhaps this was just a stepping stone for Meng Qingqing to climb to the top. As the heroine, Meng Qingqing has more resources in the plot than these.
"Aren't you sad? I remember that you and Meng Qingqing didn't have a good relationship. Meng Qingqing is not a simple character. Have you noticed the way she looks at you? She wants to step on you all the time." Guan Liang looked at Meng Yao with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"I'm so sad." She said perfunctorily, with laziness still in her voice.
She was so happy that she wanted Meng Qingqing to reach the pinnacle of life. She would run away sooner after reaching the end! By then, she could go wherever she wanted.
Because he was facing sideways, Guan Liang couldn't see Meng Yao's expression clearly. He thought he had achieved his goal, but Meng Yao finally felt a little unwilling.
Guan Liang is very good at guessing people's thoughts. He likes Meng Yao's transformation and appreciates her current abilities. There are only a few things he doesn't like, that is, Meng Yao likes to be lazy, is content with the status quo, and has no ambition.
Guan Liang felt that he had to do something to motivate Meng Yao and ignite her desire to win. At least she shouldn't just muddle through like she does now, with no other pursuits except snacks and hotpot.
Now, Guan Liang felt that his goal had been achieved, so he smiled and said to Meng Yao: "There is one thing I forgot to tell you."
You need to put pressure on her, but don't push her too hard.
"You know Director Huang Yan, right?"
"Hmm..." Meng Yao had seen her at the banquet.
"You and Meng Qingqing have always been at odds, right? Now that you have the opportunity from Director Huang, you should show your ability and crush her!"
"But it's really strange... Why does Huang Yan pay so much attention to you? Maybe she appreciates your performance..."
And stepped on it... The heroine is the child of luck, the darling of heaven, and the existence of luck against the sky. How could Meng Qingqing be crushed by her, a female supporting role? This is totally impossible! Guan Liang has not read the plot, so of course he doesn't understand.
"Wait..." Meng Yao frowned, "Which drama are you talking about for the audition invitation?"
"Mirror Image is a big production that is no worse than The Journey of Flower. Moreover, it has higher artistic value and has a better chance of sweeping all the major awards."
"Mirror? How could it be a mirror?!" Meng Yao's expression cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Mirror" clearly appears in the second half of the plot. According to the plot, it is impossible for it to appear so soon. Moreover, the heroine of this drama should be Meng Qingqing, and Huang Yan is Meng Qingqing's benefactor.
How come "Mirror" has fallen on my head now
No... If I just audition, I may not get this role. If I perform worse, I will definitely give this opportunity to Meng Qingqing.
By then the plot will be back on track, with two big productions competing for Meng Qingqing. Isn't this also a fun point that readers will like
Thinking about it this way, Meng Yao felt that this matter was not a big problem. Although there were some deviations in the middle, "Mirror" would still belong to Meng Qingqing.
Guan Liang didn't know what Meng Yao was thinking: "I originally wanted to tell you the news two days later. After all, you are very tired after just coming back and need to relax."
Meng Yao turned her head and her eyes almost met Guan Liang's. Guan Liang could clearly see the expression on Meng Yao's face, which was a little too calm.
As luck would have it, Meng Yao and Meng Qingqing bumped into each other at the door. The two came together from two different directions, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Meng Qingqing stopped chatting and laughing with the people around her. Her nerves were tense and her eyes were fixed on Meng Yao.
She didn't expect Meng Yao to come back so soon. She thought Meng Yao would stay in the wild for a while longer. Although she hadn't seen her for a while, Meng Qingqing had heard a lot about Meng Yao's heroic deeds, such as how she saved people and how she led everyone to victory...
That’s really amazing!
Meng Qingqing did not get close to Meng Yao as she did before. She felt that she was no longer the country girl who had just arrived in Beijing. She was now receiving so many admiring glances from people and was favored by so many directors. She was no worse than Meng Yao. She never felt that she was worse than Meng Yao.
Meng Yao's gaze fell lightly on Meng Qingqing's face, but only for a moment.
It was as if she was facing a stranger who was not worth her even a moment's glance.
Meng Yao knew that Meng Qingqing was feeling proud at the moment, and the best thing to do was to rush over and ridicule Meng Qingqing and say some harsh words, so as to reflect her rare value as a villain. But she had just come back from the wild, and she was a little tired. How could Meng Qingqing be more important than her own precious snacks!
Meng Yao didn't look away. Because she was leaving the company, she wore sunglasses and a mask, without revealing any of her face. However, her cloud-like hair and slim figure had already attracted enough attention to be impossible to ignore.
