However, Lin Qingxi was an experienced celebrity, and she wouldn’t mistake such mistakes.

Yue Xiang was a director trained in headquarters. He held a high status in the industry, but he was still excited about directing “Fiery Rose.”

The president wasn’t the only one who asked about the plot. The secretary-general, Madam Fu, was interested as well.

Right after the audition ended, he couldn’t wait to tell her the results.

“Secretary-General Fu, I am the director of ‘Fiery Rose.’ I’m calling to inform you that the female lead has been selected.” Yue Xiang’s voice was careful with a hint of excitement.

“Who?”

“Lin Qingxi. Her acting is great, and she can definitely take up the role.”

Fu Wanyi replied softly, “She has been on the news lately, and if I’m not wrong… she isn’t a citizen of Xia country, is she?”

Yue Xiang’s heart skipped a beat. Is she not satisfied with the decision?

“Actually, Lian Qi’s performance was great as well. However, her height fell a little short, so we found her different from your great-grandma’s image.” He paused for a beat. “My first pick used to be Lin Wanwan, but her private life was too despicable for her to be put on stage.”

Fu Wanyi closed the folder before her and took her glasses off. “Is that true?”

“Yes.”

Yue Xiang smelled a whiff of interest in her voice and assumed that the legendary woman was keen on the gossips as well.

He started the story off. “I’ve heard that she paid for assassination services and has messy relationships with many guys. God knows how many times she had cheated on her boyfriend! I wouldn’t dare use an actress like her no matter how great her acting is.”

Even Fu Wanyi’s assistant could hear Yue Xiang’s loud voice through the phone.

This man is pretty interesting; he could spell the truth of something that he had never witnessed for himself.

Little did he know that the assistant had done a thorough background check on Lin Wanwan.

Assassination and all were nothing but nonsense, and Lin Wanwan’s boyfriend was the son of the secretary-general. How dare Yue Xiang say those things!

However, the secretary-general didn’t seem to like Lin Wanwan, and these rumors must be adding fuel to the fire despite being false.

“Director Yue.”

Fu Wanyi cut his chatter off, and her voice pierced his heart.

“Spreading false rumors is an act to be condemned, and ones who believe in them are more than just fools. Xia country is a lawful nation, and manipulating facts without evidence can be a crime, do you understand me?”

The assistant was shocked.

Is the secretary-general trying to side with Lin Wanwan?

Yue Xiang broke into a cold sweat. “I’m very sorry, Madam Fu! I’ll be more careful next time!”

Fu Wanyi nodded.

Yue Xiang wondered about the meaning between the lines, and he felt that she was protecting Lin Wanwan.

“Secretary-General Fu, I, too, feel that it’s unfair to cancel Lin Wanwan’s rights for the audition based on rumors. I want to give her another chance.”

“You are the director; you make the calls.”

This… seems like a yes?

Yue Xiang let out a sigh of relief and was glad that he didn’t publish Lin Qingxi’s approval immediately.

“If Madam Fu is interested, you can watch the live stream of Lin Wanwan’s audition. We can look for other candidates if she doesn’t satisfy.”

Fu Wanyi pondered for a moment. “That would be good.”
