Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Is the CEO Not in a Good Mood Today?

Shen Jinyou inherited his mother Shen Jialin’s genes, and from a young age, he was extremely striking. At around eight or nine years old, he already had an aura of being both imposing and elegant. However, because the elderly couple that had adopted him were both deaf-mutes, his speech was unclear even at eight or nine years old. He had the look of someone worldly but was actually naive, which invited bullying and abuse from the neighbors.

The scene to be auditioned today was from when Shen Jinyou was fourteen, on his birthday. The deaf-mute elderly couple took out the silver they had hoarded for a long time to buy him a handsome set of clothes. However, it happened to coincide with their neighbor Aunt Wang losing a bag of silver. In her angst, upon seeing Shen Jinyou in a splendid robe, she assumed he had stolen the silver, took up a whip and struck him, demanding he confess to being a thief. Shen Jinyou was beaten half to death when the female protagonist, Xia Qingshao, happened by and rescued him.

"Alright, the next audition candidate, please come on stage."

Zeng Minghui shook his head, discarded the information of the auditionee in his hand, and immediately took out the next one, Ye Xian.

Between the makeup room and the stage was a long corridor, and, as Ye Xian walked out, a staff member happened to open the doors of the venue. The gentle summer breeze and the golden light of the afternoon spilled out the door and showered her. She resembled an exquisite young man from ancient times, holding a folding fan, gliding in gracefully.

When the audience below saw this scene, they were all stunned into silence by her beauty.

Bo Tingshen’s gaze lifted from the information sheet to meet Ye Xian, who walked in illuminated by the light.

The youth was clothed in a snow-white silver robe adorned with elegant bamboo-leaf embroidery. Plain-colored ribbons outlined the exquisitely slender waistline. Long, ink-like hair spilled onto shoulders, lightly secured by a fine-quality mutton fat jade hairpin. A couple of strands of black hair by the temples were picked up by the wind along with the flaps of the robe, fluttering freely, giving off a fairy-like aura.

The radiant glow that hovered beneath the eaves caressed her fair, jade-like skin, passing over the thick, raven-black lashes, through the clear, star-like eyes, and burst forth with a lustrous light like glimmering glass, till it finally rested on a small, enchanting mole at the corner of her left eye—straight nose, thin lips, gentle as jade, extraordinarily handsome, her beauty seemed out of this world.

Upon seeing her for the first time, Zeng Minghui was almost reminded of the original character Shen Jinyou’s description in the book, ’Beauty verging on the supernatural, unrivalled elegance, bright eyes shining like moon above, an ultimately mesmerizing allure with a hint of childlike innocence and purity that one could hardly bear to harm...’

This appearance, this aura, she was the living embodiment of Shen Jinyou stepping right out of the book.

As soon as Ye Xian reached the stage, she felt a deep, intense gaze from the crowd piercing through her.

Looking towards the judges below, her eyes met the most eye-catching figure among them.

The CEO, the CEO was indeed there!

Her gaze sparkling, she greeted him with her folding fan. Unexpectedly, in the next moment, the man’s intense gaze turned icy cold, scary cold, as if she had fallen into an ice hole or had committed a heinous crime.

...Was the CEO in a bad mood today? Or did he dislike her being familiar in public? Surely he wouldn’t think that she, a minor third-tier star, wasn’t fit to audition for the role of Shen Jinyou!

"Good afternoon, honorable judges, I am the sixth audition candidate, Ye Xian!"

Ye Xian retracted her folding fan and bowed to the judges below.

The panel of judges nodded in approval.

Screenwriter: "This resemblance to Shen Jinyou is incredibly high, she’s practically the real thing!"

Producer: "Astonishing appearance, refined temperament, and the overwhelming sense of youth, Shen Jinyou is none other than him."
