Chapter 652: Chapter 650 I will not let you down _1

After a while, he turned his head with a slight sternness and said to her, "Remember I told you before, the reason I came back from abroad was because I was being edged out and ridiculed? That bastard is going to take his agency’s artists to the audition too!"

Back in the day, it was this person who had ridiculed him relentlessly. It was because of his youthful exuberance that he had resigned in a fit of anger and returned home to make his mark in the entertainment industry—showing those who had edged him out that Star Shine could produce international superstars!

And it would be a superstar that he had personally built up!

Now, if Xia Ningxing could beat this international big shot and secure the lead role in Director Carl’s new drama, that would really be an incredibly satisfying feat!

By then, that person’s face would surely be stinkier than shit!

Tsk!

Just thinking about it is so refreshing and exhilarating!

"Which agent?" Xia Ningxing asked with some interest, her curiosity piqued.

She might not have heard of him.

Lu Fan answered, "Handsome Guy V."

"Then his agency’s artist, is it Bei’an?" Xia Ningxing stroked her chin, "You mean that international big shot Bei’an who’s won countless awards and is only short of an Oscar?"

"Exactly, that’s her," Lu Fan nodded and then added with a derisive laugh, "Don’t worry, even though she’s a big shot, both her looks and acting skills are worse than yours!"

"You just debuted later than her, otherwise you would have won more awards. But all that doesn’t matter, as long as you can get the highest award—Oscar for Best Actress, that alone would be worth more than a hundred of other awards combined! I believe you can do it!" Lu Fan patted her shoulder, full of confidence.

Xia Ningxing unwrapped a lollipop and put it into her mouth, blinking with a smile, "Thanks for having such a high opinion of me! I won’t let you down."

She wouldn’t let herself down either!

Five hours later, Xia Ningxing arrived in UA.

Since the actors who received invitations were essentially in the final round of selection, Xia Ningxing directly went to the location specified in the invitation.

The location was at a training camp in the suburbs of UA.

Upon arrival, the place was bustling with people, although most of them were bodyguards and assistants.

The actual number of actors was only thirty.

"Yo, long time no see!" Just then, a thin and tall man, who resembled a monkey, approached Lu Fan.

This man was the agent Handsome Guy V!

Xia Ningxing rolled her eyes beneath her sunglasses.

Calling him Handsome Guy V.

She immediately thought the nickname ’skinny monkey’ was far more appropriate!

"Long time no see," Lu Fan said icily, eyeing the other with a disdainful pose that seemed like he was looking at a mad dog.

The other snorted coldly and then his gaze fell onto Xia Ningxing, "So this is your actress, huh? She looks so fragile, probably won’t last a few days, huh?"

After saying that, he crossed his arms and advised Xia Ningxing, "Young lady, consider this a friendly tip from someone who has an old acquaintance with your manager, Lu. This training camp is no joke; it involves going through a lot of tough training, which you absolutely won’t be able to endure!"

"Thanks for your kind advice—oh, but I kind of like taking on challenges," Xia Ningxing pushed up her sunglasses on her nose bridge, her red lips curling up slightly as she spoke in a casual and unconcerned tone, clearly not taking this to heart.

Seeing him actually dare to talk back to Xia Ningxing, Lu Fan immediately stepped forward to stand in front of her, flipping him off and retorted, "Ugly freak, instead of worrying about other people’s artists, you might want to take care of your own!"

"Don’t worry, my Bei’an has been trained in taekwondo, Sanda, and other disciplines since she was young. She’s quite skilled!" The mention of his own artist made the other party puff up his chest, brimming with confidence, as if he could already see his artist securing the female lead role.

"Oh, is that so!" Lu Fan sneered, his face filled with disdain.

As skilled as she might be, could she throw cars with her bare hands like Xia Ningxing?

As skilled as she might be, could she beat up dozens of burly men and make them call her ’Daddy’ like Xia Ningxing?

"Tsk, what’s with that look on your face, you little brat?" The other’s pectorals twitched with anger, clearly enraged as he stared at him fiercely with fire in his eyes: "Lu Fan, you little brat, do you dare bet with me?"

"Bet on what?" Lu Fan met his gaze without flinching.

"Bet on this casting!" The other party closed in on Lu Fan, whispering in his ear so only the two of them could hear: "If Bei’an gets the female lead in this drama, then I win. You’ll have to crawl under my crotch. But if your artist gets the role, then I’ll grant any request you make."

Lu Fan smiled, but his eyes weren’t smiling: "Fine, let’s bet. My request isn’t excessive, if you lose, just streak through the capital of UA, let everyone appreciate your body!"

"You little brat!" The other party’s face contorted with fury instantaneously.

Dammit, to be insulted like that, and he still claims his request isn’t excessive?

Lu Fan raised an eyebrow, goading him: "What? Getting cold feet?"

"Hmph, as if I’m afraid!" The other party snorted coldly.

"Alright then, let’s record it for proof. If anyone backs out later, we can just release the recording to the internet!" Lu Fan took out his phone.

"No problem!" With an arrogant tilt of his chin, the other party consented arrogantly.

After the bet was made, the other party left.

Lu Fan then pulled Xia Ningxing aside: "Xia, please! You absolutely must get the female lead, or else I’ll be forced to endure the humiliation beneath someone’s crotch like Han Xin!"

"Han Xin endured the humiliation beneath someone’s crotch, and that’s why he became a great founding figure with extraordinary achievements later on," Xia Ningxing teased him with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"What the hell!" Lu Fan couldn’t help but curse.

Xia Ningxing patted his shoulder: "Relax, it’s just a joke. Don’t worry, I won’t let you be humiliated."

"Even if it really comes to that, I’ll have Lu deal with that recording," she said, winking playfully at him afterward.

Lu Fan couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth: "Oh, thank you so much!"

Just then, the loudspeaker broadcast in UA: "Now, please, each actor carry your luggage and enter the training camp alone. Follow the dormitory address on your invitation to find your respective rooms!"

The voice was Director Carl’s.

At this, many people’s faces changed visibly.

The female actors present each had at least three suitcases, and some even had seven or eight. If they had to carry them in by themselves, wouldn’t they be exhausted to death?

Therefore, many cast suggestive glances at their bodyguards or assistants beside them.

The bodyguards and assistants who got the hints desperately pleaded for some leniency.

"If you can’t even manage to carry your own luggage to the dorm, then I advise you all to roll out of here as fast as you can. Otherwise, you’ll find the upcoming training even more unbearable!" Standing on the balcony overlooking everyone, Director Carl sneered, bringing the microphone close to his mouth again: "You have fifteen minutes. If you’re late, it’s regarded as forfeiture! Figure it out for yourselves!"

After finishing, he turned and left coldly.
