Chapter 452: Chapter 452: What a Fool_1

Seeing this scene, Xia Qingtian’s eyes widened in shock.

Shi Qian looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"Director Zhao, what do you mean by that?" Bo’s mother couldn’t help but look puzzled and asked anxiously, "Which of these two will be the heroine of your new movie?"

Director Zhao stroked his chin, "Both of your performances were unique, it’s really hard for me to choose."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian felt as if she had been struck by surprise.

Shi Qian was completely unable to accept this outcome, and regardless of Director Zhao’s status, loudly retorted, "How is this possible? How could Cheng Bingbing perform better than me?"

Director Zhao’s temper was very good, and he remained all smiles despite her questioning.

"You did perform very well, displaying great technique and emotion, it was truly professional," he first agreed with Shi Qian.

Then, before Shi Qian could rejoice, he continued, "However, although Bingbing is a bit naive, she wins on authenticity. Her performance is so natural that there are hardly any traces of acting, and she is very spirited. If properly guided, her future will be promising."

"So, both of you are excellent and based on your current performance, either of you would be suitable for the lead role in the movie I am planning."

Shi Qian’s face instantly turned ugly, she wanted to retort again, when...

"Qianqian, you cannot be so disrespectful to the director," Bo’s mother warned.

Shi Qian pouted her lips and was forced to swallow all her dissatisfaction, and reluctantly apologized to Director Zhao, "Director Zhao, I’m sorry, I was just being outspoken, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful."

"Never mind, you’re just youthful and vigorous. I was young once, I understand," Director Zhao answered magnanimously.

Bo’s mother gave an elegant smile, "Director Zhao, who will you choose as your leading lady?"

Director Zhao pondered for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he made a decision.

"When I looked at both of your profiles, I saw that you both starred in the same TV series and were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress," he said. "The role will go to whoever wins this award."

Finished, he didn’t give them a chance to respond, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he firmly summed up the matter, "All right, it’s settled. I will attend the award ceremony. The best supporting actress will be the leading lady in this movie."

"Of course, if both of you fail to win this award, then I’ll reconsider."

Having said that, he hurriedly left the audition site.

Once Director Zhao exited, Cheng Bingbing could no longer hold back her emotions and hugged Xia Qingtian, "This is great, Sister Qingtian, I did it, I really did it."

By the end, her voice was choked with emotion.

God knows how much pressure she’s been under all this while.

Shi Qian had the best instructors telling her how to act on the big screen, while she had to find her own way, cluelessly, not knowing whether the path she was on was the right one.

Fortunately, heaven did not disappoint anyone who tried hard.

She had managed to secure another opportunity for herself and didn’t directly lose to Shi Qian.

As long as she could win the Best Supporting Actress at the upcoming Hua Ji Awards, she would be set.

Cheng Bingbing was so exhilarated that she started to cry.

"Yes, you did great," Xia Qingtian nodded sincerely, complimenting Bingbing, "As long as we continue to work hard in the future, there will be a place for you in the entertainment industry. Let’s work together."

The reason she took over the entertainment company was to prove that she was as excellent as Bo’s mother and to gain her approval.

Now, her thoughts had unknowingly changed.

She and Bo Jingyan had already completed the divorce paperwork; they were just waiting for the certificate to be issued. Now Bo’s mother was just an acquaintance to her.

She did not need to please Bo’s mother or seek her approval anymore.

But she didn’t want to give up the entertainment company, or let go of Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin.

She wanted to take them to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.

By making them successful, she was also achieving her own success.

It took a while for Cheng Bingbing to finally calm down and let go of Xia Qingtian.

Her makeup was smeared all over her face.

So, she went to the bathroom to wash her face and reapply her makeup.

Xia Qingtian decided to wait for her in the rest area not far from the bathroom.

After she sat down in the rest area, she took out her phone from her bag and tried to see if she could find any insider news online, to see who had a better chance of winning between Cheng Bingbing and Shi Qian.

She was engrossed in her search when she suddenly felt a shadow looming over her, blocking the light from her phone.

Xia Qingtian instinctively lifted her gaze from her phone.

She looked up only to find Shi Qian standing in front of her.

Shi Qian had not left yet.

Xia Qingtian locked her phone screen, asking her with a cold and indifferent frown, "What do you want?"

Shi Qian crossed her arms, looking down at her, "Xia Qingtian, if you are wise, you will concede and withdraw along with Cheng Bingbing. There’s no way you can beat me."

"My road has been paved by Bo’s mother, the Hua Ji Award is already mine."

"Pfft..." Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but laugh, her exquisite face filled with disdain.

Shi Qian’s face twitched, unhappy she asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Xia Qingtian, leaning lazily against the chair, shook her head in regret, "Nothing, I just find it strange, how did you become so foolish?"

"I remember when I first met you, you were quite normal, not as foolish as now. Is your cerebellum shrinking over time? Hmm?"

"Xia Qingtian, how dare you scorn me!!!" Shi Qian glared at her with eyes filled with rage.

"Please, I’m not scorning you, but..." Xia Qingtian paused for a bit, before stressing, "Stat-ing, The, Ob-vi-ous, Dumbass!!!"

Shi Qian’s face turned ashen, she looked like she was going to explode with fury.

But Xia Qingtian didn’t care at all, she continued, "Furthermore, don’t you think what you just said, advising me to give up, sounds oddly familiar?"

"If I remember correctly, during the first round of the interview, you told me that Bo’s mother had connections with Director Zhao and the role could only be yours. But not only did you go through the audition, even after testing, Director Zhao hasn’t settled on you. Instead, he will determine based on who gets the Best Actress award at the Hua Ji Awards."

"You dare to ask Bingbing and me to give up, claiming the role to be in the bag, you really have no shame. Anyone with a shred of dignity wouldn’t make such foolish claims."

"Won’t you admit that you’re *an idiot*?"
