I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week - Chapter 2143

Chapter 2143: Chapter 2144: Enhancing Affection

“Let me try for the lead female role?”

Wang Lu was stunned on the spot, along with others who were about to leave.

For them, securing a minor role like the third female lead was already remarkable.

But the director actually wanted her to try for the lead female role!

What was happening!

“You give me a pretty good impression, so I want to let you try,” Sun Yousheng said with a smile.

“No no no, I can’t…”

Wang Lu quickly declined, “I’ve just started my sophomore year, my acting skills can’t even support a third female role, let alone the lead.”

“You can’t handle the third female role because your temperament doesn’t match that character, so we didn’t choose you,” Sun Yousheng explained,

“Don’t burden yourself too much. Although you’re just a sophomore, that’s exactly what we are looking for. By the time your skills mature, you’d have acquired a strong societal presence which might not suit this movie. You understand what I mean, right?”

“Understood…”

Sun Lu still seemed a bit dazed, feeling somewhat surreal.

“Now that you understand, I won’t say more. Go back and get ready. Start next week. The shoot will last about three months. Make sure to ask for leave from your school.”

“Got it, thanks, Director Sun.”

“No problem, just do your best.”

“Yeah, I will.”

After discussing the essentials, Sun Yousheng left, and Wang Lu remained frozen in place, feeling like everything that just happened was incredibly unreal.

She thought securing the third female role was tough enough, but now, she had landed the lead!

“Congratulations, getting the lead role in this movie will surely make you a big star. Don’t forget us then.”

After Wang Lu secured the lead role, other auditioning actors started flattering her openly.

That’s just the nature of the entertainment industry.

When you’re unknown, you’re surrounded by wolves.

But the day you become popular, everyone turns into kind angels offering to warm you.

Dong Yao, embarrassed but instinctively drawing near to Wang Lu, congratulated,

“Lulu, congrats on landing the lead role.”

Wang Lu glanced at her and said indifferently,

“It should be me congratulating you on securing the third female role. Once the movie releases, I’ll definitely buy a ticket to support you.”

Dong Yao and Chen Yufei stood awkwardly, managing only a forced smile,

“I was just joking earlier, don’t take it to heart.”

Wang Lu didn’t respond and turned to leave the company, ready to share the good news with Lin Yi.

“Lin Bro, Lin Bro!”

Back in the car, Wang Lu shared the news with Lin Yi. It took a while for her excitement to settle.

“This is just the beginning. Stay calm, but you must also strive hard or you might be eliminated.”

“I know, but don’t worry, Lin Bro; I’ll definitely work hard.”

“That’s all I need to hear.”

Then, Lin Yi took Wang Lu out for a meal before driving her back to school.

In the afternoon, Lin Yi didn’t head to the precinct but instead went to Chaoyang Group and also bought some glutinous rice balls that Ji Qingyan liked.

Seeing Lin Yi arriving with the glutinous rice balls made Ji Qingyan’s heart flutter, but she controlled herself calmly.

“Why are you here?”

“These three months are my probation period, right? I need to perform well, aiming to end the probation early.”

Saying this, Lin Yi brought the glutinous rice balls close to Ji Qingyan and skewered one with a bamboo stick.

“Try it, it was just out of the cooker, still warm.”

Seeing the soft, glutinous rice balls in front of her, Ji Qingyan really wanted to take a bite but felt shy.

“I had a lot for lunch, I can’t eat anymore.”

“Stop pretending. I asked your secretary on the way here; she told me you’ve been in the office all day and didn’t even eat lunch.”

Ji Qingyan blushed but insisted pretentiously, “Who said I didn’t eat? I ate biscuits.”

“Biscuits aren’t as tasty as glutinous rice balls,” Lin Yi said cheerily,

“Come on, have a taste.”

Seeing the glutinous rice balls so close, Ji Qingyan didn’t know how to refuse and took a bite.

“That’s more like it, have some more.”

Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes prettily, admitting she was helpless against Lin Yi.

Out there, he seemed like Superman, unstoppable, but now, he was like a rascal she couldn’t deal with.

“How is the company doing lately? Is the project progressing smoothly?”

“Everything’s going well,” Ji Qingyan replied,

“If you have time, you should pay more attention to the issues at Lingyun Group. The semiconductor industry has become a global hotspot and a significant aspect of international competition. You guys are really in the spotlight now.”

“We can’t avoid that,” Lin Yi leaned back on the sofa and said,

“If they band together, Lingyun Group definitely won’t withstand it. All we can do is pour money into R&D. The carbon-based chip is our only chance.”

“I’m worried that Lingyun Group won’t last until the carbon-based chip is available,” Ji Qingyan shifted and explained,

“I talked about this with MD Shen. In about two years, we should be able to start production in the lab and in three years, start production on a small scale. The road to the carbon-based chip is a long one. If we can’t last, it’s over.”

“We don’t have to be so pessimistic,” Lin Yi remarked,

“At the very least, the markets in mainland Southeast Terra are still under minha control. The revenue from these areas should be enough to cover the R&D costs. Plus, I have some connections and with the support from the national level, gathering a capital of a trillion in the short term to accelerate R&D and expand production lines is feasible. If they really want to pick a fight, then we’ll give them one.”

“Besides, Intel, Samsung, and Mitsui, these three major companies also have some connections with me. That should reduce their restrictions on us somewhat; there are still opportunities, it all depends on who plays harder.”

The fierceness emanating from Lin Yi reassured Ji Qingyan that Lin Yi was still the same, unchanged.

“With you thinking like this, I’m not worried.”

Ji Qingyan continued handling her documents, “I need to work, don’t bother me.”

“Work can be done any time, today’s weather is so nice, it’s a waste to stay in the office. It’s the perfect time to change seasons, let’s go shopping and buy some clothes.”

Ji Qingyan looked up at Lin Yi.

“Aren’t you the one who most hates shopping?”

“I used to dislike it, but now I like it,” Lin Yi made a teasing face at Ji Qingyan, “Let’s go.”

“Don’t try to trick me, I’m not going,” Ji Qingyan said coquettishly.

“If you’re not going, then I’ll go alone and bring it back for you.”
