The sound that sounded in the silent room was always especially attention-grabbing.
The ringtone sounded for less than a second, and Sister Ning and Mi Rui looked in the direction of the sound.
Sister Ning lowered her head and looked at her handbag. Then, she picked up the phone inside. When she saw the caller ID, Sister Ning was slightly stunned.
Then, she subconsciously looked at Mi Rui opposite her and happened to meet her gaze.
She waved at Mi Rui. After Mi Rui nodded, she walked to the side and picked up the phone.
“Well, yes… we need to discuss this matter… Okay, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible…”
Sister Ning’s intermittent voice came through. Mi Rui looked in Sister Ning’s direction curiously with a hint of anticipation in her heart.

She looked at Mi Rui seriously. “Do you know who just called me?”
Mi Rui shook her head honestly.
“It’s the casting director for ‘The Consort’.”
Hearing Sister Ning’s words, Mi Rui’s eyes widened slightly for a moment, then she looked at Sister Ning in confusion. “Why is the casting director of ‘The Consort’ calling you at this time?”
It had to be known that The Consort had already finished casting and was even about to start filming. No matter what, there was not enough time.
Sister Ning’s expression was a little indescribable. In the end, under Mi Rui’s inquiry, she briefly explained what the casting director had just said.
“Something happened to the actress for the role you auditioned for, Concubine Xiao. Now, the production team is choosing a new actress for the role. They are calling all the actresses who auditioned for Concubine Xiao previously to confirm if they want to go to the upcoming audition.”
Hearing this, Mi Rui’s eyes lit up for a moment.
“Then, Sister Ning, do you think there is still a need for me to go for the audition this time?”
Looking at Mi Rui’s expectant gaze, Sister Ning naturally knew that she probably wanted to accept the invitation for this audition very much.
However, the investment and production of “The Consort” were all from Star Brilliance. Even if Mi Rui went for another audition this time, she might not pass.
She couldn’t bear to break Mi Rui’s hope, but she still voiced her concerns one by one. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that ‘The Consort’ is controlled by Star Brilliance. With your relationship with Star Brilliance, do you think you can get this role through this audition?”
Mi Rui’s eyes darkened. She pursed her lips, and the corners of her lips tightened into a straight line.
After a while, Mi Rui’s eyes became firm. She looked at Sister Ning intently. “But Sister Ning, I still want to try this audition.”
No matter how she looked at it, “The Consort” was her last chance.
Even if Sister Ning didn’t tell her, she could guess that she had probably been abandoned by the company and they wouldn’t give her any resources.
Without resources, she would leave this industry sooner or later. In the end, this person would not be found in this industry again.
If she participated in ‘The Consort’, she would at least have a glimmer of hope. It was better than not seeing any hope at all.
Sister Ning looked at Mi Rui’s stubborn expression and sighed in her heart. “You have to know that this is already your second audition. You didn’t get chosen for the first audition, and you might not get chosen for the second.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOr rather, she felt that the chances of not being chosen were higher.
The casting director of “The Consort” was probably able to inform Mi Rui only because of her first audition. With another round of auditions, it would be unreasonable not to inform them, so the casting director was told to call them.
But in the end…
It wasn’t that Sister Ning was too pessimistic, but she had been in the industry for so many years. Although she hadn’t brought many celebrities to fame, she had seen many things and knew some of the situation in the industry.
However, even after Sister Ning’s persuasion, Mi Rui still made up her mind to go to this audition.
Seeing this, Sister Ning didn’t hurt Mi Rui’s confidence anymore. She stood up, took out her phone, and said to Mi Rui, “Then 1’11 call the other party now and say that we’ve already decided to go for the audition.”
Mi Rui looked up and quickly nodded.
Sister Ning walked to the side again and called the casting director. After waiting for a few seconds, the other party finally picked up the call.
“Director, I’ve already confirmed with Mi Rui. We’ll go to the upcoming audition… Alright, I understand… Sorry to trouble you, Director.”
Sister Ning hung up and turned to look at Mi Rui. “The audition is in two days. Get ready.”
Mi Rui nodded fiercely upon hearing this..
