Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 45

Sheng Nuan immediately sent all the project details and a list of responsible personnel to the company’s General Manager, then left the company.

She still needed to accompany Lin Susu to a casting audition.

After returning home, changing clothes, and tidying up, Sheng Nuan pondered in her heart: Accompanying Lin Susu to a casting audition would inevitably mean meeting people from her circle. People rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles¹… Does she need to drive a good car?

But she didn’t have a good car. Does she need to borrow one?

Among the people she knew now, who was most likely to have a good car… Ye Nanxun.

If you borrow a car, you have to stay in touch, right?

Sheng Nuan pressed her lips and coughed lightly.

She was helping a friend, not trying to hit on Ye Nanxun. Yes, that’s right, her intentions were purely innocent.

But when she brought up her phone, she felt a bit nervous. After all, if she called him directly and Ye Nanxun was busy or unwilling to talk to her, wouldn’t that be very embarrassing?

After thinking about it, Sheng Nuan opened WeChat and sent a text: Are you there? Could I trouble you to help me out? I’d like to borrow a nicer car to take a friend to an audition…

After sending it, she quickly added: If you’re busy, forget it…

But before she could finish typing, Ye Nanxun replied.

Ye Nanxun: Sure.

Then another message followed.

Ye Nanxun: Where are you?

Sheng Nuan quickly shared her location and then said: Have someone bring the car over here, thank you.

Ye Nanxun: Alright…

Sheng Nuan felt pleased at her own wit.

Look, we’ve struck up a conversation now… Well, in the future, you could even invite him to a meal or something to thank him for lending the car.

She truly was a genius at hitting on fresh meats!

But Sheng Nuan didn’t expect Ye Nanxun would personally come to deliver the car.

Upon receiving Ye Nanxun’s call, Sheng Nuan went downstairs to the community gate and saw a young man leaning against the car, dressed in a suit and exuding an air of luxury that caught the attention of passersby. He looked both starry-eyed and somewhat nervous.

“Why did you come by yourself? Aren’t you busy?”

Ye Nanxun smiled slightly. “Not busy.”

“Oh…” Sheng Nuan added, “Um, thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal sometime if there’s a chance.”

After saying that, she quickly added, “If you’re busy, just let me know your schedule, and I…”

“I’m not busy.”

Ye Nanxun’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, then he softly said, “I’ll wait for your call.”

Sheng Nuan quickly nodded. “Okay…”

“Then, I’m leaving now.” Sheng Nuan took the keys from Ye Nanxun’s hand and drove off in his Rolls-Royce.

Moments later, a black sedan parked not far away pulled up beside Ye Nanxun. The driver respectfully got out and opened the car door.

Ye Nanxun glanced towards the direction Sheng Nuan had left and then turned to get into the car.

Lin Susu had been completely stunned after receiving the audition notice… It was for “Evolvers Alliance 3,” a film where top-tier female stars fought fiercely for audition spots. She had even proactively received an audition invitation from them.

When she thought about what Ivy said that day, she thought it was simply fantasy.

Until she saw the car Sheng Nuan drove downstairs, Lin Susu was completely taken aback.

She nervously got into the car and asked, “Where did this car come from?”

Sheng Nuan said, “Borrowed.”

Lin Susu naturally assumed “borrowed” meant “rented.” She felt a bit touched and amused. “You don’t really think that driving a good car will get you into the audition, do you?”

Sheng Nuan sighed. “Even now, you still don’t believe me?”

Lin Susu was confused. “What?”

Sheng Nuan smiled and said, “As long as your acting skills are up to par, the role of Ah Cha is yours…”

Lin Susu fell silent, leaning back in her seat and looking at her roommate with a complex expression. Finally, she asked with a heartbroken tone, “Ivy, did you hook up with a rich guy?”

Sheng Nuan: ……

If she hadn’t thought about how after enrolling, Lin Susu, seeing her alone without any relatives and assuming she was an orphan, took care of her and supported her, Sheng Nuan could have easily thrown this roommate out the window.

Upon arriving at the audition venue, Sheng Nuan parked the car downstairs to accompany Lin Susu upstairs. Then, in the audition room’s lounge area, she saw Sheng Mian.

Because it was a small-scale audition, the lounge room only had Sheng Mian and another female star with the surname Bai. Bai, who didn’t know a little unknows actress such as Lin Susu, gave her a quick glance but ended up looking more at Sheng Nuan, who was standing behind Lin Susu as her assistant.

Sheng Mian had originally been casually looking over here, but in the next moment, her gaze fell on Sheng Nuan’s face, and she was instantly stunned.

“Nuan Nuan?”

Sheng Mian stood up and walked over in a few steps. Hesitating for a moment, she confirmed that the young girl in front of her was indeed her cousin, Sheng Nuan.

After all, not everyone has such striking and recognizable features.

Sheng Mian was very surprised. “Nuan Nuan, long time no see. Where have you been all these years? I haven’t heard any news about you.”

She looked genuinely concerned about Sheng Nuan.

Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow slightly. “Me? I’ve been in Haishi all this time.”

Sheng Mian’s eyes flickered, then she sighed, “It’s been years since we last met, and you and your aunt haven’t been in touch with us… I didn’t expect you to become an assistant.”

With a look of “how did you end up in such a state” regret.

Sheng Mian didn’t know Lin Susu, but because she didn’t know her, she knew the young actress must be a nobody. Therefore, without any reservations, Sheng Mian warmly said to Sheng Nuan, “Nuan Nuan, if you’re willing, you can come work by my side as my assistant. That way, I can at least take care of you.”

Sheng Nuan smiled. “No need, you probably can’t afford to hire me.”

Sheng Mian looked at her with a helpless expression. “You’re still so stubborn…”

Sheng Nuan couldn’t be bothered with any pretense and sat down on a nearby sofa with Lin Susu. Sheng Mian sighed helplessly and returned to her seat.

Sheng Nuan still treated her as she always had, with a lack of friendliness, but Sheng Mian surprisingly didn’t seem angry.

People often have an inexplicable tolerance for those who are far removed from their own circumstances… a tolerance born out of a sense of superiority.

Soon, the female star with the surname Bai went in to audition, while Sheng Mian stayed there, fiddling with her phone.

Lin Susu asked Sheng Nuan, “You actually know the top actress Sheng Mian?”

Sheng Nuan replied with a slight “Mm,” “Yes, I know her, but we’re not close. Why do you ask?”

Hearing that their relationship wasn’t good, Lin Susu immediately dismissed the idea of knowing Sheng Mian… In her view, since Ivy didn’t get along well with her, it must be because Sheng Mian was not good. If that’s the case, she wouldn’t want to know Sheng Mian even if she was a top actress.

The actress with the surname Bai went in first, followed by Sheng Mian. After a while, Sheng Mian came out, and then it was Lin Susu’s turn. The other two, along with their assistants, waited in the lounge for news.

The role of Ah Cha had been auditioned by less than ten people domestically. The candidates who auditioned earlier had been clearly informed they weren’t suitable. Today was the last day for the “Evolvers Alliance” staff to conduct auditions domestically.

In other words, if someone was to be selected, it would certainly be one of the three of them.

The female star with the surname Bai had decent acting skills, but she was older, so Sheng Mian wasn’t worried… As for the artist accompanying Sheng Nuan, she hadn’t even met them before.

The chances of such an obscure artist being selected were even slimmer.

Moreover, she already knew that the production team of “Evolvers Alliance” had previously expressed interest in her, and she felt her audition went well. Therefore, although Sheng Mian didn’t show it on the surface, in her heart, she was very certain that if it wasn’t her, it wouldn’t be anyone else.
