“Believe me, I can definitely get this role,” Mo Rao saw Chen Zheng’s hesitation and said confidently.

Chen Zheng took a deep breath. Indeed, Mo Rao was the Best Actress Award winner after all. As her manager, he should believe her unconditionally, so he agreed. “Alright, then go talk to Director Jia Li about this. I’ll cooperate with you regarding public relations.”

After hanging up, Mo Rao immediately called Jia Li and told him her thoughts truthfully.

“Alright! I like actors with confidence like you! Don’t worry, even if it’s a public audition, I think you’ll definitely win!” Jia Li praised Mo Rao.

Facing Jia Li’s support, Mo Rao was very gratified. “Thank you for your appreciation. Actually, I’m sorry to have caused you and the movie staff this trouble.”

“Do you know what movie producers want the most? What they want is hype! Actually, this is nothing. I’ll treat it as pre-movie hype.” Jia Li laughed loudly on the other end of the phone.

Seeing that Jia Li didn’t take this matter to heart, Mo Rao was relieved.

Chen Zheng quickly did public relations according to Mo Rao’s wishes and expressed Mo Rao’s willingness to openly compete with the actresses for the female lead of ‘Butterfly Fragrance’. Jia Li immediately cooperated and said that he would make the audition videos public.

This way, the netizens’ doubts were dispelled substantially. Compared to voicing their suspicions, they wanted to see the audition more. Not only did they want to see Mo Rao, but they also wanted to see other actresses.

“Wow! This is the first time audition videos will be released, right?! Then won’t these actresses’ true abilities be exposed?!”

“I support public audition videos! I want to see who the real best actress is!”

“How exciting! Since Mo Rao dares to do so, it means that she has confidence! I think highly of her!”

…

Lin Xia was furious when she saw the public opinion turn around again.

She had long wanted to work with Director Jia Li. Previously, she had thought of ways to get close to this famous director, but he didn’t give her a chance at all.

After knowing that Fu Ying was the investor of this movie, she simply beat them at their own game and used a ruse to instigate her fans to question Mo Rao. However, who knew that Mo Rao would be so bold as to want everyone to publicly audition and even publicize the audition videos?

Lin Xia felt that she had shot herself in the foot. However, she was bold. Since Mo Rao had issued such a challenge, she wasn’t afraid. She bravely accepted the challenge and reposted the Weibo post of Butterfly Fragrance’s public recruitment of actors. She shouted, “Butterfly Fragrance, here I come!”

Once this Weibo post was posted, there was an uproar. More and more people began to look forward to this public audition.

Mo Rao didn’t care about Lin Xia’s provocation. She only wanted to perform well during the audition. Regardless of whether she became the person who stood out in the end, at least she could prove her strength.

These days, she had been preparing for the audition at home. That night, just as she was practicing, the doorbell suddenly rang.

“Brother?” Mo Rao walked to the door and probed.

“It’s me…” However, it was Fu Ying’s voice. To be precise, it was Fu Ying’s weak voice.

Mo Rao was shocked and quickly opened the door. In the next second, Fu Ying, who was outside the door, fell towards her. If not for Mo Rao holding onto the cabinet at the side in time, Fu Ying and she would probably have fallen to the ground.

“You have a fever?” Mo Rao felt Fu Ying’s warm body.

“I-I think so…” Fu Ying panted heavily, his voice weak.

Mo Rao used all her strength to help Fu Ying lie on the sofa. Then, she reached out to test his forehead and frowned.

“Your forehead is very hot. I’ll call Gu Hai and ask him to send you to the hospital.” Mo Rao was about to stand up when Fu Ying grabbed her.

Although Fu Ying was a patient, he was quite strong when it came to pulling Mo Rao. After Mo Rao lost her balance and fell onto Fu Ying, the two of them became very close.

“What are you doing?!” Mo Rao felt Fu Ying’s hot breath and her face burned as she tried to push him away.

“Let me hug you for a while… I’m cold…” Fu Ying buried his head in Mo Rao’s neck, as if she was his only source of warmth.
