Chapter 297: I Want to Audition for It, Arrange It for Me Now
Significant weight was lifted off her shoulders when she heard that.
“So, do you have confidence?” Jiang Luoli seemed even more nervous than Qiao Mianmian herself.
Qiao Mianmian held her hand and said, “Don’t worry, I do have some confidence. I’ll try my very best to get the part.”

On the other side.
Qiao Anxin received a call too.
Her expression darkened after the call.
“Do you know about Bai Yusheng getting actors for his new show?” Qiao Anxin asked her manager, Linda.
“Yeah, I do.” Linda nodded. “Didn’t I mention this to you previously? You said you aren’t interested in this genre of shows.”
Qiao Anxin pursed her lips in silence for a while. “I want to audition for it, arrange it for me now.”
Linda frowned. “Haven’t you already confirmed your female lead role for ‘Imperial Palace’? You don’t have the time to take up another role.”
“Don’t sign the contract for ‘Imperial Palace’ for now. Find an excuse to delay it for a while.”
Linda furrowed her brows. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. It took us a lot of effort to get you a part in this blockbuster. Don’t you know how many people want that role? Remember how they were thinking of letting Cheng Yilin take your place for this? If it wasn’t for Chairman Su promising a two-million-yuan investment for the show, this could’ve been Cheng Yilin’s place by now.”
Qiao Anxin could be considered a first-tier actress.
But even amongst the first-tier actresses, there was farther segregation.
Qiao Anxin was considered to be in the lower levels of the top tier.
Cheng Yilin had the looks, the ability, and also a financial backing. She was more popular than Qiao Anxin as well.
The only aspect in which she lost out to Qiao Anxin was that her financial backing wasn’t as strong and powerful as the Su family.
“With Brother Ah Ze’s investment, nobody else can possibly take the female lead role.” Qiao Anxin wasn’t worried about it at all.
She knew who Cheng Yilin’s backing was.
It was an old, ugly, and grimy old man who just had a little more money on him.
His financial prowess was nothing compared to the Su’s.
With Su Ze supporting her, she didn’t have to worry about anything.
Linda was a little worried when she saw how smug she looked.
She knew that with Su Ze’s help, Qiao Anxin had huge potential to make a bigger name for herself.
Especially when Qiao Anxin herself had some talent as well.
She surely wasn’t as good as some of the best actors and actresses, who were born with a flair for acting.
But among the majority, her acting wasn’t too bad.
As long as someone was willing to groom her and pave the way for her, she’d be fine.
But…
While the Su family was powerful, they weren’t the biggest shot in this field.
She couldn’t afford to be this wilful.
“Why did you suddenly think of trying out for Bai Yusheng’s new show? You could’ve told me earlier so I could make arrangements.” Linda wasn’t too happy about this sudden decision.
She was one of the renowned managers in the industry.
A few artistes were doing well now having been under her watch before.
Even if they were very popular now, they’d still show her some respect and address her as “Sister” when they saw her around.
Even Su Ze would greet her when bumped into her.
But now, with Su Ze wanting to fully support Qiao Anxin, he asked her to manage Qiao Anxin without taking on any other artistes.
