I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2140: Chapter 2141: Words of a Ruthless Nature

After speaking, Lin Yi waved his hand, led Wang Ying and Wang Lu away from the hotel, and returned to the car.

“What did I tell you earlier? Focus on your studies, don’t casually attend those messy meals. You just let my words go in one ear and out the other, didn’t you?”

As soon as she got into the car, Wang Ying couldn’t help but scold.

“Don’t scold me anymore. I also want to make money quickly, then support the family. I can’t expect you to cover the household expenses alone.”

“It’s not like I’m so poor that I can’t afford anything. When do I need you to…”

“Alright already, she realizes her mistake, there’s no need to exaggerate.” Lin Yi intervened.

“Sooner or later she’s going to be the death of me!”

Wang Ying was hot-tempered and had no patience to comfort Wang Lu. If Lin Yi hadn’t been there, she might have even slapped her.

“But in this industry, it’s very common to attend meals like that. If you want to act, you need to network at these meals; otherwise, you can’t survive in this industry,” whispered Wang Lu.

“You’re still talking back!” Wang Ying glared and said:

“Just like the scene today, if Lin Yi hadn’t come, do you think I could have managed anything on my own?”

Wang Lu pouted and felt a bit scared thinking back on what had just happened.

“Alright, calm down now.”

Lin Yi looked at Wang Ying and said:

“That’s just society for you. Who hasn’t been taken advantage of before they learned to grow up? When the two of us were running business together, didn’t we get scoffed at? I actually think this is good; a setback is a lesson learned. Otherwise, the future will only get more troubling.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Exactly, exactly, Lin Bro is right,” Wang Lu chimed in.

Wang Ying gave Lin Yi a blank look, “Just keep spoiling her, and one day she’ll be ruined because of it!”

Lin Yi smiled, took Wang Ying’s hand as a gesture of comfort.

“It’s the price to pay in their industry. High risk means high return. Wait until Lulu becomes famous; her fee for one movie could more than what you earn in a lifetime.”

“But you can’t compromise your integrity.”

“The entertainment circle really is a mess. I’ll make some contacts for her tomorrow, and then she shouldn’t have any problems in the entertainment circle.”

“Lin Bro, you still know people in the entertainment industry?” Wang Lu said in surprise.

“I know a few, but not many,” Lin Yi replied with a smile: “Just follow me tomorrow.”

“Mhm.”

Soon, the three of them returned home. With Lin Yi’s persuasion, Wang Ying didn’t say anything more to Wang Lu. After a simple wash, they went to bed.

Early the next morning, Wang Ying got up early to make breakfast, while Lin Yi, still in bed, called Yan Ci.

“Calling this early, is there something up?”

“Actually, I need a favor.”

“For Director Lin to come asking me, it must be more than a small matter,” Yan Ci said with a chuckle: “What’s going on?”

“A friend’s sister is a sophomore at Zhonghai Drama Academy, and she’s relevant to your industry. If there’s an opportunity on your side, keep an eye out for her,” Lin Yi said:

“Let her gain some experience first, so it’ll be easier for her once she graduates.”

“There happens to be an opportunity right now for her to give it a try,” said Yan Ci.

“Will it interfere with her classes?”

“Drama College isn’t like other schools. If there’s an opportunity to act, priority is given to filming, because everything they learn is for better acting- gaining experience on set is more valuable than being in the classroom,” Yan Ci explained:

“How is your friend’s sister in terms of appearance? Do you have a photo? Send it to me so I can take a look.”

“Wait a sec, I’ll look for it. But I think she looks pretty good, just not as busty as you.”

“That doesn’t matter. The entertainment industry doesn’t really focus on that; even an A-cup can make it, no big deal.”

“Then, there should be no issue. In any case, I think she looks pretty good.”

Lin Yi didn’t have Wang Lu’s photos, so he took Wang Ying’s phone and forwarded a few pictures.

“She does look pretty good. Must be at least 170 cm tall, right?”

“A bit less, 169.”

“That’s enough,” Yan Ci said. “But I can’t really tell her figure. Do you have any without clothes?”

“Huh? What kind of lewd talk is this? She’s my friend’s sister.”

“Ha ha…”

Yan Ci laughed heartily, “I mean, do you have any swimsuit photos?”

“Do you really need to scrutinize this much?”

“Of course. An actor’s look is their bread and butter; details are important,” Yan Ci stated:

“We’re currently casting for the next movie. Bring her along, and I’ll give a heads up to take care of this for you.”

“Mhm mhm mhm…” Lin Yi thought for a moment and then spoke:

“Let’s not give a heads up right now, let’s keep things separate. Let her go through the normal audition process first to see what level she’s at.”

“What’s there to worry about? If she really can’t cut it and ends up tarnishing the reputation and costing money, you can just compensate me then,” Yan Ci said with a grin.

“Now, you’re getting a bit greedy. When have I not compensated you by tens of billions?”

“Ugh, bringing this up early in the morning, you’re making me uncomfortable for the rest of the day,” Yan Ci feigned annoyance. “I’ve got other things to handle, so I’ll stop chatting now. Come over to my company later.”

“Alright.”

After a brief chat, Lin Yi hung up, then went to wash and eat.

“Lulu, get ready. You have an audition coming up. Perform well when it’s time.”

“Ah? An audition?”

Wang Lu was taken aback, “A direct audition?”

“I have a friend who’s prepping for the next movie. I hear there’s an audition today; I’ll take you to check it out,” said Lin Yi:

“But I have to make something clear to you; no matter what, we have to rely on our skills to get by. The opportunity has presented itself, and whether you can seize it is up to you.”

“Mhm mhm.”

Wang Lu nodded vigorously, “Don’t worry, Lin Bro, I will definitely cherish this chance.”

“That’s the spirit.”

After the meal, the three of them left together. Wang Ying went to her company, Lin Yi took Wang Lu to Yan Ci’s company.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the company’s doorstep, they saw a long queue outside, men and women, all without exception, looking exceptionally good.

Wang Lu looked great, but amongst these people, she seemed quite ordinary.

“My God, it’s Weilan Culture!”

“What’s the matter?”

“This is a very famous company. Even though it was only recently established, the dramas they’ve produced have excellent reviews and have made many people famous.”

Hearing Wang Lu’s evaluation, Lin Yi got a sense of this company’s success in the industry.

“That’s good; having an excellent starting point is important.”

“But I feel like, in front of these people, I have no advantage at all.”
