“Oh, just take it off. Don’t worry about it. We all know each other!” Zhao Zhengmin went over to pull Chen Xinyi’s jacket to take it off directly.
The girl wore a cute pink short-sleeved t-shirt inside.
When Chen Xinyi chatted with Yun Jian on the phone, she knew that Yun Jian would be wearing pink today, so she chose a jacket that felt like what Yun Jian would wear, claiming that she hoped to borrow some of Yun Jian’s luck to pass the audition today.
When the men in the room saw the pink short sleeves on Chen Xinyi, their eyes went straight.
Chen Xinyi naturally did not realize it.
“That’s it!” Zhao Zhengmin said and patted her back like they were close, making Chen Xinyi stiffen up abruptly.
“Alright, Xiao Yi. Go over there now!” Zhao Zhengmin was going to pat her back again but Chen Xinyi managed to avoid it discreetly this time.
“Mn,” Chen Xinyi hummed noncommittally before she made her way to where she was asked.
For some reason, Zhao Zhengmin’s pat just now unnerved her.
“Here, here. Come here!” One of the judges who was seated waved at Chen Xinyi with lecherous eyes.
Gritting her teeth and swallowing the revulsion, Chen Xinyi ultimately went to him.
“We can start,” said one of the judges who was bald and slick-looking.
“This is your acting partner, Xu Song.” Zhao Zhengmin came over to introduce a man who stood aside and could be considered handsome to Chen Xinyi.
Although the man looked decent, he looked like he was already in his thirties if he was not in his forties.
“Hello!” Chen Xinyi greeted the man politely, to which the latter responded.
“This is your audition script. Only three short lines. You’d be able to remember them even without memorizing.” Zhao Zhengmin then passed Chen Xinyi a sheet of the script.
“The rest is up to your improvisation,” Zhao Zhengmin reminded after that.
It was only then Chen Xinyi took a glance at the script she held in her hands.
“Th-this script…” Chen Xinyi was taken aback by the lines printed on it just after a glimpse.
Surely, there were only three lines there.
‘No…’
‘Don’t…’
‘Don’t touch me, please…’
Chen Xinyi would have lived the years of her life in vain if she was still oblivious to the current situation. They were shooting those… those kinds of films!
“What’s the matter, Xiao Yi? Can we start? You’ve got to seize a good opportunity like this! If you perform well, who knows if you’ll end up starring as the main character in one of the films!” Zhao Zhengmin continued to coax like everything was perfectly fine.
“I-I’m not auditioning anymore. I’m going home!” Panicking, Chen Xinyi told the men with a flushed face and was about to run for the door.
Just two steps toward the door, however, Zhao Zhengmin had grabbed her clothes to prevent her from escaping.
“F*ck, you won’t listen when I’m talking nicely, will you?” Zhao Zhengmin questioned before slapping Chen Xinyi to the floor.
“Xu Song, get right to it! Strip her! How dare the girl resist me!” As if he became another person, Zhao Zhengmin shouted on the spot.
Xu Song ran over at the order and pinned Chen Xinyi to the couch, his arms going up to tear her clothes apart.
