Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the interview.
"Why are you following?"
Wen Yanan met Wen Zhiyan's gaze and said very seriously, "I am Mom's agent, and I will go to work with Mom."
During this time, he had learned a lot about acting from his mother, especially when he saw his mother cry, his heart ached.
But his mother said that the previous scene was not right. She always felt like she was missing something, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
During that time, his mother was completely absorbed in the script, except for eating and exercising. Seeing this, he felt both heartbroken and anxious, and didn't know how to persuade her.
"Just you?"
"Mom said I'm great." Wen Yanan looked at Fang Miaomiao.
Fang Miaomiao immediately chimed in, "Yes, our An'an is super great."
"Mom is the greatest."
Wen Zhiyan: "..."
So, he was the least great.
"Dad, you should hurry to work," Wen Yanan waved at Wen Zhiyan. "We'll come find you after we finish our own things, okay?"
Wen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, "Wen Yanan, is this you slapping me and then giving me a date?"
Wen Yanan smiled without answering.
"Alright, you two hurry up, I have to go to work too."
"Bye-bye."
Thanks to the sponsorship of Wen Corporation, Chen Tianming generously arranged for the interview location to be in the conference room on the top floor of October Hotel.
As soon as the news was released in the morning, the outside of October Hotel was already crowded with paparazzi and fans.
"Qingqing, we love you! Qingqing, go for it! We'll protect you!"
"Holy crap, what did I just see? Isn't that the popular young star Qingqing? She's also here for the audition? This is a goldmine, breaking news!"
"Fei Qingqing is so beautiful. I wonder what she's auditioning for."
"Look at her determined posture, plus her current momentum, who else could it be but the female lead."
"Brother, you're a paparazzi, you have no work ethic! Didn't you see Chen Tianming's Weibo? He's casting a dual female lead for this script, a dual female lead! I'm impressed."
"Oh my god, Cui Mantong! It's Cui Mantong! Cui Mantong is here too?"
"Isn't that Zhou Jiaxin? No, how come Senior Zhou Jiaxin is here too?"
"It's normal, isn't it? Who do you think Chen Tianming is? If you get in with Chen Tianming, you're halfway into the film industry, alright."
Zhou Jiaxin and Cui Mantong smiled and waved at the fans.
"Senior Zhou, long time no see."
"Mantong, long time no see."
The two linked arms and entered the hotel.
When Fang Miaomiao saw the news that October Hotel was surrounded by people, she decisively told the driver to drive directly to the underground parking lot and take the elevator to the top-floor conference room.
The people auditioning saw Fang Miaomiao and their expressions changed.
"Why is she here? And dressed so casually. Is the Wen family going bankrupt? That's why she's dressed so shabbily?"
"Who knows? Why bother with her? You know her acting skills, coming here is pointless. You should focus on your script."
"She's really putting on a show, bringing Wen Yanan to an interview. Can she not live without the hype of Wen Yanan?"
Wen Yanan frowned, stood in front of the talking young girl, and said with his head tilted, "Auntie, slander is against the law. Also, I'm clinging to Mom, not Mom clinging to me. I don't expect you to understand, but please don't gossip behind people's backs."
"Who are you calling auntie?"
"Aren't you? Auntie, you might not have noticed, but the powder on your face can barely hide the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes. Is it because you're always slandering people behind their backs that you've become like this?"
"You!" The girl's face changed, and she stepped forward to push Wen Yanan. A slender hand appeared out of nowhere and tightly grasped her wrist.
"Who is it?" The girl's face turned pale as she recognized the person. She still forced herself to say, "Fang Miaomiao, can you control your stepson? He has no manners like this."
"Isn't the one with no manners you?" Fang Miaomiao said calmly, "What? You can't win against a child, so you want to resort to physical violence?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Which of your eyes saw me make a move?" The girl raised her voice to cover her guilt. "Besides, isn't he fine?"
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Fang Miaomiao nodded thoughtfully and released the girl's wrist.
The girl was overjoyed and was about to say something when she saw Fang Miaomiao slap her.
"Ah."
The girl screamed and instinctively took a few steps back. She lost her footing and stumbled to the ground.
"Fang Miaomiao, you're going too far."
"Am I?" Fang Miaomiao tilted her head slightly and blinked innocently. "I didn't hit you, did I? There are surveillance cameras, you can't accuse me. Who told you to be so timid, huh?"
As she spoke, the people around involuntarily took a few steps back, away from Fang Miaomiao's line of sight. Some of the people who came with the girl to the interview didn't even dare to look at the two.
"Fang Miaomiao, do you know who I am to dare offend me?"
"Does it matter?" Fang Miaomiao impatiently interrupted the girl. "You reap what you sow. I, Fang Miaomiao, am not someone who will suffer in silence. Since you dare to bully my people, you must bear the consequences."
"Without the Wen family, you are nothing."
"Mhmm." Fang Miaomiao nodded obediently. "I'm relying on the Wen family behind me, I'm a fox borrowing prestige. Aren't you the same? If you have the ability, go find someone."
Her smug expression made the girl so angry that she didn't know what to say. She could only get up from the ground, say a fierce "You wait," and turn to leave.
"Mom, you were so cool just now," Wen Yanan pounced into Fang Miaomiao's arms and said enviously.
"I think so too." Fang Miaomiao picked up Wen Yanan, looked around, and seeing that no one was talking, she walked into the conference room with Wen Yanan in her arms.
Chen Tianming looked up at her, "Why are you so late?"
"Just settled a small matter outside."
"I was wondering what all the commotion was about outside."
"First, let me state that I didn't start it."
"Uncle Tianming."
Hearing the crisp childish voice, Chen Tianming's expression changed dramatically as he looked at Wen Yanan. "An'an, what's wrong?"
"Just now, an auntie outside said bad things about Mom. I argued with her, and when she couldn't win, she wanted to push me. Mom stopped her."
"Push you?" Chen Tianming's face changed. He still said kindly to Wen Yanan, "Then we can't have people like that. Is An'an hurt?"
"No, Mom protected me very well."
