Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 187 She's not qualified, I want to report her.

When it was Ning Yao's turn to go in for the audition, Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue encouraged her, telling her not to be nervous.

Ning Yao chuckled as she looked at her two roommates, who resembled mothers, and went inside in her high heels.

Upon entering the room, Ning Yao first saw four people in charge sitting behind a long table, with Director Guo being the one in the very middle.

Ning Yao smiled casually at the group of people in charge, her shoulders were straight, her smile was polite, and she showed no sign of nervousness or unease.

Ning Yao had looked up Director Guo's information and knew what he looked like, his temperament, some private gossip, and his little quirks about casting.

Director Guo has a small black mustache, and he looks serious but also a bit funny. Perhaps Ning Yao is the only actor who finds Director Guo funny.

Most of the others were so intimidated by Director Guo's scolding that they found it difficult to even look him in the eye, let alone make eye contact with him while wearing a relaxed smile.

The other managers were alarmed to see that Ning Yao wasn't afraid of Director Guo at all, and even laughed out loud.

The girl's resume says she's only a freshman; she probably hasn't even mastered acting skills yet.

So reckless and arrogant, truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers—this phrase couldn't be more fitting to describe Ning Yao.

The moment Director Guo saw Ning Yao walk in, his eyes lit up. It wasn't because Ning Yao was pretty and delicate; the entertainment industry is never short of good-looking people. He never cared about appearances. On the contrary, being too good-looking is a ceiling for actors.

It is a drawback rather than an advantage, and it is easily defined by people, making it difficult to make breakthroughs.

Actors with ordinary appearances are able to adapt to all kinds of roles and play them convincingly.

Shu Jing'an was one of the key figures among them, and he was favored by Director Guo.

"You're from the Communication University of China, Shu Jing'an's junior?" Director Guo spoke first, and the others remained silent, listening quietly.

"Yes, Director Guo, hello." Ning Yao spoke at a measured pace, just right.

Director Guo looked Ning Yao over with great interest. The audition clothes she chose were quite suitable for the role. The female lead in "Palm of My Hand" is a recent college graduate who marries her boyfriend of three years right after graduation.

Ning Yao gave him the feeling of a young woman who had just graduated from university and married the man she loved, almost exactly like the female lead.

She is strikingly beautiful, with bright and lively eyes. Her movements are unhurried, her answers are fluent, and she is rational and clear-headed.

"My first impression of Ning Yao is good," was Director Guo's opinion of her.

"After you got married, you went to the mountains to visit your husband who was teaching in a rural area, but you were unexpectedly attacked by several robbers. You were terrified, but you quickly came up with a clever plan to escape." Director Guo said, glancing at the people in charge beside him.

The person in charge immediately understood and stood up, walking to Ning Yao's side. Director Guo wanted to test her acting skills.

Ning Yao had no acting skills, so she could only tell herself that she was not Ning Yao now, but the female lead in the script.

She closed her eyes, and after about ten seconds, she found her footing and began to portray a woman who was panicked but also wise and calm when faced with danger.

While she was dealing with the robbers, she was trying to figure out how to get a spiral utility knife out of the drawer of her car.

Despite having no physical object, Ning Yao conveyed a sense of tension; her fingers trembled, yet they were firm and resilient, her knuckles white.

Director Guo was very satisfied and secretly made his decision.

Not only was Director Guo shocked by Ning Yao's emotional outburst, but the other candidates also clenched their fists, their palms sweating, feeling like they had become perverted robbers harassing innocent women.

For a newcomer to the entertainment industry, Ning Yao's performance is truly impressive, even surprising.

"She's the one! She's exactly the feeling I'm looking for!" Director Guo exclaimed in admiration. Ning Yao was truly a rare and talented performer.

Her panicked expression just now, her eyes revealing fear, yet also a hidden, unyielding will to survive.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and an actor's eyes are especially important. Without eyes, no matter how well the body movements are performed, the appeal will be weaker. Ning Yao's advantage lies in her skill in using her eyes to convey emotions.

Physical movements can be taught, details can be taught, but talent is the decisive factor in how far an actor can go.

Director Guo is over fifty years old and has seen many young actors. He can tell at a glance where their ceiling in the entertainment industry is.

This girl named Luo Xiyao is definitely no ordinary person!

The people in charge applauded, praising the freshman named Luo Xiyao.

Ning Yao was a little embarrassed. She felt that her performance still had flaws and thought it wouldn't meet Director Guo's approval.

"Go on out. I'll send someone to pick you up from school in a few days. We'll take you to try on clothes and work with Shu Jing'an to make the promotional posters for the TV series." Director Guo looked down and took out Ning Yao's information, then marked the end with a red checkmark of satisfaction.

"Director Guo, I'd like to try and get a chance for my roommate. Are you selecting a female character from the 70s or 80s today? I think my roommate would be perfect for it." Ning Yao took the opportunity to help Xin Yujue secure a performance spot.

If you succeed, great; if you don't, it's okay. It's still an extra opportunity. If you just leave without trying, you'll end up with nothing.

"How did you know I was looking for a role like this?" Director Guo raised an eyebrow at Ning Yao, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

His gaze swept over several people in charge, and they all felt a chill run down their spines, inwardly crying out that they were innocent.

They've never told anyone about the script's contents, not even a single word. They have no idea how this girl found out.

"I heard what the girls who came out of the queue said." Ning Yao smiled, not taking Director Guo's seriousness seriously at all. She had been navigating the business world for five years and had seen the world. She wasn't afraid of a famous director.

"They specifically said that I want this kind of role?" Director Guo questioned, not believing Ning Yao's words.

“No, it’s their dance steps and movements that remind me of women from the 70s and 80s,” Ning Yao replied.

"I see." Director Guo was relieved, then looked up at Ning Yao, his eyes full of deep meaning.

"Why doesn't your roommate come to the audition herself? Why do you have to help her get a chance? Isn't she proactive enough?"

"She is introverted and made a mistake, so she was a little embarrassed."

"Oh? What mistake did you make?"

Ning Yao told Xin Yujue the truth about her situation. There was no point in hiding it. Director Guo would also find out about Xin Yujue's past decision to give up a role through other means.

"Let her come in and give it a try," Director Guo relented.

Ning Yao was overjoyed and immediately left the room to tell Xin Yujue the good news, urging her to come in for the audition.

"Me?" Xin Yujue was a little uncertain. She raised her finger to her nose, but didn't control the distance well and poked the tip of her nose.

"Hurry up and go in. After the audition, we'll go out for a nice meal. It's on me." Ning Yao smiled and nudged Xin Yujue's shoulder, gesturing for her to hurry in for the audition. Director Guo was still waiting.

Xin Yujue wondered how Director Guo knew about her; this audition opportunity was most likely secured for her by Luo Xiyao.

Feeling grateful, Xin Yujue turned and went into the audition room. She couldn't let Luo Xiyao down!

Miao Yuliu had to take her car to a repair shop after it broke down before she hurriedly hailed a taxi. She arrived almost forty minutes later than Ning Yao and was panting heavily from exhaustion.

As soon as she arrived at the audition location, she saw Ning Yao and two others. As soon as Ning Yao came out, Xin Yujue was quickly pushed and shoved into the audition.

Why did Xin Yujue get the audition opportunity? She gave it up voluntarily. Does Director Guo know about this?

Miao Yuliu, who was looking for a place to vent her anger, scoffed and quickly ran to the door of the audition room. She shoved Cui Mengmeng's shoulder hard and darted past her like the wind.

"Who is it, so reckless? Didn't you see you bumped into someone? And you didn't even apologize!" Cui Mengmeng turned around angrily, and the moment she saw Miao Yuliu, she understood.

This woman was frustrated and had nowhere to vent her anger; most likely, she deliberately bumped into him.

However, after Cui Mengmeng realized that the other party was Miao Yuliu, she was no longer angry. The victor is king, and the loser is villain. What is there to be proud of in a defeated opponent?

Miao Yuliu ignored Cui Mengmeng and Ning Yao, bypassed them, and started shouting loudly at the entrance without even knocking.

"Director Guo, this woman is not qualified to audition. I'm going to report her!"
