Mr Fu, I Really Love You

“That’s right! Su Manman is so pretty! Her beauty could make others kneel at her feet. Even the foreign media acknowledged it and called her a femme fatale! In addition to that, her acting skills are excellent. Why would she imitate the former movie queen, Jiang Mingzhu?”

“Aiyoh! The makeup artist who backstabbed her must be so arrogant because she used to work for Jiang Mingzhu! Think about it… she’s not a movie queen, and only her former boss was a movie queen. What’s there to be proud of? No matter how impressive she is, she’s someone who receives a salary for a living!”

Yang Weiyi stood at the door with the water bottle in her hands, feeling a mix of emotions.

She forgot about fetching hot water and just sat on the bench, wondering what she would do if Su Manman really fired her.

She needed the money for her mother’s hospitalization. No one else would give her such a high salary like Su Manman.

But was she going to continue staying by Su Manman’s side shamelessly?

Yang Weiyi bit her lip. Su Manman had contacted her the other day, after the audition for her new movie, but it had been a few days since she last called.

Su Manman probably wanted to fire her!

Yang Weiyi took a deep breath.

She would not sit around and wait for Su Manman to fire her. Before that happened, she might as well resign from the job herself!

She then had to hurry and find another job. Her mother was still hospitalized, and she had no time to waste!

With this thought, Yang Weiyi dialed Su Manman’s number.

The call went through, and Yang Weiyi explained her intention to Su Manman.

She said that since rumors about her were going around… Su Manman might as well just fire her.

Su Manman was flipping through the script, not stopping her actions as she replied to Yang Weixi, “So, the rumors about you writing the post and stabbing me in the back have been circling around. And you’re just going to resign and look for another job? Aren’t you afraid it would only confirm other people’s suspicion that you wrote the post?”

Yang Weiyi opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But her throat seemed to be gripped tightly by a large hand, not allowing her to utter a single word.

Hearing no response from Yang Weiyi, Su Manman continued, “You believe that once someone retains you, no matter who you work for… you simply need to stay loyal to your previous boss. Who would dare use you in such a situation? Shi Hanchu?”

How could she not know this…

“If you want to resign, I won’t stop you. But do it after a year and a half. If you still want to resign then, I won’t stop you!” Su Manman said.

Yang Weiyi’s nostrils flared, and her heart suddenly ached. She asked, “Why… are you helping me like this?”

“I’m not helping you, I’m helping your mother!” Su Manman said calmly to Yang Weiyi on the other end of the line. “If you really regret what you’ve done and feel apologetic to me, then show me what you’re capable of. In the next production, do your job well as my makeup artist!”

Yang Weiyi remained silent and couldn’t stop crying.

Only after Su Manman told her she wanted to focus on her script that Yang Weiyi hung up.

Su Manman put down her phone and frowned slightly. She set the phone aside and continued reading her script in peace.

Her audition was tomorrow. She didn’t have the time to be disturbed by anything. She needed to study the script well.

When Su Manman went for the audition the next day, she hadn’t expected others would be accompanying Director Chen Wenhua at the audition site. Several famous directors in the industry were there.

Su Manman greeted them in a daze…

Su Manman had worked with these directors in her previous life. They were all big names in the entertainment industry.

They all sat opposite Su Manman as they watched her try out the scenes…

Su Manman had excellent mental fortitude. When the director gave Su Manman two scenes to act out, Su Manman only calmly took a look.

One scene was for the first personality. The other one was for the second personality.

Director Chen had chosen very cleverly. Both scenes were challenging ones that required excellent acting skills.

Director Chen Wenhua said to Su Manman, “Shi Hanchu told me you’re a rare gem when it comes to acting… That you’re an actress who could make him give his all when he was acting with you. He said your acting skills are on par with those of the late movie queen, Jiang Mingzhu. Then, let us see… are you really as outstanding as Shi Hanchu said? I’ll give you ten minutes to familiarize yourself with these scenes…”

Su Manman started to study the two scenes. After only five minutes, she told the director that she was ready.

“Your ten minutes is not up yet. You still have five minutes…” Chen Wenhua said.

“I’ve already memorized the script, especially these two parts… I had the feeling you might use these parts to test my acting skills because they’re the most challenging ones. So, I’m already prepared!” Su Manman placed the script back on the table and smiled confidently.

While Su Manman was auditioning inside, Dong Dong was biting her fingernails, anxiously waiting outside.

A few minutes later, Tu Jie arrived…

“How is it? Did she just enter?” asked Tu Jie.

Tu Jie had especially agreed to accompany Su Manman for the audition, but it seemed like everything else was against him that day. His car suddenly broke down midway, and when he took a cab, the traffic was a complete mess, so he arrived there late.

Because of the series of unfortunate events, Tu Jie had a bad premonition. He was afraid that something would go wrong with Su Manman’s audition.

As a manager who had been in the industry for years, Tu Jie was very well aware of the importance of this audition. If Su Manman could clinch the opportunity to collaborate with Director Chen Wenhua, she would undoubtedly have a bright future ahead. Perhaps she could become the next Jiang Mingzhu. No, she could even surpass Jiang Mingzhu.

After Jiang Mingzhu’s passing, there hadn’t been any actress that was as outstanding as Jiang Mingzhu.

Tu Jie had high hopes for Su Manman.

Su Manman emerged from the door an hour later…

Tu Jie immediately got up. He saw Su Manman as though she had just experienced great joy and sorrow. Her eyes and nose were still red.

Tu Jie didn’t have the time to ask Su Manman about her condition. He only reached out and patted her shoulder before he hurriedly went in to ask Director Chen Wenhua about the results.

Dong dong hurriedly handed Su Manman a wet tissue. “Manman, how was it?”

Su Manman wiped her eyes with a wet tissue and smiled. “If nothing else goes wrong, I should have this role in my pocket!”

Dong dong was so surprised that she nearly jumped up. “Really… really?”

Su Manman nodded.

“That’s great!” Dong dong’s eyes lit up. “All actors who have worked with Director Chen Wenhua are candidates for an award! Manman… after working with Director Chen Wenhua, your net worth will definitely increase a hundred times higher! You’ll definitely win the Best Actress award!”

Su Manman looked calm and composed as she smiled at Dong Dong.

She knew that once Director Chen Wenhua’s legendary universe was established, it would push their film industry to a whole new level.

As an actress who had once stood at the top of the industry, Su Manman didn’t care if she was like her previous incarnation, worth a hundred times more than her present self…
