Just as the two of them were about to leave the audition venue, a popular actress who had already finished her audition walked over.

She sized up Mi Rui and Sister Ning arrogantly and sneered in disdain. “In my opinion, this Star Brilliance is really kind-hearted. They’re willing to give anyone a chance, but they should check if some people are worth this opportunity.”

A trace of anger flashed across Mi Rui’s eyes. Just as she was about to retort like before, she suddenly thought of the current situation. She pursed her lips and pulled Sister Ning away.

The popular idol gave her assistant a look, and the assistant stood in front of Mi Rui and Sister Ning, not letting them leave.

“Why are you leaving so soon? i haven’t even caught up with Sister Mi yet! I want to treat Sister Mi to a meal. I wonder if Sister Mi is willing to give me this chance this time.”

Mi Rui didn’t want to blow things up, but she also didn’t want to be constantly ridiculed. Sister Ning shielded Mi Rui behind her and looked at the person in front of her coldly.

“Li Jiang, take a good look at where we are. If this matter blows up, it won’t be good for anyone!”

Mi Rui had arrived late and was considered the last audition. However, there were still some actresses around who had not left. They had been carefully surveying the situation here.

However, they had seen too many situations like this in the industry, so they only watched from the sidelines. They had no intention of stepping forward to help at all. They even vaguely showed that they wanted to see Mi Rui make a fool of herself.

“Of course 1 know where this is,” Li Jiang said disdainfully. “I think you’re the one who can’t figure out the situation. Don’t you know your relationship with Star Brilliance? You still want to get involved with Star Brilliance. Why don’t you take a look at what you’ve done previously?”

When Mi Rui heard this, the anger in her heart could no longer burn, as if she had been poured withice water from head to toe.

She lowered her head. Seeing that Sister Ning was about to say something, she hurriedly pulled Sister Ning’s hand.

They couldn’t afford to offend Li Jiang now. They might as well let Li Jiang finish mocking them as soon as possible so that they could leave. If the people from Star Brilliance found out that this commotion was caused by them, their impression of them would probably be even worse.

And whatever Mi Rui was worried about came true.

Just as she was confronting Li Jiang, the door of the audition room was opened, and the director walked out with Gu Xiao and the others.

Those who had yet to leave looked at Mi Rui as if they were watching a good show, then greeted Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao walked up to Mi Rui and Li Jiang and stopped in her tracks. She glanced sideways. “What happened?”

When Li Jiang saw that it was Gu Xiao, she no longer looked as arrogant as before. A flattering smile instantly appeared on her face.

“It’s like this, President Gu. I had some interactions with Sister Mi before, so when we met just now, Sister Mi stopped me and wanted to chat. I’m very sorry to disturb President Gu.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiao looked at Li Jiang meaningfully, then at Mi Rui. Her tone was a little strange. “Is that so?”

“Yes, yes. I’m really sorry to disturb you because of this. However, it’s also because of Sister Mi’s current situation… I can only do what I can on my side.” Li Jiang spoke first before Mi Rui could speak.

A strange look flashed across the eyes of the onlookers, but no one stood up to explain for Mi Rui.

Mi Rui only glanced at the others present and knew what they were planning.

However, it made sense. Li Jiang was much more popular than her now. It was not the time when she was suppressed by her previously. Coupled with the matter between her and Star Brilliance, it was naturally better for the others to avoid trouble. Naturally, they would not say much.

As for Li Jiang, she probably wouldn’t be able to survive in this industry for too long with this kind of intelligence.

Mi Rui looked straight at Gu Xiao, feeling a little guilty. However, she still explained to Gu Xiao, “President Gu, I’m not familiar with Li Jiang, and I’ve never thought of disturbing the peace of the auditions.”

When Gu Xiao heard this, she nodded. “The audition is over. Leave as soon as possible.”

After saying that, she left with the director and the others. Chu An followed beside Gu Xiao and gave Li Jiang a meaningful look before following without looking back.

Li Jiang didn’t expect Gu Xiao to have no reaction to this. After all, in her imagination, Gu Xiao would definitely use this opportunity to further suppress Mi Rui.

Then she could rest easy forever and not worry that Mi Rui would climb up and step on her head again.

But now… Li Jiang glanced at Mi Rui’s back, and a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes..
