Chapter 36: Concentrate On Yourself

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, Leng Rongrong surprised everyone present.

Leng Qingqing had not expected that even without the costume and makeup on, Leng Rongrong would be able to show such an intimidating air.

She had thought that a wild kid from the countryside would not be so impressive.

But just in the second attempt, she turned out to be so amazing that everyone around was affected, as if she had pulled them into the story with her voice.

Leng Qingqing bit her lips and muttered to herself. “She just got lucky.”

Leng Rongrong raised her eyebrows and looked at Leng Qingqing. “Your turn to show me your acting.”

When Leng Qingqing was reading the lines, she was way worse than Leng Rongrong’s first attempt.

Leng Qingqing might be an okay actress on a stand alone basis. But in contrast against Leng Rongrong, her shortcomings came sharply into focus.

Everyone in the room could tell the difference, but not everyone was as annoying as Leng Qingqing by pointing it out.

They noticed her level of acting but didn’t say anything.

Leng Qingqing stomped her feet in embarrassment and laughed dryly. “Sorry, I wasn’t ready yet.”

She received meaningful glances from across the table, as if chastising her for the shamelessness shown by her earlier while commenting on Leng Rongrong.

The script reading continued.

Apart from her first failed attempt, Leng Rongrong continued to perform beautifully and kept everyone immersed into the scenes effortlessly.

Even Jin Mingfeng was quite surprised. Leng Rongrong was, after all, a newbie but her performance skills were just amazing. She could affect the people’s mood around her!

It could be seen clearly that Leng Rongrong was able to influence the atmosphere in the room during the following hours.

Most of her scenes required fluctuating emotions. There was one tough scene where tears rolled down her cheeks naturally. She had become one with the character.

The director and the producer exchanged a look between themselves and nodded.

Both of them felt that despite the lack of experience, Leng Rongrong turned out to be even more amazing than many professionally trained actresses. She was not only a good actress, but was also able to help enhance the performance of everyone around her.

That was something which only very experienced actors could pull off. For young actors, it was enough that they could manage their own performance well.

Only veteran actors were able to cast influence upon the actors around. But Leng Rongrong was able to do this already.

When her tears fell, everyone felt their heart getting gripped in pain.

By the end of the session, everyone said that Leng Rongrong had put out a perfect show.

“It is just script reading today. Performing in front of the camera is an entirely different ball game. Newbies won’t even be able to find where the camera is.” Leng Qingqing snapped.

“Senior Leng Qingqing, I will probably have to turn to you for tips then.” Leng Rongrong blinked at Leng Qingqing purposefully.

It sounded like a sincere request but she was just mocking Leng Qingqing.

As a senior, this girl turned out to be much worse than a newbie!

Leng Qingqing could hear the scorn in Leng Rongrong’s words, so could everyone else. She clenched her teeth in anger but could not come up with a counterattack.

Leng Rongrong sat at the same table as Jin Mingfeng and the director for lunch while Leng Qingqing was relegated to a table with other insignificant artists. She got annoyed seeing Leng Rongrong chatting happily with Jin Mingfeng and the others.

Damn her! How dare she!

Leng Qingqing spread a few bad things about Leng Rongrong amongst the supporting actors around her.

In the afternoon, the reading continued. Leng Rongrong had been doing steadily well and because of her excellent performance, everyone else was also inspired to perform well.

As the day came to the end, Leng Rongrong was about to leave when Jin Mingfeng walked up to her. He asked her if she needed a lift home.

“No thanks, I can drive back myself.”

Jin Mingfeng said, “Rongrong, are you truly a newbie? You are so good at your work.”

Leng Rongrong smiled at him and said, “Maybe it’s beginner’s luck. Mr. Jin, my car is there, I will take your leave now.”

When Leng Rongrong reached the car, she spotted Leng Qingqing whose car was parked next to hers.

Leng Qingqing glared at her. “Leng Rongrong, just wait and see. Don’t get complacent about your first day. It won’t be smooth sailing when the real filming starts. You are going to get totally trashed when that time comes.”

“Oh, we can talk about it at that time.” Leng Rongrong shrugged as she threw a look at Leng Qingqing.

“You are not even qualified to talk about my performance though. You read your lines so terribly today. If I were you, I would work hard on my own skills rather than worrying about others.”

Leng Qingqing shouted in anger. “Stop being so arrogant!”

Leng Rongrong got into the car, ignoring Leng Qingqing. The next second, she thought of something and said to Leng Qingqing, “Oh, tell Leng Guantang not to forget about my house deed. I will be waiting for the papers at home!”

Having said the words, Leng Rongrong drove away.

Leng Rongrong, just wait and see. I will not let you live in peace!

At the villa.

Leng Rongrong parked the car and Storm immediately came running towards her. He rubbed his head against her, licking her palm excitedly.

“Madam, finally you are home. I have just planted some flowers. What do you think?” Beautiful Li was wearing an apron and a bamboo hat on his head, looking very funny.

There were a lot of flowers in the garden. He had done a great job.

“Good.”

Then, Leng Rongrong asked him. “Did anyone come to deliver something?”

“Nope.” Beautiful Li shook his head.

“He isn’t here yet.” Leng Rongrong shrugged. “Should I make a call to stress him out?”

She could not wait to get her mother’s house back.

With Mo Linyuan and Tang Luo not in the house, Leng Rongrong felt a bit bored. So, she played with Storm in the yard.

As the day turned into evening, Leng Rongrong heard a car approaching. She went to the yard curiously.

Storm stood next to her patiently.

Sitting in the car, Mo Linyuan and Tang Luo saw Leng Rongrong and Storm waiting for them.

Seeing Leng Rongrong, Tang Luo asked Mo Linyuan with a smile. “Master, does it feel good to have a wife waiting for you when you return home?”
