Zhou Da glanced at Guoguo twice, then at Ling Zhenfei twice.

He nodded and said to Chu Bingqing, "The two people you recommended this time seem pretty good. The girl appears delicate, the guy full of righteousness. Not bad at all."

Chu Bingqing was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Director Zhou, you've misunderstood. The one I recommended is this girl, the other person isn't an actor."

Zhou Da was slightly surprised and looked at Ling Zhenfei, saying, "It's a pity you're not an actor. You have a dashing look and a righteous aura. If you have the chance, consider a career in the film industry."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Director Zhou, you're flattering me. I'm just here to accompany my sister for her audition today. If you think she's okay, please give her a chance to learn from the experience."

Director Zhou nodded and said, "Sure, sure, let's do a quick audition then."

Guoguo was a bit nervous, but she had plenty of experience at the Film Academy, so she quickly composed herself.

Zhou Da casually picked a piece of script, gave some character instructions, and let Guoguo start performing. Since it was an audition, Ling Zhenfei could only watch from afar.

Zhou Da watched Guoguo's performance and kept nodding, clearly very satisfied. But suddenly, he saw Brother Liu approach by his side and say a few words.

After listening, Zhou Da's face darkened instantly, then shouted at Guoguo, "Alright, stop. What is this performance? Even claiming to be a Film Academy graduate, who are you fooling? Were you thinking about dating all the time while studying acting?"

Zhou Da's words left Chu Bingqing baffled because she felt Guoguo acted quite well and couldn't understand why Zhou Da got so angry.

Guoguo was frightened too, hurriedly returned to Ling Zhenfei's side. Of course, Ling Zhenfei knew what was happening; it was definitely Brother Liu whispering something to Zhou Da, which led to Zhou Da's outburst.

There was no way around it, Director Zhou was in charge on set. Whatever he says goes, and Ling Zhenfei was really depressed. Who'd have thought the kid named Liu met last night would have this sort of relationship with Zhou Da.

And today's director just happened to be Zhou Da; what a coincidence, but there's no way around it.

Chu Bingqing went to Zhou Da's side and said, "Director Zhou, what's the matter? I thought the performance was alright."

Zhou Da snorted coldly, "What's alright or not? I only choose people I believe in. Sorry, she doesn't meet my standards; let her go."

Ling Zhenfei glanced from afar and saw Brother Liu sneering at him, clearly causing trouble.

Actually, even if Zhou Da had hired Guoguo, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't necessarily let Guoguo stay here with someone like Brother Liu around; he couldn't rest easy.

Chu Bingqing was also helpless, saying to Ling Zhenfei, "I don't know what's wrong with Director Zhou, he wasn't like this before."

Ling Zhenfei said, "No worries, there will be opportunities in the future. As long as Guoguo proves herself, there won't be any issues."

"Why not let Guoguo play an extra for now? With my support, she should be able to move ahead." Chu Bingqing genuinely felt bad about it.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "It's okay, let's wait for another opportunity in the future."

"Alright, why don't you explore around for now, I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Chu Bingqing said.

"Okay, we'll head out now."

After saying that, Ling Zhenfei led Guoguo outside, Guoguo's face looking bad, obviously blaming herself.

"Brother, I'm sorry, my performance was poor, I embarrassed you."

Ling Zhenfei patted Guoguo's head and said, "You performed very well, it's just that Zhou Da is Liu's uncle, he wouldn't let you pass. So, it's not your fault."

"Really? Then what should we do next?" Guoguo asked.

"No problem, take it step by step. There are many directors in China, surely one will appreciate you." Ling Zhenfei said, leading Guoguo outside.

But Ling Zhenfei felt that since they spent money at the film base, they should explore more, so he led Guoguo to wander around.

This place wasn't just a film base; it was also a large scenic area with all sorts of sights.

At this moment, they saw a place ahead crowded with people, so Ling Zhenfei and Guoguo ran over to take a look, realizing from afar that there was a crew filming.

Through the chatter of onlookers, Ling Zhenfei grasped why there were so many people around.

Turns out they were filming an ancient fantasy drama here, with the male lead named Han Ge, currently the hottest actor in the entertainment circle. Because of his handsome looks and good character, he has many fans.

The fans were gathered here just to get a glimpse of Han Ge from afar. As it was hard to see clearly from a distance, Ling Zhenfei and Guoguo watched for a while before moving on to other sights.

After wandering around the film base for a while, they left, as it was too large to cover in one day.

Ling Zhenfei and Guoguo returned to the hotel; at this time, He Lingxiu and Jiang Hui had also returned, bringing some food and buying new clothes for Ling Zhenfei.

They were surprised to learn Guoguo didn't pass the audition, but were even angrier after hearing Ling Zhenfei explain the reason.

Jiang Hui said, "Guoguo, I think you should give up movie-making and work with our Chairman. Isn't there anything you want later?"

Guoguo didn't know what to say; in this aspect, Jiang Hui was much stronger than Guoguo.

"Don't think too much, I'll leave tomorrow and find you another way."

Ling Zhenfei knows stars like Chu Bingqing, Li Yuetong, Ji Mei, Xu Yuyu; whoever doesn't know a few directors, just recommend a few times and it shouldn't be a problem.

In the evening, when it was almost dinner time, Chu Bingqing called.

On the phone, Chu Bingqing was still very apologetic and arranged to meet at a place for dinner with Ling Zhenfei.

After agreeing, Ling Zhenfei took the three girls and headed to the hotel where Chu Bingqing had arranged.

The hotel Chu Bingqing had chosen was very elegant. Though not very large, it was exquisite, surrounded by various flowers and plants and very particular.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, they mentioned the name, and a waiter led Ling Zhenfei and the others to a private room where Chu Bingqing was already waiting.

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats; Ling Zhenfei sat next to Chu Bingqing.

Chu Bingqing's eyes kept wandering over Jiang Hui and the others; Jiang Hui, He Lingxiu, and Guoguo were all beauties. Ling Zhenfei going out with three beauties couldn't help but make Chu Bingqing wonder.

She was very curious about Ling Zhenfei's relationship with these three women, as he'd just introduced them to her.
