Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Amin or Amin?
If she can’t get the endorsement deal, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
She came here just to secure the endorsement for National Beauty, for the lucrative endorsement fee.
If Lu Qing hadn’t said that she couldn’t stay in the company dorms for long, she wouldn’t be planning for the future now.
Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have bothered with this trip.
Having food, drink, and a place to stay, isn’t that nice? Why go out of your way to suffer?
Unfortunately, bad news suddenly struck.
She didn’t want to wander around anymore, barely getting by.
She had to work hard to change all this.
These words, A-min didn’t say out loud.
She’s not ungrateful; she knows that everything Lu Qing does now is for her own good.
Time slipped away unnoticed.
After two hours, it was finally A-min’s turn to audition.
Lu Qing personally escorted her to the audition room door.
He gazed deeply at A-min, his face involuntarily twitching, a subtle response to nervous tension.
"A-min, do your best!"
With countless words of advice at the tip of his tongue, knowing that A-min is supposedly easy-going but in truth unambitious, he condensed it all to just this one sentence.
A-min noticed his nervousness, amused yet helpless: "I know, don’t be nervous."
"Who said I’m nervous!" Lu Qing’s voice rose slightly, yet he was clearly nervous.
Once the words left his mouth, he realized his voice was too loud, drawing the attention of those around him.
Lu Qing gave a dry cough and lowered his voice, saying to A-min, "Go on in."
A-min nodded, and slowly pushed open the door in front of her.
Gu Jiajie, sitting in the center of the row of people, was discussing with Cheng Shi’en about the previous auditionee when they heard the door open, both turning to look at A-min.
The others present also turned to look at A-min.
With just one look, A-min’s unique and profound foreign features captivated them.
This girl was beautiful, her exotic allure truly magnetic.
A-min immediately saw Gu Jiajie sitting in the center of the row, wearing a black suit with sharp facial features and a stern expression.
Upon seeing his appearance, a sudden sharp pain struck her mind, causing inexplicable heartache deep inside.
This indescribable feeling left her unbearably saddened.
At that moment, Gu Jiajie’s calm demeanor changed upon seeing A-min.
He stared into A-min’s eyes, a flicker of astonishment appearing in his eyes.
That pair of clear, bright eyes was too familiar, familiar enough to remind him of Minmin.
Yet her exotic, deep features were entirely unfamiliar to him.
No matter how similar those eyes were, she was ultimately not a familiar face.
Gu Jiajie’s hand resting on the table involuntarily clenched into a fist, and his lips pressed tightly together.
He seemed to be restraining himself with great effort.
Their gazes met in the void, neither willing to look away first.
This scene struck onlookers as something slightly off.
A-min clutched the door, her face pale from the aftereffects of the sharp pain.
As the pain gradually subsided, her eyes remained fixed on Gu Jiajie, seated at the center.
Though they were strangers, the strange feeling welling up inside her at the sight of him left her mind in turmoil.
Who is he?
Why does seeing him cause her such pain?
Especially seeing the sadness in his eyes, she felt an overwhelming urge to cry.
Time seemed to freeze in place.
Finally, Cheng Shi’en broke the eerie silence, holding A-min’s information, asking: "Your name is A-min, right?"
A-min?
Hearing this name, Gu Jiajie suddenly lowered his head.
He picked up the file belonging to A-min at his side.
