Chapter 25: She Also Wants to Be a Star?

Qin Zi Mo's crew on this drama was about to die laughing; who would have thought they'd not only escape any trouble, but also turn a misfortune into a boon!

Song Huan Yan added, "My requirement for this drama is that this year's Best Actor must still be Mr. Qin. And Miss Qiao…"

Song Huan Yan looked at Qiao An.

Qiao An became inexplicably nervous.

Song Huan Yan continued, "This year should also claim the Best Actress title, focusing on cultivating her as the company's top leading lady. The two of you, as the drama's leads, must take on endorsements for international big brands. Afterwards, I want them to collaborate on an international project."

Everyone was stunned by Song Huan Yan's words.

Song Huan Yan said calmly, "The company has been founded for two years; that's not short. If we don't produce some results soon, it will look bad. So this year's goal is to make the two of you become the company's benchmark, the industry's benchmark. That's good for the company. As your fame soars, the company's reputation will also soar, and everyone will share the glory."

The company and its employees have always complemented each other.

Qin Zi Mo has two consecutive Best Actor reputations, and a massive fan base.

Qiao An's cute appearance is highly recognizable, she also has many fans; combined with the previous groundwork and the focus of this drama, she gains extra boost.

The two currently indeed possess the qualifications to be heavily promoted.

As Song Huan Yan said, once the two stand on the international stage, the company will also rise several tiers and can directly rival major domestic Entertainment Circle companies.

Qiao An and Qin Zi Mo were both knocked dizzy by the big promise.

Li Zihang and Qin Jiao Jiao also felt honored.

The crew of this drama was ecstatic to death.

But the other crews were not pleased, though there was nothing they could do; after all, Song Huan Yan is the capital.

Li Zihang, thinking that they would become an international agent in the future, instantly lit up with a flushed face, clapped and cheered, "President Song truly lives up to being the Song Family Heiress; such a grand vision commands respect!"

Qin Jiao Jiao also said excitedly, "Thank you, President Song, for your clear separation of public and private! Indeed my brother didn't love the wrong person! President Song is truly the world's best woman. I hope my brother can quickly earn President Song's forgiveness and become the Entertainment Circle's enviable golden couple!"

Song Huan Yan gave no reply, only raised a cool eyebrow and stared.

Li Zihang sang in harmony with her, "Jiao Jiao, President Song and big brother will definitely reconcile soon! They've been in love so long, deeply devoted, their love is stronger than gold. It's just a little quarrel, a couple's pastime."

Qin Jiao Jiao nodded wildly, as if she also saw her limitless glory.

And Qin Zi Mo was once again knocked dizzy by the cake that Qin Jiao Jiao painted.

Jiao Jiao and Zihang were right!

Song Huan Yan not only didn't single him out, but also praised him even more.

This shows that Song Huan Yan loves him to his very bones!

Song Huan Yan looked at Qin Zi Mo and Qiao An, "Do you two have any objections to my arrangement?"

Qin Zi Mo and Qiao An immediately shook their heads in unison, "No!"

Qin Zi Mo looked at Song Huan Yan with deep, excited emotion, "Yan Yan, with such generous love I will certainly not disappoint!"

He had tears in his eyes; at that moment he was truly moved.

Song Huan Yan remained cool and gave no reply.

Qiao An hurriedly said, "Thank you, President Song, I will certainly live up to everyone's expectations!"

Inside, Qiao An was even more excited; Song Huan Yan, that fool, wants to elevate her to International Superstar.

That's something the Qiao Family cannot achieve, nor can she accomplish it solely with effort, acting skill, and looks.

It requires strong capital, operational handling, and dedication.

Song Huan Yan finally gave a light nod, "Both of you work harder."

Qin Zi Mo and Qiao An nodded wildly.

The crew of this drama immediately congratulated the two, while the other crews gave forced smiles.

The conference hall became lively for a moment.

Qin Jiao Jiao was very excited; when she first came to the company, Song Huan Yan only assigned her to front desk reception, which she had always been dissatisfied with.

Now Song Huan Yan was probably provoked by Qiao An, and actually decided to increase investment for her brother; could she also…?

"President Song!" Qin Jiao Jiao suddenly exclaimed, "Can you… can you let me act? I also want to be an actress, want to be a star!"

When Qin Jiao Jiao said that, the once lively conference hall suddenly fell silent…

What to say…

Many who graduated from professional acting programs, possessing both skill and looks, are still stuck in supporting roles.

Qin Jiao Jiao, someone who doesn't even know what acting is, actually says she wants to act and become a star?

Isn't that enough to make people laugh their heads off.

The conference hall immediately fell into an eerie silence, everyone looking at Qin Jiao Jiao as if she were a fool.

But Qin Jiao Jiao was oblivious, only looking at Song Huan Yan with excitement.

In her view, as long as Song Huan Yan agrees, there's no problem!

Qin Zi Mo snapped back to his senses and scolded, "What kind of drama would you act in? Can you do it? Can you deliver lines well? Do you know how to find the camera?"

Li Zihang also said, "Jiao Jiao, what nonsense are you spouting, you're already… a mother."

Qin Jiao Jiao was a poor student; she dropped out before finishing high school, then fell in love with Li Zihang, married, and had children.

When she became pregnant, she was still under the legal marriage age.

But in her rural hometown, it didn't matter; a wedding banquet made them husband and wife.

The couple only obtained a Marriage Certificate after the child was born and they reached the proper age.

Given those circumstances, Qin Jiao Jiao says she wants to become a star…

When Li Zihang said that, many young female artists burst into laughter.

Being mocked, Qin Jiao Jiao instantly became displeased, grabbed Li Zihang and pinched him, "I have a child and I'm still young! Isn't it you who delayed me? How can you say that?"

Li Zihang fell silent.

Qin Zi Mo said, "Enough, stop messing around. This is a company meeting; behave properly."

Qin Zi Mo felt mortified.

Qin Jiao Jiao retorted, "Brother, we share the same mother. If you can become the top actor, I'm no less! Back then, if it weren't for supporting you…"

"Shut up!" Qin Zi Mo was almost knocked unconscious by Qin Jiao Jiao's unfiltered words, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

As for this, how should I put it, he thought it wasn't honorable at all.

Song Huan Yan looked on with a cold gaze and said, "Let her speak."

Qin Zi Mo could only release Qin Jiao Jiao, but Qin Jiao Jiao didn't continue; instead she said, "Sister‑in‑law, I mean, President Song, do you think I'm capable? I really want to become a star, and I believe I have all the qualifications!"

When the time comes, we'll create some hype by saying she's Qin Yingdi's sister, and Qin Zi Mo's fans will definitely give strong support!

Especially Qin Zi Mo's wife fans; they might even go out of their way to flatter and curry favor with her!

Song Huan Yan pressed her lips together and did not answer immediately.

Qin Jiao Jiao said, "Anyway, whoever you support is still support, right? As long as there's capital, anyone can rise! We'll be family from now on, okay, sister‑in‑law?"

Qin Jiao Jiao, getting excited, started shouting again.

But actually Qin Jiao Jiao was pretending; she wasn't shouting randomly, but using that address to try to move Song Huan Yan.

However, the other artists were not pleased.

Before Song Huan Yan could speak, someone said, "Qin Front Desk, although you and Qin Yingdi are siblings and have capital that flatters President Song, this is just too absurd, isn't it? You don't even know the basics of acting, yet you want to be a star?"

"Exactly. You already have kids, who would want to fan a mother!"

"Although capital is all‑powerful, Qin Front Desk, speaking so openly at a company meeting in front of so many professionals, aren't you looking down on people too much?"

"And your looks are average… forcing yourself into a supporting role is barely passable."
