Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 283 You don't understand, is that the Human Chapter?

"Teacher Zhao, what a coincidence!"

Ning Yao, being the younger generation, naturally greeted Zhao Xiaojing upon seeing her.

Regardless of whether the other party is a human or a dog, one must still show proper manners; this is a principle that Ning Yao's mother taught her.

Zhao Xiaojing seemed surprised to see Ning Yao at Xingji Entertainment, and her face immediately darkened.

Zhao Xiaojing was furious when she thought about the actress who had just been announced online.

This Luo Xiyao is exactly the same as Luo Xiyun back then. She has incredible luck, all thanks to her captivating face.

"Congratulations, Luo Xiyao, you've crushed another ordinary girl with no one to back you up." Zhao Xiaojing's tone was particularly sarcastic, as if she had also added her own feelings of resentment towards Luo Xiyun.

"You're wrong. The lead actress spot originally belonged to me. Starry Sky Entertainment has already made a public announcement on official media. There's been a mistake. How can you slander me with baseless accusations?" Ning Yao smiled and retorted to Zhao Xiaojing without any politeness.

"Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see clearly who has the powerful backing."

"So what if someone has connections? Connections are also a form of capital. Only the weak would use the word 'connections' to belittle others."

"If you're truly a piece of gold, you'll shine no matter where you throw you. Some people, since their debut, have had any memorable roles other than that one barely passable work?"

"Instead of relying on your seniority and bossing around younger generations, you should enroll in more acting classes and learn how to act and improve yourself. Mr. Zhao, don't you agree?"

Ning Yao was elegant and languid, speaking without even breaking a sweat, displaying remarkable charisma that left Cui Mengmeng speechless.

She never knew that her Yao Yao had such great offensive power. Had she been hiding her true strength before?

Zhao Xiaojing's face grew increasingly grim because of Ning Yao's words; her chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that she was quite angry.

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Ning Yao nodded slightly to Zhao Xiaojing, her smile remaining faint as she walked out of the elevator with ease.

Cui Mengmeng didn't realize it yet, because this wasn't the floor they were going to; they hadn't arrived there yet.

Seeing that Ning Yao had gone out, she had no choice but to follow and also walk out of the elevator.

Ning Yao stepped out of the elevator and turned around gracefully, facing the inner floor of the elevator.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing? We're not there yet," Cui Mengmeng asked, puzzled.

"Don't you think there's a weird smell in the elevator? It smells like spilled old vinegar, sour and rotten. Let's wait for the next elevator."

Ning Yao raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, a sly glint in her eyes, and a slight upturn of her lips, her smile particularly cunning.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaojing and the others had not yet left. When Zhao Xiaojing heard this, her face, which was covered with heavy foundation, immediately cracked.

Ning Yao was unaware that her actions had been recorded by the elevator staff and quickly taken to Tang Xiaoge's office.

With the footage from the elevator's surveillance equipment, Tang Xiaoge burst into laughter.

This little girl is really interesting.

No wonder Ning Duoduo, with her personality, would speak up for this little girl.

But what is the relationship between this young girl and Wen Tingye? Is it really as the internet says, that Wen Tingye is just her fan?

Or perhaps she has a powerful backer?

"Does Zhao Xiaojing have some kind of grudge against Luo Xiyao?" Tang Xiaoge was only distracted for a short while before quickly returning to the main topic.

"I don't know about that, but they used to work on the same film crew."

"Is that the one in the palm of your hand?"

"Yes, that's right. Luo Xiyao is the lead actress, and Teacher Zhao plays her mother-in-law."

"Go and investigate what happened on set back then, and why Zhao Xiaojing targeted Luo Xiyao."

"Actually, you don't need to check to know the general idea. Teacher Zhao doesn't have a very good reputation in the industry. She often suppresses new generation actresses, especially those who are talented and beautiful," the staff member said bluntly.

"I see." Tang Xiaoge suddenly smiled, but there was little sympathy or anger in that smile.

That's how it's always been in this industry: big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and the weak don't deserve sympathy.

He appreciates the small fish and shrimp growing strong and healthy, watching them grow bigger and bigger and eat the big fish. Isn't that more interesting than pear blossoms in the rain?

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Tang Xiaoge said loudly, "Come in."

Zhao Xiaojing had already adjusted her expression before entering the room. Seeing Tang Xiaoge sitting upright at the table, she took the initiative to go up to her.

"Hello, Teacher Zhao. Is there something you need?" Tang Xiaoge smiled gently, appearing very approachable.

Zhao Xiaojing was recently signed to Starry Sky Entertainment. Although she is old and her face is gray, she can still play some supporting roles and make money for the company.

"Here's the thing, I saw on the official Weibo account that they announced the actress chosen for the female lead in 'The Commander's Wife,' and you finally selected Luo Xiyao, right?" Zhao Xiaojing sat down in the chair, her expression serious and earnest.

"Yes, Miss Luo just came by and signed a contract with us. Teacher Zhao arrived a little too late, otherwise you could have met her."

"You've already signed the contract and left? Then I am indeed late. I'm sorry to bother you, Tang Tang." Zhao Xiaojing made a hesitant expression, then stood up, leaning on the handrail.

"What do you mean by that, Teacher Zhao?" Tang Xiaoge felt uncomfortable being called "Tang Tang" by Zhao Xiaojing.

This woman is so old, yet she still calls him "Tang Tang" like those young girls outside. This inappropriate way is really uncomfortable.

Trying to get close to someone requires thought; if you say the wrong thing, it can make people feel uncomfortable, as Zhao Xiaojing is a counterexample.

"It's nothing. I've worked with this Ms. Luo before, so I know her fairly well. That's why I wanted to say a few words to you, Tangtang."

Zhao Xiaojing gave a strange smile, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that what she was about to say would not be pleasant.

"Teacher Zhao, please speak frankly." Tang Xiaoge lost her patience, and her eyes sharpened.

Zhao Xiaojing couldn't understand why Tang Xiaoge suddenly seemed to have grown thorns all over her body, which was quite different from her usual gentle image.

Did she say something wrong? Probably not, she's been speaking very politely since she came in.

"She was a newcomer, and her acting skills were not up to par. She was often criticized by the director on set, which delayed our filming schedule."

"Also, she has a bad reputation. She's been having affairs with other women on set. Rumor has it that the costume designer on set is also having an affair with her."

“I didn’t mean anything by it. After all, we’re in the same company. I can’t just stand by and watch you choose a girl like this as the lead. I also know how much effort you put into this script, Tang Tang, so…”

"So, Teacher Zhao, you have someone to recommend to me?"

Zhao Xiaojing was overjoyed and was about to continue speaking, introducing her little niece to Tang Xiaoge, but the other party did not give her a chance to speak.

"This casting process has already been fraught with difficulties. The results of the auditions are what they are. I won't give anyone special treatment. Teacher Zhao, you're a smart person, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Tang Xiaoge raised her right hand and touched the luxury watch on her left wrist, her voice revealing a hint of impatience.

Such a perfunctory attitude was noticeable even to the staff nearby, let alone Zhao Xiaojing, a seasoned veteran who had been in the industry for decades.

But Zhao Xiaojing seemed to deliberately ignore Tang Xiaoge's perfunctory attitude and continued speaking.

"I have a little niece who is exceptionally talented in acting. She was chosen by a famous director to be a child star when she was only seven years old..."

"I hope Tangtang can give my niece a chance. She didn't perform well on the day of her audition because of some unexpected events. I don't want you to miss out on such a good opportunity..."

"Teacher Zhao, can't you understand human language?" Tang Xiaoge suddenly raised her hand and slammed it on the table, making the table shake, showing how strong the force was.
