After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

"Director Li's new movie is in preparation. I have the script and materials. He is interested in choosing you to star in it."

Xu Xinzhu bit the corner of his lip and widened his eyes slightly.

Director Li’s new movie?

Everyone in this circle knows Li Zongping.

Li Zongping is a photographer by profession, 57 years old, male.

When he was young, he was a photographer. In his thirties, he changed his career and began to get involved in the film and television industry. The first movie he shot was successfully shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival. Later, many of his works won major awards at international film festivals. He himself enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad, and was named one of the "Top Ten Influential People in the World" by Time magazine.

Xu Xinzhu is not even qualified to play a supporting role in Li Zongping's movie.

But now she is told that she has the opportunity to play the leading female role?

This is exactly... what she has always dreamed of.

"How could Director Li choose me?" Xu Xinzhu couldn't believe it. "I'm not famous at all in this circle."

But looking at Li Zongping's past works, almost every leading actor is a well-known actor.

"Nothing is impossible." Lin Qingran said calmly, "Although Director Li is a genius director, he can't avoid dealing with capital. I paid a little price and won you the opportunity to audition."

Xu Xinzhu was slightly stunned.

"Of course, it's just an opportunity." Lin Qingran narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at her with a deep gaze, "Director Li is not a person who would easily tarnish his own work. He is an artist and has his own integrity. I can only help you get this opportunity. As for whether you can pass his audition, it's your business..."

However, Li Zongping never lets go of any good actor, so Lin Qingran thought Xu Xinzhu might be worth a try.

Lin Qingran asked her: "What do you think?"

Xu Xinzhu smiled slightly, "I won't waste this opportunity."

People like her who have been in the 18th line and have never seen the light of day will do anything to get any chance to move up.

Lin Qingran raised her lips, knowing that she was not mistaken about the person.

"Then you should prepare your audition materials well."

"Yes."

Lin Qingran withdrew her gaze from the glass door of the office that opened and closed, and lowered her head to work.

At noon, Bai Shirui pushed the door open, as skillfully as if she came from her own company. She first took out a bottle of drink from the upright freezer on the side and took a sip, then threw her bag casually on the sofa.

Then he came to Lin Qingran and looked down at the documents on her desk. "What are you busy with?"

Lin Qingran glanced at her and lowered her head again, "I signed an artist yesterday."

"Who is it?"

"Xu Xinzhu."

"never heard of that."

Lin Qingran smiled, "It's normal that you haven't heard of him. He's a little-known actor."

"Why did you sign her if she's not famous?"

"If you are not famous, you can slowly cultivate it." Lin Qingran closed the file, looked at Bai Shirui, and said softly, "Fame is accumulated."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I believe you have great potential." Bai Shirui gave him some perfunctory encouragement and pulled him up from his chair, "Let's go and eat."

Bai Shirui passed by here on her way to the bank to do some work for her company, so she took Lin Qingran to the shopping mall across the street to have lunch with her.

The two walked into a newly opened store hand in hand, and Bai Shirui suddenly stopped.

"RanRan, isn't that your husband?"

Lin Qingran naturally saw it as well. The figure at the table against the wall, with his back to her, was undoubtedly Lu Siheng.

"How can it be such a coincidence? I run into him every time I go out to eat." Bai Shirui complained casually.

Yes.

How could such a coincidence happen?

Could it be that Lu Siheng did this on purpose? This thought suddenly popped up in Lin Qingran's mind. Could it be that Lu Siheng was deliberately creating an encounter with her?

For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt a little happy about this idea.

But soon, reason told her that this was just a simple encounter.

Because it was a random event that Bai Shirui asked her out to eat, and it was impossible for Lu Siheng to predict in advance that she would go out to eat, let alone guess which restaurant she was going to eat at.

"RanRan, do you want to go say hello?"

"No need." Lin Qingran said, "I'm not familiar with him."

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the other corner, randomly chose a seat to sit down, which was quite far away from Lu Siheng and the others.

"Ah?" Bai Shirui followed after realizing it belatedly, puzzled, "Are you still unfamiliar with each other now?"

Lin Qingran flipped through the menu without changing her expression, "Hmm."

Bai Shirui sat down opposite her, her gossipy heart burning, "Don't you guys usually communicate?"

"Exchange what?"

"It's just... you see each other every time you look up or down, it's impossible for you to not say a word to each other all day, right?"

"We have different get off work and home hours, so we usually don't run into each other."

"Is that so..." Bai Shirui paused for a moment, thinking for a moment, and then asked, "What about a phone call? Or a text message? I remember you gave him your contact information, didn't you guys usually call each other?"

Lin Qingran glanced at him and asked, "Why are you calling?"

"Just chatting, just like you and I, don't I call you every few days?"

Lin Qingran frowned and said, "He and I have no common topics."

Bai Shirui was stunned, "Are you planning to stay with him like this forever?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"But……"

"Rui Rui." Lin Qingran interrupted her, "He and I will divorce sooner or later."

"Okay." Bai Shirui sighed silently, feeling that it was a bit of a pity.

Lu Siheng's table left early, and when Lin Qingran and Bai Shirui finished their meal and went to pay the bill, they were gone.

Lin Qingran returned to Ran Yi and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, looking at the scenery outside, stroking her long hair absentmindedly with her fingers.

She had finished her work this morning and felt a little bored. She opened WeChat and replied to a few work messages. Suddenly, she thought of Bai Shirui's words:

"Don't you guys usually call each other?"

She turned the page to the address book.

Scrolling down, there were several phone calls between her and Lu Siheng.

However, it is limited to mutual reporting of itinerary or requests that require the other party to appear.

She didn't want to call Lu Siheng, and they had nothing to talk about.

Although Lin Qingran thought so, she lightly tapped the line of Lu Siheng's call record with her finger, then squinted her eyes slightly and listened to the dial tone coming from the phone...

When Lu Siheng received the call, he was on his way back to Lu's company.

He placed one hand on his knee and picked up the phone with the other hand. His eyes fell on the word "wife" in the note. He was slightly startled and opened his thin lips slightly, "Ms. Lin."
