I'm Secretly Married To a Big Shot [JENLISA] (1)

336-340

But this prejudice against him had diminished drastically the moment he saw Lisa.

This man in a suit before him was so very different from how he'd expected.

Not only was he far from the inexperienced-looking young man he'd pictured in his head, but his presence was also so domineering that everyone felt a little intimidated.

This was the first time in his life that a young man caught him off-guard.

Now, he dared not underestimate this man any longer.

He'd been in the industry long enough to know at first glance that this young man wasn't so simple.

Lisa shook hands with him very briefly. "Chairman Chen is too kind. Manoban Corporation chose to work with Heng Tong because Heng Tong is good enough."

Chairman Chen went on with a few more diplomatic words, and Lisa did the same.

The two men exchanged some more civilities before being led to the golf course.

On the other side.

Krystal's face was black as thunder as she left the audition hall.

She erupted the moment she entered the elevator and yelled at Linda, "That slut actually made it through the auditions. Linda, did you hear that? They said they'd already settled on that character.

"What do I do now? What do I do now?!"

She grabbed Linda's arm as her eyes filled with worry and anger. "Help me think of something, quick! You've got to help me. I can't let that slut have a chance to show her face to the world. Tell me how I can stop her.

"How can she play the third female role?

"If she's the third female role, wouldn't that mean she'll have a chance at becoming famous? There are so many scenes for that character. How could she get it?!"

"Krystal, calm down." Linda frowned and tried to resist flaring up.

"This isn't a tragedy, don't get so flustered. Calm down first. We'll think of something."

"How is this not a tragedy?"

Krystal was deeply upset by her attitude. "Do you know the consequences of giving her a chance to show her face to the world?"

"Of course I do." Linda actually felt some contempt towards Krystal at her current attitude.

She knew what Krystal was worried about.

Jennie's appearance was so outstanding. As long as somebody was willing to groom her, she'd definitely make it big.

She was the sort who could make a name for herself even if she just played a small character.

What made it even worse for Krystal was that Jennie was also very talented in acting, besides just having good looks.

If it wasn't for her ruining things for Jennie all these years, Jennie would probably be a megastar by now.

Back then, she'd wanted to sign Jennie under her wing when she first saw her.

If it wasn't for Kai forcing her to take Krystal, she'd probably be managing Jennie now.

Had Jennie been given the same resources, she'd definitely be way more successful than Krystal.

Krystal knew this very well too. That explained her strong reaction.

"You know it, so think of something to stop her!" Krystal glared at her.

"I don't care what it takes. We have to take that role from Jennie!"
