My Evil Cinderella: Taming a Villainous Wife Chapter 36 - Preparation

By watching at how Fan Xiao Yao acted, everyone felt the emotions she placed in it. Some were even brought to tears as well since they felt the pain and heartbreak from her.

Even the other new artists in the studio were stunned. Shi Enxi was so strict but her words made Fan Xiao Yao act this way...

Shi Enxi's words were the harsh truth when it came to the entertainment industry. If one didn't have confidence in how they act, they would not get anywhere. Actually, it was just not in acting, it includes in every single thing in life.

Fan Xiao Yao seemed as if she has become another person completely.

Ah Jialou scoffed, "How pathetic." She turned away to leave the place. She was already done with her shoot and the only reason she stayed behind was because she wanted to mock Fan Xiao Yao and her manager but after seeing what happened and how everyone was moved by Fan Xiao Yao's acting, she knew that she cannot openly bad-mouth her in the studio.

After acting her part, Fan Xiao Yao stood still and tried to calm down a little as she tried to come out of her character. No one uttered a word since a bit of Shi Enxi's hostility was still lingering.

Will she be able to pass? Everyone wondered. Even Fan Xiao Yao was a bit nervous on it as she stared at her manager with tensed shoulders.

Under their gazes, Shi Enxi stood up and walked toward her. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Fan Xiao Yao as she softly said, "See? You can do it after all. If you can do a great job like this, you should have done it in the beginning."

Shi Enxi finally smiled at her. She always knew that she could do it, she wouldn't choose her in the first place if she didn't believe in her. "From now on, you should always give everything when you're acting."

Fan Xiao Yao clenched the handkerchief she gave as she stared at Shi Enxi with watery eyes. Shi Enxi may be harsh and strict towards her earlier but she did it for her sake, right?

Shi Enxi turned away from her and started walking away, "Let's go. Our job here is over."

After getting a copy of the video and after thanking the staff, Shi Enxi and Fan Xiao Yao left the studio and headed back to the office

"I want you to study her character well until the day of the audition. You need to work out your body as well since Sun Bore's character is a bit tricky. She is the daughter of a general and has a strong temperament."

Fan Xiao Yao listened carefully at the short summary of the character that they were aiming to get. She obediently nodded at every instruction that she gave.

"I will give you your daily schedule later."

"What if I didn't get the role?"

Shi Enxi raised a brow in annoyance, "Are you seriously asking me that? Just how much doubt you have in your ability?"

Fan Xiao Yao lowered her head, her lips were stretched into a straight line. There were other great actresses who are aiming for the role so she wasn't sure if she'll be able to successfully get the role.

"As long as you will listen to me, you will have that role." Shi Enxi said with great confidence. She was not going to back down just because others were aiming for it. No matter who the opponent was going to be, Shi Enxi was going to face them head-on.

Fan Xiao Yao envied Shi Enxi for being so brave. Wasn't she scared of anything at all? 

"Do you remember the sword dance you did during our high school cultural event?"

"A bit of it, yeah, why do you ask?"

"It will be included in your schedule, I want you to practice it every day."

Since Fan Xiao Yao promised to obey her, she didn't ask why she needed to do it. She knew that Shi Enxi knew what she was doing that's why she was going to put her trust in her. She wanted to do her best so that she wouldn't disappoint the only person who believed in her acting skills. 

If Shi Enxi was fighting for her, then she will try her best to be strong like her. At that moment, Shi Enxi was her pillar. One day, Fan Xiao Yao wanted to be one of Shi Enxi's strong pillars too. For that to happen, she needed to build herself up first.

Later that day, the short clip of Fan Xiao Yao was posted by Shi Enxi in her Weibo with a caption, 'I just finished reading the book of #The Legend of Da Ying. Here's one of my favorite scenes!'

Fan Xian Yao wasn't famous so no one really knew her. There were only a few people who followed her in her Weibo and they were only the people she was friends with that was why Shi Enxi's aim was to capture the vid fans of the famous book by adding a hashtag on it.

At first, her Weibo was quiet but soon, the video was slowly getting discovered and the views started increasing. Even Fan Xiao Yao's followers increased.

Shi Enxi wasn't in a hurry to have the video rise up in one of the most searched on Weibo, what mattered to her was that it was gaining enough attention.

While she was busy making a schedule for Fan Xiao Yao, her phone started ringing. She looked at it only to see Lu Mello's name on her screen. 

"Shit... I almost forgot that I'm getting married today..." She mumbled. She picked up the phone and answered the call, "Hello?"

"Xi'er, I'll be picking you up there so be ready in fifteen minutes."

"Okay. I'll meet you at the parking lot."
