Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: She is Determined to Get This Role

Wait, if he’s coming, does that mean the CEO is coming too?!

The CEO, with his myriad of daily affairs, actually came to the audition site to supervise in person, showing how much importance he placed on this audition. Well, it’s no wonder—after all, they’ve invested a hundred million. Who wouldn’t take that seriously?

She had to bring her A-game, focus fully on this audition, and try to make a good impression on the CEO!

"..."

Pang Kai, whose support for Ye Xian had turned to disdain, didn’t respond upon hearing his voice, and with a haughty twist of his head, he asked the site director, "What role is Ye Xian auditioning for?"

"The supporting male character, Shen Jinyou."

"Then hurry up and get him into costume. Once he’s ready, send him on stage."

"Okay."

Upon hearing that Ye Xian needed to be dressed up, Meng Jin hurriedly tried to curry favor with Pang Kai by asking, "I’m also here to audition for a supporting male role. Do I need to get into costume too?"

Who are you? With such an aged appearance, coming here to audition for the youthful and beautiful Shen Jinyou of Desert North?

Aren’t you still dreaming, thinking Star Entertainment’s major IP is some low-quality online drama?

Pang Kai didn’t even bother with him and turned to leave.

Meng Jin: "Eh..."

This role was hers to win! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The Eldest Prince, Gu Tianlin, was the male lead, and the role that Ye Xian was auditioning for was the supporting male character—Shen Jinyou.

Shen Jinyou was the son of the Empress of the Desert North Dynasty, Shen Jialin, yet he was not born to the Emperor, Gu Weixiang. The third Emperor of Desert North, Gu Haoyuan, who was Gu Weixiang’s own brother, had taken the renowned beauty Shen Jialin as his concubine. Envious of her beauty, Gu Weixiang lusted after her, and so he killed his brother, usurped the throne, and forcibly took Shen Jialin, against all opposition, elevating her to the status of Empress.

However, by that time Shen Jialin had been pregnant for over four months. Aborting the child would endanger her life. Though Gu Weixiang was exceedingly affectionate towards her, he couldn’t tolerate the bastard child in her womb and vowed to eliminate it after birth to soothe his nerves. To protect her child, Shen Jialin, on the day of delivery, colluded with the midwife in a "cat and mouse game" to smuggle Shen Jinyou out of the palace.

As fate would have it, while the midwife was fleeing with Shen Jinyou, they encountered soldiers on a manhunt. In desperation, she left Shen Jinyou in a small nest in the forest.

Fortunately, he was discovered by a kind elderly couple passing by, who adopted him and saved his life.

Shen Jinyou inherited the genes of his mother, Shen Jialin, and was exceptionally handsome from a young age, exhibiting a distinguished and elegant demeanor by the age of eight or nine.
