Lu Xueru's Little Scheme

Lu Xueru had purposely turned down all her work just to meet Lu Qingqiao at the Lu Corporation today.

In the past, she would accompany her to work at the Lu Corporation when she had no work. Many people in the company knew her, so she had a smooth journey to Lu Qingqiao's office this time.

Lu Qingqiao and Secretary Lin were both in the meeting room. It was the assistant secretary who brought her some desserts and coffee.

As usual, the assistant secretary listened to Lu Xueru ask about Lu Qingqiao's current situation. She remembered Secretary Lin had reminded her not to disclose certain company matters to anyone, not even the Lu family.

The assistant chuckled and picked the unimportant ones. Lu Xueru did not find any helpful information, so she just chatted with her briefly.

When Lu Qingqiao's meeting was over, she found out that Lu Xueru had come.

She asked Secretary Lin, "Is Director Xu running auditions for the movie he's preparing?"

Secretary Lin held the documents in her hands and nodded. "Yes, CEO Lu."

Shengtian Entertainment was the primary investor for the film Director Xu Hongzhi had prepared. The Lu Corporation's Investment and Development Department had also drawn up an investment plan, but Lu Qingqiao had not approved it. Instead, she reminded the Investment and Development Department it was unnecessary to invest in Lu Xueru in the future. They had to invest in the Lu Corporation's interests.

Because of this incident, the Investment and Development Department still had rumors of Lu Qingqiao and Lu Xueru falling out because of Si Jingsen.

"Lin Xu, is Director Xu satisfied with the old mansion in Luo City?" Lu Qingqiao asked after some thought.

Secretary Lin nodded. "Director Xu is delighted. He also sent his thanks. He also promised to protect the old house during the filming period."

"Yes," Lu Qingqiao replied.

The Lu family's old residence in Luo City had a traditional Su-style garden courtyard. Director Xu was extremely strict with the shooting. He had chosen no less than a hundred Su-style courtyards for a part of the film that needed to be shot, but he had not been pleased with any.

Lu Qingqiao knew Director Xu was only interested in the Lu family's old residence in Luo City. Lu Xueru had used this opportunity to win over Director Xu's favor in her previous life. She had also used some means to get the role she wanted.

Lu Xueru had come to look for her today because of this.

After waiting more than half an hour, Lu Xueru finally met Lu Qingqiao.

"Sister, I'm on leave today, so I came to work with you. I even brought over the blueberry cake that we both love. But I've been controlling my diet for the audition recently, so I can only eat a little with you.

"I flew to Country Y two days ago for work and saw a beautiful necklace from House G. I brought it back for you.

"Speaking of work from the day before yesterday, I even saw the person who won the International Best Actor Award last year..."

Lu Xueru talked about her work these days in a light-hearted manner like it was an ordinary conversation between sisters.

However, Lu Qingqiao knew why Lu Xueru was there. She felt Lu Xueru was laying the groundwork for what she wanted.

Lu Xueru had said a lot before Lu Qingqiao said, "I heard Director Xu has been carrying out auditions recently. Is this the audition you're talking about?"

After all the foreshadowing, it would be better for Lu Qingqiao to cut to the chase and end this topic.

Lu Xueru nodded. She first expressed her love for the role in the audition. But then she said with a bit of uncertainty, "But I heard that many capable actors are auditioning for this role. I'm so stressed and worried that I won't be able to get this role."

After a moment of silence, she seemed to have pulled herself together again. "But I sincerely like this role, so I'll work hard."

"You can't take this role." Lu Qingqiao analyzed calmly. "Your acting skills are not bad, but the character's aura is still lacking."
