From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids Chapter 31: Extra Actor

She felt suspicious. These past few days, Little Su Luo had been inexplicably unhappy, and she couldn’t find the reason.

System: Oh no, it seems like the vicious aunt is about to find out.

At this mont, an unknown call ca through on her phone.

"Hello, who is this?" Su Xingwan said politely.

There was a slight pause on the other end.

"It’s , Chen Zhicai. It’s only been a few days, and you don’t recognize anymore?"

He wondered when Su Xingwan beca so polite.

Su Xingwan realized it was the agent from Yuehua Entertainnt who had called her a few days ago, shortly after her arrival here.

"Is there sothing you need?"

Chen Zhicai coughed a few tis.

He wasn’t sure what had changed. Before, when Su Xingwan kept pestering Yuehua Entertainnt, he couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her.

He looked down on her, and now that she had given up on signing with their company, he felt a bit uneasy.

"I saw your job hunting information on your social dia..."

Su Xingwan was surprised, "You’re calling to offer a job?"

Would he really be so kind?

Chen Zhicai: "Yeah, you always wanted to sign with Yuehua Entertainnt before, right?"

"You didn’t et our requirents before, but today our boss said he’s willing to give you another chance."

"If you still want to continue in this entertainnt industry, you need to accept so necessary conditions."

He had learned about Su Xingwan’s recent downturn from Wu Qian; she was struggling and quite poor now.

Single, with two kids, living a tough life.

He thought, under these circumstances, Su Xingwan would agree to Yuehua Entertainnt’s unequal terms.

Su Xingwan: "What conditions?"

Chen Zhicai coughed a few tis: "Let’s not talk about those for now."

"A few days ago, an investor visited . He’s looking to invest in a few new actors for a project. I thought this could be a good opportunity. As long as you co to Huatan Hotel tomorrow night and have a few drinks with this investor, you could get an important role. What do you think?"

He thought of Su Xingwan imdiately after hearing this from the investor.

Though Su Xingwan had a bad temper and was self-centered, he couldn’t deny her strikingly beautiful face, which stood out even among other actresses in the entertainnt industry.

Lately, he had been thinking that signing her back then wouldn’t have caused any loss to Yuehua Entertainnt. If she didn’t beco famous, she’d just be one of many dormant artists.

He couldn’t understand why he refused to sign her at the ti.

Su Xingwan understood.

Wow, they want her to agree to the unspoken rules.

She cursed, "Thanks a lot!"

With a "bang," she hung up the phone.

Chen Zhicai: ...

He overthought it; she was still the arrogant Su Xingwan from before.

The two little ones playing with toys and watching the tablet in the living room saw their aunt’s angry face.

"Auntie, are you unhappy from the phone call?"

"Auntie, don’t be angry. It’ll make you age faster," Little Su Hua ca over to comfort her.

"Hua Bao, where did you learn all this?" Su Xingwan felt comforted.

"From the tablet."

Su Xingwan looked over. The two kids would watch the tablet while playing with toys, and in just a few days, they’d learned to browse the internet and watch short videos happily.

At this mont, Su Xingwan just wanted to lay flat, not work for money, and have food, drink, and clothes without worrying about life.

Soon, another unknown call ca to Su Xingwan’s phone.

Su Xingwan answered it, puzzled.

"Hello, is this Su Xingwan?" The voice on the other end was calm and polite.

"Yes, who are you?" Su Xingwan replied.

"Don’t you rember ? We t on the street a while ago," Tang Muya said, ntioning her na.

Su Xingwan recalled the kind-hearted person who had given her a red envelope on the street.

"Miss Tang Muya?"

"Yes, it’s ," she laughed.

Su Xingwan: "You called because...?"

Tang Muya: "I saw your job hunting information online. I have a part-ti job here, just wondering if you’d be interested."

Without even asking what the job was, Su Xingwan imdiately agreed.

She just asked, "Is it convenient to bring children over?"

"Yes, it’s fine. I’ll talk to Director Chen about it. By the way, do you have any acting experience?"

Su Xingwan truthfully replied, "No."

Tang Muya laughed, "That’s okay. You can start from the bottom as an extra. Is that alright?"

Su Xingwan was stunned, an extra?

Tang Muya noticed her silence and asked.

"You don’t want to?"

"I do!"

She had never experienced acting before, only seen it in short videos on her phone.

She used to work in an office and sotis fantasized about a different life; she never expected it to co true this ti.

The re thought of it felt wonderful.

Tang Muya: "Alright, being an extra can be quite tough. It doesn’t pay much compared to regular actors, usually around 80 to over 100 a day. Of course, if you’re lucky and get a slightly better role, you could make a few hundred a day."

"By the way, if you want to continue this work, you’re welco to. If you run out of acting resources, call , and I will ask a few friends to help find you sothing."

Su Xingwan felt like crying.

"You’re an amazing person!"

Tang Muya laughed at her words.

"Then why don’t you get ready and bring your niece and nephew to Hengdian tomorrow?"

"No problem, I’ll definitely be there tomorrow!" Su Xingwan said gratefully.

After ending the chat, she imdiately posted on social dia, announcing she had found a job and thanked Tang Muya for her help.

Zhang Qiaoqiao and Wu Qian were stunned when they saw that Su Xingwan’s job was to beco an extra.

They both comnted in her feed: [???][???]

Zhang Qiaoqiao: [Su Xingwan, you’ve really made sothing of yourself!]

Wu Qian mocked: [Even if you’re so poor you can’t afford food, there’s no need to take such a job, right?]

In Su Xingwan’s social dia, there were also so "plastic" friends of the original host who comnted.

[I bet she can’t stick it out.]

[I bet she’ll be back in less than a week.]

[I bet she’ll be back in less than a day.]

Chen Zhicai was also baffled when he learned that Su Xingwan took a bottom-tier role as an extra.

She has a shortcut, yet she chose the hardest, most tiring path. Doesn’t she know an extra’s path is the hardest to break through and succeed in?

Is she out of her mind???

He wanted to ssage her, but realized he had been deleted from her WeChat.

"..."

Chen Zhicai was so angry he jumped around his room in rage.
