Chapter 305 An Yixuan's Choice

An Yixuan was wandering around Hengdian, looking for a job.

She had recently terminated her contract with her agency.

The company had cultivated her for two years, given her two small roles, and then dragged her to banquets, telling her to secure roles herself.

An Yixuan utterly rejected those scenes.

Those pot-bellied men, besides making her drink, just wanted to take advantage of her.

An Yixuan wasn't willing to accompany them, and the company didn't have any extra roles for her.

So she was released.

But she was still unwilling to lower her head, even though she knew that with her looks, she could easily get opportunities by accompanying those pot-bellied sugar daddies for a meal or sleeping with them a few times.

However, An Yixuan felt that the money earned from selling her body was too dirty!

Unwilling to sell herself, she could only struggle to find opportunities on her own.

After regaining her freedom, An Yixuan sent her resume to all the entertainment companies that were still hiring, but they all disappeared without a trace.

"Do I really have to sell my body to get a chance to act?"

An Yixuan inevitably fell into frustration.

"Maybe I should just quit the industry altogether. Now that I've finally regained my freedom, why bother floating around here!"

An Yixuan kept giving herself psychological cues.

But she couldn't help but feel unwilling.

She had honed her acting skills and plunged into this field with a full head of enthusiasm. The opportunity was clearly within reach, but she had to…

"Should I take a gamble?"

An Yixuan still had a business card in her pocket.

It was left to her by that bald man, who told her to call him when she had thought it through.

An Yixuan's fingers, clutching the business card, were turning white. She thought again of the leading role that should have been hers but was forcibly replaced by someone the investors had parachuted in.

That feeling of despair enveloped An Yixuan, making it hard to breathe.

"Ding-ling-ling…"

The vibration of the phone pulled An Yixuan out of that despairing mood. She composed her shattered emotions and answered the call.

"Hello, is this Ms. An Yixuan?"

The voice on the phone sounded familiar, but An Yixuan couldn't place it for the moment.

"Hello, this is An Yixuan. What can I do for you?"

"I'm Su Yao from Xuan Yao Company. I saw your resume and was wondering if you'd be interested in coming here for an audition?"

An Yixuan stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe her ears.

Su Yao, it was actually Su Yao from Xuan Yao Group who called her personally.

Su Yao was currently the most popular female star in the country and the favorite to win the next Best Actress award. The distance between her and Su Yao was as high as a mountain.

Her love story with Lu Xuan was the envy of countless female stars.

She had once fantasized that if her boyfriend was Lu Xuan, she wouldn't be reduced to this state now.

An Yixuan tentatively said, "Are you inviting me to audition?"

Su Yao gave an incredibly affirmative answer.

"That's right, it's you. Our company will be filming a xianxia (immortal hero) drama recently. Your appearance meets our initial screening criteria."

"Ah??"

An Yixuan couldn't believe her ears.

She was actually noticed by Xuan Yao Company, and for a role with a name in the drama!

She vaguely guessed what the xianxia drama was!

It was *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*, a novel that had topped the charts on Xuan Yao Company's own online novel platform for years!

This was the most popular novel this year, and even she was a fan of it.

With Xuan Yao Company's strength, as soon as they started preparing for the film and television adaptation, this drama would definitely be a hit!

As long as she could participate in a small role in it, she could survive in this entertainment circle.

"An Yixuan, are you listening?"

Hearing Su Yao's urging, An Yixuan came back to her senses and said, "Yes, I am!"

"I have time to audition now. Where do I report?"

Su Yao had been about to hang up the phone because An Yixuan hadn't responded for so long, assuming she was unwilling. She hadn't expected An Yixuan to agree.

"I'll send you an address. Just come directly. We're near Hengdian. We'll reimburse your ticket."

An Yixuan suppressed her excitement and said, "Okay, I'll be right there!"

An Yixuan was about to hang up when she heard Su Yao's question.

"Do you not currently have any contracts?"

An Yixuan hesitated and said, "I don't have a contract anymore. I terminated it with my previous company some time ago."

After saying that, An Yixuan felt uneasy.

She was now very afraid that Su Yao would withdraw the previous invitation because of this.

Su Yao's voice was very calm.

"Can you tell me why? I think your appearance should have cultivation value. Your company shouldn't be so shortsighted, right?"

An Yixuan quickly organized her words.

"I'm very grateful to my company because they provided me with two roles, but it's just that I'm not up to par and failed to gather fans."

"Later, the company organized banquets and told us to find sugar daddies and roles ourselves. I wasn't willing, so the company and I terminated the contract peacefully."

An Yixuan's words resonated with Su Yao.

An Yixuan's company was already considered relatively conscientious in the industry for letting her go like this.

Su Yao didn't respond for a long time.

It was An Yixuan's turn to feel uneasy.

"Is this matter going to fall through like this?"

An Yixuan's newly raised hope vanished like a bubble.

But unexpectedly, Su Yao's voice became very serious.

"Then that's perfect. Do you want to sign with our Xuan Yao Company? Our company is very optimistic about your performance."

"Really!"

An Yixuan's voice trembled slightly.

Su Yao said with a smile, "I can make the decision on this matter. I'm very optimistic about your acting path, so I think you have the hope of becoming a big hit."

"As long as you're willing to sign, I'll have someone create a development plan specifically for you. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can still guarantee that you'll participate in one drama every year."

An Yixuan was already stunned.

These conditions were too generous, so generous that they gave her an extremely unreal feeling.

"I'm willing!"

An Yixuan felt that even when she got married in the future, she wouldn't be able to be more decisive than she was now.

Su Yao smiled slightly.

No actor could refuse such generous conditions.

"Then I'll wait for you here. Come quickly so we can finalize your role."

"Yes!"
