With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Bo was both surprised and delighted, and looked at Kuan Jie in disbelief.

Sister Kuan looked at Ali with a doting smile and said, "Our Ali is beautiful inside and out."

“Brother Bo is a good person, I’m willing to help him,” Shen Li emphasized again.

"That's great, thank you, Little Ali." Brother Bo was a little touched. He had been in the industry for so many years and had asked many people for help so that the artists under his management could get good jobs.

He drank heavily at parties and groveled before others, but he never expected that one day he would be pitied by a young girl who had just entered the industry.

He didn't care whether Ali was acting out of sympathy or some other reason; he only knew that Ali was willing to help him during his most difficult time, and he would remember that.

"You're welcome, Brother Bo."

Sister Kuan urged, "Then you should go back and prepare the artist's information properly. We have to go."

Bo Ge nodded excitedly, and his gaze towards Shen Li changed, filled with both excitement and emotion.

Once in the car, Sister Kuan said to Shen Li earnestly, "You did the right thing by helping Brother Bo. He is a loyal and righteous person, and he will definitely remember it and repay you in the future."

"I never expected Brother Bo to repay me," Shen Li said sincerely. "I just think he's a very special person..."

Shen Li thought for a moment about her choice of words, and finally blurted out two words: "Strive."

Seeing the quality of "hard work" in a middle-aged man, Sister Kuan couldn't help but laugh, but she had to agree with Shen Li's opinion.

Especially at this stage, Brother Bo no longer had any popular artists under his wing; they were all mediocre ones.

Bo Ge worked hard for these people, and the harder he worked, the more heartbroken he felt.

"Sister Kuan, where do we go now?"

"Go see Director Li An." Sister Kuan explained, "He's going to audition a few male actors today, probably because it's related to your role, so he wants you to come along too, to see how well they match you."

"Director Li An likes to use newcomers. The boy you're acting with this time is probably not very old either, so I told you to go makeup-free and dress casually."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li couldn't help but glance at her hooded sweatshirt. She had indeed obeyed and dressed entirely in plain clothes.

As she spoke, Sister Kuan glanced at the time and urged the driver, "Old Zhou, drive faster, don't be late."

Upon hearing this, driver Lao Zhou shifted gears, and the car's speed noticeably increased.

The meeting place was once again the "Executive Lounge" of a five-star hotel, which was quiet and offered a certain degree of privacy.

But this time, Director Li An didn't come alone; the film's producer and casting director also came with him.

Producer Liu Tong arrived first at the window seat, and sitting opposite her was another actress who had arrived earlier, along with her agent.

The actress's name is Wang Ziyu. She is a newcomer actress even newer than Shen Li. She has only acted in one movie since her debut, and her screen time is very limited. However, because of her good looks, her scene went viral online and caused quite a stir.

The fact that this second film was chosen by director Li An shows how lucky he was and how high his starting point was.

"Producer Liu, please have some tea." Wang Ziyu's agent proactively poured tea for producer Liu Tong, his words and actions full of flattery. However, he didn't feel ashamed at all. The entertainment industry is a place where people praise the powerful and step on the weak. It's normal to be a little obsequious to those in positions of power.

Liu Tong wasn't an arrogant person, and upon seeing this, he quickly thanked her and kept praising Wang Ziyu's good qualities.

"No wonder Director Li An took a liking to her at first sight. She's even more three-dimensional in person than on camera. If she were on Director Li An's camera, he would definitely make her look even more beautiful," Liu Tong said truthfully.

His status means he has no need to praise a new actor, so what he says at this moment is the truth from the bottom of his heart.

The agent's mouth practically stretched to his ears when he heard this, and Wang Ziyu was also quite excited.

"Producer Liu, I've seen the director's current cast list." Seeing Liu Tong's high praise for Wang Ziyu, the agent wanted to strike while the iron was hot and boldly said, "We were chatting earlier, and you mentioned that Shen Li doesn't seem to care much about billing order. I was wondering if you could give our Ziyu more exposure and put her before Shen Li in the credits?"

Wang Ziyu looked at Liu Tong with anticipation in her eyes.

Liu Tong paused in his tea-drinking motion and gently looked up at the other person.

Seeing this, the agent also became nervous. Fighting for top billing in the entertainment industry is indeed a bit unseemly, but as an agent, one always wants to fight for one's artist.

He grinned shamelessly, "You said Ziyu is a good candidate, so let's give her more opportunities."

Liu Tong sighed softly, put down the cup in her hand, and looked at the agent, asking, "Do you think that putting her name before Shen Li's will make her ranked higher than Shen Li in the audience's mind?"

"That's not what I meant. You said Shen Li doesn't care about billing order, so it's okay if she's a little behind, right?"

“Our Ah-Li doesn’t care about billing order, but not just anyone can take this opportunity to overshadow her.” Kuan Jie’s displeased voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling Wang Ziyu and her manager into looking up.

"Sister Kuan is here!"

Liu Tong looked up and saw that it was Sister Kuan. She quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Kuan." The agent also stood up to greet her. Although he didn't know Sister Kuan, who in this industry didn't know her?

Sister Kuan greeted Liu Tong with a smile, then glanced coldly at the male agent and sneered without mercy: "I really came at the worst possible time. What kind of nonsense did I hear?"

The other party smiled sheepishly and awkwardly, but dared not say another word.

Kuan Jie pulled Shen Li to sit down in an empty seat next to her, and then looked at Liu Tong and said, "Didn't you tell him that the cast of Director Li An's movies is listed in order of appearance?"

Liu Tong said with a smile, "I thought everyone knew."

Wang Ziyu and her agent were even more embarrassed when they heard this. Then, Sister Kuan looked at the two of them and said, "Your name will be listed in the order of your appearance. For a newcomer, getting to act in Director Li An's movie is already a dream come true, and you're already thinking about fighting for top billing?"

As she spoke, Sister Kuan glanced at Wang Ziyu, who was also completely without makeup, and couldn't help but nod inwardly. She sighed and then said, "The young lady is indeed quite good, but you, as her manager, should do less of this kind of thing in the future, so as not to hold her back."

One sentence made the agent blush.

Wang Ziyu was overjoyed. She was praised by the producer and then by the top agent, both of whom were big names in the industry. How could she not be happy?

Even Shen Li couldn't help but whisper in Kuan Jie's ear, "She's really beautiful."

Sister Kuan smiled slightly and replied, "But not as good as you!"
