Chapter 280: Mo Shiyun’s Thoughts

After school, Mo Shiyun returned to her new residence.

This was the place that Ms. Qian had arranged for her and her mother.

However, Mo Shiyun didn’t want to live off Ms. Qian’s kindness. Due to this reason, she promised Ms. Qian that she would pay for the rent as soon as she got the money for the commercial.

When Aunt Mo saw her daughter return from school, she rushed up and took Mo Shiyun’s school bag. “Hurry, Ms. Qian is waiting for you in the living room!”

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Mo Shiyun hurriedly went to the living room. There, she saw the gentle and kind Ms. Qian.

Ms. Qian was around thirty years old. Her face gave off a sweet-tempered and gentle vibe.

To Mo Shiyun, Ms. Qian was an incredibly nice person.

A little boy who had just turned two years old was held in Ms. Qian’s arms. He climbed up and down and was incredibly lively and active.

“Shiyun, you’re back?”

“Yes, I just got back. You should have told me in advance that you were planning to come over here. I’ve kept you waiting,” Mo Shiyun said in an embarrassed voice.

“It’s fine. I know that I came here early. I knew that you wouldn’t be back from school at that time.” The smile on Ms. Qian’s face was gentle. “I came here today to tell you that the commercial from last time turned out incredibly well. And thus, I managed to get you a supporting role in a web drama. You won’t have that many scenes. It won’t take up much of your time and the pay is quite good as well.”

This time it wasn’t a commercial. It was a role in a drama.

Although it was a low-budget web drama, in this era, web dramas were quite prevalent. Even if it was a low-budget production, it could be a big hit to the public.

However, Mo Shiyun didn’t answer Ms. Qian immediately. She didn’t say yes or no right away.

Mo Shiyun was a little hesitant. She was now in her final year of high school. She would be sitting her college entrance examinations next year. As a result, if she spent too much time on other things, it may affect her studies.

“Are you worried that it will affect your studies?” Ms. Qian asked. She could tell that Mo Shiyun was conflicted about something.

“Mhmm,” Mo Shiyun responded. She didn’t intend to hide this from Ms. Qian, “I’m very thankful that you recommended me for such a good job. However, I’m still a bit worried.”

“It’s fine. You don’t need to think too much of this. If you’re worried that it might affect your studies, you can refuse. It’s fine.”

Ms. Qian knew that it could be difficult to make a living in the entertainment industry.

As of now, she could help Mo Shiyun get a few roles. At Mo Shiyun’s current age, the pay was relatively higher than the average job.

However, Ms. Qian couldn’t guarantee Mo Shiyun’s success in the entertainment industry. Eventually, Mo Shiyun had to rely on herself if she wanted to make a name for herself in the industry.

If she failed to make a living in the entertainment industry and dropped her current studies, then she would be at a loss of what to do.

“Think about it first and then answer me when you’re ready. I can wait for you until the end of the week,” Ms. Qian told Mo Shiyun.

“Thank you.”

Mo Shiyun thanked Ms. Qian repeatedly.

Ms. Qian and her son stayed at Mo Shiyun’s current residence for a little longer. She chatted with Mo Shiyun before she left.

At night, Mo Shiyun opened the campus forum again.

She glanced at the top post and noticed that the comments had already reached 999+. All of a sudden, her heart was filled with envy again.

Mo Shiyun’s heart was tingling with bitterness.

She was not jealous of Jian Yiling’s good birth. Nor was she jealous of the fact that Jian Yiling had grown up under the pampering of the Jian family.

She had always felt that although her mother was the only person she had, as long as they worked hard, they could live a happy and prosperous life.

However, things that happened made her realize that her efforts didn’t end up achieving much.

Then, a realization hit her.

No matter how hard she tried, just one move by those rich and spoiled girls would reduce her efforts to ashes.

After that realization, Mo Shiyun sent a message to Ms. Qian. She told Ms. Qian that she was willing to take on the role.
