“Thank you for your appreciation, Director Xue. I’m really sorry but I’m afraid I can’t accept it.”

Gu Li refused with a troubled expression.

Xue Huaimo’s invitation was indeed very tempting. However, she didn’t want to be a celebrity, so she naturally couldn’t agree.

The other people around them widened their eyes in disbelief. She actually rejected Director Xue’s offer?!

After all, Xue Huaimo was currently the most famous director in the local film industry and he had a certain status internationally. All the actors who had acted as the male and female leads in his movies have basically all become famous.

If Gu Li is to act in his movie, with her superior appearance and outstanding acting skills, she will definitely win the Best Actress Award in less than two years.

Yet she doesn’t want it?!

The first to react was the show’s director, Director Yang. “Teacher Gu, you have to think it through carefully. It’s Director Xue’s movie. There won’t be another opportunity like this if you miss it.”

“Gu Li, it’s rare for Director Xue to take a liking to you. Don’t be ungrateful!”

Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but reprimand her.

In his opinion, this little girl was being so smug after she was praised a few times that she wasn’t even putting a famous director in her eyes. She really thinks too highly of herself!

“What are you thinking by not grasping such a good opportunity?”

Xu Jin was curious.

Xue Huaimo was equally puzzled.

This was the first time he had been rejected when giving someone a role in his movie, so he instead was taking Gu Li even more seriously.

Gu Li found a reason to explain herself. “I appreciate your kindness, seniors. But my family has strict rules and they don’t agree to have me enter the entertainment industry, and I don’t want to disobey them either.”

“That’s a pity.”

Xue Huaimo sighed, but he still didn’t give up. “There’s still some time before the shooting starts. Think about it again. I’ll keep the role of Tian Wu for you first.”

At this point, Gu Li would seem a little insensible if she rejected him directly. Therefore, she could only nod and smile as she said, “Okay. Thank you, Director.”

After this small incident, other than Cheng Ying, the other three judges treated Gu Li much more kindly. When the recording started, they had all started to call her ‘Little G’.

Seeing this, Cheng Ying hated her even more.

Especially when she thought about how she had to apologize to her on Weibo tonight, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
