66: He is my hero.

Seeing the selection nearing its end, Zhang Liang was also helpless.

The two Female Internet Celebrities beside him tugged hard at his arms, signaling him to quickly think of a way.

Zhang Liang was flustered; seeing Wang Tangtang at the back made him even more furious.

"What are you guys in a hurry for? Didn't you see that Wang Tangtang isn't even worried?"

"She even has a child; logically, she should be more anxious than you."

Zhang Liang lowered his voice to comfort the two Female Internet Celebrities, but Wang Tangtang overheard his words.

Her explosive temper!

She had already endured it once. Now that she was going the hell home to livestream and leaving this industry, why the hell should she keep holding back!

"Zhang Liang! Are you fucking sick? What are you yapping about over there?"

Wang Tangtang's roar silenced the entire room.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Zhang Liang and Wang Tangtang.

The two Female Internet Celebrities fled from Zhang Liang's side as if avoiding a plague, terrified of being associated with him in the slightest.

"You, you, you—don't throw mud! The leaders are all here. If you want to throw a tantrum, do it somewhere else!"

Zhang Liang's face turned pale and blue by turns, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart felt chilled. How was this woman acting like such a lunatic!

A Director saw this and immediately stepped out to maintain order, barking, "Zhang Liang! What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Liang stammered, "N-n-nothing's wrong. Just joking, just joking."

The Director of the Livestreaming Department shouted again, "Wang Tangtang, mind the occasion!"

Then, with a fawning smile, he said to Li Na, "CEO Li, just a small interlude. I'll have these two leave immediately."

Meanwhile, Cao Lang's gaze fell upon Wang Tangtang in the crowd.

"Tangtang?" Cao Lang called out softly.

Wang Tangtang was stunned. How did this Mr. Cao know her? And what did he just call her? Tangtang? Only people close to her would call her that.

"You know her?" Li Na came over and asked in a low voice.

Cao Lang nodded and smiled. "Not only do I know her, but she's also one of the candidates I've scouted for the female lead."

As soon as those words were spoken, the way everyone looked at Wang Tangtang changed. The female lead???

Zhang Liang's face turned even paler, his lips trembling slightly.

"One of the female leads?" Although Li Na was surprised, she quickly accepted the decision. Whoever Cao Lang chose was the one; there was no need to question it.

"Of course. I've watched her livestreams. Her image and temperament both meet the requirements for the female lead of urban tycoon."

Cao Lang walked up to Wang Tangtang and said gently, "Interested in giving it a try?"

Wang Tangtang couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Cao Lang, then at Li Na, and then at the dumbstruck Zhang Liang, suddenly realizing something.

"I... I'm willing to try." Wang Tangtang took a deep breath and mustered the courage to nod in agreement.

"Very good." Cao Lang smiled with satisfaction and turned to CEO Li. "CEO Li, I've decided on this casting. You can arrange the other minor roles as you see fit."

Li Na nodded slightly. "Please rest assured, CEO Cao. I will arrange the best resources for Miss Wang."

As Cao Lang walked past Zhang Liang, he stopped and gave him a faint glance. "What is your name?"

"Zhang... Zhang Liang, Coordinator of the Artist Department." Zhang Liang's voice trembled with nervousness.

"Oh, I'll remember that." Cao Lang said nonchalantly, then turned and walked into the meeting room with Li Na.

Those four simple words made Zhang Liang feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he quickly slunk away from the scene.

After Cao Lang and Li Na left, a group of Female Internet Celebrities swarmed around Wang Tangtang, fussing over her with concern.

"Tangtang, congratulations! You finally got a role."

"Yes, your hard work has finally paid off!"

"I've been annoyed with Zhang Liang for a long time; what you did was so satisfying!"

Wang Tangtang felt like she was still in a dream, hearing the surrounding chatter only hazily. Her mind was filled with the image of Cao Lang's calm, smiling face.

CEO Cao was like an unparalleled hero stepping on seven-colored auspicious clouds, rescuing her from her misery at her most helpless, saddest, and most heartbroken moment!

Wang Tangtang tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, her palms drenched in sweat from excitement!

Who on earth was this CEO Cao?

Wang Tangtang inquired with the surrounding Female Internet Celebrities, but not a single person knew Cao Lang; no one knew who this mysterious man was!

"He's so young! And so powerful!"

"Right, young and promising! Whoever he is, we must take him seriously from now on!"

Some Female Internet Celebrities plucked up the courage to ask the Directors about CEO Cao's background, but the Directors only shook their heads with bitter smiles, saying they didn't know.

Wang Tangtang accidentally opened her moments and saw a new update from Cao Lang.

Villain: [urban tycoon has finally finished casting. Damn it, Xigua Novel doesn't know quality when they see it, so I'll film the short drama myself!]

A sudden realization struck Wang Tangtang!

Villain is CEO Cao?!

It turns out she had been followed by this mysterious big shot all along!

CEO Cao had tipped her a hundred thousand yuan in gifts, and she had actually rejected his dinner invitation. She really deserved to die!

Wang Tangtang wished she could give herself a few hard slaps across the face.

A swift steed is common, but a talent scout is rare. She had finally waited for her talent scout, yet this steed had kept him at a distance.

Wang Tangtang immediately composed a message on green bubble and sent it.

Wang Tangtang: [CEO Cao, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Yesterday, I failed to recognize your greatness; please forgive me. Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner!]

[CEO Cao, today I didn't mean to disrupt your casting either; I just couldn't help myself. I'm usually very gentle!]

[CEO Cao...]

Wang Tangtang composed and sent many messages; a thousand words couldn't express her gratitude for Cao Lang's kindness!

Cao Lang was about to head back after finishing his work when he saw the messages from Wang Tangtang, feeling a bit conflicted.

There was an Irina in the hotel.

If he had dinner with Wang Tangtang tonight, where would he sleep?

With money came more troubles, but Cao Lang left the choices for later. Since he was hungry now, he'd eat first.

Villain: [I'm waiting for you downstairs.]

Wang Tangtang almost wept with joy when she saw the message. This benefactor had finally agreed to have dinner with her.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, quickly find that blue short skirt I bought yesterday. I need to change right now."

Wang Tangtang beckoned to her assistant, Xiao Li, while she quickly ran to the dressing room to check her makeup... "Where is Tangtang going?"

"I don't know. Maybe she's going to celebrate."

"Do you think Tangtang's butt is so big that it'll look okay on camera?"

"Yeah, and her thighs are so thick... she might not really be able to handle this role."

Wherever women gather, they always like to huddle together and gossip.

They always assumed men liked thin women, limited by their own perceptions. In reality, Wang Tangtang's figure was the best of the best in men's eyes... it had already been scored 98 points by the System!

Wang Tangtang changed her clothes and hurried downstairs to meet CEO Cao.

Cao Lang was boredly looking at the scenery from inside the rolls-royce when a beautiful figure suddenly burst into his view.

She wore a slanted-collar innocent-yet-desirable T-shirt on top and a blue miniskirt on the bottom. Her slender, graspable waist was exposed, and her curvaceous, long legs were as dazzling as white jade pillars.

Seeing Cao Lang through the rear window of the rolls-royce, Wang Tangtang jogged over excitedly.

Arriving at the window, she covered her chest and bowed, smiling sweetly at Cao Lang, her two sexy legs pressed together without a gap.

"CEO Cao, good evening!"

"Get in."
