The news spread quickly across the Internet. As soon as the news came out on the official blog, many students at Shenghua High School immediately knew about it.
This was because a lot of students had followed the official blog. And thus, when the official blog made an announcement, their phones would receive notifications from it.
At this moment, Zhu Sha was still talking to Mo Shiyun with great enthusiasm. However, the students around them had already received the news that Mo Shiyun had been replaced.
Mo Shiyun’s own phone had also received the notification. When she saw the contents of the message, her body immediately stiffened.
However, Zhu Sha still wasn’t aware of the situation. She continued to express her admiration and adoration towards Mo Shiyun.
“Shiyun, do you think you’ll become incredibly popular after this drama airs? Remember that web drama that aired a while ago? All the actors became popular all of a sudden.”
When Zhu Sha said this, her tone was still filled with admiration. However, these words were harsh on Mo Shiyun’s ears.
Zhu Sha still didn’t know about the situation. However, she noticed that all the students around her were casting strange glances at them. Thus, she felt secretly proud of her achievements.
She loved to see Jian Yiling be defeated. She loved to see her fail. She wanted people to know that Jian Yiling was not someone who could have everything that she wanted in life.
“Stop talking about it,” Mo Shiyun interrupted. There was a tremble in her voice as she said this.
“What’s wrong?” Zhu Sha asked. She was confused as to why Mo Shiyun suddenly interrupted her.
Mo Shiyun suddenly got up. She grabbed her phone and walked outside the cafeteria.
After a moment of hesitation, she pressed the dial button with trembling fingers.
The call that she was making was to Ms. Qian.
As soon as the call went through, Ms. Qian took the initiative to tell Mo Shiyun about the situation:
“Shiyun, I’m so sorry. The production team said they’re changing the cast.”
On the phone, Ms. Qian spoke with an incredibly apologetic tone.
She had only just found out about this matter as well.
As she was hesitating on whether or not to call Mo Shiyun, Mo Shiyun had called her first.
It was obvious that Mo Shiyun had called her because of this news.
“Why did they suddenly want to replace me?”
Mo Shiyun tried hard to control her voice. She didn’t want to vent her emotions.
“I’m not sure either. The team told me that they found a more suitable candidate.” This was the only answer that Ms. Qian give.
However, from Ms. Qian’s many years of experience, a so-called ‘more suitable candidate’ was often someone with a stronger background and financial standing. They could often provide more money and financial support to the production team.
Based on what she had heard so far, it was likely this replacement was the handiwork of one of the big shots in the entertainment industry.
Ms. Qian assumed that it wasn’t possible for Mo Shiyun to offend that big shot.
And thus, she was probably replaced because that big shot wanted to promote a newcomer that he was interested in. He just happened to pick the role that Mo Shiyun had been cast for.
However, Mo Shiyun was not convinced by Ms. Qian’s answer.
Her mind immediately flashed back to the day when she saw Jian Yiling at the restaurant.

Ms. Qian continued to comfort Mo Shiyun: “Shiyun, don’t be too sad about this. It’s okay to miss this role. I’ll help you find a more suitable role.”
But how could Mo Shiyun not be upset about this?
If she had been rejected at the audition, she would have just accepted it.
After all, she wasn’t a professional actress. She could accept and understand that she was not as good as the other candidates.
However, the director had acknowledged her during the audition. He had said that she was very talented.
The role had already been offered to her. Even an official announcement had been made.
