Gong Xiaoqiao wasn't exactly lying; the lead role had indeed not been decided yet.
The entertainment industry was so complex after all. Being a newcomer, she couldn't possibly expect to land such an important role just by riding on Jinmulin's recommendation.
But this was indeed a great opportunity, and she had no reason to give up on or refuse Jinmulin's help.
She was also not that naive to still believe that one could break into the entertainment industry solely on personal merit and emerge unscathed.
If her mother hadn't had such bad luck back in the day, she wouldn't have ended up unable to utilize her talents and ultimately died full of regrets.
Han Yingnai sighed, "Ah! What a classic cannon fodder role!"
Yin Xidi remarked with emotion, "Ye Mengqin landing the lead role in 'Red Makeup' has been confirmed. The crew just had a press conference yesterday."
"She's really got fortune on her side…" Wenya said enviously.
