Ji Xiangchen’s reaction caught Xia Qing off guard, but she quickly adjusted her mood.
Although she and Ji Xiangchen had met several times, most of them were at banquets, so it was normal that he didn’t remember her.
Xia Qing touched her hair and introduced herself: “Hello, my name is Xia Qing, I’m your brother’s friend. We met at the cocktail party before, you forgot.”
After this reminder, Ji Xiangchen felt that he seemed to have seen her somewhere.
Wait, Ji Xiangchen took a closer look and it seemed to be the currently very popular star, Xia Qing.
If she hadn’t told me, he would have thought that he had owed her a debt of love in college, which scared him to death. Ji Xiangchen calmed down and said, “What do you want from me?”
If Ji Xiangnian’s friends don’t look for Ji Xiangnian to have tea and chat, why would they look for him for no reason?
Xia Qing lifted the hair behind her ears and handed the gift box in her hand to Ji Xiangchen. Xia Qing was always enthusiastic when facing that man’s brother. Ji Xiangyi had a very good relationship with her. Under her management, she had already regarded herself as a friend.
She believed that Ji Xiangchen was the same.
”It’s like this. I just happen to have a role in Director Wang’s drama, and I heard from your brother that you were here too, so when I came over, I brought you some food.”
Ji Xiangchen’s gaze stopped on the food gift box. The outer packaging of the gift box looked very delicate. One could tell with a little bit of imagination that it was carefully prepared and it was not cheap.
However, Ji Xiangchen was not very interested in these things, and since childhood, Ji Xiangchen had hated Ji Xiangnian from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, it will also be affected by Ji Xiangnian’s good friends.
In Ji Xiangchen’s mind, being mixed with Ji Xiangnian’s kind of friend is definitely not a good thing.
God knows if she was sent by Ji Xiangnian to poison him: “No, I have money to buy it myself.”
Faced with Ji Xiangchen’s repeated rejections, Xia Qing looked a little embarrassed. As the eldest daughter of the Xia family, she had never received such a clear cold shoulder either at home or at work.
Even Ji Xiangnian, the man she liked, treated her with great respect.
Naturally, she was unhappy about being humiliated like this.
A hint of disgust flashed across her delicate face.
Xia Qing opened her mouth awkwardly and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a voice called Ji Xiangchen not far away.
Xia Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fang Ning. She was standing not far away, waving and calling Ji Xiangchen.
Even though she was far away, she could see that Ji Xiangchen’s expression changed instantly.
Xia Qing looked straight at Fang Ning, and the look in her eyes slowly changed from calm to disgust.
As soon as Fang Ning called him, Ji Xiangchen instantly gave up the idea of continuing to talk nonsense with Xia Qing: “Excuse me, I have something else to do and I’ll leave first.”
Although Fang Ning is on Ji Xiangnian’s side and is Ji Xiangnian’s wife, she is different from Ji Xiangnian’s cronies.
Fang Ning has a mouth and helps him to curse people, so awesome!
Ji Xiangnian is older and when he was a kid he would be beaten if he didn’t listen. It was scary.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiangchen couldn’t help but quicken his pace towards Fang Ning.
Watching Ji Xiangchen walking away, Xia Qing’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. This time, she was even more certain that Ji Xiangchen was interested in Fang Ning.
In Xia Qing’s eyes, someone like Fang Ning is really not worthy of Ji Xiangchen’s attention. As that man’s younger brother, he deserves someone better.
But the person involved didn’t know what Xia Qing was thinking, and ran to Fang Ning happily.
Fang Ning was holding a tray of food and motioned to Ji Xiangchen: “Hey, Ji Xiangchen, do you want to eat together?”
After she removed her makeup, she was very hungry, so she went to the hotel restaurant.
Because there are filming bases nearby, film crews often rent hotels. The food in the hotel restaurants is quite good, including buffets, drinks, and food from eight major cuisines. There are many varieties of food, but the prices are a bit expensive, costing over a thousand yuan for a meal.
Before she transmigrated into the book, as a social animal who only earned 10,000 yuan a month working 996 hours a month, her heart would bleed if she ate a meal that cost almost 1,000 yuan.
But now I think that I am a wealthy woman with a monthly income of several million, so I don’t need to save money anymore.
After paying the bill and picking up some food, I vaguely saw Ji Xiangchen and called out, but I didn’t expect it was really him.
”Do you want to? I’ll treat you.” She is now a wealthy woman with a monthly income of several million. Last time, Ji Xiangchen treated her to takeout. Logically, she should treat him back. The most important thing is that she has been staying in the room on the set for the past few days, eating takeout, and there is no one to talk to. She is very depressed and feels uncomfortable.
”good.”
Facing this sister-in-law who had a big mouth and helped him to curse, Ji Xiangchen certainly would not refuse, so the two of them sat down. Of course, as a contestant on a diet, Ji Xiangchen ate green vegetables.
Fang Ning glanced at the vegetables in Ji Xiangchen’s bowl and complained inwardly,
While eating, Fang Ning suddenly remembered what happened to Ji Xiangchen and Zhou Lu.
Although the system had told her everything, she still wanted to gossip.
She still wanted to ask how far their hatred had progressed.
Fang Ning pressed the chopsticks, and asked casually: “Ji Xiangchen, do you have a grudge against Zhou Lu?”
Ji Xiangchen stopped picking up the vegetables. When she talked about Zhou Lu, he couldn’t control his emotions. That idiot was gossiping to Fang Ning yesterday.
It doesn’t matter if you scold him or destroy his image in front of others. He doesn’t care what others think of him.
He doesn’t care about these things.
However, Ji Xiangchen was still a little annoyed. He looked up and glanced at Fang Ning inadvertently, who was eating slowly.
Not knowing what was wrong, Ji Xiangchen felt a little irritated. He inexplicably didn’t want Fang Ning to misunderstand him: “Did you hear what that idiot Zhou Lu said? Don’t listen to his nonsense. I didn’t do the things he said.”
”I don’t have a bad temper, and I don’t hit people. Don’t listen to that idiot.”
The young man’s tone was chaotic but sincere, with a hint of fear in it.
Fang Ning nodded: “I know, I believe it.”
It’s not like she hasn’t read the plot of this book, so of course she believes it.
Hearing Fang Ning’s words, Ji Xiangchen lowered his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a feeling of nervousness arose in his heart. No, why should he explain all this to Fang Ning?
He remembered that since he could remember, he would never explain anything to others if he was wronged or misunderstood outside.
Even when he got into a fight with an idiot in junior high school and was bleeding, he was too lazy to explain when faced with Ji Xiangnian’s questioning.
There was also some stuff he was attacked for online, and when his agent asked him about it, he was too lazy to say anything.
He never bothered to explain anything. In his heart, he felt that people who believed in him would naturally believe in him. What was there to explain?
No, why should he explain today!
Why am I afraid? I am afraid that Fang Ning will misunderstand me.
This feeling is really bad and annoying. I feel like a puppy who is afraid of being abandoned by Fang Ning. It’s really annoying.
I will never do such stupid things again!
However, when Ji Xiangchen looked at Fang Ning’s bright eyes that showed trust in him.
Ji Xiangchen’s passion was extinguished instantly. He pushed the dish he hadn’t eaten to Fang Ning and said expressionlessly, “This is delicious. I give it to you.”
Why does she trust himself so unconditionally? How stupid.
Fang Ning discovered that Ji Xiangchen was actually a straightforward yet awkward boy.
She doesn’t like eating green leaves, though!
Looking at Ji Xiangchen’s fluffy head with raised hair, Fang Ning sighed:
[At first glance, I can tell that Ji Xiangchen is no match for that green tea guy, Zhou Lu.]
When Ji Xiangchen heard Fang Ning say this, he was stunned for a moment, but after all, he had heard it so many times, so he quickly pulled himself out of it. He once again generously pushed the vegetables that he was reluctant to eat to Fang Ning’s hands: “This is delicious, really.”
Fang Ning frowned as she looked at the grass that Ji Xiangchen pushed over. She really wanted to say that she really didn’t like eating grass! She liked eating meat!
———
This little episode was seen by the other two people.
Zhou Lu was also eating nearby with another actor he knew, and saw Fang Ning and Ji Xiangchen sitting together for dinner.
The two of them curled their lips, looked at each other, and made a light “tsk” sound.
Of course, when Fang Ning and Ji Xiangchen were here, they naturally didn’t dare to say anything too excessive.
But when Fang Ning and Ji Xiangchen left, Zhou Lu couldn’t help but make an exaggerated disgusted expression: “Did you see that? I told you, tsk, there’s something wrong with these two people.”
The man opposite, hearing this, became curious again and lowered his voice: “Are you sure? Are they really…?”
Zhou Lu was disgusted with Ji Xiangchen in the first place, and he would not let go of any chance to disgust Ji Xiangchen. Moreover, he felt that he had not lied. Based on the way Fang Ning had defended Ji Xiangchen before, he did not believe that the two of them had no relationship at all.
So he is not spreading rumors now.
”Nonsense, tut tut tut, I don’t know what Fang Ning’s taste is, she likes trash like Ji Xiangchen.”
”And Fang Ning, an 18th-tier actress, actually managed to get Director Wang’s role. Do you think it’s possible that there’s no one behind her? Brother Ji Xiangchen also thinks highly of her. He’s really stupid.”
As he was talking, Zhou Lu realized that his good friend did not agree with him, nor did he eat, but just stared blankly behind him.
Zhou Lu waved his hand in front of his eyes in confusion; “What are you doing, are you scared?”
The man pointed his finger stiffly behind Zhou Lu, without saying a word, just looking behind him.
Why is he pointing behind him? There is something behind him. Zhou Lu looked behind him in confusion.
Before he could see the person behind him, a solid fist rushed towards him, followed by Ji Xiangchen’s cold voice: “Zhou Lu, don’t go too far.”
———
Fang Ning and Ji Xiangchen went back after dinner, but met Director Wang and the assistant director on the way.
Director Wang was holding a script and was planning to let Fang Ning try out a play produced by his friend.
After two days of contact, he felt that Fang Ning was indeed a talented person with great potential. It just so happened that his friend was looking for actors for a new play, and there was a role that had not been found for a long time.
Just today, a friend showed him the script. He felt Fang Ning was suitable in every aspect. After two days of seeing her, he found that there was no problem with Fang Ning’s acting skills.
So today he wanted to come over and ask her if she had the intention. Director Wang explained: “This role is very suitable for you in terms of image and other aspects. Do you want to try it?”
Fang Ning was a little surprised that Director Wang actually came to her in person. Of course, others would bring resources to your doorstep.
She wants to lie down and take advantage of the situation, but anyone who pushes the opportunity to make money is a fool!
Only children make choices, she wants both.
Fang Ning nodded: “Director Wang, I want to take a look at the script first. If it’s suitable, I’m willing to give it a try.”
The two found a place to sit down, and Director Wang introduced the play to Fang Ning: “This play is directed by my old friend Director Zhang. He has been preparing to shoot an art film recently, and he hasn’t found a suitable actress for the second female role.”
”He just sent me the script and I took a look at it. I think you are quite suitable for this role. See if you want to give it a try.”
Ever since she discovered yesterday that she had a talent for acting, Fang Ning felt that she could continue in this area.
On the one hand, the entertainment industry can make money.
The second reason is, who hasn’t had the experience of playing a fairy wrapped in a bed sheet when they were a kid? Who hasn’t dreamed of becoming an actor?
Fang Ning looked through the script carefully.
This script: is a movie about thinking about life.
The name is “Homeward Journey.”
Several characters of different classes, statuses, ages and genders are searching for the meaning of life.
The role that Director Wang wanted her to try was a confused girl who couldn’t find a job after graduating from college.
After studying for more than ten or twenty years, I couldn’t even find a job that could support myself after graduation.
She tried to redeem herself and also tried to commit suicide, but both failed. Finally, by chance, she met a wandering beggar, and she followed the beggar to wander for more than a month.
In a month, she went through a lot of things, and finally successfully found hope, found herself, and found her way home.
”Although this movie doesn’t have a big production or big traffic, the overall quality of the script is still good. Fang Ning, you can consider it.”
Fang Ning closed the script and said slowly, “Director Wang, I can’t decide these things by myself. I have to listen to the decision of my agent and the company. Besides, I am willing to try new roles, but I may not necessarily get this role, don’t you think?”
Director Wang disagreed with Fang Ning’s opinion: “Fang Ning, I have high hopes for you. As long as you want to go, this role will definitely belong to you.”
His vision is like a ruler, he never makes mistakes!!
”Of course, accepting a role is no small matter. I should discuss it with my agent. I am also helping people. This matter still depends on you. I have other things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
After Director Wang left, Fang Ning called her agent Sister Wu and talked about this matter. She thought Sister Wu would want her to think about it carefully.
Who knew that after she finished speaking, her agent’s shock couldn’t be reduced even through the phone: “Fang Ning! What the hell are you talking about! You said you want to consider Director Zhang’s play! Are you crazy! Or am I crazy!”
”How many people would want to play in Director Zhang’s movies?”
Director Zhang is a well-known genius director in the entertainment industry. His plays are all aimed at awards! In addition, his requirements are extremely strict, so it is impossible for someone like Fang Ning, who has some acting skills, to get in.
Even those monsters with no acting skills can be made to act after being transformed by him into acting skills after being put into his movies.
However, this kind of talented director has many bad habits. When casting, he does not consider acting skills or appearance, but only looks at the eye contact, and calls it matching the character setting.
If you can’t get past his standards, even the most powerful person will have to get out of here.
What on earth is Fang Ning hesitating about? Any hesitation for even a second would be disrespectful to her identity as an actress!
Fang Ning felt a little confused. There was no information about this director in the plot. Since the agent said so, Fang Ning agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Ning planned to go to Director Wang to discuss the situation.
The director was just walking towards the restaurant.
Fang Ning walked towards the restaurant, but before she found Director Wang, she saw Ji Xiangchen fighting.
Ji Xiangchen and two other people rolled to the ground, punching and kicking each other.
Fang Ning looked carefully and found that the person fighting with Ji Xiangchen was Zhou Lu. Of course, she didn’t know the other person.
Fang Ning didn’t have much feeling about this fight. After all, as long as the fight didn’t kill the person, she didn’t mind using fists to resolve the conflict without using knives.
But why is Ji Xiangchen at a disadvantage? He is the one being beaten!
She knew that Ji Xiangchen’s mouth was not good! She didn’t think that his fists were not strong enough!
I really didn’t expect that he could be so bad!
No one else present dared to go up. Ji Xiangchen’s assistant was a little girl who could only stand by and worry.
There was no security guard in sight. Seeing the other two people holding Ji Xiangchen down and punching him again and again, Ji Xiangchen could only curl up his body and cover his head with his hands in pain.
Looking at the painful expression, I know that those two people hit him hard.
Seeing this, Fang Ning didn’t say too much. She picked up the beer next to her and walked over, and hit Zhou Lu’s shoulder, who had hit the hardest, fiercely: “Ji Xiangchen, did your brother forgot to teach you to remember to take a weapon when fighting?”
