In the car, Shi Su looked at the driver and asked repeatedly, "Sir, are you sure you can earn back the gas money driving this kind of car to pick up passengers?"
Driver: "...Huh? I guess I can."
Driver’s inner thoughts: How would I know what whim the second young master of the Jing Family is on? Suddenly asking me to come and pick someone up here, and to even go through the trouble of pretending to be a Didi driver.
Meanwhile, at home, Jing Luozhou sneezed, wiped his nose with his hand, and glanced at the phone that had already been hung up.
He had no idea what the hell his brother was thinking either!
Isn’t Jing Jihan living a fugitive life outside? He just called, but didn’t talk about anything related to the company or ask how things are arranged at home, just wanted him to send a car to pick someone up. What’s going on?
The black Rolls-Royce delivered Shi Su to her destination at an absolute speed, neither too early nor too late, precisely at nine o’clock.
Shi Su didn’t have time for anything else, thanked the driver, quickly got out of the car, and ran into the area arranged by the film crew.
The martial arts director had also just arrived a minute before. As he walked inside, he happened to see Shi Su rushing in and directly said with displeasure, "Which role are you playing? Didn’t I say to be here before nine o’clock? Don’t you have any concept of punctuality? After the filming starts in a few days, do you want the director and the entire team to wait for you?"
Shi Su had clearly come in just on time, without being late.
She didn’t explain much, just nodded hastily at the martial arts director, "Sorry, the weather is really bad for calling a car. It was hard to get one, and I just barely made it on time. It’s my fault for not planning ahead properly."
The martial arts director scanned her from head to toe. She was beautiful, with skin so fair it looked dewy. There were many female stars in the industry, but such naturally beautiful women with such good skin and distinguished features weren’t seen that often.
He immediately lit a cigarette, blowing smoke rings as he squinted and asked, "Which role?"
"The second female lead in ’Yao Platform,’ playing Tian Yuli."
"Oh, the second female lead..." The martial arts director blew another smoke ring, took the file from the assistant beside him, and glanced at it. Initially, his eyes showed some respect, thinking that anyone who could play the second female lead in this drama must have some background.
After looking at it for a few moments, he suddenly stubbed out the cigarette butt and laughed mockingly, "You’re ranked fourth, what kind of second female lead is that? Don’t inflate your worth. The three lead actors in front of you are all more famous."
Without a background, resources, or fame, being overshadowed in any small low-budget production was very normal, especially in a drama with such a lineup.
Shi Su maintained an appropriate smile and didn’t respond.
"Go and wait over there." The martial arts director no longer paid her any attention and casually pointed to a waiting area outside the venue.
Over there, a few special guest extras with unrecognizable names were sitting, enduring the strong wind and heavy rain, just waiting.
The cast was supposed to arrive before nine, but they might have to wait until nine o’clock at night to even have a chance to do a pressure test.
Shi Su was used to this kind of situation and didn’t bother to argue. She was just about to head over.
The assistant suddenly patted the martial arts director’s back: "Qiang, look over there."
The martial arts director followed the direction and looked outside the venue, seeing a black Rolls-Royce parked there.
Having been in the fame-driven industry long enough, the martial arts director recognized at a glance that the Rolls-Royce was a globally limited edition commemorative model, not something a simple wealthy person could buy!
People who own such cars are not just simply rich or powerful, but are mostly well-known big figures.
He was puzzled: "Nice car, so what?" This content belongs to novel⦿fire.net
The assistant gestured at the direction where Shi Su had already walked away and lowered his voice, "She just got out of that car."
The martial arts director’s expression froze, his eyes changing repeatedly. He quickly shouted to Shi Su, "Hey, I forgot, you lead actors have a resting area inside. You, Shi Su, go wait inside!"
