Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Yizhou nodded and said, “Let’s proceed with the audition for Miss Jiang.”
The assistant immediately nodded and turned to Jiang Ling’er, saying, “Miss Jiang, please follow me.”
Jiang Ling’er stood up and told Chen Yizhou, “Mr. Chen, I’ll go for the audition now. Excuse me.”
Chen Yizhou nodded in acknowledgment.
Jiang Ling’er also looked at her grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I’m going for the audition. Please wait here for me.”
Her grandfather smiled and replied, “Of course, go ahead.”
Suddenly, Little Six, who had been quiet, spoke up, “Mr. Chen, may 1 accompany Miss Jiang?”
Chen Yizhou pondered for a moment and then said, “Sure.”
After the assistant led Jiang Ling’er and Little Six out of the room, Chen Yizhou took out a contract and placed it in front of Old Master Jiang.
Chen Yizhou said, “Old Master Jiang, this is the contract. Please take a look.”
Jiang’s grandfather didn’t immediately review the contract.
Instead, he put it aside and smiled, saying, “I’ll take a look at the contract later. It’s an honor for Jiang Ling’er to catch your attention, but I have a question, Mr. Chen. Why did you choose Ling’er? From every perspective, Ling’er is not the best choice.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “1 also have some understanding of the previous brand ambassadors of the Chen Group. They were all top-tier celebrities, each better than Ling’er by a significant margin. If Chen Group signs Ling’er, it will undoubtedly upset many people. If she succeeds, everything will be fine, but if she doesn’t, Ling’er will not only face ridicule from those people, but the Chen Group will also incur substantial losses. Mr. Chen, are you willing to take such a risk?”
Chen Yizhou laughed when he heard this.
He said, “Old Master Jiang, you might not know Miss Jiang very well. Miss Jiang is very outstanding. When the audition results are out, you can go and take a look to see if Miss Jiang is good enough. As for now, please have a look at the contract. If there are any concerns, we can make changes immediately.”
Old Master Jiang realized that Chen Group indeed wanted to sign Jiang Ling’er. This was an excellent opportunity for her, and it would undoubtedly propel her to fame. Whether for Jiang Ling’er or the Jiang family, it held great potential benefits.
After thinking for a while, Old Master Jiang began to review the contract.
On the other side, with the CEO’s assistant overseeing everything, all the staff did not dare to neglect Jiang Ling’er.
The stylist presented the audition outfits personally selected by Chen Yizhou and allowed Jiang Ling’er to choose whichever she liked.
Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but wonder why there was such a selection for a screen test. When she learned that it was all arranged by the CEO himself, she was a bit surprised but didn’t think too much of it. She casually picked a set of clothes.
Jiang Ling’er, naturally beautiful, didn’t need heavy makeup, so it was done rather quickly.
Then, the stylist brought a box of accessories and carefully helped Jiang Ling’er put them on. They stressed that these accessories were worth millions and must be handled with great care.
Jiang Ling’er assured them that she understood and would be careful.
With everything prepared, accompanied by the praise from everyone around her, Jiang Ling’er looked at her reflection in the mirror. She felt that she was barely an eight out of ten in terms of looks.
The assistant and the crew accompanied Jiang Ling’er as they went to the screen test location. Though it was called a screen test, it was set up like an actual shoot, hardly any different.
When Jiang Ling’er arrived, everyone began to discuss her.
At this moment, a handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes, holding a camera, said in fairly fluent Mandarin, “Oh my God, this young lady, you are truly beautiful, like an angel.”
He immediately started taking photos of Jiang Ling’er.
The assistant cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Nance, this is the Miss Jiang. She’s the one that our CEO talked to you about.”
Nance raised an eyebrow, seemingly impressed by his old friend’s taste.
The assistant then turned to Jiang Ling’er and introduced Nance, “Miss Jiang, this is Mr. Nance, the internationally renowned photographer hired by our CEO with a high fee.”
Nance, upon hearing the assistant’s words, was momentarily stunned.
Jiang Ling’er saw this and almost couldn’t help but laugh. The assistant’s words about the high fee seemed a bit contrived.
She politely greeted Mr. Nance, “Hello, Mr. Nance, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
While taking photos, Mr. Nance responded, “Ms. Jiang, I’m very happy to meet a young lady like you who looks like an angel.”
This oriental woman in front of him wasn’t a superstar, but she was extraordinarily beautiful, and more importantly, incredibly composed. She easily surpassed many of the stars he had worked with. It was no wonder the CEO had dropped those other celebrities and chosen Jiang Ling’er.
Jiang Ling’er replied with a slightly bewildered tone, “Mr. Nance, you’re too kind.”
This foreign handsome guy seemed to really enjoy taking photos for others. But given the expensive camera he was using, it would be a real waste if he didn’t..
