The assistant on the side said, “Mr. Nance, are we ready to begin now?”
Nance nodded and looked at Jiang Ling’er. He said, “Certainly. My beautiful angel, are you ready? If you are, we can start right away.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and replied, “I’m ready.”
As he watched Jiang Ling’er strike various graceful poses in front of him, Little Six’s heart began to race.
Jiang Ling’er was already stunning with just light makeup. If she were to be dressed up elaborately, wouldn’t she be a true goddess, causing the downfall of nations and calamities?
Before, Little Six had thought of Jiang Ling’er as just a bit more beautiful than average. However, he had never realized just how perfect Jiang Ling’er’s figure was. Today, upon seeing her, Little Six suddenly understood the meaning of someone being so beautiful that it’s impossible to look away.
As he looked at her, one word popped into Little Six’s head: “Goddess.”
Jiang Ling’er went on to have five sets of photos taken while wearing various outfits and jewelry. The assistant noticed that Nance still didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.
The assistant said, “Mr. Nance, this is just a screen test. Haven’t we taken enough photos by now? Shouldn’t we be shooting videos at this point?”
Nance looked surprised and exclaimed, “What did you say? You must be kidding, right? This is just a screen test? But why is Miss Jiang wearing genuine items, not props?”
The assistant nodded very seriously, confirming that this was indeed just an audition.
Nance looked a bit disappointed and turned to Jiang Ling’er with an apologetic expression.
He said, “Miss Jiang, 1 thought this was a formal shoot, and your extraordinary beauty made me get carried away and take more shots. 1 lost track of time. I’m sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “No need to apologize. It’s an honor for me to model for you.”
At that moment, the director spoke up, “Set designer, let’s get to work and prepare for the next phase.”
All the crew members immediately sprang into action, swiftly changing the backdrop.
During this break, Jiang Ling’er also changed into her sixth set of clothing and accessories and had already memorized her lines for the ad.
With everything in place, the director gave the cue to start.
Jiang Ling’er gracefully appeared on camera.
Her noble and elegant movements, paired with her perfect voice, entranced everyone watching. Even after Jiang Ling’er had finished her lines, the director didn’t call for a stop immediately.
Jiang Ling’er waited for over thirty seconds before the director realized and finally uttered the word, “Perfect.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling’er smiled to herself. This screen test went quite well. She looked at the crew members and said, “Thank you all for your hard work.”
Jiang Ling’er’s polite gesture earned her the goodwill of everyone present, and many praised her.
Meanwhile, Nance reviewed the just-completed video several times.
He earnestly told Jiang Ling’er, “Miss Jiang, if you sign with Chen Group, we will have more opportunities to work together.”
Jiang Ling’er humbly replied, “It all depends on Mr. Chen, whether he’s satisfied with this screen test.”
Nance said, “1 believe he will be particularly satisfied. I’ll choose some photos and send them to him along with this video. Once he sees them, he’ll be deeply impressed.”
The assistant chimed in, saying, “Mr. Nance, as per your instructions, 1’11 make copies of the video right away. For the photos, we’ll select two from each set.” Nance was astonished and said, “What’s the hurry?”
The assistant explained, “All of these shots are excellent. We can’t send them all, can we? You have time to choose, but the CEO might not. That’s why we’ll pick two photos from each set now. The CEO is already pressing for them.”
Upon hearing this, Nance began selecting the photos.
Jiang Ling’er hesitated for a moment and said, “Hello, haven’t we finished already?”
The assistant confirmed, “Yes, we’re done, Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Ling’er continued, “Then I’ll go change and we should put away these accessories.”
The assistant nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll be ready here shortly. I’ll come find you, and we’ll go meet Mr. Chen together.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and then, accompanied by some crew members, returned to the dressing room.
In the meeting room, Chen Yizhou and Old Master Jiang watched Jiang Ling’er’s screen test.
Although Chen Yizhou had known that Jiang Ling’er would perform well, he was still amazed when he saw the final product. Jiang Ling’er had surpassed Chen Yizhou’s expectations by far.
Old Master Jiang was deeply shocked as well. Could Ling’er really be this capable? Her ability to play dumb and eat smart was impressive. After all these years, he hadn’t realized it.
Chen Yizhou said, “Old Master Jiang, after seeing this, do you still believe your granddaughter is inferior to others?”
