A familiar voice came through, and Ji Niandong looked up to see Shen Congjun standing nearby, clearly wanting to speak but purposely keeping his distance. She politely nodded and then turned away as if she hadn't seen him, sitting down.
The director had already started speaking; Shen Congjun awkwardly coughed and found a place to sit.
Zhou Yiqing noticed their prior subtle interactions and asked quietly, "I remember you two were childhood friends before? Why aren't you speaking to each other now?"
"We have no connection now," Ji Niandong responded lightly, as if dealing with a stranger.
Zhou Yiqing frowned, somewhat puzzled, "What happened in these five years that you haven't even contacted Shen Congjun?"
"Pretty much!" Ji Niandong reminded him, "Listen to what the director is saying!"
Zhou Yiqing then fell silent, glancing toward Shen Congjun and noticed him looking this way. He quickly turned to watch the director, pretending nothing happened.
Since the script discussion was private, there were no journalists on site. Everyone voiced their opinions freely, and the discussion soon came to an end.
"Everyone can get to know each other; we'll be filming within the same crew later, and a launch ceremony will be held shortly!"
Everyone applauded, indicating the end of the meeting. The director and staff left one by one to prepare for the launch ceremony!
Ji Niandong had just relaxed a bit when a voice rang out, "Who's playing Shen Xiaole?"
Qiao Anlu asked loudly. She herself was tall, with a flawless figure, standing there as if she were a landscape.
Qiao Anlu was famously known for being a diva with a bad temper, but her looks, figure, and acting skills received positive reviews in the industry, and her fans loved her for her arrogance.
In the words of her fans, if you're good-looking, everything you do is right!
With her question, the room fell silent. Ji Niandong stood up and replied, "It's me! Hello, Miss Qiao. My name is Ji Niandong!"
"Ji Niandong?" Her eyes were full of disdain, "What awards have you won? I don't know any."
Everyone's eyes were on Ji Niandong; no one made a sound, but Ji Niandong didn't shy away, smiling as she replied, "Just an unremarkable 'three-no' person!"
Qiao Anlu smiled slightly, with no kindness in her smile. Her strapless, figure-hugging dress accentuated her perfect figure. She stepped up to Ji Niandong, her hips swaying in high heels over ten centimeters high.
Leaning on the table, she scrutinized Ji Niandong, "Not only are you playing my sister in the drama but you'll also be my junior later, even though you're older than me!"
Qiao Anlu had just turned 23 this year, young, beautiful, and willful, mercilessly squeezing Ji Niandong. She glanced at her manager, "Ada, are you sure you want to sign her?"
"Of course, although she's older than you, she's good-looking," Ada responded calmly.
Ada was the legendary manager of YT Entertainment, having discovered Qiao Anlu from nowhere and turned her into the goddess of homebodies, then into a sexy diva in just two years, securing many resources with this one artist.
Many artists at YT Entertainment wanted to work under her, but she refused them all. Even a female artist with sponsorship and strong backing was disregarded by her.
Yet now, how come she set her sights on Ji Niandong?
This woman, claiming to be an unremarkable 'three-no' person, what skills does she possess?
