As a "melon-eating creature" (gossip lover), Jiang Ning, after binding to a gossip system, knew everyone's secrets in the entertainment industry. However, she didn't know that every...
Chapter 113 The artist is so promising, the agent is emo
Du Ying had just finished talking to the production crew about the recording precautions and contract benefits when she heard a burst of exclamations from the other end of the line, and then someone else was on the line.
"Hello, Manager Du. I'm the director of 'Boy Group 101.' We sincerely invite Miss Jiang to be our production supervisor. Please tell me when you can come tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone to pick Miss Jiang up."
This kind of attitude made Du Ying even more dizzy. When she heard that the director had taken the initiative to double Jiang Ning's notice fee, and there was a hint of flattery in his words, Du Ying was even more confused.
The reason why "Boy Group 101" called them was because they saw that Jiang Ning was very popular and wanted to take advantage of her popularity.
So what's with the director's attitude? Jiang Ning is clearly on the rise, no longer the unknown figure she once was, but there's no way she needs to fawn over such a prominent variety show director.
After the conversation, Du Ying hung up the phone. Before she could figure out why the attitude of the "Boy Group 101" production team suddenly changed, from a staff member to the director personally contacting her, she saw a new message pop up on Weibo. That message was from the Weibo account of their own artist.
Du Ying paused, logged into Weibo, and saw the blog post that Jiang Ning had forwarded, as well as the official seal of approval. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head, and she finally understood why the director of "Boy Group 101" contacted her personally and had an overly nice attitude.
"When did you get in touch with the higher-ups? And you even became an entertainment industry supervisor!"
Du Ying had a look of pride on her face, as if her artist had made it big, but she also had a look of confusion as to what was going on.
"Maybe they think I have talent as a supervisor?"
Seeing that Jiang Ning didn't quite understand, Du Ying thought about the speculations of the netizens in the live broadcast room and felt that it was very likely that the authorities knew that she was connected to the "metaphor" system and asked Jiang Ning to clean up the bad habits in the entertainment industry.
Thinking of this, Du Ying glanced at the mysterious Xu Guanyi in an unnoticeable manner, and Xu Guanyi quickly caught her sight.
Meeting those sharp eyes, Du Ying quickly withdrew her gaze, suppressed her heavily pounding heart, and suddenly had a doubt.
Could it be that Xu Guanyi was arranged by the authorities to protect Jiang Ning?
Yes, otherwise which assistant would have such a righteous and intimidating aura.
After figuring it out, Du Ying looked at the artist playing Candy Crush next to her, not knowing whether she should be happy that she had become an official person, or disappointed that the artist had an official trump card and the plans she had made as an agent before would no longer be useful.
After a little emo, Du Ying quickly cheered up again. Jiang Ning's identity is different now, so she has to be more cautious when accepting notices. Otherwise, if outsiders have the opportunity to misinterpret it, it will not be good for Jiang Ning.
Du Ying hurriedly opened her tablet and carefully deleted some of the announcements she had planned to get for Jiang Ning. She planned to move the artist's career towards serious dramas in the future, and she would resolutely refuse any announcements that would drain the artist's popularity.
The nanny car arrived at the Lu family's house. Jiang Ning greeted the agent and then walked in with Xu Guanyi.
Gu Yunrong and Lu Yuan were the only ones at home. Jiang Ning looked at Gu Yunrong and felt that her eyes seemed a little red.
"You're back. Go wash your hands. I made soup and fried chicken for you." Gu Yunrong urged Jiang Ning to wash her hands.
Lu Yuan cooperated and pulled Jiang Ning out of the living room, not letting her look any longer. Gu Yunrong calmed down, pressed her moist eyes, and turned to go to the kitchen with the servants to bring out the soup and fried chicken and sour plum soup.
When Jiang Ning and Lu Yuan came to the living room again, Gu Yunrong had already calmed down. Jiang Ning looked at the smile on her face, but was still worried.
"It was your father's relatives who came to see me and affected my mood. It's okay, I sent them away." Gu Yunrong touched Jiang Ning's head and said in a soft tone.
She would follow Jiang Ning's variety show live broadcasts on time, so naturally she heard what Jiang Ning said to the melon-eating system.
When she told her daughter that she wouldn't be able to eat snacks when she returned to the other world, she initially thought that the child was worried that she would return to the past, the days when she had just lost her husband, Jiang Ning suddenly became ill, and the house was plagued by nausea, a mess.
Not only the children were frightened, but Gu Yunrong was also scared.
Gu Yunrong was not a very strong woman. When she learned that her husband had accidentally picked up a powder dealer, she drove the car to the police station despite being threatened. She was killed by the powder dealer in anger. When Jiang Ning re-entered the emergency room, she resented her husband for being so stubborn and betting with her life that the villain would show mercy.
But things were set in stone, and no matter how much she complained or how much she was heartbroken, she could only hold on and not let herself fall.
During that time, Gu Yunrong had just finished dealing with her husband's affairs, and Jiang Ning had not yet completely recovered from the critical period after coming out of the emergency room. Their home was smashed and looted by the accomplices of the powder dealer, and bright red paint was splashed on the outside. The neighbors repeatedly advised her to move out quickly and not to implicate them.
The family, who had originally gotten along well with each other, perhaps because of the instigation of those people, knew that the police had given her some money because of what her husband had done, and they often blocked her home to demand a share of the money.
During that period, Gu Yunrong was in panic all the time due to the troubles caused by the powder seller's accomplices and the relatives who changed their attitude. Although she was concerned about Jiang Ning's physical condition, she never mentioned these things to her.
But Jiang Ning often lay in bed during those two years. She was very sensitive and could feel something, so it was normal that she didn't want to go back to that time.
But later, Gu Yunrong carefully thought about the changes that happened to Jiang Ning after she brought her into the Lu family, which made her suspicious.
As a mother, she was not unaware of the changes in her daughter, but due to misfortunes at home and her remarriage, Jiang Ning's personality changed. She consulted a psychologist, who said it was normal.
Furthermore, during the time when Jiang Ning hadn't contacted her, she was so suspicious that she went to the hospital to confirm that they were still mother and daughter.
So at that time, no matter how sad she was that her daughter didn't kiss her, she only thought that her daughter was unhappy because she married into the Lu family.
It was not until she watched yesterday's live broadcast and recalled Jiang Ning's changes that she realized she had turned back into the daughter she was familiar with. Gu Yunrong wondered if the melon-eating system had really taken her to another world.
And for this high-tech system, creating a person like Jiang Ning might be very simple?
Thinking of this, Gu Yunrong looked at Jiang Ning who was eating fried chicken with relish, her eyes very gentle.
She couldn't imagine how much suffering her daughter had endured in that strange world, but now that she was back, she had to protect her and prevent Jiang Ning from being taken away again.
Gua Gua, feeling Gu Yunrong's hostility, bit his handkerchief in grievance, unable to explain, and could only look outside blankly.
Jiang Ning and Lu Yuan were the only ones at home who were interested in fried chicken. After they finished a plate of fried chicken, Gu Yunrong said with a smile.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow? Mom will make it for you."
Seeing the distress in Gu Yunrong's eyes, Jiang Ning subconsciously felt that the other party did not seem to support her eating these non-nutritious things in the past. She took a sip of sour plum juice and asked tentatively.
"Can I have a barbecue?"
"Of course, Ningning, you can tell me whatever you want to eat. You are in good health now, so mom will allow you to eat anything. But you can't eat those unclean things outside. Mom and the chef can cook for you when you come back." Gu Yunrong said in a gentle and almost indulgent tone.
Is he feeling well now? A hint of confusion flashed across Jiang Ning's eyes. His mind seemed to flash back to the image of her lying on a hospital bed, eating food from street vendors, and hanging an IV drip with a pale face.
Then she met Gu Yunrong's eyes, and her mind had her own thoughts. Those doubts quickly slipped away again. She couldn't catch them, so she came back to her senses and nodded heavily, looking very obedient.
Lu Yuan listened to the conversation between mother and daughter, and envy flashed in her eyes, but she thought about how her mother valued her uncles more when she was alive, and often gave her things to that annoying cousin.
Lu Yuan curled her lips, unwilling to think about anyone anymore.
