Chapter 563 From Down-on-his-luck Assistant to Top Agent (19)

Zhao Yiran spoke calmly, demonstrating her professionalism to the fullest.

If this were the Jiang Huaizhi of the past, he would have already opened the door and invited people in for a chat.

But now, he really doesn't think much of what Zhao Yiran is saying.

He's not greedy; he doesn't aspire to great fame. He just wants to do what he loves in this industry steadily and peacefully.

Therefore, even though Zhao Yiran's agency is more powerful, Jiang Huaizhi is unmoved.

"Thank you for your concern, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. I'm sorry you had to make an extra trip. I don't plan to change companies or agents. Thank you."

Jiang Huaizhi has already been very polite. If Zhao Yiran continues to shamelessly stay here, then she will be being impolite.

"All right."

Zhao Yiran smiled and left a message before she left.

You'd better keep my business card, because you'll need it someday.

After saying that, she turned and left.

Jiang Huaizhi pushed open the door, glanced down at the business card in his hand, and then threw it into the trash can without hesitation.

His mother had taught him that those who are greedy and always want more will not have a good ending.

After handing over his business card, Jiang Huai was startled to see Jin Shu sitting on the sofa, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Although he hadn't done anything, a strange sense of guilt welled up inside him.

"Mr. Jin, when did you arrive?"

"Oh, I just arrived recently."

“Just now outside, I rejected her. She tried to poach me, but I really want to work hard for you, so there's no way I'd consider them.”

Jin Shu nodded and stood up.

"I know, I came to check on how you've been lately."

They're doing well; there's a variety show they're currently casting for.

I've submitted your name; the results should be available in about three days. Start preparing now.

After speaking, Jin Shu handed over a bag. Jiang Huaizhi took it, opened it, and found a stack of documents inside. The documents clearly stated what kind of artists were needed for this variety show.

"This is an internal document, isn't it?"

"Yes, my friend gave it to me. Take a look at it whenever you have time, and then shred it after you're done."

Because it was an internal document, Jin Shu delivered it personally.

Just then, Jiang Huaizhi insisted on telling Jin Shu the door code, so Jin Shu naturally wouldn't stand outside waiting.

After explaining everything, Jin Shu prepared to leave.

"Mr. Jin, have you eaten?"

"No, I was just about to go eat. Want a piece?"

"Eating out isn't healthy. Luckily, there's some food in the fridge. If you don't mind, why don't you stay for a meal? It's been so long since you've tried my cooking."

Jin Shu thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Can."

She really wanted to try Jiang Huaizhi's cooking skills; maybe there were areas for improvement.

Jiang Huaizhi, who usually only needs half an hour to prepare three dishes and a soup, spent an extra twenty minutes today to give the food an exquisite plating.

When it was served, Jiang Huaizhi watched with a hint of nervousness as Jin Shu took the first bite.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

Jin Shu nodded, showering him with praise.

But before Jiang Huai could even feel happy, Jin Shu followed up with another comment.

"Next time, you can use something else to replace MSG. In the future, eat less of these."

"Oh well."

"Your craftsmanship is excellent, keep it up."

When Jin Shu was an assistant, she was skilled in a wide range of things.

She is especially adept at cooking.

Because Gu Xing is a very fussy artist, he rarely eats out, and of course, he can't cook for himself, let alone eat what others cook.

So Jin Shu basically prepared all three of his meals a day for him.

Over time, in order to satisfy his discerning tastes, Jin Shu's cooking skills improved more and more.

Therefore, she could also say a few words about Jiang Huaizhi's cooking skills.

"So, is there anything I can improve in these dishes?"

Jin Shu thought for a moment.

"You can practice making big pot meals at home recently, it will come in handy for the upcoming variety show."

"good."

I won't ask too many questions about the Jianghuai region. Whatever Jin Shu says, I'll just do as she says.

Five days later, Jin Shu received a reply from the production team, and then called Jiang Huaizhi, telling him to pack his things and get ready to start work.

Before filming begins, the production team will interview all the guests.

Jiang Huaizhi got up very early for this, and after washing up, he waited obediently at home.

However, the production team, who were originally scheduled to arrive at 7:30, didn't arrive at the door until 9:00.

The assistant director was a young woman who, upon arriving at the house, frowned and asked Jiang Huai a question.

Didn't you prepare anything before coming?

Jiang Huaizhi was stunned for a moment.

What should I prepare?

"What are you preparing? If you're an artist and you don't know, don't you think your assistant knows either?"

Jiang Huaizhi wasn't stupid; he probably guessed what the other party meant.

"Oh, I bet you all haven't had breakfast yet since you got up so early. Luckily, I steamed some buns and cooked a pot of porridge at home. Let's all have some together."

As the staff entered, Jiang Huaizhi, the subject of the filming, busied himself preparing bowls, chopsticks, and serving rice for them.

Filming hadn't started yet, but the not-so-large apartment was already packed with people.

The assistant director sat on the sofa, not touching the steamed bun in front of her.

"Where is your assistant? I don't eat these for breakfast, just give me a cup of coffee and a sandwich."

Jiang Huai gave an awkward laugh.

"I don't have an assistant. If you want coffee, I'll go downstairs and buy it for you."

The assistant director didn't say anything. Jiang Huaizhi pursed his lips and could only go to the entrance to put on his shoes and go out.

Jin Shu stood at the door before she had even put her shoes on properly.

Where to go?

"Oh, go buy the director a cup of coffee. You go in and have some breakfast first. I made some steamed buns for you, eat them while they're hot."

Just as Jiang Huaizhi finished speaking and was about to leave, Jin Shu grabbed him.

"Go back and sit down."

Jiang Huaizhi was a little confused, but he was always obedient. Seeing Jin Shu's expressionless face and firm tone, he obediently put the shoes away and then followed Jin Shu back.

When the assistant director saw Jin Shu, he didn't stand up, but continued to flip through the documents in his hand.

"Assistant Director Chen, my artists are here to participate in the show, not to be your assistants. If you can film today, then film; if you can't, then leave."

The assistant director slowly raised his head, looking at Jin Shu with icy eyes.

Who do you think you are?

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

While people around were eating, the staff quietly put down their food, not daring to make a sound.

Jin Shu looked at her while taking out her phone and making a call.
