Chapter 48 Mr. A

Capricorn Apartments.

After taking a shower, Jiang Ningyue lay naked on the bed playing with her mobile phone. The sudden notification sound from the system made her happy.

At the same time, a number appeared in her mind, and she knew that it was Mr. A's number.

Jiang Ningyue made the call.

After a few beeps, an electronically synthesized voice came from the other end of the phone, "Any missions?"

Why does it look so much like a spy meeting?

Jiang Ningyue laughed, and then said, "Can you help me research the catering industry?"

"Be more specific."

"specific……"

Jiang Ningyue suddenly thought of the exposure of "Old Altar Pickled Cabbage" in her previous life 22 years ago. Some people said that this incident had been exposed online as early as ten years ago. So, could such a thing happen in this parallel world?

"Yuanxiang's traditional pickled cabbage."

"I understand. But now is not the time to pickle the old-style pickled cabbage. I will speed up the investigation by purchasing informants, etc., but I can't guarantee the investigation time."

"OK."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningyue also expressed her understanding. Indeed, the person may not pickle sauerkraut now, so why are you taking pictures of him?

"The investigation fee is 20,000 yuan. I'll send you a card number later."

After saying that, Mr. A hung up the phone.

"20,000? You still need more money?"

Jiang Ningyue was stunned. She originally thought that the system had covered everything for her, but she didn't expect that she still had to pay for it herself.

But after thinking about it, 20,000 yuan is not expensive at all. The travel expenses, food expenses, and accommodation expenses alone may not be enough, let alone bribing the informant.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningyue happily transferred 20,000 yuan.

Afterwards, Jiang Ningyue used all the system cards again.

[Tone: 80→97]

After playing three cards, Jiang Ningyue's voice changed from ordinary to exciting. Of course, it wasn't that greasy bubbling sound, but a sound that could only be produced by deliberately lowering the voice.

"He may be in your last place, by your side, in your nightmare. If you see him, please don't be afraid..."

Jiang Ningyue tried to open her throat, and the sound was obviously different from before.

To put it simply, you might not starve to death if you tried hard, but now God is chasing you and feeding you.

"Even if I can't be a journalist anymore, I probably won't starve by selling songs with all the knowledge I have in my head."

Jiang Ningyue thought happily and used another special skill card.

[Congratulations on obtaining the special skill: 'Maximum Affinity'.]

[Maximum Affinity: You have a magical magnetic field. People around you will feel relaxed, more likely to make friends with you, and more willing to confide in you.]

This skill... well... how should I put it, it's quite suitable for the journalist industry, but it's not very useful.

Jiang Ningyue yawned, noticing another 500 points had arrived. She wondered if she should enroll in a driving school and get a license. After that, she could buy a car. Even though her workplace was across the street, she couldn't afford to keep buying a car.

As I was thinking this, the phone rang.

"Mengmeng."

"Are you home?"

"Here I am."

"Wait, I'm going upstairs now."

"Hmm?!"

Jiang Ningyue was stunned for a few seconds, looking at the phone that had been hung up, then quickly got up, put on her pajamas and panties.

This is too sudden an attack!

Just as she put on her clothes, she heard the doorbell ring. Jiang Ningyue looked through the peephole and then opened the door for Gu Meng.

"Mengmeng, why are you here?"

"Are you hurt?"

Gu Meng took Jiang Ningyue's hand and asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just got blisters." Jiang Ningyue suddenly felt that Gu Meng was making a fuss. "I've already applied some medicine."

"So you're still taking a shower?"

Gu Meng stared, "Isn't that an infection again?"

"No way?" Jiang Ningyue blinked. Although the nurse did remind her not to get wet, this was obviously impossible.

"Do you have any iodine at home? I'll wipe it for you."

"have."

After applying iodine to Jiang Ningyue again, Gu Meng sat beside her and sighed, "I knew you, an idiot, couldn't take care of yourself."

"Not really." Although Jiang Ningyue was a little lacking in confidence, she was still a little dissatisfied with Gu Meng's evaluation.

She is just a little bit careless at best, but she can't be called a fool, right?

"I'll stay here and take care of you for the next two days."

"Huh?" Jiang Ningyue was surprised.

"Don't you want to?" Gu Meng stared at Jiang Ningyue with his eyes wide open, suddenly with an inexplicable majesty.

Jiang Ningyue didn't dare to look him in the eye and said weakly, "Welcome, welcome."

"That's more like it. I have good news for you. The drama I'm filming will be aired this week."

"Where?"

"XX video."

"Um, web drama?"

“Yes, internet companies are offering high prices now.”

"Okay, let's watch it together then."

——

The next morning, Saturday.

Even though it wasn't Saturday, Jiang Ningyue didn't have to go to work, as Director Chen had already given her the day off.

However, Han Jia called to harass her. Because Gu Meng was still asleep, Jiang Ningyue walked out of the bedroom and went to the living room to answer the phone.

"Hey, Xiaoyue. Are you in the studio?"

"My boss gave me paid leave," Jiang Ningyue said helplessly, but in reality she was showing off. "My boss said I was injured and asked me to rest for a few days."

"Injured, where?"

"It's a minor injury. I can't even call it an injury. It's just a scrape on my hand."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Han Jia hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Then can you come to our art center and attend a meeting?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Ningyue hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Well, I'm free anyway."

"Thank you, thank you!" Han Jia breathed a sigh of relief. "I know I shouldn't have called you, but we do have a lot to discuss."

"It's okay. But, my friend is at my house. Can I bring my friend?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, wait a moment."

Jiang Ningyue walked back to the bedroom and pushed Gu Meng, "I have to go to work, come with me."

"Huh? Isn't today Saturday?" Gu Meng answered in a daze.

"It's about the Arts Center. I thought I'd introduce you to some of the Variety Department leaders."

"Then... wait a minute I..."

Gu Meng also understood that Jiang Ningyue was helping her, so she immediately got up, changed her clothes, and went to the TV station with Jiang Ningyue.

The two of them arrived at the conference room of the Arts Center. Upon seeing Jiang Ningyue, Zhai Zhiyong was very enthusiastic. "Our hero is here. Come and sit down."

Jiang Ningyue smiled and nodded, pointing at Gu Meng and said, "Director Zhai, this is my best friend, Gu Meng, she's an actress."

Gu Meng bowed slightly and said politely, "Hello, Director Zhai."

Zhai Zhiyong glanced at Gu Meng, smiled and nodded, "Hello, hello."

After greeting him, Zhai Zhiyong said nothing. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ningyue and said, "Xiao Jiang, we've had preliminary discussions with several internet companies, and five of them are very interested. Which one do you think is better?"

Jiang Ningyue took a quick look and said, "Penguin and Douyin are both fine."
