Chapter 9



Originally, Xun Hao's appearance could not be said to be bad, but it could not be said to be good either. At most, he could be considered a man who was content with a small fortune.

And because his forehead is obscure and his life palace is defective, not only do he have few offspring, but he is also prone to illness in his later years. Although it does not affect his lifespan, it is enough to torture him.

But today, Xun Hao's face has changed. The Wealth Palace and the Marriage Palace have not changed, but the slightly dark Disease Palace has become brighter, and even the Children Palace has become round and smooth.

This means that Xun Hao might still have only a little wealth in the future, but the two disasters of having few children and having a difficult old age have been resolved.

Moreover, there is a bright light in his Children's Palace. As long as Xun Hao accumulates more good deeds, he may be able to attend his family's full moon wedding banquet next year.

——In just a few days, a person's appearance has changed so much. Rong Jing looked at Xun Hao's face for a few more times, and then his eyes fell on his eyes.

His eyes were clear and restrained, showing a look of complete repentance and reform.

"...Mr. Rong, what's wrong?" Being looked at by Rong Jing like this, Xun Hao paused and asked a little nervously.

In fact, Rong Jing's eyes were very beautiful. Her amber pupils were clear and at first glance, they looked like the beauty of a snow-capped mountain or lake.

But maybe it was because the emotions in these eyes were too pure and indifferent, so every time Xun Hao met Rong Jing's eyes, his heart would unconsciously tighten -

I always feel that nothing about me can be hidden in front of these eyes, and everything is revealed.

"No need to call me Mr. Rong." Xun Hao didn't dare to breathe. Rong Jing saw his discomfort and calmly withdrew his gaze.

Picking up a disposable cup and pouring a cup of tea, Rong Jing handed it over and said calmly, "Just call me Rong Jing as before."

Xun Hao quickly took the tea and said, "Okay, okay."

He actually wanted to ask Rong Jing what he meant by staring at him just now, but he was afraid that if he asked rashly, it would be taboo. He rubbed his hands on the cup for a few times, still undecided.

Fortunately, Rong Jing didn't want to hide it from him.

"…So Mr. Rong means that my appearance has suddenly changed in the past few days?"

When Xun Hao first heard that he was destined to suffer from illness in his later years and have few offspring, he was so scared that he almost spilled the tea in his hand. Later, when he heard Rong Jing say that his face had changed, he became a little confused.

Why did it suddenly change?

He didn't even notice that he blurted out "Mr. Rong" again, and looked at Rong Jing nervously.

Rong Jing took a sip of tea and said, "It is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them."

Xun Hao was stunned for a moment, then he figured something out, feeling a little complicated, he whispered: "...I understand."

Xun Hao was not a good person in the universal sense. He loved money and was greedy for it. He would also use some dishonorable tricks to fight for resources for his artists. He seemed to only care about profit when doing things.

Perhaps it was because of this that he lost the good fortune that he was destined to have. Now he has realized his mistake and is changing for the better. Although his fate has not yet changed, the turning point has been revealed in his face.

Xun Hao didn't know whether to be thankful or scared after hearing this. He could only say that fortunately, when he was not so deeply in trouble, Rong Jing was willing to wake him up.

Even so, Rong Jing himself might not have thought so much about it.

Xun Hao sighed in his heart, suppressed all other thoughts, and carefully stated the real purpose of his visit.

"This script was handed over to me by Ruiming Entertainment. I read it once and felt it was well written. The cooperating team is also quite reliable in the circle. I wonder if you, Mr. Rong..." At this point, Xun Hao suddenly got stuck.

He had only noticed that this script was specially handed over by the Wang family, and guessed that Rong Jing might have mentioned it to the Wang family.

But what if it isn’t?

Although he didn't know how powerful Rong Jing was, just by looking at the current attitude of the Wang family, Xun Hao could vaguely guess something.

Such a person... If he wanted, many people would come to him with money and beg him to accept it. Would he still be willing to work hard with the crew to film and catch up with the announcements like before, and have to deal with those tricky interviews from reporters from time to time?

Xun Hao was a little annoyed. He should have asked around before coming here.

However, Rong Jing didn't think as much as he thought. When he heard him say that the script was handed over by the Wang family and was of good quality, he reached out to take it, opened it and took a look.

He had never been involved in this line of work before. But the original owner's memory and obsession were still there, so Rong Jing had no problem reading the script.

It’s similar to what Xun Hao just said. Even though Rong Jing is still a "layman" now, he can see that the quality of this script is indeed good. The plot of the whole story is full of ups and downs, and the logic is smooth. Even if the emotional development is a bit stiff, its merits outweigh its flaws.

Rong Jing read through it slowly and soon figured out which role the Wang family was going to assign him.

Rong Jing tapped the name of the third male lead on the character list and asked, "Are Ruiming Entertainment planning to give me this role?"

Xun Hao followed his movements and when he saw the words "Ming Yuan Tianshi" printed on the paper, he nodded hesitantly: "Well, but Ruiming Entertainment also said that if Rongxian... Rongjing wants, you can also choose other roles."

All of them are used by the Wang family to curry favor with Rong Jing. Although Wang Boyui thinks that Rong Jing is not the kind of person who is ambitious, but if he is... then there is nothing wrong with it.

Rong Jing's mind turned, and he understood what Wang Boyui was thinking. But this kind of probing thought was common among those in a higher position, so Rong Jing would not bother with him.

With his eyes lowered, Rong Jing did not turn to choose the male lead role with the most scenes as Wang Boyui hoped, but turned his attention back to the "Ming Yuan Tianshi".

I have to say that although this character is only ranked as the third male lead in the script, his overall personality is very complete and is somewhat similar to Rong Jing's own personality, which is quite suitable for him now.

Xun Hao had a similar opinion. However, he glanced at Rong Jing, who looked indifferent, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

From his own selfish desire, he certainly hoped that Rong Jing would take over this script——

Whether it was to deepen his relationship with Rong Jing or to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Wang family, Xun Hao hoped that Rong Jing would agree.

But he didn't dare to speak out to interfere with Rong Jing's choice. He could only stare at Rong Jing, trying to make him happy with his eyes.

Rong Jing quickly regained his thoughts and looked up at Xun Hao: "When is the audition?"

Xun Hao: “…”

He wanted to say that since the script was handed to you, it meant that it was given to you, but he looked at Rong Jing's face and considered it for a while: "Probably around next Sunday. Ruiming Entertainment will hold an internal audition first."

This is an unspoken rule in the industry. A TV series requires huge investment, and with so many investors, there are always some suitable artists, and when casting, they will naturally be considered first.

But sometimes, some artists are really not suitable. So this kind of internal audition is a way to screen first. As long as their acting skills are not too outrageous or their aura is really inconsistent, they will basically not be easily screened out.

At worst, you can still get some supporting roles.

According to Ruiming Entertainment, Rong Jing actually didn't even have to go to this kind of audition, but now that he had made his attitude clear, Ruiming Entertainment naturally wouldn't refuse him.

Upon hearing this, Rong Jing nodded, indicating that he understood.

Xun Hao heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, feeling somewhat fortunate that he was not so upright as to be rejected even at the internal audition.

But he was overthinking it. Rong Jing had never been a person who was inflexible. It was just that he was not very familiar with this industry. If he didn't perform well, he could change roles after the audition so as not to affect others.

"Then I will come and pick you up when the time comes." Xun Hao asked carefully.

Rong Jing was used to being served by others, so it was natural for him to say, "Okay."

That’s settled.

Xun Hao's expression relaxed and he didn't stay any longer. After drinking the tea in the cup, he said goodbye and left.

Rong Jing stood up and closed the door, then turned around and saw the stack of scripts on the table. After thinking for a while, he walked over and started reading them carefully.

Time flies, and soon it is Sunday, when the internal auditions for the TV series "The Legend of Heavenly Master" will begin.

Xun Hao came to pick him up early. Seeing that he still looked indifferent, he didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Mr. Rong, have you paid attention to the strange things happening over at the Xibeijiang Bridge during this period?"

It's not quite right to say it's strange, but there have indeed been many casualties on the Xibeijiang Bridge side recently, and the chain car accidents are so frequent that many drivers would rather take a detour to avoid that section of the road.

"…It seems like a few days ago, there was another chain car accident at the Xibeijiang Bridge. Seven or eight people died, two of them were little girls."

Xun Hao was just trying to come up with something to say, but he sighed as he spoke: "Now everyone says that it's because the Feng Shui was not considered when the Xibei River Bridge was built, and the location was chosen to be the gate of hell. Plus, the bridge is to the west, and if someone who is not lucky enough goes up there, it's easy for something to happen."

Speaking of which, Rong Jing had reminded him once before, telling him not to go northwest that day. He was half-believing and half-doubting at the time, and in the end he did not go that way, but he avoided the serial car accident that day.

With a thought in his mind, Xun Hao looked up at Rong Jing: "Mr. Rong, what do you think..."

"If the feng shui of the location was bad, the accident wouldn't have happened until now." Rong Jing said calmly, and then frowned, "But so many casualties in a row are indeed a problem."

As for why he told Xun Hao not to go northwest that day, it was only because he saw that the bloody disaster that day had not been completely resolved, and instead should be in the northwest direction, so he gave a reminder.

Now it seems that someone deliberately used Xun Hao's incident to remind him of the abnormal things that happened on the Xibei River Bridge.

The author has something to say:

Rong Jing: How should I act? [Cat's face is sagging.jpg]

Thanks to the sponsor Xuan Qing: Thank you for the invitation. The investor is me [豪光万丈.jpg]
