Director Qu: "She didn't say, only that her surname was Chen and that she was a woman. My crew didn't lack investment at all, but she tried to lure me with investment. I felt that this person was a bit arrogant."
She acted like the whole world belonged to her, and that everyone had to listen to what she said.
To put it bluntly, he's an idiot.
Li Ruan bowed deeply to Director Qu: "Director Qu, thank you very much."
When Director Qu is filming, he uses a lot of profanity and the most offensive language he can think of. But when he's not filming, he's not that difficult to deal with. "If you really want to thank me, you can do it when you become famous."
Li Ruan was surprised that Director Qu thought highly of her. "Then I'll take the director's good wishes."
Soon it was Li Ruan's turn to appear. Actually, this scene was quite simple; it was the scene where Song Sheng had just been sold into the Paramount by her stepmother.
Mrs. Song: "Manager Li, my daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. She took after her despicable mother and has a face that can seduce men. You will definitely not lose out by buying her."
Manager Li chuckled: "Then Madam Song can't ask for an exorbitant price. How about this, fifty silver dollars, and I'll take her."
Madam Song's expression immediately changed: "Fifty silver dollars? This is a living, breathing person, and it's only worth fifty silver dollars?"
Song Sheng was brought here by Madam Song, who gagged her. Seeing that she was about to be sold to such a place, she struggled fiercely with tears streaming down her face, but she could not escape. She wanted to beg for help but could not speak up. In the end, she could only watch helplessly as Madam Song sold her for eighty silver dollars.
After Mrs. Song left, Manager Li pulled the towel out of Song Sheng's mouth. Song Sheng pleaded urgently, "Manager Li, please, please let me go! I... I still need to go to school. If I end up here, my life is over!"
Her eyes were filled with tears, her tone humble, yet she was filled with resentment, eager to break free from her current situation, but also feeling helpless.
Manager Li ignored her plea and used her finger, painted with bright red nail polish, to lift Song Sheng's chin. "Tsk tsk, your little face looks so pitiful when you cry. If your stepmother had insisted a little longer, I would have bought you even if the price had doubled."
She raised her hand and patted Song Sheng's face again, looking at her with a "you're too naive" expression. "Silly girl, I've been in this business for so many years, when have I ever made a losing deal? I finally got such a beauty like you, how could I let you leave?"
Song Sheng felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, her eyes filled with despair, and she even had the will to die.
Manager Li had seen this kind of scene many times before, and he saw through her thoughts at a glance. "Silly girl, do you really think that dying will solve everything? If you die, I will ask the Song family for the silver dollars that bought you back. Have you thought about what will happen to your mother?"
Mentioning her mother, Song Sheng became as docile as a deflated balloon. She knew Madam Song all too well; if she dared to die, her mother would never live again.
"It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. I guarantee that as long as you follow my instructions, with your face, you will definitely become the object of pursuit for Shanghai's celebrities!"
Director Qu: "Cut! That take is good."
The staff watching were buzzing with discussion, "Who said Li Ruan's acting was bad before? We thought she'd have to do several takes, but she nailed it in one take."
"But this scene is simple; all you need to do is cry."
"You know what, you really do know, she does cry, and it makes me want to cry too."
This was Li Ruan's first real acting experience. After hearing what the director had to say, she immediately ran to the monitor to watch the playback.
Director Qu filmed several scenes smoothly today and was in a really good mood. He even teased Li Ruan, saying, "This scene is simple, which is why it was easy to get right. Your acting skills still need some work. Watch out, when I start yelling at people, I don't care if you're beautiful or ugly!"
Li Ruan: ...For a moment, she didn't know whether the director was criticizing or praising her!
Li Ruan didn't return to the hotel until almost six o'clock after staying on set. Surprisingly, she received a message from her sugar daddy today.
Xi Leng: Where are you?
Li Ruan simply made a video call. A few seconds later, the call was answered, and a man in a sharp suit immediately appeared on the screen. She leaned forward slightly, looking at the man on the screen with a smile in her eyes, "Mr. Xi, it's rare to see you contact me first! Did you miss me?"
Xi Leng: ...It's clearly the second time.
His face remained perpetually stern. "You're at the hotel? Work's finished?"
"Yes, I just got back."
Xi Leng narrowed his eyes slightly. The woman on the screen was wearing a pink V-neck top today. As she leaned forward, he saw her beautiful collarbone and a glimpse of fair skin.
He frowned almost imperceptibly, shifted his gaze in another direction, and then quickly looked back. The woman in front of him was entirely his; why couldn't he look at her?
Have you had dinner yet?
Li Ruan loosened her hair, and as she did so, her phone shook, and Xi Leng seemed to catch a glimpse of her fair waist.
"I'm covered in sweat and feel uncomfortable all over. I need to take a shower before I go down to eat."
Xi Leng was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, if he called later, would he be able to see her taking a shower?
"Hmm? Why isn't Mr. Xi saying anything? Are you thinking about some little vixen?"
Xi Leng thought to himself: Didn't I just think of you, you little vixen?
"Don't talk nonsense."
Li Ruan raised her beautiful eyes and then winked at the person on the screen, "So you missed me! So Mr. Xi can be shy after all!"
The woman was too beautiful, her voice too alluring, which made the man furious and embarrassed. He said, "Go take a shower, I'm hanging up."
Li Ruan stared at the now-black screen, a silent smile playing on her lips. That's it? She hadn't even done anything yet!
He's so innocent. Any other man would have waited until she went into the bathroom before hanging up the phone, right?
As soon as Xi Leng hung up the phone, Li Ruan's phone rang again. It was a message from Wei Zi'an: Sister, there's an emergency at home, I have to go back first. I'll treat you to a meal next time I have time.
Li Ruan replied with a message: "Then be careful on the road and drive carefully."
When she got home last night, she did a quick search and found out that Wei Zian was a rich second-generation heir whose family was in finance and very wealthy. He also had an older brother who managed the company.
Wei Zian's interests weren't in the company at all, and since others didn't know he was a hacker, he was considered a spoiled brat in their circle, with a bad reputation, and someone who was even excluded from arranged marriages.
However, she couldn't believe that the young man was someone who cared about his reputation.
After having a casual dinner at the hotel, Li Ruan continued to take orders on her computer. Because she had been quite active on the website recently and had completed several orders successfully, some picky customers started contacting her.
Moreover, the prices offered are exceptionally high; as long as it doesn't violate her principles, she'll choose the ones with the most money.
If you want to bring your family to Longcheng, you definitely won't have enough money.
