Chapter 182: Impulsive, or can't help myself
A summit ended successfully.
"Sister Yao, you're so amazing! Even Dean Chu is so optimistic about you and gave you such a great opportunity! You must not miss it."
"And that paper, when did you publish it? We don't even know about it."
Everyone in the base asked questions at once.
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and glanced at Li Beiting beside her with some embarrassment. "Actually, thanks to my senior's help, he found the fastest way for me to publish the paper."
"Oh~" Everyone looked understanding and teasing.
They didn't say much, and all looked like they understood.
"Sister Yao, I have other things to do and need to leave. I'll hold a celebration party for you another day."
"I'm a little busy too, you guys can chat slowly."
After talking for a while, several people left.
Before Jiang Yao could even try to persuade him to stay, Li Beiting chuckled in his ears, "It seems that your colleagues are very tactful."
Give them all the space to be alone, and don't leave them alone as a light bulb.
Jiang Yao understood what he meant and felt nervous. Thinking of the hug last night, she was afraid that he would ask.
How should she answer then?
Was it a momentary impulse, or was it because I couldn't help myself?
Fortunately, Li Beiting didn't say anything embarrassing to her along the way.
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, returned home, and shared the good news from today's summit with his family.
While her grandparents praised her, they also supported her in joining the national project team.
"Our Yaoyao is the best! We believe you can do it."
Jiang Yao felt warm in her heart, and her family was her strongest support.
The next day was a holiday, and Mr. Jiang went out early in the morning to meet an old friend.
Jiang Yao took Old Lady Jiang out. Knowing that the old lady loved records, operas, and costume dramas, she took them to the most famous film and television studio nearby.
The car stopped outside.
Jiang Yao took his grandmother's hand and stepped into the film and television city, where the ancient charm hit him.
There are many shops on the street selling antique items. The palaces with high eaves and the winding corridors seem to pull people back to ancient times.
On the set not far away, the crew was busy, and the actors in gorgeous costumes were moving around, as if traveling through time and space.
"This place carries the unique charm of film and television art and historical culture. I love it."
Old Mrs. Jiang had a kind face as she looked around the place inch by inch.
"Come to think of it, I once thought about becoming a Hua Dan and singing in opera."
Jiang Yao patiently walked over with her and said with a smile, "Grandma, if you like, I can take you to try out a costume."
"Well, I'm already old, I'm just talking..." Old Mrs. Jiang shook her head.
Jiang Yao wanted to say something else, but at this moment, an excited figure came from not far away.
"This lady—"
A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked up to Jiang Yao, looked her up and down several times, and then spoke with a smile.
"I think you're pretty and have a great temperament. I'm the director on the set over there, my last name is An, and we just happened to have one role that hasn't been decided yet. It won't be long, only about ten minutes. I wonder if you're interested in filming."
That look, as if he was selecting an item and measuring her value, made Jiang Yao feel very uncomfortable.
Her tone cooled: "I'm not interested."
"What?" Director An seemed not to have expected her to refuse, and frowned unhappily. "Do you know my status in the industry? This drama will definitely be a huge hit!
Such a good exposure opportunity, you actually want to refuse? I know, you want to be paid! Okay, I promise you, as long as you shoot it well, I can give you 5,000 yuan!
He thought he was generous enough, and if anyone else were here, they would have been grateful to him.
But Jiang Yao had already lost his patience. "Even if you give me 50 million, I won't shoot it."
Her words were like a slap in Director An's face.
Director An's face fell instantly. He had been in the industry for so long, but he had never seen such an ungrateful woman.
How many women fawned over him, were extremely obsequious to him, and were even willing to accept unspoken rules in order to join her crew.
But what about this woman! She had a look of disgust on her face. Who did she think she was?
A surge of anger instantly surged in his heart, and his true nature was exposed in an instant: "Who do you think you are? You are pretending to be nice to me. Do you really think I can like you? You look like a foxy woman. Who knows what you do in your daily life——"
There was a crisp sound of "pa——".
A slap hit him hard in the face.
However, it was not Jiang Yao who took action, but Old Lady Jiang who was standing beside him.
"Who do you think you're talking to!"
Old Mrs. Jiang usually always had a kind face towards her, but at this moment, facing this despicable man who bullied her granddaughter, she changed her attitude, her face became cold and her eyes were intimidating.
The aura around him is no less than that of Mr. Jiang when he is serious.
Jiang Yao was stunned.
Director An came to his senses and became even more furious. "How dare you hit me, you old woman—"
Seeing him clenching his fists and about to rush up and attack in anger.
Old Mrs. Jiang casually took out a business card from her bag.
The three golden characters "Jiang Jingzhou" appeared in Director An's field of vision. His pupils shrank, and his distorted face and fists froze at the same time.
"Director Jiang, Jiang, Director Jiang, how did you get his business card?" His voice trembled uncontrollably, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
This time it was Jiang Yao who answered him.
"He is my uncle, and the one next to me is his mother."
That brief introduction was like a death sentence for him.
Director An's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a thud. He trembled and said, "I'm sorry. I was blind and I deserve to die. Please forgive me this time, my lords. I really didn't mean to offend you."
Jiang Yao sneered.
"A scumbag like you dares to bully strangers without permission. Who knows how the actors in the industry will be exploited! I will tell my uncle that you don't deserve to be in this industry anymore."
After saying that, she took Old Lady Jiang's arm and turned to leave.
Director An was left with a face full of pain, feeling devastated.
If I had known that this person was not ordinary, I would never have dared to provoke him even if I were beaten to death!
The young actors on the side of the set were eager to dance for joy on the spot.
This bastard who bullied others by taking advantage of his power finally paid the price.
…
After dealing with the scum, the two of them no longer had the heart to continue shopping.
Coming out from inside, a melodious voice came from the door, with a hint of teasing, but also like doting: "Miss Jiang is so majestic and heroic."
Jiang Yao looked up in surprise, and was also surprised when he saw the person coming from the opposite side, "Why are you here?"
Did he come with them?
But looking at the way he's wearing a suit, it doesn't look like it!
