"I'm sorry, Miss Ning, Pei Wang declined your request for a meeting."

Pei Xingyan's apologetic voice came from the phone, leaving Ning Chuchu stunned and unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

What happened? The truth system clearly told her that as long as she found Pei Xingyan, she could successfully get Pei Wang to participate in the movie.

But why did I fail to even meet Pei Wang now?

Ning Chuchu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. While she was in a daze, Pei Xingyan on the other end of the phone apologized again: "I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Ning Chuchu came back to her senses immediately and said with a smile: "Don't say that. I am already very grateful that you are willing to help me."

"thank you."

Ning Chuchu thanked Pei Xingyan sincerely before hanging up the phone.

"System, what's going on?" Ning Chuchu asked with a frown, "Didn't you say that as long as I contact Pei Xingyan, the problem can be solved?"

The system said calmly: "Host, don't worry, everything has its destiny. Anyway, I will never make any mistakes!"

Hearing this, Ning Chuchu's tense heart relaxed a little. She nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see for now."

Of course, she could shamelessly ask Pei Xingyan for Pei Wang's contact information and then bombard him. But Pei Wang was a proud person, and she was afraid that doing so would backfire.

Since the system has told the truth, everything can be solved by finding Pei Xingyan, so she just has to wait.

We need to find a way to stabilize Feng Yifan's situation.

While thinking this, Feng Yifan received a call.

"Ms. Ning, has Mr. Pei arrived?" Feng Yifan went straight to the point.

Ning Chuchu rubbed her brows and said perfunctorily, "We have to wait a little longer."

"We have received the funds you transferred. Thank you so much." Feng Yifan said excitedly.

"Yeah." Ning Chuchu responded absentmindedly.

"So when will you audition for the female lead? The scriptwriter wants to see you."

Hearing this, Ning Chuchu finally perked up, "Wait a couple of days, I'll let you know the exact time."

After contacting Feng Yifan, Ning Chuchu began her anxious wait.

However, this tiring time did not last long, and Ning Chuchu soon fell into a new busyness. Because - "Swordsman" was about to be released.

She had to follow the crew to do promotions and attend events, so she had to leave the Love Shack again.

Most of the guests in the cabin were reluctant to leave, and the two girls kept reminding Ning Chuchu to take care of her health and not to overwork herself.

Ning Chuchu smiled and responded one by one, then shouted: "Huahua, come here!"

She stayed in the Love Shack for three or four days and felt that the dog was indeed noisy, but because there were many people here, they took turns to accompany him to vent their energy, so the dog did not destroy the house much.

Ning Chuchu had no resistance to taking Huahua away.

Huahua came running with his ears flailing, rubbing against Ning Chuchu. Ning Chuchu put a leash on him and was about to carry him away.

At this moment, Huahua suddenly whimpered twice towards the other guests, and her big watery eyes stared at them, looking a little pitiful.

Xueer Deng was the first to waver, "Actually Huahua has been very well behaved recently..."

Zhong Xinyue couldn't help but nodded in agreement, "Yeah, there's no more shitting."

"It looks like Baoer has realized his mistake!"

"He seems very sad... Is he reluctant to leave us?"

"Chu Chu is so busy at work, can't she take good care of him?"

"How about...let it stay here?"

A few people looked at each other and said something, which naturally slapped themselves in the face, and changed their minds and said that they wanted to keep Huahua.

Only Ren Zihe was the most sober. He jumped up and shouted, "You useless people! Don't be fooled by him!"

However, the minority obeyed the majority, and in the end everyone decided to keep Huahua.

Ning Chuchu, who was unable to get a word in during the entire conversation: "..."

Why do these people do this?

In the end, Ning Chuchu left the love house alone and started her busy promotional work.

Soon, "Swordsman" was released, and unsurprisingly, it sparked a movie-watching craze.

Countless people went to the cinema to watch this magnificent martial arts film and were deeply immersed in the world of swords and swords.

After the movie was released, the most discussed character was the "Saintess of Divine Sound" played by Ning Chuchu.

In this movie, Ning Chuchu completely subverted her previous image of a pure and weak green tea girl, and deeply imprinted herself into everyone's heart with her almost brutal and shocking beauty.

Everyone has long known that Ning Chuchu is beautiful. When Ning Chuchu endorsed A's Starry Sky jewelry series, the advertisement she shot already made people feel the impact of her beauty. But the role of the Holy Lady of Divine Sound... is really too unfair!

In the movie, Ning Chuchu was dressed in red, she didn't wear heavy makeup, but her delicate three-dimensional face was naturally beautiful. Even in the close-up shot on the big screen, her face was perfect without a single flaw.

There is no doubt that the beauty of the Holy Lady of Divine Sound is a major attraction of the movie and is irreplaceable.

When the Holy Maiden of Divine Sound, played by Ning Chuchu, smiles tenderly and charmingly, one will feel as if their soul has been hooked away.

In addition to her stunning looks, Ning Chuchu's acting skills have also been recognized by the public.

She already had a certain level of understanding, and Zou Long was an extremely good director. Under his guidance, Ning Chuchu's acting skills improved rapidly, and she finally delivered a satisfactory answer in "Swordsman".

The cruel and merciless Saint of Shenyin, the cunning and smart Saint of Shenyin, and the last scene, the Saint of Shenyin who jumped off the cliff with a carefree smile... Ning Chuchu seemed to have brought the role of Saint of Shenyin to life and endowed this role with a whole new meaning.

For a time, Ning Chuchu was the talk of the town and her popularity soared.

Although this was not the first time that Ning Chuchu had felt such high levels of attention, she was the happiest this time.

Because this time it wasn't because she told the truth and exposed some secrets that caused such a big stunt. This time, the popularity was entirely due to her own strength.

This is a completely different meaning.

The popularity gained by breaking news and being straightforward may fade away at any time. But the honor earned by real strength can make her stand firm and go far.

This was the most satisfying and fulfilling time for Ning Chuchu since she entered the entertainment industry, because her identity as an actress was recognized.

Until now, Ning Chuchu has truly established herself in the film industry.

[Wow, my god! Sister Ning is so beautiful in "Swordsman"! I can't breathe! ]

【Thank you Sister Ning for letting me feel the warmth of my body and mind in this cold weather! 】

[Saint, don't jump off the cliff, jump directly into my arms! ]

[In addition to her beauty, please also praise Sister Ning’s acting skills! Sister Ning deserves it! ]

[Sister Ning’s acting is really amazing, it feels like she has finally come to her senses. The look in the eyes of the Holy Lady of Divine Sound at the end made my heart tremble.]

[Yeah! Our Chuchu's excellence has finally been seen by everyone! In fact, Chuchu really doesn't just rely on her so-called straightforward personality and sharp-tongued remarks to get on the trending search, she really has the ability! ]

[Really, my opinion of Sister Ning has changed. In the past, I was always a fun person and only liked to watch Sister Ning quarrel with others, but now - I have fallen in love with this woman! ]

[I'll just say this: I didn't have any feelings for Ning Chuchu before, and I was even a little disgusted by her being on the hot search list every day for her outspoken words, but her acting skills really killed me! ]

[As expected, actors ultimately rely on their works. 】

[Sister Ning’s role should be able to win an award, right? ]

[With such a good performance, he will definitely win an award! ]

…

As Ning Chuchu's looks and acting skills have once again been recognized by the public, she can now be said to be truly in the limelight, with countless resources pouring in to her like snowflakes.

Ning Chuchu was very busy, and at this moment, she received another huge surprise.

Pei Xingyan took the initiative to call her and said with a smile: "Ms. Ning, Pei Wang said he wants to meet you."

Ning Chuchu was stunned for a moment, then she almost jumped up from her chair in surprise. She asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Of course."

Ning Chuchu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Mr. Pei, thank you." This favor was huge.

Pei Xingyan smiled and said, "You shouldn't thank me, you should thank yourself."

Ning Chuchu was puzzled: "Why?"

Pei Xingyan explained in a slow voice: "I contacted Pei Wang before and told him that you wanted to meet him, but he refused out of the blue."

"Later, he went to see Swordsman, and when he came back he called me and said he wanted to meet you."

Every word Pei Xingyan said struck Ning Chuchu's heart, making her whole heart tremble slightly.

"So, Miss Ning, it was your outstanding performance that impressed Pei Wang."

"congratulations."

Ning Chuchu was in a daze and even forgot how she ended the call with Pei Xingyan.

She was in a daze for a long time. She suppressed her excitement and said to the system in her heart: "System, you are really amazing. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not be able to successfully meet Pei Wang."

The system's cute mechanical voice sounded, "Host, to some extent, this success is not just because of my strength, but more of your own credit."

"Everything has its cause and effect. You approached Pei Xingyan and asked him to help contact Pei Wang. Although Pei Wang refused to meet you, this incident also left an impression of your name in his mind."

"So, when he was touched by your acting later, he remembered that you had met him before, and that's how things worked out. Several factors are essential."

The system rarely argued with Ning Chuchu, but instead said sincerely: "Host, I've wanted to say this for a long time. Sometimes, you don't need to rely on me too much, and you don't need to attribute all your success to me."

"The reason why you have come to where you are today is actually more because of yourself."

"Because you are Ning Chuchu, the unique heroine in this world, you can create so many miracles."

"Believe in yourself, host!"

The truth system is certainly a very powerful plug-in, but if someone else were to bind it, it might not necessarily have such a "miraculous effect".

Therefore, Ning Chuchu is indeed the most special existence.

After listening to the system's call, Ning Chuchu fell into deep thought. After a long while, she smiled nonchalantly and said casually, "Maybe."

But there seemed to be strange emotions surging in her peach blossom eyes.

Ning Chuchu wanted to meet Pei Wang as soon as possible to finalize the cooperation, but according to Pei Xingyan, Pei Wang is currently abroad and has some other things to do, so the meeting can only be postponed.

Ning Chuchu didn't want to rush him, so she continued working while waiting for news from Pei Wang.

Before meeting Pei Wang, Ning Chuchu started recording the second episode of "My Brothers and Sisters".

This episode was recorded in Italy, a romantic country.

This time, Ning Chuchu attracted more attention than before.

"Chu Chu, congratulations, you performed very well in 'Swordsman'." Actor Yi Jun looked at her with a smile, his eyes even seemed affectionate.

Ning Chuchu was wearing a pair of sunglasses, so others couldn't see her eyes, but it was obvious that her smile was polite and distant. She nodded modestly, "Thank you."

Feeling Ning Chuchu's lukewarm attitude, Yi Jun frowned imperceptibly.

In particular, when Yi Wen and Hu Jialing carefully spoke to Ning Chuchu and praised her performance in "Swordsman", Ning Chuchu not only took off her sunglasses and looked into their eyes seriously when speaking, but her attitude also became noticeably gentler.

Seeing this, Yi Jun's face darkened.

But soon, his frown relaxed. After all, he was a man, and Ning Chuchu should avoid being in front of the camera.

With his keen observation skills, he was sure that Ning Chuchu was definitely paying attention to him and would sneak a peek at him from time to time.

Why else could a woman frequently peek at a man?

Of course Ning Chuchu was attracted to him!

It is only natural that Ning Chuchu, who has just begun to master acting, would admire him, the newly crowned best actor.

Yi Jun smiled confidently, with a strong determination to win in his eyes.

Considering Ning Chuchu's care and affection for him, what he was going to mention to her later would probably not be difficult at all.

After several guests got off the plane, they took a car to the final recording location. While chatting in the car, Yi Jun mentioned something seemingly casually, "By the way, Chuchu, I heard that you recently invested in a new movie?"

Ning Chuchu's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't expect this person to be so well-informed. She nodded calmly, "Yes."

Yi Jun smiled and said, "I had the honor of reading the script of that movie before. It was really good."

Normally, at this time, if Ning Chuchu had the foresight, she would take the initiative to invite Yi Jun to participate. After all, if a new actor joined, it would definitely be a win-win situation for her.

However, Ning Chuchu smiled lightly and refused to respond: "It's indeed good."

Yi Jun: “…”

Wasn't his hint obvious enough? Just as Yi Jun was hesitating whether to make it clearer, Hu Jiayu spoke up for him, "Chu Chu, I know you're famous now and most people can't afford you, but Brother Yi is an award-winning actor, you should at least respect him, right?"

Yi Jun has always been a smooth talker, but this time he did not say anything to stop Hu Jiayu. He just looked down at the ground as if nothing had happened.

Xie Jinqiu, who was sitting quietly in the corner, frowned slightly and glanced at the two people with sharp eyes.

The next second, Sui Feng said lazily: "Respect? Does Chu Chu disrespect anyone? Do we have to kneel on the ground and talk to the big movie star? Is this respect?"

Ning Chuchu cooperated by curling the corners of her lips, with obvious sarcasm in her eyes.

Some people take themselves too seriously.

Yi Jun and Hu Jiayu's faces turned pale. Hu Jiayu glared and wanted to continue talking, but Yi Jun interrupted her first, "Jiayu, you are too excited. Don't talk nonsense. I have a good relationship with Chuchu."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows playfully.

My goodness, this Yi Jun is really good at tea. He is almost as good as his former self.

Hu Jiayu loyally stood up for him, but he simply put all the blame on the "excited" Hu Jiayu, leaving himself clear of all charges.

Yi Jun is a very flexible and thick-skinned person. After pretending to reprimand Hu Jiayu, he looked at Ning Chuchu with a smile, and this time he chose to speak directly, "Chuchu, I am very interested in the script you invested in. I wonder if there is a chance to cooperate with you?"

To have come this far, Yi Jun certainly has a good eye for finding good scripts. Moreover, he values ​​Ning Chuchu's high popularity and good image even more, and he really wants to work with her.

He was confident that he had a high status and good acting skills, and his joining would only add wings to Ning Chuchu, and Ning Chuchu had no reason to refuse.

Sure enough, Ning Chuchu happily nodded and said, "Okay, it's my honor that Brother Yi is willing to do me a favor."

A complacent and satisfied smile suddenly appeared on Yi Jun's face, but it froze in the next second.

Because Ning Chuchu said with a smile: "The male lead of our movie has been decided. If Brother Yi is willing to play the second male lead, it will be the icing on the cake!"

Yi Jun's face darkened slightly, and a hint of displeasure welled up in his eyes. He had just won the Best Actor award this year, and he was in high spirits. How could he possibly play a supporting role for someone else? Ning Chuchu was really too ungrateful!

Yi Jun was not able to express his dissatisfaction directly, but fortunately Hu Jiayu rushed forward for him.

She said in a sinister tone, "Chu Chu, you are really too arrogant now. You even let the movie king play a supporting role for you. No matter how famous you are now, you should still respect your seniors a little bit, right?"

Ning Chuchu shrugged, "Brother Yi also said that he is very optimistic about this movie, so he is willing to give the role of the second male lead to Brother Yi. I already respect him enough."

After being blocked by Ning Chuchu's words, Yi Jun was speechless for a moment.

He thought about it, and began to retreat in order to advance, smiling and said: "How about this, Chuchu, can you give me a chance to compete for the male lead?"

Yi Jun raised his head slightly and smiled confidently: "In terms of acting, I am confident that I am not inferior to anyone else. Give me a fair chance to compete."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly and curled the corners of her lips meaningfully, "Okay."

Hu Jiayu praised him at the right time: "Brother Yi's acting is so good, he will definitely win!"

She glanced at Ning Chuchu again and said, "Chuchu, you are lucky to have found such an excellent male lead like Brother Yi."

Hu Jiayu was really a little jealous. Yi Jun was popular, had good acting skills, and had just won the Best Actor award. Such an amazing person took the initiative to work with Ning Chuchu, but she was still trying to resist. She was simply ungrateful!

At this moment, Xie Jinqiu, who had always been aloof and taciturn, suddenly asked: "Miss Ning, who is the male lead in your original movie?"

Ning Chuchu looked up at him in surprise.

She remembered...she had mentioned to Xie Jinqiu a long time ago that the movie she invested in was going to star the best actor Pei Wang. At that time, Xie Jinqiu also gave her detailed guidance on some investment matters, and the two rarely had a very speculative chat.

Xie Jinqiu clearly knew her chosen male lead, so why did she ask specifically?

The doubts in Ning Chuchu's heart slowly dissipated when she touched the smile in Xie Jinqiu's eyes.

Her eyes widened in disbelief. Could it be that... Xie Jinqiu asked this deliberately, wanting to cooperate with her to shame Yi Jun and Hu Jiayu?

Ning Chuchu was startled, and immediately cooperated with a reserved and humble smile, and said loudly: "The choice of the male lead...is the actor Pei Wang."

Pei Wang won the Best Actor award at the age of 16 when he debuted. He became an international actor in his twenties. He is a recognized acting genius and a leader in the entertainment and film industries.

Yi Jun wanted to mention this legendary figure together with Pei Wang's name to promote him.

"Mr. Pei?!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and started asking Ning Chuchu about the details.

Ning Chuchu sat leisurely, watching with satisfaction as Yi Jun's expression slowly stiffened. Hu Jiayu also lowered his head in embarrassment.

As soon as Pei Wang's name was mentioned, Yi Jun and Hu Jiayu, who had just spoken out, became a laughing stock.

At this point they were so embarrassed that their faces turned red, and they huddled in a corner, not daring to say a word.

Yi Jun listened to the praises of Pei Wang, and a hint of deep jealousy and hatred flashed across his eyes.

Yi Jun is of similar age to Pei Wang and debuted at about the same time, but he has always been under Pei Wang's shadow.

In front of such a genius, even the outstanding him was made to look quite mediocre, as if he had no merit at all. It was only now that Pei Wang gradually faded out of the limelight that Yi Jun had more opportunities.

Pei Wang has faded from the limelight, and many opportunities have fallen to him. Yi Jun was happy, but also felt deeply humiliated. Why can he always only pick up what Pei Wang doesn't want? !

Thinking of the humiliation he had experienced, Yi Jun unconsciously clenched his hands on his knees into fists. But soon, he thought of something, his expression gradually relaxed, and a trace of twisted madness and pride flashed in his eyes.

Soon, he would be able to turn the so-called genius actor into a rat that everyone wanted to beat. Then, the biggest shadow hanging over him would disappear...

Yi Jun lowered his eyes calmly, not trying to find something to save face. This unexpected silence made Ning Chuchu look sideways, always feeling that he was weird.

Fortunately, after successfully using Pei Wang's name to shut up these two people, Yi Jun and Hu Jiayu finally stopped talking. While Ning Chuchu was able to have peace of mind, she also felt relieved.

Then, she looked at Xie Jinqiu thoughtfully, and met those black eyes that contained a smile.

Ning Chuchu smiled at him unconsciously, and there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between the two of them.

Ning Chuchu thought a little playfully, she didn't expect that a serious and rigid person like Xie Jinqiu would have such a wicked side. Taking the initiative to make fun of her and slap her in the face...it's really not like what he would do.

But it's very interesting.

Soon, the group arrived at their destination. They were going to stay in a duplex building with a local style. After everyone simply put their luggage away, they started the first day of recording at the urging of the program team.

The guests drew lots to determine their next jobs.

In the end, Ning Chuchu, Xie Jinqiu, and Gu Yunfei were given the task of going out for shopping, while the others were cleaning or preparing dinner, each with their own tasks.

"Let's go." Ning Chuchu put on the pair of sunglasses again and walked ahead.

Behind her, there were two tall men, and she really looked like a queen going out on the street.

On the first day, the program team provided sufficient funds, so the group went straight to the largest shopping mall in the area.

When passing by a stall, the handsome shop owner excitedly called Ning Chuchu and said something to her while gesturing.

Ning Chuchu smiled and nodded at him from time to time, but she didn't understand a word he said.

Finally, the shop owner finished speaking a series of words in Italian and looked at Ning Chuchu expectantly, as if waiting for her answer.

Ning Chuchu: “…”

As a last resort, she could only turn her head silently and look at Xie Jinqiu beside her.

She had thought that this cheap fiancé was very tactful before, but why was he like a blockhead now? Could he translate for them? He was the only one in the group who was fluent in Italian.

However, after receiving the gesture from Ning Chuchu's eyes, Xie Jinqiu frowned in confusion.

He hesitated and asked, "You...can speak Italian, right?"

The implication is that there is no need for him to help with translation, right?

Ning Chuchu: “……?”

Ning Chuchu was stunned for a while before she slowly remembered something...

When she went to Xie's to shoot the endorsement advertisement for A, she met an enthusiastic Italian handsome man who approached her. At that time, she was inspired and translated his words using the real-time system, which gave the impression that she could understand Italian.

Ning Chuchu couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Who would have thought that after such a long time ago, they would still need after-sales service? !

This boomerang really pierced her heart. :)
