"How many scenes would you do as a body double for a female celebrity?"
Jiang Nian couldn't help but frown.
“Yes,” Lin Ruru nodded.
"Niannian, you probably don't follow the entertainment industry. That director is Li Mu, a very capable new director. His first TV series was a huge hit last year. That actress is Ming Xin, she became famous for her web series and is very popular now."
"I hadn't paid any attention to Mingxin before. After Assistant Wu told me about her, I searched for her online and found that we do have similar figures. However, I'm just a lower-budget version of her." Lin Ruru stuck out her tongue.
"Anyway, the assistant said that as long as I could spare a day tomorrow to work as a stunt double for a few scenes, I could earn two thousand yuan. I thought about it and agreed."
Lin Ruru's tone was filled with gratitude.
Given her family's circumstances, she would naturally be happy to help ease their financial burden.
But the more Jiang Nian listened, the more her brows furrowed.
"You just agreed to this? Did you even check their identity?"
"That person showed me his business card, which did indeed say 'Assistant Director'..."
Jiang Nian stared at Lin Ruru, her tone suddenly becoming serious.
"You didn't just look at his business card and sign the contract with him, did you?"
Lin Ruru scratched her head, and cautiously asked Jiang Nian, "Is there a problem?"
Jiang Nian paused, unsure of what to say to Lin Ruru.
If she was merely oblivious to emotions, then a naive girl like Lin Ruru was completely unaware of the ugliness of society and human nature.
"Of course."
Jiang Nian's dark eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.
"Let me ask you, what if this person's business card is fake, and his identity is fabricated, and his goal is to deceive a naive girl like you?"
"ah?"
Lin Ruru seemed to have never considered this possibility before, and opened her mouth, "But what can a poor high school student like me do even if they trick me into going?"
"For money, they traffic young girls to the mountains to sell their eggs, force them into prostitution, and illegally transplant organs. Each of these can bring in tens of times more than two thousand yuan."
"Tu Se, if you go to the place designated by this man, once you enter and the door is closed, the so-called director will instruct you on how to film."
"If the camera is pointed at you and the director tells you to take off your clothes because it's for the plot, do you take them off or not? If the director takes advantage of you under the guise of directing, are you able to resist?"
"If you encounter someone who disregards the law even more, what do you think would happen if you were alone in a room with a group of strange men?"
Jiang Nian spoke without any expression, as if she were simply stating a perfectly normal fact.
Lin Ruru turned pale with fright at her words, and images flashed through her mind.
He couldn't help but tremble.
"I... I haven't thought about these things... Niannian, could such a thing really happen?"
Seeing that Lin Ruru was almost crying from fright, Jiang Nian took a deep breath and softened her tone.
"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario."
"But even if this person isn't a fraudster, he is indeed Director Li Mu's assistant, and he did indeed ask you to be Mingxin's stand-in."
"But have you ever thought about the circumstances under which a body double would be needed to film for a female celebrity?"
"This means that those scenes were very likely to be nude, dangerous, or involve suffering. If the actress herself didn't want to do them, the director would find a body double to do them for her."
"In other words, even if this is true, you won't earn this money easily."
Lin Ruru was genuinely frightened by what Jiang Nian said.
When she got anxious, tears welled up in her eyes.
"What should I do now, Niannian? I've already signed a contract with him. If I don't go tomorrow and it delays their filming, I'll have to pay a penalty."
Jiang Nian thought for a moment and said, "Send me the information you have about that person, the filming location he told you about, and a copy of your contract."
Lin Ruru listened to Jiang Nian and immediately sent her the items.
Then, she saw Jiang Nian operate something on her watch and then start typing on the foldable keypad of her phone. Her eyelids were slightly lowered, and her gaze was focused.
For some reason, seeing Jiang Nian like this, Lin Ruru suddenly felt that she didn't have to be afraid of anything, and felt inexplicably safe.
The incandescent light in the store fell on the girl's well-defined profile, making her look cool, beautiful, and otherworldly.
Jiang Nian looked up after a short while: "It shouldn't be a scam; what that person said is true."
Lin Ruru finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, thank you Nian Nian."
"But considering the second possibility I mentioned, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Jiang Nian added, "If it's a scene involving nudity or danger, then you shouldn't do it. If they don't agree, I'll talk to them."
Lin Ruru was moved to tears again.
Her eyes reddened, and she sniffed, "Niannian... I'm so happy to be your friend."
friend.
These were truly unfamiliar words to Jiang Nian in the past.
But now, she has people she can call friends.
"Let's go, Niannian, let's go pick something to eat!"
Lin Ruru put aside her thoughts about tomorrow and enthusiastically took Jiang Nian's hand to choose vegetables.
Jiang Nian had just taken the plastic basin and the grabber when a shadow suddenly fell in front of her.
The man's tall figure, carrying a familiar aura, enveloped her, and naturally wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist from behind.
Despite his powerful aura, his hoarse voice carried a hint of grievance, conveying a sense of melancholy as if his wife was away from home and he was left alone in an empty house.
“Baby…you come and eat delicious food with others all by yourself, and you just leave us two alone.”
