Chapter 48
Perhaps Yu Xiaoxiao was really afraid that Jiang Qiao would snatch the man she had finally gotten close to, so she didn't dare to say anything rude to him. She just glared at him from time to time, which didn't have any harmful power, so Jiang Qiao pretended not to see it.
The next morning, Julie came early and said that the crew asked her to go early.
Jiang Qiao was puzzled: "Isn't there no role for me today?"
The drama she starred in was an ancient idol drama, and most of the roles were played by the male lead. The third female lead was just a villain cannon fodder, so she didn't have many useful parts.
Basically, the crew only lets her go when they have scenes for her.
Julie shook her head: "I don't know, that's what the crew said, maybe they changed the play."
An assistant is just someone who runs back and forth.
"OK."
Jiang Qiao was afraid of being late and being scolded by the crew, so he didn't even have time to eat breakfast. After arriving, he found out that he had to reshoot a scene.
It took less than half an hour in total. After the reshoot, Jiang Qiao was about to leave, but was told that he had to attend a business dinner in the evening.
There are such dinners in the circle from time to time. Those who attend are all powerful people. Directors go to solicit investment, and actors go mostly to cheer for the big shots, and some also go to find financial sponsors.
Jiang Qiao also attended a few such dinners when she first became famous in the real world. Every time she went, she would eat in a corner with few people, so no one came to disturb her.
Later, as she became more and more popular, more and more big men wanted to keep her, so Jiang Qiao stopped going.
For this kind of dinner, the director usually brings a few leading actors along. Although Jiang Qiao is not considered a leading actor, she is pretty, so she is also invited to go.
Six o'clock in the evening.
In the nanny car, the male and female protagonists and the director sat in the front, followed by the second female and male protagonists. Jiang Qiao sat in the back, with little sense of presence. He couldn't openly play with his phone in front of everyone who was chatting enthusiastically, so he could only look out the window bored.
Although I didn't listen specifically, I still heard some of the conversation.
"Director, I heard that the biggest investor in our drama is Guonan Group?"
"Guonan Group, that Guonan?"
"Except for that one, who else could it be?" The male lead sighed: "Who would have thought that our crew was actually invested by Guonan..."
"Of course not." The director said with pride and envy: "This is the first entertainment industry that Guonan Corporation invested in after it moved to China."
Guonan Group was just a small foreign company four years ago, but in just a few years, it has climbed to the top of domestic and international wealth lists.
Legend has it that the president of China Southern is a young man named Lu, who was called a pioneer of new-age investment by the Economic Times.
A year ago, the headquarters of Guonan Group suddenly moved from abroad to China, and successively developed many industries, all of which made a lot of money.
Many companies were very dissatisfied and deliberately intercepted Guonan Group's projects. The next day, they found that their own funding chain was broken. Guonan did not avoid suspicion at all and took the opportunity to acquire most of the company's shares at a low price, which directly shocked other people who were ready to move.
Everyone respects and fears Mr. Lu, who is decisive and ruthless.
The second female lead said, "I wonder if Mr. Lu will come tonight."
“……………………”
After these words were spoken, everyone was silent and no one responded.
The heroine glanced at the second female lead with disdain.
There are many women who want to hook up with Mr. Lu, but I have never heard of any one who succeeded.
The male lead was smooth-talking and quickly found a new topic and restored the liveliness.
Only Jiang Qiao in the corner was staring outside in a daze.
In the five-star banquet hall, the crystal chandelier shines brightly, and the tall glasses clink gently.
The guests were all well-known celebrities, including some of the hottest stars in the entertainment industry. Jiang Qiao also saw several top male actors among them.
Wealth, power and beauty are intertwined, with elegant clothes, beautiful women and extravagant sounds and nights.
The director took out the invitation and the waiter led a few people in.
Once inside, except for the leading actor and actress who could follow the director, everyone else left on their own accord.
Some people make friends with other directors or seniors, while others look for suitable sponsors.
Compared to the high-end dresses worn by others, Jiang Qiao's outfit today was too ordinary. It was a simple white dress without any decorations. Her long hair was tied up, and her slender neck showed a white halo under the light.
Jiang Qiao first casually walked around the banquet hall, his bright peach blossom eyes searched around calmly, then dropped his eyes without any emotion.
She didn't eat anything in the evening. She took a small plate and picked up a few pieces of cake from the dessert table. She sat on the sofa nearby and ate them bit by bit. She was out of tune with the other people who were socializing enthusiastically.
A few minutes later, someone walked quickly up to her. Jiang Qiao looked up and saw that it was Yu Xiaoxiao.
She was dressed stunningly today, wearing a burgundy floor-length fishtail skirt, her brown hair dyed back to black, curled and hanging down behind her, and delicate makeup. She looked really beautiful.
But at this moment, that pretty face was filled with tension and anger. Yu Xiaoxiao whispered, "Jiang Qiao, what are you doing here!"
"Only you are allowed to come, but not me. Why? Is this dinner hosted by you, or is this land yours? Stomp your feet and ask it if it agrees."
"You!" Yu Xiaoxiao's face twisted with anger, but she endured it and looked Jiang Qiao up and down. She gritted her teeth and said with disdain, "Don't think I don't know why you came. You just want to seduce Mr. Li. With your poor appearance, you can't even afford a decent piece of clothing. Mr. Li will probably be disgusted when he sees you."
In fact, she said this on purpose. Although Jiang Qiao was dressed simply, she was too beautiful.
Yu Xiaoxiao was reluctant to praise Jiang Qiao, but she had to admit that this simple outfit made Jiang Qiao look more pure and gentle.
There were more people carrying clothes than people carrying clothes. It was obvious that Jiang Qiao was in the latter group.
This is also the reason why she felt nervous and afraid that Jiang Qiaozhen would go and show up in front of Mr. Li.
"Really? If you say so, then I have to go over and see if he will lose his appetite..." Jiang Qiao pretended to get up, which scared Yu Xiaoxiao so much that she looked around.
Jiang Qiao half stood up and stared at her: "Are you not leaving yet?"
Yu Xiaoxiao was really scared. Seeing this, she turned around quickly and left a harsh message: "Just wait for me."
Jiang Qiao stood up straight.
Yu Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and she walked away quickly.
[You are becoming more and more scary.] 166 said.
Jiang Qiao said "Yo" very halfheartedly: [You're back.]
166 Unhappy: [………Why aren’t you surprised at all?]
[Don't you want to know why I appeared again?]
Jiang Qiao had a cold face.
What a surprise! Six years ago, not long after Lu Xun went abroad, 166 disappeared.
According to the system's rules, it will only appear when the plot happens. She can guess it with her toes. She said calmly: [Lu Xun has returned to China, right?]
