Chapter 144 I Promise
Since this is an interview-type dinner, Ning Mingluo has to make some preparations.
After Sister Chen picked him up, she took him to do his hairstyling first.
Ning Mingluo asked midway, "Sister Chen, we're going to meet the director soon. You can tell me who he is now, right?"
It was almost time for dinner, but he still had no idea who he was going to meet or what kind of role he was going to audition for.
Isn't this a bit too weird?
Moreover, Ning Mingluo felt that the person who could gain Luo Chen's attention like this must not be a small director.
He searched his mind but couldn't think of who it could be. After all, the famous directors in the circle seemed to have works being filmed, and he hadn't heard of any of them planning to shoot a new movie.
"This is the other party's request. Before meeting you, I cannot reveal their identity to you. Don't worry, I will not harm you."
Of course Luo Chen would not harm him, but he couldn't help but be curious about who the other person was.
Luo Chen smiled at Ning Mingluo in the mirror: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Ning Mingluo then gave up the idea of asking further questions. Anyway, he would know who it was after waiting for another hour or two.
There's no need to be so anxious, he can just wait patiently.
The evening appointment was at a private restaurant with a very elegant private room. Ning Mingluo and the others had just sat down when they heard footsteps at the door of the room. It must be the director.
I subconsciously stood up from my seat and looked towards the door.
Just looking at it, Ning Mingluo was stunned.
The person at the door had long golden hair tied into a ponytail, and her deep blue gemstone-like eyes were mysterious and beautiful. Looking down, she was no longer wearing a mask, revealing her delicate jaw.
The director who came was none other than Director Kes, whom Gu Xiucheng and Ning Mingluo had mentioned some time ago.
Ning Mingluo didn't expect that the person he was going to meet today was Director Kes.
Isn’t Director Kes abroad?
Kes didn't stand at the door, but walked in directly and stood in front of Ning Mingluo: "Hello, I'm Kes, nice to see you again."
"Hello, Director Kes." Ning Mingluo was still a little stunned. No wonder he felt that this man looked familiar when he saw him in the morning.
Luo Chen heard the conversation between the two and wondered if they had met before.
Putting these things aside for now, Luo Chen asked everyone to sit down: "Don't stand, everyone sit down."
"Thank you for helping me choose things this morning." Kes smiled at Ning Mingluo.
Ning Mingluo felt that this talented director was somewhat different from what the media reported.
In everyone's description, Chris is a lonely genius. His directing talent is unmatched. He has won various international awards at a young age, but this talented director is very eccentric.
Without exception, all the actors who have worked with him praised Director Kes for his extreme seriousness in his work, which is why he has produced so many excellent works. But at the same time, everyone also expressed another opinion, that is, there seems to be no way to communicate with Director Kes.
They have a barrier with Director Kes and cannot figure out what Director Kes is thinking.
But now, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Ning Mingluo felt that he was actually very easy to get along with, even a little cute.
How could a young man who could even get the seasoning wrong and still greet him happily be a lonely teenager?
"I didn't expect to meet you there by chance."
"I've been living nearby during my time in China." Kes said with a smile, "I'm also very happy to meet you. You fit the role I imagined perfectly."
Ning Mingluo still didn't know what kind of role the other party wanted to play, so he could only smile.
Kes didn't feel uncomfortable, but continued: "When you bought those things in the morning, can you cook by yourself?"
Ning Mingluo nodded. "I only know how to cook some simple dishes. Is Director Kes also interested in cooking?"
Kes didn't say much about the role, and Ning Mingluo didn't ask any more questions. After all, if he got too anxious about this kind of thing, others might not be happy about it. It would be better to talk about some topics of interest.
Kes is a director he admires very much. Even if they can't work together, it would be nice to be able to become friends in the end.
"I like these dishes. You have no idea what kind of awful food I usually eat. But actually, I don't know how to cook them. Jane said that dogs wouldn't eat the dishes I cook." As he spoke, a frustrated look appeared on Kes's face.
Ning Mingluo pursed her lips. If he could even get the seasoning wrong, his cooking skills must not be that good.
But Ning Mingluo didn't dare to laugh at Director Kes.
This director is not only young and cute in appearance, but also has top-notch ability and status, and he is praised and coaxed wherever he is.
"If you don't mind, I can cook for you when I have time."
When Kes heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really? I really want to eat it!"
When he met her in the supermarket in the morning, he thought that this person was very beautiful and suitable for the male lead of his next drama, but Ning Mingluo had half of her face covered at the time, so he didn't recognize her for a while. When Luo Chen contacted him again in the afternoon, he remembered her.
This is the actor I wanted to meet. I am so lucky.
He could already confirm that he wanted this person to be his lead actor.
And now this person said he would make him something delicious, which made him like it even more.
Although Ning Mingluo didn't understand why the other party liked him so much, he felt honored to be liked by Director Kes.
As they ate and chatted, Ning Mingluo felt that Kes was much more talkative than he had imagined.
And because of Kes's talent, Ning Mingluo had a lot of fun chatting with him and even forgot the time for a moment.
It wasn't until his phone vibrated that he noticed that two hours had passed.
He looked at the phone call from Gu Xiucheng and thought to himself that something bad was going to happen.
Kes was good at observing other people's emotions. Seeing the tension between Ning Mingluo's eyebrows, he realized that this call was very important to Ning Mingluo, or the person who made the call was very important to Ning Mingluo.
"You answer the phone first, I'm not in a hurry."
Ning Mingluo smiled apologetically and went out to answer the phone.
"Hello, sorry, I forgot the time. I was eating just now and couldn't read your message." Ning Mingluo hurriedly explained after answering the phone.
Although Gu Xiucheng was unhappy over there, this was Ning Mingluo's job and he had no choice.
"I'll pick you up now, okay?"
Ning Mingluo thought it was quite late, so he agreed to Gu Xiucheng.
After going back to explain to Kes, Kes did not stay long. Instead, he added Ning Mingluo's contact information and said that he was looking forward to eating the dishes cooked by Ning Mingluo himself.
In the parking lot, Kes, Ning Mingluo and Luo Chen were waiting together for the person to pick them up.
Gu Xiucheng arrived first, he is closer to this side.
"Ning, do you mind hugging me for a moment? I'm looking forward to working with you."
Ning Mingluo didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Gu Xiucheng was right over there, and he felt that if he dared to hug Kes, Gu Xiucheng would definitely make trouble with him.
But Kes was a director he admired very much, and he had just helped him answer many acting questions, but he didn't say anything at all, as if that wasn't the case.
As if noticing Ning Mingluo's embarrassment, Kes glanced at the black car not far away and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then, when Ning Mingluo wasn't noticing, he reached out and hugged Ning Mingluo, but they separated in a moment.
He raised a beautiful smile and said, "Sometimes you have to make your lover jealous. It's just a little fun. Okay, I won't bother you anymore. The person who picked me up is here. Bye."
The one who runs away after doing bad things is Kes.
This is obviously a quirky troublemaker. Who said Director Kes is a loner? This generation of paparazzi is no good!
When Gu Xiucheng saw this scene, he was furious. He opened the car door and walked directly towards Ning Mingluo. Ning Mingluo, with a dark face, didn't dare to look directly at Gu Xiucheng.
Luo Chen also noticed that Gu Xiucheng's expression was obviously wrong. She didn't expect that Kes would be so bold as to hug Ning Mingluo directly.
Who was it that said that strangers should stay away from Kes? He has a weird personality. This night completely overturned their cognition.
Luo Chen, determined to live a life of despair, leaned close to Ning Mingluo and whispered, "I can't help you either. You should talk to Mr. Gu yourself. It's getting late, so I'll be leaving now."
This person didn't even give Ning Mingluo a chance to react and just ran away.
Ning Mingluo was left alone there, at a loss as to what to do.
Sister Chen, how come even you have learned bad things from her!
Ning Mingluo was now forced to face Gu Xiucheng alone. He put on a gentle smile and said, "You've come at a very bad time."
"Humph, if I don't hurry up, my wife will run away with someone else."
"How could that be? You know, you are the only one in my heart." Gu Xiucheng is obviously a childish guy now. He must be coaxed and made happy first.
“Who knows how many people are in your heart?”
"Mr. Gu, you can't wrongly accuse me. You know very well that I care about you the most." Ning Mingluo stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers around Gu Xiucheng, intertwining them and coaxing Gu Xiucheng into submission in no time.
Gu Xiucheng tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, but he honestly held Ning Mingluo's hand with his fingers and walked towards the car.
In the car, Ning Mingluo took the initiative to explain, "The person just now was Director Kes, an internationally renowned and talented director. We may collaborate in the future, which is why we had dinner today. Oh, and I also ran into him this morning when I went to the supermarket to buy groceries. He seems to live near our house."
"Kes? Still living near us?"
Gu Xiucheng didn't pay attention to anything else, he just heard that he lived very close to home!
How could he let someone who dared to hug Luoluo live near his home? This was not allowed, absolutely not allowed.
"Don't worry, Director Kes has a childlike mind. You don't have to be so hostile to him. I can feel that he simply admires me and thinks I can play the role in his mind." Although I don't know what this role is for the time being, I'll just coax Gu Xiucheng like this first, otherwise I really don't know what kind of trouble he will cause.
"He's already a grown man. If he hugs you again next time, I won't let him go easily."
"Okay, I understand."
"Be serious."
"I promise!"
As for Kes's suggestion of coming to our house for dinner, I'll tell Gu Xiucheng later.
