Chapter 12
The first house Ruan Nanzhi looked at was in the town center, close to the subway. The location was good and the furniture was complete. The only drawback was that it was not cost-effective, which exceeded her expectations.
The landlord offered 1,500 for this house, and with the water and electricity bills, it would be almost 2,000.
Ruan Nanzhi started to bargain, "1,000 a month is not enough? Internet included."
Yan Liu also said, "If it's suitable, I'll rent one too."
The landlord refused, saying, "This is already the lowest price."
"Let's go!" Ruan Nanzhi had to give up no matter how reluctant she was. The decoration of the first house was really to her liking.
After that, Ruan Nanzhi looked at several houses one after another. Either the location was not suitable, or the decoration was not good, or the cost-effectiveness was not high. In short, after looking for a whole morning, she didn't feel that any house was particularly suitable.
"Let's go have a meal first?"
It was already lunchtime, and there happened to be a snail noodle shop nearby, so the two of them went in together.
There were a lot of people in the snail noodle shop, so Ruan Nanzhi and Yan Liu found a table with fewer people to sit at.
Both of them ordered the extra spicy snail noodles with fried eggs, but the difference was that Ruan Nanzhi did not want chopped green onions or cilantro.
You know, Ruan Nanzhi is a bit picky.
I hate things like onions, ginger, garlic, vinegar and coriander the most.
After a few minutes, the extra spicy snail noodles came up. There was a layer of red oil on the snail noodles, and you could tell at a glance that it tasted great.
The fried eggs are covered with soup, very tasty, and very satisfying to eat in one go.
After finishing the snail noodles, Ruan Nanzhi touched her stomach and couldn't help but burped. "It's so delicious. Let's come back next time."
Yan Liu slurped the snail noodles and bit off some, then looked up and said, "Okay!"
"By the way, where should we go to find a house this afternoon?" Yan Liu asked.
Ruan Nanzhi fiddled with her cell phone.
"I don't know either!"
"Search again and see!"
Yan Liu: "Yeah."
Just after lunch, Xiao Ai saw the circle of friends posted by Ruan Nanzhi and told Gu Moji.
"Brother Gu, Sister Nanzhi is looking for a house!"
Gu Moji paused while reciting his lines, then said, "Hmm."
Xiao Ai continued to talk to herself, "It just so happens that I have a house here."
Assistant Xiao Ai owns several houses at home and is a real rich woman. Her houses are basically located in prime locations.
Gu Moji: "Is this your house or someone else's house?"
Xiao Ai said embarrassedly, "It's my family's house. It happened to be vacant for a month, but I couldn't find anyone to rent it."
The staff nearby blushed when they heard Xiao Ai's teasing. "I didn't expect Xiao Ai to be a hidden rich woman!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai responded generously, "No, it's just that if I don't work hard, I'll have to go home and collect rent."
Gu Moji didn't expect Xiao Ai's family background to be like this. After all, Xiao Ai is very low-key, doesn't have any big brands on her, and has a good temper. She has followed him since the internship and never shows off her wealth.
Gu Moji and Xiao Ai live in the same place. I thought it was arranged by the company, but now I think it might be Xiao Ai's own house.
Xiao Ai sent a WeChat message to Ruan Nanzhi.
Xiao Ai: "Are you looking for a house? I have one here."
Xiao Ai sent all the basic information about the property and the location where the keys were hidden.
When Ruan Nanzhi received the message, she was looking for a house. After seeing Xiao Ai's message, Ruan Nanzhi felt like she had found a life-saving straw and came back to life.
To be honest, after a whole morning of house hunting, Ruan Nanzhi was almost exhausted.
So when Ruan Nanzhi received Xiao Ai's message, he took a taxi and went to see the house with Yan Liu.
When I went into the house, I saw that the decoration was the most popular cream-style loft house. Both houses were decorated in this style, which immediately caught Ruan Nanzhi's heart.
The price is also reasonable. Xiao Ai offered a rental price of 1,000 yuan.
Ruan Nanzhi has never lived in a loft, so this is a good opportunity to experience it.
Ruan Nanzhi walked around the house a few more times and found that the nearby supermarkets, snack streets and other supporting facilities were quite complete.
"That's it! What do you think?" Ruan Nanzhi was very satisfied with the house. "Or do you have any other ideas?"
Yan Liu said, "I don't have any other ideas, this set is great!"
Ruan Nanzhi: "Then let's settle on this."
Yan Liu: "Okay! Okay!"
"Then how long will our contract last?"
Ruan Nanzhi introduced the details of the house to her. "The house is 1,000 yuan, one month deposit and one month payment, not including the internet fee."
The internet fee is generally around 60 yuan, and the water and electricity fees are generally less than 200 yuan, which means the price is controlled at 1,300 yuan, which is just within Ruan Nanzhi's budget.
Since he has some free time today, Ruan Nanzhi plans to move some things over first.
When she returned home to pack her things, Ruan Nanzhi received a message from the director of the short play.
The specific content is that she was chosen to be the heroine.
She, Ruan Nanzhi, can be the heroine.
The shooting time of the drama was 7 days. This kind of short drama is the most tiring and the budget is not that big, so it takes a long time. Basically, we shoot from very early in the morning to the next day.
Ruan Nanzhi looked at the script and made preparations in advance regarding time and other matters.
I was planning to move some things first, but it looks like I have to move everything.
Ruan Nanzhi returned to her residence and began to pack her things. She had a lot of things, and some of the DIY jewelry materials needed to be moved carefully. She moved them several times, and only one trip was left.
When we arrived downstairs at the new campus, it was already dark. It was our last trip. There were some large items that were placed downstairs, and Ruan Nanzhi moved them up one by one.
After moving for an entire afternoon, there were only a few large items left. Ruan Nanzhi planned to move them later, so he tidied up the house first and ordered another bibimbap.
Before I knew it, it was dark.
Xiao Ai: "Have you moved everything?"
Ruan Nanzhi: "Almost. Let's sign the contract when you come back!"
Xiao Ai: "Okay! I'll come back to find you."
When Xiao Ai and Gu Moji came back, they happened to meet Ruan Nanzhi who was working hard to move goods.
Xiao Ai saw her and then realized, "I'll go get the rental contract!"
"Okay." Ruan Nanzhi agreed and continued moving things.
"Do you need my help?" Gu Moji raised his eyebrows. "There are so many things!"
Ruan Nanzhi wanted to refuse, after all, it was inconvenient to trouble others, but after looking at the large items, she finally said, "Thank you very much, I owe you a meal."
"Okay." Gu Moji shamelessly continued to make requests, "I want you to make Maoxuewang."
The Maoxuewang made by Ruan Nanzhi tastes n times better than those made in Sichuan restaurants outside.
Ruan Nanzhi laughed a little, "I know."
I don’t know how delicious the Maoxuewang she made is.
It makes her remember it till now.
Gu Moji took off his coat and threw it to Ruan Nanzhi, leaving only a short T-shirt inside. His muscles could be seen, and the muscle lines were perfect. When he moved and lifted, his eight abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen, which was quite impressive.
Gu Moji moved several times, which made Ruan Nanzhi feel a little embarrassed.
"Thank you!"
Ruan Nanzhi expressed her sincere gratitude.
The next morning, Ruan Nanzhi went to attend the opening ceremony of the short drama.
The crew also arranged a temporary assistant for Ruan Nanzhi. As for the name, she said it would be fine to call her Xiaoxia.
The opening ceremony is a small ceremony where everyone takes turns to burn incense and each person receives a red envelope.
After the opening ceremony, the drama officially started filming.
The general plot of the drama is that the heroine is a real daughter who has five brothers. They were replaced since childhood and grew up in the countryside. When she came back, she acted like a fake daughter, making her family dislike her. In the end, she died in a car accident, and then she was reborn and took revenge.
The filming on the first day was completed at two o'clock in the morning, and Ruan Nanzhi stayed in the crew's hotel to facilitate filming.
The drama was filmed for a total of seven days and was finally completed.
The vertical screen short drama starring Ruan Nanzhi was broadcast just a few days after filming was completed.
As the female lead, Ruan Nanzhi volunteered to promote the drama.
Nguyen Nan-chi promoted the show to everyone she knew.
Even the promotional information for the drama was forwarded on Weibo.
Normally, such a vertical screen short drama would hardly make any splash, as it was just for self-entertainment, but this drama became a hit.
Ruan Nanzhi didn't expect this drama to become so popular, and major marketing accounts came out to recommend it.
If Ruan Nanzhi didn't know that the crew was really poor, she would have thought that the promotion was bought by the production team.
The drama became popular, and as a result, Ruan Nanzhi gained 200,000 followers on Weibo.
After filming this drama, Ruan Nanzhi plans to take a break.
She told Yan Liu about this, and Yan Liu hugged her and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Maybe you'll be famous in the future! Get over it, this is the entertainment industry!"
"I'm famous." Ruan Nanzhi was unsure, "Then just wait!"
Yan Liu clasped his fists and said, "Don't even think about waiting for you to become famous. I still need to rely on you!"
Ruan Nanzhi: "Thank you, thank you."
As the skit she starred in became popular, she was invited to several variety shows.
Ruan Nanzhi compared several programs and finally chose an acting program. She thought that by participating in the variety show, she could also learn acting.
Maybe this will allow more people to see me, this is an opportunity.
After returning home, Ruan Nanzhi was busy moving and filming a drama, but she hasn’t lived in the new house yet!
After moving to a new place, Ruan Nanzhi called a nanny to clean the house. Half an hour later, Ruan Nanzhi's home looked brand new.
Ruan Nanzhi lay on the sofa, constantly browsing the trending search terms related to the short drama she had filmed. There were all kinds of video clips in it, and she saw likes and comments...
Ruan Nanzhi finally realized that she had become a little famous!
Will there be fans greeting her when she goes out in the future?
Will passersby recognize me as a celebrity?
Will I really become a big star in the future?
…
These filled Ruan Nanzhi's mind.
The first person to congratulate Ruan Nanzhi was Bai Muxi, who spoke with great discretion.
"I watched the TV series you acted in, it was great!"
Ruan Nanzhi replied, “Thank you!”
It's a little different from what Ruan Nanzhi imagined, but it's not a big problem.
Then my mother called and said, "I saw the drama you shared, and you're the female lead! You really made me proud."
"Yes! Yes!" Ruan Nanzhi began to brag, "I acted well! Your daughter is quite famous now."
"Okay, big star, you better try your best to find me a partner!"
It was like this again. After a few words, they talked about blind dates again. Ruan Nanzhi didn't want to listen anymore. "Let's stop here for now, Mom. That's it for now!"
WeChat vibrated twice.
It’s still my mother’s urging to get married.
Mom: "Find a good partner."
Mom: "Get married soon."
Ruan Nanzhi: “…”
