The surrounding staff breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave as if their lives depended on it.
As she passed by Jiang Zao, she cast a grateful glance at her.
Jiang Zao was completely baffled.
After everyone left, Jiang Zao walked to the opposite side of Lu Jinye.
"Are you asking me to come and sign the contract?"
Lu Jinye's heart skipped a beat as he watched Jiang Zao walk in.
"Yes...yes."
Jiang Zao sat down: "Let me take a look at the contract?"
Lu Jinye chuckled: "What, afraid I'll sell you off?"
Jiang Zao snorted: "It's not impossible."
Lu Jinye handed the contract to Jiang Zao: "Seriously, Sister Jiang? How could I dare? Do you want me to have ten lives?"
Jiang Zao took the contract and looked at it carefully, even though she... couldn't understand it.
However, she can tell how much she'll be paid!
Although she already has the Godly Rich System, the feeling of spending money from the system and earning it herself is still different.
She was full of novelty.
Jiang Zao quickly flipped through the contract, and finally saw the payment on the fourth page: five million!
Jiang Zao was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know much about the entertainment industry, she could roughly understand from Lu Xin's rambling that the salary was too high. Many new actors only earned a few hundred thousand yuan for a movie.
Jiang Zao looked up at Lu Jinye: "You'll give me five million?"
Lu Jinye nodded: "Hmm."
Jiang Zao asked, puzzled, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Lu Jinye looked at her amusedly: "You can come up with a hundred million by yourself, and you still think five million is too much?"
Jiang Zao shook her head: "That's different. My investment is my business, but I have to get paid according to the rules when I act in movies."
Lu Jinye straightened his expression and said, "You don't need to worry. This price was decided after multiple evaluations. It's not something I can decide on my own. Your acting skills are worth five million."
Hearing Lu Jinye say that, Jiang Zao didn't say anything more. After all, if the other party didn't think it was too much, why should she worry?
So, Jiang Zao neatly signed her name.
Lu Jinye: "Sister Jiang, aren't you going to take a closer look?"
Jiang Zao glanced at him: "I don't understand it anyway, what's the use of me looking at it carefully?"
Lu Jinye's lips twitched: "If you can't understand it, why did you translate it so carefully just now?"
Jiang Zao: "Then I have to pretend I understand, right? If there are any bad clauses, you'll definitely feel guilty, and I'll know it as soon as I see you feel guilty, won't I?"
Lu Jinye laughed: "Were you seriously bluffing me just now?"
Jiang Zao nodded: "Mhm~"
Lu Jinye really wanted to crack open Jiang Zao's head to see how this little girl's brain structure was assembled; she had so many novel and strange ideas.
Lu Jinye looked at the two signed contracts and said, "Okay, the crew will officially start filming in about three days."
Thinking of something, Lu Jinye continued, "Do you need any help with your studies?"
Jiang Zao shook her head: "No need, my grades are pretty good."
Lu Jinye nodded: "Alright, if you need it, I can tutor you. After all, filming shouldn't affect your college entrance exam."
After saying that, Lu Jinye despised himself. He had promised to stay away from that young girl!
But he seemed to be unable to hold back.
Jiang Zao's expression began to change, and Lu Jinye's heart was pounding. Had he made it too obvious and been found out?
Jiang Zao spoke up: "You're not thinking of getting your five million back by tutoring me, are you?!"
Lu Jinye's excited heart was suddenly chilled by a bucket of cold water.
Lu Jinye said with a helpless smile, "Don't worry, I won't take your money. I'm not so poor that I would covet a young girl's money."
Jiang Zao breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "That's good."
Lu Jinye was so angry at Jiang Zao's actions that he almost fainted.
He quickly waved his hand: "Go to your class!"
As Jiang Zao got up, she muttered to herself, "Old man, his temper is quite strange."
"Puff puff puff————"
It felt as if ten thousand arrows had pierced Lu Jinye's heart!
Old man!?
He's only 20! He's only two years older than her!
Lu Jinye sighed and calmed himself down. He then called Zhang Hao and the others in to continue discussing preparations for starting filming soon.
Jiang Zao also got busy, starting to prepare for her senior year monthly exam.
…………
Time flies, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the first day after Jiang Zao finished her exams, she got up as usual, got ready, and went to school to prepare for filming.
As soon as Jiang Zao arrived at the studio, Director Feng Jian came out and warmly invited her to sit down.
He began to carefully explain to Jiang Zao how to make a good movie and how to find good shots.
The story begins with a girl named Lin Yi. Her parents both passed away when she was in junior high school, but she always studied hard and was very beautiful.
However, her nightmare began in high school. A beautiful, academically gifted orphan with no parents, she was soon targeted by the school's bullies and scoundrels.
They then began bullying Lin Yi, not only leading the isolation of her but also subjecting her to various beatings and insults.
At first, Lin Yi would ask her teachers for help, but after repeatedly failing to get help, Lin Yi began to despair, and her grades plummeted.
By chance, a young police officer named Qin Ming was passing through a small alley when he stumbled upon Lin Yi, who was being beaten.
Qin Ming, dressed in a police uniform, appeared and scared a group of thugs into fleeing. Qin Ming saved Lin Yi this time.
But Lin Yi, already riddled with wounds, no longer easily trusts anyone.
However, the hot-blooded Qin Ming insisted on helping her, driving away the bad people in Lin Yi's life time and time again.
It became the last ray of sunshine in Lin Yi's life.
However, just when Lin Yi felt that the God of life had saved her and led her out of the mire.
Those disgusting villains reappeared and, taking advantage of Qin Ming's absence, maliciously destroyed Lin Yi, who had barely recovered from her shock.
In despair, Lin Yi ultimately chose to end her young life during her senior year of high school.
The moment Qin Ming arrived at the school, he saw Lin Yi, wearing her favorite white dress, jumping off the teaching building.
Qin Ming was devastated. The little lily he had always cherished had vanished and withered right before his eyes.
Even the murderers were behind the crowd, laughing at the scene, saying things like, "This is too ridiculous."
Qin Ming handled Lin Yi's funeral arrangements. Later, Qin Ming insisted on fighting a lawsuit for Lin Yi, wanting those murderers to pay the price.
The police had warned him countless times that many of the children came from powerful and influential families, and that ordinary people couldn't afford to offend officials.
Having seen through this corrupt system, Qin Ming resolutely resigned and left, constantly seeking justice for Lin Yi in various places.
