Chapter 26: What Kind Of Hobby Is This? Pervert!

 

Jiang Ke'er had prepared a lot to say, wanting to vent out today, preferably to see Shen Qingzhi lose her composure.

But who would have thought that Shen Qingzhi was not only in a dissociative state the whole time, but also asked her to "pause for a while" because of an unknown message.

What's even more frustrating is that she obediently stopped. Can demonstrations like this be paused? All her emotions have been disrupted!

After Shen Qingzhi finished replying to the message, she looked up and saw Jiang Ke'er who was full of confusion, with a slight smile on her face, and asked politely, "Is there anything else you want?"

"It's nothing." At this moment, Jiang Ke'er's expression was as if she had just swallowed a fly. When Shen Qingzhi asked her to "make way" again, she couldn't find any reason to continue blocking the door.

Although Shen Qingzhi encountered some minor frictions during work today, her overall mood was still good.

Upon returning home, she received another pleasant piece of news: her audition for the drama "Divine Beings" was successful in the morning.

In fact, during the audition at the set in the daytime, Director Xue already had a plan in mind.

Initially, she was somewhat prejudiced when she learned that the person coming in was a non-professionally trained starlet who had only acted in web dramas.

However, these preconceived notions quickly vanished upon meeting Shen Qingzhi in person.

This little girl is not only beautiful and recognizable, but also full of aura.

During the audition, Director Xue didn't give the actors specific scenes to perform; instead, she asked them to imitate anything they were interested in, and all actions and scenarios were completely random.

Most actors are afraid of facing such "random" tasks because they require no preparation.

However, when Shen Qingzhi heard this topic, she was instantly delighted. To her, this wasn't an exam at all; it was just like her favorite childhood game.

Back then, she had never thought of becoming an actress, but she was mischievous and loved imitating all sorts of peculiar things just for fun.

In order to make her imitations realistic and truly frightening, she had put in a lot of effort.

Not to mention playing as cute animals like cats and dogs, she could effortlessly portray ghosts and deities too.

At the beginning of her audition, Shen Qingzhi decided to hold back a bit and portrayed herself as a hunting dog targeting its prey.

With all four limbs on the ground, her gaze was intense like a torch. Calculating her moves, she moved forward with a bowed back and pounced suddenly, appearing just like a well-trained hunting dog with years of experience.

Director Xue couldn't help but be amazed in her heart: I didn't expect this beautiful young girl to have no traces of an idol burden. Ithought she might choose to portray cute cats or rabbits, but she unexpectedly chose such a fierce hunting dog.

The natural instinct emanating from her was an effect that many people couldn't achieve no matter how much they learned and trained.

After Shen Qingzhi's performance ended, she received great encouragement from Director Xue's admiring gaze.

In her second performance, she began to let her imagination run wild and portrayed someone performing a shamanistic dance.

She made a simple mask using A4 paper and tape, covering her face, leaving only her eyes visible. Her light golden hair was completely disheveled, and she held two paper tubes while jumping around, giving a convincing and somewhat eerie impression of a Jumping deity.

Even Director Xue at the scene was startled.

When she was a child, she pretended to be a ghost, but she scared and made her friends cry.

Director Xue finally managed to calm down her startled heart, watching Shen Qingzhi there, muttering incantations, thinking deeply.

In the drama, there is indeed a powerful scene where the character Feng Yasong plays the role of a divine messenger, which requires this kind of imposing presence that can scare everyone.

Could it be that Gu Jinrong revealed the script to this little girl in advance?

No, Gu Jinrong doesn't have such a detailed script at the moment.

At that time, Director Xue felt that she had found a treasure, and wanted to confirm the person immediately.

But due to the production process, she calmly asked her to go back and wait for the news.

Having said that, the undisguised appreciation in those eyes gave Shen Qingzhi great confidence.

When Shen Qingzhi returned home, she was very happy to learn that the matter had been settled so quickly, but she was not surprised.

At this moment, she was holding her phone, preparing to share the good news with her manager, Song Ling.

This job offer came in at the last minute, and to avoid getting Song Ling excited prematurely, she didn't inform her right away yesterday.

However, she didn't expect the "Divine Beings" production team to work so efficiently. They sent the invitation one day and finalized the audition on the next day.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she took on the job in private, but she believed that Song Ling would not blame her if she knew about it.

Song Ling was still in the company when the phone rang.

In this circle, gossip spreads the fastest. What happened to Shen Qingzhi when she was filming at the magazine office in the afternoon reached her ears before the evening.

While feeling sorry for Shen Qingzhi who has suffered a lot of grievances recently, she is also relieved that she has really grown a lot.

 

So when it was time for dinner, she was still working overtime in the office, hoping to find some better resources for Shen Qingzhi to make up for her recent grievances.

When she heard the "shocking good news" reported by Shen Qingzhi, her first reaction was not happiness, but worry.

"Qingzhi, I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately and have faced some grievances. But when it's time to rest, make sure to rest well, and when it's time to work, focus on your job. Don't let your mind wander."

Shen Qingzhi: ?

Ling-jie, I'm not letting my mind wander. I am earnestly reporting my work to you.

Song Ling let out a long sigh when she heard her words so firmly.

"Qingzhi, I know that many little flowers want to be in Movie Queen Gu's new drama, and I can understand your feelings.

"How about this, I'll put my face on the line and use my connection to recommend  you."

"Maybe they'll give you a chance since you are from the same school.

"However, don't expect too much, let alone talk about this nonsense to others, making people laugh."

Shen Qingzhi is usually lighthearted and has a habit of making jokes, so her credibility is not very high in Song Ling's eyes.

Now she feels frustrated, thinking: It's fine if you don't believe me when I'm joking around, but why won't you believe me when it comes to serious matters?

In a fit of anger, she threw her phone to someone nearby who was eavesdropping, saying, "Gu Jinrong, you say it."

Song Ling laughed, "Qingzhi, I'm still working overtime now, don't pretend to be me..."

"Hello, I'm Gu Jinrong."

A cool and elegant voice came from the other end of the phone. Song Ling was stunned for several seconds before confirming that the voice could not be synthesized.

"Gu... Queen Gu, is Qingzhi with you? She didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

Even Song Ling, who has worked in the entertainment industry for nearly ten years, is still a little nervous about suddenly talking on the phone with an international actress who can only be seen on the Internet.

"Qingqing is quite obedient. I want to invite her to be the female lead of a new drama. Will that be okay?

This time Song Ling couldn't believe it, and she couldn't tell what mood she was in at the moment, her mouth was faster than her thoughts.

"No objection, of course I have no objection, if you chose Qingzhi, it is my child's good fortune.

"After that, let her study with you, and be as strict as you want.

"Also, if there's anything you need our company's cooperation with, feel free to ask."

The two of them continued to exchange pleasantries on the phone, and as the person involved, Shen Qingzhi felt quite uneasy listening to it.

Isn't it just for me to go and film a drama? Why does Sister Ling make it sound like she's arranging an adoption?"

As Gu Jinrong finished the phone call, she hung up and glanced at Shen Qingzhi, who was standing nearby with a disapproving look on her face, while Gu Jinrong's smile was full of delight.

"Your manager entrusted you to me, letting me take good care of you."

Now that the call has ended, Shen Qingzhi felt more confident and retorted, "Don't treat a chicken feather as an arrow". I'm an adult, and I can take care of myself."

*don't assume you've become powerful because of a trivial matter

"Can you take care of yourself?" Gu Jinrong's voice was already close, and her fair fingers lifted Shen Qingzhi's small and pointed chin.

"You didn't eat properly at noon, your face looks thinner."

Shen Qingzhi blushed slightly: How dare this black-hearted person tease me? Can she really tell that I didn't eat properly just from my face?

She never allowed herself to be taken advantage of, so she immediately bit down on that mischievous fingertip, but when it came to actually biting, she softened and eased the pressure.

So this moderate bite, not only failed to retaliate, but felt like a kitten scratching, soft and ticklish.

As Gu Jinrong looked at Shen Qingzhi's delicate lips, her gaze flickered.

Shen Qingzhi had originally wanted to teach a lesson to the mischievous person who teased her, but she didn't expect the atmosphere to become somewhat ambiguous.

She was about to withdraw and pretend nothing happened, but Gu Jinrong held onto her waist.

"Qingqing, bite again."

Shen Qingzhi: ?

What kind of fetish is this, pervert!

She was not an obedient person to begin with, and if the wicked person wanted her to bite, she wouldn't do it.

So, she deliberately closed her mouth and puffed up her face, like a goldfish.

Seeing her like this, Gu Jinrong no longer insisted and mischievously poked the puffed-up cheek with her finger, deflating the goldfish.

Shen Qingzhi was very angry, but at this moment, she couldn't retaliate by biting again, or she would just play right into the wicked person's hands.

So, she could only force herself to appear calm, turned her head away, and walked towards the dining hall, saying: "I'm starving. Where's my Yangzhou fried rice?"

It was close to 7 o'clock in the evening, a bit late snacks, and a bit early for supper.

Gu Jinrong reheated the fried rice that had been prepared in the pot for a while, served it with sea cucumber soup, and started a pleasant feeding journey.

During the day, Shen Qingzhi auditioned for a role and shot magazines, so she really didn't have a proper meal.

There are no outsiders in the family at the moment, and she doesn't have to worry about any idol burden.

She scooped up spoonfuls of the golden rice, mixed with ham and shrimp, and stuffed her mouth full, savoring the deliciousness.

Shen Qingzhi was so hungry that she swallowed half of a large plate of fried rice in a short while, and it was only when she sat up to drink the soup that she realized that the plate of rice in front of Gu Jinrong's table hadn't moved.

The woman just kept staring at her, smiling terribly.

She swallowed the food in her mouth and said impatiently, "Why are you staring at me while I eat? Are you satisfied just by watching?"

Gu Jinrong blinked her coquettish eyes, as if she didn't understand the sarcasm in the words, her beautiful thin lips parted slightly, "Satisfied."

She didn't wait for Shen Qingzhi to fight back, she naturally confided in her heart, "Qingqing, if I stop acting in the future and open a restaurant, can you advertise for me?"

Shen Qingzhi: ?

What is this? Why is this person's thinking jumping so much?

She raised her head and was about to laugh at her, but she saw that Gu Jinrong was looking at her very seriously, and when the words came to her lips, she became arrogant.

"If you want to change careers, you have to hurry up, otherwise, when I become a superstar in the future, I will be worth a lot, and I won't give you a discount."

After hearing this, Gu Jinrong laughed happily, leaned close to her head and coaxed in a low voice.

"But I can't switch careers right away now. So, can our future superstar be paid in installments? How long can we divide the payments, as long as possible?"

Shen Qingzhi:...

How could this person make such a fresh and refined statement about wanting to default a payment?
