Chapter 64: A Small Gift

Bang!

The atmosphere in the nanny van was stifling. Jiang Lu slammed the door and gritted her teeth indignantly, complaining about Director Zheng’s inflexibility.

She dialed Yan Zhang’s number and heard his somewhat impatient voice. She acted coquettishly and said, “I got scolded by the production team!”

“They clearly know that I’m a Swallowtail celebrity, so they won’t give me any face!

“Jiang Zhi is just a small manager of Star Glory. She brought along an unrated 18th-tier rookie. What right does she have to be favored by him?

“Director Zheng said that he wants to file a claim with Swallowtail! It’s obvious that he wants to stand up for Jiang Zhi. He’s insulting you!”

Jiang Lu deliberately shifted the topic to Yan Zhang and Jiang Zhi. As expected, she heard him slam the table angrily and roar, “This guy! Just because he shot a few award-winning movies, he can do whatever he wants in the entertainment industry? Don’t worry, I’ll teach him a lesson for you!”

…

On the set, Jiang Zhi packed her backpack and prepared to rush to Wu Dai’s filming location.

Lu Mian came in from outside and blocked her way. He gently circled her hair and sniffed the tip of her nose. His blue pupils seemed to be able to suck her in. He whispered, “Going to deal with Wu Dai’s matter again?

“Boss, are you not satisfied with my recent performance? Why won’t you give me some attention?”

Lu Mian deliberately moved closer to her ear and tickled her with his warm breath, which made her tremble. She gently put her hands on his shoulders.

Jiang Zhi frowned and paid attention to the time. Her fingertips gently touched his Adam’s apple. Seeing his constricted pupils and tight muscles, she said, “I only see him during the day, and you can… take your time with me.”

Lu Mian’s eyes were filled with joy. Sensing the change in Jiang Zhi’s attitude towards him, he kissed her lips fiercely.

With the touch of their tongues, their breaths blended together and gradually became entangled. The intimacy between them surged until Jiang Zhi saw that the hands of the clock had moved to the hour. She pushed Lu Mian away and said, “I’m getting late!”

Lu Mian was reluctant to put his hand on her forehead. He took out a recording pen from his pocket and handed it to her.

Jiang Zhi was puzzled. Lu Mian held her hand and pressed the play button…

The conversation between Jiang Lu and Director Zheng continued to play. The sharp voice pierced through the audio and stimulated the eardrums of the listeners, causing them to frown and feel annoyed and disgusted.

“Jiang Lu would definitely not let this go. If she wants to use this matter to mess with you, we should at least keep some evidence so that we can give her a strong counterattack when necessary.

“This is a small gift for you. What do you think? Do you like it?”

Lu Mian stared into Jiang Zhi’s eyes while she tiptoed and put her arms around his neck and kissed him gently. “That’s my answer!”

“It seems that I’ll have to prepare some surprises in the future!”

Lu Mian rubbed his thin lips with his fingertips and recalled Jiang Zhi’s touch. He watched her drive away with a smile in his eyes.

..

“How’s the situation?”

The shooting location for the advertisement was in the suburbs. Jiang Zhi stopped the car and looked at Xie Yun, who had been waiting for her for a long time as she walked into the studio.

Wu Dai was so nervous that he had lost all color in his face. He did not know where to look. Even though he had memorized the words of the advertisement extremely well, he could not say a single word in front of the red light camera.

Jiang Zhi recalled his interview answer in her previous life and knew that it was because he had yet to overcome the difficulties in his heart.

“Director, can I speak to him for a moment?”

Jiang Zhi waved his hand and called Wu Dai to a corner. Looking at him apologizing repeatedly, he said softly, “Don’t be afraid.

“They can give you as many takes as you need. I will inform the director and give you a few days to get used to it.

“You don’t have to think about the thousands of viewers behind the camera and focus on your lines and roles. As an actor, your duty and mission is to experience different lives. You have to show each and every one of them in front of the audience with their identity, not Wu Dai.

“Do you understand what I mean?”

Jiang Zhi guided him mentally. Wu Dai took a deep breath and finally found some confidence.

The director turned on the camera again. He clearly felt that his condition had improved. Xie Yun was also surprised and said in admiration, “Amazing!”

“Ha, what’s amazing about it? They’ve been shooting this for two whole days and barely have anything.”

Jiang Lu was shooting a new commercial in the next studio when she happened to bump into Jiang Zhi. She walked over and said provocatively to her with contempt in her eyes, “You haven’t seen the world and treat trash as a treasure! How pitiful…”

Jiang Lu said to Wu Dai, “Hey, do you know how to act?”

Seeing Wu Dai’s confidence slowly fading again, Jiang Zhi frowned and looked at the woman who was running around in all directions. She coldly asked the staff next to her, “Can people enter our studio as they please? Are we going to chase away the irrelevant people?”
