Chapter 60 - Do You Know Any Powerful Officials in Finance (2/2)

“Director w.a.n.g, thank you for this opportunity. I will give my all,” Her pair of beautiful eyes were twinkling with excitement and gratefulness tears.

“I have confidence in you, and also in Street Walker. Yeah, Ning Qing, you need your own a.s.sistant when you film a movie. Do you have any suitable person in your mind?”

Ning Qing thought of Xiao Zhou, “Yes.”

“Alright then. Bring your a.s.sistant, the entire crew will gather in the bar tonight. We shall start filming in two days.”

…

In the bar

Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou speak together as they each held a c.o.c.ktail gla.s.s. Xiao Zhou said in excitement emotionally, “Ning Qing, that’s great. You finally have the chance. When you called me, I immediately quit my job. Don’t worry. I will be your best, most caring a.s.sistant.”

Ning Qing knew that she couldn’t really drink. She was worried that she would be drunk so she only took a sip on her c.o.c.ktail. “Xiao Zhou, we’ll work hard together in the future. Our life just reached smooth sailing.”

“Alright,” Xiao Zhou chugged her gla.s.s of drink.

Xiao Zhou pushed Ning Qing curiously as she asked softly, “Ning Qing, be honest with me, are you in any way connected to Director w.a.n.g?”

“Why do you ask?”

Xiao Zhou put down the wine bottle and blinked, “Ning Qing, do you really not know? Before Director w.a.n.g’s Street Walker starts filming, there were news leaks in the entertainment circle. Do you know how many big shots wanted to partic.i.p.ate? For instance, the next-gen G.o.ddess, Xia Xiaofu, her a.s.sistant got in touch with Director w.a.n.g long ago. But you eliminated her and took the role. I don’t think you didn’t take any measure.”

Hearing Xia Xiaofu’s name, Ning Qing’s eyes shot open. Xia Xiaofu is the daughter of the Xia family. She starred in an immortal heroes drama when she was sixteen and she got really famous.

For the past few years, she was dressed in maxi dresses with wavy long hair. Her image was mysterious yet elegant. Hence, her name of “National G.o.ddess”.

Ning Qing met her once at a ball. Xia Xiaofu was refined and remarkable in an artistic manner. She definitely lives up to her name of “G.o.ddess”.

Ning Qing liked her a lot.

“I eliminated Xia Xiaofu?” Ning Qing was confused. Although she believed in her capability, why did Director w.a.n.g invite her for a screen test? ” Xiao Zhou, I really didn’t take any unique measure. If I did, I would definitely tell you.”

Xiao Zhou looked at Ning Qing and she didn’t look like she was lying. So, she said, “Then, besides Director w.a.n.g, did you get to know any powerful officials in finance? Huge merchants?”

Ning Qing then thought of Lu Shaoming.

But she quickly denied anything. She just got married to Lu Shaoming the day before. If it was really him, it happened before they got married.

They only met four times before their marriage, how many men were willing to spend so much time and effort for a woman that he only met four times? To help her in her career?

Plus, he never brought it up.

“Xiao Zhou, stop making wild guesses. We only need to do well in the movie. Director w.a.n.g said that capable people speak with their final products.”

“Mm,” Xiao Zhou nodded. The chance had arrived and they only need to grab it.

“Oh yeah, Xiao Zhou, do you know about Ou Luo Xi?” Ning Qing asked.

“Not much. Ou Luo Xi started his career three years ago and he was quite low profile. Besides acting, he never joins any talk show or banquet. His a.s.sistant takes full control to talk to the media too. Oh, yeah, Ning Qing, Ou Luo Xi is the second son of T City’s Ou family. The Ou family and T City’s mayor Zhou family are old family friends.”

Ning Qing nodded but she wasn’t interested in the Ou family or Zhou family that she was talking about.

She got up, “Xiao Zhou, I’m going to the washroom.”

…

Ning Qing walked out from the washroom and walked along the corridor. She didn’t drink much but her face was red so she touched her cheeks with her hands that were wet with the cold tap water.

There was a person who walked before her.

Ning Qing’s heart ached. They came into an unavoidable confrontation. It was Xu Junxi.

Xu Junxi saw her too. His originally calm eyes were suddenly covered in a haze. He glared at Ning Qing then he turned around. He walked past Ning Qing expressionlessly.

Ning Qing was more than happy with his action. They shall be silent strangers.

She walked past Xu Junxi, turned at the corner. But then, there was a sudden breeze and someone held Ning Qing’s wrist.

Xu Junxi tugged and Ning Qing’s back hit the cold wall. She felt hurt and suddenly his body appeared before her.

Ning Qing rolled her eyes impatiently and at the same time, there was anger that soared in her. The more angry she was, the calmer her expression was, “What do you want?”

Xu Junxi watched her expression and he smirked as he said, “Why? You want to pretend that we don’t know each other?”

“Do we know each other?”Ning Qing asked in reply.

Xu Junxi’s face grew grave. He looked at her face which was rosy because she drank and her cherry lips were red like as though masked in lipstick.

He recalled the scene where Ou Luo Xi bit her in the studio. He gulped and his Adam’s apple rolled. At the same time, he exerted strength in his palm and gripped her wrist.

She didn’t know him but she could kiss a total stranger.

“Let go, you’re hurting me!” Ning Qing creased her eyebrows because of his rude actions but she spoke calmly.

Xu Junxi pretended not to hear and he wasn’t willing to let go.

“Ning Tao, you came,” Ning Qing looked behind him and said.
