"It is said that 'Rescue Operation' is invested by Jianghua Group and Taichang Company. It is a big investment. The male lead is the Academy Award winner Liu Ye. Haven't you always wanted to enter the entertainment industry? Let's go to Shenzhuang to see you. You are so beautiful. Maybe you will be noticed by the director and be given a leading role."
Lu Baobao was very smart. To achieve his goal, he kept talking:
"Go ahead, go ahead. You have nothing to do anyway. Do you really want to study hard and make progress every day?"
She rolled her eyes and said it herself, obviously not believing it.
Jiang Se originally had poor academic performance and wanted to enter the entertainment industry after graduating from high school.
Jiang Se’s thoughts now are naturally different from the original owner’s, but the difficulty now is that even if she is admitted to university, she cannot afford the tuition.
When she was Feng Nan, she learned a lot, but after being reborn as Jiang Se, she couldn't learn anything.
Jiang Se had nothing good except for her face, but she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, become a big star and make a lot of money.
Jiang Se didn't dare to think about making a lot of money, but he could think of a way to make some money during the summer vacation.
"Please, go with me." Lu Baobao held Jiang Se's hand and shook it again. "This is a big production, and there are many stars." She touched her phone again. "Look, there are Lu Bingbing and Zhao Ruoyun, who are all popular young actresses. The male lead is Liu Ye, and the director is the famous Zhang Jing'an. Only with such appeal can the movie become popular before it is even filmed." She mentioned the various stars, her eyes lit up:
"The crew is so big, if we go, maybe we can get a minor role. If we're lucky, we might even get a photo with the movie star and ask for his autograph. Then our classmates will definitely envy us when we come back."
Jiang Se's attention was immediately drawn to what she called "extra role", "Extra role?"
"Yeah." Lu Baobao nodded, staring at his phone without moving away: "The crew is so big, we must need a few extras, right? If we can film with the stars, maybe we can be on TV!"
"How much can an extra earn?" Jiang Se had no interest in movie kings or celebrities, but she was short of money at the moment.
Lu Baobao opened her mouth, obviously she didn't know much about this question. She had never been a supporting role, but she didn't want to be looked down upon by Jiang Se. After thinking for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said:
"It should be around a hundred, right? It's a big production after all."
What she said was not very reliable, but Jiang Se thought about it and nodded: "Then let's go and have a look on Saturday."
After agreeing to Lu Baobao, Lu Baobao finally stopped bothering her.
In the math class, the teacher first wrote down how many days were left until the college entrance examination, and then started the lecture.
Jiang Se listened attentively for a while, and when she turned around to look at Lu Baobao inadvertently, she already looked like she was in a trance.
On Saturday morning, Jiang Se helped Zhou Hui prepare breakfast first. When Du Changqun climbed down from the attic with a cold face, he glanced at Jiang Se.
He was a salesperson at an electronics factory in the imperial capital. He had been working there for many years, but his career had not made much progress. He had to support a large group of people in the Du family with his meager salary.
Jiang Se is not his biological daughter, so naturally Du Changqun doesn't like Jiang Se very much.
Today is Saturday. Jiang Se has to get up early in the morning to help with work, but Du Honghong and Du You can sleep until they wake up naturally.
Zhou Hui brought the porridge into her mother-in-law's room to serve her. At the dinner table, Du Changqun lowered his head, took a big sip of porridge from the bowl, and put a piece of pickled vegetables into the bowl with chopsticks.
The Du family was not very particular and did not use serving chopsticks. When Jiang Se saw the rice grains stuck on his chopsticks, he lost his appetite.
The atmosphere was a little cold for a moment. Du Changqun chewed two bites of pickles and looked at his stepdaughter who was eating with her head down. Disgust flashed in his eyes:
"You are not young anymore." He suddenly said, "You are about to graduate from high school. When I was your age, I worked in a factory and earned 1,000 yuan a month to support my family."
After hearing this, Jiang Se slowly put down his chopsticks.
"You've seen the current situation at home. Honghong is about to take the high school entrance exam, and she's still waiting for your support as her sister for her tuition and living expenses." Du Changqun said this expressionlessly, and wiped his mouth with his hand:
"I asked our factory, and they are also looking to recruit female workers."
Jiang Se didn't say anything, and Du Changqun didn't wait for her to speak. He put on his bag and got up to go out.
Although it was Saturday, he did not rest. As soon as he left, Jiang Se turned around and saw Zhou Hui standing at the door of Du's mother with an empty bowl. Obviously, she had heard what Du Changqun had just said.
"What your uncle Du said makes sense. The situation at home..." Zhou Hui pulled the corner of her mouth, and Jiang Se held back: "If it was Honghong, would you let her drop out of school after graduating from high school?"
Zhou Hui reluctantly said: "Your grades are not good either..."
Jiang Se stood up and cleared the dishes on the table:
"I'm full. I've made an appointment with my classmates to go out."
Zhou Hui moved her lips, watched her take the bowl into the kitchen to wash it, and said nothing more.
When I came out of Du's house, I walked for more than ten minutes before I reached the bus stop.
She couldn't afford an air-conditioned bus, so on a hot day, she watched buses passing by. She waited for a long time until the bus station became less crowded, and finally a bus without air conditioning came.
She got on the bus. There were not many people in the car, so she chose a seat by the window and opened the window. The wind blowing in through the window while the car was moving at least brought some coolness.
Jiang Se had lived for twenty-four years, and this was the first time he experienced the meaning of the word "poor".
Lu Baobao's home is only four stops away from the Du family. Although the Lu family is not a wealthy family, their situation is much better than that of the Du family.
She knocked on the Lu family's door. Lu Baobao had been waiting for a long time. When he opened the door and saw that it was her, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you here just now?"
Baby Lu complained in a low voice: "I thought you were not coming, I was scared to death." She was holding a pen in her hand. Obviously, before Jiang Se came over, she was forced by her parents to do her homework.
Jiang Se pulled the corner of his mouth, sweating profusely as he climbed the stairs:
"Something happened at home."
Baby Lu pouted and asked her to wait for a while. After a while, he returned to his room, grabbed a small bag and shouted to his parents in the living room:
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to the library with my classmates to look up some information. I won't be back for lunch, so don't wait for me."
Without waiting for her parents to respond, she pulled Jiang Se and whispered:
"Go, go."
After going downstairs, Mother Lu was still on the balcony shouting at Baby Lu: "Come back early in the evening."
Lu Baobao waved his hand, and the two ran away. Lu Baobao became a little excited:
“It finally came out.”
It's a long way to get to Shenzhuang. Although it's in the suburbs of the imperial capital, it still takes more than an hour to get there by car. (To be continued)
