A trace of unease flashed in Wen Ning's eyes, her fingers were unconsciously digging on the seat belt, but on the surface she pretended to be indifferent.
"It's okay, don't worry about me, you can take it."
Zhou Ziheng already knew about her divorce from Jiang Shu.
He tilted his head and glanced at her, and then through the rearview mirror, he glanced at the man wearing a black trench coat outside the residential building not far behind the car, who was staring at his car, and suddenly laughed.
Emotionally, the little girl beside him really thought that Jiang Shu was calling him.
Naturally, Wen Ning would not know or think that the man who was stomped by her in the bar last night would follow her all the way here, and even stay outside her window all night.
Zhou Ziheng hung up before he answered the phone.
Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what she was nervous about.
"Don't be nervous." Zhou Ziheng started the car freely, deliberately softening the atmosphere and letting her relax, "I expected to answer the phone and tell President Jiang a little bit about our whereabouts for a while, maybe I can call him for sponsorship."
The Jiang family has a big business, and a little money can bring a crew back to life. It's hard not to be popular.
After Zhou Ziheng finished speaking, he brought the topic back to the main business: "I will take you to the gate of the studio in a while, and a staff member will come to pick you up. You follow her. Today, she will arrange it all day, and I will not go in."
It's true, as Zhou Ziheng is in his early thirties but has won numerous awards as a famous director, it is impossible for anyone in the crew not to know him. Wen Ning has only been here on the first day, so he airborne in such a grand and high-profile manner. develop.
She now owes Jiang Shu a lot of debt. If she wants to pay it off quickly, she has to work hard to earn it. She works two or three jobs a day, works in a western restaurant during the day, and distributes flyers during lunch breaks or temporarily stands for others. , The shops are closed everywhere at night, so she can only go to the bar that sings all night to make a living.
Almost every day I open my eyes and turn around.
A few days ago, I happened to meet Zhou Ziheng in a western restaurant. Zhou Ziheng always felt that it was a pity to put her in the restaurant and serve dishes because of her temperament. Because of the previous relationship, he wanted to help her, so he mentioned acting to her again. matter.
At the beginning, Wen Ning refused. At that time, he felt that he had not learned acting and was incompetent. More importantly, he was afraid that Jiang Shu would not like it. He always hoped that she would stay at home and wait for him, and did not like her to go out and show her face.
Looking back on it now, it's ridiculous. For the sake of a man, I wiped out the value I might have, but in the end I got nothing.
Later, she thought about it many times, some love can be obtained by not compromising, and not loving is not loving.
Zhou Ziheng seems to be aware of her other concerns: "Don't worry if you haven't studied acting, you are young, and it's possible to retrain after taking the serious exam. Everything has a beginning and a try."
He called up a biography of the characters in the script excerpt from his mobile phone, zoomed in and pushed it in front of her: "Recently, a friend was filming a Qing palace drama, with a small budget and a small production, and there happened to be a soy sauce character who hasn't found a candidate yet, I think you It’s quite suitable, you might as well try it and experience it.”
This is another unknown world for Nuan, and I have to say that she is a little curious and a little moved: "Is it really just soy sauce?"
Zhou Ziheng chuckled and laughed: "I can't beat it anymore, I can open a soy sauce shop."
"If you want, I'll contact my friend and come back to take you to the studio next time, and I'll give you a daily paycheck."
Wen Ning opened her eyes: "Is there still a paycheck?"
"What do you think? Give it away for charity?" Zhou Ziheng smiled helplessly and shook his head.
The feng shui turns, Jiang Shu's evil capitalist from beginning to end is actually planted on this philanthropist in the end.
**
Zhou Ziheng is quite principled in what he does. Introducing Wen Ning's role is not entirely out of selfishness and favoritism, but more because it is suitable. Before coming, he gave her a vaccination: "I will only introduce you this time. In the past, the rest did not explain much, the people on the set may not take good care of you, you probably need to adapt and adjust your mentality."
The entertainment industry is a mixed bag. It is a huge dye vat, and it is filled with people who have been in Vanity Fair for a long time. Except for forcing a backstage label, it is impossible to enjoy preferential treatment and privileges as soon as you enter the industry.
Obviously, Wen Ning's decision to divorce Jiang Shu shows her choice.
Jiang's Group President's Office.
Ren Tiangao respectfully reported at the desk: "Miss Wen this morning—"
As soon as Jiang Shu heard the title, he looked up at him lazily.
Ren Tiangao licked his lips calmly, and immediately changed his words: "This morning, Director Zhou sent his wife to the imitation Qing Dynasty Film and Television City in the west of the city. There is a small-cost Qing palace drama being filmed, and his wife is participating in a palace maid. Today is the first time. Go to the set once."
Jiang Shu lightly said "um": "First prepare a breakfast for everyone in the crew and send it over, you can arrange it."
Ren Tiangao: "Okay, Mr. Jiang, you have a meeting at ten o'clock later, the materials—"
Jiang Shu's pen forcefully signed his name at the place where the document was signed, and then said, "All the morning's itinerary will be pushed back, and I will go to Chengxi Film and Television City with me later to bring a pen to invest for their producers."
"OK."
Wen Ning arrived on the set at the appointed time that day. After being picked up, she didn't even start to do anything, so she arranged to have a hot breakfast inexplicably, then changed her clothes, put on makeup, and sat on the side. The wait is two hours.
Waiting is the most exhausting, and some actors who are almost patient can only pass the time on their mobile phones. However, for Wen Ning, compared to the past in a small village, being beaten and scolded by her aunt and hurt and unable to eat enough to eat, she has to take care of the housework. In other words, it's just paid vacation.
Her role is small, but due to the setting, the amount of lines is very large.
Although she was treated harshly by her aunt in the past and had few opportunities to read, she was not stupid and memorized things very quickly. While waiting, she had memorized all the lines on a few pages of paper with ease.
"Card, pass, next one."
"Very well, words can be spoken a little slower, yes, that's the speed."
Wen Ning made almost no mistakes in several scenes in a row. Sometimes the director could do it with just one click. The actors cooperated quite tacitly and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The director is an informal person. After finishing work at noon for dinner, he nibbled a chicken leg in front of Wen Ning: "First time acting?"
Wen Ning nodded.
"Okay, yes, very smart, it's the first time to be able to act like this, it's very good, eat and eat."
During the lunch time, the little actor who played the palace maid with Wen Ning just now ran over to her side: "You are really amazing, I was scolded bloody when I first came, and this is the first time I have been scolded like that since I was a child. No matter how you act, you can't make it through."
"I tell you secretly, my father bought my character for me with money. I originally wanted to buy your character, but I spent all my money. Wouldn't it be better to pick a lot of lines? Later, when I saw it, I felt No, there are too many words! I can't memorize them."
The little actor poked at the dishes in the box lunch while talking, with a moved face: "Oh my god, I haven't eaten such a sumptuous dish for many days in the group. Sure enough, the father of the gold master came to sprinkle money, and the treatment is different. , put it a few days ago, how can we see beef short ribs and cheese baked scallops in the box lunch of our little poor crew, I am now announcing that President Jiang has replaced the position of fresh meat of all sizes in my heart , the number one male god! Do not accept refutation!"
Wen Ning was startled, and the chopsticks in his hand made a mark on the lunch box: "President Jiang?"
"Well, you don't know. I heard that President Jiang invested a lot of money in our crew in the morning. Oh, but it's not trivial for his net worth. Well, in the attic on the second floor, look." The young actor Yang He raised his chin and said, "Mr. Jiang came over in person in the morning to watch us film several scenes, but you probably didn't notice that it happened to be when you were speaking your lines."
Wen Ning subconsciously looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw Jiang Shu standing at the fence of the second floor attic, surrounded by a group of producers and directors, but looked downstairs lazily, as if intentionally or unintentionally... Sweep her way.
Wen Ning immediately retracted her gaze and was busy eating. The little actress cooked herself, and chopsticks picked delicious food from her lunch box: "Oh my god, Ning Ning, you are so lucky, I don't have a lot of delicious food in your box. , I thought I had enough for this box..."
**
Jiang Shu silently watched Wen Ning finish his meal in the attic and left.
In the evening, there was a brother's wedding banquet in Linshi, and it was almost evening when Ren Tiangao took him to the hotel.
The wedding was very Western-style, and Jiang Shu was late, but no matter where he went, it was easy to overwhelm guests and become the real focus of the whole ceremony.
But in the end, it is a brother who has a strong friendship. Growing up together since childhood, this kind of thing has long been accustomed to.
The newlyweds were toasting at the table, and many people politely praised the beauty of the bride.
When he got to Jiang Shu's table, the conversation changed and he always surrounded him.
After all, the farce when he got married was a sensation in the circle, and Wen Ning, whose veil was lifted by the wind, was truly so beautiful that it made people feel thrilling.
Someone seemed to be drinking too much, so he stirred up a topic and asked, "Mr. Jiang, why didn't you bring your wife out with you? For weddings, those who have families and rooms come in pairs."
The other sober people around held their breaths. Everyone knew Jiang Shu's reckless behavior. Even at his own wedding, he never made a pair. Obviously, he didn't value or dissatisfied with the one in the family, but he usually didn't. People dare to take it to the table and say it.
But never thought that the cold and thin man suddenly evoked a faint smile, with a little helpless indulgence in his smile: "Ningning is at home, I made her unhappy a few days ago, and I got angry with me. I don't want to accompany me out today, I'll bring it out to meet you next time."
Yo, the nickname is so intimate that there is no such thing as the rumored relationship between husband and wife.
When everyone heard the pampering tone in his smile, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Some people joked: "There are still people who dare to get angry with our President Jiang. I have lived for a long time, and I can see everything."
He Cheng, who knew everything, stood beside him, and couldn't help sighing in his heart that his sister-in-law was worthy of being a sister-in-law, and the marriage was divorced.
I have never seen Jiang Shu's gentle and indulgent appearance before, saying that people take the tea to cool, but now he has the attitude of brother, when people leave, the tea must be warmed for her.
The Empress of the Palace is the Empress of the Palace.

In the evening, Jiang Shu returned to Hancheng quite early. Originally, everyone wanted to have a drink and play cards. When he got up and left, many people dared to joke: "Don't stay with President Jiang, they have to go home and accompany their daughter-in-law to pay public food. ."
Jiang Shu chuckled lightly, he really hoped that he would have a wife to accompany him, and that he would have to hand over public food.
As soon as the car stopped in front of Yuganwan, he walked upstairs quickly, rummaged in the cloakroom for a long time, and finally found the wedding dress that the little girl wore when he and Wen Ning got married that day in a small box.
This beautiful wedding dress is supposed to be a testimony of happiness between lovers, but in the end it only witnessed absurdity and farce.
He sat lazily on the ground, holding the wedding dress and sniffing lightly. Later, he really missed her, so he went downstairs and came to Wen Ning's house to sit and smoke.
When the little girl came home at night, she found that the dark corridor had been shrouded in light, so she no longer had to worry about not being able to see clearly when she climbed the stairs, and she didn't have to be afraid of the dark.
Jiang Shu stood in front of her window, watching her enter the door and turn on the light, put down her bag and boil the noodles.
This is probably her dinner. The little girl eats sparingly, breaking a pack of instant noodles in half.
The simple environment and the insufficient dinner, but still can't see any dissatisfaction and complaints on this girl's face, she is still smiling.
In fact, she has always been easy to satisfy, but he could let such an easy-to-satisfy girl save enough and leave.
After eating, the little girl sat on the bed with the book obediently and read it.
Jiang Shuan watched her quietly for a while, but finally resisted not disturbing her. He only called a nearby hotel to order dinner, and then asked the landlord who lived downstairs to deliver it to her upstairs.
**
Back at Yuganwan in the evening, Jiang Mengmeng was in the living room holding her mobile phone and talking.
Jiang Shu didn't care what she was doing at first, but after listening to a few words at random, the voice on the other end of the voice was very warm.
"Who are you talking to?"
Jiang Mengmeng was startled, and the voice was only halfway recorded before she sent it out: "Brother, you scared me!"
"I'll ask you something."
Jiang Mengmeng explained honestly: "Ningning, she got paid today and finally bought a working mobile phone. I even taught her to use WeChat."
Jiang Shu looked at her calmly.
Jiang Mengmeng was a little complacent: "Brother, Ningning didn't add your WeChat?"
Jiang Shu: "..."
Jiang Mengmeng: "Hey, don't be discouraged—"
Jiang Shu: "Push her number to me, and you say it's your friend who wants to add it."
Jiang Mengmeng immediately put on a note: "That's not very good..." She said as she stretched out her hand to Jiang Shu.
The man did not frown, and casually threw two cards in her palm.
Jiang Mengmeng immediately pushed WeChat to him without saying a word, and said in Wen Ning's place that she was her friend.
When Jiang Shu came out of the shower, the WeChat friend application finally passed.
The little girl also politely sent "Hello."
Jiang Shu was itching, and wanted to tell her that he was not well.
Wen Ning: "You are Mengmeng's friend, right? I'm not very good at using WeChat, please bear with me."
Jiang Shu replied, "It's okay, it's cute."
The man clicked on her circle of friends and thought it was empty, but he didn't expect a photo.
However, in the photo, a man and a woman stood together in Qing palace drama costumes, and the girl still had a sweet smile on her face. Jiang Shu's face sank instantly, and the joy of his friends who had just passed WeChat disappeared in an instant, replaced by strong jealousy. .
What does it mean when two people are so close to take a picture
He saved the picture and sent it to Wen Ning, pretending to be unfamiliar and asking, "Is this you? Very beautiful, who is the person next to him?"
Wen Ning replied politely, "Wu Chengye."
Mengmeng just saw the photo and told her that this person is very popular recently, and almost no one in Hancheng does not know him.
Jiang Shu vaguely remembered that there was an endorsement under the Jiang family that was won by this one. It was said to be quite popular, but the jealousy in his heart became more and more intense: "Who is Wu Chengye? Is it a descendant of Wu Dalang?"
Wen Ning was stunned for a second: "It's the actor who collaborated in the filming this afternoon."
Jiang Shu said with a sullen face: "Oh, it's not very hot."
Wen Ning didn't know what to reply, but Jiang Shu sent another message: "I saw your video on the Internet before, wrestling on the ice road to buy a birthday gift for my boyfriend? The Internet said that your boyfriend is President Jiang, you and Mengmeng is so familiar again, is it true?"
After Jiang Shu finished speaking, he added another sentence: "How can you say that you know her brother very well? I feel that you and that President Jiang seem to be a good match."
Wen Ning was stunned for a long time before replying to him: "I don't know, I don't know."
The author has something to say: President Jiang: I think you and President Jiang seem to be a good match.
Ningning: I feel that you are creating something out of nothing. Chen Cang is speechless and hopeless.
