Chapter 442 - 439: Movie Queen 6
Zheng Mingjing smiled very politely at Bai Qiao Xin, but his refusal was straightforward and crisp, "I’m really sorry, there are currently no roles suitable for you in my crew. If you enjoy acting, you could try joining other crews in the film city for small roles. It’s quite easy to get into acting these days; you don’t necessarily have to come to my crew."
Zheng Mingjing’s rejection made Bai Qiao Xin’s face turn from blue to white, looking quite displeased. She certainly knew that it was easy to become a bit actor nowadays, but if she was willing to play small roles, she wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to approach him!
Even though Zheng Mingjing rejected her plainly, Bai Qiao Xin still didn’t want to give up. She continued to smile, saying, "But you’re the director I admire the most. I just want to act in your crew, I’m not familiar with those directors. It wouldn’t hurt to assign me a minor role in your crew."
Zheng Mingjing frowned slightly; he didn’t expect Bai Qiao Xin to be so tactless, bothering him after hearing his refusal. Although he’s not a star, he’s still a public figure, so he couldn’t treat Bai Qiao Xin too harshly, in case someone captured their interaction and posted it online.
"There are no roles for you in my crew now. If you’re really eager to act in my crew, just come to audition next time I’m filming." This was a delaying tactic; he wasn’t even certain where the next filming would take place.
After being rejected by Zheng Mingjing repeatedly, even Bai Qiao Xin with her thick skin couldn’t sit still. She tried to hold back but couldn’t help glaring at Ning Shuangshuang with resentment and anger before leaving unhappily. Since she couldn’t latch onto a big name, she had no desire to continue pretending to be a little fan.
If it weren’t for Zheng Mingjing’s reputation as a genius director being so big, and her fear of offending him making it difficult for her to survive in the entertainment industry later, Bai Qiao Xin would have lashed out at Zheng Mingjing.
After Bai Qiao Xin left, Ning Shuangshuang quickly returned to the counter to serve other customers. She hadn’t forgotten that she was still a waitress at the café, and her main task was to attend to guests, not chat idly with them, even though she would soon be leaving.
When resigning from the café that evening, the boss was reluctant to let her go. Ning Shuangshuang worked diligently and spoke eloquently, making her quite likable. Ultimately, it was Ning Shuangshuang’s insistence on leaving that made the boss reluctantly give up persuading her.
Early the next morning, Ning Shuangshuang followed the address given by Zheng Mingjing and found the crew where he was filming. Since Zheng Mingjing had already made arrangements, Ning Shuangshuang was soon taken to see him upon arrival.
