Chapter 256: New Script
Ji Niandong adjusted her attire in front of the mirror, ensuring everything was wrapped up properly before heading to the elevator to find Ada.
The elevator went straight up to the thirteenth floor. As the doors opened, Liu Xinyu and her manager Amy were waiting at the door.
Upon seeing her, they were clearly surprised. Liu Xinyu adjusted her sunglasses and said, "It’s her!"
She gave a disdainful sneer, turned to her manager. Amy frowned even more deeply, "If you hadn’t run off at this moment..."
"Enough!" Liu Xinyu interrupted her, glanced at Ji Niandong, still holding her sunglasses. "Aren’t you coming out? We’re going down!"
Ji Niandong merely nodded politely, then left without another glance.
Once in the elevator, Liu Xinyu removed her sunglasses, a hint of swelling still visible at the outer corner of her eyes. As Amy pressed the close button, Liu Xinyu scolded, "If you had secured this role earlier, would I have had to get my eyes done at this time?"
"How could I know such a minor role would attract so much attention?!" Amy glanced at her disapprovingly, "If you continue to defy me like this, you’re bound to get into trouble sooner or later!"
"Are you cursing me? If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve been with me for years, I’d have replaced you long ago!" She sneered, "Without my sponsorship bringing the company so much money, would you have your current status at Yi Tai? Thanks to me, you’ve made it to the top ranks of managers, and yet you’re still full of complaints?!"
Amy looked at her incredulously, but in the end, said nothing.
Only then did Liu Xinyu feel somewhat satisfied, putting her sunglasses back on.
When Ji Niandong knocked and entered Ada’s office, Ada was on the phone, so she waited for a while, vaguely hearing her mention Qiao Anlu, but she didn’t react.
After Ada hung up the phone, she said, "You’re here?" She glanced at her again, "Why are you dressed so heavily in such hot weather? Have a seat!"
Ji Niandong unconsciously pulled her collar up a bit, obediently sitting down in front of Ada.
Ada flipped through some files in front of her and said, "You don’t have much fame now, so you can be a bit more casual. But you should be more careful in the future; bundling up tight doesn’t mean nothing will happen!"
She suddenly looked up at Ada, her face flushing red, then turning pale.
Did Ada know she was married? Or did she misunderstand her involvement?
Hesitating for a moment, just as she was about to ask, Ada, as if nothing was wrong, handed her the script, "This is the script for ’Chu Feng’s Story.’ Go back and study it well. I’ve managed to get you the role of Princess Consort Shu, though there aren’t many scenes, it’s getting a lot of buzz now and suits you. Your series of promotions will start soon, make the most of it!"
’Chu Feng’s Story’?!
Ji Niandong’s eyes widened in disbelief!
