Chapter 31

Ming Dai’s arrival caused everyone in the meeting room to size her up.

In the entertainment industry, it was not uncommon for the investors to fill in roles with their people. The people from the main creative team were already used to it. Anyway, this role was not very major. As long as the person was passable, they would accept it.

But now, looking at this beautiful girl with eyes as clear as spring water and having a delicate and naive appearance… they were really overjoyed.

More than passable? They had dug up a treasure, okay?

Director Gao Yi was in his fifties and did not look old. He always had a smile in his eyes and was famous for his good temper in the industry. When he saw Ming Dai, he took the initiative to greet her warmly.

“This is our Mingzhu, right?”

Princess Mingzhu was the name of the character that Ming Dai was going to play.

These words seemed to have a double meaning.

The main creative team nodded repeatedly when they heard this.

The chief producer deliberately said to President Chen beside him in an exaggerated tone.

“When did you find such a good seedling? If there’s a chance in the future, we have to cooperate more!”

“She’s a newbie we just signed. You flatter me.”

Of course, President Chen also knew that this chief producer was deliberately giving Azure face.

That didn’t stop him from smiling. He had a proud expression on his face.

Su Fangyun said at the right time.

“My Ming Dai is only 18 years old this year and is in her third year of high school. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Third year of high school? That’s an important period. Looks like Ming Dai’s filming schedule needs to be adjusted.”

The person who said this was Gao Yi. Even the chief producer had to refer to him.

Hence, he immediately decided. “I’ll get the chief to try his best to arrange Princess Mingzhu’s scenes during the weekend.”

Gao Yi nodded in satisfaction. “That’s good. Let’s not delay her studies.”

“Yes, yes.”

The others chimed in.

That was even more of a pleasant surprise for Ming Dai and Su Fangyun.

Su Fangyun thanked Gao Yi profusely.

Gao Yi waved his hand and asked Ming Dai, “Have you read the script?”

Ming Dai shook her head. “No.”

“Then read it carefully this week. I’ll look forward to your performance during the weekend. Although Princess Mingzhu doesn’t have many scenes, if you act well, it will be a good opportunity for you.”

“I know, Director Gao.”

Ming Dai nodded solemnly.

This was an opportunity that she had waited for two lifetimes. Even without Director Gao’s instructions, she would do her best!

Perhaps Gao Yi sensed her sincerity and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes deepened.

After that, Ming Dai and Su Fangyun did not stay for long.

They were here to have a discussion. If they stayed to participate in such a high-level meeting, they would be insensible.

Shen Qinghe was the only actor sitting here today. He was the main protagonist of this drama. It was said that he had a few investments, so he was qualified to deeply be involved in the creation of this drama.

Su Fangyun had told Ming Dai everything.

She did not think that she could take charge of everything just because she was a manager. Instead, she would explain these rules and principles to Ming Dai in detail.

Ming Dai was even more serious. She wished she could write it down in her notebook.

She had never understood these seemingly superficial rules in her previous life, and no one had told her about them. There were many times when she did not even know that she had offended someone.

“Sigh,” she said with a small sigh.

“What’s wrong?” Su Fangyun’s hearing was sharp.

“Oh.” Ming Dai blinked and lied. “It’s so difficult.”

Actually, Ming Dai was lamenting that it had not been easy for her to become an A-lister in her previous life.

Su Fangyun smiled and rubbed the top of her head. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”

Ming Dai felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

After experiencing everything in her previous life, she was no longer the Ming Dai who trusted people easily.

However, Su Fangyun was still trustworthy for once.

Ming Dai thought so.

The words swift and decisive were simply engraved in Su Fangyun’s bones.

On Sunday afternoon, after signing the contract and meeting with the production team, Su Fangyun did not let Ming Dai go home. Instead, she brought her to see her house—

It was a high-end residential area with a good location and convenient transportation. Most importantly, the security was very strict. Su Fangyun drove Ming Dai in and was interrogated three times.

Su Fangyun did not feel impatient. Instead, she was satisfied with the security guards’ responsibility.

“The most important thing in an artist’s dormitory is privacy. It’s very difficult for paparazzi to sneak in with security of this level.”

As she spoke, she parked the car and took the elevator with Ming Dai to the higher floors.

The house was not very big. It was about 80 square meters with two bedrooms and two living rooms. It was renovated in a wood style.

“The company rented this place for you. There were no tenants before you moved in. Everything is brand new. Of course, if you’re not satisfied, I can help you replace everything.”

The generous Su Fangyun would never let her own artiste suffer!

Ming Dai carefully observed the dormitory she would be staying in in the future and shook her head.

“There’s no need to change. This is good enough!”

Although this dormitory could not compare to her home in her previous life, it was already worlds apart from the small village in the city.

Su Fangyun led Ming Dai all the way in and introduced her to the house non-stop. She had the temperament of a gold-tier realtor.

“There’s a laptop and a new phone in your bedroom that I bought for you. You can change them later.

There are clothes in the wardrobe for the company’s clothing team. From the moment you signed the contract, you have to pay attention to your image at all times. Oh, except in school.

The kitchen outside had basic kitchenware and cutlery. If you are interested, you can cook by yourself. If you needed to buy anything, you can contact your assistant at any time.

I’ve ordered the guest bed to be removed. This will be converted into a cloakroom. The wardrobe in the master bedroom? That’s not enough. Soon, your things will fill the cloakroom.”

“I’ve sent you the number of the new assistant. Her name is Huang Yuanyuan. She’s a new graduate who just joined the company this year. She’s been an intern for half a year. She has a good personality and can endure hardships. Since she’s about your age, I think you two will have something in common.

“By the way, this place is not far from No.1 Middle School. It’s a three-stop bus ride and it’s about ten minutes… Well, there shouldn’t be anything to add. What about you? Is there anything you’re not satisfied with?”

“I’m very satisfied!”

Ming Dai was confused. This efficiency was too high!

“The only question is … when do I move in?”

“You can do it today if you want.”

Ming Dai actually felt that this suggestion was not bad.

Perhaps influenced by Su Fangyun’s actions, she immediately decided to go home with Su Fangyun to pack her luggage!

The two of them drove into the city village. The snow-white Mercedes-Benz coupe was incompatible with the gray city village.

This was not Su Fangyun’s first time here, but it was his first time stepping into Ming Dai’s house.

She was a very observant person. After taking a glance at Ming Dai’s family situation, she could roughly guess the situation of their family and the couple’s attitude towards Ming Dai.

At this moment, in the cramped and dark old house, Yu Ting’s sharp voice almost pierced through the ceiling.

“What? You’re moving out? Alone?”
