Mr. Gu, stop chasing me! Miss Jiang has become a movie queen!

Chapter 123 Goodbye Director

Under the guidance of the photographer, Jiang Ning successfully completed the shooting and then discussed opinions with the photo retoucher.

Jiang Ning doesn't have too many decorations in the picture, and she is just wearing a simple black long skirt, revealing her delicate collarbone and neckline, but even so, she still looks incredibly beautiful.

"I think this one is great, what do you think?"

The photo retoucher pointed to a photo of Jiang Ning holding a bouquet of roses.

Jiang Ning looked at the photo and thought for a moment, then said:

"All good, but I think it's still too complicated. Let's use the original version, which has nothing on it. Simplicity can better highlight the charm of the character."

The retoucher completed the operation in just a few strokes, but in fact, there is no visible difference at all.

On Jiang Ning's face, which is so beautiful that it infuriates both humans and gods, no amount of photo retouching would be more than icing on the cake.

They presented the final result to Jiang Ning, who nodded:

"Okay, let's use this as the cover."

The communication throughout the whole process was very pleasant and even quick. Jiang Ning, the rumored movie queen, did not seem to have any airs at all. She was even more down-to-earth than those unknown traffic stars.

The atmosphere in the studio relaxed a little, and everyone started chatting with each other.

"No wonder the director thought you would be a big hit the first time he saw you. Let me tell you, your attitude will definitely attract the audience. It's hard not to be a big hit. The director is really good at judging people."

The studio agent nearby was complimenting Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning was already used to these people's flattery, so he didn't take their words too seriously. He just thought of it as a joke and let it go.

Jiang Ning just smiled modestly and said:

"I'll be counting on you for the rest of this time. Please take good care of me."

Jiang Ning's words clearly hit the nail on the head. The agent couldn't stop laughing, and the two sides praised each other:

"No way, no way. You are our biggest resource for this drama. Many producers invested because of you."

Jiang Ning signaled her assistant to come and rescue her. She didn't want to continue the awkward conversation. She remained polite and said:

"Ahahahaha, you're so flattered."

The assistant understood, walked over and handed the fully charged phone to Jiang Ning.

After she took the phone, she started to look through the messages on it. Although there were still many messages that she had not replied to, Jiang Ning did not want to reply. After all, she just wanted to find a reason to change the subject.

The assistant glanced at the agent, then turned his gaze back to Jiang Ning and said:

"Sister Jiang, the director seems to have something to do, and I want to ask you to go over."

Jiang Ning looked up and said in surprise:

"Ah?! Looking for me? Now?"

The assistant explained:

"Yes, the director asked you to come over this afternoon. But I just saw you chatting with your agent, so I didn't dare to go over to disturb you. But the director said that as long as you can arrive this afternoon, it's fine."

"Oh, I see." Jiang Ning just glanced at the time on the phone screen. It was 4:30 pm. "Then let's go there now. It should still be in time."

Jiang Ning had just taken half a step out when he suddenly thought of something, then turned around and smiled apologetically at his agent behind him:

"I'm sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment. You just saw that the director asked me to come, so I can't refuse, right?"

The agent held a paper tube made of waste paper in his hand and waved goodbye to Jiang Ning:

"It's okay, it's okay, just go ahead, I understand, Miss Jiang, we'll meet again if we're destined to."

Jiang Ning left as soon as possible. Although she could feel that his agent was a little unhappy when he said this, there was nothing she could do about it because it was the director's arrangement.

The assistant took Jiang Ning directly to the underground garage. The car had been prepared in advance, so Jiang Ning could walk in directly.

After getting in the car, Jiang Ning asked his assistant:

"Did the director tell you what the matter was when he contacted you? I don't want to go there without knowing why. And how far away does he live? Why does he need to send another car to pick me up?"

The assistant was sitting in the passenger seat. He took out his phone and reviewed the information he had just seen. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Jiang Jie... I don't know the details, but the director said it was about acting, so I told you. Maybe there's something that's inconvenient to talk about with outsiders like us. If you don't believe me, just read it."

He handed his cell phone to Jiang Ning, who took it and scrolled through the two pages. It was indeed all work matters, with nothing else mixed in.

The director sent the assistant:

"Xiao Zhang, are you with your sister Jiang? Ask her to come to my office this afternoon. I have something to talk to her about."

Assistant Reply:

"Okay, Jiang Ning is filming right now. I'll let her know after she finishes filming."

The director didn't respond to him any further.

Jiang Ning returned the phone. She didn't really understand what the director meant by that, so she told Li Yiming about it.

The phone showed that the other party was typing, and soon Li Yiming replied to her:

"How can there be such a director? He has already found the actors before filming anything."

Jiang Ning replied to Li Yiming almost immediately:

"That's what I wanted to say, so I came to ask you since I didn't understand."

Li Yiming comforted her:

"How about this, you don't have to worry about him for now, just deal with his moves as they come. If you have any questions, ask me. I'll have someone investigate him and see what he's up to."

Jiang Ning gave him an OK gesture and ended the conversation. In fact, she was quite curious about what the director was going to do.

The car sped along the highway, passing one building after another, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous residential building.

The residential building is already dilapidated. Although there are other residents living nearby, most of them are elderly people in their seventies or eighties and very young children. It seems that there are not many adults to be seen.

Jiang Ning immediately realized that something was wrong and asked the driver:

"Where is this? Will the director be here?"

Unexpectedly, the driver looked innocent and said to Jiang Ning:

"I don't know either. I'm just an employee. They asked me to bring you here, so I did. Isn't there a man accompanying you? You two can go together."

The driver looked at the assistant, but the assistant seemed at a loss. He frantically fumbled with his phone, trying to find a reasonable reason to explain the whole process.

Jiang Ning turned his gaze to the assistant and said sharply:

"Xiao Zhang, can you explain to me what's going on? I came here just because you told me to! You didn't bring me here without knowing anything, did you?"

But at this moment the assistant seemed very flustered, which was totally inconsistent with his usual meticulous demeanor.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he pretended to be calm and said to Jiang Ning:

"Sister Jiang, don't worry. The driver should not have taken the wrong road. Let's wait a little longer and don't get off yet. If this is really the place the director said, he should send someone to pick us up. I will contact the director again."

Jiang Ning spread his hands and lay back on the backrest, looking a bit hopeless, and said:

"It has come to this, this is all we can do. Let's wait and see when someone can come. If no one comes within ten minutes, we will leave now."

The assistant tried frantically to contact the director, but the director just didn't reply to him.

His palms were sweating so much that his cell phone slipped twice.

The atmosphere in the car had frozen to freezing point at this moment. The three of them were silent, waiting to see if there were any new discoveries.

Even the driver began to question his own ability, wondering if he had taken the wrong road because of his old eyesight.

But when he took out the navigation and checked again and again, he found that every road he took was correct and there was no wrong road at all. The destination was here.

After a while, a man came out of the old residential building.

His meticulous suit formed a sharp contrast with the dilapidated residential building behind him, making it difficult to connect the two things together.

The man in the suit seemed to have a purpose and walked straight towards the car Jiang Ning was riding in. He knocked on the driver's window and signaled the driver to roll down the window.

Then he said to the inside:

"Ms. Jiang, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm the director's secretary. Please follow me."
