Chapter 47
The next day when Ji Nian woke up, she went downstairs groggily and found that breakfast had already been prepared. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned.
"Good morning, Aunt Yun."
"Good morning, Miss Ji." Aunt Yun said with a smile while setting out bowls and chopsticks.
Ji Nian nodded hazily, turned on her phone WeChat, and saw those friend request messages.
She didn't agree to them last night either, feeling a bit hesitant. She simply took screenshots and sent them to He Yi.
Ji Nian: Picture sent to you, give me some advice.
She saw the person on the other end of the phone hadn't replied yet. She drank congee while staring at the screen waiting for a message.
After ten minutes, her phone rang. Ji Nian put down her spoon and hurried to open it.
He Yi: Wow, sister, you're quite popular! So many companies are looking for you.
Ji Nian: Come on, I don't understand any of these. Give me your opinion quickly.
He Yi: Um... If I say, these are pretty much the same, they all seem similar.
Ji Nian: Then should I decline them all?
He Yi: One company is still okay, but you probably won't go.
Ji Nian: Which company?
He Yi: Are you pretending to be dumb?
Ji Nian: ?
He Yi: Cheng Liran's company, obviously, Star Brilliant Company.
Ji Nian: ......
Cheng Liran. Since Ji Nian came to this world, this was the name she had heard the most.
She had never seen this person before. Strangely, even the internet celebrity she often followed didn't seem to have this man's photo on Weibo.
Ji Nian wouldn't deliberately search for this name, so until now, she still didn't know what Cheng Liran looked like.
But the original owner had died because of him, and was sued for owing 6 million yuan. Because of this, the company terminated her contract and she owed another 4 million yuan. Added up to 10 million yuan of debt. Ji Nian had absolutely no good feelings towards this man.
He Yi: Are you going?
Ji Nian: Am I stupid?
He Yi: You scared me to death, I thought you were going to go.
Ji Nian: What about the other companies? Really not good?
He Yi: I don't think they are great, or should we wait a little longer?
Ji Nian: Bye
At this time, Shen Shuyao, who was resting on set, walked over to He Yi and saw Ji Nian's WeChat profile photo on the phone screen. She asked, "Chatting with Little Nian?"
He Yi put away his phone and smiled in reply, "She asked me for advice on the company."
Shen Shuyao's face lit up with joy when she heard it, and said, "Someone wants to sign a contract with Little Nian?"
"Yes." He Yi nodded, and helped tidy up the woman's messy hair, saying, "I saw the show had a pretty good response online after it aired yesterday, plus she has that mysterious composer, so many companies are contacting her."
Shen Shuyao smiled and said, "That's great, then she can work normally again."
"But I looked at them, although those companies are big companies..." He Yi frowned and said, "Actually their reputations are not very good either, they are quite harsh on artists."
"What should we do then?" Shen Shuyao was stunned, only to recall that her previous company was like that too, secretly making female actors accompany wine and sleep around, so a good company was indeed very important.
He Yi sighed, saw the breakfast arranged by the crew had arrived, and lamented as he walked, "In fact, our current company, Huayu, has a very good reputation in the industry, and its reputation is also good, it's just... "
Shen Shuyao saw He Yi go to get breakfast, heard what he said, and suddenly froze. She blinked and a thought suddenly emerged in her heart.
On the villa side, after eating, Ji Nian felt bored and looked at Weibo. Many people were screenshotting her footage from the variety show.
There were also compilations of her and Shen Shuyao, the video of her scraping mud off the slippers, with much more friendly comments below.
"Suddenly realized this Ji Nian is quite caring."
"She doesn't seem delicate at all, look, a pair of slippers, wearing a straw hat like an old man, not afraid to get dirty helping Shen Shuyao scrape the mud off her shoes."
"I saw later, she also helped bail Shen Shuyao out, went fishing in the fish pond herself, got all dirty."
"Yeah, I saw it too, so heartwarming. At the time I thought they would shirk responsibility, who knew Ji Nian took the initiative to go down herself."
"On the show she also made self-deprecating jokes, made me crack up, saying she was a Z-lister, no one knows her hahaha."
"Hahaha, it's true, she also complained about her poor acting skills, I've never seen someone like this before hahaha."
"This move made Shen Shuyao next to her at a loss for words."
"Shen Shuyao had a dumbfounded expression on her face."
Ji Nian saw fewer abusive comments and looked pleasantly surprised. What about the antis?
She struggled for a moment. After all, it was still Shen Shuyao's credit, you see, shooting a variety show with the female lead, the black comments about her were reduced. Indeed, the power of popularity is unshakable.
Ji Nian made up her mind to hug Shen Shuyao's thighs tightly and rubbing off some of her aura wouldn't be too bad.
After sitting at the dining table for a while, she thought about going out for a walk, so she said goodbye to Aunt Yun and went out.
Ji Nian wore pajamas and pink slippers. Her jet black hair draped over her shoulders. Carrying her phone, she intended to go out like this to walk around and digest her breakfast.
After all, there were plazas and parks in this villa area. She didn't see many people around when she went out yesterday, presumably because others weren't so free, so she wasn't afraid to go out in her pajamas.
She walked slowly all the way. Several cars did pass by her, it was 9 o'clock in the morning, the time when others were preparing to go to work.
When she arrived at the park, she took a stroll along the lakeside pedestrian path, enjoying the fish swimming back and forth in the lake, and blowing the cool morning breeze, making her feel at ease.
"Huh? Someone jogging?" Ji Nian was startled to see a figure approaching from afar.
Looking at the tall figure of the man, dressed in black sportswear that outlined his straight posture, the muscular lines of his arms were clearly visible from afar.
But when he got closer, Ji Nian froze in place, her eyes full of surprise.
The man was also surprised to see a woman suddenly appear by the lake. He stopped and met her clear eyes, before recalling and smiling gently.
"Oh? It's you?"
Ji Nian saw the man recognize her. Seeing his overly handsome face, her face heated up for a moment. Wasn't this the handsome guy standing next to the male lead yesterday? He lives here too?
"Hello." Ji Nian smiled awkwardly and turned her head away in embarrassment.
The man only noticed the woman's outfit then, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She wore a loose pink pajama dress and a pair of fair and slender legs under pink slippers. Her hair didn't seem to have been combed, somewhat disheveled behind her.
Strangely, this sloppy outfit didn't make people feel disgusted. On the contrary, it added a touch of charm to the woman. Her delicate features had no decoration at all. Her fair complexion looked exceptionally delicate under the sun.
