CG Company had been developing rapidly recently, and the newly recruited artistes in the company had also benefited a lot.
In the training room, after Chi Hanjing finished her daily training as usual, she heaved a sigh of relief and entered a short rest.
“Senior, haven’t you already acted in a few dramas? Why are you still working so hard?”
The girl sitting beside her spoke, her tone half-joking. “You’re working so hard even with your accomplishments. The rest of us can just roll over and die.” The girl was a new artiste recruited by the company. She had interacted with Chi Hanjing a lot during training every day. She also had a warm, cheerful, and talkative personality, so she was very familiar with her.
‘Tm just maintaining my weight,” Chi Hanjing said calmly. “Recently, this movie has some requirements on my figure. I still have to work hard.” Chi Hanjing didn’t feel anything about the roll that the girl mentioned. However, she had always been serious about her work and couldn’t tolerate any flaws.
Moreover, she had been like this since she was young. In the past, when she was acting as a mime, Chi Hanjing was also very strict with herself, let alone now in the company.
“Senior Chi is really amazing. Ever since she came to the company, she’s been popular in several dramas. She’s still quite famous now…”
“After this drama is over, she’ll probably be able to become an A-list actor.” From time to time, the few people resting at the side would talk softly. Their gazes would land on Chi Hanjing from time to time, filled with envy for her. Chi Hanjing heard it too, but her expression didn’t change as she packed her things.
They were right.
This was the first female lead drama Chi Hanjing had received, so she took it very seriously.
She had acc.u.mulated everything she needed and her fans were supportive. She was only short of a drama to release a representative work for herself, and this drama in her hand was an opportunity.
When she became more famous, she would be one step closer to her goal. After resting, Chi Hanjing stood up to get her coat. This action couldn’t help but attract the attention of the girl beside her.
“Senior, where are you going?” The girl asked curiously. “It’s already night.”
“To eat,” Chi Hanjing replied.
She had an appointment tonight and had to make time in advance.
The girl frowned. “But… Senior, don’t you want to maintain your figure?”
“The production team said that it’s a gathering,” Chi Hanjing replied casually. As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone vibrated twice. Clearly, someone had sent a message.
[Everyone will be at the gathering tonight. There must be no mistake in your dressing.] It was from the director.
Chi Hanjing replied, “Okay.” Then, she put on her coat.
“A production team?” When the girl heard that it was such a meal, her imagination immediately flew to the horizon.
“I heard that there are many unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. Senior, be careful. Remember to protect yourself when you go. If anything happens…”
The little girl chattered non-stop, her eyes revealing her worry for Chi Hanjing, so she couldn’t help but say a few more words.
“It’s fine.” Chi Hanjing didn’t think too much about it.
Those things only happened when people met alone. Everyone in their production team would be there to eat, so how could it happen?
She glanced at the time. She still had to return to the dormitory to change her clothes before setting off later. Chi Hanjing simply ended the chat and stood up to leave.
The venue for dinner was at Yunyue Hotel.
When Chi Hanjing arrived, she explained the reason to the waiter and was led to a private room.
The path inside was winding, and the corridor was decorated with some fancy and beautiful designs, making Chi Hanjing, who didn’t have a strong sense of direction, dizzy.
When she arrived at the door of the private room, it was already two minutes later.
“Guest, we’re here.” The waiter finally stopped at the door of a private room. Chi Hanjing thanked him and was about to walk in when she was stopped by the waiter.
She looked at him in confusion, only to see the waiter speak seriously.
“There’s a special place for bags at the door, Miss.”
The waiter pointed to the side and stretched out his hand to gesture. Chi Hanjing was a little confused.
She had never been to these high-end places before, so when she heard the waiter say this, she thought that it was a tradition or rule here, so she handed over the bag she had brought.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you,” Chi Hanjing said politely.
The waiter shook his head and turned around with the things. This time, Chi
Hanjing finally pushed open the door of the private room.
In order to leave a good impression on everyone during this meal and reduce the trouble of their future collaboration, Chi Hanjing specially chose the most beautiful dress she was wearing.
The design of the off-the-shoulder evening gown and the corset design of the casual dress accentuated her slender waist. The confidence in her smile added to the beauty of her temperament.
As soon as she entered, she met the director in charge of her current drama, Han Zheng.
“You’re here.” Han Zheng smiled when he saw her.
He stood up and walked to Chi Hanjing’s side. Seeing that the other party was dressed very beautifully, he couldn’t help but feel even more satisfied.
Han Zheng pointed inside. “Let’s go and sit down first.”
With that, Han Zheng walked in front. Chi Hanjing nodded and followed.
However, it was different from what Chi Hanjing had imagined. When she entered and saw that there was only a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat, a puzzled expression immediately appeared on Chi Hanjing’s face.
The director coughed lightly and pulled out a chair for her. “Sit down first.”
Since the director had spoken, Chi Hanjing had to sit down.
She walked over and slowly sat down uneasily. Looking at the middle-aged man who was one seat away from her, she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Then, she saw Director Han sitting down beside her.
The atmosphere changed slightly.
However, Han Zheng smiled. “Let me introduce you. This is Young Miss Chi
Hanjing, the female lead in our drama.”
“This is our production team’s investor, Boss Qian Hua.”
Boss Qian, who was introduced, sat at the master seat. He was a typical middle-aged career man with a cla.s.sic Mediterranean hairstyle. There were a few strands of spa.r.s.e hair supporting his hairline. His smiling appearance coupled with a beer belly made Chi Hanjing look away after a glance.
Perhaps seeing that Chi Hanjing was a little nervous, Boss Qian stretched out his hand first.
“h.e.l.lo, Young Miss Chi. It’s our first time meeting.”
“…h.e.l.lo.”
Looking at Boss Qian’s outstretched hand in front of her, Chi Hanjing greeted him out of politeness.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but when they shook hands, Chi Hanjing felt that the other party seemed to have touched the back of her hand However, the time they held hands was too short, so Chi Hanjing couldn’t tell if there was a problem with her perception.
After seeing Young Miss Chi in person, I’m much more confident in this investment,” Boss Qian said with a smile.
Han Zheng chimed in from the side. “Of course. Our female lead was carefully selected.”
Being surrounded by two men on the left and right, Chi Hanjing felt uneasy.
The relaxed mood she had before coming was no longer there.
“Director Han,” Chi Hanjing called out softly. “Where are the others? Didn’t you say that it was a gathering?”
Han Zheng, who was asked, didn’t panic at all. “They had something on at the
last minute. They might be late…”
“Late…?” Chi Hanjing frowned.
“Yes, don’t worry. It’s the same if we eat first.” Han Zheng waved his hand.
At this moment, Boss Qian also said, “I’m a little hungry.”
“That’s good. Let the attendant serve the dishes.” Han Zheng echoed the other party. Let’s eat first. We’ll add more when everyone comes later..”
