Meng Jiao put away the phone and stepped forward a little awkwardly, "Assistant Xiao, thank you!"
Xiao Ming was stunned, "Thank me?"
Meng Jiao nodded, "Yes, you don't know how important this audition opportunity is to me."
"If you hadn't recommended it to me, how could Director Sun have given me this opportunity?"
Xiao Ming did not explain.
To be honest, Meng Jiao really left a deep impression on him in the audition just now.
A very outstanding young actress, she can even be described as stunning!
Xiao Ming had a hunch that if she performed it properly this time, it would greatly promote her acting career.
However, there are too many variables in the entertainment industry.
Although the role is highly malleable, she is still only the second female lead after all.
The female lead is a well-deserved first-line celebrity in the country and has won numerous awards.
Acting skills, looks, both are on the line, working with such a big shot, it is inevitable that you will be suppressed.
Exactly how far she can go depends on her luck.
After gathering his thoughts, Xiao Ming asked: "Then, Miss Meng, how do you plan to thank me?"
Meng Jiao hesitated for a moment, "Let me treat you to dinner!"
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Okay, it's my pleasure."
"As a thank you, I will tell you about Director Sun's acting career, which will also deepen your understanding of this drama."
The two of them chatted and walked, they had similar interests, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
As a result, as soon as I walked out of the gate of the film and television city, my mood was ruined by someone.
Meng Jiao's face changed slightly and she apologized: "Assistant Xiao, please wait for me for a moment. I have some personal matters to deal with."
After saying that, she took a deep breath, stepped forward and asked, "Zhao Dong, what are you doing here again?"
Zhao Dong's eyes happened to fall on Xiao Ming, and he could see that he was a talented man, confident, calm and sunny.
Xiao Ming smiled and nodded to Zhao Dong first.
Zhao Dong nodded in response, and then looked at Meng Jiao, "It seems that I came at a bad time?"
"Who is he? He's very handsome."
Meng Jiao responded coldly, "It has nothing to do with you who he is!"
Zhao Dong didn't ask any questions, took out a cowhide bag from his arms and handed it over.
Meng Jiao didn't answer, "What is this?"
Zhao Dong explained, "I will get your labor fee back for you."
Meng Jiao was confused, "I asked for it several times, but they didn't give it to me. Why does your Zhao Dong's face work so well?"
Zhao Dong shrugged, "Learn with reason, move with emotion!"
"Maybe it was my sincerity that moved them."
Meng Jiao's face turned cold, "Zhao Dong, I'm not in the mood to be playful with you!"
"I told you yesterday that if you can't give me a status, please stay away from me. I can't be friends with you!"
"Why do you still insist on pestering me? What do you want?"
"Do you know that because you beat Feng Tao yesterday, no crew in the entire film and television city dares to use me!"
"I finally found a crew now, do you want to sabotage it again?"
"Zhao Dong, don't I owe you?"
Zhao Dong said seriously: "I'm sorry, I didn't think well about what happened yesterday. I originally wanted to help you..."
Meng Jiao interrupted, "I don't want to hear your explanation, I don't need your help, and I don't want this money."
"Thank you for helping me advance the rent yesterday. This money will be paid back to you!"
As she spoke, she turned her head.
I originally thought that Zhao Dong would continue to pester me, but to my surprise, there was a moment of silence.
Zhao Dong said: "Now that you have found a suitable crew, I am relieved."
"I won't pester you anymore."
With that said, Zhao Dong turned around and left neatly, got in the car and walked away.
Meng Jiao was slightly flustered. As Zhao Dong left, it seemed as if something was being taken away with him.
She was upset and upset.
In her anxiety, someone approached from behind, leaving her with no time to think about it.
Xiao Ming said in a gentle voice: "Miss Meng, is that your boyfriend?"
"Did he misunderstand something? Do you need me to explain it to him?"
Meng Jiao pretended to be calm and said: "No, I'm just an ordinary friend, no need to explain."
As he was talking, someone came not far away.
Meng Jiao was also a little surprised that the person coming was actually Feng Tao.
Xiao Ming stepped forward and said, "Director Feng, I've heard everything."
"You and I both know exactly what's going on."
"Forget it before. From now on, Miss Meng is a member of our crew. If I hear you again, you will spread some false rumors behind my back."
"I can guarantee that our legal team will sue you for defamation!"
"If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Feng Tao was stunned for a moment. The film and television city is so big, how can there be any chance encounters?
He originally came here to apologize, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ming actually helped Meng Jiao stand up.
Feng Tao couldn't understand how a little-known actor could have so much energy?
To be honest, he was not afraid of what Xiao Ming said about the legal team.
After all, after working hard in this industry for so many years, some of my background is not obvious.
If Director Sun had said this, he might be afraid.
But for Xiao Ming, it is inevitable that it is a little short of the mark.
Of course, an apology is a given.
But it's not because of Xiao Ming, but because of the person he left just now.
Feng Tao shuddered when he thought of that person's methods.
Anyway, it's just an apology, and it's not a big deal to give Xiao Ming some face.
Feng Tao gathered his thoughts and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, Director Xiao, it's all a misunderstanding."
As he said that, he looked at Meng Jiao and said, "Miss Meng, I am here to apologize to you. Don't worry, I will come forward to help you clarify those false rumors."
"I'm here to express my apologies for the impact I've had on you..."
After he left, Meng Jiao looked at Xiao Ming gratefully, "Assistant Xiao, thank you for speaking out just now, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to avoid this basin of dirty water."
Xiao Ming sighed, "Stop calling me assistant. I'm a few years older than you. From now on, please call me Brother Ming."
"Let's go, let's talk while eating, my stomach is growling."
…
Zhao Dong parked the car on the side of the road and lowered the window.
The cigarette in his hand was lit, but he had no intention of smoking.
Soon, Feng Tao trotted forward, "Brother Dong..."
Only then did Zhao Dong glance at him, "Is the matter settled?"
Feng Tao nodded, "It's done. I have come forward to clarify that it is all my fault and has nothing to do with Miss Meng."
"I can guarantee that no one will dare to say another word in the future!"
Zhao Dong said indifferently: "That's good. If you let me hear half a word of gossip again in the future, I, Zhao Dong, will do what I say!"
Feng Tao hurriedly wiped his sweat, "I don't dare... I don't dare... I promise I won't..."
Zhao Dong warned again, "Remember, we haven't seen each other today!"
Feng Tao said flatteringly: "Brother Dong, you have helped Miss Meng so much, why do you still hide it from her?"
"I see that pretty boy named Xiao..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a cold gaze.
Feng Tao didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and quickly echoed, "Brother Dong, don't worry, we haven't seen him before!"
Zhao Dong flicked off his cigarette butt and closed the car window.
Before starting the car, Xiaofang called, "Mr. Zhao, from Tianding, let us have a meeting in the afternoon!"
Zhao Dong took a deep breath and said, "Tell them I'll be there on time!"
