Chapter 642: Chapter 640 Pies Fall from the Sky_1

Na Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, "I’m fine... You don’t need to worry..."

"Xiaoxiao... why don’t you sit next to me, I’ll tell you a story..." Le Xiaofeng said with a playful smile, looking at Na Xiaoxiao.

Na Xiaoxiao was completely amused by Le Xiaofeng’s words and burst into laughter.

Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing immediately glared at him, saying in unison, "Go away!"

Yet their words were overheard word for word by Zhao Shushu, who was standing by the door.

She clenched her fingers tightly, so angry that her teeth chattered. These people were just too much!

She stormed off in a rage, muttering furiously as she went, "So what if they’re the Misses of the Mu Family? What’s with their airs? Did I say anything wrong? That woman is blind as a bat!"

"A sighted blind person! A complete waste! Utterly useless!"

"So what if I can’t play the lead or secondary lead? Let a blind person try, she probably couldn’t even land a walk-on part!"

"Miss Zhao..." She was grumbling as she walked with her head down, not expecting a person to suddenly appear in front of her.

Looking up to see a man in a black suit, she scowled, "Who are you?"

The man smiled amiably, "Haha, Miss Zhao, we’re getting ready to shoot a new drama, and I wonder if you might be interested in knowing more?"

Zhao Shushu’s eyes lit up, filled with surprise and delight!

"Really?"

"Really..." the man nodded.

Zhao Shushu’s eyes roamed, "Wait a minute, which company are you with? How do you know my last name is Zhao?" Could it be that she was already so famous?

"Haha, Miss Zhao’s beauty is unforgettable, naturally giving one the ability to remember," the man complimented with a laugh.

Zhao Shushu’s guard immediately vanished, "What’s this new drama you’re making..."

"I’m just the assistant director, and the producer is waiting for me to invite Miss Zhao over..." the man said with a hint of import.

Producer! Zhao Shushu was over the moon, thinking that the pie from the sky had finally hit her on the head, and she nodded in agreement without a second thought.

"This way, please..."

As she followed the man, she was bursting with excitement, probing, "How did you know I was here?"

The man paused, then chuckled, "Just now, when Miss Zhao entered that room over there, I saw you. I was about to go have a look, but then you came out..."

Zhao Shushu’s face soured immediately. She humphed internally and then smiled, "Well, I just ran into an acquaintance..."

"Oh? Are you close with the people inside?" the man asked casually.

"Not very close, just... one of them is a university classmate of mine..." She didn’t say Xin Shiyi’s name because she was afraid if she did, they would change their mind and choose Xin Shiyi instead of her.

"You’re talking about Miss Xin, aren’t you?" the man seemed to know everything.

Zhao Shushu’s heart skipped a beat, "Haha... did you see her just now, too?"

"Mmm..." the man nodded and added, "We had considered her before, but she’s not quite suitable..."

Hearing the man say this, Zhao Shushu felt reassured.

"Oh, haha..."

"The Misses from the Mu Family, they seem to be there too?" the man asked, as if out of the blue.

Zhao Shushu was annoyed by Mu Zixuan and when she heard his question, her face darkened for a moment before she hummed softly in acknowledgement.

The man nodded gently, said no more, and led her into a private room.

But as soon as Zhao Shushu stepped into the room, she felt that something was off.

The people here, in suits and leather shoes, wearing black sunglasses and black hats, seemed anything but ordinary; they looked more like members of the underworld.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she began to regret her impulsive decision to follow this man in.

"Brother Xiang..." The man approached the slightly overweight individual at the head of the group and whispered something in his ear. After he stepped back, the so-called Brother Xiang, still wearing sunglasses, began to size up the very nervous Zhao Shushu.

"Zhao Shushu?"

Zhao Shushu was already incredibly nervous; she had a feeling these people were not the good sort.

"Hehe... I am..."

"Mm, not bad... Definitely can play the female lead..." The man nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shushu’s heart leaped. Had she been wrong? Was this man the film producer?

"How about a starting salary of five million?" The man said casually to Zhao Shushu.

Zhao Shushu froze on the spot, five million upfront...

She hadn’t misheard, had she?

"Come, bring out our sincerity..." Brother Xiang twisted his face, and a man in black turned around, picked up a black briefcase, and carried it over to Zhao Shushu.

"How rude, let Miss Zhao have a look first..."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately turned, placed the briefcase on the table, and with a couple of snaps, opened it to reveal stacks of red hundred-yuan bills.

Zhao Shushu’s eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the piles of hundred-yuan bills inside the briefcase.

"And this is only one-third of the total..."

Zhao Shushu’s heart skipped joyfully again; if one-third meant this much, then wouldn’t she earn fifteen million for the whole film? And most importantly, once she played the female lead, there would be countless other opportunities to earn fifteen million!

"What kind of film are you shooting? Where’s the script?" Her heart was full of excitement.

"Hehe... Miss Zhao, there’s no need to rush..." Brother Xiang said with a chuckle.

Zhao Shushu’s heart lurched again. Could he possibly want...

In her mind, she pondered, if he wanted her to trade her body for the role... then... she wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by!

However, the words that came out of the man’s mouth were not what she had anticipated...

"I just hope that before signing the contract, Miss Zhao can do me a favor..." The man still sounded rather polite.

Zhao Shushu was surprised. She was just a third-rate minor star; what kind of favor could she possibly do for him?

"What do you need my help with?"

"Hehe, it’s like this, I wish to discuss some matters with a young lady from the Mu Family, but she keeps saying she has no time, putting it off again and again. Since you’re acquainted with them, could you possibly bring one of them to meet me..."

Zhao Shushu’s brows furrowed slightly—

He was looking for someone from the Mu Family?

But she was not close with anyone from the Mu Family.

She was about to refuse outright when Brother Xiang spoke again, "After the job is done, we’ll sign the contract immediately, I’ll give you another five million, and the rest after we finish filming. What do you think?"

Zhao Shushu wavered. For fifteen million, and for the throne of a goddess in the future, she impulsively nodded: "Okay..."

The man immediately smiled satisfactorily and nodded, "Good, straightforward, Miss Zhao... I wish us a pleasant cooperation..."

Zhao Shushu extended her hand and shook hands with the man, separating immediately after the handshake.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart; it seemed she had been making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Today’s opportunity is not bad..." Brother Xiang added.
