Leng Rongrong first went to look for the assistant director. Because she had seen him the day before, she was more familiar with him.

“Assistant Director Zhu, do I really have to be the second female lead in this drama?”

After Leng Rongrong found Assistant Director Zhu, she first inquired about the specific situation.

After all, it should be Ye Tianxin’s arrangement, and Leng Rongrong wasn’t sure if Ye Tianxin was just trying to mess with her.

According to Ye Tianxin’s personality, it was possible that she would lie to Leng Rongrong.

“That’s right. Why? Didn’t your manager make it clear to you?” Assistant Director Zhu quickly said, “It’s like this. Director Fu thinks you have a good temperament that is very suitable for the second female lead. Elder Qi also saw you that day and thought you’re a perfect fit. Hence, our director and the producer discussed it and finally decided to let you play the role. Originally, you didn’t have this chance. Speaking of which, you’re lucky that the actress who was originally set to be the second female lead was injured, and she quit.”

“Oh, thank you.” Leng Rongrong was very happy. “Where’s the director? I’ll go and thank him.”

“The director is over there. You should go over and look for him. It just so happens that he also wants to explain the scene to you.”

Leng Rongrong went to look for the director.

The director was talking to the producer, and he was very happy to see Leng Rongrong.

“Little girl, your temperament is indeed not bad. The way you dealt with the male actor that day was very similar to the second female lead in the script.” The director observed Leng Rongrong up close and asked the producer next to him, “How is it? Very good, right?”

“It’s perfect.” The producer nodded.

“What’s your name?” Director Fu asked.

......

“Leng Rongrong,”

“Rongrong, good! Very good. Rongrong, have you ever acted in a movie?”

“Yes, she’s exceptional!” A voice suddenly came from behind and interrupted the director, “This girl, not only is her acting good, but she’s also very good in other aspects. Old Fu, don’t you believe what I’ve said?”

“Elder Qi!” Leng Rongrong was pleasantly surprised when she saw the person. “Elder Qi, long time no see!”

“It’s been a while indeed. I’m so happy to see you again!” Elder Qi grabbed Leng Rongrong excitedly, “Girl, come and play chess with me. I haven’t played it in a long time. I couldn’t beat you the last time, but I must beat you this time. I’ve already thought of a way to break it!”

“Don’t, I haven’t started talking about the scene yet!” Director Fu saw Leng Rongrong being dragged away by Elder Qi and shouted in a hurry.

“What acting? Rongrong is a smart girl and has a strong ability to understand. She doesn’t need anyone to explain the acting to her. If she has to, I’ll do it!” Elder Qi said with a smile.

“I’ll leave it to you then, Old Qi. Don’t play for too long. The shoot is about to start. Let the stylist work first. After the female lead is done filming, it’s time for the second female lead!” Director Fu shouted.

“I know, I know. We know what we’re doing!”

Elder Qi pulled Leng Rongrong to a quiet corner and sat under a big tree.

Elder Qi’s assistant had prepared a table and two small chairs for him.

After they sat down, they started playing chess.

Leng Rongrong let Elder Qi go first while she got the makeup artist to work while watching Elder Qi go off. Thereafter, she moved on to the next step.

An old man and a young man, it was a lovely scene.

Many people gathered around to watch.

After all, one of them was Elder Qi, a senior in the entertainment industry, a senior Film Emperor, and a very well-known one. Even at his old age, he was still filming, and his popularity had never diminished.

Many people wanted to please Elder Qi, but none of them succeeded.

There were even situations where he had hit the nail on the head.

Elder Qi had always been a serious person, so most of the time, he was stone-faced. Although many artists present wanted to get to know Elder Qi, they were also very afraid of him.

Just when everyone wanted to get close but didn’t dare to, Leng Rongrong suddenly appeared and even dared to play chess with Elder Qi.

Most importantly, such a serious Elder Qi had become an old naughty child in front of Leng Rongrong.

He was actually always smiling and would even go back on his word when playing chess.

However, when Leng Rongrong glanced at him, Elder Qi would put down his chess piece embarrassedly. It indicated that he had no regrets and would not go back on his word.

No one would have thought that Leng Rongrong actually knew Elder Qi. She was obviously a new actress who had never been seen before. But not only did she suddenly become the second female lead, she also managed to spend such a good time with Elder Qi.

Naturally, there were others who were envious.

“I won!” Leng Rongrong had successfully won against Elder Qi. She looked at him with a smile and said, “Elder Qi, we didn’t make any bet. Look, I won this time, but you didn’t give me anything. Am I at a loss?”

“It’s just for fun. Let’s forget about the bet, okay?” Elder Qi chuckled and began to act shamelessly.

Probably because he was old, Elder Qi was very cute when he acted shamelessly.

Leng Rongrong laughed out loud. “I’m just kidding with you. How would I dare to ask you for a bet? Elder Qi, let’s play again next time. I’m going to change my clothes. It’s my turn soon.”

“Alright,” he said. Although Elder Qi really wanted to pull Leng Rongrong into another round, he wasn’t someone who would mess around.

Having fun was naturally not as important as filming.

As soon as Leng Rongrong entered the changing room, she ran into the female lead who was also there to change.

The female lead was played by an actress named Gu Meiyue.

This Gu Meiyue was indeed very beautiful. Her face was so natural, and she had a fairy-like aura about her. She was very suitable for the role.

When Leng Rongrong entered the changing room, she could not help but exclaim at how beautiful Gu Meiyue was.

After all, she was obsessed with appearance, so even if she saw a beautiful woman, she would still feel a sense of joy.

Just as Leng Rongrong was about to greet Gu Meiyue, the latter suddenly looked at her and asked sarcastically, “You’re really something. You can even hook an old man.”

Leng Rongrong was speechless.

What did she mean?

Although she didn’t quite understand what Meiyue was saying, it didn’t sound like something good!

Just as Leng Rongrong was about to stop Gu Meiyue and ask her what she meant, her phone suddenly rang.

After a moment of hesitation, Leng Rongrong took a look at her phone.

Leng Rongrong was surprised when she saw that it was Leng Guantong.

Leng Guantong actually called her?

This was really a miracle.

This person had never treated her as a daughter, so why did he suddenly call her?

Leng Rongrong wanted to hang up, but after some thought, she picked it up. After all, it was a rare call. Since it was a call, she would like to hear what the other party had to say.

“Rongrong, why did you take so long to answer the phone?” Leng Guantong’s friendly voice came from the other end of the phone. It was so friendly that Leng Rongrong had goosebumps all over her body. She even wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

“Mr. Leng, what’s the matter?” Leng Rongrong asked coldly.
