The two of them just watched Xiao Tao empty out the bread in the refrigerator that was enough for them to last for a week with a mouthful of bread and a mouthful of water.
Jiang Xiyu went from shock at first to numbness. Watching Xiao Tao swallow the last bite of bread, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but say, "You should be full by now, right?"
Xiaotao rubbed the bread bag in her hand and smiled upward at the corner of her mouth, "I'm full."
Jiang Xi said: "..."
If this wasn't enough, she would suspect that this person had some kind of insufficiency disease.
"So, when are you going to visit your mother?"
She didn't know why, but since Xiao Tao came back, although she saw that this girl was still as silent as before, she still had an inexplicable feeling of heart attack.
I was quite happy that this girl was back. After all, she was used to being beaten and scolded, so she wouldn't dare to be so blatant if she changed someone else.
But for now, let Xiao Tao go see her seriously ill mother first, and maybe things will become normal when someone comes back.
"I'm going to leave soon."
Xiao Tao's answer made Jiang Xiyu breathe a sigh of relief, "That's just right. You fell asleep as soon as you came back and the suitcase hasn't been opened yet. If you want to leave, you can just pick up the suitcase and leave."
Xiao Tao nodded and took out her mobile phone from her pocket. She looked down and then looked up at Jiang Xiyu with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "Sister Xiaoyu, I have no money. I can advance part of my salary." Do you want to buy a plane ticket?”
Jiang Xiyu: "..." If she remembers correctly, this is the first time this girl has asked her for money so directly.
But she would be in a hurry to send the person away, "I'll transfer five thousand to you, and the rest will be treated as my filial aunt."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu."
As soon as the money arrived, Xiao Tao packed up her suitcase and walked out of the villa door neatly.
Jiang Xiyu watched her disappear and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
The phone in her hand that she had just transferred money suddenly vibrated. She looked down at the caller ID on the screen and quickly answered the call, "Cousin, I just want to tell you something. Xiaotao came back yesterday, but she just went out to take a plane again. Went to visit her mother. By the way, did you help pay for her mother’s medical and hospitalization expenses?”
"No, I called and asked a few days ago. They said that Xiaotao and his relatives had helped put the mat on, so I didn't care about it anymore. But it's not important. I want to tell you something great!" In the last sentence, the joy in Jiang Yuting's voice almost overflowed from the phone's microphone.
Jiang Xiyu was originally thinking about why she didn't know there were other relatives in Xiaotao's family. When she heard Jiang Yuting say there was a 'big good thing', she stopped thinking about anything else and couldn't wait to ask: "What big good thing?"
"Just now Lin Ying, the chief director of the cast of "The Legend of the Fallen", personally called me and said that there is a role that is particularly suitable for you. If you have the right time, you can join the cast right away."
Jiang Xiyu's heart suddenly beat violently. Could this be the job that person said on the phone that he would provide her with a job?
It's actually not an interview variety show, but a show like "The Legend of the Fallen". With an innate fan base and an international actress like Xu Qingmei, she can already book roles in the hit drama!
And if the chief director can make a phone call in person, this role will definitely be more important than the role of Qing Yuan in "Empress Yuan Zhao".
Even if she is not the heroine, she will definitely be a supporting actress with a lot of roles.
But when she lowered her head and saw her legs that were still in plaster, she suddenly felt a cold water pouring down on her, "But my legs..."
"Don't worry, of course I told Director Lin about your situation. By coincidence, that character happens to be a person who needs to use a wheelchair. It was a coincidence that the heroine recruited a talented but incompetent person. Your little apprentice. I think this role is tailor-made for you now!"
Jiang Xiyu felt happy for a while at first, but after the joy, there was a trace of panic that could not be ignored.
How could there be so many suitable roles in the world, and "The Legend of the Allure" was launched earlier than "Empress Yuan Zhao", so how could such a role fall on her sooner rather than later.
Is that friend of my aunt's power in the entertainment industry already as powerful as this?
And she couldn't believe that such a huge benefit would be given to him for free without any return.
But even if she knew there were traps that she hadn't expected, would she be willing to give up this opportunity?
Without even asking her heart seriously, Jiang Xiyu knew that she couldn't bear it.
The other party seemed to have calculated her psychology as well.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyu suppressed the indescribable panic in his heart and replied to Jiang Yuting, who was still excited on the other end of the phone: "Cousin, I accepted this role."
"Of course I want to take it. In "Empress Yuan Zhao", you only played the heroine's maid. In "The Legend of the Fallen City", you played the heroine's apprentice, and you also played opposite Xu Qingmei. How could you miss such a good opportunity?"
Hearing Jiang Yuting talk about Xu Qingmei, Jiang Xiyu's heart couldn't help but move, "Cousin, Director Lin called me before. Did you ask him how he thought of me to play this role?"
"Ah?" Jiang Yuting was confused by the question, "I didn't ask that. I was just happy at the time. No matter how he thought of you, this good opportunity fell on us."
"That's right." Jiang Xiyu didn't have much hope for Jiang Yuting in the first place, so he didn't feel disappointed when he heard her say this. "I'm satisfied to have such a good opportunity."
"Then I'll call Director Lin back, sooner rather than later. We'll join the team tomorrow."
As for what Jiang Xiyu told her about Xiao Tao's return, it had long been forgotten.
"Okay, then I'll pack my bags first."
As for the things she was curious about, she would have plenty of opportunities to ask them after she entered the set.
*
The crew of "The Legend of the Fallen City".
Lin Ying hung up the call from Jiang Yuting and looked back at Xu Qingmei, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely sipping coffee.
After two seconds of silence, he said in a calm tone: "Okay, Jiang Xiyu and her manager will come to the set early tomorrow morning."
Xu Qingmei put down the coffee cup in her hand and nodded lightly, "I'm sorry, Director Lin."
Lin Ying originally wanted to see something from Xu Qingmei's face, but it seemed that she still gave up, "I don't want to know why the original actor for the role of Yuxin proposed to terminate the contract, but I want to know why you recommended it. Jiang Xiyu."
Just yesterday, the actor who originally played Yu Xin suddenly proposed to terminate the contract, and even prepared a lot of the liquidated damages written in the contract.
As a director, he was caught off guard and couldn't even claim liquidated damages. In the end, he could only sign the termination contract.
As a result, he had just signed the contract and watched the actor leave. Before he could find other suitable actors, Xu Qingmei came over and recommended Jiang Xiyu to him.
This made it impossible for him not to suspect that the actor was forced away by Xu Qingmei just to make room for Jiang Xiyu.
After all, the timing was perfect.
But of these two people, one was an international star and the other was a top-notch actor who could only be considered a second-tier actor. Xu Qingmei would recommend Jiang Xiyu, which also puzzled him.
"I just think she's suitable." Xu Qingmei stood up from the sofa, met Lin Ying's scrutinizing eyes, and replied calmly without even moving her eyes.
Lin Ying: "..."
This perfunctory answer is really frustrating!
