Chapter 224: You Know My Price

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sheng Ting was with the filming team and the director was just beside him. His ear was almost glued to his phone.

He glanced at the director and spoke softly. “Yesterday, the director saw photos of you on the Weibo trend list. He said that no one’s appearance would be more suitable for this than you.”

Gu Mang’s style in Sheng Ting’s MV was glamorous and charming. The director never thought that he would invite her to act in his film. Gu Mang rejected all the job offers from various major agencies. Back then, Gu Mang had been very popular but she refused to step into the entertainment industry. Also, she was a designer of Lan Ting. That time she appeared in Sheng Ting’s MV was just because she had been in a good mood.

When the director coincidentally saw the photo of Gu Mang in her school uniform on Weibo yesterday, he had been stunned. The previous female star had called to apologize to him last night, saying that she could not film with him anymore. The first person he thought of for a replacement was Gu Mang.

Gu Mang flicked the ashes away and thought about her bank card balance. In a lazy tone, she said, “You know my price.”

Sheng Ting could tell that the girl was in a rather good mood at the moment. He answered immediately. “I know.”

He had told the director about Gu Mang’s prices before. They weren’t cheap. The director could accept that. It was just that he thought that Gu Mang would not come to the school for filming because she had issues with the students at the Experimental High School. Hearing Gu Mang’s price request, he was a little excited. Was he going to get what he wanted?

“How long would five scenes take?” Gu Mang spoke softly. “Finals are coming. I’m quite busy.”

Sheng Ting looked at the director.

The director thought about it and gave two thumbs up. “Tomorrow and the day after.”

It was a supporting role. The kind where she appeared for a glimpse. No face was more suitable for this role than Gu Mang’s.

Sheng Ting said, “Tomorrow and the day after. You can apply for leave on Monday and this will be done in two days.”

“Sure.” Gu Mang extinguished the cigarette and threw it in the dustbin. “Gotta go.”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

After hanging up, Gu Mang turned around and saw that Lei Cong was still waiting for her at the entrance. She raised her eyebrow and put her phone in her pocket. “Let’s go and eat.”

Lei Cong nodded and entered with her. He thought for a while and spoke up. “Sister Gu Mang, you smoke?”

Gu Mang smirked, looking a little bad. Then she looked to the side with her sly and pretty eyes. “I have never been a good student.”

Lei Cong was speechless. Before leaving Changning County, Gu Mang took out an autographed album of Sheng Ting from her backpack and handed it to Third Uncle’s daughter, Qi Qi. The girl was really happy to receive and she wouldn’t let go of it. Third Uncle drove them to the airport.

...

It was 10pm.

Gu Mang walked out of Ming City Airport and saw Lu Chengzhou’s car outside. He got out of the car and walked towards her. When Lei Xiao saw Lu Chengzhou, his mind went black instantly. He did not dare to look him in the eye and he avoided eye contact subconsciously.

Lei Xiao’s driver had driven over too. He walked towards them and greeted them respectfully. “Division Chief Lei, Madam, Young Master, and Cousin.”

Xia Mingzhu nodded but she was looking at Lu Chengzhou.

There is still such a charming person in Ming City? Lu Chengzhou walked to Gu Mang and took the backpack from her. He looked at her thin, pale neck. There wasn’t a scarf wrapped around it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He spoke softly. “Are you cold?”

“A little.” Gu Mang pushed her baseball cap up a little, revealing her beautiful eyes. She frowned slightly. “I didn’t think that it would get so cold today.”

The weather forecast was not accurate. It said that it would be warm today. Chunning City was way colder than Ming City.

Lu Chengzhou held her slightly cold hands. “Let’s get in the car first.”

Gu Mang assented with a long ending tone. They held hands as they walked to the car. She got in the passenger’s seat, totally ignoring the four people behind her.
