Chapter 733 - Raise Your Head And Let Me Take A Look

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Hello Sister Jin, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Lu Jing bowed towards Yan Jinyi very politely.

“Raise your head and let me take a look at you.” Yan Jinyi waved her hand.

Lu Jing was somewhat puzzled and shocked because she felt as if Yan Jinyi was a lewd noble who was picking out a hostess at the brothel in?period drama.

Yan Jinyi thought that she was just being too straightforward so she continued smilingly, “Lu Jing, don’t be scared, I won’t do anything to you!”

“…”

Lu Jing looked up, finding Yan Jinyi to be even more beautiful than she looked in photos, now that she was looking at her up close.

In particular, Yan Jinyi was wearing a suit dress and the wide belt around her waist made it look extremely slender.

‘Does such a tiny waist really exist?’

While Lu Jing was sizing up Yan Jinyi, the latter was observing her too.

The girl’s features were quite ordinary but her skin was very fair and she had a special pair of eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly drooping and she looked really pitiful.

Her faint dimples could be seen when she smiled and she was indeed quite good-looking. Most importantly, she was barefaced at the moment.

“Lu Jing, can you spin around twice to let me take a look at you?”

Lu Jing asked in confusion, “Huh?”

“Lu Jing, quickly spin around. Don’t miss this opportunity,” Mr. Zhao urged.

He really liked Lu Jing and even if she couldn’t pass the audition to star in the drama series this time, she might get a chance in three years’ time if she could leave a good impression on Yan Jinyi!

Lu Jing nodded and spun around twice on the spot.

“Don’t be so stiff, just imagine that you are now taking part in a talent show at the imperial palace. Treat me as the emperor whom you have to please!” Yan Jinyi commanded smilingly.

“…”

Lu Jing tried to relax and then spun around twice on the spot.

“Not bad, come on, smile.”

“Take two steps and let me take a look at you. By the way, do a little dance too...”

Lu Jing was getting more and more bewildered. ‘So what exactly does Sister Jinyi intend to do?’

Yan Jinyi was finally satisfied and she said, “Not bad, not bad, I’ll pick you then.”

“S-Sister Jinyi, I’m a little confused about what you mean.”

Mr. Zhao chimed in, “Well, Jinyi is going to produce a TV series and you’ve been chosen as the female lead. Hurry up and thank Jinyi.”

‘Female lead? Me?’

Lu Jing said with a look of surprise, “But I’m bound by an artiste contract. I...”

Yan Jinyi put a hand on her shoulder and said, “Put your value to full play and show me that you’re an actress who’s worth being groomed. I’ll pay the compensation sum for the breach of contract for you.”

She was merely reminded of the original owner who had also been cheated by her artiste agency when she first joined the entertainment industry. Not only did she not earn any money, she even ended up having to compensate tens of thousands of yuan.

She still remembered that the sum of money was raised by Tan Sangsang who exhausted all her means to do so.

Lu Jing was even more astonished. ‘Did a godsend opportunity really fall into my lap, just like that?’

“Sister Jinyi, I-I’m still in college and I’m not sure I have the ability to...”

Yan Jinyi’s face turned sullen and she said, “If you don’t have any confidence in yourself, why do you still want to be an actress?”

Lu Jing hung her head low for a long time before suddenly making eye contact with Yan Jinyi. “Thank you, Sister Jinyi, I won’t let you down.”

Tao Wei was absolutely astounded when he learned that Yan Jinyi was actually willing to pay a compensation sum for an actress to “redeem herself”.

‘Has Second Young Mistress Huo had her soul replaced by someone else’s? When has she become so generous?’

She had to hesitate for a long time before deciding to invest five million yuan in her own TV series and yet, she was now willing to help a stranger she knew nothing about!

“Jinyi, are you sure it’s worth it? What if Mr. Zhao was just making an overstatement about her abilities? She has never acted before and she has at most gone on stage to sing some songs.”

Still enjoying her fruit juice, Yan Jinyi said, “But she has acted in stage plays!”
