Chapter 376 Willow Dark Flower Bright Another Village

Zhang Li narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had anticipated something, and the smile on her lips completely faded: "Director Zhang, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush."

Zhang Peng sighed and slowly tightened his grip on the cup.

"I was a little hesitant before coming here. I didn't know whether my choice to go to the appointment was right or wrong. Regarding this cooperation, I am really sorry..." Zhang Peng's face was full of apology, and he lowered his head slightly: " I'm sorry that I have to break my promise. I already have other candidates for the heroine of my movie, so I'm afraid I can no longer fulfill my promise."

Jiang Ni's eyes gradually became colder, but he kept a smile on his face: "Can I ask the reason?"

"I'm sorry." Zhang Peng made it clear that he didn't want to answer.

Zhang Li was already furious. She said in a cold voice: "Our artists have turned down a lot of announcements to prepare for this movie. Director Zhang, you just dismissed us with an apology? You don't want to say the specific reason. This is not Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Peng just said sorry: "I will come to apologize in person some other day, but this heroine...I'm afraid..."

He changed his words: "Xiao Jiang is an excellent actor. I believe we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Let's forget it. We don't want to have such a bad cooperation experience again." Zhang Li was obviously angry. She stood up and looked in Jiang Ni's direction: "Xiao Jiang is gone."

Jiang Ni picked up her bag and looked at Zhang Peng: "Director Zhang, could you please tell me who the actor you have chosen is?"

Zhang Peng's eyes flashed: "Jiang Jingyi."

A flash of understanding and coldness flashed in Jiang Ni's eyes.

Zhang Li stepped on the accelerator and said with anger in her voice: "Zhang Peng is obviously playing tricks on people. It's a pity that it was only a verbal promise at the time, otherwise he would have to pay liquidated damages!"

Jiang Ni sat in the passenger seat, lowering her eyes and wondering what she was thinking.

"I remember that Jiang Jingyi seems to be... your family's illegitimate daughter?"

Jiang Ni hummed softly: "It's her."

"I always feel that this matter is not easy. How could such a good role be cut off by her? Zhang Peng is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune. It is not that easy to bribe him. So what method did Jiang Jingyi use to snatch this role? ? Ask Zhang Peng and he won’t tell you, it’s really a headache.”

Thinking of what Jiang Jingyi did in the past, Jiang Ni's eyes became darker, and suddenly she took out her mobile phone.

Zhang Li asked: "What are you doing?"

"Open up the relationship and replace Jiang Jingyi."

"This..." Zhang Li stopped the car: "It probably won't work. As I said before, Zhang Peng is not a director who can be bribed."

"Then change the director."

Zhang Li nodded in approval.

Before Jiang Ni had time to send, she was interrupted by the ringtone of her cell phone. This was an unfamiliar number from the capital.

"Hey?"

"Is this Ms. Jiang Ni?" An old voice came from the other side. He coughed twice: "I'm Chong Yiming. I have a movie I want to talk to you about. I wonder if you have time?"

"Taka...Yoshiaki-sensei?"

Jiang Ni almost suspected that she had heard wrongly, but the voice coming from the other side of the receiver was indeed Mr. Chong's voice, which was almost the same as a few years ago.

Due to the close position, Jiang Ni's voice from the receiver also fell into Zhang Li's ears. It took her two seconds to react, with disbelief on her face.Chong Yiming is a well-known veteran artist and director in China. He was awarded the Medal of Honor by the country three years ago.All of the films he directed are classics, and the actors who were lucky enough to play the protagonists in his films are now A-list celebrities.

He has not been active in the entertainment industry for a long time. 20 years ago, the media exposed that his only relative, his only daughter, died of depression. Chongyi knew how to send someone with black hair.Not long after the incident passed, Chonglao announced his retirement from the entertainment industry and has lived in seclusion since then, rarely appearing in front of the media.He has created one classic after another and is the youth of countless people. Many people sighed after hearing this sad news. There are still many die-hard fans looking forward to Chong Lao's return to the world.

"It's me." Chong Yiming's voice was old but kind. "If you are willing, you can come to my manor at two o'clock in the afternoon to discuss it. I will ask my assistant Xiaoma to send you the address later."

Jiang Ni still didn't recover until she hung up the phone. She looked in disbelief at the phone that had just ended the call.

Zhang Li hissed: "Isn't it a scam call?"

The bell rang, and a text message was sent.

Seeing that Jiang Ni had turned on her phone, Zhang Li reminded her: "If there is a link, don't click on it."

Don’t blame Zhang Li for thinking too much, this is really like AI fraud.A leading figure who had retired for many years suddenly called and said he wanted to cooperate.

Jiang Ni checked it carefully: "The address above looks real..."

Zhang Li leaned over and took a look. She couldn't hold back the surprise in her heart: "It's not really Mr. Chong, is it?" She thought calmly and said, "Let's go take a look in the afternoon and bring two more bodyguards."

Jiang Ni nodded in agreement, and the original unsent message was temporarily deleted by her.

She had a new idea. She would rob Jiang Jingyi whenever she liked, but she would still use her strength to tell her that no matter when Jiang Jingyi would never be able to catch up with her, she would only be defeated by her own men.

According to the address on the text message, Jiang Ni and Zhang Li quickly found this place.

The security guard at the door saw Jiang Ni and said hurriedly: "Is this Ms. Jiang? Please wait a moment, I will call Mr. Chong right now."

In less than 2 minutes, a butler in a tuxedo walked over. He bent down and bowed: "Mr. Chong is waiting for you inside. Please follow me."

Jiang Ni gradually confirmed the authenticity of this incident. She and Zhang Li looked at each other, and both saw shock and joy in each other's eyes.

Jiang Ni nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

The living room was decorated in a typical Chinese style, with aromatherapy burning. An old man in a platinum Tang suit sat on the floor with his back to them, and his white beard could be faintly glimpsed.

"Please come in, Mr. Chong is waiting for you two inside."

"Thank you."

Hearing the sound behind him, Chong Yiming turned around and poured two cups of tea himself: "Please sit down."

Jiang Ni and Zhang Li sat down. As soon as she put down her bag, she saw Chong Yiming opposite her looking at her without blinking. His eyes were moist, as if he was looking at someone through her.

Jiang Ni's heart was slightly touched. The gray-haired old man suddenly shed tears. Jiang Ni was a little at a loss: "Chonglao?"

Chong Yiming took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth, stroking his heart and coughing twice.

Zhang Li asked: "Mr. Chong, are you okay?"

Chong Yiming took a sip of tea, closed his eyes slightly and then opened them.
