After being reborn, I also want to fall in love

Chapter 366 I and the thief Cao are irreconcilable
Zhao Mianmian did not put all her hopes on Xiao Dong's words. After learning that she could not participate in the production of the film and television company under Mimi Technology, she immediately called her best friend Ling'er and found her friend in the production team.

A cafe near Mimi Technology.

Ling'er sat with Zhao Mianmian, and Ling'er comforted Zhao Mianmian who was still sobbing softly, then complained to the buddy opposite: "Aji, what's going on? Didn't you hear any inside information?"

Ah Ji is also a young man. He spread his hands helplessly and said, "I really don't know. Although I am from the production company, this company is also controlled by Mimi Technology, but there are several layers between us."

"The production company is controlled by Mimi Pictures, which is under the Entertainment and Platforms Business Group. I didn't even have a chance to meet the CEO of Mimi Pictures, let alone the CEO of the Entertainment and Platforms Business Group."

"Big companies have so many twists and turns." Ling'er couldn't help but complain.

"Of course. As a large Internet company, I am just a screw in the downstream of the Mimi Technology industry chain at best."

Ah Ji stroked his chin and glanced at Zhao Mianmian: "Your best friend said that the order was given by the top management of the group, so it must be at least a director-level figure."

"So, have you offended someone?" Aji looked at Zhao Mianmian.

Zhao Mianmian raised her head and said, "No, I have always lived in the capital. How could I have offended someone in Mingzhou?"

"That's weird."

Ah Ji sighed and said, "How about this, I'll introduce you to the publicity director of Mimi Pictures. If that doesn't work, you can only go to Du Shuo."

Mr. Shuo! ?

Zhao Mianmian suddenly remembered something.

Lu Zhengming had mentioned this brilliant young man to him more than once before. Even though he was not very polite and his words were unpleasant to the ears, he had never denied Chen Shuo's achievements.

And from what Lu Zhengming said, the conflict between him and Chen Shuo was very deep.

Could it be because of Lao Lu?
Zhao Mianmian suddenly realized that if this was the reason, then it would be useless to look for anyone else unless she found Chen Shuo directly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mianmian took a deep breath, and left without saying hello to Ling'er and Aji.

Walking on the way to the private restaurant, Zhao Mianmian made up her mind that no matter what, she would try her best to win back the two roles that originally belonged to her.

When they arrived at the private restaurant, Zhao Mianmian spotted Xiao Dong at a glance.

"Mr. Dong." Zhao Mianmian stepped forward and greeted him politely.

Xiao Dong was instructing the waiter Chen Shuo about some dietary restrictions when he saw Zhao Mianmian and took her to the parking lot.

"Mr. Shuo's car will stop here later."

Xiao Dong said to Zhao Mianmian: "If you want to seize the opportunity, just wait here."

"There's nothing else I can do to help."

Zhao Mianmian nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Dong, I, I really don't know how to repay you, how about I give you some money?"

"No need." Xiao Dong waved his hand and glanced at Zhao Mianmian. "The principle of our company's employment is to never give up until the last moment. I'm helping you because of your determination. It has nothing to do with anything else."

"To put it bluntly, President Shuo likes people like you who persevere, so I am willing to take the risk and provide this opportunity."

After listening to this, Zhao Mianmian couldn't help but feel emotional. With her identity that was not visible to the public, she rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with emotions and words like innocence and passion. But in Xiao Dong, she felt the long-lost sincerity.

"Thank you, Mr. Dong. May I know your full name?"

"My name is Dong Liang."

As he was talking, a waiter came over with a business lunch box and said politely, "Manager Dong, this is your meal."

"Thank you." Dong Liang took the lunch box and handed it to Zhao Mianmian. "According to the agreed time, Mr. Shuo and his team will not be here for nearly an hour. You should eat something first."

Then he pointed to a BMW 5 Series next to him and said, "That's my car. You can sit inside and eat."

"how about you?"

"It's inappropriate for a man and a woman to be in the same room together."

"."

In today's world, there are not many decent men like him, Zhao Mianmian thought.

Although dull, it's kind of cute.

This is a bit of a prisoner's mentality. Facing Dong Liang, who can help her, Zhao Mianmian will inevitably look at him differently.

Zhao Mianmian was indeed hungry. She had stayed up all night last night and only slept for three or four hours before getting up for the interview. Until now, she had not eaten a single bite except for the half cup of coffee she had just had.

Sitting in the BMW 5 Series, Zhao Mianmian opened the lunch box, which contained three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, still steaming.

The food in the business lunch boxes is very exquisite, all cooked freshly. The price of such a lunch box is not cheap, and the more expensive ones are around a few hundred yuan.

While eating the exquisite meal, Zhao Mianmian kept organizing what she was going to say when she met Chen Shuo later. After waiting for more than an hour, she finally saw two cars approaching.

A black Rolls-Royce and a business car.

Zhao Mianmian rushed to the window of the black Rolls-Royce without saying a word. As everyone knows, the body of the Rolls-Royce is very high, so Zhao Mianmian didn't even need to bend down.

"Hello, Mr. Shuo, I'm Zhao Mianmian. Sorry to bother you. May I ask if you can..."

The car window slowly rolled down, and a middle-aged woman's face suddenly appeared, with a puzzled look on her face: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Mianmian: “?”

At this time, the people in the business car at the back also got out. They were the producer and director.

The director recognized Zhao Mianmian and immediately stepped forward, saying to the middle-aged woman who had already gotten out of the car in a gentle tone, "Mr. Shang, this is..."

"I know."

The person who got off the car was naturally Shang Xiaoling, the public relations director of Mimi Technology. She was responsible for accompanying Chen Shuo to attend the banquet to entertain the producers.

"You are Zhao Mianmian, right?"

"I'm Shang Xiaoling, the public relations director of Mimi Technology. I was the one who issued the order to refuse your participation in the film and television series."

Shang Xiaoling had no expression on her face and said casually, "I can probably guess why you are here. I understand your feelings, but I'm sorry, you should know best why you were rejected."

Zhao Mianmian felt as if her blood was flowing backwards.

Sure enough, it was because of Lu Zhengming!
Originally, Zhao Mianmian was very open-minded about being a mistress or something like that. There are many people in this world who stick to their principles, but few of them can live a good life.

She was in her twenties and owned several properties and shops in the capital at a young age. Even if she did nothing in the second half of her life, she could earn two to three million yuan a year just by sitting back and doing the rent from those shops. Zhao Mianmian was quite satisfied with this.

But now, because of her relationship with Lu Zhengming, Zhao Mianmian has lost the closest opportunity to pursue her dream.

At this moment, facing Shang Xiaoling's questioning, she was almost speechless.

"Mr. Shang, I..."

"Hey, why are you all standing outside? Why don't you come in and order food first?"

The roar of a motorcycle engine came from far away, and a red Ducati stopped in front of everyone. The man driving the car was dressed in a suit and tie. He took off his safety helmet with both hands, revealing his handsome face.

"What's going on?" Chen Shuo asked with a smile.

Chen, Chen Shuo?

Zhao Mianmian looked at Chen Shuo, somewhat dejected.

In her opinion, this order must have been given by Chen Shuo to Shang Xiaoling to inform the director team. What else could she give to make this gifted man change his mind?

Use your body?

"Hello, President Shuo. I am Zhao Mianmian." Zhao Mianmian bowed deeply to Chen Shuo, "Please, President Shuo, please give me a chance for an interview!"

Chen Shuo was confused: "Who is Zhao Mianmian?"

Zhao Mianmian: “?”

Wait, he doesn't know me?
Zhao Mianmian looked up in surprise. Chen Shuo didn't even know me, how could...
"Mr. Shuo, it's like this." Shang Xiaoling walked to Chen Shuo and whispered in his ear.

Zhao Mianmian carefully observed the changes in Chen Shuo's expression, and her emotions were constantly fluctuating.

Everyone has this experience. When facing a very outstanding person with a good image, you will involuntarily want to package yourself better. It is almost a subconscious reaction. For example, when a beautiful woman walks by, you will suddenly become serious and speak in a lower voice. After the beautiful woman has passed, you will turn your head to admire her back.

Shang Xiaoling must be telling Chen Shuo about my relationship with Lao Lu...
For some reason, Zhao Mianmian felt a strong sense of inferiority in her heart.

Shang Xiaoling whispered in her ear and resumed her normal voice: "That's why I took the initiative and chose to refuse her from joining the filming."

"That's right."

Chen Shuo suddenly realized and looked at Zhao Mianmian meaningfully: "That's really unfortunate."

Zhao Mianmian was already in despair.

"but.."

Chen Shuo looked at the director and said, "Director Zheng, do you think Ms. Zhao Mianmian can handle these two roles?"

Director Zheng looked at Chen Shuo, then at Shang Xiaoling, and opened his mouth but stopped talking.

After a few seconds, Director Zheng sighed and looked at Chen Shuo: "Mr. Shuo, I am only considering this from a professional casting perspective. Zhao Mianmian is very suitable for those two roles, but she is not irreplaceable."

"Okay, I see what you mean."

Chen Shuo waved his hand, glanced at Zhao Mianmian, and said to Director Zheng: "Aren't your schedules very tight? Just decide on the one that's suitable, and don't waste time choosing."

"Mr. Shuo, but she is..." Shang Xiaoling couldn't help but speak.

Chen Shuo glanced at Shang Xiaoling: "What does the conflict between men have to do with women?"

After saying that, Chen Shuo laughed a few times: "The problem is solved, let's go and have dinner."

"Thank you, President Shuo, thank you, President Shuo!" Zhao Mianmian kept bowing, feeling extremely happy.

Chen Shuo just glanced at her and walked straight towards the restaurant.

Damn it, Lu Zhengming has a really bad eye. It should be said that Zhao Mianmian's appearance and figure are both "round", which is very popular in real life, but she would look a bit fat on camera.

Oh my god, she’s an even better version of Shiromine Miu.

With that light clamp of the fleshy wine glass legs, wouldn't that old bastard Lu Zhengming surrender instantly?

Alas, all the good women have been fucked by dogs.

Chen Shuo felt very sad. He wondered why he couldn't create a clone. If he could, the beauties in the world wouldn't have to suffer such grievances.

I, Ashuo, can make everyone happy!

However, Chen Shuo did not have the idea of ​​being a fellow traveler with Lu Zhengming.

Besides, Zhao Mianmian is just a part of Chen Shuo's play of Lu Zhengming.

It was not until she watched Chen Shuo walk into the restaurant that Zhao Mianmian was completely relieved. She excitedly wanted to tell her best friend Ling'er the good news. When she was about to take out her cell phone, someone called her from afar.

"Mianmian, is that you?"

Zhao Mianmian looked up and saw a beautiful woman and an ordinary man walking towards her.

"Wu Fei?"

"It's me. What a coincidence. Are you here to eat too?"

Wu Fei trotted forward with a smile, and took the initiative to introduce the man next to her: "This is my good friend Jiang Hengda, Xiao Jiang, and she is Zhao Mianmian. We attended the interview together these two days, and we both got the role."

Both Zhao Mianmian and Wu Fei passed the casting interview and exchanged WeChat accounts with each other.

Newcomers or young actors like them attach great importance to connections, because many times they can secure roles through introductions from friends or a meeting with the director.

"Hello Xiaofei, hello, Mr. Jiang." Zhao Mianmian greeted politely.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Why don't you go in?" Wu Fei asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, nothing, I'm not here to eat, I'm just passing by." Zhao Mianmian didn't know how to tell Wu Fei, so she could only pass it by.

Then he asked Wu Fei: "Are you here for the dinner?"

Wu Fei explained with a smile: "I guess so. Didn't I pass the casting interview? Xiao Jiang brought me to the dinner. Mr. Shuo from Mimi Technology and the director team are all here."

Hearing this, Zhao Mianmian looked at Jiang Hengda in surprise.

It looks ordinary, but I didn't expect the relationship to be so strong.

"Xiao Jiang is Mr. Shuo's roommate, a good buddy." Wu Fei raised her eyebrows and waved to Zhao Mianmian, "If you have nothing else, we'll go in first. Bye~"

"Xiao Fei!"

Zhao Mianmian suddenly shouted, ran forward and begged, "It's like this, I almost lost the opportunity to participate in the show because of some problems before, and it was President Shuo who asked me to rejoin the group. You, your friends and President Shuo are good friends, can I be shameless and ask you for a favor, so that I can go and toast President Shuo?"

"what?"

Wu Fei was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

As she spoke, Wu Fei subconsciously looked at Jiang Hengda.

Jiang Hengda smiled faintly: "What's inappropriate? I brought the person in, and Ah Shuo will not kick you out. It's just a toast, it's not a big deal."

"follow me."

Suddenly, Zhao Mianmian felt that Jiang Hengda was extremely tall and handsome.

Sure enough, when looking at a man, you cannot look at his face. The face is the most useless thing.

The result was just as Jiang Hengda said. After Zhao Mianmian followed him in, she smoothly toasted Chen Shuo with a glass of wine. She glanced and found that Dong Liang was also at the table.

"Now that you're here, let's sit down and eat together." Chen Shuo said.

So Zhao Mianmian sat next to Dong Liang.

"Mr. Dong, nice to meet you again." After Zhao Mianmian finished toasting, she whispered to Dong Liang, "Thank you for your help. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Dong Liang still looked mature and steady, and said calmly: "Congratulations."

At the dinner table, Zhao Mianmian discovered one thing: the producers and the director team really had no choice but to kowtow in front of Chen Shuo.

Even to Dong Liang, he was polite and called him Manager Dong.

Moreover, she was also keenly aware that the relationship between Wu Fei and Jiang Hengda was definitely special. Because of this relationship, the director and the producer were extremely polite to Wu Fei, and even the director had to toast Wu Fei.

It seems that the so-called audition was just a formality.

So envious
Zhao Mianmian sighed in her heart, I wish I could have a backer like this.

Chen Shuo?
Zhao Mianmian didn't dare to think about it and felt that she should find a more suitable candidate to ensure that similar things would not happen again in the future.

But if I do that, I have to cut ties with Lao Lu?

But I'll just cut it off. I've made enough money anyway. I was committed to Lao Lu before. It was for money.

But now, Zhao Mianmian has a longer-term vision. She feels that it is time to sacrifice her youth and body for her dream.

"Oh, by the way, I have something to announce."

Chen Shuo suddenly spoke, looked towards Zhao Mianmian, and said, "Xiao Dong, stand up."

Dong Liang beside him stood up immediately.

"Dong Liang, the senior director of the public relations department of the group headquarters, I signed a transfer order this afternoon. Starting tomorrow, he will be the vice president of Mimi Pictures."

Chen Shuo smiled and said, "The group is about to undergo a round of restructuring. Director Shang will be promoted to executive vice president. The external public relations department needs a strong successor. I hope Xiaodong can grow quickly through this rotation."

Vice President of Mimi Pictures! ?

Zhao Mianmian was stunned for a moment, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Dong Liang changed.
