Chapter 253: The promised job has arrived
Chapter 253 The promised work is here
The two of them just watched helplessly as Xiaotao emptied the refrigerator with a mouthful of bread and a mouthful of water, which was originally enough bread for them to last for a week.
Jiang Xiyu went from shock at first to numbness. Watching Xiao Tao swallow the last bite of bread, he couldn't help but say: "You should be full by now, right?"
Xiao Tao rubbed the bread bag in her hand and smiled upward at the corner of her mouth, "I'm full."
Jiangxi language: “…”
If this was not enough, she would suspect that this person had some kind of insufficiency disease.
“So, when are you going to see 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 always felt like she had an inexplicable heart attack.
At first, I was quite happy that this girl came 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 now, let Xiao Tao go see her seriously ill mother first, and maybe things will become normal when she 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." Buy a plane ticket?”
Jiang Xi said: "..." If she remembered correctly, this was the first time this girl had asked her for money so directly.
However, she was in a hurry to send the person away, "I will 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 left 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. I went to visit her mother. By the way, did you help pay for her mother’s medical expenses 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 that 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 City’, 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 not an interview variety show, but a show like “The Legend of the Fallen City”. 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 leg that was still in plaster, she suddenly felt a cold water pouring down on her, "But my leg..."
"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. "Young apprentice. I think this role is tailor-made for you now!"
Jiang Xiyu felt happy at first, but after the joy, there was a trace of panic that could not be ignored.
There are so many suitable roles in the world, and "The Legend of the Fallen City" was launched earlier than "Empress Yuan Zhao", so how could such a role fall on her sooner or later? Is your aunt’s friend already so powerful in the entertainment industry?
Moreover, 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 even she had not anticipated, 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. You only played the heroine's maid in "Empress Yuan Zhao", but in "The Legend of the Fallen" 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?"
"Huh?" 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, and 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 luggage 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 it turned out, 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 to leave by Xu Qingmei, just to make room for Jiang Xiyu.
After all, the timing is too good.
Of these two people, one is an international star and the other is a top-notch actor who can only reach the second tier. 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!
