The silver-colored suit that Lu Jingzhi wore to visit his uncle was not suitable for a business meeting. Therefore, the both of them headed back to the villa to have a light dinner at home before they changed out of their clothes and headed out again.
Lu Jingzhi spent most of his time at work and attending business meetings, which was why half of his wardrobe was filled with custom-made black suits.
As they were reaching the vicinity of the national defence building, Jiang Yuning asked the driver to stop the car. She was not afraid of getting recognized because this was a brand-new development zone and there were not many people around the area.
Instead, Jiang Yuning was afraid that it would ruin Lu Jingzhi’s reputation if it was made known that there was a woman waiting in his car.
“There is a small cafe located opposite the national defence building. I will just head there to wait for you. I think that Guangying Media has already sent me the script for the audition of the new youth drama series. I will just run through the script while I wait.”
Lu Jingzhi understood her concerns and therefore asked the driver to step out of the car and follow Jiang Yuning to make sure that she was safe. He then drove the car off by himself to the national defence building.
Jiang Yuning had no other choice but to allow the driver to stay back with her.
After arriving at the small cafe, Jiang Yuning took out her cell phone and opened up her mailbox. Her assumption was right—she saw that she had already received the audition script from Guangying Media. The drama was titled <Backlight> and it was a story about rebellious young boy who was extremely talented at high jump. After going through a series of practices and tests, he eventually become an inspirational story for all national athletes out there.
Gu Pingsheng had very high vision and expectations for his production. Every drama and film produced by Guangying Media had to be thoroughly reviewed by him before they could be put into production.Therefore, any production by Guangying Media was usually exceptional.
Jiang Yuning thought about all the actresses and actors who had participated in previous Guangying Media productions and realized that they had all became extremely popular and that all of their reputations were good. Jiang Yuning could not think of a reason for why Gu Pingsheng had allowed her to audition for a role in his new drama production. Perhaps he had only offered her the chance because he could not say no to second brother and had not wanted to reject her in front of him. Therefore, he had asked her to audition so that she would know for herself that she was not good enough to join their production.
Jiang Yuning studied the script carefully. After much consideration, she eventually decided that the female lead character of the drama did not have enough attitude and character for her to portray and so, she decided that she would audition for the role of the second female lead instead.
Even though she was only going to audition for the role of the second female lead, Jiang Yuning still felt guilty as she felt unworthy of the role.
She knew that each and every drama produced by Guangying Media would usually be noticed from the beginning to the end, and she was afraid that she would affect the ratings and credibility of the drama if she were to be a part of it.
Jiang Yuning felt uneasy just thinking about it.
As she was diligently studying the script, Jiang Yuning suddenly received a phone call from Fu Yahui. There was a sense of urgency in Fu Yahui’s tone as she spoke to Jiang Yuning. “I have just heard the news from Huo Yuxi’s agent. I heard that you rejected his invitation to join Millennium Entertainment. What is the matter with you? Don’t you want to be an actress anymore?”
“Mom, if Huo Yuxi’s agent could treat me that way earlier, do you think that he would ever be nice to me even after I join Millennium Entertainment officially?” Jiang Yuning calmly replied to Fu Yahui.
“I have already gone through what you have achieved in the entertainment industry for the past few years. If there are no other entertainment agencies that will employ you, then just give up already. I will give you a position in Dongheng Enterprise and you can work for me then.”
“Me? A mere high school graduate?” Jiang Yuning asked as she laughed.
Fu Yahui was silent for a short while. She too felt that it would be inappropriate for Jiang Yuning to work in Dongheng Enterprise as she had no qualifications at all.
However, Fu Yahui never once felt that she was the reason Jiang Yuning never got the chance to further her education.
“Mom can also pull some strings to help you to get into another entertainment agency here. Although the influence of that agency is currently not that massive in the entertainment industry, I think that it should be good enough for you.”
“Which agency are you referring to?” Jiang Yuning asked out of curiosity.
“Rui Sheng. You are blacklisted and your reputation is already tarnished, so you should work on clearing your name first. Rui Sheng is well-known for giving their artistes a brand-new image and a clean reputation.”
Jiang Yuning wanted to know how Fu Yahui knew so much about the entertainment industry even though she was a business woman. She wondered if Fu Yahui had purposely done her research on the industry just so she could suppress her and exert some form of control over her.
Rui Sheng…that entertainment agency was indeed well-known for giving their artistes a brand-new start and a clean reputation. However, most of their artistes were overworked, with even news in the past of an artiste dying on set after working for seven days continuously. Even to this day, the family members of that artiste had not gotten justice for her wrongful death. If Fu Yahui wanted her to join Rui Sheng, she must really not care for her at all.
“Why don’t you think about it? You can come and discuss it with me after you have made your decision.”
“Why don’t we talk about it after Huo Yuxi’s wedding?” Jiang Yuning quickly replied. “After all, I am also tired after working so hard for the past few years. I do not mind taking a short break from the entertainment industry.”
“Okay, then. Please remember that you have promised me that you will not do anything to ruin your elder sister’s wedding.”
“Yes, I promise.” Jiang Yuning was not actually lying because she intended to only release the news of Lu Zongye’s true heritage the day after the wedding.
“Your elder sister’s agency will be releasing news about their wedding tomorrow and it would inevitably involve you. Try to be generous and gracious towards your sister and don’t create any trouble on the internet, okay?”
“It will depend on what matter they are implicating me into this time,” Jiang Yuning replied indifferently. “Mom, if there is nothing else, I am going to hang up now.”
Although she had promised not to let Jiang Yuning down again in the future, it was obvious that Fu Yahui was still taking Huo Yuxi’s side.
Did Fu Yahui want to stop her from creating any trouble when Millennium Entertainment made the wedding announcement tomorrow? That would depend on whether Millennium Entertainment knew how to keep their stories straight!
Jiang Yuning did not let these irrelevant matters get to her and instead focused on reading the script for the next two and a half hours. She finally stopped going through the script when Lu Jingzhi called her at nine thirty, having driven the car over to the cafe. “Come out now.”
Jiang Yuning quickly put her cell phone away and walked out to the car together with the driver. She was extremely cautious because she did not want to cause any harm to Lu Jingzhi’s reputation.
After getting into the car, Jiang Yuning saw that Lu Jingzhi did not seem very excited at all. She assumed that it was because he was tired from the business meeting and hence did not bother him throughout their entire journey back to the villa.
Halfway through the journey, Lu Jingzhi suddenly asked the driver to stop the car by the seaside. He then instructed the driver to leave.
There was only the sound of their breathing in the darkness at that moment.
“Second…” Before Jiang Yuning could finish her sentence, Lu Jingzhi covered her mouth with his hand and then started removing her coat aggressively.
“What is happening?” Jiang Yuning’s first thought was that someone had provoked Lu Jingzhi, but she did not know what was happening exactly.
“Nothing is wrong. I just want to feel the touch of your lips on me right now,” Lu Jingzhi said as he nibbled gently on her ears. “I started thinking about your touch last night and I still cannot stop thinking about it right now. I crave your touch so badly that my body is hurting all over.”
But they were still in the car!
Jiang Yuning felt somewhat uncomfortable, but she did not reject Lu Jingzhi’s kisses and advances. It seemed as though there was nothing wrong with experiencing their first sexual intercourse in the car. It would be very exciting for the both of them.
“Is this what you have arranged for the night?” Jiang Yuning asked suddenly.
“Of course not.” Lu Jingzhi finally stopped kissing Jiang Yuning and he quickly covered up her naked body with his coat. He then started driving back to the villa as fast as he could.
As soon as they arrived at the villa, Lu Jingzhi hurriedly got out of the car and carried Jiang Yuning in his arms. Lu Jingzhi then hastily put Jiang Yuning down and pushed her against the front door.
“Let’s go into the villa first…go into the villa first,” Jiang Yuning said.
Lu Jingzhi took out his set of house keys and quickly unlocked the front door. He could no longer control his urges.
Jiang Yuning loved the fact that Lu Jingzhi was out of control. As soon as they entered the living room, Lu Jingzhi took his coat off Jiang Yuning and threw it onto the floor.
Lu Jingzhi rubbed his knee against Jiang Yuning’s private part as he whispered into her ears, “Do you want it?”
“Yes, I do,” Jiang Yuning replied as she panted heavily.
“It will be very painful, but I have a way to reduce the pain.” Without any hesitation, Lu Jingzhi then carried Jiang Yuning up to the bedroom on the second floor. After putting her down on the bed, he then took a small item that had a pair of earphones attached to it from the bedside drawer and then placed the earphones into Jiang Yuning’s ears.
Jiang Yuning started blushing as soon as she heard the audio.
“You want me to listen to this?”
