148 This Call Was Odd

Qiao Mianmian grabbed her hand and smiled. Alright, Luo Luo, ignore them. Lets go.

Jiang Luoli nodded and then sighed. Girls are terrifying when they get jealous. Baby, I think they hate you to the core now. Youd better be careful. I have a feeling they might be up to something soon.

Especially Bai Xiao.

The glare she shot Qiao Mianmian before she left was pretty scary.

Qiao Mianmian didnt have many lessons in the morning. Her morning classes ended at just a little past 10.

Shed just walked out of the classroom when she received a call.

Miss Qiao, were calling from Star Entertainment Film Company. Weve got a female lead character that requires a substitute recently, and we think youd be suitable for that role. Would you have any interest in this?

Qiao Mianmian was a little taken aback.

She was stunned for a few seconds before asking, Star Entertainment Film Company?

Yes.

I dont think I sent my resum to your company.

Qiao Mianmian had heard about Star Entertainment before.

It was one of the larger film companies around.

Qiao Mianmian hadnt received any gigs in a while.

Thered been fewer production crews, and even the top tier actors and actresses didnt have many opportunities, much less a small player like her.

She usually took up jobs in smaller work studios and the like. It surprised her that a large company like Star Entertainment would call her out of the blue.

Shed never sent them any resume, nor had she gone for an interview with them. How did Star Entertainment get her number?

Before she figured it out, the man on the other end said, A friend of mine recommended you to us. Miss Qiao, have you considered? Well definitely offer you a price youre satisfied with.

Upon hearing that, Qiao Mianmian did not think too deeply about it.

She considered it seriously and then replied, Im sorry, Im not really familiar with the role of a substitute.

The other party seemed to have been stunned by her response. He asked a few seconds later, Miss Qiao, are you rejecting this offer?

Qiao Mianmian said, Im sorry, I dont think Im suitable for this.

If she hadnt been married to Mo Yesi, shed definitely be in need of money now.

Qiao Chens surgery cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and she wouldve needed to work to pay it off.

She wouldnt have rejected this job.

But now

She had a Black Card in her hand, with an expenditure cap in the millions of yuan. She didnt want to take on jobs that had no help in her future prospects anymore.

Shed rather have her previous gigs and part-time jobs than be a substitute.

At least, appearing on screen for a few scenes would give her some exposure.

Being someones substitute wouldnt help her at all.

Miss Qiao, youre sure about this?

Yes.

The other party kept quiet for a while and then said, Alright, then. Since thats the case, we wont insist. This is my work cell phone number. Miss Qiao can give me a call if you change your mind.

Qiao Mianmian replied, Alright.

After she hung up, Jiang Luoli asked, Baby, was it Star Entertainment who called?

Mm. Qiao Mianmian looked at the number on her phone screen with an odd expression.

This call from Star Entertainment was odd.

Although that person said a friend had recommended her, Qiao Mianmian still felt that something was off.
