Translator: 549690339
She had only acted in one movie, where she played the second female lead. At that time, she had also received unanimous praise from the audience.
Her acting skills were not bad, and she was also good-looking. However, she later quit the film industry because of personal matters and never acted again.
However, director Liu xingfei had taken a liking to Fang Ling’s talent and had always hoped that she would have the chance to make a comeback.
Although Fang Ling didn’t get involved in the film and television industry again, she still kept in touch with director Liu xingfei. Fang Ling even brought li Jingrui to meet this big director.
Li Jingrui called director Liu xingfei uncle Liu. He was about the same age as her mother, probably around forty years old.
On the other side, li Jingrui politely called director Liu and uncle Liu. After making an appointment, she confirmed it and sent a message to Chi Kexi.
Early in the morning on the weekend, Chi Kexi was jogging in the park behind the villa when she heard a message notification. She stopped to take a break and opened it to see that it was a message from Sheng Rui.
“Ms. Chi, I’ve already made an appointment with director Liu to have dinner with us tonight. You can arrange the time and leave early.”
Seeing such detailed information, Chi leixi’s face immediately brightened, and a smile condensed at the corner of her mouth. This Sheng Rui really couldn’t be underestimated.
He actually introduced me to a Big Shot like director Liu xingfei!
Chi leixi knew that tonight’s dinner was equivalent to her interview. She had to perform well to catch director Liu’s eye and have a chance to work with him in the future.
After it’s done, I must thank Sheng Rui. Although I don’t know much about him now, but looking at him, he’s a responsible and useful man.
On the way back home, Chi Yuexi thought about this matter and her good impression of Sheng Rui rose sharply. She even forgot and ignored his rudeness to her when he was drunk last time.
Chi Luoxi spent the entire day feeling nervous and excited.
She took out a lot of materials that she had studied before and went through them again, in case she got nervous and forgot the main content when director Liu talked about certain topics.
It wasn’t easy for her to make it to the afternoon. Chi Luoxi went to the dressing table early to put on her makeup. She carefully drew her brows and eyes and put on an exquisite light makeup.
Seeing that she was still not satisfied with the makeup, Chi Luoxi touched up many other areas. She only kept the makeup away when she was satisfied with it and there were no flaws.
As for what she would wear when she went out, Chi Luoxi had already planned it out.
In Chi Luoxi’s eyes, director Liu xingfei was a director who valued the talents and abilities of actors. The costumes should be formal and not old-fashioned, unique but not revealing.
Chi Luoxi took out the cheongsam that she rarely wore out. It was light purple, with a neat row of buttons, a collar, and no sleeves. It had both retro and novel elements.
After putting it on, Chi leixi turned around a few times in front of the mirror and felt quite satisfied. It was more graceful and eye-catching.
Before she left the house, she put on a pure white shawl, which made her look more elegant.
When Chi yaoxi arrived at the hotel’s restaurant as promised, Sheng Rui was already waiting in his seat.
He was stunned when he saw Chi Luoxi walking over in a cheongsam. She was too beautiful and too elegant! She was like a beautiful woman who had walked out of a painting.
Her face was as pink as a peach flower, and her eyes were full of smiles. Her makeup was clean, and her facial features were exquisite.
Her curved eyebrows and big, spirited eyes looked left and right. The fitting cheongsam made Chi Luoxi’s figure look even more enchanting.
Sheng Rui was dumbfounded and only cared about standing there, until Chi luexi smiled and asked,”
“Hello, do you want to sit here?”
Li Jingrui hurriedly walked over and pulled out a chair for Chi yaoxi.”
“It’s more suitable to sit here in the same row as me. Later, when director Liu comes, you can sit opposite him. It’ll be more convenient to talk this way. ”
Chi luexi nodded and felt that what Sheng Rui said made sense. He had also considered everything. After sitting down, she said sincerely,””Thank you,” he said.
Because of what happened last time, the two of them were a little awkward.
It was still Sheng Rui who spoke first. Since he was embarrassed about that matter, he might as well generously apologize and show his sincerity. It was not wrong.
“I’m sorry, miss Chi, I …”
“I’ve already apologized, there’s no need to say more. ”
Chi luexi immediately stopped talking about that. She didn’t want to hear any more of chengrui’s apology. It was meaningless.
Tonight’s task was difficult, so don’t be distracted by other topics.
Seeing that Sheng Rui still couldn’t get over it, the expression on his face was not very natural, and his eyes were also a little evasive.
This can’t do. I don’t want to affect my conversation with director Liu xingfei.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Chi leixi changed the topic and asked directly,”
“Thank you for inviting director Liu over today and introducing us to each other. Director Liu should be on the way at this time, right?”
Sure enough, when this topic was brought up, Sheng Rui’s tone became normal. He nodded and said,
“Yes, he just texted me that he’s already on his way. I also told him that I’ve brought a friend over. It’s a very important friend of mine and I want to get to know him.”
Chi Yuexi felt a little apologetic at the mention of this.
In Sheng Rui’s heart, she was already a very important friend. But in her heart, he was still a stranger, a person who didn’t understand each other.
It seemed that there was a difference between men and women. Men’s thoughts were more direct, and they didn’t think too much or have complicated thoughts.
Not knowing how to respond, Chi Luoxi nodded and thanked him softly.
The two of them had not spoken much when a middle-aged man of medium build and slightly plump came in from the entrance of the restaurant.
Sheng Rui stood up and waved at him.
Chi leixi took a closer look. It was indeed director Liu xingfei!
She had never met director Liu up close before. She had only seen him on TV or at large-scale award ceremonies.
Chi leixi’s heart was filled with excitement again. Taking advantage of the fact that director Liu had not arrived yet, she hurriedly took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Sheng Rui had already walked to the corridor, enthusiastically welcoming director Liu xingfei.
The two men met and greeted each other very warmly. Chi luexi could not hear what they were saying and could only see the two of them hugging.
Then, they all walked over with smiles on their faces.
Of course, Chi leixi also stood up with a smile on her face. She stood elegantly and looked at director Liu with reverence, waiting for chengrui to introduce her to him.
It seemed that when Sheng Rui met with director Liu just now, he had already mentioned her.
Before Chi luexi and Sheng Rui could say anything, director Liu walked to the dining table with a serious and faint smile on his face. He took the initiative to extend his right hand.
“Hello, miss Chi Luoxi!”
Chi Luoxi was a little flattered. She didn’t expect such a famous director like Liu xingfei to shake hands with her without putting on any airs.
She quickly took two steps forward and shook hands with director Liu as she politely called out,”
“Hello, director Liu! I’ve heard a lot about you and I’ve always liked your movies and TV series. I’m really happy to meet you today!”
