Chapter 148: This Call Was Odd

Qiao Mianmian grabbed her hand and smiled. “Alright, Luo Luo, ignore them. Let’s go.”

Jiang Luoli nodded and then sighed. “Girls are terrifying when they get jealous. Baby, I think they hate you to the core now. You’d 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 didn’t have many lessons in the morning. Her morning classes ended at just a little past 10.

She’d just walked out of the classroom when she received a call.

“Miss Qiao, we’re calling from Star Entertainment Film Company. We’ve got a female lead character that requires a substitute recently, and we think you’d 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 don’t think I sent my resumé to your company.”

Qiao Mianmian had heard about Star Entertainment before.

It was one of the larger film companies around.

Qiao Mianmian hadn’t received any gigs in a while.

There’d been fewer production crews, and even the top tier actors and actresses didn’t 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.

She’d 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? We’ll definitely offer you a price you’re satisfied with.”

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

She considered it seriously and then replied, “I’m sorry, I’m 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, “I’m sorry, I don’t think I’m suitable for this.”

If she hadn’t been married to Mo Yesi, she’d definitely be in need of money now.

Qiao Chen’s surgery cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and she would’ve needed to work to pay it off.

She wouldn’t have rejected this job.

But now…

She had a Black Card in her hand, with an expenditure cap in the millions of yuan. She didn’t want to take on jobs that had no help in her future prospects anymore.

She’d 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 someone’s substitute wouldn’t help her at all.

“Miss Qiao, you’re sure about this?”

“Yes.”

The other party kept quiet for a while and then said, “Alright, then. Since that’s the case, we won’t 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.
