Chapter 18 She Will Be Mine Sooner or Later (Part 2)

Ji Xiangting also attended this university, and she came to report today as well. If she found out she had been working part-time all this time, her days at university would probably be over.

Yang Danning lowered her voice and, pointing at Ji Anning, didn't know what to say to her. In the end, she poked Ji Anning's forehead and said, "Just keep up your act. If Grandpa Ji finds out, your good days are over."

Heh, good days...

Over the past few years, her biggest dream had been to earn money. Maybe for others, money wasn't everything, but for her, without money, she was bound hand and foot and had no freedom to speak of.

But how could Danning, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, understand that?

...

Today's film set was on the beach, and it took two hours by bus, assuming there was no traffic.

Ji Anning got off the bus and ran to the set, where preparations were underway, and busy figures were everywhere.

"Sister Hong," she headed straight for a middle-aged woman wearing a black T-shirt, who was directing the work in the crowd.

The woman called Sister Hong turned her head upon hearing Ji Anning calling her and smiled as she approached, "Anning."

"Sorry, I'm a bit late," Ji Anning said breathlessly, apologizing, and then her gaze swept around.

She saw many familiar faces, all of whom she regularly saw on TV screens.

With such a cast, the production company must be powerful too.

As Ji Anning was speculating, Sister Hong suddenly grabbed her arm, "I'll take you to meet the director."

Before she could react, she was pulled to a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in front of a camera.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a crew cut. Ji Anning opened her mouth in surprise.

No wonder the cast was so impressive. It turned out to be a work by Director Wang Xiaozhong, the top and best-reviewed production team in the country.

"Director Wang, this is Wan Yueyue's body double for the scene in the water," Sister Hong pointed at Ji Anning and introduced her to the director in front of the camera.

"Hello, Director Wang," Ji Anning hastily nodded to the director.

This was the biggest director she had met in all her time as an extra, and he was also the youngest.

Because she was the lead's body double, Director Wang took a careful look at Ji Anning before nodding lightly at Sister Hong, "Hmm, take her to get ready."

"Okay," Sister Hong responded and then pulled Ji Anning, heading for the extras' makeup area.

Ji Anning looked at the group of big-name actors chatting and laughing together, feeling a bit uneasy.

She leaned in close to Sister Hong and asked quietly, "Sister Hong, you're sure my face won't be shown, right?"

"Don't worry, I know you," Sister Hong said with a smile, patting Ji Anning on the shoulder. "Go get your makeup done and prepare."

Ji Anning pursed her lips tightly, returned a grateful look to Sister Hong, nodded, and affirmed with a soft 'Mhm'.

"Qi Helian, Qi Helian is here."
