Chapter 75: Interview Rescue Ticket
On the morning of October 5th, Yun Yang received a notice that he had passed the second round of interviews, and asked him to go to "Shadow Capital Media" on October 8th to participate in the final round of interviews.
However, Lin Xi did not receive any notice, Lin Xi called the crew to inquire and was told that she did not pass.
Lin Xi thought that after her performance yesterday, Gu Ming and Director Li Yi were obviously very satisfied with her performance, even if Director Ren Changfeng was not optimistic about her, according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority. She should have a third chance anyway.
Could it be that there is an unknown shady scene in it?
Lin Xi decided to ask the director directly what the situation was, but fortunately, Gu Ming gave her a business card yesterday.
Lin Xi dialed Gu Ming's phone number and said straight to the point: "Director Gu, I didn't pass the audition yesterday, I want to ask what the problem is and whether there is a chance to remedy it." โ
Gu Ming's voice was sincere and helpless: "Lin Xi, I am very optimistic about you, in my mind, you are the best choice for Su Su, but I can't be the master of this matter." โ
"Then who can do it?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on where the wind blows." When Gu Ming said this, he deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of "wind".
Although Gu Ming said it very tactfully, Lin Xi immediately understood. Although there were three directors present at the time of the interview, the final decision was in the hands of Ren Changfeng.
Lin Xi didn't know much about the rules of the entertainment industry, and when she saw Gu Ming's euphemism, she also asked implicitly: "Then Director Gu, can you tell me how I can find the direction of the wind?" โ
Gu Ming laughed and said, "Later, I will send you the wind vane." Also, Lin Xi wishes you good luck. โ
"Thank you, Director Gu."
After Lin Xi and Gu Ming finished talking on the phone, they soon received a string of numbers from Gu Ming.
Lin Xi directly dialed the number.
In a few moments, the phone was connected. The person who answered the phone was Ren Changfeng himself.
After Lin Xi explained his situation to Ren Changfeng, Ren Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not free today, so let's do it, Xiaolin, you come to my house tomorrow night, and I will send you the address later." โ
After Ren Changfeng said this, before Lin Xi could react, a busy sound of "beep" came from the phone.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
In the evening of the next day, Lin Xi came to Ren Changfeng's house.
Ren Changfeng kindly invited Lin Xi to sit down on the sofa, and asked a good-looking housekeeper to prepare melon and fruit refreshments.
Lin Xi looked at Ren Changfeng and said; "Director Ren, given that your time is very valuable, I have something to say. If there is any offense, please bear with me.
I came here today to find out why I didn't pass the second round of interviews. โ
Ren Changfeng said with a serious expression: "In my opinion, among the twenty-two candidates for the role of Su Su yesterday, you performed the closest to Su Su himself. When Ren Changfeng said this, he didn't continue, but looked at Lin Xi with a meaningful look.
Lin Xi knows that there are many unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, could it be that this thin and elegant director is actually a pervert embryo and wants to let her sleep with her?
Lin Xi endured the anger that kept churning in his chest, and said in a calm tone: "I am stupid by nature, I don't understand the meaning of Director Ren's words, and I ask Director Ren to teach me." โ
"I can see that you are a cheerful person, so I will be blunt, I have a tricky problem. I need you to do me a favor. As long as you can help me complete this matter, I can guarantee that the role of Su Su is yours. โ
Lin Xi was quite surprised: "What are you busy?" โ
Ren Changfeng told Lin Xi what he wanted to ask Lin Xi from beginning to end.
It turned out to be Li Yue, the daughter of Ren Changfeng's deceased, who was kidnapped by a gangster.
The other party asked Ren Changfeng to take 50 million as a ransom in exchange for Li Yue.
It's not that Ren Changfeng can't afford to pay the ransom of 50 million. In fact, this gang boss has a grudge against his old man, and he thinks that after the ransom is in hand, the other party will probably tear up the ticket.
And if she called the police, Li Yue would have died even worse. So he couldn't call the police.
Therefore, he planned to let Lin Xi go to the gang boss to rescue Li Yue without the ransom.
"Why did you ask me to do this?" Lin Xi asked puzzled.
Ren Changfeng picked up the blue and white porcelain cup on the coffee table, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "There are three main reasons.
First of all, you are very beautiful, and even if things get to the point of saber rattling, I think the gang boss will definitely not be willing to kill you. โ
Lin Xi: "ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Secondly, judging from your performance during the interview yesterday, you shouldn't have stage fright when facing the gang boss."
hehe
"And the last?"
"Finally, you know martial arts."
Lin Xi looked at Ren Changfeng with a little surprise: "How do you know that I know martial arts?" โ
"Your resume says you know martial arts and you're a black belt. And then I sent someone to do a survey. The truth is exactly what it says on your resume. โ
After Lin Xi was silent for a moment, he looked at Ren Changfeng's thin and elegant face with a torch and said, "Director Ren, do you know the relationship between me and Qin Chu?" โ
A glimmer of unknown meaning crossed Ren Changfeng's eyes, and then he said disapprerovingly: "What is the relationship between you and him, it has nothing to do with me." โ
"In that case, then I'll take my leave." Lin Xi got up and walked to the door.
"Wait." Ren Changfeng shouted.
Lin Xi turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Director Ren, have you changed your mind?" โ
Ren Changfeng looked at Lin Xi very seriously: "If you can successfully rescue Li Yue, I will give you 10 million as a thank you gift after the matter is completed." After a pause, Ren Changfeng added: "My people also found out that you founded an experimental base with your own hands, and your experimental base is currently in need of money. โ
Lin Xi was annoyed that Ren Changfeng used the experimental base to negotiate conditions with her, but this trick really worked for her. The experimental base is her hard work, because of insufficient funds, several important scientific research projects can only be temporarily put on hold.
As long as 10 million is in hand, one or two of these projects will be able to continue.
Although Ren Changfeng's mission was a bit risky, she believed that with her courage and martial arts, there was still a great possibility of being able to rescue people.
Lin Xi pondered for a moment and then said; "Director Ren, I am willing to save people. But you'll have to pay me a deposit of five million upfront. โ
Ren Changfeng stretched out a finger: "I'm sorry, Lin Xi, I can only pay you a deposit of one million." โ
"In that case, that's the excuse." After Lin Xi finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door again.
"Wait" Lin Xi only took two steps before being stopped by Ren Changfeng again.
The corners of Lin Xi's lips were hooked, this trick was really useful to retreat as advance.
In the end, after some bargaining between the two, Ren Changfeng asked someone to put two million on Lin Xi's card as a deposit, and the remaining eight million, Ren Changfeng promised to call her card after she successfully rescued Li Yue.
After Ren Changfeng gave Lin Xi the photo of Li Yue and the address of the kidnapper, he said: "Lin Xi must rush to the kidnapper's villa at one o'clock in the morning tonight to save people." โ
Lin Xi frowned and said, "Why is it the middle of the night?" โ
Ren Changfeng spread his hands and said helplessly: "This is what the kidnappers meant, I can't help it, the gang boss said that if he doesn't receive 50 million in cash before one o'clock tonight, then Li Yue will be in danger." โ
"I know, if Director Ren doesn't have anything else, then I'll leave." Lin Xi said with a serious expression, and stood up after speaking.
Ren Changfeng also stood up from the sofa and said with a solemn face: "Lin Xi's matter tonight is dangerous, you must be careful when you act." โ
Lin Xi said: "I naturally know this. โ
