Chapter 214 Their lips were swollen from kissing.
Before she could even decide whether to give the invitation to Bai Fu, the other party had already come to collect it as if she knew what was going on.
The key point is that my action of handing over the envelope was so smooth, it was as if I was being controlled.
Cheng Ai quickly previewed the document, then excitedly looked up, "Teacher, I've finished reading it. When will you start teaching me acting?"
Ye Ye was doing very well in the entertainment industry, and she couldn't keep holding him back.
Chi Mo snapped out of her thoughts and asked calmly, "Have you studied the movies and TV series starring Jing Ke?"
Cheng Ai scratched her head awkwardly and said in a low voice, "I've been a bit busy lately, so I only read 'The Last Beauty' and 'The Secret of Phoenix Valley'."
Chi Mo picked up a pen and scribbled in her notebook. "Then give a brief overview of the movie 'The Last Portrait of a Beauty'."
Cheng Ai rolled her eyes and thought for a long time before finally summarizing a passage: "The character Ye Ye plays suffers from dissociative identity disorder. When he is normal, he is just like an ordinary person. When he has an episode, he frantically draws women's body parts. At the end of the film, countless drawings are pieced together by netizens into a picture of an unparalleled beauty. Famous experts come to invite him to come out of retirement to paint, but he has already been assassinated and died a tragic death."
As she finished speaking, her voice choked with emotion. Although she knew it was scripted, she still couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she saw Ye Jingke's character die.
Chi Mo put down her pen and sighed, "Xiao Ai, were you only watching Jing Ke the whole time?"
Cheng Ai was taken aback, then nodded and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Chi Mo interlaced her fingers, her head throbbing with pain. “The painting ‘Last Painting of a Beauty’ mainly tells the story of the influence of the family of origin on children, and the ending is not murder, but suicide.”
Seeing the other person's confused expression, she patiently explained, "The protagonist knows he has a mental illness and actively cooperates with the treatment, but the avoidance, neglect and ridicule from those around him cause him great pain."
Chi Mo paused for a moment, then continued, "Later, the protagonist decided to return to his hometown to live out the rest of his life in peace, but unexpectedly, his biological parents deliberately used him as a tool to make money through live streaming. He was completely desperate and chose to end his life in a heavy rain."
She picked up her pen again and stared intently at Cheng Ai. "I've already experienced singing and dancing on the glacier. Now I want to see your acting skills."
Chi Mo found the scene in "The Last Portrait of a Beauty" where the protagonist falls ill, turned the laptop around, and said, "Memorize the lines in three minutes, then perform them for me."
Cheng Ai's lips twitched slightly as she met his gaze with a troubled expression. "Teacher, there's not enough time. Could you give us a few more minutes?"
Chi Mo smiled slightly and tapped her wristwatch with her fingers. "You have two minutes and fifty seconds left."
Cheng Ai stopped haggling and immediately picked up her laptop to seriously memorize her lines.
It must be said that Ye Jingke's acting skills are superb, perfectly portraying a schizophrenic patient.
Fortunately, he was experienced; otherwise, he would never have been able to fool Su Qi and Zhang Caifeng's group in the mental hospital.
When the time came, Chi Mo stopped writing and waited to watch the performance.
Cheng Ai put down her laptop and lay down in the center of the office to gather her emotions.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and abruptly sat up.
She touched her face, a sly smile playing on her lips. "I've finally won over the right to use this body~ Heh~ It wasn't that hard~"
Chi Mo's eyes lit up, and she straightened her back and took out her phone to record a video.
Cheng Ai is a natural-born actress; although she can't compare to Ye Jingke, she's still quite good.
Well, her personality isn't very likable, otherwise she might have become famous even faster.
The performance continued. Cheng Ai, kneeling with her rear end sticking out, frantically drew on the floor with a calligraphy brush she'd somehow acquired, chanting, "Such a delicate and exquisite nose~ I want to preserve it forever~"
Chi Mo told her to stop and rest, then posted the recorded video on Weibo with the caption: "[Newcomer to the company, promising future.]"
Cheng Ai slumped on the sofa, her mouth slightly open, breathing rapidly, her face slightly flushed.
Before acting, I thought being a star wouldn't be difficult, but after trying it today, I was surprised to find it so tiring.
No wonder Shu Tian insisted on retiring from the entertainment industry; it was a wise move!
As soon as you speak of Cao Cao, he appears. There was a knock on the door, and Chi Mo, while preparing a training plan for Cheng Ai, let someone in.
Shu Tian carefully pushed open the door and stepped into the office, where she immediately saw Cheng Ai.
She looked delighted, though nervous, but still mustered her courage to hand over her resume and greet them, "Hello, Ms. Chi and Ms. Ai."
Cheng Ai responded with a polite smile, while Chi Mo picked up the document and quickly glanced through it. "You resolutely withdrew from the entertainment industry before, so why are you suddenly back now?"
Shu Tian swallowed hard and replied seriously, "Because I love this industry, even if I can never appear on screen again, I am willing to dedicate my life to it."
"Tell the truth!" Chi Mo reminded him, displeased.
Shu Tian lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly looked up. "I'm with Zheyi now. He hopes I can come to the company for an interview. If it works out, we'll have more common topics to talk about."
Intrigued by the gossip, Cheng Ai immediately asked, "When did you two start dating? Who brought it up first?"
Shu Tian smiled shyly, gently tucking the hem of her dress with two fingers. "Ever since I finished recording 'Dare to Be,' he has often chatted with me and shared his daily life with me. This Tuesday, he was injured while filming a promotional video, so I bought a plane ticket and rushed over. He confessed his feelings to me as soon as he woke up that night."
Cheng Ai smiled like a doting aunt, "Did you two kiss?"
Shu Tian felt increasingly embarrassed. "No, he was lying in bed and couldn't move, and I was too embarrassed to take the initiative."
"Wow~ That's awful~" Cheng Ai sighed, her gaze tender and affectionate. "Unlike Ye Ye~ who kissed me so much my lips are swollen~"
Seeing the two chatting endlessly, Chi Mo quickly interrupted, "Xiao Ai, from this moment on, Tian Tian is your assistant."
Then, she looked at Shu Tian and said in an extremely stern tone, "Shengding International does not have a rule against office romances. I hired you not because of Zhong Zheyi. You have the required qualifications, rich experience, and a good understanding of the entertainment industry. You are a rare talent."
Chi Mo put the resume into the drawer and added, "The probation period is three months. If there are no problems, come over at eight o'clock on Monday morning to complete the onboarding process."
Shu Tian thanked them repeatedly with great excitement, then said goodbye and left.
For the entire afternoon, Cheng Ai was learning acting from Chi Mo.
As for the unpleasantness they had caused before, they tacitly refrained from mentioning it again.
When Cheng Ai returned to the Imperial Manor with red and swollen eyes, Ye Jingke, who was dealing with emails in the living room, immediately threw down his iPad and went to greet her, helping her to sit down. "What happened? Did you suffer some injustice?"
