Jiang Mu said naturally: "Everything has a first time."
Although Lu Ran was curious about what had caused Jiang Mu to change so much, he did not ask much, but said coldly: "But I still have to tell you that the heroine role is not given to you just because I say so. I will arrange for you to meet the director first. As for whether he will decide on you, it depends on the director."
Jiang Mu hummed and revealed a piece of news, "I heard that Zhao Dewen's newly signed artist is also trying to get this role."
Lu Ran didn't know about this yet, and smiled when he heard it: "Are you talking about Lin Chuchu?"
Jiang Mu nodded, "Yes, it's her."
Lin Chuchu's popularity has skyrocketed recently due to her scandal with Qin Che, and Lu Ran also knows that Zhao Dewen signed her.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, with a hint of indifference in his words, and said jokingly: "If you can't even beat her, you can just terminate the contract."
Jiang Mu looked at Lu Ran quietly, with a confident look on her face: "Of course."
Lu Ran looked at her for a few seconds, then stood up and made a phone call, calling two people in.
"Let me introduce them. They are Yang Xiaoxiao and Cheng Xueyi. Yang Xiaoxiao will be your personal assistant from now on, responsible for all matters in your life. You can ask her about your schedule and contact her if you need anything. Cheng Xueyi is your executive agent, responsible for your work arrangements."
Jiang Mu looked at the two girls in front of her. Their styles were completely different.
Yang Xiaoxiao is relatively young, with a ponytail and wearing a sweatshirt, and looks very energetic.
Cheng Xueyi is more mature, with short hair, delicate makeup, a white chiffon shirt and a hip-hugging miniskirt, looking capable and elegant.
Jiang Mu quickly memorized their names and responsibilities.
The three of them exchanged contact information and added each other on WeChat.
Lu Ran answered a phone call and went out.
Yang Xiaoxiao had other things to do, so she said goodbye and left. Jiang Mu followed Cheng Xueyi to the office next door to discuss the next work matters.
She originally thought that it was just a few official words of courtesy, but she didn't expect that Cheng Xueyi really had something to discuss with her.
"Mr. Lu has got you an advertising endorsement, but you have to try the product for a while first."
Jiang Mu was stunned. Is it so fast?
As soon as she arrived, Lu Ran had already arranged a job for her.
Jiang Mu asked: "What is the endorsement?"
Cheng Xueyi took out a bottle from her bag and handed it to Jiang Mu: "It's this nighttime plant enzyme."
Jiang Mu: "…"
They really think of a way to find her an endorsement. She has lost so much weight in a short time, it is really suitable for her to endorse this.
"I have been taking this enzyme myself, and it works well. It can improve metabolism, promote oil excretion, and clean up stool..." At this point, Cheng Xueyi paused embarrassedly, and then continued: "Have you heard of it before?"
Jiang Mu nodded, "I've heard of it, but I haven't eaten it."
"This brand of enzyme has been the most popular and best-selling in recent years, but it has never had a spokesperson. This time, Mr. Lu personally stepped in and got the endorsement with just a few words."
Jiang Mu's expression was a little subtle. Lu Ran really knew how to do business. She just signed the contract today, but the endorsement had already been negotiated for her. It seemed that he was ready to take responsibility for her.
And considering her recent weight loss results, it is perfect for her to be the spokesperson for this enzyme.
She hadn't worked for a long time, so it was a good choice to start with a well-known and effective product as her first job after returning.
Cheng Xueyi: "If there are no problems, we can sign the contract next week. You can update your vlog as usual these few days, but just let this enzyme appear in the video accidentally. You don't have to actively say it, just wait for the fans to discover it themselves."
Jiang Mu put the bottle into her bag, "I understand."
After leaving the company, Jiang Mu went straight home. She rested for a while and then started packing her things. She was going to move out of here. This was the house the original owner bought when she and Qin Che got married. They had lived there for so long, and Jiang Mu didn't want to continue living there.
She found an agent and bought a new house a few days ago. She has already paid the money and went to sign the contract yesterday. The house is fully furnished and she has also visited it. There is no problem and she can move in directly.
Jiang Mu had just finished packing when she received a call.
It was Qin Che's assistant calling.
He said he was here to help Qin Che get something.
Jiang Mu said she was not at home and asked him to come another day.
The assistant was standing downstairs, looking at the lights on in the house, lost in thought.
He hesitated for a moment and called Qin Che to explain the situation.
After Qin Che knew about this, he just said "I know" and let his assistant go back.
He happened to be in City S, so he might as well go there himself.
Although he didn't want to see Jiang Mu, as long as Mother Qin was still alive, they would meet sooner or later. Moreover, after the divorce, he had always refused to meet Jiang Mu, mainly because Jiang Mu was emotionally unstable. Now Jiang Mu seemed to be much better, and it was only right for him to go over and pack up his things.
Qin Che still has the key to the house in his hand.
It was exactly nine o'clock in the evening when he arrived, neither too early nor too late. Jiang Mu should not have fallen asleep yet. He just took his things and left without wasting much time.
Qin Che stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, took out the key and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Mu walking down from upstairs in a bathrobe.
When their eyes met, both of them had strange expressions.
Jiang Mu looked at her nominal ex-husband calmly.
She have to say that he does have looks that are worth driving people crazy about. As a man with such a handsome appearance, he became popular in the entertainment industry not because of his looks, but because of his acting skills and temperament.
But he is also very good at disguising himself.
He was a little autistic, cold and taciturn since childhood. When he grew up, he fell in love with acting. So he always appeared gentle and gentlemanly in front of outsiders, but his true nature would be revealed when he returned home.
The original owner rarely saw him smile at home.
But the original owner thought she could be the special one, but she was wrong. She tried to warm this cold heart for more than ten years but failed.
In the end, she was frozen into ice.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Mu's tone was relaxed and casual, as if she had forgotten everything that happened in the past.
Qin Che's mood was very subtle, but he did not show it, and said lightly: "I'm here to get something, as I said before."
He did not mention that his assistant had called and Jiang Mu had lied that she was not at home.
There's no point in bringing it up. Whether Jiang Mu admits it or not, it's meaningless.
Jiang Mu nodded, "Oh."
She ignored Qin Che and walked to the living room, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV.
A TV series is playing on TV.
It happened to be a suspenseful crime drama starring Qin Che, in which he played a criminal profiler.
This drama is currently very popular on the Internet, and it becomes a hot search almost every two days.
Qin Che himself didn't have the habit of watching movies or TV shows he had acted in. It could be said that he hadn't seen any of them, and he didn't allow the original owner to play them at home. So if the original owner wanted to watch one, he had to watch it alone when Qin Che was not around.
But when Jiang Mu saw that the TV was playing a show starring Qin Che, she had no intention of changing to another TV show.
She leaned lazily on the sofa, reached out, picked up the cucumber on the table and took a bite.
She has been trying to lose weight recently, so there are no snacks at home, and she only eats low-calorie fruits such as tomatoes and cucumbers.
Qin Che frowned and looked over when he heard his own voice.
On the TV screen, he was wearing a shirt and cotton trousers, with messy and unkempt hair, and was analyzing the clues he had just obtained with the police.
Although the character he plays is a bit sloppy, it does not affect his handsomeness at all.
Jiang Mu was watching the TV intently, as if she had completely forgotten that Qin Che was standing not far from her.
Qin Che even felt that she didn't care about him at all.
When she saw him just now, there was no emotion in her eyes.
Although Qin Che felt strange, he felt much more at ease.
Since she has let it go, it is a good thing. When he goes back and sees his mother, maybe he won't feel so bad.
Qin Che went upstairs and packed the things he needed in a backpack. When he was about to leave, Qin Che went to the study again to see if there was anything he had left behind.
When he walked into the study, he was stunned.
The study was a mess, with several large suitcases filled with Jiang Mu's clothes, bags, and some daily necessities.
Qin Che then realized why he felt a little strange after entering the bedroom just now.
It was strange that the bedroom became very empty compared to before. There were not many things on the dressing table, and one door of the closet was open, but it was also empty.
Is Jiang Mu moving?
Qin Che went out with his backpack, and Jiang Mu was still watching TV.
She was watching too seriously and didn't care at all what Qin Che was doing or whether he left or not.
Qin Che was indeed not used to Jiang Mu like this.
In the past, Jiang Mu always revolved around him, following him wherever he went and watching him no matter what he did. From childhood to adulthood, she always liked to stick to him.
"Are you going to move?" Qin Che finally asked.
Jiang Mu turned around and hummed, "The house is sold."
When Qin Che heard this, his expression finally changed.
This was the house they bought when they got married. At that time, Jiang Mu said that she wanted to live here with him for the rest of her life. She was also responsible for the design and furnishing of the house. Every detail was carefully considered according to the preferences of the two.
Now it's sold just like that.
Qin Che was somewhat surprised.
"Why?" Qin Che asked.
Jiang Mu looked at Qin Che in confusion, "Can't I sell it?"
Qin Che said: "No, I'm just asking out of curiosity."
Jiang Mu said: "Because I won't be living here anymore, I want to start over."
Qin Che nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Mu's gaze returned to the TV again and she no longer looked at him, as if he was more attractive on TV than in real life.
Qin Che looked at Jiang Mu and felt that the person in front of him was completely different from the woman in his memory.
Jiang Mu touched her hair, which was half dry. She turned her head and saw that Qin Che had not left yet, so she asked, "Did you find your things?"
Qin Che: "Yeah."
Jiang Mu: "Then what else do you have to say?"
Qin Che: "It's nothing."
He thought Jiang Mu was going to order him to leave.
Who knew Jiang Mu said, "Why don't you drink with me?"
Qin Che was stunned.
Without waiting for him to speak, Jiang Mu got up and went to the kitchen, taking out a bottle of red wine.
"Do you remember this bottle of wine?"
Qin Che's eyes fell on the wine bottle, and his memory immediately went back to the day they got married.
Jiang Mu gave him two bottles of wine, one was produced in the year he was born, and the other was produced in the year she was born.
One of the bottles was used to celebrate when Qin Che won the Best Actor trophy, and the other bottle was left at home.
"Let's drink this bottle of wine together. It would be a shame to throw it away."
Jiang Mu held the wine in one hand and two wine glasses in the other.
The glass was filled with wine, and the red liquid swayed in the glass as Jiang Mu walked.
Qin Che hesitated.
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Qin Che looked at Jiang Mu and thought: Let's just consider this as an end to their marriage.
Over the years, he basically never satisfied Jiang Mu's requests.
Jiang Mu sat down on the sofa, put another wine glass on the coffee table, and then took a sip.
Qin Che walked over slowly, sat down opposite her, glanced at her, and then picked up the glass of wine.
Qin Che said: "It's not inconvenient."
Jiang Mu looked at him quietly, then raised her glass.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she observed Qin Che while drinking.
When Qin Che came just now, Jiang Mu thought of something.
When Xie Qianqian knew that the original owner and Qin Che had never had sex, she gave her something, saying that it could promote the relationship between the couple and asked her to use it appropriately.
The original owner was embarrassed and worried that Qin Che would be angry afterwards, so she never used it.
When Jiang Mu was pouring the wine just now, she put some of this stuff into one of the cups.
It was the cup Qin Che was holding.
This bottle of wine is of good vintage, so it tastes pretty good.
After Qin Che drank two cups, he thought it was time to leave, but Jiang Mu reminded him, "Did you drive here?"
Qin Che nodded.
"It's so late, wouldn't it be inconvenient to find a designated driver? Otherwise, ask your assistant to come over."
Qin Che remembered that he had asked his assistant to go home after get off work before he came.
But now he can only call him again.
Jiang Mu said calmly: "Or you can sleep in the guest room."
This is actually a better approach.
He couldn't drive after drinking, and if he left now to take a taxi, he would probably be photographed. It would not be a good idea to call a designated driver, as there had been cases of designated drivers stealing photos for auction before.
It's just a one-night stay in the guest room, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. There's no need to call the assistant over. The assistant seems to live quite far away, and it'll take nearly an hour for him to get here.
Qin Che was just a little hesitant at first, but when he saw Jiang Mu's cold look, he decided to stay.
"Okay."
Since Jiang Mu doesn't care, why should he be so pretentious? They are just divorced, not enemies.
Besides, they had slept in the same bed before, and now that he was staying in the guest room, there was no need for them to feel awkward.
Jiang Mu's expression did not change when she heard his reply. She just pointed at the bottle of wine and said, "Then drink it up. I remember you can drink quite a lot."
Qin Che didn't know why, but he felt that Jiang Mu's voice was soft and beautiful, and his body also felt a little hot.
His eyes were dark and bright, and his face had turned red without him noticing.
Jiang Mu had already noticed that something was wrong with him, but this was also expected.
She poured Qin Che another glass of wine, then changed her sitting position. She was only wearing a bathrobe, and as she moved, her legs switched positions in front of him. The bathrobe slid up her thighs, and her skin was still glowing and a little dazzling.
She observed Qin Che's reaction, wondering what would happen when he became aroused.
She couldn't wait to tear off Qin Che's cold outer coat and break his abstinence barrier when he could no longer bear it.
