A dangerous gleam glinted in Luo Ying’s eyes. When Jin Shi first decided to travel abroad, the process was swift and easy. She reflected and concluded that in this world, Jin Shi should not have been able to arrange it so smoothly.
“This…” Lu Zhao averted his gaze.
“Don’t lie!” Luo Ying stared at Lu Zhao.
“No, but I asked him to take good care of you,” Lu Zhao stammered.
“Humph!” Luo Ying did not look surprised.
It was at this very spot that Lu Zhao recalled the argument having broken out. For fear of reliving it, he fed Luo Ying a second helping. “I promise there won’t be a next time.”
“Fine.” Luo Ying gave in and accepted his words begrudgingly.
Wang Yu and Chi Tong picked up Luo Ying promptly at nine in the morning.
“Does Sister Ying live in such a luxurious place?” Wang Yu appeared to have gained a new appreciation for her superior.
“Keep your thoughts to yourself later.” Chi Tong was used to it.
They soon found themselves standing in front of Lu Zhao’s mansion. When they saw Lu Zhao personally send Luo Ying out, Wang Yu quickly pulled a taut expression and did not say a word.
President Lu really loved Sister Ying. He even opened the car door himself. Wang Yu only sighed silently in her heart.
“Sister Ying.” Wang Yu heaved a sigh of relief when the car started moving. “Today is the East Coast Film Festival. Our ‘Dancing Shoes and Summer’ has been nominated for the Best Actress, Best Soundtrack, and Best Director awards. Currently, we stand a better chance at the Best Soundtrack and Best Director awards.”
Wang Yu then studied Luo Ying’s face after she said that.
But Luo Ying was cool as a cucumber. She was well aware of the original Luo
Ying’s extensive history of performing in subpar films. Her damaged reputation could not be repaired overnight. The other films in this festival were also of exceptionally high quality. Her lack of award success was entirely expected.
Furthermore, the East Coast Film Festival award was not a particularly prestigious one. She had complete faith in her acting abilities. If “Prime Minister” came out when it was supposed to, she wouldn’t have to worry about the second half of the year’s television drama awards.
Next year would also see a rise in the number and prestige of film industry awards.
Wang Yu was relieved to see Luo Ying so composed. She was most concerned about certain celebrities due to their lofty ideals and lack of practical skill. Once they realized they were out of the running, they made a big scene at the venue and caused a lot of trouble.
On the other hand, Sister Ying was taking it like a champ!
“Today, I’m using the new spring collection from K. The makeup was decided by Yueyue…” Wang Yu continued to scroll on the tablet and introduced today’s schedule to Luo Ying.
Luo Ying was satisfied with what she saw. Building her own team had undoubtedly simplified things for her.
She would not have to deal with the difficulties that the previous Luo Ying had, such as the manager making things difficult and the sloppy cosmetics. The red carpet was held at night. There was a pleasant breeze and sunny skies today.
The film festival’s main entrance was flanked by a row of mysterious trees. Budding flowers could be seen all along the branches. Flowers would fall like rain if there was a breeze. It was extremely romantic.
“Big brother!” Luo Ying met up with Jin Shi outside the venue. She greeted Jin Shi with a broad grin the moment she entered the vehicle.
“Yingying, you look great today.” Jin Shi gave her a once over. It was as if they were back in their own world. His sister was a style icon back there, and she was well on her way to being one here.
Because his manager was in the front row, Jin Shi could only talk to Luo Ying about his time spent abroad. The main concern was finding a way home to their original world.
“Any progress?” Luo Ying asked quietly.
Jin Shi shook his head. “There’s one for the opposite direction.”
Luo Ying frowned. The opposite direction? Did that mean that they couldn’t go back, but more from their world could come over?
However, Jin Shi also mentioned that they were unclear about the process and that he needed more time.
Their rendezvous point was close to the location of the festival. Luo Ying could only get in a few more words before she had to run to the red carpet.
“Jin Shi! Luo Ying and the others are here!” As Jin Shi got out of the car, there was a commotion on the red carpet.
“Kacha kacha!” The cameras started flashing and making shutter noises the second Jin Shi opened the car door for Luo Ying.
“Look here!” Some of the media tried their best to shout.
“Luo Ying! Sister Ying is so beautiful today!” There was a lot of excited yelling from the waiting fans as well.
As she walked the red carpet, Luo Ying smiled with poise and confidence.
A long red dress embroidered with golden flowers outlined her alluring curves. She wore her hair in a simple style that showed off her beautiful neck and shoulders and stunned everyone on the red carpet..
