Chapter 478: Chapter 467: The World-Famous Director Actually Wants to Take Qiao Jing’s Advice
“Qiao Jing! Are you deaf? Can’t you hear me speaking? How can you be so lacking in manners!”
Qiao Jing stopped in her tracks, her icy gaze piercing straight toward Qiao Mengtong’s face, as her cool voice rose.
“Do you have any?”
She was very curious as to where someone like Qiao Mengtong got the courage to accuse others of having no manners.
Qiao Mengtong, under Qiao Jing’s gaze, began to feel inexplicably guilty and her eyes started to shift uneasily.
“How can you say I don’t have manners? At least I would stop when someone calls me; you just outright ignore people. How dare you accuse others?”
Qiao Jing withdrew her gaze, her red lips slightly parted.
“Because I don’t want to waste my time on people like you.”
Having dropped that line, Qiao Jing resumed her stride.
Qiao Mengtong’s eyes widened, and her face turned extremely ugly as her voice became shrill.
“What do you mean? What is ‘people like me’? What kind of person do you think I am?!”
It was as if Qiao Jing’s words were belittling her!
She was a big star now!
What right did Qiao Jing have to look down on her status?
Without waiting for Qiao Jing to respond, Qiao Mengtong continued on her own.
“Qiao Jing, I am now the female lead in Director Gu Yunchen’s new drama. I am a popular star, the female lead. What are you? How dare you speak about me?
It’s an honor for you even to speak with me, and yet you dare to be sarcastic?!”
Qiao Jing silently curled the corner of her mouth and left without looking back.
She didn’t want to waste her breath on this kind of person.
After all, Qiao Mengtong’s self-satisfaction wasn’t just a one or two-day affair.
Qiao Mengtong clenched her fists, grinding her teeth in anger.
Before, her punches were like hitting cotton, but this time, she must retrieve her dignity from Qiao Jing!
Now that she was wearing the costume of a female lead, she was sure it would get under Qiao Jing’s skin even more!
“Qiao Jing! Stop right there! Don’t reject the face I’m giving you!”
Qiao Jing glanced back indifferently at Qiao Mengtong and continued to ignore her.
Her visit this time was to see how the younger brother’s filming was going, not to engage in idle talk with Qiao Mengtong.
Seeing that Qiao Jing wouldn’t stop, Qiao Mengtong chased after her again, blocking her path.
“I’m talking to you; are you treating me like air again?”
Qiao Jing halted, her red lips slowly uttering two words.
“Move aside.”
She really didn’t want to waste her time, but Qiao Mengtong stuck to her like a persistent plaster each time.
Qiao Mengtong “hmphed,” beginning to fiddle with the costume she was wearing.
“You don’t feel like talking now? Haven’t you seen it, I am the female lead. You’ve heard of Director Gu, right?”
Qiao Jing gently arched her slender eyebrows.
“What are you trying to say?”
Of course, she had heard of him; he wasn’t just well-known, Gu Yunchen was her younger brother.
However… she was more curious, how Qiao Mengtong was chosen by her younger brother to be the female lead.

She had seen some commercials Qiao Mengtong had done and inadvertently came across some of her web series while scrolling on her phone. She personally didn’t think Qiao Mengtong’s acting was very good.
Furthermore, judging by the costume Qiao Mengtong was wearing, it appeared to be a period drama, and her temperament didn’t really match the ancient attire. If she was cast in her younger brother’s drama, it could potentially ruin it.
She hoped her younger brother would find a more suitable actress for the female lead.
Qiao Mengtong, arms crossed, boasted smugly:
“You must be aware of Director Gu’s fame. Every drama he directs is a hit, and he personally signed me as the female lead. Soon, I will dominate the screens of the capital, and there’s more…”
“So you’re still shamelessly clinging to President Zhan, huh? Do you believe that he will definitely abandon you soon? When that happens, you’ll be left penniless. How about this, I’ll be magnanimous and give you an autograph now. You can sell it later to make quite a bit of money. If you kneel down and call me ‘sister’ right now, I’ll sign it for you.”
Disdain surfaced in Qiao Jing’s eyes as she frowned.
“Do you have delusions?”
Qiao Mengtong’s eyes widened in anger, her fingernails digging deep into the flesh as she glanced around.
At this time, everyone else was on set filming, and no one was at the door.
She stepped forward quickly, raising her hand.
“Delusions? Hah! I’m a big star now, I think you’re the one who’s delusional!”
Qiao Jing had no desire to catch Qiao Mengtong’s hand; she found it repulsive.
Just as she was about to sidestep and avoid her, a voice suddenly rang out.
“Put your hand down!”
At the sound of the voice, Qiao Mengtong’s hand stiffened in mid-air.
Fear appeared on her face.
It’s over, Director Gu saw her trying to hit someone!
Would Director Gu replace her because of this?
But this was not her fault at all! It was Qiao Jing who had no real talent yet still acted so high and mighty!
Qiao Mengtong’s gaze darkened as she glared unceasingly at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing recognized the owner of the voice and looked in the direction it came from.
“Little Three? What are you doing here?”
She had only been delayed outside for a moment, and there he was, coming out on his own.
She had intended to dodge Qiao Mengtong and go straight in, but what if Little Three’s arrival postponed the filming schedule?
Qiao Mengtong’s hand, frozen in mid-air, fell, and she looked at Qiao Jing with confusion.
She hadn’t misheard, had she? Qiao Jing actually called Director Gu ‘Little Three’?
What exactly was their relationship?
Of course, these were not the main point. The key issue was, when did Qiao Jing get involved with Director Gu?
She had never heard anything about Qiao Jing knowing Director Gu.
Gu Yunchen “mm-hm”ed, taking quick steps to Qiao Jing’s side.
“I was watching from inside for so long and you didn’t come over, so I came out to check.”
After he said that, his gaze fell on Qiao Mengtong.
“If I hadn’t come out, I wouldn’t have had the chance to see her true colors. Sure enough, letting others handle casting isn’t reliable.”
A look of surprise flickered in Qiao Jing’s eyes.
“You didn’t choose the cast?”
Gu Yunchen nodded and explained to Qiao Jing.
“I gave the script to the assistant director in advance, and he arbitrarily chose a leading lady for me. She just about passed muster the day before yesterday so I didn’t say anything, but today she caused trouble. I also wanted you to come over to see how these actors were performing and give me some advice.”
Shock was written all over Qiao Mengtong’s face as she looked incredulously at the pair, who seemed to be on familiar terms.
“Director Gu… you know her? Why would you listen to her advice? What qualifications does she have to advise you?”
Being caught in the act of trying to hit someone by Gu Yunchen was bad enough, but now Director Gu was saying he wanted to take advice from Qiao Jing?
Who in the country didn’t know that Gu Yunchen is a famous director both at home and abroad?
His presence was not only felt in Hollywood; his films had won countless awards, and every TV series he directed had won many awards in China as well.
Actors who had worked on Gu Yunchen’s TV series or films often became stars themselves, winning awards for Best Actor or Actress without exception.
But now, Gu Yunchen was actually going to heed Qiao Jing’s advice?
She had never heard of Qiao Jing being involved in acting.
What Gu Yunchen said next shocked Qiao Mengtong so much her eyes nearly bulged out of her head.
