Chapter 782 Qin Mo Learns

"Director Ning, the two candidates for the male lead are waiting outside," a staff member announced as they came in.

"Let them in," Director Ning said.

Staff member: "Okay."

In the following days, Director Ning strictly controlled the casting process, and it wasn't until after 7 p.m. that he finished casting all the important roles, including the male and female leads, the second and third female leads, and the second male lead.

"The rest is up to you." Director Ning stood up, no longer personally overseeing the remaining roles. "You must be very selective; the smaller the role, the more it depends on the actor's ability to portray the character."

Casting director: "Don't worry, we guarantee it will be executed to the highest standards."

Director Ning didn't give any further instructions.

He still trusts his own people.

but--

Thinking that Lin Tan didn't even have an agent or assistant, Director Ning made a phone call to Qin Jiangye after leaving. As soon as the call was connected, Qin Jiangye's frivolous words came through: "If the big director is here to lecture me, you can hang up now."

"You still know I'm going to lecture you." Director Ning and Qin Jiangye are very familiar with each other. The two are like older and younger brothers, and also like very good friends.

Qin Jiangye rested his chin on one hand, looking quite content.

"I don't even know what to say about you. You didn't even assign an agent, let alone an assistant." Director Ning had never seen such an unreliable boss, and his words were quite ruthless.

"It's just that we don't know if she can pass." Qin Jiangye said casually, as he was at Jiang Ruan's house at the moment. "You're not giving me a definite answer. If she can't pass, making arrangements in advance is just a waste of manpower and resources."

"How is it a waste of manpower and resources? She won't need them later." Director Ning said he wasn't being polite at all. "In the industry, which actor with a bit of fame like her doesn't have an assistant?"

“There are actresses,” Qin Jiangye said deliberately, “but if she doesn’t get the role, she won’t be an actress.”

Director Ning: "?"

Director Ning: "Are you going to sideline them?"

Qin Jiangye: "Am I that kind of person?"

Director Ning: "Aren't you?"

Qin Jiangye: "That makes me sad."

Director Ning's sharp tongue: "How can a heartless person feel sadness?"

"You're so protective of her, it seems you really like the female lead I recommended." Qin Jiangye said with a slight smile. "Having found you such a great person, aren't you going to treat me to a meal?"

"Get lost." Director Ning always spoke to him like this. "Get the agent and assistant arranged as soon as possible. There will be a lot of things to do after they join the crew."

Qin Jiangye: "It's being arranged."

Director Ning: "Hmm."

Qin Jiangye: "Hang up."

Director Ning: "Wait a minute."

Qin Jiangye: "?"

Qin Jiangye: "Is there anything else?"

Director Ning, thinking about the subtle relationship between Huo Sinian and Lin Tan, still wanted to find out the situation in advance so that he would have a better understanding of it.

"Really?" Qin Jiangye rarely saw him like this.

"Do you know Huo Sinian?" Director Ning asked directly.

Qin Jiangye paused.

His gaze fell on Qin Mo, who was playing chess with his grandfather not far away.

"Who doesn't know the current president of the Huo Group?" Qin Jiangye said casually.

Director Ning: "You know that's not what I meant."

Qin Jiangye: "I don't know."

Director Ning: "..."

If that brat were in front of him, he would definitely give him a good beating.

Despite her anger, she still told him what had happened. Compared to Huo Sinian, whom she had just met, she still preferred Qin Jiangye, that brat: "He auditioned for a role in my production team, and after accepting the role, he specifically reminded me not to cut his scenes with Lin Tan."

"Is he pursuing one of my company's artists?" Qin Jiangye did not reveal his thoughts.

He didn't know the exact nature of Huo Sinian's relationship with Lin Tan, but he had heard some rumors, such as Lin Tan having dated Huo Sinian in Jingzhou and Qin Mo going there to snatch her away.

He didn't know the specifics of what happened, but he could sense the discord between Qin Mo and Huo Sinian.

"You're asking me?" Director Ning was about to give someone a piece of his mind again.

"If I don't ask you, who should I ask?" Qin Jiangye said deliberately.

Director Ning angrily hung up the phone.

That brat.

He's usually quite unreliable.

If you really want to know why your mouth is harder than a rock!

"Don't be angry. I'll go to the company tomorrow and have Secretary Qin check it out." Qin Jiangye knew he had upset her, so he sent her a voice message to coax her, "I'll let you know when I have the results."

Director Ning: [Who cares?]

Qin Jiangye coaxed him like a child: "I appreciate it, I'm begging you to accept my kindness."

Director Ning: [...]

Director Ning: [How disgusting!]

Qin Jiangye: [Where does the disgust come from in a heartless person?]

Director Ning was speechless after seeing this. Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he had seen all sorts of people, but he had never met anyone like Qin Jiangye, who was both infuriating and charming, shameless yet impossible to dislike.

Regardless of Lin Tan's relationship with Huo Sinian, she is a responsible actress. Qin Jiangye spoke up for Lin Tan.

He could see Lin Tan's ambition.

It's also clear that she wants to make a name for herself through her own efforts.

It's a shame that such a lazy boss has such a hardworking artist. We should cherish him.

After replying, he stood up and walked towards the sofa where Qin Mo and Old Master Qin were. He glanced at the chessboard and plopped down next to the old man.

"It's not finished yet." He leaned back, looking completely relaxed.

"Go away, don't bother me here," Old Master Qin said irritably. The battle on the chessboard was at a tense moment, and he didn't want to be affected.

Qin Jiangye didn't care.

He just stood there watching.

His sitting posture was sloppy and unserious, and he was extremely lazy and undisciplined.

As time passed, the game came to an end, with Old Master Qin emerging victorious. Qin Jiangye clearly saw the old man let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"You little rascal, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve." Old Master Qin said of Qin Mo, who had always admired him. "I almost fell for your trap."

Qin Mo: "Want to come again?"

Grandpa Qin: "I'm not coming. I want to take a walk with An'an."

Qin Mo did not insist.

Grandpa Qin stood up, looked at Qin Jiangye, and asked, "Do you want to go for a walk? Relax your lazy bones."

"No, thank you." Qin Jiangye said, looking at Qin Mo, and said in a drawn-out tone, "My brother probably has something to discuss with me."

Although Qin Mo had been playing chess with his grandfather, when he told Lao Ning about the current president of the Huo Group, he saw Qin Mo glance in his direction. Even if it was only for a moment, he still caught it.

"Do you need to see him for something?" Old Master Qin rarely asked.

Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged, still indifferent: "Hmm."

Old Master Qin: "Because of Lin Tan?"

Qin Mo: "?"

Qin Jiangye: "?"

The two of them looked at him in unison.

At that distance, the old man shouldn't have been able to hear clearly.

"You two talk slowly, I'm going to take a walk with An'an." Old Master Qin knew he had guessed right from their expressions. "If there are any new developments, remember to let me know so I can prepare a generous gift for my granddaughter-in-law."

Qin Mo: "..."

Qin Mo: "Auntie is waiting, you should go now."

Grandpa Qin didn't linger any longer and went out for a walk.

After seeing him leave the living room, Qin Mo turned his gaze to Qin Jiangye and guessed based on what he had heard: "Did Director Ning just call you?"

"Your hearing is still pretty good; you can hear things from that far away," Qin Jiangye said casually.

Qin Mo poured himself a glass of water: "What did you talk about?"

Qin Jiangye: "Didn't you hear that?"

Qin Mo: "Why did you mention Huo Sinian?"

"Want to know?" Qin Jiangye reached out and took the water he had poured, his tone casual.

Qin Mo poured himself another glass, his emotions calm: "I want to."

Qin Jiangye took a sip: "Good tea."

Qin Mo waited patiently.

Qin Jiangye put the cup on the table and rested his head on his hands: "It's nothing serious, it's just that Huo Sinian joined the crew where Lin Tan is, and even asked Lao Ning for a role with a lot of interaction with Lin Tan."
