Chapter 308 - So Hypocritical?

Jiang Yuning was not being overconfident, as she really had the talent and ability.

In fact, Director Mong had long believed in Jiang Yuning’s determination and talent. However, since they had already made the arrangements in the past, they both had to keep to their words.

Director Mong hired three professional teachers to come over to test Jiang Yuning on the different skills that she had acquired.

The shooting coach prepared a target in Director Mong’s courtyard and then prepared an air gun for Jiang Yuning to start shooting at the target.

When Jiang Yuning started shooting at the target, her posture was very professional and her shooting skills were remarkable.

In the end, the shooting coach could only give her a thumbs up. “You did very well.”

Director Mong’s assistant was standing at the corner as she started recording a video of Jiang Yuning. This was this first time he was watching a woman handling a gun and he thought that she looked very cool and refreshing.

After that, the hand combat coach stepped up to test Jiang Yuning’s skills.

The coach had initially underestimated Jiang Yuning’s ability because she of her slim and small figure. However, after Jiang Yuning directly overturned him to the ground with one move, he started to take her more seriously.

Lastly, a singing coach tested Jiang Yuning’s vocal skills and discovered that she had a really beautiful and melodious voice.

“So, Director Mong, did I pass the test?”

“I hope that you will not fail me when you are reading you script and lines too,” Director Mong replied as he pointed a finger at Jiang Yuning. “Young girl, is there anything that you can’t do in this world?”

Jiang Yuning laughed before she replied with a simple sentence. “There is nothing too difficult in this world. The only thing that I am afraid of is good people.”

Director Mong’s assistant quickly rushed over to Jiang Yuning as soon as he saw that she had already passed the test. He showed her his cell phone before he said, “Sister Yuning, I recorded a short video of all your skills earlier so that I can upload it on the Internet. You were amazing.”

Jiang Yuning gave him a questioning look.

“I asked him to do it,” Director Mong explained immediately. “I wanted to shut the mouths of those who still have doubts and questions about you. So, make sure that you give your best and try hard to get the newcomer award next year for your performance in .”

“Of course, Director Mong.”

As the short videos were all uploaded on ‘s official website, it quickly attracted the attention of many passers-by. Moreover, when artistes such as Xiao Chennan and Yao Fan started sharing the videos on their official social media accounts, the videos started garnering many views in a short period of time.

@XiaoChennan: My partner is very hardworking. I really look forward to start filming with her! @FairyYao: My dearest disciple is so cool! @NamelessOrphan: The director’s test was not challenging for Jiang Yuning at all.

As soon as the Ginger Candies saw the videos, they started sharing it on Jiang Yuning’s fan page immediately.

[So cool…she is really so cool. I can’t believe how cool she looks!]

[She is definitely professionally trained!]

[When a woman is cool, no man can ever compare to her.]

[Jiang Yuning’s smile after she shot the last bullet is so beautiful. Oh my god, I am in love…]

[Isn’t it normal for every actor or actress to prepare for their drama? When did this become something that they should show off to the public? Jiang Yuning has not changed at all.]

When Xue Li saw the user ID of the person who posted the hate comment, she found the user ID very familiar.

This was because she had seen this user ID criticizing and posting hate comments about her idol over many different platforms.

It seems as though this person was a professional hater.

Xue Li started investigating the person behind the user ID and she found out that this person was in fact the fan of a singer.

So, even the fans of a singer felt threatened by her idol’s existence now?

However, such hate comment and criticism did not carry any weight at all.

…

It was Jiang Yuning’s days off the following two days, but Jiang Yuning did not sit at home and relax. In fact, she spent her time reading her script and reciting her lines for her upcoming drama.

However, there were always people with nothing better to do, and they kept sending her negative and pessimistic text messages to her cell phone.

“Yuning, I heard about a small artiste in my company who had undergone plastic surgery to look like you. I think that she is trying to imitate your career path. You have to be careful.”

“Oh, thank you,” Jiang Yuning replied indifferently.

“It was not easy for you to finally make it this far in your career. Therefore, if you ever need my help in the future, please do not hesitate to ask me,” Zhong Hongyu said to Jiang Yuning in a charitable tone. “I feel bad for not helping you when you were struggling in the past.”

So hypocritical?

“Oh, by the way, Yuning, I have some contacts that might be useful to you. You have not had the opportunity to win any of the big awards yet, have you? Would you like me to introduce you to any of my contacts so they can help you?”

“No, thank you. I do not want you to waste your efforts on my 4.0 rated acting skills. We can talk about this later on when my acting skills have improved,” Jiang Yuning replied politely.

“Alright then. Make sure that you ask for my help in the future.”

Jiang Yuning could not help rolling her eyes.

She did not finish college, but this does not mean that she was an idiot or that she had become mentally retarded.

After that, Jiang Yuning decided to search up Zhong Hongyu’s songs so that she could listen to some of her singing…

However, after listening to it for a short while, she felt as if her ears were burning and she turned off the music immediately…

As for those who were trying to imitate her career path, Jiang Yuning could not help but laugh as she thought about it. There were no fixed plans or specific pattern to her career path. Therefore, Jiang Yuning was also curious to find out how anyone else would be able to imitate her.

Jiang Yuning had also paid attention to the name of the young artiste who was trying to follow her career path.

Her name was Xia Yun and she had recently been involved in a big idol drama.

…

On Monday morning, Vera brought Jiang Yuning to meet the person in charge of the Asian region for the endorsement of a certain watch. The other party was very cheerful and pleasant as they discussed the terms of the endorsement.

The treatment and endorsement fee that the other party was willing to offer to Jiang Yuning was extremely good. This made Vera feel a little incredulous.

“Why are they treating you so well? We hardly had to request for anything at all…”

The person in charge of the Asian region was a tall business woman. After listening to Vera’s words, she smiled before she replied, “Actually, we have already gone through our filtering process. We have already listed out the candidates that we felt were suitable to endorse our product before we started to slowly cancel out their names on the list. I hope that you do not mind me speaking like this…”

“No, please continue…” Vera replied as she really wanted to know the other reasons that had contributed to Jiang Yuning getting the endorsement contract.

“We evaluated the few artistes left on the list before finally deciding to appoint Jiang Yuning as our ambassador. We hope that this will be a long-term collaboration and we also believe that Miss Jiang’s career development will be rising steadily. Miss Jiang…has a lot of good karma.”

Jiang Yuning did not understand why the woman had said that and she looked at her with a puzzled expression on her face before she asked politely, “Could you…please explain what you mean?”

“You saved my younger brother,” the other party replied as she laughed. “My younger brother, who is only sixteen years old, was on vacation when the island was attacked by the typhoon. He was almost blown away but you grabbed his hand and saved his life that day…”

Jiang Yuning did have an idea of what the other party was referring to.

“I have not been able to thank you personally. Can I buy you a meal later in the afternoon if it is convenient for you?”

“You really don’t have to. The ones who had really helped were the hotel staff and waiters. I did not do much at all…”

“You don’t have to be so humble. My family and I are all very grateful to you.”

When Jiang Yuning saw that the other party was so insistent, she smiled before she replied, “I just feel ashamed.”

“There are no longer that many female artistes like you. You can rest assured that your appointment as the ambassador for our product has nothing to do with this private matter at all. I had merely reported everything that I know and in the end, the results were decided on and finalised by the person in charge at our headquarters in France. They had agreed with my point of view that a person’s character is in fact the most important trait we are looking for. Therefore, you do not have to worry or feel ashamed at all.”

After listening to her words, Vera felt that Jiang Yuning was bursting with good luck of late.

As long as she did good deeds, she would definitely be repaid greatly.

Was this the reward for kind and good people?

In any case, Jiang Yuning had officially secured this endorsement contract and everything was progressing smoothly for them…

Furthermore, Jiang Yuning would also be signing another endorsement contract with Fairy Tale tomorrow.

It seemed as though Jiang Yuning had really good luck recently.
