After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 49 The little girl is twenty-six!

only……

What hasn't Director Wang seen? Why does he value egrets so much?
Qin Fei's inner alarm bells were ringing; their circle... wasn't exactly clean!

Everyone was impeccably dressed, but the filth and rot inside were completely invisible to outsiders.

In their circle, profit is paramount, and there is no such thing as undeserved favor, especially for a pretty girl like Bai Lu with no background. To receive such favor from a big director, she couldn't help but think of the darker side of things.

She pulled Bailu's arm, making her stand behind her, before saying, "Bailu, do you know Director Wang? Did you pass the audition for one of his films?"

Although she was talking to Bailu, her eyes were fixed on Director Wang's expression.

Qin Fei subconsciously assumed that Bai Lu and Director Wang knew each other because of their collaboration on a film; she couldn't think of any other reason.

She sighed inwardly, "Silly child!"
She had to talk to her aunt. Although the family wasn't wealthy, they didn't need to send their child out to earn quick money!

If you just want to act, you can contact me. I can't arrange any major roles for you, but... it's safe!

You're looking for a big-name director!

But sis, your approach is pretty unconventional!
My sister has been working for ten years and still hasn't gotten close to Director Wang. You haven't even debuted yet, and you're already acting in his movies.
That's a high starting point!
Bai Lu blinked. How would she know about any auditions for Director Wang?

Director Wang then hurriedly said, "Cousin Feifei... no, Teacher Fei!"

In their circle, calling someone "teacher" is always a safe bet!
Qin Fei was terrified. A famous director called her "teacher"? She was utterly flattered!

"You're too kind—just call me Qin Fei..."

Qin Fei felt conflicted; she didn't know why Director Wang was acting this way.

Director Wang readily agreed: "Okay, Ms. Fei, how about we talk in a private room?"

They met on the path near the private rooms in the lobby. Although there weren't many people there, it wasn't deserted, especially the waiters. Several groups of them had passed by, probably just looking for some gossip.

Qin Fei actually had an appointment here, but thinking of Bai Lu, she still followed her into the private room and then took Bai Lu to the restroom in the room.

With a stern face, she asked Bailu, "Tell me, what happened? Didn't your mother say you weren't feeling well and needed to rest at home for a while? Why did you come all the way to the capital? And you even met Director Wang, Lu Bao? The entertainment industry is much more complicated than you think, it's not easy to get by! Take my advice, go home, okay?"

Qin Fei is ten years older than Bai Lu. She started her career in the entertainment industry as an extra and worked her way up on her own for fifteen years.

She treated acting like a job, and she was constantly taking on roles, but they were all minor ones. When she was younger, she could play the male lead's ex-girlfriend or sister, but as she got older, she was only able to play the male lead's mother, aunt, or other similar roles.

Qin Fei wasn't picky, after all, she knew she had no chance of becoming a film or television queen, so what difference did it make what role she took?
Perhaps it was because she was much older than Bailu, so in her mind "26-year-old Bailu" was still a child, and she was very worried about him.

"Sister Feifei, it's not what you think. I didn't want to act. It's just that it's a bit complicated to explain."

The egret's face was all scrunched up like a bitter gourd.

How can she explain this?
My cousin, who was just an ordinary girl in her older cousin's eyes, suddenly became a guest of honor of Director Wang!

Moreover, and very importantly, my cousin will definitely tell her mom about what happened today!
Even if she promises to her face that she won't tell, she'll definitely tell Qin Xiu as soon as she turns around!

No martial ethics at all!

Because she didn't want Qin Xiu and the others to know about her past, Bai Lu was even considering whether to cast a forgetting spell on Qin Fei to erase her memory of meeting her today!

But seeing her cousin's concerned expression, she held back: "How about we go out to eat first? I'm hungry..."

Qin Fei patted her on the shoulder: "You think this meal is so delicious! Let me tell you, big directors like them love young girls like you the most..."

Bai Lu quickly interrupted her: "Sister, the girl is twenty-six..."

Compared to an eighteen-year-old girl, she's already quite old!

Qin Fei was taken aback, then suddenly laughed: "Really!"

Eighteen years old, crisp and youthful.

Twenty-eight, rotten tea dregs.

But if a girl reaches 28 and hasn't debuted yet, she basically has no future in this industry.

No matter how good it looks, no one is willing to support it anymore.

It's cruel, but it's the truth.

Realizing this, Qin Fei shamefully felt relieved.
"Let's go, it's alright!"

Bai Lu put her arm around Qin Fei's shoulder and walked out.

Little did they know that while a small meeting was taking place in the restroom, a major meeting was being held inside the private room. The large room had only six people sitting around a round table. Director Wang glanced at the closed restroom door and asked Bai Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, do you know Qin Fei?"

Bai Xiao shook his head: "Lu Lu mentioned her to me, but I've never met her. I only know that she's an actress, but I'm not sure what works she's had."

"I thought she looked familiar just now, like I'd seen her in a movie before, so I searched her on Baidu—"

The second female lead, Zhao Shanshan, continued, "Sure enough, I worked with her on a show. She played a vicious aunt in my husband's family, and she was killed off after only five scenes."

Chang Xin's slender fingers swiped back and forth on his phone: "I also searched it up. Teacher Fei... debuted at twenty-one and is thirty-six this year. She is good at playing supporting roles."

Bai Xiao's body involuntarily leaned back, whoosh—

Oh my God!

Chinese culture is profound and extensive!

Chang Xin is quite good at speaking!
①She's just a background character!

②She excels at playing supporting roles!
Compared to the two, the sense of sophistication is immediately apparent!

Upon hearing this, Director Wang understood the situation.

She kept racking her brains, trying to find a suitable role for herself.

The master's cousin!

He had to accept this incredible fortune!
At this moment, Qin Fei and Bai Lu came out. Except for Bai Xiao, everyone present stood up in a panic, which startled Qin Fei so much that she took a step back and almost stepped on Bai Lu's foot.

Bai Xiao was starving. She was eating side dishes while they were talking. Suddenly, they all stood up, which surprised her.

Looking around blankly, he stood up as well, chopsticks in hand.

When I stood up, I realized, well, welcome back, egret, out of the toilet!

What a grand display!
"Everyone, please don't be like this." Bai Lu poked her head out from behind Qin Fei. "Please sit down!"

Director Wang personally led Bai Lu to the head seat, and thoughtfully handed her a hot towel to put her hands in, as well as a napkin to put her legs up, before bringing the menu to Bai Lu.

"Miss Bai, shall we order now? What would you like to eat?"

Qin Fei: "..."

She wasn't stupid; given the situation, she dared not think anything further!
Is this the attitude a director should have towards a young girl who is about to be sexually exploited?
At this point, Qin Fei believed what Bai Lu had said; things really weren't as she thought!

This isn't some kind of unspoken rule, it's like worshipping your ancestors!
They didn't even dare to order the food themselves! And they made them sit in the head seat!

How humble?!
Bai Lu also felt that it was unnecessary to wait for her to order, so she pushed the menu back: "You can decide, or if you really can't, just ask Bai Xiao to order!"

This girl is so hungry she's practically starving.

Director Wang wasn't sure what Bai Lu liked, so Bai Xiao accepted the task. While ordering food, she looked at the illustrations on the menu and felt even hungrier.

While waiting for the food to be served, the table was a bit quiet. Qin Fei looked around at the people at the table. Apart from Bai Xiao, they were all faces that were active on the screen. In other words, they were all very popular actors or idols.

Qin Fei was not on the same level as them. They didn't recognize each other when they met. To be precise, Qin Fei knew them, but they didn't know her.

But when she looked over, they all smiled and nodded at her, appearing very approachable, not at all like the arrogant people people described.

Seeing that the private room was too quiet, Director Wang changed the subject: "Ms. Fei, my new movie is currently casting. I wonder if you would be interested?"

"Of course!" Qin Fei's heart skipped a beat: "I auditioned for the role of Chen Fangfei, the male lead's stepmother, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you!"

"There's a chance! There's a chance!" Director Wang immediately said, "Besides this role, is there any other role you'd like to play?"

As a director, he naturally knows all the characters in a movie. The male lead's stepmother is not a positive character; she is the one who gets criticized.

Seeing Director Wang's "take your pick" attitude, Qin Fei swallowed hard: "This role... is pretty good!"

Eighty scenes! Although he wasn't playing a good guy!
But none of that matters. As long as the money is right, it doesn't matter what role she plays. After all these years, she's played so many bad women that her image is so bad that even her mother called to scold her!

Director Wang wanted to say something more, but then the waiter started serving the dishes, so he had to suppress his thoughts. He thought he would think about it carefully when he got back, watch her dramas, and choose a role for her based on her acting skills!
So after the waiter left, Director Wang immediately took out his phone: "Shall we add each other on WeChat and talk in detail?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Bailu and, seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he opened his phone, scanned the QR code to add her as a friend, placed it on the dining table, and handed it to Qin Fei.

"Ah? Oh!"

Qin Fei didn't react for a moment, but her hands and mouth moved faster than her brain: "I'll scan you!"

Qin Fei was stunned when she saw the friend request that had been accepted. She had just... added the famous director on WeChat?

She came here for dinner today because a friend of hers got in touch with an assistant director, so she invited a group of people who wanted to get roles to treat the assistant director to dinner together. Otherwise, the prices here are too high, and one person wouldn't be willing to spend the money!
She was also hoping to get the role, so she came along.

Who knew that instead of meeting the assistant director, I ran into the director himself here and even added him on WeChat!
Goodness gracious, my little cousin is something else!
Knowing that Director Wang had no ill intentions towards Bai Lu, Qin Fei felt relieved. At the same time, she also realized that she had benefited from Bai Lu's influence. But what had she done to make Director Wang so humble?
Director Wang was even more excited than Qin Fei.

The master's cousin!
Although it's still unclear what the master's attitude is towards this cousin, their relationship seems to be quite good.

Master Zhaofu's cousin is practically equivalent to Master Zhaofu!
Hopefully, the chances of getting help from a master in the future will be higher.

But judging from Qin Fei's behavior, she doesn't seem to know much about the master.

Director Wang was in a dilemma. The purpose of this meal was to enhance his relationship with the master. If the master did not want to be too high-profile, wouldn't it ruin the master's plans if he said too much?

So he didn't dare to be too enthusiastic; instead, he would simply turn to face Bailu every time a dish was served.

"Miss Bai, please try this tofu soup—"

"Miss Bai, please try this Dendrobium and Fish Maw Stew—"

"Miss Bai, please try this morel mushroom and sea cucumber stew—"

The dishes were delicious and visually appealing, but Bai Lu was already full even without eating. Under Qin Fei's watchful gaze, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Director Wang, you're so hospitable and welcoming..."

Even after saying it, he himself didn't believe it.

She smiled politely at Director Wang.

Isn't it said that directors are all very perceptive?
Where are your eyeballs?!

Now look what's happened! All the secrets she's kept hidden for so long have been exposed by you!
Director Wang's heart skipped a beat when Bai Lu stared at him. What was wrong? He had already been very restrained! Otherwise, he would have stood up to serve the master the food!
His friend had just developed a piece of land, but a lot of problems arose. He consulted many experts, but none of them could figure out what was wrong. He was just thinking of asking Bailu to take a look!
We must treat them well!
Even the egret wasn't full after that meal.

Qin Fei is the same.

Since she was having dinner with the director, she wasn't quite at ease. She exclaimed, "This is the first time I've been to a restaurant where the average cost per person is 5,000 yuan, and I'm still not full..."

Bai Lu turned around and went back: "Let's order a few more dishes to take home and eat!"

You can neglect anything but your own stomach!
I just made several million in money; how can I keep farming if I don't spend it all?!

"Eh eh eh——"

Qin Fei quickly pulled her back and whispered, "Lu Bao! It's not that bad. We've been to such high-end places before and broadened our horizons. It's really unnecessary to spend another ten or twenty thousand yuan out of our own pockets!"

In the past two years, with the economic downturn, making money has become incredibly difficult!

"fine!"

Bailu is rich and powerful. In the past, her cousins' families helped her family. Now, her cousin just wants a meal, so how could she not grant her wish!
She now finally understands why nouveau riche always love to show off, and she wants to show off in front of her cousin too!

Ultimately, she was just an ordinary person. She was ordinary in the modern world, ordinary in the cultivation world, and only gained a little bit of ability after transmigrating back. But because she was used to being ordinary, she was always a little hesitant and timid when doing things.

She really didn't want to reveal herself in front of people she knew well, because this wasn't the cultivation world, where "humans are the foundation."

A person refers to an individual, a single person.

Especially those of them who came from the mortal world to the immortal cultivation world, their kinship ties have been severed, they have no relatives, and their friendships are superficial. Everyone is quite selfish in order to increase their cultivation level and achieve immortality.

But in this modern society.

The egret has a home!

Even though her family of origin had its flaws, it was still a home she could never let go of.

No matter how many flaws the people in this family have, they are still her family.

She couldn't abandon them, which led to many practical reasons influencing the egret's actions.
