Chapter 156: Mistakenly Being an Auditioner
After dinner, Rumeng helped her grandmother to sit on the special chair in the living room, and made tea for her before going back to her room to dress up.
It was twenty minutes later when she came downstairs.
After telling Aunt Zhang some details that needed to be paid attention to in taking care of grandma, Rumeng hurried out.
She originally wanted to keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious, but when Chu Xing sent her grandmother out in the morning and drove her favorite car out, she drove Chu Xing's favorite Lamborghini Reventon out.
Ru Meng shrugged and muttered, "There's nothing I can do. I don't want to show my strength, but my strength doesn't allow it."
She slowly drove the car out of the Chu family villa, and the gate closed automatically, but Rumeng still stopped the car and waited for the door to be locked before driving away.
Although she knew that Chu Xing had strengthened the security around her villa, she had to be cautious at this critical juncture.
Rumeng drove her supercar slowly away from the villa area. When she turned into the Municipal Avenue, she carefully observed whether there were any suspicious vehicles nearby.
After she and Chu Xing went to the publishing house and found themselves being followed, and after Han Ge and Song Yang were followed when they went to the hospital to visit their father-in-law, she became extra careful.
Rumeng observed for a moment and did not find any suspicious vehicles. She stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the target location - Xinghai Publishing House.
At this time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
The time she and Cheng Ning agreed to meet was 30:20 p.m., which left minutes until the scheduled time. If there was no traffic jam, at her current speed, she would arrive in about minutes.
It is a hot summer day and the sun is scorching in the sky.
At this time, people are taking a lunch break or avoiding the heat, there are not many people or cars going out, and the roads are very smooth.
Rumeng arrived a few minutes earlier than expected. After parking the car, she curled her lips and smiled, "Ms. Rumeng, the life you long for is about to begin. Come on!"
Just as Rumeng was about to open the car door and get out, the phone in her hand rang. It was Cheng Ning calling. She answered immediately, "Hello! Editor-in-Chief Cheng, we are so in tune with each other. I was just about to call you."
"Hello! Miss Rumeng, I have a feeling that we will not only have a pleasant cooperation, but also become good friends." Cheng Ning said with a smile.
Ru Meng smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to our win-win situation!"
"I'm looking forward to it too!" Cheng Ning said with a smile. She paused for a moment and then asked, "Where have you been?"
"I just arrived downstairs at the publishing house, parked my car and was about to get out when your call came in." Rumeng said.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the sun-baked ground outside the car window and couldn't help but frown.
Cheng Ning sighed, then apologized, "Ms. Rumeng, I'm so sorry! I may have to trouble you to wait for a while. I'm on my way back to the publishing house, but unfortunately I encountered a traffic accident ahead and was stuck in traffic for half an hour. The publishing house is not too far away, but I just can't go."
Ru Meng comforted her, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to be in a hurry either."
"Thank you, Miss Rumeng." Cheng Ning said. She paused for a moment and then continued, "Where are you now? I'll contact my assistant to take you to my office to rest."
"I'm still in the car, don't bother, I'll just hang out in the rest area downstairs or in the bookstore next door, just call me when you get back." Rumeng said. She then comforted him, "You don't have to worry, I'm not in a hurry."
Cheng Ning expressed his gratitude: "Beautiful and considerate Miss Rumeng, you are so kind! Let's talk about it when we meet later."
"Okay, you'll be safe this way." Ru Meng said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you!" Cheng Ning said, her tone full of apology and gratitude.
After finishing the call with Cheng Ning, Rumeng stared at the scorching sun outside the window for a moment, then opened the car door, got out and quickly walked towards the gate of the publishing house's office building.
As she walked to the entrance of the office building lobby, a receptionist wearing a ribbon with "XX Female No. 2 Stand-in Audition" on it came over and said, "Miss, are you registering online or offline? Do you have all the information with you?"
Ru Meng was stunned for several seconds before she realized, "Sorry, I'm not here to participate in your event."
"Then you...?" The receptionist hesitated, looking confused.
She received countless beauties who came for auditions early in the morning, and they all tried to curry favor with her, hoping that their registration information would be prioritized.
But this beautiful lady in front of me not only didn't bring any information, but also kept explaining that she was not here for an audition. She didn't look like a staff member working here. Employees here need to wear work cards when entering and exiting. Could she be... ?
Just as Rumeng was explaining to the receptionist, she heard a noisy chatter of female voices behind her. One of the girls said to her, "Hey, if you don't want to audition, then stop bothering us and wasting our time."
Rumeng ignored the girl behind her and didn't look back. It wasn't her fault. The staff was stuck at the door and she had to communicate clearly before she could enter.
The receptionist was also a fool. Rumeng repeatedly said that she was here to discuss business, not to audition, but the receptionist kept pestering her with questions.
Rumeng is a civilized person. If others don't deliberately provoke her and don't keep picking on her, she won't fight back.
However, several women behind her began to insult Ru Meng impatiently one after another, even though staff came over to advise them to wait in line quietly and not to be anxious.
But a few women seemed to be unhappy unless they found trouble, and they kept chattering and cursing.
Ru Meng couldn't stand it any longer, so she turned around and wanted to say something to them, but she found that among the four women standing behind her, the one standing at the back was actually Xu Feifei.
She was stunned for a few seconds, then she found it funny. Could Xu Feifei... have she fallen to the point of being a stand-in for the second female lead? What was going on?
Weren’t you looking so cool in the supermarket with Liao Bihua last night?
Rumeng's mind was full of question marks, and she couldn't help but feel funny in her heart. Perhaps this was the case that evildoers will be punished by God.
Xu Feifei was also very surprised when she saw Rumeng!
Today, Rumeng's outfit is more like that of a career woman, which is completely different from the usual Rumeng who is dressed in plain clothes without makeup. She has light makeup, looks energetic and capable, and looks very good.
Xu Fei was filled with envy and jealousy. She began to encourage the three women in front of her, "She is just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. She is not slow, but dull."
"Do you know her?" asked the woman standing in front of Xu Feifei.
"Not very familiar with her. One of my good sisters was her college classmate. My sister told me that she was an illegitimate daughter who was raised in the countryside. Later, she was brought to the city to study and was sold by her father and stepmother."
I see. No wonder he's so slow in doing things. People like him even come to audition and compete with us for spots. How shameless.
