Reborn As Lucky Star
Chapter 762 Qiao Jing

Chapter 762: Chapter 762 Qiao Jing

Li Jiaguo and Ding Xiulan had a clear strategy in mind.

Yet, Yue Qingqing had not left home at all.

She originally planned to meet up with friends and her senior brothers in Zhuancheng and Lingguang, but a call from Gong Qiming changed her plans.

She also wanted to know what exactly had happened to her junior brother.

Gong Qiming had timed it perfectly, heading for Zhuancheng as soon as Yue Qingqing’s exams were over.

The film crew that had just wrapped up shooting stayed deep in the mountains and forests where there wasn’t even a bus station, let alone an airport.

He and his manager finally managed to hitch a ride on a villager’s bumpy ox cart to the county town before finding a car.

It was such a bumpy journey that he felt his bones might fall apart.

Gong Qiming nattered on with complaints, "Director Qi always picks such godforsaken places without a single good road. How many years has it been since I last rode in an ox cart? Trying to cut costs is one thing, but isn’t it better to just build sets in the film & television city? And then acting all high and mighty about ’artistic pursuit’, bah, look at how many mosquito bites I have."

The woman beside him, in her thirties and with a no-nonsense hairstyle, her hair tightly coiled at the back of her head, wore a look of someone who had seen through life’s illusions and attained great enlightenment.

Anyone forced to ride in an ox cart with Gong Qiming and listen to his nonsense for hours might well consider taking the monastic path.

Even the ox, upon leaving, swung its tail at Gong Qiming and plopped down a big pile of dung.

Consider it a fond farewell.

Gong Qiming had long mastered the art of talking non-stop even without any response, and he suddenly laughed, sending chills down the spine.

"If Yan Sinian were sitting up there, there would be quite a spectacle to watch. I can imagine his dusty, dirty face trying to look expressionless but actually ready to vomit to death."

Qiao Jing couldn’t care less about who Yan Sinian was and wished she could go back a few years and give herself a good slap in the face.

Back then, Gong Qiming had come of age, ready to try a wider range of roles and in need of a professional manager.

So the boss entrusted the new, naïve, and socially unaware Qiao Jing with this important task.

Qiao Jing was teary-eyed with gratitude, never expecting such a wonderful opportunity would land on a newcomer like her.

There were so many experienced and well-connected agents in the company, but the choice fell on her, a fresh convert to the management line, a great honor and a show of trust.

At that time, Qiao Jing silently swore to herself to devote her heart and soul to the company and not to betray its trust.

However, after spending over a month with Gong Qiming, Qiao Jing realized that the tears she had shed back then were nothing but water in the brain.

Tired. Just destroy it.

What a crappy company!

Later at the annual meeting, Qiao Jing also asked the boss why he had to set her up, when she was still so hopeful about the world at the time.

The boss stepped back, wary of Qiao Jing smashing a wineglass on his head, and smiled sheepishly.

"I figured since your name is Qiao Jing, you know, ’qiao’ as in ’lack,’ and you provide what’s lacking. Maybe Gong Qiming will be quieter in the future."

For the first time in her life, Qiao Jing hated her own name!

Gong Qiming seemed to finally realize his manager’s indifference and poked her with his finger.

"Sister Qiao, why are you daydreaming and not talking? We’ll be in Zhuancheng in a few hours. I was telling you about my junior sister. Not only is she pretty, but she also has a really good personality, definitely suited for that what’s it called, oh right, reality show. How did we even end up imitating those foreign programs? Won’t my handsome and dashing image become too obvious? Man, talent is like pregnancy; it can’t be hidden even if you want to."

Qiao Jing couldn’t take it anymore and gritted her teeth, "Shut up!"

If she were guilty of anything, let the law punish her—but why make her Gong Qiming’s manager?

Gong Qiming got the message immediately, "Okay, okay, I’ll stop. I get it, non-disclosure agreement and all that."

Qiao Jing: "..."
