Dong Ni looked up and replied seriously, “Don’t worry, I can remember.”

Jiang Huai looked at Dong Ni with interest and deliberately asked, “Then repeat it for me to hear.”

Dong Ni looked down at her phone and began to repeat it with a straight face.

A few minutes later, Jiang Huai looked at Dong Ni in surprise. “Your writing speed is really fast! Can 1 see your phone?”

Dong Ni smiled and handed the phone over without even thinking. Jiang Huai looked down and realized that Dong Ni was using shorthand.

Dong Ni smiled and explained, “I’m stupid. I write slowly, and I remember things even slower. In the past, when 1 was studying, 1 always couldn’t copy what the teacher wrote on the board. Every time after class, 1 had to spend time borrowing notes from my classmates to copy. Later, in high school, my parents enrolled me in a shorthand training class. That was why I didn’t have to spend all my class time copying notes.”

Jiang Huai returned the phone to Dong Ni. “Stupid birds fly first. Diligence can make up for one’s shortcomings. At least when 1 see you now, I feel that all your efforts in the past have paid off.”

When Dong Ni heard Jiang Huai’s words, her eyes lit up. “Brother Huai, do you mean that you think my acting skills are alright now?”

Jiang Huai looked at Dong Ni fixedly. “Do you want to hear the truth or something nice?”

Dong Ni immediately replied, “Of course the truth! I’m not afraid of criticism. If you have anything to say, just say it. It’s the same during filming in the future. If there’s anything I’m doing wrong, please tell me directly. Don’t say it tactfully because you care too much about my emotions. I’m really stupid. If you don’t say it directly, I’m afraid I’ll misunderstand.”

This was the first time Jiang Huai had seen someone say that they were stupid in front of him. The women who appeared by his side would only show their good side in front of him.

Jiang Huai’s first reaction when he heard this was actually to wonder if this was another way for Dong Ni to get close to him. However, seeing the eagerness and sincerity in her eyes, he was more inclined to believe that this was most likely her true personality.

Jiang Huai smiled. “Your acting skills do have a lot of room for improvement, but compared to actresses of the same age, your performance is indeed better than most people. However, when it comes to work, you should always compare yourself to the higher-ups, not the people below.”

“Since you have the heart to learn, as long as you’re not afraid that my words will hurt you, if there are any problems during the filming, I’ll tell you directly. If you have any thoughts about the role, you can come to me to communicate.”

Dong Ni did not expect that this unintentional interaction would bring her so many benefits.

One had to know that in order to film the feeling he wanted, the director would indeed do his best to train the actors. This was also considered tacit approval in the industry, but Jiang Huai’s clear expression of it meant something different. Moreover, he was such a person who had won international awards.

Dongni chose to enter this industry because of Jiang Huai, but she was not a crazy fan of celebrities. To her, Jiang Huai was like a ray of light in her dark high school life, accompanying her through the most difficult period of her third year of high school.

After entering this industry, Jiang Huai became the lighthouse that Dong Ni had to chase after. He gave her the motivation and direction to move forward when she was confused many times. Now that she heard Jiang Huai acknowledge her, Dong Ni was a little excited. She stood up and bowed. “Thank you, Brother Huai! 1 will definitely work hard!”

When Jiang Huai saw how excited Dong Ni was, he chuckled. He was just saying it. The words hadn’t even become true yet. It was like painting a rosy picture. He didn’t expect this girl to not doubt him and completely believe his words.

Jiang Huai looked at Dong Ni and said, “Hurry up and go sit down. Otherwise, you’ll become the center of attention. Has anyone ever said that you’re easy to fool?”

Dong Ni looked around and quickly sat on the extra stool at the side. She looked embarrassed and scratched her forehead. “Yes, they have, but I’m not so easy to fool! I’m more vigilant than you think!”

Dong Ni subconsciously thought that Jiang Huai was talking about those unwritten rules in the industry, so she defended herself.

Jiang Huai’s smile deepened and he did not continue on that topic. “Since our company has signed you, it means that we acknowledge you. Work hard.”

Dong Ni was so excited that she wanted to stand up again. Jiang Huai hurriedly reached out to stop her and said jokingly, “Hey, don’t bow to me again. I’m not much older than you. Don’t shorten my lifespan by bowing..”
