"We didn't reserve the venue. We're not open at noon today and only open in the evening. So I, the boss, am using my privileges."

Jiang Xiao glanced at Zhang Ziling and quickly explained.

That's right, the female guest was none other than Sister Shi whom he met for the second time, and he invited her over on his own initiative.

"That's considered a reserved place. I feel very honored. It's not that easy to come to Eleven for a meal. When I came here with my friends before, I waited for about a week before I successfully made a reservation."

Zhang Ziling himself picked up the red wine glass and took a sip. After putting down the wine glass, he sighed and continued.

"Really? Then if you want to come in the future, you can call me and I will help you arrange a seat. I usually reserve a vacant seat for emergencies."

While talking, Jiang Xiao promised Zhang Ziling a convenience.

To be honest, Eleven Restaurant was completely different from what he originally expected. After the trial operation, business has been very good, as evidenced by the fact that it often takes a while to make a reservation.

And sometimes only accepting reservations will attract the so-called upper class people, as if this style will be more classy.

Of course, regardless of the aspects of Eleven Restaurant, from the dining environment to the service, to the core dishes, taste, etc., it can truly be described as high-end and classy.

It does not mean that just by setting up a reservation method, followers will follow. That is obviously too superficial.

"Okay, it seems that getting to know a big star like you has a lot of benefits."

Here, Zhang Ziling did not reject Jiang Xiao's words. After all, it was in her own hands to find Jiang Xiao. She really didn't want to cause trouble to others, so there would be no trouble.

At the end, she didn't forget to ask: "Okay, big star, when you invited me over, you didn't just invite me to dinner, right?"

Regarding this point, Zhang Ziling has been very curious about this since he received the call and invitation from Jiang Xiao.

After all, to be honest, she and this guy only met once and had dinner once during the recording session.

However, it has to be said that the two of them did exchange phone numbers last time. During normal holidays and so on, or when Jiang Xiao won the Best Actor Award some time ago, she would send a congratulatory text message.

But that was all, so Zhang Ziling still didn't quite understand why the other party was looking for her. It couldn't be that he suddenly wanted to chase her, right?

Well……

Just when she thought of this, her cheeks suddenly felt warm again. Did she really miss spring? How could she think about this inexplicably?

In fact, until now, at the age of twenty-four, she has never been in love. She is too tall, taller than most boys, so almost no one dares to pursue her.

If possible, she really wishes she could be ten centimeters shorter. The height of 172 cm is considered a more suitable height for girls.

"From what you said, it seems like I have some motive that is not pure. Well, it does. I have a new play here that lacks a heroine. I would like to ask if you are willing to star in it?"

After a slight twist, Jiang Xiao finally revealed his plan directly.

"Ah? You asked me to act in a show? Did I hear you right?"

Zhang Ziling opened his mouth slightly, obviously surprised to hear such words from Jiang Xiao's mouth.

"Yes, you didn't hear it before. I asked you to act in a play. Are you surprised?"

After nodding lightly in confirmation, Jiang Xiao asked again with a smile.

"Of course it's unexpected. I'm a model and I've never filmed before. Why would you want to find me?"

The meaning behind the words was basically the biggest question that Zhang Ziling wanted to know.

"I want to find a taller actor, but there are not many tall artists in the industry, so I just thought of you!"

After thinking about it for a moment, Jiang Xiao gave a right and wrong answer.

As for the real reason, Jiang Xiao felt that he might have been influenced by Du Juan in the original version. The other person was a model, which reminded him inexplicably of Zhang Ziling, who was also a model.

In fact, at first, he also considered other actors, especially those who were closer to him.

For example, Liu Yifei was okay, playing a college student, but she was studying in the United States and had suspended all her work, and he didn't want to disturb her.

Yang Mi's words always feel like they are almost together, and more importantly, the two of them are currently in a stagnant relationship.

He can take the initiative, but he is afraid that the girl will think too much, otherwise she will not go out with him like this. Self-esteem is always difficult to explain clearly.

Zhao Liying still needs to exercise, and her temperament is not that cool.

Da Meiyuan, on the other hand, has less youthfulness and is more suitable for an intellectual role like a goddess. In addition, she is currently filming "If You Are the One", and he doesn't want her to be too tired.

In addition, Fan Binbin is similar. He looks too beautiful and is not suitable. He made it clear to him last time.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Xiao finally thought of Zhang Ziling.

Although Sister Shi is tall, she has a ladylike temperament. As long as she doesn't make too many expressions, she can completely create the image of a stranger approaching her.

"Really? I didn't expect that my tall body would bring me good luck. Aren't you afraid that I might not act well and ruin your movie?"

Zhang Ziling, who didn't have much confidence, was still a little hesitant after hearing Jiang Xiao's explanation.

"Don't be afraid. This role doesn't require any actress-level acting skills. Just take it seriously. I think your image and temperament are more suitable for it."

"Besides, no matter what you do, you start from scratch, so this is not very important."

"How about it? Accept my invitation?"

After finishing his words, Jiang Xiao smiled again and asked Sister Shi.

"Then if I don't accept it, are you not going to treat me to dinner? Haha~!!!"

After she finished speaking, Zhang Ziling couldn't help but cover her mouth and started laughing.

"You're looking down on me. Am I such a stingy person? I'll just ask you to pay. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao also responded jokingly.

"Yeah, listening to what you said, it seems that I can't agree even if I don't agree. Why don't I bring money? After all, a meal in your restaurant is not cheap."

Of course Zhang Ziling didn't really have any money with him, he just wanted to match the atmosphere of the conversation.

Then she naturally became interested. After winning the Miss World title, her life has undergone a lot of changes. Although she has no long-term career plans, it may be feasible to try filming.

The only thing she was worried about was whether she could meet this new challenge and whether she would be worthy of Jiang Xiao's trust. After all, she didn't have much concept of acting at all.

"Then I'll take it as your promise and ask someone to contact your agency later. This matter has been decided happily, and you can eat your meal with confidence. I'll give it to you, ha~!!"

Jiang Xiao, who had more or less heard Zhang Ziling's move, had anything else to say, so he took advantage of the situation and answered.

"Wow, you won't let me think about it? At least tell me what kind of role you want to play first?"

Zhang Ziling inquired.

"Okay, let me briefly describe it to you. The heroine is a student who is obsessed with the dream of studying abroad. She unexpectedly fell in love with the hero during college."

"Originally, the two planned to study abroad together, but the male protagonist failed to get a visa to the United States, and the female protagonist ended up going to the United States alone."

"As we are far apart, our experiences are different. After persisting for a period of time, the love across the Pacific Ocean finally broke. The heroine took the initiative to break up. This is probably the role you are going to play."

"Why does it sound like he is a bit selfish, a villain who was blinded by foreign glitz and abandoned love?"

"Are you sure this is the heroine? Rather than the second female lead with a bit of a villain, it is specially used to set off the real intelligent heroine. After the second female lead left the male protagonist, the heroine stepped forward to encourage the male protagonist and accompany him all the way.

to success.”

"Until one day, the successful male protagonist and the female protagonist unexpectedly met the second female lead of the year. In fact, she was very unsatisfied and impoverished abroad, forming a strong contrast, ha!"

As soon as Jiang Xiao finished speaking, Zhang Ziling made an immediate comment and made up a storyline in his mind.

"Uh... I have to admit that according to the bloody Mary Sue routine, the cliché story you imagined is very correct, but what I want to say is that my movie is not a Mary Sue, it is just a very realistic growth story.

It’s just a story.”

"The heroine is just a typical representative of an era, and there is no right or wrong."
