375: Chapter 382: The Disheveled Grand Director 375: Chapter 382: The Disheveled Grand Director John Smith sat across from Jas Brown.
Jas was so formidable and dismissive towards him, which made John Smith feel that Jas might indeed be genuinely imposing.
To make a film or a TV show, he needed to be on good terms with these wealthy bosses to pull in investnts.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to manage it on his own.
First, with a modest smile, John Smith said, “Mr.
Brown, forgive my boldness, I know so famous people in YODC City, but I have never t Mr.
Brown before.
May I ask what kind of business you are in?”
Jas Brown smiled lightly, “Then you’re mistaken, I’m not in business.”
“Are you a governnt official then?”
Jas Brown’s smile grew broader, “That’s not it either.”
“Then you are…” John Smith was already frowning.
Nowadays, if you’re not an official or a businessman, you’re not considered a big shot.
Jas Brown lit a cigarette and said, “I’m just a regular employee.”
Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog admired Jas Brown even more.
Usually, those second-generation officials and rich kids can’t wait to let others know how important they are, how amazing they are.
But only Jas Brown, despite being so capable, insisted on not letting people know.
And it’s not that he was pretending to be a tiger by being a pig; he was truly calm and composed, not making a big deal out of his status.
Now that’s a real man!
At this point, John Smith’s face changed, but still suppressing his annoyance, he said, “Mr.
Brown, may I know what important position you hold in your company?”
Jas Brown flicked so ashes off his cigarette and replied, “I’m just an ordinary departnt manager, not at all an important position.”
Hearing this, a surge of anger rose in John Smith’s heart.
A re departnt manager was being so arrogant towards him, this was a severe lack of Vision Level.
But to lose his temper at Jas Brown would only dean his own status.
So, with a stern face, he turned to Jennifer Hog and said, “Laura, I still have so important people for you to et.
How can you afford to chat here with just a regular departnt manager indefinitely?
Don’t you know what’s important?”
At this point, he vented his frustration through Jennifer Hog, and it was also a knock on Jas Brown.
A broken departnt manager, he really looked down upon him.
Jas Brown said with a smile, “Laura, if you’re busy, you should go ahead.”
Although Jennifer Hog saw the smile on Jas Brown’s face, John Smith’s words were clearly mocking Jas Brown, which would have offended Jas Brown.
Even though John Smith might be able to further her career, Jas Brown’s status in her heart was clearly higher than John Smith’s.
Therefore, without even weighing her options, Jennifer Hog smiled at John Smith and said, “Director Jackson, sorry, but I would like to chat more with Jas.
Please go ahead with your things.”
“What?” John Smith could hardly believe his own ears.
A television host from YODC City was outright rejecting him, a famous director.
At this mont, Alice Brown also smiled and said, “Director Jackson, I’m sorry, but we haven’t seen Jas in such a long ti, and we just want to catch up.”
Influenced by Jas Brown, both Jennifer Hog and Alice Brown spoke to John Smith with a calm and peaceful tone, but under this deanor, they were essentially showing him the door.
This made John Smith’s face extrely unpleasant to look at.
He was a big-ti director, actors fawned over him, except for so super big-na stars nationally, other actors dared not defy him.
If he demanded they sleep with him, those female stars would strip naked to serve him.
Especially the expressions on Jennifer Hog and Alice Brown, they were too much for him to handle.
The two of them ca off as far too composed, appearing as though they didn’t think much of him at all.
Jumping to his feet, John Smith said fiercely, “Very well, Jennifer Hog, I’m officially telling you now, you no longer need to think about getting any opportunities on screen from .”
At this mont, Jennifer Hog still had that radiant smile, saying, “That’s okay, if I don’t appear on screen then I don’t appear on screen.”
John Smith felt like he had exerted all his energy to deliver a heavy punch only to hit it on a soft bundle of cotton, an indescribably uncomfortable feeling.
For a woman wanting to be a star, being blacklisted should be an extrely harsh sentence.
In his view, when he said this, Jennifer Hog should be either begging for his forgiveness in tears or at least showing a look of great shock.
But who knew, Jennifer Hog still wore that sa smiling face, shining brightly, not taking the ban seriously at all.
This is simply the utmost contempt for him.
He felt that his heavy punch was not forceful enough, and he furiously said: “Fine, let tell you sothing else, you won’t have a chance to appear on screen, not just with , but in this entire circle.”
If Jas Brown weren’t here, Jennifer Hog might have believed John Smith’s words, but now, with Jas here, what John Smith said had no intimidating power at all.
She still said with a smile: “Being on screen isn’t all that great, and then having to put up with your dirty gas?
I’d be at a huge disadvantage, right Jas?”
Jas Brown knew full well that Jennifer Hog was flattering and acting cute to please him, treating him like an omnipotent young master from the Capital of SSUP.
But under these circumstances, he couldn’t disagree and simply smiled slightly, saying: “You’re not wrong, the film industry is indeed a bit ssy, being a TV host is good for you.”
Jennifer Hog nodded repeatedly, saying: “Mmm, then I’ll just listen to Jas, I’ll be content being my TV host self and stop thinking about all those ssy things.”
John Smith only felt a stuffiness in his chest and a saltiness in his throat, his usually very effective intimidating tactics couldn’t even scare a local TV host like Jennifer Hog.
At this mont, Alice Brown said to John Smith: “Director Jackson, sorry to bother you, you needn’t pay attention to small fry like us, we’re just here to chat among ourselves.”
“Fine, let’s wait and see,” John Smith spewed out a harsh remark, but left in a very embarrassing manner.
Now, Jennifer Hog grabbed Jas Brown’s arm and gently shook it, coquettishly saying: “Jas, I’ve given up my future prospects now, you can’t just ignore now.”
Before Jas Brown could reply, Alice Brown hastily interjected: “Jas, don’t mind her, Laura is just joking.
We aren’t even interested in acting in the first place.” As she spoke, she gave Jennifer Hog a aningful look.
Jennifer Hog imdiately regretted her actions; knowing Jas Brown wasn’t like those profligate youths that could be easily swayed by acting cute, she quickly tried to and her mistake and said: “Mr.
Smith, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.” Her face, however, already showed uncontrollable panic.
In reality, Jas Brown wasn’t at all upset with Jennifer Hog.
As presenters, what they were best at was using body language to convey their requests.
Jas wasn’t very familiar with Jennifer Hog and didn’t know her well, but he did trust Alice Brown’s character.
Since Jennifer got along so well with Alice, he had a good impression of Jennifer by association.
“Heh, you’re saying you’d ruin your future because of , yet I haven’t even apologized to you, so why are you saying sorry to ?”
Jennifer Hog still felt unsure and said softly: “But just now, I acted like I was currying favor with you.”
“That’s nothing, if you really have the intention to develop in this area, I can help you.
But you should really think it over.
Joining this industry, while it may seem glamorous, the price to pay in the end is simply too much.
Oh, you’re a host already, so you should understand this circle well.”
Upon hearing Jas Brown say this, Jennifer Hog’s heart leapt with joy.
She wanted to imdiately agree, but as the words reached her lips, she hesitated, biting her lip and said: “Can I…
delay my decision for now?”
Jas Brown nodded in approval and said: “That’s good, don’t rush any decisions, especially since it’s a matter of great importance in life.
Once you think it over, just give a call.”
Jennifer Hog nodded repeatedly, cheerfully saying to Jas Brown: “I knew Jas, you’d definitely not ignore .”
Alice Brown shook her head, feeling sorry for Jennifer Hog.
Jennifer’s ambitions were greater than her own; she wanted to beco a top star, which was why she was hesitant.
If it were Alice in her position, she would have imdiately declined any thought of becoming a star, because winning Jas Brown’s affection was far more important than anything else.
Even among good friends, thoughts cannot always align.
They only share most common interests.
Each person has the right to choose their own life.
Alice Brown’s dream now is to beco Jas Brown’s lover, while Jennifer Hog values her career more.
Jas Brown was chatting with the two beautiful hosts and was in a good mood, but he began to feel sothing was off.
Why hadn’t Grace Lopez co back yet?
It wasn’t like her at all, especially when he was surrounded by two beauties.
She should have co back to watch over them even earlier.
He looked around and finally saw Grace Lopez.
She was at the buffet, chatting with a woman.
The woman had her back to Jas Brown, so he couldn’t see her face, but from the attire, Jas Brown recognized that the woman must be Emily Berns.
This shocked Jas Brown greatly.
He had already said that Emily Berns had a grudge against him, yet Grace Lopez was still chatting with her.
Knowing Grace as he did, it was quite possible that she was talking to Emily Berns about that very issue at this mont.
And as if confirming Jas Brown’s suspicion, Emily Berns turned around and looked in his direction at that mont.
