Xia Wei Liang acted very enthusiastically. "Teacher Xiao, where should we start learning?"
Xiao Yi didn't say anything and got into the car.
"?"
Teacher Xiao, are you sure this will help harmonious development? Sudan Fiction Network
"Uh, Miss Xia, Brother Yi's stomach isn't very good. He hasn't eaten much since noon, so he might be a little uncomfortable right now. That's why..."
"Oh! I understand!"
Xia Wei Liang immediately showed understanding. "Movie stars, a bad stomach is standard equipment."
Due to the nature of artists' work, they don't have regular meals like office workers, and many of them have poor stomachs.
"Then hurry and take Teacher Xiao to eat something. We won't bother you today..."
"You come up."
A slightly tired male voice came from the car.
Yan Zhi quickly said, "Brother Yi means, it's so late, and Miss Xia must not have eaten either, so why not go together."
Tsk tsk tsk, look at his smart little head!
Xia Wei Liang hesitated. Her relationship with Xiao Yi was really not suitable for being alone together...
"Do I have to come down and invite you myself?"
The voice in the car became weaker and weaker.
Xia Wei Liang was startled and got into the car without thinking.
It was fine if she starved herself, but if she let the movie star starve, she could unilaterally announce her retirement from the industry.
Getting into the movie star's car, Xia Wei Liang's eyes were filled with envy.
Compared to her two-wheel-drive convertible, it was indeed a little more luxurious and a little more comfortable.
Xiao Yi sat on the other side, holding his script in one hand and pressing his stomach with the other.
Xia Wei Liang's gaze froze, and she sighed softly in her heart.
No one's success is accidental.
Suddenly thinking of something, she rummaged in her large canvas bag for a moment and took out two chocolates.
A chocolate suddenly appeared in his line of sight, with a rather cute wrapper.
Xiao Yi looked up and looked to the other side.
Xia Wei Liang said a little embarrassedly, "I often get hungry, so I always carry snacks with me."
As if afraid he would dislike it, she quickly added, "This is low-fat chocolate, it won't make you... fat..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Xiao Yi unwrap the paper, pick up the chocolate, and put it into his mouth.
Why was she inexplicably happy?
She withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to unwrap the piece in her hand.
Da Yang had been driving quietly all along, occasionally glancing at the rearview mirror. Finally, he couldn't help but ask Yan Zhi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, in a low voice.
"Doesn't the boss never eat sweets?"
Yan Zhi sat there nonchalantly, looking straight ahead, exuding an aura of an IQ of ninety-eight.
"Da Yang, you have to remember this. From now on, when the boss eats, there are only two categories."
"Hmm, tell me!"
Da Yang straightened his body, his hands gripping the steering wheel also straightened.
"One is what others give him, and the other is what Miss Xia gives him."
"?"
Da Yang didn't understand again. What's the difference? No matter who gave it, isn't it all food?
Yan Zhi didn't expect him to understand anything and slowly closed his eyes.
This kind of thing could only be understood, not spoken.
After a simple dinner, Xiao Yi sent her back to the apartment.
"Thank you, Teacher Xiao."
Xia Wei Liang said thank you to the person beside her. Xiao Yi glanced outside, opened the door, and was about to get out. "It's too late, I'll take you."
"No, no!"
Xia Wei Liang quickly stopped him. "I've been too presumptuous today, how can I trouble Teacher Xiao again?"
That respectful tone, as if she wanted to worship him as a father, made the man's face darken again.
He hooked the corners of his lips, his expression even more somber than before.
"Alright, then bid farewell."
"..."
Xia Wei Liang propped up her smiling face. "Yes, Your Majesty~"
Lowering her cap, she crouched down and got out of the car.
Yan Zhi cleared his throat and asked, suppressing a smile, "Brother Yi, then we..."
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Yi's gaze was fixed on the girl in front, who was walking with light steps.
Yan Zhi understood again.
Wuwu, I'm touched by the boss!
—
The read-through went very smoothly.
Next, the crew of "Rekindled" officially started filming, and the roles were officially announced to the public at the commencement ceremony.
Although insiders had previously revealed that Xia Wei Liang would play a role, everyone took it as a joke.
Xia Wei Liang, starring in Director Zhou's film?
What a joke!
I heard that even a powerful actress like Sister Hong was rejected. What did Xia Wei Liang rely on?
On her eye-watering terrible acting skills?
Until the official announcement by the crew's official Weibo, "Xia Wei Liang" unexpectedly made it onto the hot search again, with everyone questioning her acting skills.
At this juncture, a revelation claimed to be from an insider pushed Xia Wei Liang to the forefront of public opinion once again.
[Tomato Scrambled Eggs: Hmph, you all know Director Zhou's standards, right? He originally intended for Sister Hong to play Lian Zhu, and had already notified her to audition. I didn't expect a rich kid to appear halfway and snatch the role! Everyone in the crew knows this. We're all worried that she alone will ruin everything and make everyone's efforts in vain!]
[Tomato Scrambled Eggs: You asked about the "rich kid" just now... Come on, look at who the lead actor is! Remember one thing, the entertainment industry never has rumors without reason! Do you really think the movie star's two public statements in her favor are acts of charity? Heh, don't be naive!]
[Tomato Scrambled Eggs: Let me reveal another piece of information. At a certain platform's awards ceremony, the time when Empress Xia won the 'water award', the movie star was photographed at a hotel nearby the next day, right? Xia Wei Liang was actually with him that day...]
This revelation, whether in terms of logic or timeline, made sense! It made people believe it!
Looking at her own gossip, Xia Wei Liang felt a little uneasy.
"That's enough, stop looking."
Song Yuan came over and directly snatched her phone away.
"If Director Zhou was really like what they say, then he wouldn't be the Director Zhou he is today."
"But..." Xia Wei Liang looked up at her pitifully. "It was indeed Xiao Yi who recommended me to go..."
"So what?" Song Yuan said dismissively, "Because he had a one-night stand with you and felt guilty, he recommended you to Director Zhou..."
"Brother Yuan! Stop!"
Xia Wei Liang dared not listen any further.
Brother Yuan, you're really daring to say that!
What, what did you mean by a one-night stand relationship???
I know you're a private investigator, but you don't have to show off your professionalism all the time!
"In short, getting this role represents Director Zhou's recognition of you. Let others be jealous if they want! As long as your conscience is clear!"
"But... what if my conscience is not clear?"
After all, she still lacked confidence in her acting skills.
At this moment, Ji Huan pushed open the office door and entered.
Behind her, Nuomi winked at Xia Wei Liang, "Sister Wei Wei, you have an endorsement!"
"Endorsement?"
Xia Wei Liang was beautiful, but her reputation was not good, and she lacked talent. Coupled with scandals, she had always been a "zero endorsement" actress who was often ridiculed.
Ji Huan said, "It's the new brand 'Self-Joy Hot Pot'."
"Self-Joy Hot Pot?"
Xia Wei Liang found the name familiar.
Ji Huan explained, "It's a type of bucket hot pot that heats up with quicklime. It's very convenient to eat, you just need to add cold water. Although the product is common, the advertising investment will not be small. Ground promotion and various TV stations will bombard you in rotation."
Nuomi impatiently revealed, "The manufacturer previously approached Xia Yiran, but her agent considered the new brand to be unknown and rejected it immediately. And guess what? The brand father turned around and handed the contract to us! Moreover, the contract changed from one year to three years!"
