Chapter 31: Purpose. They've been together for so long, how could she not know? ...

The next morning.

The red sun was sinking behind the distant mountains, about to rise, and the sky was dim and dark.

Xu Zhijian was woken up by the sound of the tent zipper. He didn't sleep well that night and felt sore all over.

He opened his heavy eyelids and saw Wen Nian had just woken up.

As if sensing something, she stood outside the tent and glanced back. Her gaze, unusually free of negative emotions like disgust, was unsettling.

Xu Zhijian opened his eyes wide, ready to meet her gaze, but belatedly realized that she was not looking at him, but more like his arm.

Finally, Wen Nian's gaze fell on his face, and sure enough, he gave him a murderous glare in the blink of an eye.

He left a sentence: "Pack up the tent."

Turn around and leave.

"Yeah." Xu Zhijian didn't dare to speak at all, fearing that he would make more mistakes if he spoke too much. Just as he was about to stand up, he felt a sudden itch in his armpits, as if something was crawling.

He hurriedly reached in, grabbed the thing, and almost fainted when he saw it in front of his eyes.

Aaaaah! Bugs!

He hates bugs the most!!!

Hearing the explosion behind him, Wen Nian paused, the corners of his lips curled up in a gloating manner.

When we reached the top of the mountain, most people were still asleep.

The wind is cooler in the morning.

Wen Nian stood at the edge of the cliff, pulling her coat closer, her clear eyes reflecting the distant mountain glow.

"it's beautiful."

"Yeah, it's beautiful."

Wen Nian was puzzled and looked in the direction of the voice. It was the director.

She blinked and said hello, "Good morning, Director."

"Good morning." The director took a sip of water and said slowly, "Little girl, are you interested in joining a program?"

Wen Nian thought for a moment and said honestly, "No."

"..." He suspected that he had heard it wrong. How could someone refuse such a good thing that fell from the sky so bluntly?

Meeting his puzzled gaze, Wen Nian smiled and explained, "I know why you're here, but I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have any acting skills, and I don't know how to create any show effects. So forget it."

"You know?"

This was the first time he looked Wen Nian in the eye. Her big round eyes held a gentle smile, her gaze intelligent but not dull. Her skin was very fair, and her facial features were delicate and small.

He had seen many beauties, but most of them were gorgeous, so this one was rare.

What was even more surprising was that this person was obviously an ordinary person, yet he could speak to him calmly and confidently.

If I had the capital, I would have signed her directly.

Wen Nian said bluntly: "It's not hard to guess. What else could be the reason why you took a fancy to an ordinary person like me besides my popularity? It can't be that I'm good-looking."

The director choked.

"Take your time to drink. I have to go first." Seeing that she was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped her:

"Wait, if you agree, I'll agree to add more footage for Tian Xingyu, and I'll send the edited footage to you for review in advance. How about that?"

Wen Nian paused, her expression noticeably softening. Just when the director thought she would agree immediately, she suddenly murmured regretfully, "Forget it, it's not like I'm in any good."

The director stamped his foot and said, "Well, I'll give you 200,000 yuan!"

Two hundred thousand.

Wen Nian admitted that her heart was moved and her mouth was almost not her own.

Sighing, "Forget it."

Since he wanted to take advantage of the traffic between her and Xu Zhijian, he would have to contact Xu Zhijian.

She feels annoyed when she sees him now.

"Five hundred thousand!"

Wen Nian took two steps to stand in front of him. The greed in her eyes was really incompatible with her well-behaved face. "When will the filming start? Director Teacher."

For money, I can endure anything.

“…” Director: It still requires money.

"Next issue."

"Okay, is there anything I need to do? Are there any special arrangements?"

Knowing what she was referring to, the director said: "Oh, no, just keep calm and do whatever you want. Just go along with it for one episode."

She was suspicious: "So simple?"

"Yeah, it's that simple. Big profit, right?"

In fact, she didn't need to do anything. Xu Zhijian's eyes on her body were enough to be photographed.

Moreover, this is more authentic.

Wen Nian clasped his fists and said, "If you need such work in the future, just come to me."

—

After shooting the last sunrise, it was almost nine o'clock when a passage was drilled through the fallen rocks.

Although the way down the mountain is rugged and dangerous, it is much less strenuous.

The scenery looked better than when we came up, but unfortunately the cable car passage was under maintenance, so we couldn't enjoy the scenery while riding the cable car.

After hearing what Wen Nian said, Tian Xingyu couldn't believe it: "Really? It's possible? I said, if I follow you, I will definitely have meat to eat!"

Wen Nian said proudly: "Of course."

He patted her shoulders: "Sister! From now on you are my sister!"

Watching the two of them laughing and joking, Xu Zhijian almost bit his back teeth to pieces.

My heart feels so sad.

When he thought that Wen Nian and he were going to have no contact with each other for the rest of his life and that Wen Nian had no good face at all, while He Tian Xingyu was able to greet him with a smile, he felt uncomfortable all over.

I wanted to rush over and throw this annoying guy off the mountain.

The instinctive thoughts were quickly suppressed. He lowered his eyes dejectedly and simply stopped looking. His back looked a little lonely.

I can’t let Wen Nian hate him even more.

He hasn't even figured out how to make up for his mistake yet.

The director behind was quick to capture this scene.

In an instant, the copy was thought of - after breaking up with his girlfriend, Xu Zhijian was jealous and crazy!

—

Because the filming location for the second episode is also in Ningcheng and is very close, it can start the next day.

In addition to Wen Nian, there was also a newcomer this time.

The night before filming began, the production crew had a dinner as usual, and Wen Nian was fortunate to join them.

Tian Xingyu sat beside her and grumbled quietly, "Finally, someone is here to accompany me. You don't know how difficult this drinking culture is."

"So exaggerated? You can't handle it."

Seeing him nodding continuously, Wen Nian changed her mind and said, "That's right. After all, the entertainment industry is so complicated."

When Xu Zhijian came in, there were not many people in the room.

He looked at Wen Nian unconsciously, wanting to sit next to her, but he didn't have the courage, and finally sat down opposite her dejectedly.

With acquaintances around, Tian Xingyu felt more relaxed and started gossiping to Wen Nian: "What do you think is Xu Zhijian's purpose in coming here? He can't be short of money, right?

"It's definitely not for the fame. He's not really doing it seriously at all. He barely said more than ten sentences the entire show. It's clearly a variety show, but I didn't even see him smile. He's almost become a background character."

"Hey——" He almost slammed the table: "He's not really here to be a background!"

"You know what, this program is worth it. With you in it, it's even more worth it. If it doesn't keep up with current events, it will definitely earn a lot of traffic once it's released."

"Shut up!" Wen Nian said, disapprovingly, "Which celebrity is as talkative as you? Aren't you afraid of being criticized if you say something wrong one day?"

"Tsk." Tian Xingyu puffed out her cheeks and muttered softly, "We've already broken up and you're not letting me talk about it."

Not wanting to pay attention to him, Wen Nian withdrew his gaze. For some reason, his eyes fell on Xu Zhijian opposite him and paused for several seconds.

He was looking down at his phone, and although he appeared to be concentrating, his drooping eyes hadn't blinked from the moment Wen Nian started looking at him to the moment she finished.

After being together for so long, how could she not know what his purpose was?

Even if I die, I will drag her down with me to be buried with me.

I knew this guy wouldn't give up easily.

When the newcomer came in, Wen Nian almost thought he was hallucinating.

The man had bright eyes and white teeth, and was dressed in a neat suit. He exuded a relaxed demeanor and was obviously a veteran of the drinking world.

He smiled and shook hands with the director and producer, and greeted everyone.

Wen Nian followed him closely, still a little bit unbelievable.

She had just met this man two days ago, Shen Wan's boyfriend.

She couldn't help but evaluate it.

She has a sunny and tough appearance, fair skin, delicate features, but there is a hint of evil at the corners of her eyes, which adds a bit of charm. Her figure is also very outstanding, not to mention her personality. At first glance, she looks smart and cheerful.

It really fits Shen Wan's aesthetic.

Wen Nian asked Tian Xingyu: "Do you know this person?"

Tian Xingyu glanced at him and lowered her voice, "I know him, Liu Pingyi. He's quite popular and a popular actor. He's also from our company. I guess he has a lot of resources at home."

Wen Nian said, "She does look more like a star than you."

“…”

Feeling it was magical, Wen Nian planned to use it to tease Shen Wan.

Snap——

With a flash of white light, the entire room fell into silence.

When their eyes met, Wen Nian held up his phone stiffly, wanting only to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She actually forgot to turn off the flash!

Tian Xingyu took a deep breath and looked at her in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.

I don’t know how long it took.

Liu Ping also laughed, breaking the silence: "Are you taking pictures of me?"

Wen Nian's brain was working quickly, and her smile was uglier than crying: "Yes... I am your fan."

He hummed in agreement and said jokingly, "It's okay. Just remember to turn off the flash next time."

He didn't know who Wen Nian was, but he thought that those who could sit here were probably useful people. The first rule of survival in the entertainment industry was to stay out of other people's business, do your job well, and ask less about things you shouldn't know.

Because of this, none of the celebrities present asked a single question about the fact that an assistant of an unknown star joined the crew overnight.

Just as Wen Nian was thinking about how to end the situation, Xu Zhijian said, "I'm also your fan. Can you let me take a few pictures sometime?"

Following the sound, Liu Ping's first reaction was surprise.

Of course he knew Xu Zhijian, a famous young master in the Beijing circle. He was unruly and even dogs would avoid him when they saw him.

She had heard Shen Wan mention it before, and she didn't have a good impression of him.

I knew he was here before I came here, and I was thinking about not messing with this troublemaker. Unexpectedly, this guy now says he is his fan.

A surge of joy welled up in his heart, but Liu Ping remained calm on his face, smiling and raising his glass: "It's an honor. I've wanted to take a photo with Master Xu for a long time."

After a lot of polite exchanges, Wen Nian finally became invisible again.

Tian Xingyu didn't understand: "No, what's wrong with you? You just met someone and you became a fan in seconds?"

Wen Nian told him to shut up and didn't want to mention it anymore.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally understand Tian Xingyu's complaint. Everyone in the entertainment industry has to be careful with what they say and do. If they make a mistake, most people will just stand there and watch them laugh. We are all competitors, and there is no such thing as tolerance and understanding.

The thought of that cold gaze just now made her hair stand on end. He was so rude to a layman like her, let alone someone in the industry.

It's cold and bloody, it's really a circle where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

It’s better to have your own studio.

Wen Nian still sent the photo to Shen Wan.

The other party quickly replied with a series of question marks.

Chen Wan: [You ran into him? Wait, how do you know what he looks like? And, you were having dinner with the production crew? And why is Xu Zhijian here too!?]

Wen Nian explained to her.

Chen Wan: [So that's how it is. Great, sister. Earning half a million is awesome! Xu Zhijian has really made the most of his last bit of value.]

Chen Wan: [How is it, isn’t my boyfriend handsome? ]

Wen Nian was quite flattering: [Well, I think he is very handsome and has a lot of unique features. He is worthy of being the man you choose.]

Chen Wan: [Hehe.]
