During his lunch break, Yan Lang told Xu Qian about this. However, judging from the current comments, the direction is positive. The vast majority of people think that Xu Qian did the right thing. Rather than letting the fans run wild, it's better to be frank on the platform and express his disapproval. Fans who truly like him will understand his attitude.

Strictly speaking, it's not uncommon for fans to stake out locations in the entertainment industry. Some celebrities even think it's a good thing, as it means they are valued and enjoy interacting with fans. However, such behavior actually poses significant risks. On one hand, distance can create beauty, but on the other hand, there are real concerns about the safety of both the fans and the celebrities themselves.

Yan Lang was also puzzled. He discovered that Xu Qian's fan base had extreme differences, with some being older and others being younger.

Rational fans don't care, but what they're most worried about is these minors sneaking out to stake out the place without their families' knowledge. That's not good.

However, Xu Qian's attitude was very firm, and he declined any offer of pick-up or drop-off service to and from work.

Yan Lang said, "Hmm...that's roughly the idea."

“Yes, keep an eye on it. I trust you.” Just as he said at the beginning, Xu Qian had great faith in Yan Lang’s judgment.

"I'll go buy you mango shaved ice!" This trust made Yan Lang feel a surge of excitement; he felt he could do it again!

As soon as Yan Lang left, Xu Qian lowered his head and replied to Meng Ziqiu's WeChat message. While he was filming, Meng Ziqiu brought him two pieces of news. One was that Fifth Master had woken up, but he didn't know much about Third Master Hua. However, he would help us investigate. The second was about Third Master Hua's godson secretly going abroad.

To the outside world, Hua Laosan is an antique dealer with a fairly large antique operating company. He has two children, one biological and one adopted. The two children are about the same age, and it's unclear whether their relationship is good or not. His biological son has never shown his face, but his adopted son was found to have appeared once.

Meng Ziqiu found out about this because of Jiang Qun. When investigating Hua Laosan, Meng Ziqiu found a photo of the other party's godson from high school, and Jiang Qun appeared in the photo, although it was a photo from several years ago.

Meng Ziqiu:

Jiang Qun is the grandson of the chairman of Yongchang Jewelry. His older brother and Hua Laosan's godson were high school classmates and seem to have a good relationship.

Xu Qian:

When did the other party leave the country?

Meng Ziqiu:

I checked too, it was on the day we went back to Chang'ai Mountain.

Xu Qian frowned. The day they returned to Chang'ai Mountain, they went abroad. At the same time, Hua Laosan's name turned gray. Wasn't it a bit of a coincidence?

Meng Ziqiu:

I will continue to monitor the situation and let you know if I have any updates.

Oh right, Xiao Liang and I are planning to visit Fifth Master today, and we probably won't be back in Weicheng until the day after tomorrow.

Xu Qian replied with an "okay," then continued eating his lunchbox, which had gotten a little cold.

Halfway through his meal, Xu Qian received a WeChat message from Jiang Qun, whom he had mentioned earlier, on his other phone. It was a math problem. Ever since they added each other on WeChat, Jiang Qun had been asking him about his homework from time to time, as if she had taken his advice to study to heart. Xu Qian was very pleased with this.

Jiang Qun sent a geometry proof problem, which wasn't too difficult, but required an auxiliary line. Xu Qian edited the problem he sent to create an auxiliary line and then asked him to continue thinking about it.

After a quick lunch, the assistant director started calling everyone to assemble again. Xu Qian swallowed the last mouthful of rice, took a tissue to wipe his mouth, took a sip of green tea, and then got up to assemble.

Although filming in the sweltering heat while wearing thick costumes was tiring, Xu Qian found the filming process itself very interesting, both in terms of the plot and the interactions with the other actors.

Around 3 PM, Director Zhang, who had been filming indoor scenes, suddenly appeared, followed by a group of people holding cameras. The cameras looked like they belonged to 'outsiders,' probably doing some kind of interview.

Xu Qian watched from the sidelines and realized that it was indeed a visit from Sanjiang TV. He had heard before filming this that "Mirage Tower" was aiming to be a satellite TV series, unlike the small-budget web dramas of the past. It was precisely for this reason that Yimi Sunshine invited Zhang Xianzhi to be the director.

Judging from the current view, it should be broadcast on Sanjiang TV.

Soon, it was the turn of the Sanjiang TV station to interview the actors of the 'Zhao Kingdom Chapter'. As the third male lead in the series and the lead actor of the Zhao Kingdom Chapter, Zuo Yan was naturally the first choice for the interview.

Supporting characters with a bit of 'dream' will try every means to get attention at this time, while those without 'dream', like Xu Qian, just want to enjoy a nice ice cream in the shade.

Yan Lang went out to buy this mango shaved ice beforehand. He didn't buy too much, partly because he was worried the mango shaved ice would melt, and partly because he didn't want to steal the spotlight from the main guest.

Even when it comes to treating people to food on set, it's all about status. It's very realistic. So Yan Lang only gave some to a few staff members who liked sweets. The actors in the Zhao Kingdom episode were all strong men. Some of them took some because they were hot, while others didn't take any because they didn't like sweets.

However, it's clear that the Sanjiang TV team wasn't going to favor just one person; all the actors in the crew had to go through the process, although not everyone would necessarily be included in the final cut.

After a while, they came to the shade of a tree, where three or five actors from the Zhao Kingdom segment were sitting, including Xu Qian.

Xu Qian became their main target because he was good-looking. Among a cast of mostly supporting actors, the better-looking one was, the more likely he was to get on screen.

But rather than the Sanjiang set visit team coming to interview, it would be more accurate to say they came to check in and offer their regards, discussing the filming environment and progress, in a relaxed manner without any leaked content.

A dozen minutes later, the pleasant visit to the set ended, and the short break was also over. Xu Qian, who had just finished touching up his makeup, was herded to the set like a duck.

The busy life on set continues.

On Monday morning, Meng Ziqiu and Meng Liangchen returned from out of town, bringing a bunch of gifts and souvenirs to share with their friends or classmates.

When they returned, Xu Qian was preparing to drive with Yan Lang to Sanjiang to record a program. Sanjiang is located in Lincheng, Weicheng, so driving there is the most convenient option.

"Oh, how many days will you be gone?" Meng Ziqiu asked him.

"Two days and one night, at most three days," Xu Qian said.

"That's alright, you can go without worry, I'll take care of things at home!"

Xu Qian just remembered something, "Oh right, I've packed everything (the medicine), could you send it to me when you have time?"

Meng Ziqiu responded with an 'OK' gesture, indicating that there was no problem.

...

Sanjiang is the center of Bicheng in Lincheng, and also the entertainment center of the entire South. If Beijing in the North is the top dog, then Bicheng in the South must be the leader.

Around 8 a.m., Xu Qian and Yan Lang set off from Weicheng. The two planned to arrive at the "Live Well Today" program site around 10 a.m. The program was being filmed in a water town on the outskirts of Sanjiang, a somewhat remote place. However, the other party thoughtfully sent them the location and arranged a car to guide them.

It drizzled in Bicheng today. The two of them transitioned from the clear and cloudless Weicheng to the misty water town. Although both are southern cities, Yan Langde, a local from Weicheng, honestly admitted that Bicheng was indeed the best in the south, perfectly embodying the gentle and languid beauty of Jiangnan.

Before coming, Yan Lang had asked a senior student he knew to help him choose clothes for Xu Qian's photoshoot in the next two days, but in the end, Xu Qian made the decision himself.

The reason was that his senior said in the video that good-looking people would look good even in a burlap sack, and Yan Lang thought that was so damn right! He was too concerned and confused. Besides, Xu Qian's own taste in clothes was very good, so there was no need to pick them out. Just being clean and tidy was enough. Picking something extra would just seem pretentious.

The filming crew started filming the moment the guest arrived, and naturally also filmed the scene of the guest getting out of the car - a clean and neat black windbreaker, very sporty and casual. The clothes were not from any big brand, the focus was on the face and figure. Just saying that he was good-looking was enough.

Yao Jing, the main host of Sanjiang TV, along with several of his long-time co-hosts and newly arrived guest stars, came out to welcome their newcomers.

Xu Qian looked at the group of people on the steps and gave them a slightly reserved smile. "Hello everyone, I'm the newcomer Xu Qian. Please take good care of me."

"Oh, our new friend is here! Come on, Xiao Xu, come in quickly, it's raining outside." Yao Jing's eyes lit up when the other person smiled, and he took the initiative to welcome him in. Before the show was filmed, he had promised Xiang Feifei to help take care of her newcomer. At first, he was not impressed by the photos, but after seeing him in person, he finally understood why One Meter Sunshine, which had not signed any new artists for a long time, had signed him.

She is indeed good-looking, and has very clear eyes; her appearance alone is striking enough.

Xu Qian smiled 'well-behavedly' and picked up his suitcase with one hand as he walked up the steps.

...

"Live Well Today" is a long-running program on Sanjiang TV. The program has three regular hosts: Yao Jing, who is the all-rounder; Wang Xu, who is the deputy leader and chef; and Wu Meili, who is in charge of beauty. This trio has been occupying the prime time slot on Friday nights since the show started.

With a good reputation and high viewership, and the guest stars are not limited to popular celebrities, but also include many industry professionals, allowing viewers to learn a lot while on "vacation". It is a program that combines popularity and content.

Besides the three hosts, the guest stars also include international model Qiao Xinhuan and veteran martial arts star Zhao Wenkang, who has not yet arrived at the program.

Yao Jing cheerfully started a conversation, his first comment directed at Wu Meili, "Alright, Meili, stop staring at the young people, you're making them blush!"

"It's rare to have a handsome guy here, can't I even take a look?" Wu Meili looked a little 'angry'.

Xu Qian smiled shyly, perfectly fitting the situation.

After exchanging brief greetings, Xu Qian and Qiao Xinhuan, who had also just arrived, went upstairs to put down their luggage, led by Wu Meili. Each person had their own room, but each room had a different style.

Xu Qian was assigned to the innermost room. The room was very simple and clean, mainly decorated in off-white and linen.

Qiao Xinhuan's style is modern, with a more international flair.

Clearly, the production team put a lot of thought into it, arranging rooms with different styles for each person.

After putting down his luggage, Xu Qian hadn't even had a chance to sit down when Yao Jing downstairs called his name.

—The new recruit's task has begun!

"While it's a little bit excessive to make a newcomer do all the work right away, newcomers always have to go through some hardships."

"Today's task is—please pick fresh lotus roots for lunch!" Yao Jing smiled kindly, her eyes crinkling. "Friendly reminder, lotus roots are absolutely delicious this season!"

Xu Qian scratched his head. He thought he would be assigned to pick green peppers (Sheng Huai had done the same before), but he didn't expect it to be lotus roots.

Qiao Xinhuan looked somewhat embarrassed. Picking lotus roots in the rain was a tough one, but she didn't say anything.

The two 'newcomers' glanced at each other subconsciously and smiled politely.

Alright, get to work.
