...

Just as Shi Xi was admitted to the hospital, the hashtag #ShiXiLiveStreamingWhileSick# trended on social media.

"How is Xixi doing now? I feel so sorry for her."

"Did you go to the hospital? Can the studio provide some information?"

"Don't let Xixi work while she's sick!!!"

"..."

Soon, the live stream assistant replied, "Shi Xi has been taken to the hospital by her friends. Fans, please don't worry."

The fans calmed down after learning that Shi Xi had gone to the hospital.

The haters were dissatisfied.

[Shi Xi works hard despite being ill; she's truly a model worker in the industry.]

[You look so weak, did your sugar daddy abuse you last night?]

"Nanwan fans, shut up! Are you jealous because our Xixi's sales are high?"

"Hey, are you so concerned about Shi Xi? Is Shi Xi your mother?"

"..."

The battle between fans and critics never ends.

When Shi Xi woke up, it was already midnight.

She looked around and remembered that Hua Xuan had taken her to the hospital.

I really need to thank him.

Shi Xi looked around; she was the only one in the ward.

She saw her phone on the bedside table, picked it up, and glanced at the unread messages.

Hua Xuanhe: [Get some rest. Call me if you need anything.]

Shi Xi: Thank you for bringing me to the hospital. I'm fine now.

Seeing that it was 3 a.m., Shi Xi put down her phone, wanting to go back to sleep.

But she slept long enough.

I can't sleep.

Moreover, it's easy to overthink late at night, so Shi Xi simply sat up and sent a message to Han Chuan, asking him what his schedule was for tomorrow.

Han Chuan: [I've arranged a magazine photoshoot for you. Go there at nine o'clock this morning.]

Sure enough, the one still awake at this hour was her beloved manager.

Shi Xi: [Is there anything else?!]

Han Chuan asked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic? How are you feeling?"

Shi Xi: [I'm fine now! I'm focused on making money, aren't you happy?!]

Han Chuan was naturally happy.

He is Shi Xi's agent, and the money he earns is a commission from Shi Xi's work.

The more announcements Shi Xi makes, the more money he earns, and the higher his salary becomes.

Han Chuan: [Magazine photoshoot tomorrow morning.]

The afternoon business advertisement was for a chocolate cookie, with a short-term contract of three months.

Short-term endorsement refers to endorsement that is only for a short period of time.

Shi Xi rarely accepted endorsements before, but now, for the sake of money, she has finally bowed down.

Han Chuan then issued several more announcements, most of which were business endorsements.

Shi Xi: ...

She's only been back in China for a week, why are there so many announcements?

"I'll take care of the account after you go to the US," Han Chuan added.

Every time an artist releases an advertisement, it's done through their studio, so Han Chuan naturally has Shi Xi's Weibo account password.

Shi Xi: [OK.]

With so many announcements, Shi Xi knew she would be very busy, so she got tired in advance and fell asleep.

Shi Xi slept until seven o'clock before getting up.

Zhu Lin did not return, so Han Chuan flew directly to Yanjing overnight to personally bring her back.

Sitting in the car, Shi Xi asked, "Won't this be too much trouble for you?"

Han Chuan: "Anyway, I've been free lately."

Shi Xi asked with concern, "How is Lou Rui Cong's hand? Is it better?"

"I don't know." Han Chuan had already adopted a hands-off approach towards Lou Rui Cong.

Shi Xi suddenly remembered something and asked, "...By the way, is the male lead in the movie still being auditioned?"

Han Chuan nodded. "What? Do you have someone to recommend?"

“Pei Kai, he’s quite good-looking and hardworking,” Shi Xi recommended. “I just don’t know how good his acting is. We could give him an audition.”

Han Chuan smiled gently.
