Kyoto.
Today Xia Weiwei is going to participate in the recording of a variety show, which is a dating show, and she is a guest in the observation room.
This is her first time recording a variety show and she is a little nervous.
She had no appetite in the morning, so she sat in the dressing room and took out a mooncake from her bag and planned to eat it.
Qingzhi sent her a lot of mooncakes, five boxes, 20 in total.
Xia Weiwei loves to eat. Sometimes when she doesn’t want to eat breakfast or dinner, she just eats a mooncake.
The makeup had already been done, so she could only break it into small pieces with her hands and feed it into her mouth. Eating something did not affect the makeup artist doing her hair.
The makeup artist behind her was styling the mooncake with a curling iron in her hand, and asked with envy, "Sister Weiwei, is this the rose-filled mooncake from Fuwang Farm?"
When Xia Weiwei heard this, she had a mild social anxiety attack and hesitantly said "Ah". Considering that there were other guests in the dressing room, she whispered, "Yes, yes, how did you know?"
"I think this mooncake looks a bit like it, and I heard that Sister Weiwei has a good relationship with the owner of Fuwang Farm." The makeup artist explained, eyes full of envy: "This mooncake must be delicious, right?"
Xia Weiwei nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is delicious."
This dressing room was arranged by the program team. Not only Xia Weiwei was there, but there were also several other guests doing their makeup.
Among the guests, the one with the greatest fame and status is a girl named Tian Jing, also known as Sister Jing.
She debuted as a child star, became famous at a young age, starred in countless TV series, has acting skills, is popular, and has won numerous awards. Now she is still active in her 40s and 50s, starring in big-screen movies. She has also been married several times and has two handsome sons. The fact that she was invited to this variety show shows her status. When the official guest was announced, all the audience were amazed.
At this time, Sister Jing spoke in a gentle voice: "Weiwei, do you have extra mooncakes? Can I buy one? I've heard rumors that they are so good, and I really want to try how delicious the mooncakes from Fuwang Farm are."
Xia Weiwei didn't expect that she would be greeted by a senior, although it was... about Mooncake.
When she came to the dressing room before, she greeted him timidly.
Everyone maintained basic social etiquette and responded, but it was just a polite response.
Xia Weiwei couldn't help but feel a little daunted by such a senior. She was already a little socially anxious, so she even spoke softly subconsciously: "Sister Jing, I have a few more here. What flavor do you want? I'll give it to you."
Tian Jing smiled. In this circle, everyone was not short of money. She asked generously, "Do you have any more rose filling?"
Xia Weiwei took out the mooncake from her bag and said, "Jingjie, there's one more left."
She handed it over, and while both of them were sitting and getting their hair done, the staff from Jingjie's side passed it over.
Tian Jing said politely: "Thank you, Weiwei."
The other guests also heard it, and a lively male idol shouted, "Sister Weiwei, you can't just send Sister Jing away, what should I do if I want to eat too?"
The makeup artists all laughed out loud, and the atmosphere in the entire dressing room became harmonious.
Xia Weiwei's originally tense mood was relaxed a bit by the other party's teasing. She smiled and said, "Except for the rose filling, I still have a few five-nut ones. Do you think you can eat them?"
"Oh~ How can you not get used to this free food, Sister Weiwei?"
The remaining ones in Xia Weiwei's hand were all five-nut ones, and so was the same at home. Because she didn't like five-nut ones very much, she wanted to save them for last. She hadn't tasted what five-nut ones tasted like yet, and the few in her hand were just enough for each guest, so she asked her assistant to help deliver them to the guests.
After all, Sister Jing took the initiative to ask for it. It would have been fine if she gave it to one person, but she also gave it to the male idol. If she didn’t give it to others, it would have been too inhumane.
Xia Weiwei is socially anxious and not very good at these interpersonal relationships, but after all, she has been working in the entertainment industry for several years and still understands the basics.
The other guests took the mooncakes and naturally said thank you politely.
What Xia Weiwei didn't expect was that, although she was quite nervous when recording this kind of variety show for the first time, and sometimes didn't speak much or couldn't get a word in, Sister Jing would take the initiative to cue her name and ask her what she thought.
The male idols would bring her along when they were joking, and unknowingly, she, who was originally a marginal and transparent observer, had more shots passively.
While recording an episode of a dating observation program, Xia Weiwei was more relaxed than ever before. She was a little nervous in the beginning, but performed very naturally in the end.
When she was leaving, Sister Jing and the male idol took the initiative to add her WeChat account.
You know, Sister Jing’s WeChat account is notoriously difficult to add. Once, a red carpet host asked Sister Jing on the spot if she could add WeChat, but Sister Jing declined with her high emotional intelligence, saying that she didn’t have her phone with her.
Xia Weiwei didn't expect that the mooncakes Qingzhi sent to her would bring her such an unexpected reward.
On the way back, she felt a little awkward again. It was obviously Qingzhi who gave her the mooncake, but she gave it to someone else. Wasn't it a bit bad to earn a favor?
She opened WeChat on her phone and sent a video to Qingzhi.
Xu Qingzhi answered the call quickly.
Xia Weiwei confided everything that happened today to Qingzhi, and then said, "I feel like I'm using your farm's reputation to flatter myself, which doesn't seem right."
Xu Qingzhi, who was wearing a straw hat and white work gloves, wiped the sweat off her face with her arm and said, "What's wrong with that? If my mooncakes can help you, I'll be very happy, Weiwei. What I give you is yours, so you don't have to feel bad about it."
