Chapter 49 (Exclusively published by Jinjiang)

For Shen Baili, the time passed very quickly while watching others filming.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and she ate the lunch box provided by the crew, which consisted of three vegetarian dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Braised spare ribs, sweet and sour fish and stir-fried pork with chili peppers, served with sour shredded potatoes and seasonal vegetables, tasted pretty good, although not as good as what you would cook at home.

The crew's lunch boxes are contracted to a nearby restaurant. The standard daily ration is three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. Only by eating well can one have the energy to work.

However, the actors’ meals are different from the crew’s meals. Actors need to maintain their figure, so they are uniformly given fitness meals that are low in oil, sugar and rich in protein.

"It smells so good." Xie Tingsi was eating "grass" in his mouth and staring at the meat in Shen Baili's bowl.

Shen Baili took a mouthful of rice and a bite of fried pork with chili peppers, and ate them deliciously.

She noticed his gaze and looked at the light meal in front of Xie Tingsi with sympathy: "Second brother, do you want me to get you a box lunch?"

Xie Tingsi: "I have meat to eat."

The only difference is that the meat in his lunch box is chicken breast, which has a lighter taste.

Xie Tingsi imagined it to be rich braised pork belly mixed with mixed grain rice.

Yan Qiaolan took three bottles of milk from the refrigerator in the RV, drank one for herself, and shared the other two.

"He can't be fat when he's on camera, and if he doesn't have a role, he has to exercise to maintain his muscles."

She is very satisfied with Xie Tingsi as an artist. Although he has an eccentric personality, he never slacks off in his work and focuses on his acting.

She believes in her own abilities. If she can produce two best actor winners, she can also produce a third one. However, she also needs the cooperation of her artists.

Shen Baili couldn't give up the delicious food: "Second brother, you have worked hard."

Xie Tingsi smiled and said, "This is my job. I'm not suffering."

He loves acting and plays various roles with all his heart, and Xie Tingsi enjoys it very much.

Besides, this little bit of suffering is nothing to him, it’s just that he can’t satisfy his appetite QAQ.

He is so greedy that he can eat a whole cow raw. After this movie is over, he will eat three bowls of pork belly!

However, in front of his sister, he has to maintain a mature and stable image.

Shen Baili couldn't help him with actions and could only encourage him with words.

"Second brother, come on!"

Xie Tingsi was dissatisfied: "Xiao Lihua, your encouragement is so perfunctory!"

Shen Baili pretended not to hear and continued eating.

Yan Qiaolan watched their argument with great interest, it was quite interesting.

Her gaze shifted away from Xie Tingsi and fell on Shen Baili.

The girl has bright eyes, pure beauty, bright and lively like a ray of morning sunshine. In the entertainment industry full of beautiful women, her beauty is no less outstanding. The most precious thing is the aura that emanates from Shen Baili, which makes people's hearts beat.

"Bai Li, do you want to be an actress?" Yan Qiaolan took the initiative to extend an olive branch. She was confident that she could cultivate another film queen.

"Would you like to try acting? It's fun."

Shen Baili was surprised: "Me?"

Xie Tingsi picked out the corn kernels: "My sister is still a minor."

The entertainment industry is a mixed bag, and entering the world of fame and fortune too early is not a good thing. If she becomes interested in the entertainment industry a few years later, he supports her decision.

But now, no.

Shen Baili was not interested in acting, so she followed Xie Tingsi's words and rejected Yan Qiaolan's olive branch in person.

"My priority right now is studying, and I'm not interested in acting. Thank you for your invitation."

Yan Qiaolan felt it was a pity, but since both of them had clearly refused, she would not spoil the fun.

She only recently found out that the "Xie" in Xie Tingsi's name was Xie from the top wealthy family, Sister Xie. She signed a contract with Xie Tingsi simply because she saw his potential. She never thought that a rich young man would go through so much trouble to enter the entertainment industry.

After learning about Xie Tingsi's powerful background, Yan Qiaolan was shocked and thought about how to adjust Xie Tingsi's career plan.

But Xie Tingsi has his own ideas and he does not want to publicly expose the Xie family background.

Yan Qiaolan couldn't persuade him and had to agree. She was one of the only two people in the entertainment industry who knew that Xie Tingsi was the second son of the Xie family. Cheng Hui and Wu He didn't know about this.

She knew that Shen Baili was Xie Tingsi's stepsister. Although they were not biological siblings, they had a good relationship.

Children from wealthy families have no shortage of options.

"Bai Li, where are you studying now?"

"International High School?"

Yan Qiaolan changed the subject.

Shen Baili replied: "I'm in Haicheng No. 1 Middle School."

Xie Tingsi couldn't help but brag: "Xiao Lihua is a top student. She ranked in the top ten in the school in the final exam and got full marks in math, physics and English."

His expression and tone were as if he had passed the test with full marks.

"Bai Li is amazing!" Yan Qiaolan was very surprised and complimented with a smile.

Shen Baili smiled: "Thank you."

…

Lunch time is over and it’s time for Shen Baili to return to Haicheng.

Xie Tingsi had a play in the afternoon and could not send her off in person, so he had to ask his personal assistant Cheng Hui to send her to the airport.

"Message me when you get to the airport, okay?" Xie Tingsi sent her to the car and leaned against the window, muttering to herself.

"Please call me after you get off the plane. Xiaolin will pick you up at the airport exit."

"Send me a message when you get home, and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it."

"Be careful and don't talk to strangers." Xie Tingsi warned, more worried than if he went out himself.

Shen Baili listened carefully: "Okay, I will remember to send a message."

"Second brother, why don't you take a rest? Aren't there any plays in the afternoon?"

"I'm not a two or three-year-old kid anymore, I know that."

She is not afraid to travel alone, let alone with someone accompanying her.

Under Xie Tingsi's lingering gaze, the black car gradually moved away from his reality and gradually turned into a small black dot until it could no longer be seen.

Shen Baili withdrew her gaze and looked at Cheng Hui who was driving.

"I'm a very steady driver. I will definitely take you to the airport safely." Cheng Hui said with a soothing tone.

"You two siblings have such a great relationship." Cheng Hui took the initiative to start a conversation: "I'm an only child, and I envy people who have brothers and sisters."

Shen Baili raised her lips slightly and asked curiously, "Have you known my brother for a long time?"

Cheng Hui: "I have been your assistant since I graduated, for almost three years."

"I heard that he is tough on the outside but gentle on the inside. He is very kind to us staff members. It turns out that he has two personal assistants..."

Shen Baili had never heard of this incident: "Where did the other assistant go? Did he resign?"

The content of the outline cannot be all-inclusive. The fourth assistant was not mentioned in the two unlocked chapters. Is she a marginal figure or a key figure?

The original plot omitted many things about the Xie family, so she could only analyze them piecemeal.

Seeing that she was interested in the topic, Cheng talked more.

"She didn't quit. The girl's father had cancer and was incurable. She wanted to quit. After my brother found out the reason, he let her take paid leave and paid most of the medical expenses out of his own pocket."

Shen Baili: "He never mentioned this."

"Yeah, other stars would make a big fuss about whatever little things they did, but I didn't say anything about what I did."

"He was really good to us. We received a salary from the company, and he also gave us subsidies."

"Besides... other stars would always bully their assistants. Those with good tempers would at most make things difficult for them, but those with bad tempers would directly make their assistants kneel down and not treat their staff as human beings."

"Our colleagues are very jealous of us." Cheng Hui's tone was full of gratitude towards Xie Tingsi.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with this job.

Could he... be the one who betrayed Xie Tingsi?

Shen Baili brought his topic back to the topic: "So...what happened to that girl's father? Will she come back to work?"

Cheng Hui came out of the mood of praising Xie Tingsi and said, "That girl will be back next month."

"She spent the last moments of her father's life with him, handled the funeral of her family, and then returned to work."

"But I heard that my brother gave her an extra month of vacation so that she can relax and spend more time with other family members. Our job as assistants is to cooperate with the artists, so we will be very busy in the future..."

Xie Tingsi is really a very soft-hearted person.

"She will come back next month?" Shen Baili repeated this sentence, which means that this female assistant will appear in the plot.

Who is the assistant who betrayed Xie Tingsi?

Is it Fan Bo, who has been working at Xie's since his retirement? Or Wu He, who has a bright future and outstanding abilities? Or the female assistant who is well taken care of by Xie Tingsi? Or is it Cheng Hui, who is sincere and down-to-earth and is full of praise for Xie Tingsi?

The traitors’ choice from three became a choice from four.

Among the four assistants, except for the female assistant whom she had never met before, she had met the other three assistants.

Shen Baili first ruled out Fan Bo, who was a retired special forces soldier with strong integrity and principles. Such a person would rather die than betray his beliefs.

Cheng Hui is good at observing people's expressions and doing things thoughtfully, while Wu He is capable and arranges things in an orderly manner. Both of them are excellent assistants and may be bribed by the person behind the scenes.

Shen Baili boarded the plane smoothly. After sending a message to Xie Tingsi, she lay down on the seat: "A Deng, start a new chapter."
