Chapter 401: Celebrity Visits Assistant?
The cell phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID said, "Brother."
Shen Ci adjusted her mood and pressed the answer button.
"elder brother?"
Yan Wenxi on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before speaking: "Is it out?"
"Just came out." Afraid that her brother would feel guilty, Chen Ci chuckled and pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Uncle Yang told you?"
"The police didn't give you any trouble, did they?" Yan Wenxi answered irrelevantly, his only concern being Shen Ci.
"No, I answered whatever they asked me." Shen Ci said, and a wave of emotion suddenly surged in his heart, and his tone became emotional: "Brother, I understand why you don't want to tell me more. I was unusually calm when I was sitting in the interrogation room just now, because I had a clear conscience. I didn't have to worry about my words threatening you, nor did I have to worry about whether I had to lie to help you cover up anything."
Shen Ci didn't know if she would lie to protect her brother at the critical moment if she knew more.
And my brother destroyed this possibility from the very beginning. He didn't even give me the chance to "cover up" for him.
Isn't this a complete protection?
"Lying and perjury are illegal. If you call me brother, I have to protect you and won't let you get implicated in any way."
"Besides, I've told you so many things. I have my own selfish reasons for protecting you. You don't have to worry too much. If I ever get out, I will repay you."
He was always like this, unwilling to have too many emotional entanglements with him, even if it was just a brother-sister relationship.
Because he foresaw his future, those cold iron doors would only make the feelings between them have nowhere to go.
Shen Ci understood, so she didn't say anything extra.
Yan Wenxi said, "Let's leave it at that for now. Your sister-in-law will contact you if anything happens later. Ah Ci... take care of yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ci sat in the car and calmed herself for a long time. Then she took out her mobile phone and deleted all contact information related to Tang Song.

"Jinxiao Entertainment".
A few months later, Chen Li knocked on Sister Kuan's office door again.
"Ouch? Ali?"
Seeing Chen Li, Sister Kuan was very surprised. She put down her work and stood up to greet her: "You haven't made any noise for several months, why are you here all of a sudden?"
Chen Li called someone first, then explained her purpose: "Sister Kuan, I've finished reading the book you gave me before, and I've thought about it."
Sister Kuan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Are you willing to take it?"
Shen Li nodded gently.
"That's right. I told you that after reading the script, you would definitely be interested in this role. It's also a brand new challenge for you."
"I was also attracted to this character. She is not just rebellious on the surface, but actually has a very complex and rich inner world. I want to give it a try, but I don't know if I can play it well."
Sister Kuan happily took Chen Li's hand and encouraged her: "It's okay, and this drama is a serious drama. Most of the leading and supporting actors are veterans with superb acting skills in the entertainment industry. If you can join the crew, you will definitely learn a lot."
"Did Sister Chuhe answer it?"
"Of course, how could she not accept such a good script?" Sister Kuan said with a smile: "This way, she is the female lead and you are the second female lead. You are both mine, and she can even take care of you."
Chen Li smiled happily when she heard that. Deep down, she was looking forward to working with Ji Chuhe.
"Then if you're sure you'll accept it, I'll confirm it with the crew!"
"Okay, by the way, Sister Kuan, I heard the crew of "Jade Bird" is currently filming in Longcheng. I want to go see Sister Xiaoyun and Brother Apan."
During her rest period, Xiaoyun and Apan were temporarily assigned to other artists by the company.
Sister Kuan nodded when she heard this: "No problem, they both seem to be on Fang Qi's team now, do you want me to say hello?"
"Well, it would be a bit presumptuous to go straight over there."
Sister Kuan smiled and said, "You're the only one who's sensible. I'll let them know now and I'll give you a pass to the film and television base. Just take it with you and go straight over."
After leaving the company, Chen Li took a taxi directly to a film and television base.
She also sent a message to Xiaoyun in advance on the way, but the other party never replied.
With an access pass, it is smooth to get in. If the various filming locations in the base are in use, there will be signs of the relevant crew outside.
Chen Li quickly found the "Jade Bird" crew.
"Teacher Shen Li?"
At the door, she unexpectedly ran into a staff member from the same company. Although Shen Li didn't know the other person, the other person recognized her immediately: "Why are you here? Are you here for a guest appearance?"
Chen Li quickly denied it: "No, no, I'm here to visit the set."
As she said this, she showed her pass.
The man suddenly realized, "Whose set are you visiting? They're filming inside. Let me take you in!"
"I came to see Xiaoyun and Apan."
As fellow staff members, Xiaoyun and Apan were artist assistants, so the man naturally knew about it.
He was a little surprised and stunned. He had seen celebrities visiting other celebrities on set, but he had never seen a celebrity visiting an assistant on set.
"They are my assistants. I recently took a few months off, so the company temporarily assigned them to Teacher Fang Qi's team."
"Oh..." The man nodded in response: "I just saw Teacher Fang Qi and she seems to be on Studio One. Let me take you in first."
"Thanks!"
After entering the set, Chen Li remained silent. This was a play set in the Republic of China period, and the actors on the scene were all dressed very conspicuously. Chen Li was also a stranger walking into the set, which attracted many people to look at her sideways.
Arriving at a relatively safe location, the other party raised his hand and pointed not far away, whispering: "Teacher Chen Li, Teacher Fang Qi is over there. Look, is that your assistant Xiaoyun next to her?"
Chen Li looked in the direction of his finger and saw Fang Qi, dressed in casual clothes, half-leaning on a half-reclining rocking chair. Xiaoyun was holding an umbrella for her with one hand and a hand-cranked fan for her with the other, and was half-squatting to provide her with shade and cool her down.
The outdoor temperature reached 34 degrees today, and Xiaoyun was completely exposed to the sun, her face was covered in sweat, and her skin was much darker than the last time we met.
Not only that, she was carrying a bulging backpack on her shoulders. No one knew what was stuffed inside, but in the compartment on the side was an extra-large stainless steel thermos.
Xiaoyun's slender body was shaking under the scorching sun. Chen Li felt that she would faint in the next second just by looking at her.
There were other artists taking a break on the sidelines, but they all consciously found a cool place to sit. Even if they had assistants with them, the most they could do was hand them whatever they needed.
In this way, Xiaoyun's situation became even more obvious. She was isolated and helpless, as if she was being tortured.
Chen Li's heart sank, and her anger suddenly surged.
