Chapter 53 The Best Butler
ha?
The smiles on their faces froze, and their expressions were surprisingly consistent, all of them showing confusion and some disbelief.
"What did you say?"
When Xu Zishan realized what was happening, her brows furrowed, and she looked as if she suspected she had heard it wrong.
Wang Chuhan sneered at this and said, "Chen Li is eight yuan per episode. Did you hear that?"
"Impossible, stop trying to scare me!" Xu Zishan's eyes were filled with suspicion. Even though Wang Chuhan gave a positive answer, she still didn't want to believe it.
How can a new actor with a minor supporting role be paid per episode? And eight dollars per episode?
This is absolutely impossible.
But when she looked at Chen Li's calm face in front of her, she subconsciously felt that she would not tell such a childish lie, because this kind of lie was the most fragile and could be exposed at any time.
unless……
Xu Zishan's heart sank, and she pressed on, "Who are you playing?"
If it's really eight yuan per episode, then the salary for the entire show would be more than four hundred yuan. A role with this salary is definitely not a minor supporting role!
Chen Li said calmly: "It will start in two days, you will know then."
This Xu Zishan had an inexplicable hostility towards her from the beginning, so Chen Li deliberately didn't say it clearly at this time, just to make her anxious.
Sure enough, Xu Zishan's eyes were filled with annoyance, and she kept asking, "Hurry up and tell me, you must tell me now!"
Seeing this, Sun Yuan and Zhao Meina simultaneously reached out and pulled Chen Li behind them. Wang Chuhan sneered, "Why are you so anxious? Won't you know on the day the filming starts? Don't worry, I will definitely give you a pleasant surprise!"
She had gone to great lengths to get her family to spend 500 yuan to snatch the role of the second young lady's maid. However, Chen Li turned out to be a blessing in disguise and got the opportunity to play the second young lady. They were very happy when they thought that Xu Zishan would have to serve tea and water to Chen Li and kowtow to her on the set.
Just imagine how exciting Xu Zishan’s reaction will be at that time.
"Ali ignores her, let's go."
Several people gave Xu Zishan a disdainful look, protecting Chen Li in the middle and walked into the store.
No matter how arrogant Xu Zishan was, she would not do anything extreme at this time. She could only watch Chen Li leave, and her heart, which had been at ease, became even more uneasy at this moment.
If Chen Li's role is more important than her own, then wouldn't the role she paid for become a joke?
Thinking of this, Xu Zishan became even more uneasy and irritated.
"I'm dying of laughter. The expressions on Xu Zishan's face just now are more varied than a palette. It's so satisfying to see her get humiliated."
As soon as Wang Chuhan entered the private room, he couldn't help laughing.
Sun Yuan looked at Chen Li and praised: "It's rare for A Li to be so stunned. Although it was just one sentence, it was enough to make Xu Zishan doubt her life."
Wang Chuhan smiled and nodded. "Yeah, yeah, when she heard Ah Li say she made eight dollars an episode, her eyes nearly popped out of her head. That was hilarious."
Chen Li felt a little embarrassed by what the two said. She seldom took the initiative to make things difficult for others since she was a child, but Xu Zishan provoked her again and again, and she couldn't help but retort to her just now.
I realized it belatedly and my heart was beating even faster than before.
She was really not good at this kind of thing. She scared herself badly before she did anything.
Only Zhao Meina remained rational at this time. Seeing that Chen Li was silent, she couldn't help but remind her: "Ali, try to avoid direct conflict with Xu Zishan after joining the group. Her father is also an investor. It will not benefit you to offend her."
Chen Li looked at Zhao Meina and nodded: "I understand, I will just concentrate on acting well and not have too much contact with her."
At this time, the waiter brought the menu, and the few people immediately forgot about Xu Zishan and gathered together to start ordering food.
After Shen Ci dealt with the school leaders' requests for photos, he searched for flights back to Shenzhen and Hong Kong today on his mobile phone app while walking towards the dormitory.
"Student Shen, Shen Ci."
When he reached the downstairs of the dormitory building, a timid voice called him.
Chen Ci looked up in surprise, and was slightly startled when she saw the other person. Then she smiled and greeted him, "Jiang Lingchuan."
Jiang Lingchuan also smiled slightly, his fair face still had some childishness, and his smile was naive and cute.
He was holding a shopping bag filled with a lot of things, and appeared downstairs of the girls' dormitory. Chen Ci guessed that he was here to deliver something to Gu Lianxing again.
"Should I help you call her or should I help carry it up?" Chen Ci asked politely.
Jiang Lingchuan said quickly, "Then please take it up there and tell her I've been there."
Shen Ci nodded and took the shopping bag, subconsciously took a look at the things inside, and then couldn't help but stare in surprise.
I didn’t pay attention to the others, but the “sanitary napkin” on the top was particularly eye-catching.
"You also gave her this thing? Did you buy it?" Chen Ci looked at Jiang Lingchuan and asked.
Because in Shen Ci's understanding, many boys are embarrassed to help girls buy sanitary products.
Jiang Lingchuan didn't seem to mind this and nodded calmly, "She's a forgetful person and doesn't remember anything. Once, I ran out of something and didn't buy more in time, which almost made her look bad. So since then, I've kept track of her dates and bought her things two days in advance."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but reveal an expression of extreme shock.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Jiang Lingchuan, you are a top-notch servant!" Shen Ci exclaimed in amazement: "You are the most thoughtful boy I have ever met."
Jiang Lingchuan smiled awkwardly when he heard that, a blush spreading across his cheeks. He raised his hand to adjust the frame of his glasses before saying, "Then I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, classmate Shen Ci."
Even saying goodbye is so serious, it's really cute.
Back in the dormitory, Gu Lianxing was learning the latest girl group dance from the video on the computer, twisting her waist, hips, and shaking her hair, dancing very hard.
Seeing Chen Ci coming back, she twisted her body and walked towards Chen Ci, then raised her hand to hook Chen Ci's neck and danced with her closely: "Honey, am I hot?"
"Spicy, spicy, spicy." Chen Ci nodded in agreement. Seeing that she was about to do a split, he quickly raised his hand to stop her: "Stop first, Jiang Lingchuan is here to bring you something."
As he said this, he handed the shopping bag in his hand to Gu Lianxing. Gu Lianxing glanced at it casually and put it aside as if he was already used to it.
Seeing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but ask: "This little servant of yours is very careful. He can even remember a day like yours."
Gu Lianxing curled her lips and said, "My dad paid for his tuition since he was a child, so it's only natural for him to do this."
"Ah?" Chen Ci was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Don't his parents pay for his tuition? He should earn a lot as a driver in your family, right?"
Gu Lianxing explained, "He went to private school with me since he was little. The tuition was not cheap for Uncle Jiang's family. My dad thought he was sensible and insisted that he go to school with me, actually just so that he could take care of me."
