Just then, Zhong Yuan, who had changed her clothes and put on makeup, walked over and said, "Little Pear, what kind of grand philosophy are you lecturing my Xin Xin about now?"
Jiang Xiaoli quickly covered Hu Jingxin's mouth to stop her from revealing the information.
She whispered a promise in her ear, "Shut up, I'll buy you a bag."
She only let go of Hu Jingxin's hand after she blinked in agreement.
Zhong Yuan became even more curious, "Xin Xin, what were you two talking about just now?"
Hu Jingxin waved her hand, "Let's talk about opening a branch."
She then changed the subject, "You'll be wearing this outfit for your scene later, right?"
Zhong Yuan turned around with a grin, "How about it? Pretty handsome, right?"
Zhong Yuan's role is that of a waiter in a restaurant, and his two lines are "Welcome" and "Please wait a moment".
Hu Jingxin didn't know how to comment, so she threw out the question, "Xiao Li, what do you think?"
Jiang Xiaoli gave him a thumbs up, "Putting aside whether he's handsome or not, this look is just perfect!"
Zhong Yuan knew immediately that she wouldn't say anything nice. "Little Pear, you run an entertainment company, you really need to work on your acting skills!"
Shen Zhaokun didn't give them time to bicker. The assistant director shouted over the loudspeaker, "Extras, get ready! Extras, get ready!"
Jiang Xiaoli raised her chin. "Look, Brother Yuan, he's calling you!"
Watching Zhong Yuan's departing figure, Hu Jingxin finally couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, Xiao Li, Yuan's look is so tacky!"
Yan Chengcheng spoke up fairly, "The story in this movie takes place in 1982, so it's normal for the waiters in a small restaurant to be a bit unsophisticated!"
Today's filming took place in a small restaurant. The set was very small, so the women could only squeeze behind the monitor to watch.
In Jiang Xiaoli's memory, this part of the plot was placed at the beginning of the main film. As she recalled the movie plot from her previous life and looked at the actual filming scene in front of her, she suddenly had a kind of illusion of time and space merging.
In the final scene, with investors watching, Shen Zhaokun, striving for perfection, filmed it three times before he was satisfied.
The production team of "Qiaochu" was scheduled to film for 150 days, and today marks the 133rd day, meaning filming has wrapped up ahead of schedule.
Jiang Xiaoli didn't come empty-handed today; she had asked "Jiang's Entertainment" to arrange wrap-up gifts for the actors beforehand.
While the actors were happily thanking their boss, Zhong Yuan was complaining to Hu Jingxin.
"This role is too short! I haven't had enough of acting!"
Hu Jingxin chuckled, "A Yuan, know when to stop. You gave yourself away twice just now, and I think Director Shen was about to yell at you."
"Huh? Really?" Zhong Yuan didn't believe it.
Hu Jingxin pulled Yan Chengcheng over, "Chengcheng, I didn't lie to him, right?"
Under Zhong Yuan's expectant gaze, Yan Chengcheng nodded, "Brother Yuan, it's true! Director Shen almost ground his teeth to powder..."
"Alright, it seems I really can't make a living as an actor."
Seeing that Zhong Yuan had finally given up his acting dream, Jiang Xiaoli finally said, "Brother Yuan, we don't need to make things so difficult for ourselves. If you like the film and television industry, you are welcome to invest in my company's dramas in the future. We can still make a living in the film and television industry."
Zhong Yuan nodded, "Okay, it's settled then!"
At the wrap party that evening, Shen Zhaokun had a bit too much to drink. He held onto Jiang Xiaoli tightly and wouldn't let go. "President Jiang, you are truly my mentor. If it weren't for you, my 'Outstanding Talent' would probably have died before it even started... I'll put it this way! If I, Shen Zhaokun, don't have any future prospects, fine. But if I become successful, just give me the order!"
Zong Jiayu's eyes blazed with fury, but Jiang Xiaoli was quite pleased. "Director Shen, then it's a deal! If 'Jiang's Entertainment' ever wants you to direct a movie or TV series, you absolutely mustn't refuse."
Shen Zhaokun waved his hand, "Anyone who refuses is a dog!"
The people around him laughed.
After they finished talking, Zong Jiayu pulled Jiang Xiaoli back, and Shen Zhaokun was helped away by his assistant.
Li Anting brought Qiao Ru, the head of the artist management department of "Jiang's Entertainment," over to greet her.
Jiang Xiaoli instructed, "Compile a list of the film crews that are currently in preparation and give it to me."
Qiao Ru nodded in agreement, "President Jiang, are you planning to choose new dramas for them?"
She didn't deny it, saying, "Let's take a look at them first."
Her main goal was to select the shows from these production teams that made them big stars.
"Okay, I'll put together the list for you as soon as possible." Qiao Ru knew this was the first task her boss had given her, and she had to do it well.
After the wrap party, Dafu and Zhong Yuan squeezed together into the car that was taking Hu Jingxin and the other two home.
After seeing Ren Zhiyi off, Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jiayu chatted on the way.
She looked at the hands resting on the steering wheel. "Ayu, is it because you type on the keyboard all the time? Your hands are so beautiful."
Zong Jia noticed that the girl beside him was a little drunk, and he chuckled, "Little Pear, what do you think is good-looking about me?"
Jiang Xiaoli actually turned her head and carefully examined him, "Hmm... A-Yu's eyes... nose... mouth... Adam's apple... he's handsome from head to toe!"
Zong Jia was beaming with joy, "Does Little Pear like me that much?"
"Of course." She nodded earnestly like a child. "You're mine, and what's mine is the best!"
At the red light, Zong Jia turned to look at the girl's slightly flushed face, and suddenly his heart softened.
"Yes, you're right."
Back home, Jiang Xiaoli felt weak all over from the alcohol, so Zong Jia and Princess carried her upstairs.
When she opened the door, she opened her eyes and asked, "Why aren't you going home?"
Zong Jia lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Little Pear, be good, my home is your home too."
"That's true!"
Zong Jia and his family never expected that they could so easily lure the girl into their home.
A smile played on his lips, and his voice grew deeper and gentler, "Little Pear, would you like to take a bath?"
She nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
At this moment, Zong Jia suddenly felt that sometimes having a drink wasn't so bad.
The little girl in my arms is usually so fierce, she's never been this well-behaved before.
Jiang Xiaoli had no idea what he was thinking. Feeling hot in the steamy bathroom, she started taking off her clothes.
Zong Jia couldn't stop him in time, but he didn't want to either.
The room was instantly filled with enchanting beauty.
In the early morning, Jiang Xiaoli unconsciously turned over and suddenly felt that the bed beneath her was hard and stiff, not the big bed she used to sink into.
She opened her eyes and looked around. Oh, it was Zong Jiayu's bedroom.
But when I reached out and touched the side, it was already cold.
She propped herself up on her arms, got dressed, and found herself alone in the empty room.
Dafu and Zhongyuan didn't come back last night either.
Just as she was about to make a phone call, the door opened.
Zong Jia found a local specialty breakfast restaurant in Xijing called "Meatball Hot and Sour Soup" somewhere.
