Bai Qingzhi is usually very low-key and rarely appears in the media, so most of the crew members don't know her true identity.
The day Bai Qingze arrived, his face was long and drawn. Bai Qingzhi watched as he pulled a woman into the van.
A few minutes later, the woman came downstairs in a rage, with Bai Qingze following behind.
As she approached out of curiosity, Bai Qingzhi was surprised to find that her second brother had fingernail marks on his face, clearly from being scratched.
With a gossipy glint in her eyes, Bai Qingzhi quietly approached her second brother.
From the side, you could see that the second brother was obviously fuming, and his eyes were fixed on the assistant's back.
"Second Brother, is this unrequited love?" Bai Qingzhi peeked out from behind him and asked.
Bai Qingze was startled, as he had no idea when Qingzhi had arrived.
Instinctively covering his injured face, Bai Qingze coughed a few times, then replied with feigned aloofness:
"Who am I? The second young master of the Bai family, a top-tier movie star in China. How could I not be loved? Heh."
Bai Qingzhi looked at her second brother's appearance, pursed her lips, shook her head, sighed, and seemed to be talking to herself:
"Sigh, I hope you won't be like Xiao Yangjing, saying you don't like or love her, but then dreaming about Nuannuan at night."
Bai Qingze was momentarily speechless. He reached out as if to grab Bai Qingzhi, but she nimbly dodged him.
"Second brother, take care of yourself!" Bai Qingzhi said, then turned and ran away.
Bai Qingze sighed helplessly, shook his head, and was somewhat happy about the changes in his younger sister.
Bai Qingzhi used an alias this time, so most people had no idea that she was Bai Qingze's sister.
Several people noticed the interaction between the two and immediately looked at Bai Qingzhi with inquisitive eyes.
Yang Wei is a very kind person. Although she is a film queen, she is not arrogant and is well-liked by everyone.
But she seemed to take special care of Bai Qingzhi, which only fueled speculation and gossip among those who were unaware of the situation.
The final conclusion was that Bai Qingzhi was probably the mistress of one of the investors.
Those who knew the script from the beginning admitted that her role as the third female lead was specially changed.
Rumors spread quickly, and many people came to Bai Qingzhi to make contact, but very few were genuinely interested.
She wasn't a particularly sociable person to begin with, especially since everyone here was so cunning and calculating. So Bai Qingzhi simply kept a polite distance from everyone.
Filming for the TV series began soon, and the first scene featured Yang Wei.
Although she is already twenty-seven years old, she has a unique charm when playing a female general at this age.
With her dashing and spirited demeanor, Bai Qingzhi felt that the ratings were absolutely guaranteed just by standing there.
Because she didn't graduate from a vocational college and hadn't systematically studied acting, the director was more lenient with her requirements.
In addition, her main co-stars were Bai Qingze and Yang Wei, both of whom were very patient with her, and miraculously the filming went very smoothly.
After watching the replay, many felt that the acting was commendable.
On the third day, the second female lead finally arrived late, and Bai Qingzhi was clearly taken aback when she saw her.
She had met Xiao Yuan's old classmate.
Han Lan.
Seemingly aware of Bai Qingzhi's identity, Han Lan walked over with a smile. At this moment, Bai Qingzhi was chatting with Yang Wei, discussing which restaurants in City A were good.
"Miss Bai." Han Lan maintained a dignified and elegant demeanor.
Bai Qingzhi nodded politely, but did not answer.
Han Lan didn't mind and sat down to join the two in their conversation, even addressing them as friends.
Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, Yang Wei has seen countless tricks and can almost immediately tell that the other party has ulterior motives.
Yang Wei assumed that Bai Qingzhi, like the others, was trying to curry favor with her or had an unclear background, so she didn't pay much attention to her.
"Does Miss Han know me?" Bai Qingzhi asked with a smile.
“Of course, anyone in the circle who knows even a little about the Bai family knows Miss Bai.” Han Lan nodded in response.
Her words subtly implied that she was also from a wealthy family.
Bai Qingzhi's smile widened, and then she winked mischievously.
"Then you'd better keep it a secret from me!"
Han Lan had carefully inquired about the actors in the crew before coming, so she naturally knew that Bai Qingzhi had entered under an alias.
"Of course." Han Lan agreed without hesitation.
After chatting for a while, Yang Wei went to film. Han Lan, who is the second female lead, has a lot of scenes to film, so her assistant took her to get her makeup done first.
There were quite a few people in the dressing room, including several actresses who were fourth or fifth-tier stars in the entertainment industry. Han Lan had met them a few times before coming here.
Upon seeing Han Lan enter, several women immediately surrounded her, chattering excitedly. One of them, with bright red lips and wavy hair, gossiped:
"I just saw you chatting with that person named Bai Zhi. Rumors on set are that she's being kept by the investors. Is that true?"
Han Lan was taken aback, then a smile appeared on her lips.
"Her identity is hard to say, just remember this: never mess with her."
After saying that, he winked at the group in a suggestive way.
“That must be it, only that kind of identity can't be seen in the light of day!” The group nodded affirmatively.
Han Lan didn't do any more illustrations, but the smile on her lips became even more pronounced.
She didn't say anything; whether they guessed right or wrong is their business.
"No wonder the resources are so good. She's the third female lead right off the bat. This show was personally selected by the CEO of Xiao's Group. There won't be any problem with the number of screenings in the future," another person said sourly.
"You're good-looking too, you could go find one!"
"Forget it, that kind of man is old and ugly. But if the CEO of Xiao's Group wants to sexually harass me, I might consider it."
The women changed the subject, since it's perfectly normal in the entertainment industry for investors to fund their mistresses' debut.
Hearing the group mention Xiao Yuan, Han Lan frowned and glanced displeasedly at the woman who had just spoken.
"You think you're worthy!" Han Lan roared inwardly.
Meanwhile, Bai Qingzhi was sitting on a recliner, frantically typing on her phone.
Xiao Yuan was in a meeting when his phone suddenly vibrated. Today was the Xiao Group's shareholders' meeting, and all the company's senior executives were present.
After the vibration subsided, Xiao Yuan ignored it. His assistant was reporting on the stock market fluctuations when a series of messages came in.
Seemingly having thought of something, he picked up his phone in front of everyone, and after seeing the message on it, he immediately curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"Your ex-girlfriend is here, and she's the second female lead in the drama! Did you arrange this?" Xiao Yuan could feel a sourness in Bai Qingzhi's text.
"You continue," Xiao Yuan said to his assistant before starting to reply to messages.
The hundreds of people sitting below looked at their boss in surprise, then at the sun still hanging in the sky outside.
That's right, it's definitely daytime now, and no one is dreaming.
Playing on your phone during a meeting? That's not like the boss at all!
The assistant silently rolled his eyes, and seeing the boss's smug smile, he guessed that it was Miss Bai who had sent the message.
