Shi Chen said seriously, "Xi Xi is my sister, and I will not stand by and watch her be sad."
If there's no possibility of a future relationship between you two, I'll introduce her to outstanding young men.
It's not like his precious little sister is unwanted!
Xie Yunzhou: "Okay."

That evening, Shi Chen and Shi Xi had dinner together.
Shi Chen fried a steak and then fried a soft-boiled egg for Shi Xi.
Shi Xi poked at her steak with her fork and asked, "What were you and Xie Yunzhou discussing during the day? Were you thinking about collaborating?"
Shi Chen raised an eyebrow, "So concerned about him?"
"I just asked casually." Shi Xi lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
Shi Chen said, half-jokingly, "The condition for the Mitchell family to cooperate with him was that he would become their son-in-law, but he was unwilling and wanted to cooperate with me instead."
"Are you going to cooperate with him?" Shi Xi asked.
"No, I advised him to become a live-in son-in-law." Shi Chen started talking nonsense: "Striving is too tiring, isn't it more enjoyable to be a live-in son-in-law?"
Shi Xi gripped the fork, and with one thrust, the plate cracked.
Shi Chen: ?!
"You... what's wrong with you?" Shi Chen felt that his joke might have gone too far.
"It's alright, this plate is too flimsy." Shi Xi smiled slightly. "I'll go get another plate."
Shi Chen looked at his plate with heartache.
His set had four plates, and now one is broken, leaving only three.
They are not in pairs.
They don't look good even when displayed.
Moreover, this plate comes as a set and cannot be purchased separately.
Shi Xi changed the plate, ate her dinner quietly, and stopped mentioning Xie Yunzhou.
She didn't care whether Xie Yunzhou lived or died.
Whether Xie Yunzhou lives off a woman or a man is none of her business!
The two remained silent until the end of the meal.
Shi Chen: A short pain is worse than a long one.
As Shi Chen cleared the dishes, he looked at the plates in his hands, feeling conflicted.
Should we keep all three plates, or throw one away to make a pair?
...
Shi Xi returned to her room and received the final cast list from Han Chuan.
Lead actress: Shi Xi
Male lead: Pei Kai
Second male lead: Lou Ruicong
Second female lead: Tang Xueer
Shi Xi glanced over and her gaze settled on the male lead.
"The male lead is Pei Kai?" Shi Xi asked in surprise, "He can act?"
Han Chuan said, "He showed great talent during the audition."
Shi Xi hesitated, "But he's not from a professional acting background and has no acting experience. Is it really okay for him to directly play the male lead in a movie?"
Han Chuan: "You're not from a professional acting background either, and you didn't have any acting experience before you started acting."
Shi Xi: "...I invested in this movie!"
"What instructions do you have, boss?" Han Chuan asked. "Or do you want to specify who to act in the movie?"
Shi Xi said weakly, "Chu Yuan."
Han Chuan couldn't help but say, "First of all, the male lead in your movie is a college student, while Chu Yuan is already 25 years old."
Secondly, we can't afford to hire him.
Life is tough, Shi Xi sighed.
"Aren't there any other candidates?" Shi Xi asked.
“After considering all factors, he’s the best deal,” Han Chuan said. “I’ll send you a few audition recordings; you can take a look.”
After watching it, Shi Xi found that although Pei Kai was not the best actor, as a new actor, his lines and expressions were very natural and he had the youthful energy of a college student.
Others, on the other hand, seem a bit affected and pretentious in this regard.
It's remarkable that Pei Kai, an introverted and taciturn person, could perform so fluently.
