Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Hostility
Ding Xue brought Si Cheng into the studio, and the staff greeted her one after another.
"Hello, Director."
"Hello, Director."
"There was someone coming for an interview this morning. Is he here?" Ding Xue asked.
"He's here, just left," said the assistant director sitting in front of the computer. "The kid performed well, better than the kids we interviewed before, and he wasn't stage fright either."
"Dear Little Friends" is a children's variety show, and the children in it are all amateur children.
"Where is the demo? Let me see." Ding Xue walked to the assistant director, leaning on the back of the chair.
The assistant director opened their interview demo for Ding Xue to watch. He glanced at Si Cheng standing at the door and asked, "Who is that kid? Is he here for an interview too?"
He wanted to say that although this child was good-looking, his expression did not look very pleasant and was very cold, unlike the child just now who loved to laugh and was friendly.
If he also came for an interview and had no background, he would have rejected him. Because when filming this kind of variety show, the most annoying thing is to encounter ignorant young masters with connections.
"Oh, my nephew." Ding Xue answered casually, her eyes fixed on the computer screen and her fingers tapping the mouse.
Assistant Director: ...
He knew Ding Xue's background. Her sister married the richest man in J City, so this guy was a real young master! Most people couldn't afford him!
The assistant director's expression suddenly changed. He said with a smile, "Why let him stand there alone, Xiao..." He glanced around and called to a girl working there, "Xiao Li, bring out some snacks and take the kid out to play."
"No, he doesn't eat snacks." Ding Xue said, turning back and calling to Si Cheng, "Come here."
When Si Cheng heard the voice, he immediately caught a glimpse of Xia Ji on the computer screen, frowned, and walked over.
Ding Xue played the demo again, finally stopping at Xia Ji and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think this kid named Xia Ji is good. Let's give him the last spot." The assistant director nodded with a pen.
"I didn't ask you." Ding Xue looked at Si Cheng.
Si Cheng was physically disgusted when he saw this face, but the person in the video seemed different.
He felt that there was something wrong with Xia Tian in the video, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
In his previous life, the Si family helped and raised him, but when he was in trouble, he ran to the Si family's enemies and turned against the Si family. He is a complete ungrateful person.
He was sure that he had never seen such a bright and generous smile on Xia Tian's face. It was as if she had become a different person.
"The first one." Si Cheng said one casually.
"The first one? Why?" Ding Xue was surprised. She slid the mouse to turn to the interview clip of the first child. It was also a little boy, but he looked a little dull and not as good-looking as Xia Ji.
"honest."
"He's indeed quite honest." The assistant director said with a pat on the back.
Ding Xue was a little speechless. After all, others could never understand her nephew's train of thought. She explained, "We are filming a variety show and need children who are more active. Xia Ji looks very smart, obedient, and very expressive."
"That also depends on one's character, right?" Si Cheng said coldly.
Ding Xue: "..." This is just an interview demo, what can you tell about a person's character? Or does her nephew have titanium alloy eyes?
"That's right. This kid named Xia Ji looks very cunning. So let's choose the first one? Hmm? Ding Xue?" said the assistant director.
Although the assistant director was a bit flattering, he was complimenting his own nephew, so Ding Xue would not object too much.
So the last spot was decided.
When the three of them were talking, Ding Xue asked about Si Cheng appearing on the show. The assistant director naturally agreed and said that if he participated, he could be given a special guest position.
"Let's talk about it later. He may not necessarily participate." Ding Xue looked at Si Cheng who had walked to the photographer and was studying the lens with him.
"That's right. After all, they are a wealthy family. They would never let their children show up in public," said the assistant director.
Ding Xue put her hands on her hips and said speechlessly, "What era is it now? He's still showing up in public. Letting him go on the show is just for fun. Besides, he doesn't have the words "Eldest Young Master of the Si Family" slapped on his face. If you don't tell anyone, who will know where he comes from?"
"That's true. It was previously rumored that she was the granddaughter of a certain TV station leader. Uh, is that true?" the assistant director gossiped.
"What do you think?" Ding Xue tilted her head speechlessly, glimpsing her empty fingers. She suddenly exclaimed, "Where's my ring?"
The ring was her engagement ring with her boyfriend, and it was very important to her because she had only worn it for less than a week.
"You didn't have a ring on your hand when you first came," said the assistant director.
Ding Xue quickly called the driver and asked him if there was a ring in the car, then hurried downstairs.
Si Cheng took a glimpse and followed.
Xia Ji looked at the diamond ring in his hand. He was not someone who didn't know the value of things. If it was real, such a big diamond ring would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I originally wanted to hand it over to the front desk and ask them to help find someone, but the receptionist was playing games the whole time and told me to go play somewhere else. He seemed very unreliable.
"Sister, sister." Xia Ji raised her head, her voice tender.
The receptionist held up her phone and said, "Fuck! Jungler, are you blind? You passed by the bottom lane and saw them crossing the tower, but you didn't come to help. You #$%&&#"
summer:"……"
He returned to the elevator holding the diamond ring, thinking that if such a large ring fell off, the owner should be able to notice it quickly. He would wait here for a while, and if nothing worked, he would call the police.
Just then, the elevator door opened and Si Cheng and Ding Xue came out.
"Are you sure you've looked carefully? Drive the car over here and I'll look for it myself. I think I fell off the car..." Ding Xue was talking on the phone as she rushed out, passing Xia Ji directly.
Xia Ji only felt a gust of wind blowing, and before he could say anything, Ding Xue ran out.
He looked at Ding Xue's back in confusion, blinked, turned around and met Si Cheng's eyes. He was stunned for two seconds, pursed his lips, and smiled at him.
Revealing two sweet dimples.
Si Cheng's eyes were cold. He just ignored him and walked out without looking around.
summer:"……"
Ding Xue stood on the steps outside the building waiting for the driver to drive over. Si Cheng stood beside her, his mind unconsciously recalling Xia Ji's smile just now, and frowned. Why did he look a little, stupid?
In my previous life, I was timid and cowardly in the summer. I would smile with my brows lowered. I would never look into other people's eyes and smile openly like this.
Just as I was thinking about it, a tender voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Sister, what are you looking for?"
Ding Xue turned around and saw that this was the kid who was auditioning for their show. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you pick up?"
Xia Ji put his hands behind his back and looked at her with his head held high. "Tell me what you lost first, then I can tell you what I found, because it's something very valuable."
He was handsome, and his generous appearance made him even more pleasing. Ding Xue couldn't help but squat down to look him in the eye. Her appearance was clearly reflected in his clear big eyes.
"I lost a very important ring. Little boy, what did you pick up?" Ding Xue's voice softened a few degrees, and she no longer had the loud voice she usually had.
Xia Tian took out the ring, held it up, and asked innocently, "Is this it?"
"Ah! This is it!" Ding Xue exclaimed in delight. She eagerly took the ring from Xia Ji's hand and kissed it. "Thank you so much, little friend. Where did you find it?"
"It's at the elevator." Xia Ji pointed inside the building with his little hand.
Ding Xue looked around. "Are you alone? Where are your parents?"
"My mother went to see a friend and asked me to wait for her in the lobby. Sister, since the lost property has been returned to the owner, I will go back." Xia Ji said in a grandma's voice.
"No, no, you have helped me so much, I must thank you very much. What toys or snacks do you want? I can buy them for you." Ding Xue held Xia Ji's little hand and felt that this child was really sensible and polite.
Si Cheng was speechless watching this strange development. He actually called him "aunt sister"? What was his generational status then? His uncle?
The key point is that his aunt also calls herself sister. Well, his aunt has always been shameless.
The child was very righteous and said, "No need, sister, just return the item to its original owner. I have to go back and wait for my mother."
Ding Xue was immediately amused again. "What's your name?"
Xu Suxin came out of the elevator and found that Xia Ji was missing. She looked everywhere anxiously and finally saw him outside the building through the floor-to-ceiling window. She walked out angrily.
"Xia Ji! Why are you so disobedient? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the hall?"
Xu Suxin didn't know Ding Xue and cursed as if no one else was around.
She walked a few steps towards Xia Ji and pulled his little hand hard.
Xia Ji staggered two steps before he could stand firm.
Seeing that the child's white and tender arms were almost immediately covered with red marks, Ding Xue frowned slightly, but did not show it on her face.
She stood up and spoke with some momentum, "Don't blame him, he found my ring and just came to return it to me."
Xu Suxin looked at Ding Xue and noticed that she was well-dressed. Her attitude immediately became much kinder. "So that's how it is. I was really worried sick just now. Don't run around like that next time. Even if you find something, you have to wait for me right there. I'll help you return it to the owner."
"It's not safe to leave children alone. It's better to bring the children with you next time you go out," said Ding Xue.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped by the roadside. The driver got out and shouted to Ding Xue, "Second Miss, I looked in the car, but I couldn't find it."
"I've found it." Ding Xue said.
Xu Suxin pulled Xia Ji and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Xia Ji waved sweetly to Ding Xue and said, "Goodbye, sister. My name is Xia Ji. Remember it!"
"Okay!" Ding Xue also smiled and waved at him. Looking at the mother and child getting on the car, she sighed in her heart that if all children were so cute, there wouldn't be so many people who didn't want to have children.
She glanced at her nephew with a sullen face beside her and said helplessly, "Let's go, go up and sit with me for a while."
"I have something else to do, so I'll go back." Si Cheng got into the Rolls-Royce directly.
This summer is completely different from the summer of his previous life, as if he has become a different person. He wants to investigate.
"Hey! What could be wrong with you? You're just a 17-year-old kid, and you seem to be very busy all day long." Ding Xue shouted.
Si Cheng ignored her and asked the driver to drive away.
Ding Xue: “…”
When she returned to the studio, she told the assistant director that the last spot would be for Xia Tian, and then she told him what had just happened, which surprised the assistant director.
What's important between people is fate. Ding Xue thought that she really liked the child at first sight.
