It was Shao Jinhuan who broke the deadlock and silence. He came over with a paper bag in his hand and handed it to Shen Ci: "This is for you."

Shen Ci was confused and a little at a loss. He hadn't received a gift from Shao Jinhuan for a long time, but he always found various reasons to give Shao Jinhuan gifts, trying desperately to please him.

But every time Shao Jinhuan chose to decline politely or pass it on to Bai Ziwei.

The sudden reversal of their roles made Shen Ci feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is your birthday present, I made it myself." Shao Jinhuan said in a calm and gentle voice: "I don't know if you like this pattern. It's cold recently, so keep warm."

Shen Ci's first reaction... was that the mute Lu Shao Jinhuan actually said so many words in one breath!

No, no, I should respond to him first.

Facing the gazes focused on him, Shen Ci took the paper bag with gritted teeth: "...Thank you."

Shao Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile in his eyes: "No need."

All the people present... would not allow him to do such an intimate act as putting a scarf around Shen Ci with his own hands.

Especially the cold gaze that Lu Xiao gave him, which was like a physical object, making Shao Jinhuan feel uneasy and even sweating on his forehead.

As long as Shen Ci could accept this gift, he would be satisfied.

Shen Ci had been hurt by him before, so it would be better not to rush into winning him back. She could wait until he was moved again.

"Xiaoci, I'm leaving first."

Shao Jinhuan said goodbye to Shen Ci. Soon, Shao Jinhuan's car drove away calmly in Wei Shuo's shocked eyes.

Seeing Shao Jinhuan choose to give up so tactfully, Wei Shuo had a look of pity on his face. He curled his lips and said to himself, "Tsk, this is not exciting at all. I deliberately let him win and he's still so scared. Wouldn't it be better to just come up and rob him directly?"

Shen Ci didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Wei Shuo: "I say - go and open the gift! Shao Jinhuan made it himself, otherwise just open it in the car, hehe."

Shen Ci felt that Wei Shuo's expression was strange. He always felt that he had bad intentions and wanted to play a trick on him again.

But when I think about it carefully, I can't figure out why.

Wei Shuo squinted at him and said, "Hey, duck, I suddenly remembered that my cat is hungry. I'm going home to feed the cat first. You can choose anyone to go home with you!"

Shen Ci didn't have time to hold him back. He watched Wei Shuo quickly get into the car and prepare to leave. He quickly exposed him: "Who are you kidding? There is no cat in your house!"

Wei Shuo's car passed by Shen Ci leisurely, leaving a sentence "electronic pet" and drove away mercilessly.

Shen Ci: “…”

He turned his head with a stiff neck and looked at Shen Bie and Lu Xiao. Both of them looked at him with ease and seemed very harmonious.

In fact, neither of them was willing to give in, and Shen Ci felt that he could hear sparks flying between the two of them.

Shen Ci wanted to cry but had no tears. On one side was his elder brother, on the other was his younger uncle, this was a damn death question!

***

Fortunately, Shen Bie suddenly took the initiative to suggest taking Lu Xiao's car back to Shen's house together, so Shen Ci was able to get away with it.

"Are you tired?"

"Me? I'm fine!"

He opened the back door and sat next to Lu Xiao. Just as he finished talking to Lu Xiao, Shen Bie squeezed in.

Shen Ci was sandwiched between the two and was speechless: "...Brother, can't you sit in the front? It's so crowded!"

Shen Bie observed the distance between Lu Xiao and Shen Ci warily: "No, I really want to sit with you today."

In order to prevent Shen Ci from throwing himself into his arms again, he even stopped driving his beloved car and abandoned it at the company. How could he be easily sent away by Shen Ci?

Shen Ci: “…”

She couldn't persuade Shen Bie, and she didn't dare to persuade her uncle. She wanted to go to the front seat, but was stopped by two people at the same time. They were sitting in a luxury car worth tens of millions of dollars, but three people in fancy clothes had to squeeze together in the back seat... It was inexplicable!

Why did you agree to that, Big Brother? Shen, the person involved, said that he regretted it now, very much.

***

The next day was the day to shoot a public service advertisement. Brother Zhang came to pick up Shen Ci early in the morning and set off for the XXTV building.

Shen Ci was dazed in the car for a while before he woke up a little and listened sleepily to Brother Zhang telling him about the work arrangements.

"You have to start recording variety shows after the New Year, which will start around May or June. In the gap between now and then...why don't you try a web drama with a campus background? A sweet idol drama is easy to act in."

Zhang Ge paused for a moment and added, "Oh, by the way, Yang Xi plays the male lead, and the invitation given to you is to play the female lead's brother, which is considered the male lead number three? The male lead number two is a newcomer named Lin Wan."

Shen Ci was startled and came to his senses: "Wait, Brother Zhang, who do you think will play the leading male role?"

"Yang Xi."

Shen Ci was full of questions: "Isn't he a singer? Can he also act in movies?"

Brother Zhang: "Who cares if he can make the film or not? Anyway, they want his traffic and he wants their money. Isn't it a perfect match? It's a sweet drama, so it doesn't matter."

An artist who has been a professional singer-songwriter for more than ten years and has no acting experience suddenly plays the leading male role?

Yang Xi is really obsessed with money. Shen Ci couldn't imagine the quality of this drama.

Shen Ci frowned: "It's true that one dares to invite and the other dares to accept..."

"We're here." Brother Zhang slowed down and drove into the parking lot.

Hearing this, Shen Ci subconsciously sat up straight and adjusted his hair and clothes with his hands. Before entering the underground parking lot, he turned around and looked at the building outside the car window.

Although he had been here with his father before as an advertiser, this was the first time he came here for his own career, so Shen Ci couldn't help but feel excited.

Brother Zhang was familiar with the route. After parking the car, he took him into the elevator and went to the corresponding shooting floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, I saw a busy scene. Staff members were shuttling back and forth, and many celebrities wearing sunglasses had just arrived with their assistants.

Shen Ci: “!!!”

The female star who just passed by him seemed to be Jiang Shu, a famous actress that Wei Shuo particularly liked!

Younger people like them basically grew up watching TV dramas starring Jiang Shu. Although she has been a little silent in recent years, she is still very recognizable among the public.

Shen Ci never thought that he would meet such a big star.

Brother Zhang found it funny: "Look at your ambition, your eyes are almost glued to me."

Shen Ci's eyes were full of stars: "Brother Zhang, I can actually shoot a commercial with such a big shot."

Brother Zhang put his arm around his shoulders and took him to the dressing room. He smiled and said, "Then try to make sure the younger generations can say the same thing when they see you."

***

The design of the PSA is not too fancy or complicated. Shen Ci's makeup is very light, and the clothes are just simple white sweaters. She looks fresh and lively like a neighbor's younger brother, and it was completed quickly.

"Hey, Teacher Jiang's dressing room is here, right?"

"Yes, yes, have you brought the replacement earrings?"

"Here she is. She has a strange temper."

"Alright, alright, stop talking..."

“…”

After finishing his styling, Shen Ci was swinging his legs in boredom for a long time in the styling room. He heard a noise outside, so he pricked up his ears curiously and eavesdropped for a long time. He found out that Jiang Shu's dressing room was right next to his.

Shen Ci was a little eager to try, this opportunity... was a bit rare.

He greeted Brother Zhang, took the small notebook from his bag, jumped off the chair, ran to the dressing room next door, and leaned against the door to look inside.

Jiang Shu's makeup was complete, and she was carefully checking in front of the mirror to see if there were any flaws. The staff put on small earrings for her.

Before long, Jiang Shu's styling was completely completed. Reaching for his phone, Shen Ci quickly knocked on the door.

The agent sitting on the sofa didn't even raise his head: "Come in."

Shen Ci walked in and bowed politely to Jiang Shu, then handed him a small notebook with a smile on his face: "Teacher Jiang! I have a friend who likes you very much. Can you please sign it and I will pass it to him?"

It's just a simple signature, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Jiang Shu was browsing his phone. Hearing this, he glanced at Shen Ci, then quickly looked away: "I'm busy."

Shen Ci: “…”

Shen Ci was caught off guard by the other party's indifference, and put down the notebook with some embarrassment.

Shen Ci has been trying to change his temper lately, and has slowly gotten used to everyone smiling at him. Suddenly, he hits a thorn again... He can't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, he is a big star who has become famous through his works, so it is understandable that he is unwilling to pay attention to a newcomer like him who is more interested in traffic.

But if you think about it this way, Min Song is also a cool and powerful superstar, why is he so kind to him?

Shen Ci bowed slightly again, said "Sorry for bothering you", and left, touching his nose awkwardly.

Jiang Shu saw Shen Ci disappear at the door with his peripheral vision, then he put down his phone and muttered to himself sarcastically: "Tsk tsk, another vase traffic who will be popular for a few years before being ruined. No wonder I am not popular anymore. It turns out that the audience likes this kind of thing now..."

Jiang Shu's agent witnessed the whole process and was at a loss for words.

It was obviously her own fault for not making progress. She was always clinging to her past glory and resting on her laurels. Why was she bashing innocent newcomers?

The agent finally kept silent. Jiang Shu had a bad temper in private, so she should not get involved in this bad luck and get scolded.

***

The filming started soon. Although Jiang Shu didn't like him very much in private, he was a professional who had been in the circle for decades after all, so his superficial work was acceptable.

She finished her lines to the camera, then handed the microphone to Shen Ci with a smile: "It's your turn."

Shen Ci didn't like her style of saying one thing in public and another behind her back, so he smiled a little reluctantly: "Well, thank you, senior."

Jiang Shuying's on-screen character is completely fictional. This is too tiring.

He was the last one to record his lines, and after he finished reading, he handed the microphone directly to the staff.

"Teachers, please stand as arranged by the staff. We are going to take a group photo and recite the lines." The director said with a smile while holding a loudspeaker, and the relevant responsible personnel immediately moved.

Shen Ci was assigned a position quite close to the center, and he felt a little flattered. Brother Zhang even smiled and gave him a thumbs-up from a distance.

In fact, Shen Ci and Zhang Ge both knew that it was a great opportunity for him to shoot such a heavyweight public service advertisement, even if he only stood at the end and showed his face.

"Why did you arrange me here?" Jiang Shu asked with some doubt.

The staff member quickly explained: "Teacher Jiang, this is our arrangement after careful consideration. I hope you can understand."

Shen Ci took a look with a casual attitude and found that Jiang Shu was placed near the end. If it was broadcast on the screen, the exposure might be lacking, so it was normal for Jiang Shu to be unhappy.

Jiang Shu kept a soft and helpless smile on his face: "Although I'm not that popular now and I'm old, I'm still a senior after all. Since you invited me here, you'd better respect me."

"At least, I deserve to be in that position, right?"

Qianqian pointed her slender finger at Shen Ci's position, and Shen Ci was confused again.

How can you eat a melon and collapse your house?
