After the meal, they all sat on the sofa and read the script together.
Jian Ai and Xia Qinghuan discussed the roles, while Chen Jin looked at the two of them.
“When will the filming start? What if you’re supposed to be in school?” Jian Ai suddenly looked at Xia Qinghuan and asked.
Erzhong was a traditional Chinese school, unlike the foreign high schools that only had two classes in the afternoon. Erzhong had four classes in the afternoon, and it would be five or six in the evening when school ended.
“Filming starts on the first of May. When we’re in school, I’ll go to the production team after school.” Xia Qinghuan pursed her lips and said, “It must be hard, but I like it. It’s worth it.”
Jian Ai shook her head helplessly. It had been some time since she became friends with Xia Qinghuan, and they were tablemates. After interacting with her, she more or less understood Xia Qinghuan’s character. This lady was completely different from typical rich young ladies. She had her own views and ideas.
Since she really liked acting, Jian Ai believed that she could persist.
After a while, Xia Qinghuan suddenly raised her eyes to look at Jian Ai. The stars in her eyes flickered, but Jian Ai felt that there was a conspiracy.
“What…”
Jian Ai felt her scalp tingle and she frowned.
Xia Qinghuan chuckled and leaned towards Jian Ai, whispering, “Jian Ai, be my assistant, okay? Accompany me to the production team. I’ll give you a salary!”
Jian Ai: “…”
What the hell was that idea?
Without thinking, she shook her head and rejected, “I don’t want to.”
“Oh…” When Xia Qinghuan heard this, she immediately hugged Jian Ai’s arm and started to act spoiled. “I’m begging you. Those playing smaller roles than me have an assistant and manager accompanying them to the production team.”
Jian Ai rolled her eyes. “Your family is a huge entertainment company. Are you still lacking an assistant? Why don’t you ask your father to give you one or two?”
Xia Qinghuan pursed her lips. “I’ve said it, but my father didn’t give one to me. He just wanted me to suffer so that I would back off.” As soon as she finished speaking, she shook Jian Ai’s arm hard. “Help me put on a show. I’ll give you a salary!”
“I have plans for the first of May. I’m going overseas.” Jian Ai was helpless and explained, “Besides, I’m just a fourteen-year-old girl. How would I help? I’m just going to be a joke!”
As she spoke, Jian Ai glanced at Chen Jin, who was looking at the script. Her eyes lit up. “Let him accompany you!”
Although Chen Jin was only seventeen years old, the childishness on his face had already faded. He was 1.75 meters tall, so he was not considered short. He was still more intimidating than a fourteen-year-old girl like her.
Chen Jin looked up with a confused expression. “Huh?”
Xia Qinghuan reacted and was delighted. “Alright, Brother. Didn’t you want to see Yun Buyao? Follow me into the production team, okay?”
Jian Ai added, “There’s a salary too.”
Xia Qinghuan: “Five hundred yuan a day!”
Chen Jin: “…”
He only received one thousand yuan a month in Starlight Bar, but this girl was going to give him five hundred yuan a day?
He could even see Yun Buyao!
Chen Jin was rather tempted.
However, he could not help but feel a little afraid. “But I’ve never done such a job before.”
It was fine to let him enter the production team to do odd jobs, but he was going to be an assistant now and even pretend to be a manager. He did not know how to do that.
However, Xia Qinghuan did not care. Her request was simple. She needed someone to be by her side when she entered the production team. It was a matter of face. Knowing or not had nothing to do with it.
Even if Chen Jin was standing beside her, it was enough!
Jian Ai comforted him. “It’s fine. Just treat it as you’re going in to study. Every celebrity has an assistant and a manager. Just take a look at what others are doing.”
Chen Jin pursed his lips and struggled internally.
“Really?”
Xia Qinghuan quickly nodded. “Sure!”
