“It’s not too bad. It depends on the structure and degree of popularity of the magazine.”
Yan Jinyi was suddenly interested. “Will the pay be a five-figure sum?”
“Of course, it’s definitely going to be at least a five-figure sum.”
Yan Jinyi turned around resolutely and said, “When it’s time to start filming, come look for me at the garden.”
As soon as she left the resting room, she eagerly pulled out her cell phone to call Huo Zihang.
Huo Zihang was having a conference. When he saw the caller ID, he picked up the call and stood up. “Let’s pause here, I’m going to take a call.”
The group of senior executives looked at each other.
‘Which seductress has bewitched Third Young Master again?’
Huo Zihang hurriedly picked up the phone, “I’m having a meeting, I’m very busy now.”
“Huo Zihang, has a magazine invited me for a photoshoot before?”
Slightly stunned, Huo Zihang answered, “Yes, what’s the matter?”
“Damn it, tell them that I’m up for the shoot!”
Huo Zihang asked in shock, “Huh?”
“If I get offered any magazine shoots again in the future, accept all of them.”
Yan Jinyi hung up before Huo Zihang could answer.
Staring at the phone screen with a frown, Huo Zihang thought, ‘Why is Yan Jinyi acting up again? Didn’t she say that she wants me to turn down all jobs and casting calls for her?’
‘Who’s the boss of the company!?’
The filming of the variety show began. It was split into three segments, with the first being the creators of the film giving and introduction, followed by a showcase of talent, and then a game session.
Zhuang Heng was known for being talentless apart from having some decent acting chops. However, none of his fans minded his lack of talent because of his good looks.
As for Yan Jinyi…
“Jinyi, what talent are you going to perform for us?” The host handed the microphone to Yan Jinyi.
Yan Jinyi would never admit that she was a little nervous when facing such a large audience.
The only way to conceal her nervousness was to act aloof and distant.
With a stern expression on her pretty face, she reached out for the microphone and glanced at the audience. She said coldly, “Smashing a huge rock on my chest.”
‘What’s going on?’
Thinking that he had heard wrongly, the host rubbed his ears and asked, “Jinyi, will you repeat yourself?”
Glancing at the host coldly, she repeated patiently, “Smashing a huge rock on my chest.”
The audience widened their eyes.
‘Damn it!’
‘Do people still believe such stuff these days?’
Tao Wei thought that Yan Jinyi was joking. Sensing the sudden awkwardness on set, he smiled and said, “Don’t be mistaken by Yan Jinyi’s aloofness. She’s actually good at cracking lame jokes.”
Yan Jinyi furrowed her meticulously drawn brows slightly and answered solemnly, “I’m not joking.”
‘Uh…’
At this moment, Zhuang Heng suddenly applauded. “Great! You’re indeed my Little Pepper!”
‘Zhuang Heng, you don’t have to do that. You can’t even smash a rock, let alone a dainty little girl…’
Yan Jinyi stretched her muscles and said, “Get me a brick.”
Seeing how insistent Yan Jinyi was, the host had already thought of a countermeasure and that was, if Yan Jinyi made a fool out of herself, he would just say that it was a deliberate arrangement to match her role.
They soon found the brick and Yan Jinyi rubbed it on her hand before handing it to the host. “Let them check it.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t want them to say that I cheated later.”
Feeling like he was completely compliant towards Yan Jinyi, the host nodded and said, “Oh, okay.”
The brick was passed around by the audience before being returned to Yan Jinyi.
Glancing at Zhuang Heng abruptly, she said, “Lie down on the ground.”
Zhuang Heng blinked his peach-blossom-shaped eyes and said with a shy expression, “Little Pepper, we’re at a shoot. This isn’t appropriate!”
“Hurry up.”
“Okay!”
They exclaimed almost in unison. Zhuang Heng immediately took off his jacket and laid on the ground. Staring at Yan Jinyi with great anticipation, he said, “Little Pepper, I’m ready.”
At this moment, all of Zhuang Heng’s fans who were present thought, ‘Zhuang Heng is indeed different.’
