“If not for the fact that I don’t want our other colleagues to work for nothing, I really wouldn’t want to sign him! What a joke!”
“Learn a lesson. It’ll be good if you have experience next time.”
“Look at him. He can’t compare to Shi Jin in popularity, he can’t compare to Sister Hu in qualifications, he can’t compare to Brother Xing in comedic effects, and he can’t compare to anyone in terms of youth or looks.”
When Shi Jin heard these words, she recalled that she had heard Yao Jiahong mention this Sha Haimu before. However, she did not investigate in detail at that time and let it go.
Only now did she realize that he was such a difficult person to serve.
She did not mind. Perhaps it was just his team causing trouble, or maybe it was just a mistake in communication between everyone. She could not make a judgment easily.
After the two directors finished complaining, they packed their things and went out to arrange work.
Only then did Shi Jin come out.
Hu Yanlan greeted her. “Shi Jin, I just went out for a run and actually saw a fellow countryman selling corn. Do you know how this corn is sold?”
“I don’t know.” Shi Jin walked over curiously and picked up the corn. All of them were very good and very fresh. It looked like there was still dewdrops on it.
“He guarded the field and let me pluck whichever I like. Look at this, I bought six. Everyone has one for breakfast.”
“Alright, I’ll peel it and cook it now.” Shi Jin helped her peel the corn shell.
The others had also woken up. After washing up, they saw fresh corn and came to take a look.
Xu Ning took a few eggs and said, “Then I’ll fry eggs for everyone to eat.”
Seeing that there was no need for her help in cooking the corn, Shi Jin went over to watch Xu Ning fry eggs.
When breakfast was almost ready, footsteps sounded outside.
It seemed like Sha Haimu was about to arrive.
Everyone quickly stood up to welcome him.
In Shi Jin’s impression, Sha Haimu had short hair and was tall and athletic. Although he was not very handsome or exquisite in the entertainment industry, he was still a very agile actor.
Hence, she was a little surprised when Sha Haimu walked in.
The man in front of her had long hair and was wearing a female beret. Shi Jin could tell at a glance that his hair was a wig.
The clothes he was wearing were also a little strange. They were not the shirts or clean T-shirts that male actors often wore, nor were they the fashionable clothes that some male celebrities who liked trendy brands liked to wear. Instead, he was wearing lace-edged clothes that were a little translucent. The clothes on his lower body was relatively loose, and for a moment, she could not tell if it was a skirt or pants.
Although Shi Jin was surprised, her expression remained normal from the beginning to the end as she greeted Sha Haimu.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Sha Haimu. You can call me Mumu.” He spoke a little… Shi Jin did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that his voice was a little coquettish.
“Hello, Mumu.” It was not strange for someone of Hu Yanlan’s age to call him that.
However, Shi Jin, Jiang Zexi, and Xu Ning were both much younger than him. It was not appropriate for them to call him that. Hence, everyone called him ‘Brother Mu’.
Xu Ning had originally worked with Sha Haimu, but when Shi Jin looked at her, it was as if it was her first time seeing him, as if she did not know him at all.
If Shi Jin had felt that the directors had misunderstood Sha Haimu in the past, then now, she could completely sense the discomfort Sha Haimu brought after he came.
His dressing and speaking style were very inclined to being girlish and delicate, but he himself was tall and strong, giving people the feeling that he was a little nondescript.
Unknown to Shi Jin, the fans had already started admiring Sha Haimu.
After breakfast, Hu Yanlan said, “We’re going to travel in this town today and won’t return until tonight. There are five attractions to go to, and every one of them requires you to buy tickets. We don’t have much money, so at noon, everyone has to buy lunch sparingly. Otherwise, you won’t be able to enter the attractions in the afternoon. If you can’t enter, you won’t be able to take photos of the attractions. If you can’t, it means that your trip today will fail. Those who fail won’t be able to get the starting capital for tomorrow, and tomorrow will be even more difficult.”
“Alright, we’ll work hard!” Wang Xing immediately said. “A brave worker is not afraid of difficulties.”
Everyone made a cheering gesture.
Shi Jin and Xu Ning were both young girls. Although they were not on the same team, they got along despite the competition. The two of them walked forward hand in hand.
Shi Jin saw the staff throw an empty beverage bottle into the trash can and had an idea. “Can you give us the beverage bottle?”
“Sure,” the staff agreed immediately.
Xu Ning also understood what Shi Jin’s intentions were.
There were dozens of staff members together. The two of them quickly collected many empty bottles and even the waste paper boxes that they did not want after packing the equipment.
They carried it to the recycling station not far away. When the owner saw two beautiful young girls coming over to sell scrap, he rounded up and gave them 10 yuan for the scrap that was originally worth 9.5 yuan.
Xu Ning was overjoyed and ran to look for Hu Yanlan. “Sister Hu, Sister Hu, look, Shi Jin and I have earned ten yuan. Our lunch fund will increase a little at noon.”
“You two young girls are really smart,” Hu Yanlan praised with a smile.
“We’ll leave the funds with you.” Xu Ning generously handed the money to Hu Yanlan.
When everyone saw this ten yuan, they were even happier than when they usually earned a million yuan.
When the fans saw this, they almost laughed to death at Xu Ning and Shi Jin. “This is so funny. I didn’t expect Shi Jin and Xu Ning to participate in a trash-picking program instead of a tourist show.”
“The two of them are holding onto ten yuan like it’s ten kilograms of gold. Hahaha, I can’t laugh anymore.”
“It feels good to be young and energetic.”
Xu Ning said to Shi Jin, “Whatever we see later, we’ll pick it up. I’ll see what else they want to drink.”
Sha Haimu said, “Shi Jin, I’ll go with you to take a look and earn some money.”
“Let’s go,” said Shi Jin.
The others walked forward seriously. Only Xu Ning and Shi Jin had been thinking of ways to earn money.
After Sha Haimu joined, there was one more person.
“Where did you find the thing you were selling for money just now?” Sha Haimu asked.
“We asked the staff for it.”
“Isn’t this cheating?”
“They were going to throw it in the trash anyway. I was just collecting it,” Shi Jin said indifferently.
Sha Haimu said, “That’s not too good, right?”
In the past, Shi Jin rarely disliked a person so much just because of a few words. Congratulations, Sha Haimu. He had done it.
She did not reply, nor did Xu Ning.
“It must be great to be young girls. Everyone else is willing to take extra care of you,” Sha Haimu said to himself again. Shi Jin did not want to reply.
