In a Film Set in Haicheng
After waiting the whole morning on set, it was finally time for Xu Yangyang’s scene.
There were two scenes in total, with five lines of dialogue.
After the filming, Xu Yangyang returned to the makeup room, where the crew’s shared makeup artist removed her makeup.
Xu Yangyang glanced at the makeup room next door, which was reserved for the lead actors of the show. With the male and female leads, as well as the male and female supporting roles, there were four people sharing an entire makeup room, while she, as a minor character, had to squeeze into a shared room with other actors.
The cosmetics were still shared, which made Xu Yangyang feel uncomfortable.
Her manager, Brother Chen, followed Xu Yangyang’s gaze and saw her staring intently at the spot where the female lead of the show was. He coughed lightly.
After the makeup artist finished removing Xu Yangyang’s makeup, she turned to help other actors, and Xu Yangyang’s greedy expression was unmistakable.
“Once you’re done with recording Let’s Go Traveling, you’ll get that kind of opportunity too,” Brother Chen said softly. “It’s an S-level variety show. After this show, your status will rise several tiers, and starring in a B-level drama will be no problem.”
After a brief pause, Brother Chen spoke again. “It’s just that Zhou Qingyu is a bit hard to get along with, so be careful when you’re on the show.”
Xu Yangyang laughed softly. Compared to participating in an S-level variety show, Zhou Qingyu, the spoiled young lady, was nothing. “Zhou Qingyu is just love-brained. As long as you say a few nice things about how Pei Yubai likes her, and cheer her up, what can’t she get?”
At the time, Zhou Qingyu wanted to join the variety show Let’s Go Traveling but struggled to find a partner. She decided to find a female artist from Xingyao Entertainment. Xu Yangyang, with her constant flattery of Zhou Qingyu and her pairing with Pei Yubai, made Zhou Qingyu overjoyed and thus secured the opportunity to join the show.
Not only that, but by keeping Zhou Qingyu happy, Xu Yangyang also received plenty of resources from her. Even the haute couture she wore on the red carpet a couple of days ago was arranged by Zhou Qingyu.
Zhou Qingyu, this spoiled young lady, was the easiest to flatter.
Brother Chen nodded. “As long as you’re clear on it.”
After all, Brother Chen knew that once Xu Yangyang attached herself to the Zhou family’s young lady, her future path would be much smoother.
Brother Chen added, “By the way, this variety show is a free travel one. The company has transferred you one million, and since Zhou Qingyu is too lazy to plan, remember to prepare the itinerary yourself.”
Xu Yangyang’s eyes lit up. She could barely make a million after working hard for half a year! Yet Zhou Qingyu casually transferred her a million!
The first stop of Let’s Go Traveling was in Country F. While Country F had high expenses, what would she need a million for? Tonight, she could just find a travel agency to put together an itinerary for thirty to fifty thousand, and the rest of the money would be all hers!
Xu Yangyang took out her phone, staring at the zeros in her balance, growing happier the longer she looked.
The phone rang. It was Zhou Qingyu calling, asking to meet up later.
Xu Yangyang had finished her shoot for the day, and her makeup had already been removed. Since Zhou Qingyu was calling her now, it was most likely to discuss tomorrow’s variety show.
With this thought, Xu Yangyang grabbed her bag and happily hurried toward Hongrui Mall.
Xu Yangyang and her assistant arrived at the first floor of Hongrui Mall.
This was Haicheng’s high-end shopping district. Xu Yangyang had been here a few days ago and had her eye on a limited-edition bag from Brand B. Unfortunately, her pockets were too shallow, and she couldn’t afford it.
But since Zhou Qingyu had asked to meet here, she could finally bring that bag home!
The two of them walked into the mall, and outside Brand A’s store, they spotted Zhou Qingyu inside.
Zhou Qingyu was her usual radiant self. Though she wore a simple and understated little black dress, it couldn’t hide her stunning beauty.
Every time Xu Yangyang saw Zhou Qingyu, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. Heaven was too kind to Zhou Qingyu, giving her not only a family fortune rivaling nations but also unparalleled beauty.
At times like this, Xu Yangyang would check Weibo Square to find some of Zhou Qingyu’s negative news. Knowing that so many people were criticizing her made Xu Yangyang feel a little better about herself.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Xu Yangyang saw Zhou Qingyu picking out clothes, with a young girl trailing behind her, dressed in cheap fast-fashion clothes costing around a hundred yuan. She was also carrying several shopping bags, probably Zhou Qingyu’s assistant.
Xu Yangyang knew that Zhou Qingyu’s personality was haughty, and she was often unkind to those around her. Changing assistants was a common occurrence for her.
At this moment, Zhou Qingyu already had a large pile of shopping bags behind her, with various brands, dazzling and full of choices.
Her assistant curiously asked, “Sister Yangyang, I remember Miss Zhou doesn’t like Brand A, but she’s bought so many things from them this time. Do you think she bought them for you?”
Xu Yangyang narrowed her eyes slightly, clearly noticing this detail as well.
Zhou Qingyu picked out two matching outfits for her and pulled Yan Xi to the fitting room to try them on.
Xu Yangyang and her assistant walked into Brand A’s store.
Zhou Qingyu didn’t like Brand A, but Xu Yangyang did, especially their new small square bags. She had been eyeing them for a long time and had even posted pictures of them on Weibo.
Seeing one of these small square bags in the shopping bags now, Xu Yangyang picked it up and tried it on.
The sales associate quickly stepped forward. “Excuse me, miss, I’m sorry, this bag belongs to another customer. If you’d like, I can contact our headquarters to have one sent to you!”
Xu Yangyang admired herself in the full-length mirror. “Don’t worry, she bought it for me!”
The small square bag looked great on her, making her appear more elegant and expensive. Xu Yangyang pulled out her phone and asked her assistant to take a picture, but she noticed the sales associate had accidentally gotten into the shot, which annoyed her.
