CHAPTER 23 PART 2

"Let me ask, your boss is really a small celebrity, right?"

Chen Pingping glared at him and said, "Who is the small star you're talking about?"

Ah Li quickly apologized: "Fine, fine. I was wrong, I was wrong. A superstar, a superstar."

"Of course, our family's Xixi will be a big celebrity soon."

"But what works does your boss have ah; I don't seem to have seen her on TV?" Ah Li asked looking at Chen Pingping's eyes.

"Our family's Xixi just graduated from the film academy this year. Just debuted a few days ago, it's normal for you have never seen her. However, you will see, right away, our family's Xixi will will soon become popular." Chen Pingping said full with confidence.

"Haha, yes, yes. At a glance, I also think that your boss is not a *thing in the pond."

[*thing in the pond – metaphor for people with no lofty ambitions]

"You have the foresight!"

"That, beauty, would it be fine to add you on WeChat? Don't misunderstand, it's not convenient to ask about the itinerary. Everyone is a little assistant working for the boss, we understand each other. Just in case your boss suddenly comes back and our boss disturbs people again, then won't I be miserable. Obviously, that's not doing the job properly ah."

"Fine then, for the sake of you having foresight, I will mercifully add you." After she said that, she added another sentence, "Plus Young Master Ye's signed photo."

"Thank you beau...... ty! Okay, I'll get it for you right away."

After adding on WeChat, it was already 12 o'clock when Ah Li returned to the 24th floor. From morning until now, he hasn't eaten a bite of food ah, it's not easy for him. He has been buying cakes since nine o'clock, but since Young Master Ye was exposed yesterday, the business in the cake shop has soared ah. It took him more than an hour to get it through the back door, it's really sad ah.

After returning at eleven, he talked to the difficult little assistant from downstairs for another hour and only then the information the boss wanted got obtained.

He quickly took out the boss's signed photo from his bag and quickly gave it to the little assistant downstairs. Such things, he already readily carried with him.

He knocked on the door of the recording room. After getting permission from the boss, he walked in and said, "Dong Ge, the task is completed, fortunately."

"What did she say."

"Hehe, the beauty downstairs is leaving this afternoon, going to Hengzhou to film and won't be back within a week."

Hearing this, Ye Handong nodded in satisfaction and said: "That's good."

Downstairs, after eating a takeout meal, they packed up the outfits to participate in the launch of the new green tea advertisement. Before going, they went first to the styling studio designated by Wang Jie to put on makeup and change into a new light green short skirt.

At the backstage, Li Zixi discovered that Zhang Ruoyang had already arrived today. It was really the sun rising from the west, he actually arrived. Only, when she saw him and his agent talking to the boss of the beverage company, Li Zixi knew that she's thinking too much. Many people are unprofitable and cannot afford to be early.

What she has to do today is a small supporting role, nothing of value, as long as there is no mistake, that'll do. She won't go up and talk to the boss.

When he was about to take the stage, Zhang Ruoyang hurriedly went to the backstage. Li Zixi greeted Zhang Ruoyang with a smile: "Hello, senior."

Zhang Ruoyang looked at Li Zixi up and down and nodded faintly with no expression. Then he continued to speak quietly with the agent beside him.

After a while, the host asked the both of them to be on stage. Originally, the two of them will go in separate ways. When they were about to appear in front of the public, Zhang Ruoyang suddenly showed Li Zixi a warm smile, bending over to signal Li Zixi to come up on the stage first.

Li Zixi quietly admired Zhang Ruoyang's face-changing skills. No, to be precise, she quietly watched him pretending. She smiles at him and nodded, then took the lead up the steps.

The host timely said: "Wow, our Yang Yang is so warm ah. Worthy to be called Yang, as warm as the sun. Of course, our female lead is also very fresh and pleasant."

After going up and standing on the stage, Zhang Ruoyang took care of Li Zixi several times. Of course, what he got was the constant praise of the host and fans' screams in the audience.

Li Zixi feels like she has just eaten a fly, but she still smiled and told everyone that she obviously ate a lobster.

She thought, that it was a mistake to give him 85 points before. It should be 58 points.

When she stepped down, Zhang Ruoyang was very polite and modest, letting her go down first. When he got to the backstage, Li Zixi smiled and said to Zhang Ruoyang, "Thank you, senior, for your care."

Zhang Ruoyang ignored Li Zixi this time and directly went to find his agent. If his agent didn't tell him to do this, he wouldn't do it. Does it make sense? This is not a very popular celebrity; he still has to condescend and take care of her. He really feels that sometimes, his agent's mind is stuffed with shit. This kind of little star doesn't know how many will be wiped out among the people every year. Isn't investing now too early?

Li Zixi looked at where Zhang Ruoyang left and shook her head, thinking, "That's right. Just now, she was so disgusting that she is really unacceptable ah."

Looking at Li Zixi's calm face, Chen Pingping asked in a low voice, "Xixi, are you okay?"

"It's nothing ah, what can I do. Let's go and return the clothes. I still prefer to stay in Hengzhou; there won't be many right and wrong, just feel at ease and film."

While waiting for the taxi, Chen Pingping whispered, "Xixi, don't worry, since last time, I don't like Zhang Ruoyang anymore."

Li Zixi smiled and said, "Really, you still know distant and close relatives."

"Of course, I'm more than knowledgeable of distant and close relatives, but I also know the *major issues of principle. People like him, there are first and next male celebrity. Sooner or later, it will be exposed."

[*major issues of principle - a principled and fundamental question of right and wrong]

The corners of Li Zixi's lips pulled down and said, "That's not necessarily going to happen. Don't you see so many unvirtuous 'old artists' who were not exposed when they were young. Besides, some people haven't been exposed when they got old."

Chen Pingping said angrily: "No one exposes him, then I will go..."

Li Zixi glared at her and said, "You'll go what?"

Chen Pingping covered her mouth and said, "I'm not doing anything. I was wrong."

"Heng, it's best to be like this. If I find out that you are talking nonsense outside behind my back, I will fire you in minutes."

"Xixi, don't be like this, I definitely won't. I do everything with your interests put first. I do it for your good. I will never do what is bad for you."

Li Zixi was thinking in her heart, exposing him isn't impossible. However, what Zhang Ruoyang doing now is at most, disgusts her a bit, making her feel a little uncomfortable. Unlike Chen Yan, who brazenly changed her script and spread rumors about her. She really didn't need to cut him off. Wait until he really offended her someday to talk about it.

"Right, your Young Master Ye offended me today. Didn't you listen to his gossips, go expose it online."

Chen Pingping immediately refused: "Xixi, how can this be done ah, *the mouth that eats is shortened ah. Young Master Ye gave us cakes to apologize. Please forgive him."

[*the mouth that eats is shortened – I'm actually confused with this one. I think there was a mistake because there is an idiom close to this: The mouth that eats the food of others is softened; the hand that takes the possessions of others is shortened. It means to give favor after receiving favor which is similar to 'there's no free lunch in this world'.]

"Oh, so you're saying, Young Master Ye is your true love. I'm second?"

Chen Pingping simply wants to cry without tears ah. Talk more, more mistakes.

The author has something to say:

Seeing that everyone is dissatisfied with the assistant, she is just stupidly cute. Don't worry, she won't stir trouble. Her existence is probably to be a foil to the female lead's image. Hahahahahahaha

I wanted to change it this morning, but the wifi was broken, it was just repaired. Thank you little angels for your support. Mwah~~

Thank you little angels for the landmines
