Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

Not far away, Xu Rui watched as Xi De and Lu Zhen went to collect their lunch boxes again. She couldn’t help but turn to her assistant, Mimi, and say, “Hey, do you think there’s anything between the two of them? Xi De rarely chats with anyone. Why does he have endless things to say to Lu Zhen all day?”

Mimi didn’t dare say anything but mumbled, “I don’t think so.”

“Why not? Director Ding Zhi always praised them for having a tacit understanding when they acted together. He said that they looked at each other as if they could pull strings. If they didn’t have any emotional foundation in private, would they have such a tacit understanding when they acted? The director never praised Wu Dai and me,” Xu Rui said thoughtfully as she played with a prop gun in her hand.

Mimi glanced at Lu Zhen and Xi De, not really agreeing with Xu Rui. Was it possible that Director Ding Zhi praised Xi De and Lu Zhen because they were indeed acting very well?

Mimi was not a professional film critic, but from the perspective of an ordinary audience, she felt that Xi De and Lu Zhen’s acting skills were indeed the ceiling of the cast. Although Xu Rui and Wu Dai’s acting skills were not bad, they were still far inferior to Xi De and Lu Zhen.

Of course, Mimi did not dare to say this in front of Xu Rui. She could only lower her head even more.

Xu Rui was a little dissatisfied that the assistant did not agree with her. She turned her head and looked at Mimi in disdain. “What a quiet person. I asked you ten questions and you couldn’t answer a single one.”

However, Mimi’s silence was sometimes a good thing. If she spoke less, she wouldn’t spout nonsense. Xu Rui’s previous assistant was fired because she liked to gossip too much.

Xu Rui didn’t want to look at Lu Zhen anymore. She turned around and was about to leave when her phone rang. She picked it up and smiled. “Aunt, why are you looking for me? Oh, the production team should be wrapping up soon. It’s all thanks to you that I got this role. When the production team wraps up, I’ll treat you to a meal… What? You’re here?”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment. After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly walked out of the film base and saw a low-key black car at the entrance.

Xu Rui opened the car door and got in. She hugged a fashionable woman in the backseat. “Aunt, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I wasn’t prepared at all!”

“I came to see you on the way. You must have had a hard time filming. Look at you, you’ve lost weight. Your grandfather’s heart will ache when you get back. He’ll definitely scold me when the time comes.” Xu Juan patted the back of Xu Rui’s hand affectionately.

“How could that be? If you hadn’t brought me into the industry, I wouldn’t have been able to join Director Ding Zhi’s production team. My grandfather has an old-fashioned mindset. When I win a big award in the future, he won’t say that I shouldn’t enter this industry.” Xu Rui leaned against Xu Juan’s shoulder and rubbed against it. Her eyes were bright and filled with ambition and confidence.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t get you the female lead this time. Originally, this matter was possible…” Xu Juan shook her head regretfully.

“It’s fine, Aunt. I’ve just entered the industry and am still a newcomer. It’s good to start from the second female lead. The pressure on the first female lead is too great. If the box office and reputation of this movie are not good, the responsibility will definitely be on Lu Zhen. I won’t have to worry so much.”

“You’ve been sensible since you were young. It’s not in vain that I dote on you. Work hard. I’ve already selected the next film for you. I’ll definitely let you be the female lead!” Xu Juan smiled in relief. Suddenly, she thought of something else. “By the way, how’s your relationship with Lu Zhen recently?”

The smile on Xu Rui’s face faded a little. “What else? She snatched my role previously and became famous because of the marketing role. Can I still be her good sister?”

“I understand. Aunt just wants to remind you not to have a conflict with her on the surface The trending topic that said that she was not popular was suppressed by her company. That manager of hers is very capable. Jia Le is also a big company. They’re protecting her now. Don’t act rashly.” Xu Juan reminded her.

Xu Rui pouted. “Am I such an impulsive person? If I wanted to mess with her, I would have done it long ago. I just want to finish filming this movie as soon as possible. I feel annoyed just looking at her.”

Xu Juan pondered for a moment and revealed an imperceptible smile.

“However, just because we can’t touch her doesn’t mean that some people can’t.”

“Aunt, what do you mean?” Xu Rui did not understand..
