The next day, Sheng Yan woke up, got ready, and then gently shook Jinxia awake from her slumber.
She hadn’t taken the day off, so no matter how late she had slept the night before, she had to get up and go to the set for filming.
Jinxia had reminded Sheng Yan multiple tis yesterday to make sure to wake her up.
He Jinxia rubbed her bleary eyes, her gaze vacant. Her head throbbed with a lack of sleep, and her eyes were incredibly dry.
Seeing this, Sheng Yan’s voice deepened, "Not taking a day off?"
The phrase "take a day off" struck a chord in Jinxia’s mind, and she imdiately sat up in bed, shook her head, and said hoarsely, "No need. Everyone is rushing the shoot, I can’t hold back the progress of the crew."
Sheng Yan helped her massage her temples, soothing her nervously twitching nerves, and sighed lightly, "How are you more professional than I am?"
He Jinxia laughed with a "pfft," helplessly spreading her hands, "I can’t help it. Who made you more popular than ! You’re famous, you can afford to be lazy."
In the industry, Sheng Yan’s acting skills were top-notch, his popularity was top-notch, and his temper was also "top-notch" —
Famously difficult to deal with.
This man, arrogant and aloof, certainly had the credentials to back his disregard for others.
Sheng Yan’s schedules were strictly adhered to the contract: when it was ti to rest, he rested. When in a good mood, he demanded overti pay for delayed work tis.
When in a bad mood, he would walk out right on ti, no matter the cost!
No one knew when his mood would be good or bad, directors loved and hated him at the sa ti.
While chatting leisurely with Zhang Ming previously, He Jinxia had managed to extract quite a bit of information from him.
Seeing her spirits reviving, Sheng Yan’s phoenix eyes ward with a gentle smile, and his heart too cald down. He leaned in and whispered news into her ear.
He Jinxia’s eyes widened slightly, her heart seed to stop at that mont, she froze for a good while, the excitent coming to her belatedly.
"So you’re saying, I have a good chance of securing Vanks’ endorsent?"
During the New Year in February, there had been many incidents, and at that ti, her negative news was quite prevalent. When she went to Vanks’ interview, she felt dood and didn’t harbor much hope; it was purely for gaining experience.
Since that interview, there had been no follow-up news, and now it was already April. In another month, by May, the contract with the forr Vanks’ female spokesperson for the Huaxia Region would expire.
With only a month left, He Jinxia didn’t believe she could secure this endorsent.
If it weren’t for Sheng Yan ntioning it today, she would have almost forgotten about it!
Seeing her excitent, Sheng Yan’s mood was also influenced, and he couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth. However, he didn’t forget to temper her enthusiasm:
"Don’t get too excited yet. Before confirming the spokesperson, Vanks has the habit of inquiring about the reputation of the spokesperson candidates from the stars they have collaborated with."
"There are several candidates for the spokesperson, and you are just one of the initial selections. Next, there will be a final choice, and Vanks will probably have the spokesperson candidates co in for another interview. Only after the final interview results are out will they truly decide on their spokesperson."
Knowing she wasn’t yet confird, He Jinxia wasn’t discouraged at all and said enthusiastically, "I never thought I’d get past the initial selection. Now that I’ve made it to the second round, I’m already very satisfied.
Whatever cos next is a bonus. Even if I’m not ultimately chosen, it doesn’t matter. At least I already know that in a luxury brand like Vanks, I also carry so weight."
Sheng Yan was about to ntion that she actually had a big backer she could rely on, but seeing Jinxia’s happy face, he subconsciously suppressed that remark and just watched her with a smile.
So surprises are better revealed later; they beco more exciting.
He Jinxia snapped out of her joy and hastily asked, "By the way, what did Vanks ask you?"
Sheng Yan ntioned casually, "Nothing serious, just asked what kind of a person you are, how you are related to , and whether your acting is good, that sort."
They were all very common questions, but He Jinxia was unusually anxious, repeatedly asking him what his replies were. After ensuring there was no issue, she quickly left the room.
Sheng Yan waited for about ten minutes, then rose from his chair, fully equipped to leave the room as well.
He looked down at his mobile screen; the display showed a chat interface, the very one from the morning’s conversation with Vanks’ staff.
The last question from the staff was—
"What is your relationship with He Jinxia?"
Sheng Yan didn’t reply with ’my junior sister’ as he had said to Jinxia, but instead, he said:
"Fiancée"
— Instakill!
The coordinator didn’t send any more questions, and even through the phone screen, you could feel the shock and amazent of others!
At the end of the screen, Sheng Yan added: "She is shy, so she asked not to tell others."
The staff instantly replied: "Mr. Sheng, rest assured, I am very professional!"
The conversation ended there, and Sheng Yan locked his phone and put it in his pocket.
...
Upon arriving at the film set, everyone was filming as usual, and there were no unusual circumstances.
However, as they fild, He Jinxia noticed that the actress playing Princess Yu Yun—He Xirui—was giving her so odd looks, observing her more frequently than before, but whenever He Jinxia looked her way, she would divert her gaze.
He Jinxia’s eyes slightly narrowed in confusion, wondering about sothing, and she suddenly felt a chill and panic, but she quickly suppressed it and continued filming as if nothing had happened.
At noon, as He Jinxia expected, He Xirui approached her openly!
When He Xirui approached her, Yu Yanyu was pulling Ren Xiao to join her table, but this ti their party of three beca four, as Yu Yanyu had also invited Qiu Zhenze over.
The four of them, not more than five years apart in age, had different personalities but none were hot-tempered and were open to listening to others, so there was no generation gap when sitting together.
He Xirui walked straight up to her, and with an open deanor said to He Jinxia that there was sothing she wanted to ask her about and asked if they could talk alone.
Yu Yanyu and the other three male stars looked at each other, unsure of what was going on, and Yu Yanyu, ever so bold, blurted out, "It’s not about seeking revenge, right?"
He Xirui smiled, reassuring them: "No, I have a friend who knows senior Jinxia, and I’m asking on her behalf."
Yu Yanyu was about to say sothing else but was interrupted by He Jinxia: "Okay, let’s talk at the back."
Before leaving, she gave Yu Yanyu a reassuring look, signaling him not to worry.
Watching He Xirui walk away, Yu Yanyu suddenly had a thought and blurted out, "Could they be long-lost sisters?"
Ren Xiao: "..."
Qiu Zhenze: "..."
Yu Yanyu, seeking agreent, said, "They both have the He surna, maybe it’s possible!"
Qiu Zhenze: "... Even if they were separated as kids and adopted, it’s unlikely to end up with the sa surna as their kin, right?"
Yu Yanyu: "Maybe the little kid still rembered her na when she got lost?"
Qiu Zhenze actually began to discuss this with him: "If the little kid rembered her na, the people who adopted her were probably kind-hearted. Then why not post a missing person notice online to find her mom?"
Yu Yanyu speculated: "Maybe the adopters had no children and really wanted this little girl, so they didn’t try to find her biological parents?"
Qiu Zhenze was speechless, unable to refute.
Ren Xiao muttered to himself in mockery: "You’ve been reading too many novels, haven’t you?"
Yu Yanyu looked surprised: "How did you know? I’ve been reading about the entertainnt circle lately!"
Ren Xiao silently sweated three drops: "Hehe, what a coincidence."
anwhile, He Jinxia and He Xirui had co to a big tree.
Before He Jinxia could speak, He Xirui took the initiative to ask: "Do you know Xie Jiahui?"
