That evening, Ariel Zimrman saw the startup photos released by the crew next door.
Although Gregory Xander is not as well-known as Scarlett Jennings in the entertainnt circle, quite a few people in the Mystical Sect know him.
It’s incredible that Gregory Xander would take on such a "job."
Compared to work, they prefer to believe it’s Gregory Xander helping out as a friend.
Hmm, just like when he helped Ariel Zimrman as a consultant before.
As if to validate everyone’s speculation, the director and lead actors of the crew all posted the startup photos, except for the second female lead, Vivian Houghton. After posting the group startup photo, she separately tagged Gregory Xander’s account to thank him for hosting the startup ceremony.
Many netizens and fans flocked over to watch.
[Wow, it’s really Xander!]
[What’s going on? Isn’t Xander Ariel Zimrman’s mystical consultant?]
[Ah, isn’t Xander supposed to be Ariel’s mystical consultant only? Did I ship the wrong pair?!]
[Xander is from the Mystical Sect, please don’t tie him to the entertainnt circle, thank you.]
A range of comnts poured in, and the comnt count on Vivian Houghton’s Weibo quickly surpassed 100,000.
This also beca the most popular comnt among her many Weibo posts.
The producer was naturally delighted that the crew had such popularity right at the startup; in the entertainnt industry, traffic is king, and it’s better to have any discussion than no discussion at all.
Soon, the hashtag #VivianHoughtonGregoryXander# shot up the trending list.
Ariel Zimrman, having mixed in the circle for so many years, could easily tell whether it was truly trending or a bought trend.
With just a slight thought, she realized the other crew’s intentions, her eyes grew colder, and she couldn’t help but snort coldly,
"Playing gas with !"
She picked up her phone and started typing furiously.
Of course, she wasn’t going to contact Gregory Xander proactively; even before they had their falling out, she had no reason or position to restrict him from interacting with other female celebrities or taking on tasks.
Ariel Zimrman has always had her boundaries.
Besides, in such a small situation, there was no need for Gregory Xander to do anything.
After rapidly sending out ssages,
Soon, the situation on Weibo changed.
The lead female and male actors, the second male, the third female, and third male actors all posted on Weibo, tagging and thanking Gregory Xander for hosting the event today.
Moreover, the format and wording of their posts were quite similar to Vivian Houghton’s post.
This lineup of gratitude made Vivian Houghton’s separate tag suddenly seem less special and ambiguous.
To outsiders, it looked like the crew’s main actors were giving a lineup of thanks, only that Vivian Houghton, the second female lead, posted her thanks first, that’s all.
Gregory Xander’s fans tily pointed out that Vivian Houghton wasn’t even in Xander’s follow list.
As more fans of other main actors joined in, the popularity of Vivian Houghton’s trending topic quickly fizzled.
This stunt involving Gregory Xander lasted less than half an hour before it announced its demise.
Vivian Houghton was so frustrated that she turned off her phone.
anwhile, Ariel Zimrman was happily punching her bed while lying on it,
"You little scher! See how I easily thwarted your plot!"
By mobilizing her gal pals and other actors to post, she ended up owing several als.
But she was happy~
The small storm on the internet passed quickly, without even Gregory Xander going online.
After feeling satisfied, Ariel Zimrman was a bit displeased with Gregory Xander’s silent account.
Though she knew his Weibo account, like Scarlett’s, was hardly logged into, she still felt upset.
"Attracting trouble."
Ariel Zimrman comnted truthfully as she looked at his account avatar, then switched to her chat page with Scarlett, ready to sever all possibilities of Vivian Houghton clinging to Gregory Xander.
...
Chalrs Family.
Scarlett Jennings was rarely in the mood to start doing crafts again — carving a Jade Talisman.
Samuel Chalrs initially joined in, mainly to keep her company.
Later, unsatisfied with the jade chips flying everywhere, he simply gave up on the skill of jade carving, opting instead to watch her work from the side.
From ti to ti, he would help her clean up the accumulating jade chips, occasionally feeding her sips of water.
The two stayed quietly like this until suddenly the phone screen lit up, showing a friend’s ssage.
Samuel Chalrs glanced at the phone placed not far away, prompting Liora Gold and Araminta Gold to imdiately scamper over.
The two little ones, one behind the other, carried Scarlett Jennings’s phone over to her.
Liora Gold carried the phone alone while Araminta Gold lay on top of it, her small arm sliding across the screen to unlock it, then to the ssage column to open it.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t need to do anything at all. She looked up and found another ssage sent by Ariel.
And that ssage was rather puzzling —
Ariel: [Scarlett, can you assign a task to Gregory Xander on behalf of the Security Bureau to keep him busy?]
Scarlett Jennings raised an eyebrow slightly.
Instead of replying to Ariel imdiately, she wiped her hands and pulled up the ssage Gregory Xander sent her a few days ago.
Gregory Xander: [Do you know the specific location and filming arrangent of Ariel Zimrman’s current crew?]
She didn’t deliberately hide the ssage as she checked it; naturally, Samuel Chalrs could see it clearly too.
While raising an eyebrow, he asked, "What’s going on?"
Scarlett Jennings looked at the ssage from Gregory Xander and then at the ssage from Ariel, quickly coming to a conclusion.
"Probably a fight."
One is chasing after soone, and the other wants to distance them. Though it feels like the roles are sowhat reversed.
Samuel Chalrs wasn’t too concerned with other people’s matters, but since they involved Scarlett, he still asked,
"Do you want to intervene?"
If necessary, he could have Simon make arrangents directly.
Scarlett Jennings pondered for a mont at Samuel Chalrs’s words, then shook her head, "No."
Matters between two people, especially those involving emotions, are not suitable for outsiders to interfere with too much unless they escalate to a serious level.
But it evidently hadn’t co to that yet.
Thinking this, Scarlett Jennings still freed her hand to reply to Ariel’s ssage —
[I’m rely a Junior field officer in the Security Bureau, I can’t arrange tasks for Gregory Xander.]
She typed seriously, while Samuel Chalrs watched with amusent in his eyes.
"Junior?"
The kind that could order Simon around as a Junior?
Scarlett Jennings justified with confidence, "Yes, I’m truly a Junior."
Even though her Points and accumulated rit Points were enough to promote her to managent level or even replace Simon’s position, she had no interest in managent. Having never claid her reward for ritorious service ant she was technically still a Junior.
Not exactly lying.
Upon seeing her satisfied with her level, Samuel Chalrs chuckled a bit, agreeing,
"Yeah, I’m also a Junior."
The two exchanged a smile, and Scarlett Jennings continued with her Jade Talisman crafting.
anwhile, Ariel Zimrman was dumbfounded upon receiving Scarlett Jennings’s ssage.
"Soone like Scarlett, yet she’s just considered a Junior at the Security Bureau?"
The Security Bureau, officially recognized as a special talent departnt, truly houses hidden talents.
Ariel Zimrman thought that her knowledge was still too limited.
Gripping her phone, while browsing Weibo, she unknowingly fell asleep.
In the quiet room, a faint rustling sound gradually erged, similar to the noise of paper moving, almost inaudible.
Before long, a little paperman made of yellow talisman struggled out from the pocket of Ariel’s clothes beneath her, barely squeezing out.
Once it finally erged from under her, the little paperman shook its head, looking at the person fast asleep on the bed...
