Chapter 144: He is that delivery guy

Yanzi, who had just negotiated another endorsement contract for her dear Bai Liang, was in a very good mood and felt her desire to raise his rates rising as well.

She was quite steady in her work; she hadn't put all her eggs in the basket of *Love O2O* becoming a massive hit. Not being in a rush to take on more endorsements didn't mean she wouldn't take any at all.

Instead, she took advantage of the current hype surrounding *Love O2O* to raise his rates a little, letting her dear Bai Liang recover some funds.

They had to; looking at the rate they were going, the money was about to run out again!

For the sake of this studio, Yanzi really had sacrificed a lot—she was the true head housekeeper.

Her goals afterward were very clear: besides raising prices, she wanted to help Bai Liang land some more prestigious endorsements.

For example, high-end luxury goods, cars, watches, and so on.

Once those endorsements were secured, they wouldn't just bring in fees; they would also have a positive impact on the artist's commercial value and image.

Oh, right, and there was Red Bull.

Their attitude currently seemed rather ambiguous, but Yanzi actually wanted to help Bai Liang land a Coca-Cola endorsement instead.

Let both sides stay ambiguous for now.

Just as she was pondering these things, a call came in.

"Hello, Bai Liang Studio. May I ask who is calling?"

"Hello, this is Wu Jing."

Wu Jing confidently stated his name, feeling it should still carry some weight, and then began to formally discuss the matter of filming.

However, Yanzi:???

What, another military action theme?

What, they might have to go to Africa to film?

What, they can't offer much money?!!

Yanzi: Why don't you go to a temple and make a wish instead?! Are you here to "beg" from our dear Bai Liang?

Ahem, her internal thoughts were always quite intense, but naturally, she wouldn't lose her manners when speaking.

Moreover, she wouldn't act on her own and simply turn down such a project for Bai Liang.

She was, of course, aware of the *Wolf Warrior* project.

The first one was a success; she figured the second one couldn't be that bad even if it flopped.

But compared to the scale of *Operation Red Sea*, it still felt a bit lacking.

Yanzi "boldly" imagined: the box office should be able to pass one billion, right? The first one already made five hundred million.

That sounds pretty good~ It's just a pity they're a bit stingy.

"Director Wu Jing, our Bai Liang is currently filming on set. Could you send over a script first?"

Hearing Yanzi's tone, Wu Jing, a competitor who had often been rejected before, immediately sensed something was off.

Too polite!

It wouldn't be a template rejection, would it?

At this moment, his mood was a bit like Gu Man's earlier; after discovering a particularly fitting actor, he started to feel restless.

However, Wu Jing was an action-oriented person with a swift style. "Which set is he filming on? I can go over and talk to him in person."

Yanzi: Oh no, he's latched on!

She knew there were some guys in the industry who loved playing the "empty-handed white wolf" game.

They would use high-sounding words like dreams and art to trick artists into working for cabbage prices.

These "old rascals" in the industry were very bad!

*Wolf Warrior 2* was a decent project, but the screen time and role importance Wu Jing offered were likely not as good as those from *Duckweed*.

Han Han had said that the second male lead role offered to Bai Liang had significant screen time! It could even be called a dual-male lead.

The more "resistant" Yanzi acted, the more "excited" Wu Jing became.

How to put it? In more romantic terms, if that person had ever appeared in the world, then everyone else would become a compromise, and I would not be willing to compromise.

Those words came from Gu Man's *Silent Separation*.

Teacher Gu Man was still exerting her influence.

How could Wu Jing, who had mortgaged his house, allow his casting to miss such a suitable candidate?

He wished every frame of the movie could be exactly as he envisioned~

He definitely had to try his best to win him over.

It could be said that because of Yanzi's strange attitude, Bai Liang, who should have been the one being chosen, inexplicably stood on the active side.

Still the same saying: the one who flirts first is the cheap one.

However, Dilireba didn't seem to understand this principle; at least in Yang Mi's view, this little girl didn't know how to handle men at all.

It had been a few days since filming started, and she was almost glued to Bai Liang.

It was so proactive that it was hard to watch.

This scene was common on the *Love O2O* set, and everyone was used to it.

But on the *Eternal Love* set, when Dilireba did this out of habit, it truly opened the eyes of the others.

Are you two not even pretending anymore?

Originally, Yang Mi thought about giving her a direct warning, but seeing the heartfelt smile on her face, she felt a bit reluctant.

So she waited two more days.

Let the little girl enjoy herself first; it could be considered "mercy" from Sister Mi.

"Reba, come over here. Sister wants to talk to you~"

"Eh?"

Logically, upon being called by Sister Mi, Dilireba should have gone over immediately.

But she subconsciously glanced at Bai Liang's trailer first, and actually hesitated for two seconds before heading toward Yang Mi.

This pause was seen clearly by Yang Mi, and her assessment of the severity of the situation rose a level in her heart.

This was no longer just ordinary throwing oneself at someone! She would probably have to strike hard!

Fortunately, Dilireba wasn't that uninhibited, sneaking into Bai Liang's trailer all day long.

With people coming and going on set, the impact would still be too bad.

Basically, Zhu Xudan and Huang Mengyin were always with her. With "spies" watching, the current intelligence on their relationship was that it was more than friends but not yet lovers.

Yang Mi didn't doubt the accuracy of the intelligence; after all, Zhu Xudan, Huang Mengyin, and Reba's assistant couldn't all be lying together, right?

What virtue or ability did Bai Liang have to let him "infiltrate" their Jaywalk Studio like this?

Absolutely impossible!

"Sister Mi~"

"It's been a while, why are you being so distant? Come, sit here with me."

Yang Mi affectionately took Dilireba's hand and pulled her to sit tightly against her.

She was just as handy at flirting with girls as she was with men~

Your Sister Mi could kill both men and women!

This behavior actually made Dilireba feel a little embarrassed; after all, being held by the arm by Yang Mi, the squeezing sensation from the other party's two "canteens" was quite obvious.

Body bullying~

"How does filming feel lately? I heard from Director Lin Yufen that you're doing quite well."

"Um, it's okay. I will continue to work hard."

"Don't work too hard. By the way, I heard Bai Liang also helps you with your acting?"

"Um, he does help me often."

"Is his acting that good? Better than mine?" Yang Mi asked with some curiosity.

Honestly, at this moment, Dilireba really didn't know what to say.

If she told the truth, she was afraid of hurting Yang Mi's self-esteem.

If she lied, it would be too fake; with the education she had received, it didn't support her telling such lies.

Her big eyes were full of confusion, and only one thought was in her mind: Sister Mi, what kind of acting skills do you have? You know it yourself, right? You were never an acting powerhouse in the industry anyway.

For now, Dilireba felt that never mind Bai Liang, even if she went up... perhaps she could narrowly win.

Yang Mi was such a smart person; her mind was very active. Although she didn't put this mind into studying acting, she was an expert at studying people.

She understood immediately and almost couldn't keep a straight face.

How unreasonable!

Hmm... is it true or false?

So she let Dilireba go and prepared to find Bai Liang himself to test the quality of this little fresh meat.

Almost the exact same routine.

"Xiao Bai~ come over here, Sister wants to talk to you~"

"Hmm?"

!. Read

Bai Liang, who had just finished a scene and ran out to buy a bag of snacks, didn't hesitate when he heard the call and walked straight over.

After getting into Yang Mi's trailer, he naturally closed the door behind him.

This behavior almost made Yang Mi's smile stiffen on her face. What do you want to do, kid?!

In broad daylight, under the bright sky!

"Eh~ that doesn't seem quite right."

Bai Liang reacted in time, turned around, and opened the door again.

"Sister, what do you need me for?"

"What did you call me?"

"Sister?"

"I love hearing that!" A smile appeared on Yang Mi's face, and she even gently tapped the back of Bai Liang's hand with her finger.

This tiny bit of physical contact seemed to be right on the boundary line of what was called ambiguity.

Bai Liang didn't blush, but he really wanted to connect with the other Sister Zhao on the spot and ask her: How do you deal with this kind of thing?

However, Yang Mi naturally wouldn't give him that chance. She leaned forward slightly. "I heard your acting is super good, and you even help other actors with their scenes?"

"Ah? Did I overstep?"

"Where did you pick up such fancy words." Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him, but it was still full of charm. "Why don't you practice scenes with me? Since your acting is so good, bring your sister along too."

Bai Liang scratched his head. You have a husband~

But that didn't seem appropriate to say, so he changed his phrasing: "I'm a bit shy."

Perfect answer!

Yang Mi was very satisfied with this, and a little milky sound even hummed out. "You're quite cute~ What's there to be shy about? We're just practicing scenes normally; I won't eat you."

As expected of her~

Honestly, Bai Liang didn't see a hint of "that" meaning in Yang Mi's eyes, but she just happened to say things in a way that had that flavor.

At first glance, this sister looked like porcelain just out of the kiln, fired exquisitely and beautifully.

But looking closely, the indifference in the depths of her eyes was heavier than Sister Zhao's.

Next, the two really started to practice scenes with the script. Yang Mi was actually quite serious; she really wanted to weigh the quality of Bai Liang's work.

From the initial slight suspicion to later doubting life.

Looking at the wild little fresh meat actor sitting in front of her, seven or eight years younger than her, she couldn't understand.

She couldn't help but think, why, after acting for so many years and putting in so much effort, could someone "talented" suddenly pop up and leave her stunned in minutes.

If it were just the kind who subconsciously knew how to act, that would be fine; heaven rewards those who work hard, and it's not like she hadn't seen it before.

But Bai Liang could even tell you: why act like this, how to act like this, and how to achieve certain effects.

That was a bit terrifying!

He wasn't even professionally trained; where did he get so much knowledge stored up?

To this, Bai Liang's answer was: "Read more books; there is a golden house in books."

"Oh my, are you lecturing me, Teacher Xiao Bai~~~"

"Maybe it's because of my past experiences; I really did read about a golden house in a book."

Bai Liang told Yang Mi the story of him buying Han Han's limited edition book directly.

And indicated that this was the power of habit; ever since then, he had loved reading.

This was, of course, nonsense, but it was quite convincing.

Just like people always believe that an apple had to hit Newton on the head for him to be the great scientist people know, and Washington had to chop down that cherry tree to become president.

So Yang Mi believed it too; this was the power of "real cases."

The subsequent "Teacher Bai's Little Classroom" became even more natural and smooth.

But Yang Mi's body always seemed to have some subconscious little movements...

However, Bai Liang didn't care much; mainly, that bit of spare energy was all used to aim at those two big thunder-balls.

This point was really hard to resist, just like those eye-tracking challenges on the internet.

Almost every man, when facing a beauty, couldn't control his gaze.

Subconsciously, he would always take a look.

Bai Liang was still quite polite; he only took one look.

If his peripheral vision didn't move away, it naturally only counted as one look.

Sister Zhao, you lost miserably~ When he was with her, Bai Liang's mentality was very calm.

The most "evil" thought was just to rub her round face.

And now, what he wanted to rub was a bit against public order and good customs; this was someone else's wife.

Not allowed~

After this, the number of times Yang Mi asked Bai Liang to practice scenes clearly increased a lot.

However, the strangeness of this sister's reputation was right here.

Many female artists were rumored to be "delivering takeout," belonging to the side that was being sexually harassed.

But when it came to Yang Mi, she was actually "rumored to order takeout," belonging to the side that sexually harassed others.

Sister Mi is worthy of being Sister Mi! A natural big heroine on another level.

As for Bai Liang, he was "miserable," because in the stories about Yang Mi, he was that takeout...

Hearing this strange rumor from Zhu Xudan for the first time, Bai Liang almost sprayed the fruit he was eating all over Dilireba's face.

Fortunately, he held it back, almost letting that little glutton off easy~

She had said several times that she would never eat it again.

"Ah?"

"It's true! I heard someone say that." Zhu Xudan held up three fingers to swear, very serious and very convincing.

Who could not believe an honest little rabbit?

Dilireba couldn't hold it together at this moment, but she clearly didn't have as relaxed a mentality as Bai Liang, and said indignantly: "These people are really too boring, talking nonsense."

"Right, right." Zhu Xudan echoed.

"Da Bai~ don't go to Sister Mi's trailer anymore." Dilireba took the opportunity to make a request.

"That's fine too~"

Bai Liang naturally wouldn't disagree, and then his trailer had another frequent visitor.

Yang Mi: I'm just coming over~

Her operation almost made people suspect that the rumor was released by her looking for someone herself...

Fortunately, there were many people in Bai Liang's trailer, which could dispel the previous rumors from the side.

Then a new rumor came: Bai Liang took them all in one pot~

Damn, this guy who started the rumor is really a talent!
