Chapter 570: Still Laughing? Here to Collect!

The betting pool, of course, was nonsense.

Bai Liang dared to open it, but they didn't dare place bets.

After all, placing a bet would mean picking a side, and what if they offended one of the directors?

They were all "immortals," and these little actresses really couldn't afford to offend any of them. If you had to say, every one on this side had more weight than Guo Xiaosi, in fact much more! Because they all had impressive works backing them up.

Bai Liang's bit of mischief here was like using a cannon to swat a mosquito—the directors were the cannons, and the participating actresses were roughly mosquito-level.

They could only shiver in fear.

Of course, there was one exception!

Meng Jie.

Originally it had nothing to do with her; cracking sunflower seeds with Bai Liang and watching the show would have been enough.

But maybe the sound of Bai Liang cracking seeds was a bit too loud, and it caught the attention of that guy Wu Jing.

Unable to beat Bai Liang, this guy shifted his attention to Meng Jie.

Obviously, this thick-browed, big-eyed fellow was cunning too~

"Meng Jie, you all are participating too, so you have a say in the choice of subject matter. Why not come chat?"

Meng Jie:.

Honestly, in the past when people called her Meng Jie, she was quite happy about it. Even when Chen Daoming had shouted it out that time, she hadn't felt it was that big a deal.

Because she knew it was just a joke, nobody took it too seriously, and her friends and besties all teased her privately, saying she had a lot of face.

Later in the industry, even when others called her that, they generally had smiles on their faces, and the joking tone was very obvious.

But now, she was a little scared.

Chen Kaige, Er Dongsheng, Wu Jing... these people also calling her Meng Jie?

These people themselves might still be joking, but other people's thoughts had already taken a wrong turn.

Just now, among the actresses participating in this show with her, someone really did respectfully call out "Meng Jie."

Not the joking kind! The tone really carried that politeness and "respect" of greeting a senior, with a properly humble posture!

Meng Jie was very familiar with that tone, because that's how she greeted her seniors. After all, unlike Bai Liang whose status skyrocketed after debut, she'd basically had to bow and greet everyone she met to get where she was now.

But when she herself started enjoying this kind of treatment—unless she was truly thick-skinned, or a bit clueless, and really thought she was awesome—most of her feelings were of course panic.

She was scared!

Not that she was afraid of not making friends in the future, or that future friends would call her "Master" like Run Tu. Rather, Meng Jie clearly knew she didn't deserve it.

As the saying goes, when virtue doesn't match one's position, disaster follows. This kind of seniority artificially inflated is certainly fun when it's a joke, but when people actually take it seriously, it gets a bit scary.

But how to solve that was a matter for later. Right now, the main problem in front of Meng Jie was that they wanted her to come up with ideas!

And at this moment, Bai Liang actually added fuel to the fire: "Meng Jie, you urge them along too, hurry it up."

Hearing this, Meng Jie's head got hot and she turned and said coquettishly: "What am I, urging them on..."

"Pfft!"

At these words, everyone had a bit of trouble holding it in.

Even the originator Wu Jing felt a bit embarrassed. "You don't need to put yourself down like that, you're quite important."

"Really?" Meng Jie asked instinctively.

"Really!"

Could Wu Jing not understand this guy Bai Liang?

When filming "Wolf Warrior 2," this bastard had been dating Nazha on set—shooting guns, tossing grenades, and when bored, watching Dahe the hippo bare its teeth.

This trip ostensibly needed the directors' help, but in reality it was all for the seemingly trembling Meng Jie before them.

The current "directors' supergroup" could even be said to have collectively come to back Meng Jie up.

So she really was quite important.

In a sense, if Meng Jie really opened her mouth and specified a subject, everyone might actually stop "arguing."

But Meng Jie herself clearly had no such awareness—she was scared to death!

It gave the feeling of a cute newbie stumbling into a big-shot group chat, shivering and not daring to speak. But this was an illusion.

Brain: Don't dare speak.

Mouth: Let me say a couple things first.

Gotta say, you've gotta hand it to Meng Jie.

She had self-awareness, and knew her own weight, but her thought process was a bit unusual, plus she had a certain钝感力 (鈍感力/thick-skinned钝感)...

Three minutes later, when Wang Churan saw Meng Jie really join the "high-level meeting," her mouth couldn't help but fall open.

Huh?

Girl, you really dare?!

Although the Meng Jie who joined the "meeting" at this moment looked like a clear-eyed, silly cute college student, seemingly dopey, she seemed to be listening quite attentively to the "meeting content."

Scared on one hand, earnestly participating on the other—this baffling move had already left Wang Churan stumped.

Really wanted to find a zombie on the spot, open up Meng Jie's head and see what exactly was inside~

At this moment, Wang Churan sneakily glanced at Bai Liang again, wanting to read his expression for any clues.

But it turned out Bai Liang was watching the show with a smile, seeming even more into cracking his sunflower seeds.

He didn't seem to think Meng Jie was being too brash at all.

Sour.

He spoils her way too much!

Wang Churan bit her lip and did a bit of brainstorming.

Then she chose to help Bai Liang shell sunflower seeds.

"Little Bai-ge, just eat, let me peel them for you~"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Bai Liang was slightly taken aback.

Wang Churan, meanwhile, struck a pose of "awaiting judgment," out of moves, going for broke.

After all, she had already revealed her somewhat scheming side before, yet Little Bai-gege hadn't shown the slightest disgust or disdain or anything like that; on the contrary, he was quite… magnanimous.

Then she might as well keep going down this path.

Clever as she was, she knew that whether she was a fragrant little green tea or a dumbfounded beautiful fool, it all depended on whether the other person liked it.

But one thing to watch out for was never to flip-flop back and forth!

She was the considerate little sister who understood her brother, the thoughtful little green tea who wanted to please him!

As for Meng Jie's path, she couldn't learn it—one try and she'd "die"! And besides, she really didn't have that kind of talent.

Sure enough!

She had bet right.

Bai Liang only paused slightly at her behavior, then naturally began to enjoy it, without the slightest displeasure.

This reaction made Wang Churan's heart surge with wild joy, and she peeled the sunflower seeds with even more gusto!
