"Xu Zishan?"

Shen Ci pondered this name, seeming to have some impression; it was the girl who had snatched her sister's role at the beginning.

Xiao Yun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, everyone on set could see she did it on purpose, but there's no way to say it clearly, and she simply wouldn't admit it."

The matter had passed for several days, but Xiao Yun still couldn't help but feel indignant for Ah Li when mentioning it now.

Shen Ci's expression was calm, showing neither joy nor anger, and she only asked: "Anything else?"

Xiao Yun thought for a moment and shook her head: "No."

A Pan then said: "Today, the publicity group released Ah Li's stills. Ah Li can be considered to have emerged suddenly. With Ah Li's current popularity, that Xu Zishan shouldn't dare to easily cause trouble for her again."

Xiao Yun also nodded: "That's right. If Ah Li can choose to sign with 'Jin Xiao,' then no one on their own set would dare to bully her even more."

Shen Ci looked at Xiao Yun and smiled upon hearing this: "You hope she signs with 'Jin Xiao'?"

Xiao Yun stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said bluntly: "That's for sure. Actually, following Sister Kuan is really good. She has extensive connections and a high status in the circle, which can let Ah Li avoid many detours."

What Xiao Yun said was not false, because at this moment, Sister Kuan had just appeared on set, and people were already coming up to greet her one after another.

"Sister Kuan, why are you here!"

Ren Jia saw that the people surrounding Sister Kuan had just dispersed, spotted the opportunity, and enthusiastically went up to meet her. Because they were in the same company, Ren Jia had always wanted the company to transfer her under Sister Kuan, because she knew that following Sister Kuan, resources would definitely become better.

"Jiajia, this look is pretty," Sister Kuan glanced at Ren Jia's makeup and styling for the day and praised her.

Ren Jia gave a sweet smile, affectionately took Sister Kuan's arm, and asked: "Sister Kuan, there's no one from your team in this crew. Why are you here?"

"I took a fancy to a newcomer, so I came over to see her and see if I can sign her," Sister Kuan said bluntly.

Ren Jia was slightly stunned, her smile freezing on her face.

Her eyeballs rolled around as she tentatively asked: "Signing a newcomer requires you to come in person? You wouldn't be managing her yourself, would you?"

You have to know that newcomers in the company are generally assigned to artist coordinators, and the coordinators unify them under one manager; that is to say, when they first enter the industry, several newcomers share one manager.

Ace managers like Sister Kuan only take over newcomers after they have achieved particularly brilliant results. Even Ji Chuhe only came under Sister Kuan's name after a year and a half in the industry.

"Why? Can't I manage a newcomer?" Sister Kuan asked with a playful smile.

Ren Jia shook her head hurriedly: "That's not what I meant."

As she said this, she began to act spoiled: "Sister Kuan, then you manage me too. You talk to Lu Zong and transfer me under your wing. I want to follow you and learn more skills!"

"You still need to learn more skills?" Sister Kuan looked at her and said: "You've already won two mainstream supporting actress awards, and your traffic is quite good. That's already a very good achievement. There really isn't much I can help you with."

"I'm still far from it." Ren Jia refused to give up and said with a wronged face: "You said that when I was in the crew, you were the one who picked me. I signed with 'Jin Xiao' because of you. I thought that after I achieved some results in the circle, I could follow you, but later they transferred me under Brother Bo. You know what kind of person he is; when talking about business, he always likes to talk at the dinner table, dragging me out to socialize every day. It's annoying to death."

"Don't let Brother Bo hear you say that." Sister Kuan's smile faded as she heard Ren Jia say this: "Brother Bo has worried a lot for you all. He even drank until he had a stomach hemorrhage two months ago. Do you really think he loves to drink? Isn't it because things are easier to accomplish at the dinner table that he chooses to do so?"

Speaking of this, Sister Kuan couldn't help but sigh and said earnestly to Ren Jia: "You, as long as you are steady and down-to-earth, you will surely have your glory in the future. You say you always want to come to me, but I have Chuhe under me. You are still far from surpassing her achievements, and coming to me would only mean being suppressed by her. Isn't it good to just be the top sister under Brother Bo? The good resources in his hands will definitely be prioritized for you. You should be content."

After hearing Sister Kuan's words, Ren Jia pouted somewhat unwillingly: "You'd rather manage a newcomer than manage me."

Speaking of newcomers, Ren Jia couldn't help but glance at Sister Kuan and tentatively ask: "You want to sign Shen Li?"

Sister Kuan nodded.

Ren Jia's face darkened immediately. She knew that this Shen Li would inevitably emerge one day. At the time of the press conference, she had intentionally cut off her opportunity to show her face, but she hadn't expected that she would still become popular.

Now, even Sister Kuan didn't hesitate to run to the set in person to sign her.

Ren Jia was not at peace in her heart, but her face was full of smiles: "The little girl is quite good; everyone likes her."

On the shooting set, they were shooting the first set of shots for Shen Li and Song Anyu. This was also the first time the two had acted in a scene together after many days of filming.

Shen Ci and Lu Jinzhao were both watching quietly on the periphery of the set. Xu Zishan's father was also present.

Under the lens, both Shen Li and Song Anyu's looks were very resilient. Just a look from afar pulled the CP feeling to the max. The director behind the small screen grinned to his ears; it seemed that every time he filmed Shen Li, he had this expression.

It was also Shen Ci's first time watching her sister act on set. She had always known her sister had talent, but she hadn't expected her to be so good at acting. As long as the lens was aimed at her, she could quickly enter the role.

"Lu Zong."

At this moment, Xu's father suddenly came to Lu Jinzhao's side and patted him while lowering his voice.

Lu Jinzhao cast a questioning look. Because the shooting set couldn't have loud noises, Xu's father could only give him a look to go talk further away.

Shen Ci noticed their interaction from the side but didn't pay much attention, only watching the two walk far away one after another and turn into a corner.

"Xu Zong, what's the matter?" Lu Jinzhao asked.

Xu's father's face didn't look good because he had just watched his daughter act, and seeing her either serving tea and water or kowtowing and kneeling, he felt very uncomfortable.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he still said to Lu Jinzhao: "Lu Zong, I hope you can change my daughter's role. I don't want to watch her play a 'maid'."

Lu Jinzhao was stunned upon hearing this: "Xu Zong, don't joke. It's been several days since filming started. How could we change roles temporarily? Everything filmed before would have to be redone! Moreover, when you invested, you specifically asked for this role. Filming is not child's play; how can you say change roles and just change them?"

"I know, but I didn't understand this role before; I just agreed after listening to my daughter. But now I really can't accept it. If you think five hundred can only buy a maid's role, then I can add more investment."

Lu Jinzhao shook his head helplessly: "I really can't promise you this. Not to mention that the crew doesn't lack investment at the moment, even if it really did, I wouldn't agree to such an unreasonable request from you."
