Chapter 213: Black-Red is Still Red, Let

Sui Lingfang's communication with Xibei was very smooth.

She knew that as a jewelry company, it was impossible to give up the demand for high-quality pearls.

Only with more expensive raw materials could the jewelry they processed sell for a high price.

However, those who could afford to run a jewelry brand wouldn't have a single variety of jewelry.

In addition to processing pearls, gemstones, and diamonds, Xibei also processed gold and silver products, seeking multi-element combinations.

Sui Lingfang had vaguely heard that Donghai and Xibei weren't purely jewelry-selling brands; they invested hundreds of millions in research and development every year for artificial diamonds, artificially cultivated pearls, and so on.

As long as the jewelry developed reached the quality of those found in nature, these jewelry giants would definitely join forces to push up the price of jewelry further.

Yes, price increases.

Artificially cultivated ones are definitely cheap, targeting the low-end market to expand market reach.

But diamonds and jewelry collected from nature would continue to rise in price to highlight their rarity.

Sui Lingfang saw the development prospects of the jewelry industry, which is why she intended to let Seeing Jin Li build a good relationship with Xibei.

Even if she couldn't become the spokesperson now, there might be a chance in the future!

In fact, Sui Lingfang still underestimated the temptation of Melo pearls to Xibei.

After Du Lemin confirmed that the Melo pearls were real, he couldn't wait for Sui Lingfang to send them over and planned to go to Chenxi Entertainment himself.

Sui Lingfang laughed and said: "Manager Du, how could I be so embarrassed? Let me come to you instead."

Du Lemin joked: "Melo pearls are too precious. The company really doesn't have many in stock; we've only processed them for wealthy merchants.

If you bring Melo pearls to the company and others find out, do you believe you won't be able to walk out of Xibei's door?"

Sui Lingfang's eyes turned, and she heard Du Lemin's underlying meaning, saying readily: "Okay, I'll return to Chenxi Entertainment tomorrow. See you tomorrow."

After hanging up, Seeing Jin Li asked curiously: "That manager is coming to Chenxi Entertainment himself? Isn't that too much of a show?"

Sui Lingfang laughed: "Do you think he wants to come? It's because the internal competition in the company is too fierce, so he has to come himself.

Lest I go to their company and the Melo pearls get snatched away by people from other departments.

He is just a manager for external business cooperation and doesn't hold much real power in Xibei. If it were really snatched away by someone higher up, he could only hand it over."

Seeing Jin Li suddenly understood; no wonder this manager was so proactive and had no airs.

But this also proved one thing from the side: the Melo pearls in her hand were truly rare.

Sui Lingfang urged her: "Keep these three pearls; don't sell them.

Now that marine resources are continuously depleting, the value of such rare pearls will continue to appreciate in the future. One or two million is far from their end point."

Seeing Jin Li gave Sui Lingfang an OK sign.

She understood this kind of thing.

In the afternoon, Seeing Jin Li continued filming, and Sui Lingfang took time to go to the Mazu temple. After returning, she couldn't wait to go foraging for seafood.

The sky was getting dark, and visibility was getting lower, but it couldn't stop Sister Fang's enthusiasm for foraging.

After Seeing Jin Li finished filming, she also joined the foraging team.

This time she didn't pick up any sea snails, but she picked up a dozen sea shrimp, which were red and very beautiful.

Chen Qin searched and said that these were specifically supplied to Japanese restaurants for sashimi and could be sliced and eaten directly.

Seeing Jin Li didn't dare to eat them raw and boiled them all, but the taste was equally good.

As for Sui Lingfang, she picked up some large white octopuses, swimming crabs, and some sea snails. She didn't pick up many, just bits and pieces.

But Sui Lingfang was satisfied; she would add them to her late-night snack tonight!

The next day, Sui Lingfang returned to Chenxi Entertainment early in the morning, while Seeing Jin Li got up earlier than her and had already gone to the set to film.

Recent scenes were all morning scenes.

Director Deng Zexu didn't like using special effects. Although he was a new director who had just entered the industry, he had picked up some of the temperaments of old directors and was somewhat repelled by special effects, always feeling they were fake.

In order to find suitable natural lighting, the actors had to get up early with him.

"Sister Seeing Jin Li, wipe your sweat. Your forehead is full of sweat. Your performance in the scene just now was very tense."

Another scene ended, and Chen Qin hurriedly handed Seeing Jin Li a towel.

Seeing Jin Li wiped carefully in front of the mirror, afraid of wiping off her makeup.

The makeup the artist had applied was light to begin with, and after being soaked in sweat once, it became even paler.

Touching up makeup every time was troublesome.

After wiping, Seeing Jin Li asked: "Has Sister Fang left already?"

Chen Qin: "She left an hour ago. She knew you were filming, so she didn't come to the set, afraid of affecting your state. She told me on the phone and left."

She didn't know what she thought of, and added: "By the way, Sister Fang also mentioned something to me, saying that Maozhao has been discussing your proposal recently, and there might be some results soon.

She told you to keep an eye on your phone at all times and to be careful with your words, don't just give away benefits."

Seeing Jin Li laughed: "I know."

She turned her head and saw Ren Zhangtao wandering around the set, feeling strange in her heart.

Ren Zhangtao's scenes had long been finished, but for some reason, he hadn't left the set, saying he wanted to stay and help the director.

But when Deng Zexu was filming, he was impatient with people staying by his side, so Ren Zhangtao just watched from the side.

After a long time, he didn't go near the director, which made him look a bit like an unemployed vagrant.

Seeing Jin Li shook her head.

Forget it, the director didn't say anything, why should she worry?

It's just that she felt that filming hard every day while someone was watching from the side enjoying themselves felt a bit unbalanced.

For a moment, she missed Xi Sister Meng Ze.

"So why does the heroine always feel she can become a savior every time she travels to another world?"

Yan Xingdong was resting this morning, but Gu Cheng had to go to reshoot *Star Sports Meeting*, so he followed along.

The other two saw him go, so they followed, and the entire Sanyuetian group came to *Star Sports Meeting* again.

But this time, only Gu Cheng needed to record, and the other three acted as spectators.

Yan Xingdong, bored in the auditorium, sent a message to Xi Sister Meng Ze to discuss the problem they hadn't finished discussing last night.

Xi Sister Meng Ze...

Xi Sister Meng Ze didn't know why those comics had to draw the heroine as a savior.

She guessed: "Perhaps because by doing so, there are many plot lines that can be written?"

Yan Xingdong said honestly: "But I think people's IQ is the same. Just because you didn't live a successful life in your previous life doesn't mean you can live a good life in this one.

How can someone be honest and cowardly in their previous life and then be strong and ruthless in this one?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze agreed with Yan Xingdong's view, but she had another point of view.

"People's personalities will change after great joy and sorrow. I think it's not impossible to change one's personality after experiencing death."

Yan Xingdong: "Then why must the heroine follow the plot line written in the book after traveling to another world? Can't she change the plot?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze hummed softly and laughed triumphantly: "I know this. If the plot line is changed, what advantages are left? The unknown is the greatest fear."

Yan Xingdong nodded; he understood when put that way.

He continued to discuss with Xi Sister Meng Ze, while Chen Lin on the side looked at his phone boredly. Sister Pearl was busy and didn't have time to chat with him.

He glanced at Luo Yi next to him, who was slowly drinking tea with a thermos cup again.

Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh.

His miserable and boring life!

He also had to endure Yan Xingdong's magic sound... Chen Lin couldn't understand it. Asking a shoujo manga to explain why the heroine is loved by everyone is like asking a shonen manga to explain why the hero can show off his power and upgrade at every critical moment, right?

Is this something that can be explained?

This is clearly not the same thing!

Suddenly, a reminder came over the broadcast, calling out Gu Cheng's name.

Chen Lin's spirits lifted, and he immediately patted Luo Yi and Yan Xingdong: "Don't be dazed, stop chatting. It's Gu Cheng's competition; he's going on stage!"

The other two finally looked toward the swimming pool.

Luo Yi: "I didn't expect the program team to accept Guangge's lion's opening bid and let Gu Cheng participate in swimming. The other stars who have already filmed have to accompany him and film it again."

Yan Xingdong: "Who told Gu Cheng to have such good athletic nerves? Swimming is also his specialty. You should be glad the program team doesn't know Gu Cheng is also very good at tennis, otherwise—"

He didn't continue.

*Star Sports Meeting* looks like it lets stars participate in various sports and then decides the winner, but in fact, not all sports are available.

For example, sports like tennis and football are not available. Tennis courts and football fields have high requirements for venues, and the promotion process is cumbersome.

The program team would rather change new filming guests every season than let those guests participate in a sport that takes three or four seasons to film.

This is also the shrewdness of the program team.

But if they encounter stars with very strong camera sense, performance sense, and strength, the program team is not unable to make concessions.

If the program team knew Gu Cheng was also good at tennis, they would probably have to tie Gu Cheng up for another two or three seasons.

They didn't have an opinion on Gu Cheng participating in the announcement, but everyone's joint schedule was not easy to arrange.

Take today, for example. This is their first day off this month. In order not to affect the team's schedule, Gu Cheng could only contribute his day off.

Chen Lin suddenly asked: "But why did Gu Cheng agree to the program team's request? Last time he was willing to reshoot the shooting rifle project from beginning to end, I was a little curious.

Gu Cheng doesn't like trouble. If it were before, he would definitely have refused. This time too, swimming was not the project he signed up for; it was the program team that asked him to go on."

Although money was given, if Gu Cheng didn't want to, money would be useless.

Regarding this point, Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi were also very curious about what Gu Cheng was thinking.

On the other side.

Li Xunfang, who was also recording in a nearby venue, had a very foul expression.

Lian Baozhi was staring at her too closely!

Today is the third day of filming *Run with All Your Might*. Logically speaking, it is also the last day of filming, but because Lian Baozhi deliberately dragged her feet, I'm afraid they will have to film for another day tomorrow.

Li Xunfang hadn't been in a good mood since Lian Baozhi snatched her camera time.

Another round of filming, Lian Baozhi followed Li Xunfang to look for clues together.

People were coming and going on the overpass, and they looked back and forth, but they just couldn't find them.

Lian Baozhi only looked twice before she couldn't walk anymore and sat on a lounge chair to rest, while Li Xunfang kept looking.

After she looked back and forth eight times, Lian Baozhi stood up, walked slowly to the trash can to throw away a tissue, and suddenly said in surprise:

"Xunfang, isn't this the clue we are looking for? It's actually hidden in the trash can!"

Li Xunfang hurriedly walked over. She really hadn't looked in the trash can; she thought it was dirty.

Lian Baozhi didn't move, and Li Xunfang didn't want to reach out to take it. The scene was a bit stiff for a while, and the recording couldn't continue.

The director was furious and shouted directly with a megaphone: "Reach out and take it! This trash can is clean; there is nothing inside."

Li Xunfang had a dark face; inside was the tissue Lian Baozhi had just thrown in!

That tissue was on top of the data card, and she didn't want to touch it at all.

She looked at Lian Baozhi and asked in a low voice: "Are you doing this on purpose? You knew the clue was in the trash can, but you just let me run around, and then threw a tissue in."

Lian Baozhi had a smile on her face and spoke delicately: "No, I just discovered it occasionally. I didn't see it before. Don't think of me like that. I don't want to spend so much time either."

Li Xunfang took a deep breath.

Why didn't she feel that green tea was so hateful before?

Maybe it was because she was the one being green before.

Li Xunfang warned her: "Lian Baozhi, your time is not valuable, but mine is. I have other announcements to attend tomorrow, and I don't have time to waste with you. Do you believe I can get the program team to kick you out!"

Lian Baozhi's eyes flashed, holding a small green umbrella in her hand and spinning it slowly, saying unhurriedly:

"Sure, if you can't stand me, just get the program team to kick me out. I don't care. I'd like to know whether the program team wants you or me."

Li Xunfang had a gloomy face and didn't speak.

She knew this wasn't realistic.

Ever since Lian Baozhi dressed boldly on the show, the program team wouldn't let her go and would focus on editing her.

Lian Baozhi smiled lightly, buried her face in the shadow brought by the umbrella, and said in a low voice:

"Li Xunfang, you were the one who provoked me first. Let's just torture each other like this. I'm not afraid of your fans. Black-red is still red. If you have the ability, scold me onto the hot search. I'm just worried about not having exposure!"

Li Xunfang's chest heaved up and down. From the beginning, she shouldn't have recommended Lian Baozhi to this show.

Everything was wrong!

At noon, Seeing Jin Li received a call from Zhong Wenkun.

It was about the thing she mentioned before.

Zhong Wenkun said hesitantly: "The company tends to try to make learning lecture videos, but we are a live streaming platform after all, and we still hope to have some live streaming attributes."

Seeing Jin Li said: "Then live stream the recording. After the live stream ends, it can also be edited into a video and placed on the platform."

She asked back: "Manager Zhong, do you want to acquire a batch of ready-made learning videos?"

Zhong Wenkun's face turned red when his thoughts were guessed by Seeing Jin Li.

Ready-made is good; ready-made investment is not as big as live recording. ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
