On the way back to the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Shi’s face was flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally understood why Xu Jiayang and Leng Yan had such expressions when they heard that Xia Weibao was endorsing “Honor of Kings”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with you, you play the game so badly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Shi felt embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just tried playing a couple of rounds, and even she played better than Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao scratched her head, looking innocent, “I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you good at everything else, singing, dancing, fighting, acting, all excellent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a smart person, yet so terrible at games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s cheeks turned slightly red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, as someone from ancient times, of course, she would know ancient things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no games in ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let a modern person try archery and see if they can hit the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was normal for her not to be good at video games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Shi waved it off, “Forget it, this segment is done shooting. Tomorrow we’ll shoot some small stories, your specialties. After that’s done, we can go back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect endorsement work to be so relaxing, much better than filming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When filming, she had to go to the set almost every day, and the pay wasn’t even that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endorsements were different, finished in two days, and the compensation wasn’t bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, otherwise why would so many stars be scrambling to endorse products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ‘Honor of Kings’ endorsement is just temporary. Your goal is to be the global ambassador for international brands. That’s where the real money is. Don’t rush it now; take it slow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao nodded, indicating she understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Shi had planned to take her out to dinner before returning to the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Weibao thought about Lu Hualiang still being at the hotel alone. He might be bored, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she declined and decided to go back and have dinner with her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xia Shi had friends around, and she didn’t have time to accompany her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she returned to the room, she saw Lu Hualiang sitting on the sofa, with three laptops in front of him, typing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t only using three computers at once but also in a video meeting and on the phone simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was busy with a stern expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the door open, he looked up and saw Xia Weibao coming in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the video meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then he waved at her, “Finished?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao sat next to him, glanced at the computers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them displayed data she couldn’t understand, but she could tell he was busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you say you weren’t busy today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just handling some last-minute matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao didn’t believe him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was really last-minute, why would he bring three laptops with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running such a large corporation, he was always busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li said that he used to have no holidays, working every day of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he stayed in the office until ten o’clock at night, arriving as early as six in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the time they had just gotten married, he was also very busy, spending all his days at the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after he had turned ‘simple-minded’ that his working hours became normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang pursed his lips, “These are just emails, I can handle them anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Lu, you can go back first. You don’t need to stay here for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew, he stayed because of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang gazed at her with deep eyes and suddenly asked, “Will you still come home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, when she heard this question, Xia Weibao felt a twinge in her nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will you still come home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How insecure he must feel to ask that question with such uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How afraid must he be of her leaving, to chase her all the way to City T and watch over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a man who once stood tall and struck terror into the hearts of many.\u003C\u002Fp>",701,"2026-06-06T16:22:08.371Z",1,"novelbin.me","3a2a4f25aebc0bff6d8987856297f5245a4eec0a9bb03867b1dab44606c20370","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-515","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-513",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
