2399 Twins
But for some reason, Zhang Xi herself was not fated to be popular. She had always failed to garner interest and attraction on a wider scale.
Her acting skills were not bad, but it was almost like her skills had been programmed into her. That was why she chose to participate in this variety show this time.
“Hello.” Qiao Weiyang shook her hand.
After Zhang Xi finished speaking, she turned around and sat down. The people beside her immediately poured tea and took a small blanket for her. Her status was obvious.
It was no wonder that she had so much screen time despite it being the early stages of this variety show.
“I’m Zheng Lida.” A young man who looked quite energetic greeted Qiao Weiyang with a smile.
Qiao Weiyang knew that he was from Zhang Xi’s company, and his performance in the show was not bad.
“Ma Jianhua.” The person who spoke was also a famous supporting actress. In the early years, she was very famous. She retained her popularity among the older audience.
However, because she got pregnant with a child, she eventually faded out. Now that she had come back, her opportunities were limited, so she chose to compete with the young people here.
“Luo Lin.”
“Tian Ke.”
“Li Qizhi.”
Luo Lin was bright, handsome, and a little cutie. He had acted in many online dramas. Although they were all male leads, the investment in these dramas was very small. Although they were broadcasted quite well and even made money for the investors, they were only famous in niche circles. As Luo Lin himself was too opinionated, he didn’t have a lot of good resources now. He was a lone wolf.
Qiao Weiyang had a good impression of him.
Tian Ke was a lady who had also starred in an online drama.
Li Qizhi was relatively cold, but he looked very serious.
Qiao Weiyang had almost recognized everyone, but she still hadn’t seen Xinyue come over.
“Xinyue is late again, right?” Zhang Xi’s assistant said, “Why is she always late? She makes everyone wait for her.”
“Why? Is Xinyue often late?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
When the assistant heard her question, she immediately said, “Yes, I don’t know what she’s up to. She’s always like this.”
Qiao Weiyang frowned slightly. What problem did Xinyue encounter?
Then, the assistant immediately gave an answer, “We just asked her to buy coffee for us, but she hasn’t returned yet. Seriously!”
It turned out that she was instructed to run errands by someone.
If she was not here and it was someone else, would they think that Xinyue was really late because of private matters? Would that person have a very bad impression of Xinyue?
She glanced at the assistant. “Do you want me to personally get food for you when it’s lunchtime?”
The assistant did not expect Qiao Weiyang to say this and did not know what she meant.
The person-in-charge at the side immediately smiled and said, “Ms. Qiao, why would you say that? You’re our collaborator. How can we let you get food? There’ll naturally be specialized people to do these things.”
Qiao Weiyang said lightly, “Isn’t Xinyue an artiste? She’s also here to participate in the recording. Why did you let her buy coffee? I thought the production team was short of manpower to such a serious extent. Or is it because other artistes are desperately short of manpower?”
Actually, the person-in-charge had long known that Zhang Xi’s assistant was acting like a big shot and often ordered Xinyue around. She couldn’t wait to get her to do all sorts of errands.
However, Xinyue was a little sweetheart. She always smiled and went to do whatever others asked her to do. She did not complain about being tired at all. Since that was the case, the person-in-charge could not step out and be a bad person, telling her not to do it. Thus, the matter continued.
If Qiao Weiyang hadn’t asked, no one would have thought that there was anything wrong.
“That’s not necessary, Ms. Qiao. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. We didn’t arrange the jobs well,” the person-in-charge said immediately. “I’ll get someone to call Xinyue back now.”
Zhang Xi was sitting in her seat. When she heard Qiao Weiyang bragging as soon as she arrived, she looked at her unhappily.
Previously, she had always heard that Qiao Weiyang had a very good reputation in the industry. She never acted like a big shot, was easy to get along with, and was extremely serious about her work. Now, it seemed that she was just so-so.
It seemed that she was going to use her as an example to establish her prestige.
Zhang Xi immediately said, “Ms. Qiao, don’t be angry. My assistant was too busy and asked Xinyue to help. This won’t happen again. Lil Han, hurry up and apologize to Ms. Qiao.”
Her assistant, Ms. Han, immediately stood up to apologize.
“Don’t, don’t apologize to me. You didn’t do anything to let me down, and I can’t afford this apology. Apologize to whoever you owe it to,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly.
“Alright, I’ll apologize to Xinyue when she comes back.”
Lil Han said reluctantly. She was very relaxed during the recording this time. It was under Zhang Xi’s orders that she pushed all her tasks to Xinyue.
Xinyue was a fool. She was willing to do anything and didn’t know how to refuse. Lil Han was naturally too lazy to do anything herself.
As time passed, she had already made it a habit and did not feel that there was anything wrong with doing this.
Therefore, at this moment, she really hated Qiao Weiyang for being so nosy. She would not be able to order Xinyue around in the future.
Xinyue returned very quickly with several cups of coffee in her hands. She smiled energetically at everyone. “I’m back! Lil Han, this is the coffee you wanted!”
She brought the coffee over. Seeing that there was nothing she wanted, Lil Han was about to flare up. Xinyue said sweetly, “I’m sorry, the grapefruit latte was sold out. I didn’t find any other shops that had it, so I changed it to grapefruit milk tea. It’s also your favorite.”
This did not make Lil Han happy. Xinyue couldn’t even handle such a small matter! What a jinx!
Just as she was about to scold her, she remembered that Qiao Weiyang was still present. She immediately retracted her anger and said, “It’s fine. If they don’t have it, then forget it.”
Xinyue found it a little strange. Why was Lil Han so easy to talk to today?
If it was any other time, she would have already scolded her.
When the others saw this scene, they felt ashamed in their hearts. Qiao Weiyang was indeed something. When everyone saw Xinyue being bullied by Lil Han, it was not that they did not want to speak up for her.
However, everyone knew that Zhang Xi was a resource celebrity and that her family was rich. They let her gain whatever resources she wanted. No one wanted to offend her too much, so they did not dare to teach Lil Han a lesson openly.
Looking at the current situation, Lil Han shouldn’t make things difficult for Xinyue for the time being.
However, Qiao Weiyang must have already offended Zhang Xi because of this. Everyone could not help but sweat for Qiao Weiyang. She was indeed a movie queen and was currently very popular. However, no matter how popular she was, she could not compare to someone whose family had their own resources.
Qiao Weiyang might not be able to withstand any of Zhang Xi’s tricks.
