The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 10

Ji Zhanhan thought for a few seconds: “Send a message to Fu Youzheng and tell her that all of Zhuo Xi’s scenes during her rest period will be completed by a stand-in.”

“Okay.” The assistant looked at Ji Zhanhan and felt deeply that their CEO was not afraid of watching the drama unfold. “CEO, if Zhuo Xi is exposed to a scandal, it will be a major blow to the TV series.”

“Fu Youzheng isn’t unaware. I just said she would find a suitable time.”

“Oh.”

Ji Mingxiao raised her eyebrows when she received the message from Ji Zhanhan’s assistant, then contacted her people in the crew to film some videos of the stand-ins performing. These messages could be leaked in advance, but they couldn’t be solid evidence, only suspicions. This could also promote the TV series. The solid evidence could be released later.

An hour later, Ji Mingxiao returned with milk tea and some desserts. After knowing what the bed was used for, she naturally wouldn’t sit on it again. To be honest, she didn’t even want to touch the sofa.

She had previously thought Zhuo Xi would go after Ji Zhanyue, but she didn’t expect it to be only Yuan Qian.

Although Yuan Qian’s family background was good, the gap with the Ji family was still huge. Ji Mingxiao glanced at Zhuo Xi, thinking, is she afraid that sleeping with Ji Zhanhan’s brother would ruin her chance to sleep with Ji Zhanhan?

The two of them watched movies all day, with very little communication in between.

Ji Mingxiao left at six in the afternoon. Perhaps fearing that she would stay, Zhuo Xi didn’t even pretend to ask her to stay.

She noticed Zhuo Xi smiled when she left.

“I think Zhuo Xi must have other fish on her line.” One Yuan Qian wouldn’t make her show such a smile, Ji Mingxiao curled her lips. “I thought she was just a regular player, but I never expected she was a true player.”

She didn’t go back to the hotel but went to the film set instead.

Since she hadn’t notified them in advance and was alone, the staff, who didn’t recognize her, blocked her at the entrance.

“Sorry, you can’t enter without a work pass.”

Ji Mingxiao was a little helpless. She saw Xi Ruan, who was holding a cup and wearing a costume, about to come out and raised her eyebrows: “Xi Ruan, take me in.”

“CEO Fu?” Xi Ruan looked at the staff and then at Ji Mingxiao, feeling that things were getting even more bizarre. “Brother Wang, this is the CEO of Guangyu.”

Ji Mingxiao followed Xi Ruan inside. Xi Ruan was very quiet. She looked at the back of Xi Ruan’s head: “Are you tired?”

“Not really.”

“Your legs look a bit weak, and you’re not tired?” Ji Mingxiao said slowly.

Xi Ruan deliberately walked slower, hoping Ji Mingxiao would pass her, but she found that when she was slow, the CEO was slow, and when she was fast, she was fast.

She could guess that this person should be a mission-taker, but she couldn’t find any mission-taker in her memory who had so much interest in her.

Most importantly, why wasn’t this person following the character’s personality?

Xi Ruan’s face darkened slightly. She was supposed to go offline in a while, but if she got too involved with the main world mission, she might have to “work overtime.”

Ji Mingxiao noticed that Xi Ruan’s eyes showed a hint of dislike.

“Not really.”

“How much do you make a day?”

Xi Ruan stopped in her tracks and turned back to glare at Ji Mingxiao fiercely.

Ji Mingxiao smiled: “Young lady, your thoughts are a bit scary. I was asking how much you make as a stand-in per day.”

“Eight hundred a day.” Xi Ruan finished speaking and found that they were approaching a crowded area, so she lowered her voice, “Don’t talk to me casually.”

“Are you afraid Zhuo Xi will bully you?”

Xi Ruan gave Ji Mingxiao a look and then left.

Ji Mingxiao’s original intention was to watch Xi Ruan act, but who knew that her scenes had just finished.

It was just in time for Sheng Xin’s scene. The other party also saw Ji Mingxiao, and the two looked at each other and nodded as a greeting.

Sheng Xin’s acting wasn’t very good, on par with Zhuo Xi’s, and she didn’t quite portray the feel of the second female lead.

Ji Mingxiao: I suddenly want to withdraw my investment.

After the director called cut three times, Sheng Xin blew up.

“What exactly am I doing wrong?” Sheng Xin was a little annoyed.

Ji Mingxiao curled her lips: That temper…

The director also had works and a reputation over the years, so he wasn’t afraid of this young miss: “The feeling is wrong. She’s not an arrogant young lady. She has a scholarly feel and is a calm person. Her emotions aren’t so .”

Sheng Xin took a deep breath.

“She really doesn’t look like the second female lead.” Ji Mingxiao glanced at Sheng Xin.

Sheng Xin: !!!

“The second female lead is a very likable character. The way you’re acting makes her look like a fool, not the brains of the group.”

“Fu Youzheng!” Sheng Xin’s eyes widened.

“I’m seven years older than you, don’t be so disrespectful.” Ji Mingxiao said leisurely, “I invested two hundred million in this show, and I don’t want to lose money, Miss Sheng. If you’re not willing to act properly, go back and have your dad produce a self-made drama for you, and you can act however you want.”

Sheng Xin glared at Ji Mingxiao, somewhat angry.

“What do you know about acting?”

Ji Mingxiao smiled: “I think I know a little more than you, because from your performance just now, you don’t understand this character at all. Do you want to act or not? If you want to do something, work hard to do it well. So many people are here waiting with you. Don’t throw a tantrum. Director Sun, let’s continue.”

Although Sheng Xin was still unhappy, she finally shut up.

It took fourteen takes to get through that scene.

In the evening, Ji Mingxiao ordered takeout and had it delivered to the crew to appease everyone’s mood.

She stayed until the crew finished work, which was around eleven o’clock, before she left.

Sheng Xin glared at Ji Mingxiao several times, angry but not daring to speak.

Ji Mingxiao just found it a little funny. Her hotel was not on the same route as everyone else, and it wasn’t far, so she didn’t bother to take a taxi and walked back to her hotel.

Although it was late, the area was still lively. Ji Mingxiao wasn’t sleepy and wanted to wander around a bit more, but she thought of the piled-up documents and went back to the hotel.

“System, did you submit the suggestion for the one-click completion of work that I asked for last time?”

System A: “I did. The main system said that this is an immersive experience and cannot be completed with one click.”

Ji Mingxiao: ???

Ji Mingxiao: What kind of reason is that?

“Can I delegate authority?”

“You can.”

“Never mind.” She still liked the feeling of having everything under her control.

Ji Mingxiao now had the feeling of a student furiously catching up on homework on the last day of a holiday.

The next morning, she went to the film set again.

She prepared breakfast for the crew, and Xi Ruan’s portion was prepared according to her taste, a bowl of small wontons.

Ji Mingxiao still remembered that they used to sneak out to eat small wontons at a street stall together when they were young.

She kept an eye on Xi Ruan’s expression, but the other person didn’t show any special expression.

She really didn’t remember her.

Ji Mingxiao woke up early and went to four different breakfast places. This small wonton tasted the most similar to the one they ate when they were kids.

She went to sit next to the director.

Sheng Xin got a headache when she saw her and got an even bigger headache when she noticed that Ji Mingxiao seemed to be in a bad mood.

When it was Xi Ruan’s turn to go on stage, Ji Mingxiao frowned: “Isn’t this Zhuo Xi’s scene? She’s not here, so all her scenes are being filmed by a stand-in?”

Sheng Xin’s eyes lit up, and she looked over at Ji Mingxiao excitedly.

It’s finally Zhuo Xi’s turn to be unlucky.

She had been annoyed with that woman for a long time.

“Were all her scenes filmed by her yesterday too?” Ji Mingxiao glanced at Xi Ruan.

Xi Ruan looked at Ji Mingxiao, not knowing what she wanted to do.

“Yes.”

“Did Zhuo Xi suggest this?” Ji Mingxiao asked with a frown.
