CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 26: BABE, YOU’RE TRENDING!

The manager looked exasperated.

"What house is collapsing?"

"She bought drinks and ice cream for everyone, and it trended online. Many staff members tweeted to thank her, and now the likes and comments are in the hundreds of thousands."

"The comment section is full of praise for Jiang Ruan, saying she’s beautiful and kind-hearted, a real good person."

Li Xin: "..."

Suddenly felt dejected.

She scoffed, "Isn’t it just some measly watermelon juice? You’d think the crew never had it before, making a big deal out of it with posts. Seriously lack of experience."

Manager: "..."

Looking at Li Xin, who acted like a spoiled rich girl.

A princess’s temper.

The manager felt the urge to resign.

Can’t handle, can’t handle.

Even though she’s a top agent in the industry, what can she do? She wanted to elevate Li Xin from bronze to King level.

But with Li Xin’s brain.

If she keeps it up, she’s going to be out of the game sooner or later.

The manager held her breath.

She saw Li Xin stand up, grab the watermelon juice, and start to leave.

Manager glared, "Where are you going?"

Li Xin stopped, turned around, and pouted, "To make friends with them."

"Isn’t that what you said would be good for me?"

Li Xin seemed to have had a bit of an epiphany these past couple of days.

Feihong was gone.

She wasn’t the big shot anymore.

Her dad and uncle got beaten up like that and were still in the hospital. The family had no money and even called her asking for money.

She gave all her money to them and didn’t have much left herself.

She’s a fallen Phoenix now.

If she continues to act willfully, she won’t even have a job to feed herself, and then she’d be really done for.

Watching Li Xin’s back, the manager blinked, still a bit unresponsive.

Wasn’t she just badmouthing the common folks?

And now she wants to make peace?

Got enlightened so quickly???

The manager sighed.

A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Over there, Bai Yi and Jiang Ruan were chatting with the director and a few others, having a great time, as Li Xin joined them.

With a sip of watermelon juice, Li Xin’s face was all smiles, enthusiastically saying, "Everyone’s here, huh, today’s really scorching!"

She even fanned herself with her hand.

Her face full of disdain and complaint.

"..."

Everyone suddenly went silent.

Exchanged glances, and then looked at Li Xin.

The atmosphere froze a bit.

Honestly, everyone present didn’t have a good impression of Li Xin. No acting skills, couldn’t remember her lines, always holding everyone back with her young mistress’s temperament.

Having such a colleague was simply a tragedy.

How could they possibly have any good feelings toward her?

Jiang Ruan sipped her watermelon juice, silently watching her without saying anything.

Sister Qin didn’t even look her way.

Bai Yi was also annoyed with her.

Only the kind-hearted director stepped in to smooth things over, "Cough, it is hot today."

"Luckily, we have Sister Jiang Ruan’s watermelon juice, sweet and cooling, drank it and instantly felt not hot. Thank you, Sister Jiang Ruan!"

Li Xin enthusiastically addressed her.

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Blinked a few times, a bit unresponsive herself.

What’s gotten into Li Xin today?

Praising her and even calling her Sister Jiang Ruan?

The sun’s rising in the west.

Bai Yi and the director exchanged looks, thinking the same.

Li Xin seemed a bit off today.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, "No need to thank me, as long as everyone’s happy."

Li Xin continued to praise, "Sister Jiang Ruan is truly beautiful and kind. I was immature before and said or did stupid things. Please don’t hold it against me, Sister Jiang Ruan. I’ll definitely learn more from you in the future."

Jiang Ruan: Hehehe...

Why does it feel like she has some plot in mind?

Sister Qin enjoyed the show.

Bai Yi, as an outsider,

was, of course, delighted, "It’s good that you’re thinking this way, we should all learn from each other and improve together."

Jiang Ruan chimed in, "The director is right, but I think everyone has their own style when it comes to acting, you don’t need to learn from me."

After chatting for a while, Li Xin’s feet got a bit sore. Seeing no empty seats, Bai Yi and Jiang Ruan were sharing a bench.

Only beside Bai Yi, there was a little extra room.

Li Xin approached, blinked, and, looking a bit clueless, said, "Brother Bai Yi, could you make some space for me?"

As she got closer, a strong scent of some perfume, which Bai Yi disliked, filled the air.

It was his least favorite scent.

Bai Yi: "..."

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Sitting this way was spacious for him and Jiang Ruan.

If he moved, they’d get too close to Jiang Ruan.

That wouldn’t be good.

So, Bai Yi elegantly stood up, looked at Li Xin, his smile not reaching his eyes, "You sit, I have scripts to review, so I’ll head out."

After exchanging a few glances with Jiang Ruan and the others, Bai Yi walked away with a fan blowing and his watermelon juice in hand.

No one was chatting anymore.

The director was busy with work.

In the end, it was just Jiang Ruan, Li Xin, and Sister Qin left.

Li Xin seemed a bit crazed today.

She wasn’t holding back at all.

"Sister Jiang Ruan, do you really dislike me?" Li Xin asked, her tone sweet and pitiful, with a touch of green tea white lotus.

Sister Qin almost choked.

Doesn’t she know how people feel about her?

She acted that way towards Jiang Ruan before.

She’s lucky Jiang Ruan doesn’t hate her to death.

Moreover, it’s not just Jiang Ruan who dislikes her.

The whole crew probably doesn’t like her, unless someone has a screw loose.

Jiang Ruan tugged at her red lips, asking with interest, "Why would you think that?"

"I was immature and had issues with you before," Li Xin bit her lip, "To be honest, don’t you dislike me a lot? I know, Sister Jiang Ruan, I know I have many shortcomings..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Ruan interrupted.

She couldn’t stand listening to this pity party.

And the overwhelming peacock-like scent.

It was suffocating.

Jiang Ruan stood up, smiling gently, "I don’t dislike you, after all, people are different. If everyone were good, there’d be no bad people, right? And you don’t need to call me sister, if I remember correctly, I’m younger by two months, so focus on your work, and let’s all get along."

"Stop chatting, just remembered I haven’t reviewed my script, I’m leaving now."

With that, she pulled Sister Qin away.

Leaving Li Xin alone.

Sitting on the bench, Li Xin was still in a daze.

A moment later, she snapped out of it.

Jiang Ruan’s words were clearly mocking her!

Li Xin was so angry she could barely breathe.

Not everyone is good, meaning she’s a bad person?

Not calling her sister, meaning she shouldn’t pretend to be young.

Ahhh!

She was furious!

Li Xin gritted her teeth, Jiang Ruan this witch!

Looking at the chilled watermelon juice in her hand, Li Xin was filled with rage, and after checking that no one was watching,

she tossed it into the trash can.

Some lousy watermelon juice.

She didn’t care for it, hmph!

Elsewhere, Jiang Ruan was reviewing her script while Sister Qin couldn’t hold back her laughter.

"Hahaha, your words just now were really sharp and to the point."

"That’s how you handle her."

Sister Qin held her phone, laughing and clutching her waist, "You didn’t see her expression at the time, she was completely dumbfounded."

Jiang Ruan giggled innocently, "It’s not my fault, she came to me."

"But it’s strange that today Li Xin would take the initiative to reconcile with me. It surprised me."

"Why be surprised at that?" Sister Qin calmed her laughter, "That’s just how the entertainment industry is, enemies with sharpened blades one day, bosom friends the next."

"You’ll see it often; their common trait is having profit as their priority."

Li Xin has no backer now.

If she doesn’t wise up, she truly won’t make it in the entertainment world.

Sister Qin suddenly exclaimed in shock.

"Sweetie, you’re trending!"
