How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 344 I Like Teacher Zhang
"So, has your aunt replied yet?"

Zhou Lingyi leaned forward, her eyes secretly glancing at Qiao Shuxin's phone screen, eager to know the result.

If we're talking about Teacher Zhang, we need to make sure this gossip is genuine.

Her curiosity about whether Teacher Zhang and Bai Lu were actually dating far exceeded her interest in other celebrity gossip; even the private lives of popular young male stars couldn't distract her at this moment.

"No." Qiao Shuxin looked at her phone screen and gently shook her head.

Five minutes had passed since the message was sent, but the chat box remained silent, with the green message bubble floating forlornly, making her feel incredibly embarrassed, as if she had been cheated on.

Why isn't my aunt replying?

Are you busy?

Qiao Shuxin's fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of her phone, her anxiety growing.

"Auntie, answer quickly! Uncle's about to be snatched away by another woman!"

Qiao Shuxin screamed in her heart, if she wasn't worried about disturbing her aunt's work, she would have made a phone call long ago.

"Why don't you call your aunt?" Zhou Lingyi suggested. If they waited any longer, their afternoon extra work would begin.

Qiao Shuxin shook her head and explained as she exited the WeChat chat: "My aunt is probably busy, so let's not bother her. She'll reply to my message when she's done."

“Oh, then you must tell me as soon as you receive a reply,” Zhou Lingyi said earnestly.

“No problem.” Qiao Shuxin gestured with her hand, indicating “OK.”

After seeing this, Zhou Lingyi left Qiao Shuxin's side. After walking a few steps, she turned back and reminded her with concern, "Don't forget to tell me as soon as possible."

"Okay, I know," Qiao Shuxin said helplessly.

Even if the other party doesn't say it, she will take the initiative to tell them. Such a big piece of gossip can't be kept to herself, she has to share it, otherwise how can she demonstrate her connections?
After watching Zhou Lingyi walk away, Qiao Shuxin immediately went back into WeChat, found the chat box with her aunt, and began bombarding her with messages.

"Auntie, please respond if you see this!"

"Auntie, when are you free?"

"Calling Auntie, calling Auntie."

"..."

Qiao Shuxin posted several messages in a row, hoping to get a reply from her aunt, even if it was just an emoji.

But in the end, all of it disappeared without a trace, and there was no response.

Ugh!
Qiao Shuxin sighed deeply and finally put her phone away, but her gaze involuntarily drifted toward Bai Lu, who was reading a script.

Although she didn't think Bai Lu was prettier than her aunt, the other woman was a celebrity and a popular young actress. That celebrity aura alone was enough to make countless men fall head over heels for her.

Not to mention Teacher Zhang, even she, a woman, felt envious when she saw Bai Lu.

Auntie, you're in danger.

You'll regret it if you don't seize this opportunity with such a good man.

Qiao Shuxin is now both anxious and worried.

Of course, it wasn't for her own sake, but for her aunt's.

She, as the niece, was extremely worried about her aunt's marriage.

Huh?and many more!

Qiao Shuxin suddenly slapped her thigh, and her eyes lit up.

Since her aunt isn't answering, she can just ask Bai Lu herself.

Zhou Lingyi wasn't familiar with Bai Lu and was too embarrassed to ask, but she was different.

She was very familiar with Bai Lu, and she was also the niece of Bai Lu's agent. Given this relationship, Bai Lu would definitely feel embarrassed not to answer.

There's a saying: "Even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha."

Qiao Shuxin herself doesn't have much face, but her aunt does.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shuxin put her phone away and walked towards Bai Lu.

"Sister Lu, are you reading the script?"

"Oh, it's Xin Xin. How was filming?" Bai Lu put down the script and asked with concern.

"It felt good, I was just a little nervous at first, but I got used to it after a few takes," Qiao Shuxin said honestly, hoping to further bridge the gap between them and make it easier to ask her questions later.

“You’re better than me. When I first started acting, it took me several days to calm down. By the way, do you want more screen time? I’ll talk to the director and ask him to add a few lines for you, how about that?” Bai Lu asked.

Yuejie's niece, that is, her niece, should be taken care of if possible.

Qiao Shuxin immediately shook her head.

She's just barely able to walk the route correctly. If we add lines to her, she'll start walking with the wrong steps.

"Thank you, Sister Lu. I'm only staying here for one day, so I don't want to trouble you. You can help me add lines and scenes when I start acting in the future," Qiao Shuxin said.

"Okay, no problem, I'll wait for you," Bai Lu said with a smile.

"..."

Qiao Shuxin secretly sized up Sister Lu. Although she had already made up her mind, she still didn't know how to start a conversation when she was in front of her.

Bai Lu was about to continue reading the script, but after seeing the other person's hesitant and reluctant manner, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xin Xin, is there anything else?"

"Cough cough!"

Qiao Shuxin cleared her throat and then asked in a low voice, "Sister Lu, can I ask you a personal question?"

"Xin Xin, why are you being so polite with me? Just ask," Bai Lu said.

Qiao Shuxin cautiously observed her surroundings and, seeing that everyone was doing their own thing, asked in a low voice, "Sister Lu, do you have a boyfriend?"

After speaking, he revealed an expectant look.

Bai Lu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious. Sister Lu, you're so beautiful, you must have a lot of suitors. Just tell me, I swear I won't tell anyone," Qiao Shuxin said confidently, then held up three fingers.

“Okay, then I’ll tell you, my sister has a boyfriend,” Bai Lu said.

"Huh?" Qiao Shuxin froze, her voice trembling as she asked, "Is...is it Teacher Zhang?"

"Mm." Bai Lu nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

The other party is Sister Yue's niece. Even if she doesn't say anything, the other party can ask Sister Yue, and they will find out eventually.

"..."

Qiao Shuxin's heart skipped a beat, and she felt as if two words floated down from the sky: It's over.

If Teacher Zhang and Sister Lu are in a romantic relationship, then Auntie has no chance.
Bai Lu looked at Qiao Shuxin and was stunned to see the disappointment in her eyes.

What is this expression?
Does Xin Xin like Teacher Zhang? Is she having a teacher-student relationship at such a young age?
No, absolutely not.

She thought of Sister Yue and the relationship between Sister Yue and Xin Xin.

There's no doubt that Yuejie likes Teacher Zhang. If Xinxin also likes Teacher Zhang, wouldn't it turn into a rivalry between aunt and niece? They might even become enemies.

No, we must nip Xin Xin's interest in the bud.

"Xin Xin, what's wrong?" Bai Lu asked deliberately.

"No, it's nothing." Qiao Shuxin sighed softly, feeling sad and depressed that Teacher Zhang couldn't become her uncle.

Bai Lu carefully examined Xin Xin, and the more he looked, the more convinced he was of his guess. So he tentatively asked, "Xin Xin, do you like Teacher Zhang?"

"Mmm." Qiao Shuxin nodded subconsciously.

She really liked Teacher Zhang; he was handsome and talented, and she really wanted to call him "Uncle-in-law." Bai Lu was stunned, not expecting him to admit it, and her mouth remained agape for a long time.

Kids these days are getting bolder and bolder. They actually dare to admit they like her in front of her, their official girlfriend. Do they want to compete with her?
Do not!
The problem isn't between the two of them, but between the other party and Sister Yue.

Bai Lu took a deep breath and then said seriously, "Xin Xin, don't blame me for being nosy. You're still young and should focus your energy on your studies, especially now, which is a crucial period for building a foundation. You should work hard to improve yourself and become more outstanding, instead of wasting your energy on other unimportant things."

She repeated to Qiao Shuxin the words her teachers often used when she was in school.

Perhaps this is what inheritance is all about.

"Mm." Qiao Shuxin nodded, still feeling regretful that her aunt hadn't seized the opportunity, so she replied absentmindedly, "Thank you, Sister Lu, I understand. You can continue reading the script; I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"!"

Bai Lu watched Yue Jie's niece's retreating figure and realized that the other party didn't seem to care. He couldn't help but feel anxious for Yue Jie.

No, I have to tell Sister Yue right away, otherwise if this goes on for too long, my niece will become too deeply involved to extricate herself, and then it will be too late to say anything.

These days, young girls are so bold; you never know what they might do.

Bai Lu quickly took out his phone, found Yue Jie's WeChat, and typed in the input box.

"Sister Yue, keep an eye on Xin Xin, it seems like she's fallen for Teacher Zhang."

After you finish typing, press the send button immediately.

Unlike Qiao Shuxin, who received no reply to her message for a long time, Bai Lu received a reply from Gao Yue just over ten seconds after sending the message.

Moreover, the message was very short, consisting of only a question mark.

"?"

Bai Lu knew what Yue Jie meant; she didn't believe her and wanted her to explain. So she recounted everything that had just happened.

"Sister Yue, as you know, Teacher Zhang brought students from the training center to visit the film set today, and your niece was there too. She just came up to me and asked if Teacher Zhang is my boyfriend..."

When I answered yes, her face was filled with disappointment...

"She even admitted herself that she liked Teacher Zhang..."

"..."

She sent more than a dozen voice messages in a row, her voice filled with anxiety.

Although she and Yue Jie were rivals in love, now that Qiao Shuxin has appeared, the two have become comrades-in-arms sharing a bed.

the other side.

Sitting in her office, Gao Yue stared at the contents of her phone and fell silent.

She did not doubt the authenticity of the message sent by Bai Lu, because Bai Lu had no reason to lie to her or joke about her niece.

Actually, she had already noticed that her niece liked Zhang Wen before today.

For example, my niece gets very excited when she talks about Teacher Zhang, and after the art exams, she would ask her about Teacher Zhang, often exaggerating how amazing the teacher is...

In short, my niece acted like a little fangirl, and no longer chased after her to ask about celebrity gossip like before.

If you didn't like someone, why would you talk about them all the time?

Previously, it was all her speculation, but today Bai Lu confirmed it.

No!

I absolutely cannot let my niece fall for that philandering man.

As a victim, she felt it was necessary to have a serious talk with her niece tonight to prevent her from going astray.

She's beyond saving, but her niece can be saved.

Gao Yue replied to Bai Lu with a message: "I understand, I will talk to Xin Xin."

Next, she found her niece's WeChat account, looked at the inquiry sent by the other party more than ten minutes ago, and typed a line in the input box.

"She has a boyfriend, Mr. Zhang, who works in the special training class."

After sending the message, she typed another line.

"Come to your grandpa's house tonight, I have something very important to tell you."

Qiao Shuxin looked at the white message bubble appearing in her chat box with her aunt and a sense of doubt arose in her heart.

Why does my aunt want to talk to me? Why can't we say it over the phone? Do we have to meet in person?
Despite her doubts, she eventually responded.

"understood."

Just then, the director's voice suddenly rang out on set.

Qiao Shuxin immediately put her phone away and went to Teacher Zhang's side to wait for the extras' work to begin.

Han Xiaohua continued to use these newcomers from Beijing Film Academy and Huaxi Opera as extras.

It's just a backdrop anyway, so what difference does it make who we use?
He can also make Brother Zhang owe him a favor, so he's guaranteed to make a profit this time.

The afternoon passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was evening.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Go back and get some rest, and keep up the good work tomorrow," Han Xiaohua said to all the staff.

"Yes, director."

"Director Han, you've worked hard."

Everyone responded one after another.

"Director Han." Zhang Wen approached Director Han Xiaohua and said, "The children really like you and have benefited a lot from their time on set today. Before we leave, could we take a photo with you and the rest of the cast and crew?"

Upon hearing this, the students standing nearby all showed anticipation in their eyes.

"Of course," Han Xiaohua readily agreed.

"Thank you, Director Han."

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he went to find other people and quickly invited all the main actors over.

The actors all knew that Teacher Zhang was not only the screenwriter of the show, but also the representative of the largest investor.

We have to give face to our big spender.

Not only should we give, we should give enough.

The group stood in three rows, with the trainees interspersed among the actors.

Zhang Wen held his phone, pointing it at everyone.

"One, two, three... Smile!"

Time stood still at this moment, capturing everyone's smiling faces.

Our day trip to the film set has officially come to an end.

Zhang Wen led the students and their parents away from the film and television base and took a bus back to the hotel.

Although they had spent the whole day outdoors, relentlessly scorched by the blazing sun, and everyone was sticky and uncomfortable, the experience of acting excited them immensely.

I really wish I could act for a few more days and indulge in acting to my heart's content.

On the way back, everyone chatted happily, and their love for the performance reached its peak at that moment.

These are the most beautiful memories they can have from their entire summer vacation.
