The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 292 The Most Surprising Thing

"Hey, hey, don't hit me, don't hit me, Yangyang, be good..." Xu Jiuyang said with a chuckle as he dodged his daughter's little fists.

Sister Xiaoli watched from the side with a smile on her lips, not saying much, letting the little dumpling stumble and chase after her father.

"No... Ji Fu... Mom..." The little dumpling waved its little fists in a threatening gesture.

"Okay, okay, I won't bully you, I won't bully you," Xu Jiuyang said, raising his hands.

Sigh, all she did was give Xiaoli a kiss on the cheek, and the little dumpling is already acting like she's going to chase after her own father. She really is his daughter.

The hotel room was just a bit small, otherwise I would have made sure she knew what kind of father she was.

That's right, they've already gone back to the hotel. Anyway, he's only been on set for a few days and his scenes haven't been finalized yet, so he might as well go back to the hotel and play with his daughter.

Although he could tease her on set, it was too crowded and he couldn't be too intimate. A hotel was much more convenient. Xiaoli specially booked a room at another hotel that was quite far from the film set so that it would be easier for him to meet Yangyang.

Unfortunately, because she had never seen her father since birth, she was a little shy when she first met him. Unlike in some novels, where the father and daughter immediately understood each other and became affectionate, she did not do so.

Fortunately, Sister Xiaoli was there too. They coaxed the little dumpling for a long time before Xu Jiuyang was able to pick her up and kiss her twice.

However, Yangyang is still very wary of her father. Just now, she was very unhappy because her mother kissed her, and she even wanted to hit her father. It's really upside down.

After playing for a while, the little dumpling started yawning, and Sister Xiaoli then picked her up and comforted her.

"Little brother, you should go back first," she said.

"Okay, sister, be careful." Xu Jiuyang didn't mince words, glanced at her daughter again, and left the hotel suite.

Upon arriving at the lobby, Xiaoli's new assistant, who had been waiting there, stood up.

"Mr. Xu, would you like me to take you home?" she asked, bowing slightly.

“No need, Fiona. The crew has seen you before, and they knew you were my sister’s assistant. Sending me home will raise suspicions,” Xu Jiuyang shook his head. “I can walk or take a taxi, you should go upstairs and take care of my sister.”

"Yes, sir." The other person bowed again and left.

Xu Jiuyang watched her enter the elevator before shaking his head, then came out of the hotel lobby and hailed a taxi.

When Sister Xiaoli sent Liu Tao to Shenlei Technology before, she said that she had found a new assistant. He didn't think much of it. But when he came to the Zicheng film crew to report for duty, he saw Xue Kaiqi running around behind him.

However, Xu Jiuyang was immune to this at this point. He not only didn't find it outrageous, but even thought that Sister Xiaoli was amazing, always able to bring those celebrities from his previous life under his control and make them work for him.

The two assistants this time were also like that.

"Boss, I've finished organizing the outline."

"Boss, I've prepared the schedule for tomorrow."

As soon as they returned to the hotel room where the film crew was staying, two almost identical assistants came up to them and started chattering away, trying to take credit.

"Stop, don't rush, take it one step at a time," Xu Jiuyang said, raising one hand.

Although they look very similar and anyone would think they are twins, they are actually two people from different regions.

One is named Zhang Shuang, the other Zhao Shu. The former is from Bajizhou, Shandong Province, and the latter is from Chuncheng, Jilin Province, and the latter is even a year younger than the former. But for some reason, they not only look very alike, but their height and build are also similar. Especially their wealth—while perhaps not quite as striking as Li Dabai's, they are still quite eye-catching, particularly when wearing clothes that accentuate their figures. And what's more, they always like to wear the same clothes, the same makeup, and even use pen names. They're more like twins than actual twins.

That's right, the two assistants this time were arranged by Gao Yuanyuan. They are the literary assistants she mentioned several times before, so it's normal for them to have pen names—Zhang Shuang's pen name is Wenqi, and Zhao Shu's pen name is Shiqi.

You know what, just as "爽" (shuang, meaning refreshing) can be paired with "舒" (shu, meaning comfortable), "文" (wen, meaning literature) can also be paired with "诗" (shi, meaning poetry). No wonder he can be a literary assistant.

However, Xu Jiuyang always felt that Zhang Shuang was very similar to a certain tigress celebrity from his previous life. They were both from the same province, both had the same surname Zhang, and not only were their facial features and figures similar, but even their husky voices were very similar.

But when Zhao Shu stood next to her, he wasn't so sure. Judging from their facial features alone, Zhao Shu was closer to the appearance of the tigress from his previous life. Besides, he had forgotten whether the tigress had used the name Zhang Shuang in her previous life.

Then, thinking about Liu Tao, Zhang Junning, Chen Qiaoen, and even Secretary Sanjin, he became too lazy to pursue the matter further.

"Hmm, the outline is well done. I'll write out the main storyline when I have time. Then each of you can fill in a section, or each of you can write a version, and then submit them to me for review," Xu Jiuyang said, flipping through the outline.

Gao Yuanyuan had previously hoped that he would not give up writing. After learning about the plot of "Falling" through Fan Bingbing, she hoped that he could write it as a novella. If it could be published in a serious literary journal, it would at least enhance his reputation.

That's why she sent the "twins" to assist him; as for why they also served as his personal assistants...

"Do you still want Angela to send someone over?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

Well then, what could Xu Jiuyang say but accept it with a smile?

“Okay, boss,” Zhang Shuang and Zhao Shu replied in unison.

"Then I'll get started now, since it's still a while before lunchtime." Xu Jiuyang said, picking up Zhang Shuang's notebook and sitting down at the small table to work on it. Then, realizing something, he looked at the two girls.

The women who had agreed before were now staring at him expectantly, their faces full of anticipation.

Xu Jiuyang sighed inwardly, then said casually, "Wenqi, stay."

Zhang Shuang happily clenched her fist, while Zhao Shu hung her head in frustration.

Then, Zhang Shuang saw Zhao Shu out, and when she came back, she immediately crawled under the small table.

Xu Jiuyang, who had already started typing, tensed up and took a deep breath, becoming increasingly focused.

However, I still had some doubts in my mind. Where had I seen their behavior before? Well, I had indeed seen it before. Their behavior was not much different from that of Dong Qing and Tu Jingwei.

Considering that Gao Yuanyuan once said that she had specially sent them for training, it goes without saying where they were trained and how they were trained.

Xu Jiuyang wanted to sigh inwardly, feeling that Sister Yuanyuan had also gone astray, but in practice it was indeed very exciting.

If Dong Qing and Tu Jingwei represent a contrast beneath their serious demeanor, then Zhang Shuang and Zhao Shu are, as mentioned before, not twins at all, but twins who are even better than twins.

What's most amazing is that they can perfectly replicate the curve of their eyes and the arc of their mouths when they smile.

Even if he still had some bottom line, he wouldn't be able to resist it.

With such a thoughtful gesture from Sister Yuanyuan, how could I possibly refuse?

However, neither they nor Xiaoli, who brought Yangyang, were the most surprising things Xu Jiuyang encountered after joining the Tianlong crew. The most surprising thing was that he actually saw Liu Qianqian doing her homework!
Although this is normal behavior for a girl in her early teens, she is Liu Qianqian, Liu Tianxian!
If you want me to watch her skillfully perform a sword routine, I'm not surprised, but if you want me to watch her do her homework, especially math homework, and struggle with not being able to do it? Then I really need to think again about whether I was reborn in the wrong timeline.
