The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 305 Since We're Here
"Cut!" The camera stopped rolling as Zhou Xiaowen announced.

Xu Jiuyang, who was in the arena, also breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, transforming from a sycophant back into a normal person.

“Teacher Xu, I need you to be even more humble…” Zhou Xiaowen walked over and said to him.

“Okay, Director Zhou, I’ve taken another five minutes to think it over,” Xu Jiuyang nodded.

He is also very polite to people who communicate with him in a pleasant manner—even though there is a reason why they are pleasant to him.

"Hey, are you sure you can handle this?" Liu Qianqian, dressed as Wang Yuyan, leaned over and asked in a low voice.

His crescent-shaped eyes were full of smugness, but also contained a hint of provocation, which made Xu Jiuyang frown.

"Your chin's sticking up to the sky," he said dismissively.

"Huh?" Liu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and even reached out to touch her chin before she realized what was happening.

"Hmph, you can't even beat a little girl, all you can do is talk the talk." She immediately snorted.

Xu Jiuyang frowned again, thinking that he hadn't offended her. Moreover, since she joined the group, she had always been kind and gentle in her dealings with people, and there was no sign of her being spoiled... Okay, I understand.

"Sissi's acting skills are so amazing, I imagine she's just as good as everyone else, right?" he asked with a smile.

Her previously proud expression instantly crumbled. Liu Qianqian glared at him angrily, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Xu Jiuyang's smile widened. Although he didn't understand why her acting was so good when she acted with him, to the point that he was slightly distracted and almost overshadowed by her, she wasn't so magical when she acted with others.

"You should think about how to act later so that the director won't call you over for more instructions again." Liu Qianqian snorted again, then silently mouthed "papa".

Xu Jiuyang narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry, I'll talk to your mother tonight."

"Are you a child? Why do you always run to your parents to complain?" Liu Qianqian immediately seized the opportunity to mock.

However, Xu Jiuyang just chuckled and said, "Who told you I went to complain?"

He glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then lowered his voice even further: "I was just thinking that Xiaoli must be working very hard to pave the way for her good-for-nothing daughter, so I should go and comfort her."

Liu Qianqian's eyes widened, and her expression was one of extreme terror, whether from the verb "comfort" or from the title "Sister Xiaoli" was unclear.

However, Xu Jiuyang ran off to drink water as soon as he finished speaking, leaving her no time to chase after him and only able to stay there and sulk.

"You're still too green to fight me." Xu Jiuyang was a little smug, then shook his head with a wry smile. Arguing with an immature little girl, he really was getting more and more like a child.

Once he calmed down and got serious, he smoothly completed his scene with Liu Qianqian, and then it was Hu Jun and the others' turn to go on stage.

Today's scene is set in Xingzilin, so Hu Jun and his group are all here, including Chen Hao. The resentment in her eyes as she looked at him was almost tangible.

Therefore, Xu Jiuyang didn't hesitate and directly asked Zhang Shuang to secretly tell her to come to his room tonight.

Since Sister Xiaoli has already said so, why should he be reserved anymore? In addition, Fan Bingbing actually agreed to his suggestion to set up a new company to absorb the original shares of BAT, so he was naturally in a great mood. Why not invite Chen Hao over to have some fun?

However, Zhou Haimei had to decline the offer for the time being—given her acting skills in "Fight Back to School" and the 94 version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," she could easily handle the role of Kang Min.

Although the older women dote on Xu Jiuyang and are incredibly dedicated to their cosplay, and it looks like Dao Baifeng and Duan Yu are about to face off against Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing, they certainly wouldn't refuse if asked to help Chen Hao relax. However, even though he's becoming increasingly scummy, he still considers other people's feelings.

Even Fan Bingbing, though wary, sometimes says the wrong thing or is too harsh, and she'll still be coaxed when necessary.

Moreover, he now understands why Sister Xiaoli made this arrangement, although neither of them has said it out loud, so it's better to accept it to put her mind at ease.

But then—the doorbell rang. Xu Jiuyang, who had just pulled the shy Chen Hao to sit down, sighed, patted Chen Hao's hand reassuringly, and went to open the door.

He said a few words at the door before turning back: "Sorry, dear sister, I have something to take care of. I'll be right back."

"It's alright, you can go ahead," Chen Hao said with a gentle smile.

After Xu Jiuyang left, the young woman sighed deeply, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

After all, she should have gotten there first, but unexpectedly, Yang Rong got the better deal by a twist of fate.

Chen Hao was naturally unhappy. Although she sometimes wondered if it was right for her godmother to make her and Yang Rong do this, as long as she thought about the care her godmother had given her over the years and her dependence on her godmother, she knew that this was something she had to do. Moreover, Yang Rong's smug look after succeeding was really despicable.

Without a doubt, this is a girl who has been disciplined to the point of being obedient. But she is not the first, nor will she be the last, to be like this.

The doorbell rang again, several times in a row. Chen Hao frowned slightly, but still went over and looked out through the peephole. Her brows furrowed even more, because standing outside was her younger sister, A Zi.

After hesitating for a moment, she opened the door before the doorbell rang again, putting on a smiling face: "Xiaoxue, is there something you need?"

Yang Xue, standing outside the door, was somewhat surprised, but not entirely. She looked Chen Hao up and down, then smiled and replied, "May I come in?"

"I can't make that decision; Jiuyang isn't here right now." Chen Hao tried to use words to deflate Yang Xue's ego, but before he could finish speaking, Yang Xue had already barged in without any hesitation.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate, Miss Yang?" Chen Hao said, somewhat annoyed, after being jostled and staggered.

"You're not Jiu Yang, how do you know it's not good?" Yang Xue retorted.

Chen Hao pursed his lips, a hint of anger in his eyes: "Shouldn't we have to respect the order of arrival?"

"Why should I talk about it?" Yang Xue continued to retort. "Isn't this kind of thing about seeing who has more ability?"

Chen Hao was so angry he almost laughed: "What makes you so arrogant?"

"Perhaps it's because it's my first time?" Yang Xue raised her chin slightly.

Chen Hao was stunned for several seconds, then sneered and puffed out his chest: "Sorry, me too."

"You?" Yang Xue looked at her, his eyes revealing obvious disbelief.

Chen Hao didn't explain, but simply crossed his arms and looked at Yang Xue with a cold smile.

Yang Xue didn't back down either, putting his hands on his hips and returning the look with disdain. For a moment, it seemed as if electric currents were crackling and intertwining in the air.

Only when they heard the sound of a card being swiped to open the door did their expressions change instantly, and they both gave the person who entered a sweet smile.

Xu Jiuyang was visibly taken aback: "Why did Xiaoxue come over?"

"Xiaoxue came to see me," Chen Hao said quickly.

Although Yang Xue had lost the initiative, she quickly took over the conversation: "Yes, there are many things I would like to ask you for guidance, Sister Hao."

Xu Jiuyang looked at Chen Hao, then at Yang Xue, and suddenly burst into laughter. He then stepped forward and pulled them into his arms, one on each side: "Since you're here, let's all come together."

Chen Hao and Yang Xue blushed at the same time, but they didn't seem to want to refuse each other.
