Huayu: This celebrity doesn't follow the rules.

Chapter 71 The Egret's New Car

Zhou Ye suddenly raised her small face, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with tears: "Sister is naturally excellent, how can I compare to her?"

Her fingers twirled the drawstring of her hoodie. "She's good at studying, she wins awards, even headhunters are calling her."

"Zhou Xiaoye!" Zhou Qisi slammed his fist on the table. "Are you starting to act out a palace drama again?"

"How could I dare?"

Zhou Ye shrank back, then suddenly grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. CCTV's opera channel was showing "Dream of the Red Chamber".

She echoed Lin Daiyu's lines softly, "If I had known she was coming, I wouldn't have come."

Mr. Zhou choked on his soup and quickly grabbed a tissue: "Cough cough... You're also Daddy's precious child."

"Daddy's just good at sweet-talking people~"

Zhou Ye turned her head away and said in a muffled voice, "Someone as stupid as me can't even figure out aliens, how can I compare to your model student?"

"I know I'm not as clever as my sister, unlike me, who's dull-witted and clumsy with words..."

Zhou Qisi ran over and pinched her cheek: "You really are stupid! You got 28 points on the physics test and you still have the nerve to say that!"

"But you're not bad with words, you're always chattering away!"

"Wow--"

Zhou Ye suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms and pretended to cry, "Mom! They're all bullying me!"

"I only fell asleep during that one exam, didn't I? My sister has told me a thousand times... Mother!!!"

Zhou's mother almost burst out laughing: "Alright, alright, if your sister really goes to work in Yanjing, no one will fight you for the TV to watch alien documentaries anymore."

Zhou Ye's crying stopped abruptly.

She glanced at her sister, then suddenly grabbed the remote and switched to the science fiction channel, muttering under her breath, "Then you have to remember to send me autographed photos of celebrities."

Whose do you want?

"Jason Chou!"

"Then in the next life, I'll be a company from Beijing, not Taiwan..."

"The eldest daughter is indeed domineering..."

"Shut up!!!"

"You dare twist me? I'll bite you to death..."

"Crackling and popping"

The struggle for the eldest daughter is so simple and straightforward!
……

The next day in Yanjing

Jiang Ye walked ahead with his hands in his pockets, and Bai Lu jogged a few steps to catch up, still clutching the milk tea she had just bought.

"Boss, where are we going today?" Bai Lu asked, slurping up a mouthful of pearls.

She wore a burgundy knitted dress today, with a gentle round neckline and a hem that just reached her knees. She wore a short beige lamb wool coat over it, and the fluffy texture made her face look even smaller.

Her hair was styled into a half-up high ponytail, with a few unruly strands hanging down beside her ears, swaying gently as she ran.

Jiang Ye suddenly stopped, turned around, and began to imitate a theatrical voice: "Poor Xiaobai~ The role was snatched away by someone else~~"

The egret nearly choked on the pearl: "Cough cough. Boss, speak normally!"

Jiang Ye shrugged and resumed his normal tone: "There's nothing I can do. Jing Tian brought 4000 million yuan of investment to the production, so even my words as the director don't carry any weight."

"Xiao Bai, the female lead role. Didn't get it."

The egret, who was sipping her milk tea, blinked upon hearing this and said, "Ah, it's nothing."

She jogged a few steps to catch up with Jiang Ye, "Boss, you did your best, I know that."

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow: "Not disappointed?"

“What’s there to be disappointed about?” Bai Lu smiled, her eyes crinkling. “I’ve only been in this industry for a short time. It’s great to be able to learn from the crew. Just the other day, Xiao Mei from the drama troupe said that she spent five years in Beijing before finally getting a role as the third female lead.”

Jiang Ye stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair: "Okay, good attitude."

This girl is composed, and more importantly, she has a positive attitude and knows how to be content.

She's not the kind of fool who harbors resentment and bitterness after failing to get an opportunity. If she were, Jiang Ye wouldn't have mentored her anymore.

You can't keep someone like that even if you train them!
He smiled and said, "But I've managed to get you the second female lead, Shen Yindeng. This villain is very well done; if played well, she'll steal the spotlight from the female lead."

"Perform well then, don't embarrass me!"

"Oh, right!" Jiang Ye switched back to his operatic tone: "Little Bai, how about I reward you with a ride..."

The egret's eyes widened: "Huh?"

"I'm here today to pick out a car for you." Jiang Ye took out his subway card and swiped it at the gate. "You can't take the subway every day when you're running around for gigs."

Bai Lu's eyes instantly reddened, and she gripped the milk tea cup in her hand so tightly it creaked: "Boss."

"Stop!" Jiang Ye quickly handed over a tissue. "Don't spill the milk tea on the subway!"

The subway roared into the station, and the wind it stirred up ruffled Bai Lu's bangs.

She secretly wiped her eyes. Meeting such an unreliable yet protective boss was probably the greatest luck she had ever had in her life.

But this feeling of being moved didn't last long!

Three hours later, Bailu gripped the steering wheel, glaring at the slow-moving bus ahead with gritted teeth, muttering under her breath, "Baojun 730, 7 seats, panoramic sunroof."

She slammed the horn, "Whose female celebrity drives a minivan?!"

In the rearview mirror, Jiang Ye was comfortably sprawled in the second row, legs crossed, playing on his phone, and occasionally giving directions: "Turn right at the intersection ahead, don't go the wrong way."

The egret forced out a voice through gritted teeth: "Boss, is this car really for me?"

“That’s right!” Jiang Ye said without looking up. “2015 1.8L Luxury model, base price 89,800 yuan, with panoramic sunroof.”

He suddenly leaned over and asked, "Do you know why we chose a 7-seater? Won't it be inconvenient for you to pick up and drop off your family when they come to visit?"

"Of course, you can also act as our driver when the company or the film crew has dinner together in the future. After all, you're the only woman in our company with a car!"

The egret almost stepped on the gas and crashed into the green belt.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Beijing Film Academy, Jiang Ye casually slammed the door and got out of the car. Before leaving, he reminded him, "Come pick me up at 6 o'clock sharp tomorrow! Remember to fill up the gas tank, and keep the receipt for the company to reimburse you."

"Also, Xiaobai, you should practice your driving skills more often... You..."

Watching Jiang Ye's departing figure, Bai Lu slammed her fist on the steering wheel, accidentally honking the horn instead.

The "beep" sound startled the passing college student.

She slumped dejectedly onto the steering wheel, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the car purchase contract on the passenger seat: [Vehicle Owner: Jiangying Media].

I'm reminded of the boss's usual rhetoric!

"You can get a Beijing license plate by registering your business with a company!"

"It can also offset 13% of the value-added tax!"

"Using it to transport equipment or something is also considered company use."

"Liar!" Bai Lu muttered, but couldn't help touching the LCD screen on the center console.

Although it can't compare to a BMW, it's still a new car, and it's hers!
She can drive however she wants!

And then I immediately cheered up again!
She suddenly sat up straight, pulled out her phone, and typed rapidly: "Hehe, I need your help urgently! Lend me 2000!"

The transfer was completed three seconds later.

Haha: "Didn't you get 8000 in salary last month? How come it's gone so quickly?"

Egret: "I bought clothes! The boss said I'm the face of the company [crying]"

Hehe: "Then what do you need the money for now?"

The egret unconsciously smiled: "The boss just got me a car~ I'm going to buy some seat cushions to decorate it [smug], and I need to keep working hard!"

Hehe: "Wow! What kind of car is that?"

Bai Lu's finger hovered over the screen, hesitating for three seconds: "BMW!!!"

The other person typed for a long time, and finally sent a message:
"Bai Mengyan, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

Egret: "..."
