"Don't be nervous. Producer, didn't you add me on WeChat a long time ago? We should be familiar with each other by now." Tang Xin comforted.

"Hmm... I have some indescribable feeling."

----

I've been taking care of myself recently.

Chapter 82: Under the Wings

Xiaoling is going to meet the producer and director of the investment company today. The other party wants to use this opportunity to have an in-depth face-to-face communication with Xiaoling about the story of the comics.

Previously, we had either signed online or held a video conference. This time, we were face to face. Xiaoling was obviously a little nervous. After getting off the taxi, she held my hand and became silent.

"Are you Teacher Xiaoling? I'm Bai Ren, the executive producer of Huanli Company." A panting young man ran up to us, looked at me and stretched out his hand. "You are much more beautiful than in the photo."

Xiao Ling, who was standing beside him, heard this and her eyes twitched. Her face suddenly darkened. What a mistake. Tang Xin almost laughed out loud.

I had no choice but to shake his hand awkwardly but politely, "Hello, I am Li Xiaoling's elder sister, Li Xiaomeng. The one next to me is the teacher Xiaoling you are looking for."

"Ah." His smile froze on his face. He obviously realized that he seemed to have made a mistake right from the start. "Teacher Xiaoling, you and your sister look so much alike. I just... uh... didn't notice it just now. Sorry, I'm so sorry."

Xiaoling sighed and looked at me resentfully: "Sister, look at me, standing with you. I have become a supporting role, and your appearance is too foul."

"Little girl, when did you learn to be so smooth-talking..." I rolled my eyes at her and quickly told Producer Bai to ease the atmosphere, "My sister is just like that, she's a little quirky, don't mind her."

"No, no, Teacher Xiaoling is not only beautiful, but also has a lively personality. Who is this?" Producer Bai turned to Tang Xin and asked.

"Oh, I'm their guardian." Tang Xin introduced herself first, "After all, I'm worried about my two children coming to the Magic City alone."

"Oh, yes, yes." Producer Bai nodded repeatedly, "You are their eldest sister, right? It is really worrying to see children go out."

Well, another landmine.

"Come with me, our director can't wait to talk to Teacher Xiaoling."

……

Huanli Company is located in a corner of an office park with tall buildings. Unlike other high-rise buildings, their building is an independent low-rise building. It is only five stories high and relatively flat, more like an enlarged villa.

"This is the building built by our company. We are going to the animation studio on the third floor." Producer Bai swiped his card to open the gate and led us into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a man with a ponytail came up with a smile. But when he saw that there were four people in the elevator, he paused for a moment.

He soon recognized Xiaoling: "Teacher Xiaoling, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hello?" Xiaoling was a little restrained and leaned towards me slightly.

"Oh, Teacher Xiaoling, this is our animation director Huang Jin, Director Huang. Let me introduce these two, they are Teacher Xiaoling's sisters." Producer Bai introduced us to the side.

"Oh, I thought so. They look so alike. They are both top-notch beauties. Come on, teacher, come into our living room and have a chat."

As soon as we entered the reception room of Huanli Animation and sat down, Producer Bai walked in from outside with a few cups of coffee.

"Come, have some coffee. Since the two sisters are Xiaoling's relatives, we can talk openly here. The reason we invited Teacher Xiaoling to our company this time is, firstly, to meet with the director and discuss the preliminary plot concept of the animation series with the screenwriter. Secondly, we also want to ask Teacher Xiaoling for a favor. Can you appear in a few shots to help us promote our film?" Producer Bai was very direct and made the request straight to the point.

To be honest, for the production company and the distribution company, these two requests were not excessive at all. After all, they had already spent a lot of money to buy the copyright from Xiaoling. Inviting her to come and direct the animation was also a very responsible act. But for the inexperienced Xiaoling, it was not clear whether the second request was a good or bad thing.

Xiaoling wanted to reply, but I stopped her temporarily. "Producer Bai, we agree with your first request. But the second request will suddenly put Xiaoling in the spotlight. Isn't that a bad idea?"

"Hmm?" Producer Bai seemed a little confused and didn't understand what I meant. "What's wrong with that? With Teacher Xiaoling's looks, maybe she can become more popular. Teacher Xiaoling's fans may increase several times.

"Xiaoling is still a high school student. I'm worried that it will be bad for her growth if she is exposed to society so early." I touched Xiaoling's head and said with some concern.

Producer Bai and Director Huang's faces froze, and they smiled awkwardly, "Actually, you don't have to worry so much. I believe Teacher Xiaoling can stand the test, and I think the decision on this issue should be left to her."

It was obvious that the two people in front of me were a little dissatisfied with my interference and threw the question back to Xiaoling.

Xiaoling looked at me and then at Tang Xin beside her, and smiled calmly: "Sister, Sister Tang Xin. Xiaoling is very happy, very happy that you can accompany me to the Magic City. Xiaoling is very happy that sister's wings have always protected me. Xiaoling is very happy that sister has always kept me in mind and considered everything for me. However, Xiaoling must learn to grow up and learn to carry the sky on her own."

"Sister..." I was shocked by Xiaoling's words and became incoherent.

"Sister, there's no need to say more. We have to face this problem sooner or later. Although I am a talented actor, it does not prevent me from becoming an idol. I believe Xiaoling will handle everything." Xiaoling nodded seriously.

"Okay, Xiaoling, your sister believes you." Although I was a little worried, Xiaoling's aura was so strong that I couldn't find any words to refute her.

"Ha, so you agree?" Producer Bai was overjoyed, and I even suspected that he was going to stand up and dance.

"Yes, agreed."

"Actually, I have always had a question." Director Huang, who had been silent, stared at me and said, "Teacher Xiaoling, is the prototype of the protagonist of your comics your sister?"

Xiao Ling, who was still smug, froze in thought and said with a smile: "Ah, this, that, there is... a little bit."

"You can't say they're the same. The face shape, hairstyle, and body shape are almost exactly the same." Director Huang sighed.

"Hmm?" I just remembered what those boys in high school said behind my back for no apparent reason. So this was what they meant. "Xiao Ling?"

"Ah, sister, please listen to my explanation. I didn't draw you on purpose. I just couldn't find a pretty girl to use as a template, and sister happened to be so perfect..."

"Pfft, I don't blame you. Just tell me in advance next time, okay? I won't disagree." I rubbed her face in annoyance.

"Hey, in that case. Miss Xiaomeng, are you interested in cosplaying? It's paid!" Producer Bai started to make plans again.

"I agree!" Tang Xin raised her hand.

Hey, Tang Xin, where are you from?

Chapter 83: Zero and Countless Times

When it comes to cosplay, there are only 0 times and countless times.

Looking at the girls who were dressing me up, I felt like crying but I couldn't. Just ten minutes ago, they sold me out. Especially Tang Xin, her eyes were almost shining.

"Hey, isn't it too low-cut?" I looked at Xiaoling with some resentment and covered my chest with my hands. This was the first time I wore a low-cut dress, and it was also the first time I saw my charming and seductive makeup in front of the mirror.

"Uh..." Xiaoling turned her head away, obviously not wanting to answer my question directly.

"Miss, you have a really great figure. This kind of clothes suits you so well and it brings out your charm perfectly." The makeup artist said with some envy.

"The skirt is a little short." For a moment, I didn't know how to cover it with my hands. I asked reluctantly, "Do you really want to perform in this dress?"

Tang Xin covered her nose and said, "Xiao Meng is so beautiful! She looks better than when she's not wearing...er, I mean, she looks better than when she's wearing regular clothes."

"Isn't this a matter of course?" The makeup artist obviously didn't understand the hidden meaning in Tang Xin's words.

I glared at Tang Xin fiercely. This girl should change her habit of making dirty jokes regardless of the occasion. But she seemed to smile even more brightly.

"Is there anything uncomfortable in what you're wearing?" The makeup artist took a few steps back, looked at me, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's a bit cold up there, can you put some cloth on it?" I said weakly.

"No!" The three women of X3 rejected me sternly in unison.

"Why?" I was about to cry. I felt that I couldn't overcome this hurdle in my heart. I had always been very conservative, but suddenly I felt that I was dressed like a **.

"Sister is wearing exactly what I imagined!" Xiaoling clapped her hands excitedly, "I used to think about how to make Sister wear this dress."

I turned my eyes to stare at her. "Hey, you are the culprit and the mastermind behind all this, and you are still so proud of yourself here."

"I was wrong, sister. But seeing you wearing this dress makes me feel that my life is worth it." Xiaoling said without conscience.

"..."

……

"Okay, Miss Xiaomeng, please move a little closer to Teacher Xiaoling. Yes, yes, yes, open your mouth a little bit and make that expression of breathing sweetly like orchid." The photographer was directing from the side and I had to do as he said.

"Very good, a few more photos! Miss Xiaomeng, put your face close to Xiaoling's face, and make your eyes look more blurry. Yes, yes, yes."

What kind of request is this! I complained in my heart, but my body had to do it. I could feel Xiaoling's face getting hot when I pressed it against hers. It looked like the girl was blushing too. Tang Xin, who was watching outside, had already stuffed two wads of white tissues into her nostrils without knowing when...

This guy……

Half an hour later, dragging my exhausted body, I finally walked out of the company's studio. Tang Xin handed us two bottles of mineral water to drink. Actually, I was fine. I didn't say anything from beginning to end. Xiaoling, as the protagonist of the support video, still repeatedly NGed several times. After all, everyone will be nervous when they go on stage for the first time.

"Teacher Xiaoling, Teacher Xiaomeng, you guys did a great job. Wait, our screenwriter and director will discuss the plot with you in five minutes. Please take a break first."

Producer Bai came over to tell us, and then left in a hurry. Tang Xin smiled silly and said to me: "This trip to Shanghai is really worth it..."

"You are enjoying watching it, but I am the one who is tired!" I said painfully.

"Then you take a rest first. I'll accompany Xiaoling to meet with the director." Tang Xin finally said something sensible.

"When can I change my clothes?" I glanced at the cosplay costume on my body and always felt that it was too revealing. Just sitting like this, I would be at risk of being exposed from almost any angle.

"You, take a rest first. When you have recovered your strength, go to the locker room to change." Tang Xin nodded lightly on my head and said in a doting tone.

"Okay!" I nodded. I was indeed a little tired, but most of the reason was due to my pampered lifestyle and lack of exercise.

After a while, Xiaomeng and Tang Xin followed the director to the conference room for a meeting. I was left alone in the lounge, staring blankly. I turned around and saw the animation company's production studio through the glass door. There were rows of computers inside, and employees were sitting in front of their computers, clicking their mice and keyboards from time to time. It looked a bit like a big Internet cafe.

I couldn't wait to get curious, so I stood up and walked over there regardless of whether I was tired or not. The glass door of the production department was not locked, and the access control system seemed to be open, so I walked in unimpeded.

The employees were all working very seriously, not paying any attention to a person who seemed to be dressed abnormally coming in. Their hands were typing quickly on the keyboard and mouse.

"Ah, Director Lu. There is a..."

When I passed by a girl's workstation, she suddenly stood up from her swivel chair and walked back, bumping into me.

"Ah..." I lost my balance and couldn't help but scream. As we lost our balance, we both fell to the ground at the same time.

"Hiss... it hurts, it hurts..." My butt was bruised, it hurt so much. But the pain was similar to the feeling after doing a bicycle kick in football, so I opened my eyes quickly.

But what I couldn't say was that the girl in front of me was lying on me with one hand on my chest. At this moment, she closed her eyes and looked scared.

"Are you okay?" I sighed secretly and had to comfort the girl in my arms. But why did this scene look so familiar?

"Eh?" She slowly opened her eyes, and after seeing my appearance clearly, she opened her mouth and couldn't speak, "What am I doing? Have I traveled through time?"

I said, girl, are you imagining things a bit too much? You were in the office one second and traveled through time the next? And can you please not use too much force with your hands? The situation here naturally attracted the attention of the nearby employees. The three girls around her came over and helped us up.

"Xiaoyu, you are too careless. You need to change your rash character." An older girl said with some blame.

"Director Lu...I..." She blushed and stammered, unable to speak clearly. She seemed shy.

It turned out that this was the Director Lu she mentioned. I also looked up and took a closer look at this capable-looking girl. She wore a pair of narrow-rimmed gold-framed glasses, had phoenix eyes, had short hair, an oval face, and some freckles, but they did not affect her overall temperament.

"I'm sorry, my subordinates have caused you trouble. But, may I ask who you are?" Director Lu first apologized to me, and then showed some doubts.

"Ah, I am, how should I put it, the company invites you to come over..."

"Cos actor!" Xiaoyu on the side answered first.

"Ah, not exactly." I didn't know how to introduce myself for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed. "Should I not come in here?"
