this question.
nearly scared Zhang Cehua to death.
Oh my god, did I say something wrong?
If Shen Xubai knew that his own sister had snatched away several roles, wouldn't that lead to a tragic fratricidal bloodbath...
Zhang Cehua dared not tell the truth.
He rubbed his forehead: Stupid brain, think!
Fortunately, he remembered Director Fang's relationship with Shen Ningxi!
Zhang Cehua breathed a sigh of relief.
He pulled Shen Xubai to the side, away from Sister Yang, and then pretended to be clueless, "What do you mean snatching scripts? I don't know anything about that! Director Fang arranged for me to deliver a script to Miss Ningxi today."
"Oh!"
Shen Xubai responded with understanding.
The heavy stone in his heart was finally lifted.
As expected, Ningxi wouldn't do such things!
The little girl was too sick to even take care of herself, how could she manage the Lu family's business.
I don't know what they brainwashed her with at the Lu family's place.
They forced the little girl to take all the blame, how hateful, how hateful!
...
Sister Yang craned her neck, eavesdropping on their conversation.
But she couldn't hear a single word clearly.
After a few more polite exchanges, Zhang Cehua took his leave.
He didn't dare to linger in this house; who knew if one wrong word would cause a sibling feud. It was too risky, too risky!
Zhang Cehua made a swift exit.
Shen Xubai also picked up his water bottle and strode into the house.
Sister Yang's earlier unease vanished the moment she saw Shen Xubai's face.
As expected, she had been mistaken that day.
His face today was even darker than before.
So dark it was practically shining!
With such an ugly face, he still dared to compete with my Ang Ang for a script? He must be dreaming! He can have anything in his dreams!
...
At noon, Xiang Jiu arrived at the Shen residence.
He happened to run into Shen Ningxi, who was about to leave.
"Miss Shen, this is the dress the young master prepared for you. He will pick you up at five this afternoon to go to the Yan family's main residence."
Shen Ningxi accepted the dress but waved her hand, "No need, my Third Brother will take me. I have something to take care of first."
On the way, Shen Xubai asked, "Ningxi, where are you going?"
Shen Ningxi smiled playfully, "To accompany you to an audition!"
Shen Xubai remembered that the script was obtained for him.
He nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Ningxi."
"However, Third Brother's situation is special. Although he's a bit fair, it's still not enough for the screen. The discerning audience won't like it, so don't make things difficult for Director Fang."
Shen Ningxi dismissively wagged her finger.
"Third Brother, you are destined for success, a chosen Male Lead. Here, transfer 2999 to me, and I will help you pick a good script today for a stunning comeback!"
Shen Xubai: "..."
The little girl wasn't listening to him at all...
She was only thinking about money.
However, Shen Xubai was very cooperative.
As soon as he stopped the car, he immediately transferred 2999 to Shen Ningxi, leaving himself only 2 yuan.
"Ningxi, if you need money, just ask me directly. Don't beat around the bush. I'm your brother. From now on, Third Brother will work more and won't put you in such a difficult position."
"No, this money isn't for pocket money, it's karma money. I can only help you solve problems if I take your money. It's one thing after another; even siblings need to settle accounts clearly."
Shen Ningxi replied without looking up.
As soon as she received the money, she immediately transferred it to someone.
Shen Xubai was slightly taken aback.
Last time, she had also transferred the money out immediately.
She didn't seem to spend money usually and had no desire for consumption, so why was she so eager to earn money.
Shen Xubai paused and asked, "Ningxi, are you short of money? Do you have any external debts?"
Shen Ningxi put away her phone, thought for a moment, and nodded seriously, "Very short of money, but it's not an external debt."
"How much more money do you need? Third Brother will help you figure it out. Don't carry it all yourself. You should spend money on yourself; girls should spend money on what they need and not mistreat themselves."
Shen Ningxi pouted.
She spread her arms in a large circle, "A huge, gaping hole!"
Shen Xubai frowned, looking confused, "So much money, what are you going to do with it?"
Shen Ningxi didn't answer.
She just shook her head and said faintly, "Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."
Shen Xubai: "..."
Fine.
If she doesn't want to say it, she doesn't have to.
Anyway, his job is to work hard and earn money...
...
Dragon Shadow Group.
Shen Xubai had been here before.
Before he became the boss of a bankrupt company...
When Xingyao was doing well, he would be welcomed by two rows of people at the entrance.
However, times have changed; the Shen family's good days are in the past.
The siblings walked to the entrance.
They found many fans gathered, screaming and shouting.
"Brother Ang, your new drama is a huge hit, dominating the internet!"
"Sister Jasmine, 《 Kill Yesterday》 will definitely explode, topping the charts on premiere!"
"Ahhh, a perfect match, brother and sister, lock it down! I'll be following your next drama!"
It turned out that today was the premiere mobilization meeting for the drama 《 Kill Yesterday》. The official premiere was in two days, and they needed to coordinate promotional strategies.
Therefore, the main creative team of the drama was invited to a meeting.
Shen Xubai and Shen Ningxi were blocked behind, forced to listen to the fans' flattering remarks.
Shen Ningxi tilted her head and looked at Shen Xubai.
She had heard a lot about him and Bai Moli from her maternal grandmother these past few days.
Five years ago, Bai Moli was drowning in debt and was tricked by a small company into taking indecent photos.
She used their past acquaintance to ask Shen Xubai for help.
Shen Xubai readily agreed, not only helping her resolve the issue at a high price but also helping her pay off her massive external debts.
Afterward, he directly signed her to Xingyao, officially brought her into the entertainment circle, and poured all of Xingyao's resources into Bai Moli.
Bai Moli also proved herself, winning Best Actress in just three years.
However, as Xingyao declined, Bai Moli didn't want to stay.
But if she terminated her contract like this, she would be branded a traitor.
Following the advice of some unknown expert, a flood of news suddenly spread across the internet claiming that Shen Xubai wanted to exploit a certain Best Actress under his company. Xingyao only had one Best Actress, so it was obvious who it was.
This exposé successfully portrayed Bai Moli as an innocent flower who refused to bow to authority.
Bai Moli successfully broke free from Shen Xubai.
She didn't even have to bear the burden of Shen Xubai's kindness.
Everyone believed she was the one who had suffered injustice.
The Xingyao CEO, who had always been low-key and behind the scenes, was suddenly thrust into the spotlight. His dark complexion became a target for attacks, and he was called all sorts of names, like an ugly monster or an evil beast, even accused of being of Black descent.
This nascent, ambiguous romance.
Came to an end amidst this storm of controversy.
Shen Xubai's reputation began to collapse from that point on.
When their maternal grandmother told them these stories, the two grandchildren were so angry they drew circles around Bai Moli together.
Shen Ningxi pursed her lips in thought.
After a moment, she patted Shen Xubai's arm reassuringly.
"Third Brother, listen to Ningxi. This woman is blocking your career luck. Let go of her soon; your true love is yet to come!"
Shen Xubai chuckled, finding it both amusing and exasperating.
"I've let go, I've let go, I let go long ago. Third Brother just wants to make money now, to work hard and help my Ningxi fill that huuuuge~ hole."
Shen Xubai deliberately emphasized "huge."
As if echoing the large circle Shen Ningxi had drawn.
Shen Ningxi tilted her head to look at him.
With an expression of "a promising student."
She nodded with satisfaction, proudly saying, "Good Person Shen is clear-minded and understands immediately. Then Master Ningxi will borrow your momentum today to help you reach the top soon."
