Ji Xiaoli's eyes sparkled as she looked at Zheng Nanfeng, her voice brimming with excitement.
"I want to produce a variety show on my own. Anyway, I'm not short of money now. I can totally promote myself!"
Zheng Nanfeng rested his chin on his hand, thought for a while, and then nodded. "It's not that difficult."
Although Ji Xiaoli knew Zheng Nanfeng would surely support her, she still felt elated upon hearing his confirmation.
"By then, I'll make a name for myself and let those people know that I'm capable too!"
Looking at the radiant Ji Xiaoli, Zheng Nanfeng softened completely. He ruffled Ji Xiaoli's hair and complimented, "Yes, my Xiaoli is the most amazing!"
Ji Xiaoli seemed to enjoy the praise and gave Zheng Nanfeng a big smile.
After getting Zheng Nanfeng's approval, Ji Xiaoli set out to start this great undertaking of hers.
After returning, Ji Xiaoli didn't go back to the film crew right away. Instead, she went home with Zheng Nanfeng. At home, they discussed and came up with a general framework. Then Ji Xiaoli asked Zheng Nanfeng to make the arrangements.
After dealing with these matters, Ji Xiaoli leisurely returned to the film crew.
Ji Xiaoli took care of some affairs in the crew. Just as she was about to look for the director, a girl walked towards her.
This girl was quite cute, but Ji Xiaoli had never seen her before.
Ji Xiaoli searched her memory and realized that the girl was also a popular actress. However, she had never seen her in the crew before. Presumably, she was the new female lead who had replaced Shen Wei.
The new female lead also saw Ji Xiaoli and came over with a smile to greet her.
"Hello, Sister Xiaoli. I'm the new female lead. My name is Lin Yinuo."
Lin Yinuo was very polite and well - bred, which made people like her. What was crucial was that Lin Yinuo's eyes were extremely pure, which made Ji Xiaoli like her right away.
Even the system couldn't help but sigh.
[It's really rare to find such a pure girl in the entertainment industry.]
It was indeed rare to get such an evaluation from the system. Ji Xiaoli immediately let down her guard against Lin Yinuo a bit. But after what happened with Qin Xiangxiang, Ji Xiaoli rarely let her guard down completely around anyone.
Ji Xiaoli replied with a smile, "Nice to meet you."
Lin Yinuo beamed happily after getting the response, with all her emotions written on her face.
"Sister Xiaoli, are you going to see the director? I'm going there too. Let's go together!"
Ji Xiaoli really had a good first impression of Lin Yinuo and was willing to interact with her. "Sure!"
Along the way, whenever they met people from the crew, they would greet them politely, saying "Hello, Sister Xiaoli. Hello, Sister Yinuo."
Ji Xiaoli didn't pay much attention and just chatted with Lin Yinuo casually. Lin Yinuo, however, was chatting away excitedly. "Sister Xiaoli, you're so nice to me!"
Ji Xiaoli was confused. All she had done was chat with her. What had she done?
"Not really, right? Don't people treat you like this too?"
Lin Yinuo shook her head seriously. "No, only you, Sister Xiaoli, are this nice to me!"
This made Ji Xiaoli even more confused. Why did it seem that something was off?
Ji Xiaoli just smiled and didn't ask further.
Ji Xiaoli was quite curious about Lin Yinuo, so she paid more attention to her in the crew these days.
After observing for a few days, Ji Xiaoli understood what Lin Yinuo meant.
Lin Yinuo didn't have many friends in the crew. Although her status wasn't very high, she was still a popular actress. Others always talked to her politely, afraid of offending her.
Several times, Ji Xiaoli caught people gossiping about Lin Yinuo behind her back.
Passenger A: "I tell you, Lin Yinuo came to chat with me again today. But I was busy then. I didn't have time to chat with her."
Passenger B: "Speaking of which, Lin Yinuo really doesn't seem like an actress at all. She doesn't understand any rules."
Passenger C: "Who knows? Judging from her innocent look, she might even be supported by some big shot."
Passenger A: "Really? We'd better stay away from her in the future."
Passenger B: "Right. We don't want to accidentally offend someone without even knowing what's going on. That would be too tragic!"
...
People in the crew didn't come to make friends. There were very few people like Lin Yinuo who wanted to make sincere friends. Even if Lin Yinuo showed her sincerity, the people in the crew would only be polite and wouldn't show their own sincerity. There were really very few people in the whole crew who could chat with her casually like Ji Xiaoli did that day.
So, a pure girl like Lin Yinuo really didn't have many people in the crew who would hang out with her.
Ji Xiaoli already liked Lin Yinuo, and after seeing her situation, she felt a bit sorry for her. Since Ji Xiaoli didn't have many friends in the crew either, she decided to hang out with Lin Yinuo all day.
Even when Zheng Nanfeng brought delicious food for Ji Xiaoli, she would ask Zheng Nanfeng to prepare an extra portion for Lin Yinuo.
At first, Zheng Nanfeng was quite dissatisfied with Ji Xiaoli hanging out with Lin Yinuo all day. But later, he found that Lin Yinuo didn't affect their relationship, so he didn't care anymore.
It was mealtime again. When Ji Xiaoli took Lin Yinuo back to her room, Zheng Nanfeng had already set the table.
Ji Xiaoli walked up and gave Zheng Nanfeng a big hug. "Nanfeng, what delicious food do we have today?"
Zheng Nanfeng smiled and tidied Ji Xiaoli's clothes. "They're all your favorites."
Ji Xiaoli glanced at the dishes, her eyes lighting up. She reached out to grab the chopsticks to eat.
Zheng Nanfeng grabbed Ji Xiaoli's hand. "Be good. Wash your hands first and then eat."
Ji Xiaoli mumbled a few words, but in the end, Zheng Nanfeng had to pull her over to wash her hands helplessly.
After washing her hands, Ji Xiaoli immediately rushed towards the food. Zheng Nanfeng just watched her lovingly from the side.
Ji Xiaoli smiled and invited Lin Yinuo to come and eat together.
Lin Yinuo already liked to be with Ji Xiaoli because Ji Xiaoli was kind to her. Now that Ji Xiaoli was so nice to her, she liked to be with Ji Xiaoli even more.
After getting along for these days, Lin Yinuo was extremely envious when she saw how Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng got along.
"You two have such a good relationship! I'm so envious!"
Zheng Nanfeng smiled. "You'll also meet someone who will be this good to you in the future."
Lin Yinuo looked at Ji Xiaoli as if she had received some incredible blessing.
"Sister, will I really meet someone who will be this good to me?"
Ji Xiaoli also laughed. "Of course! You surely will!"
Hearing this, Lin Yinuo was as happy as a child.
Zheng Nanfeng was also happy seeing Ji Xiaoli so happy and just watched her lovingly from the side.
These days, the three of them basically stayed together, and their relationship was quite good. Lin Yinuo always followed Ji Xiaoli around, calling her sister all the time, as if Ji Xiaoli was her real sister.
