He blurted it out, and by the time he realized the gravity of the situation, he found Song Xi staring at him with sharp eyes.
"Mr. Lou? You know Lou Yuming?"
Fortunately, Dai Ze was quick-witted. He said, "Who doesn't know Mr. Lou? But he surprised me when he called me today. Aren't you Mr. Jia's person? How come you're with Mr. Lou..."
"Mr. Jia? What are you talking about!"
"Aren't you?"
"No!" Song Xi vehemently denied, finally understanding why he had looked at her strangely during that time. She explained, "I hit it off with Mr. Jia's daughter. Lingling likes me a lot, so Mr. Jia asked me to spend time with her! It's just a simple relationship, not what you think!"
"Ah?" Dai Ze was so startled he almost slammed on the brakes. "Then you and Mr. Lou..."
Song Xi suddenly stammered, "There's... there's no relationship for now! Why did he suddenly call you?"
"I'm your agent. If I can't find you, won't I call him?"
Dai Ze urged, "Alright, hurry up and reply. Don't make him worry."
Unexpectedly, Song Xi suddenly threw a childish tantrum. She turned her head and looked out the window, "He hasn't contacted me, why should I reach out first?"
"My dear ancestor!"
Song Xi leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep."
Dai Ze was helpless, so he sent a message to Lou Yuming himself and secretly took a photo of Song Xi to send.
"The recording is finished, right?" After a while, Dai Ze said, "There's another flight at ten tonight..."
"I'm not going back!" She suddenly opened her eyes, no longer pretending to sleep. She proactively asked, "Brother Dai, are there any other jobs?"
"..." Dai Ze's mouth twitched. "It's only the second day of the Lunar New Year. Are you sure you don't want to rest for a while longer?"
"In our profession, how can we rest too much! I have to seize opportunities at all times!"
She was quite self-aware.
Dai Ze looked her up and down. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
No agent dislikes a hardworking artist.
Since she had this wish, Dai Ze naturally did his best to satisfy her, even though he knew in his heart that she had probably had a falling out with Mr. Lou and was deliberately using work as an excuse to avoid going back.
But since Mr. Lou didn't have a mandatory requirement to bring her back, Dai Ze agreed to her request. Less than an hour later, he handed her a schedule.
"Are you satisfied with my arrangements for you?"
Song Xi looked at the dense schedule and swallowed. She said firmly, "Satisfied!"
And so, from that day on, Song Xi started flying all over the country. Because "The Worker" was scheduled to be filmed at the end of the month, Dai Ze arranged only fragmented, miscellaneous jobs for her during this period.
Song Xi wasn't picky. Even if it was just a cameo as a minor assistant, she performed with all her heart. Her acting was so outstanding that she almost overshadowed the female lead.
She was like a spinning top, working twenty-four hours a day without stopping. Variety shows, cameos, interviews. She woke up before dawn every day and didn't return to her hotel until late at night. Even Xiao Mo couldn't stand such intense work, but Song Xi maintained her energy every day, making Xiao Mo feel like she was a superhero.
The previous cameo had gone very well, so the director specially added a few more scenes for Song Xi, asking the assistant played by Song Xi to seduce the male lead.
Song Xi: "?"
Isn't this a bit too morally questionable?
"How is it? Can you act it?"
Faced with the director's question, Song Xi gritted her teeth and slapped the script onto the table.
"Of course, I can!"
She was an actress now. Morality? Can it be eaten?
