Chapter 734

734 I Only Want to Make Money

When Shi Xi saw Nan Wan appear, she was a little confused.

Didn’t Nan Wan announce that she wouldn’t be acting in [Sky Blue]?

Why did she appear again?

Nan Wan handed a cup of milk tea to Shi Xi. “Xi Xi, have some milk tea.”

!!

Shi Xi took it. “Thank you.”

Even though the two of them didn’t like each other in their hearts, they had always maintained superficial peace.

An Zhilan quickly asked the question she wanted to ask.

“Eh? Nan Wan? Didn’t you say that you’re not coming to [Sky Blue] anymore because of the crash? Why are you here again?”

Nan Wan smiled lightly without any awkwardness. “It was a coincidence, but the director strongly invited me. I saw that the script was excellent, so I rejected another job.”

An Zhilan looked at the director. “Director, is that true?”

The director did not say anything.

She couldn’t tell if Nan Wan was telling the truth.

An Zhilan couldn’t hold back her temper and asked Nan Wan, “Nan Wan, what job did you reject?”

The smile on Nan Wan’s face froze.

That was the excuse she made up.

How could there be any rejected jobs?

“I’m not going anymore, so I won’t say anything.” Nan Wan took a sip of milk tea and changed the topic. “Where do I start reading the script?”

An Zhilan wanted to continue asking, but Nan Wan never answered directly.

The director did not say anything and let everyone continue reading the script.

With Nan Wan’s participation, there was no need to skip the second female lead’s scenes. It was easier to read the script.

When they were resting again, Shi Xi was drinking water as she sized up Nan Wan.

Nan Wan had obviously studied the script carefully.

When she was reading the script just now, she actually didn’t do anything.

This was really strange.

Nan Wan seemed to sense Shi Xi’s gaze and looked over. “Xi Xi, why aren’t you drinking milk tea?”

Shi Xi held her thermos flask and smiled. “I’ll drink some hot water first.”

Nan Wan replied with an “oh” and said with concern, “Milk tea should still be drunk while it’s hot. It won’t taste good if it’s cold.”

Shi Xi’s eyes were shallow. “I understand.”

She would not drink the milk tea that Nan Wan gave her.

Especially when Nan Wan had specially given it to her.

Nan Wan retracted her gaze, her eyes cold.

After reading today’s script, the director said, “Everyone has worked hard today.”

“After the New Year, we will officially start filming. I hope everyone will be in their best condition.”

“Alright.”

“That’s for sure!”

“…”

The actors responded in unison.

Director: “It’s getting late. Let’s have a meal together. My treat!”

“Sure!”

“The director is treating us! Yay!”

“Then I want something expensive!”

If the production team wanted to progress quickly and have a good atmosphere, they had to be united and friendly.

Everyone went to Midsummer Lightyear’s private room together.

Shi Xi did not want to go to such a social event, but this was her first time in an external team and she was the female lead.

Even Lu Zheng was there.

Shi Xi could only follow them, thinking that she could drink less and pretend to be drunk halfway.

When they went out, Nan Wan walked beside Shi Xi.

“How scheming.” Nan Wan suddenly spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear,

“Do you think you can take me down just because you poached my manager?”

Shi Xi looked straight ahead. “I just think that Lu Ming is a good manager.”

Nan Wan smiled contemptuously. “Stop pretending. Lu Ming signed a confidentiality agreement. He won’t dare to reveal anything about me.”

Shi Xi looked at Nan Wan and said seriously, “Looks like you’re mistaken. I don’t care about you at all.”

Nan Wan was startled.

“I just want to earn money,” Shi Xi said with a faint smile.
