Chapter 80 The operation was successful
Chen Ying’s personality is actually a bit cynical, but she does not set high standards for others. On the contrary, she sets high standards for herself.
Hearing Ning Baicha say this, I felt a little relieved.
But she hadn't completely relaxed yet. Suddenly, she thought of something. She pursed her lips and said, "You also said that it should be the case. What if he is just blinded by love?"
"This..." Ning Baicha didn't know what to say for a moment, and she felt a little amused. She propped up her forehead with one hand, "But Shen Shijing is such a big man... a big shot in the investment world, he should understand the importance of word of mouth, right?"
"It's different." Chen Ying lowered her voice and said, "Sometimes it's because we were too suppressed in the past, so after we have power, we can do whatever we want."
Ning Baicha raised his eyebrows, thought about it carefully, and realized that it was true.
She didn't know that Shen Shijing was going to be a judge, so she didn't think much about it. Now that she thinks about it, it's actually difficult to be 100% fair and just even in a drama, and it's more about human relationships and worldly wisdom.
Considering how much Shen Shijing values Ning Baixuan, it is not excessive for him to act like a tyrant.
It's normal.
Ning Baicha bit her lower lip lightly, and some fine lines appeared on her brows.
Seeing her uneasy look, Chen Ying's heart, which had just calmed down, was lifted up again. She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Cha Cha, I think it's time for you to make a huge sacrifice for the Yimeng Theater."
Ning Baicha's eyebrows jumped, and he stretched out his index finger, pressed it against Chen Ying's eyebrows and pushed her away.
She said with a half smile: "My dear sister Ying, just speak frankly and don't beat around the bush."
"Really?" Chen Ying didn't hide, but put on a pitiful look in this posture.
Ning Baicha and she are so familiar with each other that as soon as she raises her hand, Ning Baicha knows what Chen Ying is going to do.
"Hurry up and tell me." Ning Baicha smiled.
Chen Ying blinked her eyes: "Well, you look exactly like Ning Baixuan, and you have a good relationship with Mr. Shen, so why not just offer yourself..."
She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but she gave Ning Baicha a wink.
Ning Baicha knew exactly what she wanted to say, and smiled helplessly: "Why don't you go?"
"I..." Chen Ying hugged her chest and sighed, "Boss Shen will definitely not like my style. If he does, I won't mind giving it up for the sake of the drama troupe!"
Ning Baicha smiled: "You really don't have any bottom line at all."
"It's too hard to be a person with so many bottom lines." Chen Ying curled her lips, looked at Ning Baicha, and actively went forward and pushed her, "Are you going or not? Go, go, please."
This is not a difficult matter.
Anyway, Shen Shijing goes back to her almost every day now, so it’s nothing to ask.
But Ning Baicha didn't want too many people to know about what happened between her and Shen Shijing, so she pretended to be embarrassed: "But Xuanxuan and I are different. Mr. Shen and I are just friends..."
"Then..." Chen Ying was not a fool. She had already seen that Ning Baicha and Ning Baixuan were not on good terms. She hugged her chest, frowned, and began to think of ways and give advice. "Is it not possible to think of a solution?"
Ning Baicha pinched the bottle of water in his hand, squeezing it again and again, and said lightly: "Ah? Is there any way?"
"For example...you pretended to reconcile with Ning Baixuan?"
Ning Baicha smiled: "I don't have a big problem, but will Xuanxuan believe me? Even if she believes me, what if...she refuses to help?"
"You really don't have Shen Shijing's contact information?" Chen Ying asked again with a frown.
Ning Baicha took a sip of water and did not answer Chen Ying's question.
Chang Mengyu and Xue Zixuan were tired from rehearsal. The former walked towards them, while the latter sat down cross-legged near Ning Baicha.
Xue Zixuan was sweating all over, with beads of sweat running from his temples to his chin. He silently took out a bottle of water from the box, unscrewed it and took a sip, then looked at Ning Baicha. There was a hint of loss in his eyes, and that look was fleeting and difficult to detect.
Shen Shijing outside the door changed his posture, leaning lazily against the wall, his eyes fell on the opposite wall, and he listened quietly to the conversation in the room.
Chen Ying was a little unwilling to give up, so she dragged Ning Baicha and continued to ask, "Cha Cha! What on earth are you thinking?"
"Me?" Ning Baicha was really disturbed by her and said with a wry smile, "I'll give it a try, but I still think Mr. Shen is not that kind of person. As an investor, he knows what a good product is."
It’s not that Ning Baixuan’s Ruhua works are not good, but they are rather monotonous and almost impossible to scrutinize.
Such works have a huge market among today's young people, but in the drama market, or in almost all fields, works that can last longer are more enduring.
Time will give the best proof.
Things that go with the flow are, in the end, just temporary pleasure and quick money.
Compared to love, Shen Shijing values interests more.
Chen Ying rested her chin on Ning Baicha's shoulder and whispered, "Then you must remember this!"
"I understand." Ning Baicha smiled gently.
At this point in the rehearsal, it’s actually almost done.
Originally they trained every day, over and over again, and their control over the characters had already become meticulous.
During lunch, the assistant director took them to the restaurant next door and booked a large private room.
A group of people were eating and drinking, it was so lively.
The assistant director was also very happy. Once the competition was over, they could relax for a while.
They are about to go on stage, and the assistant director doesn't want to put too much pressure on them. Whether they can win first place or even get a ranking is all a matter of fate.
The assistant director spoke encouraging words for a long time, and everyone responded with a smile.
Halfway through the meal, the assistant director made another video call to Director Chen.
Director Chen and Teacher He's family members were in the ward. After He Haimei was diagnosed with a heart attack, she was hospitalized on the same day. Her physical condition was pretty good, so she didn't need to prepare in advance. She had a bypass surgery scheduled for a few days later, which was the day of the competition.
Director Chen said with a smile: "Keep rehearsing for the next two days. I may not be there to watch during the competition."
The assistant director and Director Chen have been friends for many years, the kind that can quietly complain about their wives when they get together.
He patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll be watching! Just stay there and watch Lao He's operation. If the performance is a success, the operation will be a success, too!"
