Chapter 86 I'm on Your Side
In Ning Baicha's calculation, after she said this, according to her current relationship with Shen Shijing, Shen Shijing would definitely ask "It's not a small thing".
But she had already finished speaking for a long time, and Shen Shijing just looked at her meaningfully without saying anything.
It was as if he was waiting for her to speak.
Ning Baicha couldn't understand. She didn't know why Shen Shijing's attitude towards her suddenly changed so much. This change made her a little uneasy.
But fortunately it's not that difficult.
It is a state that can be processed in time.
Ning Baicha pursed her lips and said palely: "Boss Shen, stop joking."
This was said vaguely.
Before, Shen Shijing told her that he was just supporting her and asked her not to think too much about it, so her reaction at this time was normal.
After all, in Ning Baicha's opinion, Shen Shijing's sudden words were just a joke.
Shen Shijing asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Ning Baicha bit her lower lip lightly. She signaled to Shen Shijing with her eyes that Chen Ying was still beside them, so she asked him to be more careful when he spoke.
Shen Shijing seemed not to see Ning Baicha's eyes. He picked up the red wine and drank it slowly.
On the other hand, Chen Ying seemed to have finally come to her senses. She put away the shock on her face, but her brows were slightly furrowed.
To be honest, in the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon to find financial sponsors in order to climb up the ladder.
Even in their drama world, there are many drama actors who will try their best to please their sponsors in order to have a bright future.
After all, everyone’s starting point is different.
Some people may come from a family of drama, or a family of calligraphy and painting.
But some people can't even make ends meet.
Some people even try their best to get into a mediocre drama troupe. They clearly have talent, but they are never going to be able to do this in their lifetime.
The world is inherently unfair. Everyone is just using their own resources to gain more resources for themselves.
Fight for your own chance to move up.
Chen Ying understood and could conceive, but she just... could never have imagined that... Ning Baicha was such a person.
She understood that many people were helpless, but when the person turned out to be Ning Baicha, she began to feel a little sad.
It's hard to tell if it's because of disappointment or something else.
The reason why we commit ourselves to others must be that there are many things we have no choice about.
And what has Ning Baicha, a person who is so dazzling and seems to have endless energy no matter when and where, experienced?
That’s why I had to give myself to Shen Shijing?
Human imagination is really rich. In just a few breaths, Chen Ying had already imagined a big drama in her mind.
She closed her eyes and swallowed the sourness in her chest.
"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Chen Ying suddenly interrupted the two of them. She was a person who was so proud that she even didn't understand the ways of the world, but at this moment, she was very considerate and gave Ning Baicha enough dignity.
As long as she left, Ning Baicha and Shen Shijing would be the only ones left in the room.
The two of them can have a slow chat.
Sure enough, after Chen Ying left, Shen Shijing's expression changed.
He relaxed his posture, raised one eyebrow, and looked at Ning Baicha: "Your friend is pretty good."
“She…” Ning Baicha pursed her lips, her brows still tightly furrowed, “Chen Ying is a very good friend.”
"Does she know that you are someone else's lover?" Shen Shijing asked again.
When he asked this question, his expression was calm and there was no sign of any major emotional ups and downs.
So Ning Baicha couldn't tell what he was thinking from the expression on his face.
Ning Baicha looked a little miserable, and she frowned slightly: "Boss Shen, did I do something recently to make you unhappy?"
Shen Shijing played with the red wine glass in his hand and said slowly: "Why do you say that?"
"Isn't it?" Ning Baicha looked at him carefully, "You must be angry today, right?"
"Are you angry?" Shen Shijing curled his lips, and after uttering these words, he fell silent again.
Ning Baicha was feeling extremely anxious, but she couldn't show it too obviously in front of Shen Shijing, otherwise her thoughts would be easily seen through by this shrewd man.
"So, is that so?" Ning Baicha asked again without waiting for Shen Shijing's answer.
Shen Shijing curled his lips and suddenly put down the red wine glass in his hand: "I guess so."
"So, did I do something wrong?" Ning Baicha asked again carefully.
Shen Shijing stopped talking. He looked a little drunk, and a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes: "It's because I didn't do anything."
Ning Baicha was confused again: "What?"
"Forget it." Shen Shijing suddenly stood up. He ignored Ning Baicha and turned to walk out. But after taking two steps, he suddenly walked back, put his hands on the table, and stared at Ning Baicha almost directly. "The competition system of the Golden Elephant Awards has always been fair and just."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Shijing left.
Ning Baicha pondered over Shen Shijing's words for a moment. What he meant was that as long as they competed seriously and gave their all, they wouldn't have to worry.
Because the judges will make the assessment based on their performance.
Although he already knew this, Ning Baicha still felt that Shen Shijing's words were a little...official.
He also didn't explicitly say that he would not favor Ning Baixuan.
Ning Baicha sat in the chair with his head raised, staring at the ceiling, feeling a sense of irritation rising in his heart.
When Chen Ying came back, she happened to see her sitting in a bad posture.
She stared at Ning Baicha with a strange look on her face for a while, and then she said as if she had made up her mind: "Chacha, don't worry, I will definitely help you keep this secret."
Ning Baicha: ...
Now I remember there is also the trouble of Chen Ying.
She looked at Chen Ying with a bit of a smile and tears in her eyes. She really didn't know how to explain what Shen Shijing had just said.
But whether it is an admission or a denial, it is a response to the matter, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is an admission.
So Ning Baicha just smiled and said, "You really think too much."
Then he stood up and walked out.
But Ning Baicha didn't know that Chen Ying had already imagined a big drama in her mind: "sick mother, gambling father, school-age sister, and a broken self".
Looking at Ning Baicha's expression, he felt more and more pity for her.
"Cha Cha, I know this kind of thing is shameful, and many people avoid talking about it. It's really embarrassing. But I want to tell you that no matter what happens to you, I will stand by you 100%!" Chen Ying looked at Ning Baicha with a firm look as if he wanted to join the party.
