Thereafter, Lin Che also called Shen Youran and told her that she would instruct someone to bring the gifts over to her. Shen Youran said hastily that she wanted to go over and get them herself.

It was rare for her to get a day off, so she came over to take a look at Lin Che’s workplace.

There were many people walking around in the company. When Shen Youran arrived, Yu Minmin went downstairs to receive her. The moment they entered, Lin Che was already ready to set off for a filmed exclusive interview.

When Shen Youran saw Lin Che, she first took out the clutch bag in her arms and showed it to her. “This is probably really expensive, Lin Che.”

Lin Che merely took a look. In all honesty, Lin Che had been a little inattentive yesterday. Even she herself had forgotten what she had bought.

“It probably is.”

Shen Youran said, “In that case, I’m determined not to let that thankless wretch, my sister, take it away. I was nearly swindled into giving it to her.”

Lin Che said, “Why? Did she ask you for it? If she wants it, she should earn money herself and buy it. I went through so much difficulty to deceive Gu Jingze into buying it for me.”

Shen Youran said, “Precisely. I said that you gave it to me. She was extremely envious and even told me to ask if you wanted an a.s.sistant. I said that you didn’t and she said that she was even thinking of coming to your company to apply for a job. It’d be best for you to inform your company. In the event that she comes, be sure not to hire her.”

Yu Minmin said, “Our company is indeed hiring a.s.sistants. But being an a.s.sistant is a very tough job and the salary is not even that much.”

“So she definitely won’t be able to persist. She would merely be looking for trouble. She’s so lazy and greedy too. She’s definitely not a person to do this type of work.”

Yu Minmin smiled and said, “After all, she’s your younger sister. If it’s possible, you can let her come and let her give it a try too.”

“Under no circ.u.mstances should you do that. Lin Che knows this younger sister of mine. My sister is the worst. It will be better to not let her come as it will be a disaster for you.”

Lin Che also nodded in agreement. “Youran definitely won’t stand on ceremony with me. If she says that it’s not good, it’s simply not good.”

Yu Minmin shrugged her shoulders. “In that case, alright. Get yourself ready. We’re going for an interview.”

Shen Youran asked, “Are you going to appear on some program?”

Yu Minmin nodded her head. “Right now, interview programs aren’t very exciting. Everyone is starting to like watching the kind of talk-show interviews produced by the video-hosting websites themselves. The one that we’re going to partic.i.p.ate in is an interview program that uses the talk-show format. It’s one of the shows that got more popular recently. It’s called ‘The Celebrity Show’. A few people will probably partic.i.p.ate in it together.”

“Wow. The Celebrity Show. I watch it at night too. Lin Che, I didn’t expect that you would partic.i.p.ate in this.”

Lin Che said, “Yes.”

Shen Youran face was full of excitement. She followed them as they walked out. “It seems that many celebrities appeared on that program before. In the past, even Gu Jingyu partic.i.p.ated in it before. Mu Feiran also appeared on it before. That Song Shuhai or something from your company also partic.i.p.ated in it before. You’re really a big shot now, to be able to partic.i.p.ate in such a famous program.”

Lin Che said, “That’s enough. All those big names you listed were probably interviewed individually when they appeared on the program. I’m probably going to be interviewed together with many other people. It’s different.”

“Really? Then, you must do your best too. There will definitely come a day when you get interviewed alone too.”

“Haha. Yes. I still have to continue working hard!”

Lin Che followed Yu Minmin with Shen Youran by her side. She saw Yang Lingxin still working over there. Her movements were unexpectedly very dexterous. She was learning from another veteran a.s.sistant and very quickly got used to the work.

Yu Minmin called for her to come along with them as well. She told her to go over to the venue of the talk show with them.

She happily followed behind them as if she had an infinite amount of energy.

Yu Minmin said to Lin Che, “It looks like she’s really a very conscientious and hardworking person.”

“Precisely. Someone whom I choose will definitely not be the wrong choice!”

When the line of people arrived backstage, they could already see a few actors being interviewed together outside. They were all familiar faces. Lin Che had met some of them and not others.

Upon seeing that Lin Che had arrived, someone quickly stood up and invited her into the private dressing room inside. Lin Che smiled at her and went inside. The moment she stepped in, she unexpectedly saw Qin Wanwan already inside.

“Hey, when I first came in, the director told me that you’d be coming. I was still wondering when you’d come.” Qin Wanwan said as she looked at Lin Che and smiled. Her make-up was half-done at the moment.

Lin Che said, “I only came as a last-minute replacement because someone else couldn’t come. I don’t even know who is here today.”

After the two of them sat down, they casually exchanged a few words as they were getting their make-up done together.

Qin Wanwan said, “Recently, that television series of yours is getting really popular. I saw that the viewer ratings have consistently been in first place and it’s really hotly discussed on Weibo.”

Lin Che said, “Online discussions are always ebbing and flowing. When something is popular, everyone discusses it online. After a while, something else gets popular and everyone discusses that instead. Isn’t your movie going to premiere soon?”

“Yes. I came here to get some exposure too. The movie is a thriller film. I don’t know whether or not ticket sales will be any good.”

“The ticket sales will definitely be very good.”

“By the way, did you hear the news? Gu Jingyu is going to film a fantasy blockbuster. They bought the rights to some video game about swordsmen. They’re going to film a blockbuster based on it. I reckon it’s going to be very popular.”

“Oh. I’ve heard about it,” Lin Che said.

Qin Wanwan said, “I wonder who the lead will be. I heard that they haven’t finalized the cast. Why didn’t Gu Jingyu just let you be the lead?”

Lin Che smiled. “Why must he directly let me be the lead? He must look at whether or not the role suits me. If I’m really not suited for it, there’s no point in me acting the role. Senior Jingyu is a person who will take the film seriously. He won’t choose the cast based on social connections.”

“That’s also true.” Qin Wanwan said, “If he wasn’t serious, his reputation wouldn’t have been so good all this while either.”

Someone came in from outside to see how their makeup was coming along. Lin Che had arrived later than Qin Wanwan, but she completed her makeup first. She had always done her makeup very simply; she went in the route of a homebody. Qin Wanwan had to do a little more touching up. Her complexion was slightly poor, probably because she loved going out to have fun at night. Looking at her complexion, it was obvious that it was not as good as Lin Che’s.

Filming for the program began. When the opening theme song started playing, Lin Che and Qin Wanwan were already seated in the main guest seats. A few other small-name actors also sat separately at the side. However, their status was evidently not as good as Lin Che’s and Qin Wanwan’s. The chairs that had been prepared for the two of them were huge round chairs but the chairs that had been given to them were small barstools. This was also a unique characteristic of the program. A few of them knew that they were not as famous as Lin Che and Qin Wanwan. The two of them were known as part of the new generation of the four most famous female celebrities. They were already off to a good start in terms of their reputations. They merely lacked a bit of fire necessary to propel them even further forward.

The host smiled and looked at the few of them before saying, “Today, we have really been graced by the presence of these guests, especially when I look at the two beautiful women sitting here.”

At the side, Lin Che smiled. Right now, she could see Shen Youran and Yu Minmin looking at her with concentration from below the stage.

Shen Youran raised a fist towards her in encouragement.

Lin Che smiled at her in return.

The host chatted for a long time. His main interview subjects were still Lin Che and Qin Wanwan. He looked at Lin Che and Qin Wanwan and said to them, “The two of you are famously known as good friends in the industry. Do the two of you usually meet up too?”

“Yes. We occasionally go out together and sit around. We’re just like ordinary friends. Anyway, when we meet up, we’ll chat about gossip and other topics of that nature,” Qin Wanwan said.

The host asked Qin Wanwan, “What exactly is Lin Che’s personality like in private?”

“She’s very shy and very simple-minded as well.” Qin Wanwan looked at Lin Che and smiled.
