Chapter 265 Special Tutoring
Outside the lounge, the actors who were originally preparing to watch the play were now all frozen in the corridor.
Yang Mi was leaning against the corridor, and the small fan she was holding had been turned off.
She turned to look at Lin Xinru, her tone full of absurdity:
"Sister Xinru, is my makeup too light today?"
"When Mr. Gao walked in just now, he didn't even give me a proper look, he just walked right past me like I wasn't there?"
Lin Xinru gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with shock:
"Don't even mention you. I just greeted her, and Mr. Li actually complained that I was blocking his way to see 'Goddess Bai Zhi'."
"Why are these usually shrewd and calculating big shots all grinning like old men from the next village?"
Other child actors who joined in the fun weren't much better off.
His eyes had shifted from initial surprise to deep apprehension and a gossipy fire of "I get it now."
"No wonder..."
A young girl playing a palace maid lowered her voice, her tone sarcastic.
"No wonder Director Yu treated her so well, not only giving her a private dressing room but also changing the entire crew's schedule to accommodate her schedule. So that's why..."
Shh! Keep your voice down!
Another young actor quickly covered her mouth, his eyes filled with awe.
"This isn't just ordinary flattery; look at the way these CEOs are treating her like a princess!"
"We'll never even get our hands on resources of this level in our lifetime."
"Tsk tsk, Jiang Baizhi's background is probably going to shake the entire Beijing entertainment circle."
Although the murmurs were soft, they were unusually clear in the eerily quiet corridor.
He Shengming stood at the back of the crowd, looking at Jiang Bai who was being fawned over, his eyes filled with a mixture of admiration and pressure.
"Her brother is involved in organized crime, so these investors probably know Ms. Bai Zhi's brother too."
"Her brother... Jiang Bai? He really has a lot of influence!"
.......
Inside the lounge.
The place was already a bit crowded due to the sudden intrusion of this group of old Dengs.
The air was filled with the scents of expensive tobacco and high-end perfumes.
Just after General Manager Gao of Qianda Real Estate took a photo with Jiang Bai, his usually ruthless face in the business world was now smiling like a chrysanthemum that had been wilted by the sun.
And just then...
With his sharp eyes, he immediately spotted the four empty lunch boxes from the film crew on the table.
"Miss Baizhi, did you eat this food?"
Mr. Gao asked tentatively, his tone full of the affection of a loving father.
Seeing this, Jiang Bai lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Uncle. I... I've been working a lot filming lately, so I did eat a little too much. I didn't feel very full just now."
"What? You're still not full?!"
Mr. Gao was completely enraged. He whirled around to look at Yu Zheng, who was cowering by the door, and his voice was so loud it nearly shook the chandelier off:
"Xiao Yu! What kind of director are you? Do you think we're short of money for food on this show?"
"You're letting our precious daughter of China eat this kind of bland, low-quality boxed lunch here? And you're letting her go hungry?!"
Yu Zheng wiped away a cold sweat, inwardly groaning in despair.
Good heavens! One meal of hers is equivalent to three days' worth of food for others. Even if I owned a restaurant, I'd be afraid she'd eat me out of house and home!
Faced with the wrath of his sugar daddy, Yu Zheng could only nod and bow.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault, my negligence!"
"Xiao Yu, this is for you!"
General Manager Gao waved his hand at Yu Zheng and pulled out a check with great magnanimity.
"Starting tomorrow, the entire crew's meal allowance will be tripled!"
"The fee will be deducted directly from my additional investment!"
"Let's give Teacher Baizhi a special private meal, with air-flown seafood and top-quality steak every day!"
"Also, I've booked the entire Kyoto Hotel tonight for a special banquet for Professor Bai Zhi. Nobody can take it from me!"
The words fell.
Yu Zheng was stunned.
The entire cast and crew, including the actors and stagehands who were just watching the drama unfold, were dumbfounded.
The small fan that Yang Mi was holding stopped.
She turned to look at Lin Xinru, her tone full of absurdity:
"Sister Xinru, did you hear that? The investors are adding more funding... because they think the third female lead didn't eat enough?"
Lin Xinru gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with shock:
"Don't even mention you. I've been in this industry for twenty years, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone invest more money because of the food."
Here.
Jiang Bai heard words like "three times", "special treatment", and "seafood and steak".
My eyes lit up instantly.
His previously aloof gaze instantly became extremely sincere and gentle, practically radiating golden light.
"Chief! Did you hear that? This is the power of capital!"
"Yu Zheng just increased my lunch portion, but these old guys are giving me special treatment!"
Jiang Bai was overwhelmed with emotion. Looking at the group of old men who had taken such good care of him, he suddenly felt a pang of conscience.
Since they're being so generous, we should reciprocate in kind.
Since this group of old men came because he sings well.
Well then, let's sing a song in return.
"I really don't know how to thank all the uncles and elders for their kindness."
Jiang Bai slowly stood up, lifting her long Hanfu skirt, and amidst the puzzled gazes of the group of old men, revealed a sweet smile that could purify the entire film studio:
"How about... Bai Zhi sings a song for all of you uncles and elders right here?"
Consider it a token of my gratitude.
boom--!
The air in the lounge seemed to boil over in that instant.
"A cappella?! Hearing Bai Zhi sing live?!"
"Oh my god, my life has been worth it!"
The big spenders who originally wanted to show off their big boss status now looked like a group of children lining up to receive fruit in kindergarten.
Each person took two steps back in perfect unison.
Some were adjusting their suits, while others were quietly rubbing their faces, their eyes gleaming with fervor as they stared intently at Jiang Bai.
This was the first time Jiang Bai had been surrounded by so many old men, but he wasn't afraid.
Take a deep breath, and the heavenly voice and superb singing skills instantly flow through your body.
With a slight tilt of her head, Zhang Yan's melancholy blended with her sweetness, creating a unique charm that transcended time and space!
