Chapter 57 Taking Office as Assistant!
Chapter 57 Taking Office as Assistant!
As Jiang Zhaoyue approached the practice room early in the morning, she was immediately met with several pairs of eyes staring at her as soon as she opened the door.
"What's wrong? I'm not late!"
Seeing the strange looks from her teammates, Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
"Xiaoyue, didn't you see the video your production team posted?"
Upon seeing this, a girl's voice revealed a hint of strangeness.
"What video?"
"Xu An posted another video??"
"Didn't he go to be Bai Ge's assistant???"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue was taken aback, but then instantly understood.
"Yeah, you caught two paparazzi on your first day as an assistant, Zhaoyue, your on-screen couples are something else!" another girl said with a grin.
"What do you mean, 'catch the paparazzi'?"
"He and I are not a couple at all!"
Hearing the previous part, Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes were still a little confused. When she heard that she and Xu An were a couple, she blushed and loudly refuted it.
Immediately, seemingly worried that her teammates would bring it up again, Jiang Zhaoyue quickly took out her phone.
"I want to see what kind of video he posted!"
I just logged into the account and found that the latest video was posted less than an hour ago, but it has already been viewed over a million times.
The video title is also quite interesting.
—Former assistant.
Upon opening the video, a dense barrage of comments immediately comes into view.
Let's do it one more time!
[This is hilarious! These fat and thin paparazzi are really creating amazing entertainment.]
[Is this really a real recording? Or is it staged? It's too abstract!]
I could never dream of a plot like this.
Jiang Zhaoyue was able to see the video content after partially blocking out the comments. As the video played, the opening scene made her large, watery eyes widen instantly.
Who is this?
Why does he look a bit like Xu An, but not quite?
Fortunately, the comments section answered her question.
[Friendly reminder: This is what Xu An looks like after makeup!]
He can even do makeup?!
Oh no, I've discovered his makeup skills might be better than mine, the makeup artist!
[Could this be something he learned while working part-time in college?]
If Xu An's use of makeup was still within Jiang Zhaoyue's acceptable range, then the subsequent plot developments truly exceeded her expectations, and her rosy lips couldn't help but gradually widen.
[I have some dirt on this that I'm selling, but it's too abstract; who could handle reading that?!]
[There's a mole. Terminate the deal. Oh, the mole is me. Never mind then.]
[On my first day in office, I slew my female boss!]
The reasons given by the fat and thin paparazzi later made Jiang Zhaoyue a little flustered.
What does it mean to be a die-hard fan of Sister Bai Ge?
Should Sister Bai Ge always belong to you fans?
Thinking back to how Xu Anlian didn't even know what Bai Ge studied in college on the show before, and now he's pretending to be a die-hard fan of Bai Ge, it makes me want to laugh.
She was actually fooled by the two paparazzi, and the conversation between the two paparazzi and Xu An when they went to the alley to make the transaction made Jiang Zhaoyue's delicate face look very strange.
The comments section was even funnier.
Why could Xu An tell you were from Chengdu at a glance? It's so hard to guess!
That full beard, that round face, those small eyes—the essential features are all there!
Don't you think it's cute?
[Chicken feet are showing up upstairs.]
The chubby paparazzi's curiosity about Xu An's appearance further amplified the show's entertainment value.
[Well, you do look a bit like Xu An!]
How did Xu An manage to keep quiet when he said he went to get plastic surgery?
[I can testify, it was definitely plastic surgery, and it's been the same doctor for twenty years!]
That's called midwifery!
Jiang Zhaoyue laughed heartily as she looked at the barrage of witty comments, took a screenshot, and sent it to someone.
"Quick, quick, introduce your plastic surgeon!"
Seeing that the person labeled "Hot Pot Bad Guy" didn't reply immediately, Jiang Zhaoyue wasn't in a hurry and continued watching the video.
At this moment, Xu An and the fat and thin paparazzi had already entered the alley, and the two sides were discussing the price.
The chubby paparazzi said earnestly:
"Brother, although you look very friendly, let's keep things separate. In our line of work, profit comes first."
"How about this, I'll give you a discount, how about a 30/70 split?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An was taken aback.
"How come it's only 70%?"
"Seventy percent of it is ours!"
The skinny paparazzi's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
The chubby paparazzi beside him nodded, and seeing Xu An's hesitant expression, explained:
"Brother, we also have to take risks. If the dirt can't be sold, we'll be stuck with it."
"And you've only provided a few photos, brother. To be honest, if this community weren't so well-guarded, we non-residents wouldn't be able to get in, and we wouldn't need to cooperate with you at all."
The chubby paparazzi's words amused many viewers.
[Haha, so you're already trying to lower the price?]
The current economic climate is bad; even paparazzi aren't willing to spend more money.
[Giving only 30%? That's outrageous! I'm already furious.]
[A 30% return is already pretty good; you might not get a single penny working on projects at your regular job!]
Seeing the two of them playing good cop and bad cop, Xu An smiled.
"So, you're saying my dirty laundry makes me a beggar on my knees?"
Upon hearing this, the skinny paparazzi sneered.
"If that's your logic, then selling dirt on people is really like begging on your knees. Even so, we don't accept just any dirt. Many people want to beg, but they don't have the connections!"
Xu An shook his head and took out the community access card from his pocket.
"Can this make money?"
"Okay, but you have to cooperate with us!" The skinny paparazzi nodded.
"If we add this, will we be able to earn a little more?"
Xu An took a card out of his pocket.
"hiss!"
"A work ID from Baige Company?"
"Hey bro, you actually infiltrated Bai Ge's company?"
"May I ask what position you hold?"
The chubby paparazzi glanced at the card, gasped, and exclaimed in shock.
"I am Xu An, Bai Ge's new assistant!"
Fat paparazzi: ? ? ?
Skinny paparazzi: ? ? ?
"Sorry, gentlemen!"
Xu An clasped his hands in a fist salute, then stepped back, bringing the community security team, who had been lying in ambush around him, to his front.
Looking at the paparazzi, who were surrounded by a crowd, their expressions shifting from bewilderment to realization, and finally to disbelief, Xu An wore a sorrowful expression.
"I'm sorry, I want to be a good person!"
The video ends here.
The barrage of comments exploded.
Hahaha, this is hilarious! Did you guys see the expressions on those two paparazzi's faces?
What the hell do you mean by "surprise"?!
[No, this conversation is hilarious, it's making me laugh so hard I'm numb.]
[Why does this feel like reading a wish-fulfillment novel? Xu An's revelation of his identity was like the return of the Dragon King.]
[It's not just similar, it's completely the same, okay? Look, isn't his mouth pressed down?]
Jiang Zhaoyue also looked puzzled after watching the video.
No wonder this video got so many views, the program was so entertaining.
But this was a real recording, not staged, and the expressions on the faces of those two paparazzi at the end were so vivid.
What's wrong with Xu An's head?
How can catching a paparazzi cause so much trouble?
Thinking this, Jiang Zhaoyue realized that Xu An hadn't replied to her message yet, which made her a little puzzled.
Are you still half asleep?
As she was thinking this, she saw a comment on the screen.
[By the way, it seems Bai Ge is going to participate in a movie promotion event today, which I heard will be broadcast live. I wonder if Xu An will be there?]
