three

Opportunities are a good thing, as long as the person involved is not Du Mo. I really don't want to be remembered by his brainless fans! Xu Qingying thought to herself while touching her phone. It hasn't even been three hours yet; should I send Xu Wanqiao a text to show off a little? Without him, it seems like I'm doing quite well on my own

What are you doing? I still have to go for an interview later, so please don't make me retouch my makeup again

Sister Xingxing delivered another direct hit, causing Xu Qingying's palms to break out in a sweat

The brightly lit studio is filled with large white reflectors, with no other arrangements, only a large green curtain serving as the background. Considering the needs for post-production effects, they can only perform without any physical props.

After arriving at the television station, Xu Qingying managed to catch an hour of sleep in the lounge with great difficulty, and before she was fully awake, she was called up by Peng Peng.

What is the use of envy? Who made Qingying the face of the matter? Perhaps it was Jinbei who asked him to find Qingying in the past

Xu Qingying instinctively nodded in agreement. Indeed, Wang Anqi sometimes cannot attend rehearsals due to magazine shoots, but whenever she has free time, she will appear in the practice room. At the company, she often rehearses while still wearing heavy makeup that she hasn't had the chance to remove.

Xu Qingying seemed to have found her anchor, and miraculously relaxed. She suddenly smiled gently in the direction of the camera, and the sweetness radiating from her smile could be felt even through the screen, let alone by those present at the scene

Xu Qingying remained silent, yet the overwhelming emotions surged towards her like a tidal wave, for she too did not understand why her ordinary self had been chosen as the face of the group, why she had been pushed to the forefront.

"Yes, yes, didn't Miss Qingying dream of becoming an actress since she was little? This is truly a great opportunity" Xu Wanqiao reached out to ruffle her hair, but she tilted her head to avoid it

Is the filming going smoothly

The moment the door was closed, the lounge erupted in chaos

It seems that the relationship within your group is very harmonious. I see that all four of you have distinct characteristics, and the face of your combination is... Xu Qingying, right? She is the one chosen by Du Mo to be the lead actress in the advertisement. Please come and introduce yourself to us so we can see what charm you possess.

The next moment, Jin Bei's words dispelled her thoughts: "Originally, it was expected to take three hours, but now we are finishing early. We will proceed to the next schedule—going to the television station. You can go to the lounge to rest for a while and wait to meet with Peng Peng and the other members."

Alright, alright, I understand. Why are you acting like a nagging mother?

The sudden white light sweeping over directly illuminated them, and Xu Qingying, sitting in the front row, felt somewhat unable to open her eyes. Countless cameras stood densely below the stage like black holes, with the staff either standing or sitting closely together, appearing to outnumber the members of the group.

The familiar scene of banter, combined with Xu Wanqiao's affectionate smile, finally put Xu Qingying's heart at ease

Xu Wanqiao gently pulled her out of his embrace, forcibly lifting her hand. Indeed, there were deep and shallow nail marks on her palm, some of which had even oozed blood

He is actually just a butterfly, isn't he?" Qing Ying couldn't help but rub her forehead, truly a troublemaker

On the other side, Xu Wanqiao, who had arrived at a secluded corner with Xu Qingying, looked at his broad shoulders and couldn't help but reach out to tug at his sleeve. Without turning his head, Xu Wanqiao directly took her hand, and he did not let go until they reached the corner of the building.

Hello everyone, we are Pinkgirls

Because I am worried about you, you fool. This sentence was not spoken by Xu Wanqiao

This shot was taken exceptionally well, and our filming for today has concluded. With the director's words, what was initially thought to take a long time was completed in less than two hours. The director seemed very satisfied with the final product, and his gaze towards Xu Qingying and Su Miaona was filled with approval

Still standing, Xu Qingying nervously touched her pleated skirt, then mustered her courage to raise her head, only to unexpectedly see someone by the camera—Xu Wanqiao

Xu Qingying still felt somewhat stiff, offering him a smile while repeatedly hypnotizing herself in her mind: This is actually Xu Wanjiao's face! Xu Wanjiao's face!

Peng Peng patted Xu Qingying to offer comfort, and Xu Qingying forced a smile.

May I ask if Xu Qingying is present

Xu Qingying's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but slightly bite her peach blossom-like lower lip with her teeth. She was very nervous, so nervous that she felt somewhat dazed

The spotlight shining from a distance focused on her, and before her eyes, there was nothing but a blur of white; all that remained in her ears was the buzzing sound of machinery, which made it impossible for her to concentrate.

Peng Peng took the opportunity to respond and also praised Sister Xingxing

Sister Xingxing felt that her smile was very comforting, and she once again directed the conversation towards her.

You flatter me excessively

Did he come over because he is not at ease with himself

Subsequently, after Jin Bei finished discussing the script with everyone, he went out to have the final communication with the director team. As soon as he left, the lounge fell into an awkward silence

Now I will assign the seating arrangements. Wang Anqi, Su Miaona, Xu Qingying, and Peng Peng, you four will sit in the first row, while the others will be seated scattered in the back. Everyone need not worry about the camera, as the seating is tiered, and the camera will definitely capture everyone.

We all know that although Pinkgirls debuted not long ago, each member has been developing well. I heard that Wang Anqi has almost become the exclusive model for "Jia Ren", so her training time will likely be reduced

Is it acceptable for you to skip work?

Xu Qingying was somewhat distracted, as the shadow of her last participation in a variety show had not yet dissipated. She feared that if she did not perform well this time, it would cause trouble for the group. Therefore, when Sister Xingxing began to ask questions, she merely tried to maintain a smile, waiting for the captain Peng Peng or Su Miaona to respond.

A remark made everyone present unable to hold back their laughter, and Xu Wanqiao quietly gave her a thumbs up

"Well done! Even Sister Xingxing praised you." Xu Wanqiao whispered gently in her ear, the warm breath making her feel a tickling sensation

I said, with our Du Mo around, it will definitely be taken care of. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave first, as the crew is waiting for our Du Mo to go over the script

Xu Qingying rushed straight into his embrace, drawing in the familiar warmth emanating from him

Xu Qingying suddenly stood up, smiling a bit nervously at Sister Xingxing, a hint of shyness and helplessness inadvertently revealed

Everyone, please wake up. We are about to record the highly-rated talk show "Star Words and Wishes." Everyone must be fully alert. If anyone makes a mistake, it could be tomorrow's headline in the newspaper

Du Mo seemed to sense her discomfort, gently pulling her into his embrace, and then guiding her to wrap her arm, the one wearing the watch, around him, making the watch more prominent

Knowing the truth, Peng Peng and Wang Anqi tacitly chose not to speak. Qing Ying's childhood friend was indeed too conspicuous; the team members already had concerns due to the facade issue, and if any further complications arose, it would become even more troublesome

"Fool, you always act like this when you're nervous. How come you haven't changed this habit since childhood?" Xu Wanqiao felt a bit heartbroken, but unfortunately, there was no first aid kit at hand. "I'll apply some medicine for you when we get back. I've already mentioned it to Jin Bei in advance."

Welcome to "Star Language and Star Wishes," I am your host, Xingxing. Today, our guest is the newly debuted large female group Pinkgirls from Qiuyuan Company, who are actually the junior sisters of the national heartthrob Du Mo! Let's give them a warm welcome!

Xu Qingying regarded this as a test of her acting skills, earnestly portraying a pure and beautiful young girl according to the director's requirements

Hearing the sound, Xu Wanqiao turned around to look at Xu Qingying, who was running towards her, and opened her arms wide

Indeed, if it weren't for the employee badge, I would have thought he was some kind of celebrity. Why did they specifically choose Qingying? I am so envious!

The originally frivolous Du Mo seemed to have a switch, instantly retracting his playful demeanor the moment the camera started rolling. Following the script, he smiled as he took Xu Qingying's hand and gently put the season's featured watch on her wrist.

Oh my, the television station has such handsome employees?

Jin Bei did not pay much attention and simply said: "This is the company's decision. The four of them joined the company the earliest and received more training than you all. In the future, when Pinkgirls becomes popular, everyone will have a chance"

I am here to talk to you about this interview. Xu Wanqiao expressed some concern, "Qingying, Sister Xingxing is very nice, she is a typical example of a sharp tongue but a soft heart. However, she dislikes it when others beat around the bush and places great importance on your attitude towards the interview. So when you go on stage later, you must remain calm and definitely cannot go off track or show any emotions"

Qing Ying, when you encounter questions you cannot answer, just smile and let Peng Peng or Su Miao Na handle it. I guess Jin Bei will also discuss with the director offstage. They will say that everything must be considered carefully in advance, and one must never leave others with any handle to grasp.

Xu Wanqiao, you really should take a look; the director praised me at that time, and I also think I performed quite well

Angel is truly eloquent, it seems she has great confidence in the company. However, I have heard that with so many members in your group, it is inevitable that there may be some imbalances in resource allocation. It appears that the four individuals sitting in the front are the company's favored members, is that correct

As everyone on stage bowed to thank all the staff, Xu Qingying noticed Xu Wanjiao making a gesture to go outside. After everything concluded and she reported to Jin Beibei, she left the studio to find him in the place where they had talked earlier.

In the distance, that graceful figure appeared in sight, and Xu Qingying could not help but run over quickly

It felt as if only a few seconds had passed, yet it also seemed like several minutes had gone by. She fell into a daze, but the terrible memories from the last time at the television station surged back, constantly reminding her not to get into trouble again. At this moment, she could only tightly clench her fists, digging her nails into her flesh. The pain forced her wandering thoughts to focus, as if she had suddenly regained her senses, and she finally saw clearly the figure of Sister Xing, who was wearing glasses and had an unusual gaze.

Xu Qingying, who had been shirking her responsibilities and not looking at the itinerary, was somewhat taken aback. An interview? Oh my, would I, who cannot speak in a formal manner, be pushed out again?

The performance of the two individuals greatly satisfied the director in front of the monitor

After changing into his clothes, Du Mo put on his sunglasses again. He nodded in response to Jackson's words, but as he was about to step outside, he suddenly turned around and waved at Xu Qingying from a distance, which elicited a chorus of screams before he left with satisfaction

As a rich voice, akin to that of a cello, resonated, Sweet Sweet found herself momentarily dazed. Unconsciously, she opened the door a bit wider, allowing him to see the scene in the lounge: "Yes, please wait a moment."

You are too cunning

The closest to the door, Tiantian opened it and found a tall, unfamiliar young man standing outside. He was dressed in a dark blue shirt paired with dress pants, his attire casual yet refined. A white employee badge hung from the front of his shirt, indicating that he was likely a staff member from the television station

I will do my best. Previously, I only felt that her words were sharp, but I am not clear on the specifics

This time, Xu Qingying did not shy away and successfully completed her self-introduction: "I am Xu Qingying from Pinkgirls, serving as the visual in our recently released album 'Party'. Please pay more attention to our group; besides me, there are many other beautiful members!"

Xu Wanqiao, thank you for being by my side in every moment when I needed warmth

"Of course, don't you see who I am!" Xu Qingying said proudly

This moved Sister Xing, who has seen countless people in the entertainment industry, as it had been a long time since she had witnessed such genuine emotions. She sighed and helped Xu Qingying smooth things over: "Indeed, she is still a young girl, which reminds Sister Xing of her younger self."

Her complaints went unheard, for at that moment, Jin Bei was laughing so hard that his eyes were nearly closed: "Qing Ying performed very well this time, not at all like someone who is filming an advertisement for the first time. Miao Na did well too. The director is very satisfied with you both, and it seems there will be opportunities for collaboration in the future."

Xu Qingying smiled shyly and nodded blankly

The subsequent interview went much more smoothly. At the end, Sister Xingxing even patted Xu Qingying on the shoulder and said, "The young girl is quite good, don't be nervous, Sister Xingxing won't eat you."

Xu Qingying nodded. In that case, will she also see Xu Wanqiao?

Indeed, who made us the four oldest and the earliest to join the company? If we don't achieve results soon, we might be directly overshadowed by the younger generation on the beach. " Peng Peng replied to this question with a hint of teasing, indirectly pointing out the fact that they are the senior trainees, which is also an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry: seniors must earn the respect of their juniors

Wang Anqi, who was called out, raised a smile. The smoky makeup from her recent magazine shoot had not yet been changed, and the heavy false eyelashes made her gaze appear somewhat dreamy. However, her words were precise: "Sister Xingxing was joking. I just finished shooting the cover and am also rushing to your program, right? Time is always squeezed out, and I believe our agent Jin Bei has the ability to coordinate everything well."

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the door

It's fine, I have interned here before, and they all know me. Moreover, the specific program groups have not been assigned yet, so skipping work won't be noticed.

But in that case... wouldn't there be no close-ups?" A girl with twin ponytails standing next to Tiantian expressed her dissatisfaction. She glanced at Xu Qingying, who was beside Peng Peng, and said, "As for the music video, that's fine, but why can't we be given some opportunities for shows, advertisements, and interviews?"

Looking into her blazing gaze, Xu Qingying felt somewhat overwhelmed

As soon as the door was pushed open, Xu Qingying had already seen Xu Wanjiao. She quickly walked over and followed Xu Wanjiao out.
