Nothing much has changed since the completion of ‘Empire Under Siege’. Most if not, all of the crew members that worked in the previous project could still be found here.

A lot of them walked up to greet Gu Xiqiao the moment she arrived at the filming studio.

“I see you didn’t bring Xixi out today, Little Gu,” said Xu Qing as she peered down at Haha who was chilling out in Gu Xiqiao’s arms. She couldn’t stop herself from reaching out and giving its fluffy body a good poke. Haha, being the cute and lovable dog, allowed her to play with it as much as she wanted. “Isn’t this the pet from your post on Weibo?”

“Yup, this is it.” Gu Xiqiao nodded. “Xixi’s not at home today. I was worried that Haha would be bored out of its mind so I’m bringing it along with me.”

“Haha?” Xu Qing was momentarily taken aback. It took her awhile to register that that was the name of this white dog.

She muttered to herself quietly before looking up at Gu Xiqiao with the corner of her mouth twitching. Her naming sense was bizarre. Though, because Gu Xiqiao was a person whom she deeply admired, Xu Qing refrained from pointing this strange phenomenon out.

Li Yu, who had just wrapped up his scene smiled unabashedly at Gu Xiqiao.

Realizing the two leads had now completed their scenes, Xu Qing went off immediately to re-apply makeup on their faces.

It’s great to work with experienced actors. Cheng Zhou spent little time trying to direct them; most of the time, it was left to the veterans themselves to coordinate their steps. The two movie stars would take off immediately after they started discussing amongst themselves, meaning that Cheng Zhou would always be removed from the equation.

“She… is she the one who acted out the scenes with Li Yu perfectly?” Old Liu seemed a little skeptical about Gu Xiqiao, who was acting all buddy-buddy with the film crew.

She was indeed beautiful but she’s way too young, wasn’t she? She seemed younger than Ning Qing even.

Still, she seemed to be well-acquainted with everyone working here. Surprisingly, even Li Yu wasn’t as popular among his co-workers as she was right now.

Cheng Zhou glanced at Old Liu before sighing. “Just wait till you see her act. Then, you’ll know what this pain is. This pain that only Xiang Kun understands.”

“What does she have to do with Mr. Xiang?” Old Liu was even more puzzled now. Wasn’t Xiang Kun a manager?

“I can’t explain it in great detail but you just need to know that Xiang Kun has been secretly trying to drag that girl into our industry. This is the first time I’ve seen him being so obsessed about someone else.” Cheng Zhou gritted his teeth. If Xiang Kun was so eager to work with her, why not Cheng Zhou?

Old Liu was aware of Xiang Kun’s unrivaled fame. He was shocked after hearing what Cheng Zhou had to say. “Xiang Kun’s planning to bring her into entertainment?”

His understanding of Xiang Kun was the reason why Old Liu was even more shocked. That man was notorious for how high he set the bar. If not for that, he wouldn’t have created so many A-list celebrities in the past. To say that Xiang Kun was obsessed with getting someone into showbiz was simply incomprehensible to Old Liu. Perhaps Cheng Zhou had exaggerated it too much?

Cheng Zhou smirked after noticing Old Liu’s facial expression. “I assume you have not watched the teaser for ‘Empire Under Siege’?”

If he had watched it, he would not have had that look on his face.
