A Spare Tire

The old man adjusted his breathing and sauntered up the stairs.

Interweaving Night’s production team!

With a shout, “Cut! After this round, Yiyi is done filming!”

The production team staff and the other actors applauded. Jian Yiyi’s last scene was over and she had successfully wrapped up filming!

As the third female lead, she did not have many scenes. However, during the filming process, because the director and Chu Lingfeng had recognized Jian Yiyi’s acting skills, some scenes were added for Jian Yiyi during the script revision process. She basically acted until the end of the movie because before long, they could wrap the entire movie up.

Jian Yiyi felt relieved. Although she was talented in acting, this was her first time acting in a movie. Even if she acted calmly, she was still nervous from the beginning.

Now that she heard the words ‘Yiyi is done filming,’ she finally relaxed. It was as if her entire body had been instantly hollowed out.

“Yiyi, congratulations on successfully completing the filming!”

Her manager, Brother Jie, was the first to rush up with a gift specially prepared for Jian Yiyi. “This is for you. Merry Christmas!”

Jian Yiyi looked at the gift Brother Jie handed her in surprise. She was stunned for a moment before reaching out to take it. She smiled. “Thank you, Brother Jie!”

When she first entered the production team, Jian Yiyi was in a relaxed state all because Brother Jie placed almost ninety percent of his energy on Yuan Guang, another artist under Brother Jie, who was a newcomer supported by the company and the lead of the movie.

Only Jian Yiyi would look for him when she had something on. He rarely took the initiative to ask about Jian Yiyi.

However, after a few months of filming, as a professional manager in the entertainment circle, Brother Jie quickly discovered Jian Yiyi’s huge potential based on how the director kept giving her more scenes and her entire condition.

Therefore, recently, Brother Jie had been more concerned about Jian Yiyi. Knowing that today was her last filming, he especially bought her a gift.

Brother Jie had a feeling that Jian Yiyi would become famous in the future.

“Yiyi, congratulations!”

“You acted so well, Yiyi. You can finally heave a sigh of relief!”

“That’s right. You’re finally done filming. Remember to treat us before leaving!”

When she returned to the side of the court, some seniors and staff of the production team surrounded her. Although Xia Qinghuan didn’t like Jian Yiyi, the others didn’t know her well. Jian Yiyi was best at pretending. The entire filming period gave people the feeling that she was beautiful, obedient, and had good acting skills. Therefore, most of the production team liked her.

Jian Yiyi smiled and enjoyed everyone’s attention. She answered everyone’s words one by one. Everyone gradually dispersed when the next scene started.

The smile on her face was a little stiff. Jian Yiyi sighed and sat down at the side of the court. She looked at the Christmas gift Brother Jie gave her. It was a boxy and exquisite packaging. Jian Yiyi didn’t need to open it to know that it was a bottle of perfume.

She pursed her lips slightly. Compared to Brother Jie’s gift, she wanted Brother Jie’s attention more. It would be best if she could get the company to assign her a few assistants.

Even if she could not reach Xia Qinghuan’s level, it did not matter. One assistant was fine.

“Yiyi…”

At this moment, Wang Mingxiao ran over again.

Hearing this voice, Jian Yiyi already had a conditioned reflex because she would hear Wang Mingxiao call her ‘Yiyi, Yiyi’ countless times every day.

Even if Jian Yiyi lost her sight one day, she would recognize Wang Mingxiao by his voice immediately.

In the next second, Jian Yiyi smiled and faced Wang Mingxiao. “Mingxiao!”

“Yiyi, congratulations on wrapping up!” Wang Mingxiao’s eyes were as bright as stars when he saw Jian Yiyi. There was a smile on his handsome face. As he spoke, he handed over the gift he had prepared. “This is for you. I hope you like it!”

“There’s a gift?” Jian Yiyi pretended to be surprised. She knew very well what kind of reaction would move Wang Mingxiao, who liked her so much.

As expected, seeing Jian Yiyi’s surprise, Wang Mingxiao became confident and said happily, “That’s right. You can treat it as a Christmas gift or a gift for wrapping up!”

“Thank you!” Jian Yiyi smiled and took it carefully.

Then, she turned around and picked up a gift bag. She turned around and handed it to Wang Mingxiao. “This is for you. Merry Christmas!”

Wang Mingxiao was stunned. His stunned gaze was filled with disbelief at a visible speed. He looked at Jian Yiyi and said excitedly, “This… this is for me?”

“Of course. I only prepared a Christmas gift for you in the entire production team because you’re the best friend I’ve made in the past few months.” Jian Yiyi smiled and said, “Thank you for taking care of and accompanying me during this period. Thank you, Mingxiao!”

Wang Mingxiao looked at Jian Yiyi’s smile and felt his blood boil. His eyes couldn’t help but turn red. It was unknown if he was excited or touched.

Everyone in the production team probably knew that he liked Jian Yiyi. He believed that Jian Yiyi also knew. Now that Jian Yiyi only prepared a gift for him, did it prove that he had a different position in her heart?

Not that Wang Mingxiao was overthinking, but Jian Yiyi’s rank was too scheming. She knew when to do what such that one would think in a specific manner.

Wang Mingxiao’s conditions were not bad, and he might become a big star in the future, but Jian Yiyi knew too well what she wanted. Wang Mingxiao was just a spare tire to her. He was a spare tire that she could manipulate occasionally, and he would never become an official.

Wang Mingxiao’s reaction was enough to explain everything. It was just a gift. Why was he so agitated?

The smile on Jian Yiyi’s face was harmless and gentle, but her thoughts were rich beyond imagination.

Not far away, Xia Qinghuan was exchanging lines with Du Wei. The two of them saw Jian Yiyi and Wang Mingxiao’s interaction at the same time. Although they were far away and couldn’t hear what the two of them were talking about, it didn’t seem difficult to guess the content just by looking at the development of the matter.

“Girls nowadays are amazing,” Du Wei said with a meaningful expression.

Xia Qinghuan was much more straightforward. She immediately rolled her eyes. “That’s why the way girls and boys look at girls are completely different. However, these two people are amazing. One of them is of an extremely high rank among the girls, and the other is of an extremely low rank among the boys. They already determined the direction of the story from the beginning!”
