While Chen Jiajia was frying duck intestines and tripe, she said to Xia Qingqian, "Yes, the news is absolutely true. When I was on the set last week, I heard President Ji and Director Ning talking about this in a corner. Director Ning told President Ji that they would hold open auditions for the main roles, including the male and female protagonists, and President Ji agreed."

Xia Qingqian raised her eyebrows. She had never dared to think about being the heroine, but if she could participate, even if it was a small supporting role, she would be willing to do so. After all, it was the novel she had been following all those years.

"I don't know when the news will be announced." Xia Qingqian said as if talking to herself.

"I don't know about that... I was scared to death that day. I was packing my things in the corner of the dressing room when someone suddenly opened the door and came in. The two of them started talking about such confidential things. I didn't dare to come out. Fortunately, they left after just a few words, otherwise I would have been dead if they were discovered." Chen Jiajia still felt a little scared when she mentioned what happened that day.

Xia Qingqian laughed as she watched her pat her chest in fear. But if she was at the scene and accidentally overheard the conversation between the big guys, she would probably be scared too, because these two people have bad tempers.

"But Qianqian, since it's an open audition, you have a chance. I support you to get the leading female role." Chen Jiajia made exaggerated gestures to cheer Xia Qingqian on.

Xia Qingqian smiled and stuffed a piece of tender beef into her mouth. "Come on, do you think it's that simple? I don't even dare to think about being the female lead. I would be so happy to be able to participate in the show."

Chen Jiajia smiled and replied, "How do you know if you don't try?" Although she said that, she was a little bit lacking in confidence. Both of them understood the rules of the entertainment industry. Although it was an open audition, they didn't know how many people would be squeezed in, especially the male and female protagonists, who would probably be decided internally. The open audition might just be a formality, and if there was really a suitable one or two supporting roles, it would be enough.

The two chatted about some gossip in the circle. The lunch lasted almost two hours. Chen Jiajia returned to the company. After Xia Qingqian separated from Chen Jiajia, she searched the map on her mobile phone and went directly to the largest vegetable market near Ji Fengfan Apartment. The first meal of the night had to be prepared well.

Xia Qingqian spent almost an hour in the market, buying seafood, beef, chicken, vegetables and condiments, so many bags that she couldn't carry them at all. Finally, she had an idea and bought a folding shopping cart with wheels from the store next to the market, and then she took away several bags of food.

She pulled the cart to the bottom of Ji Fengfan's apartment building. The security guard was very impressed with her last time. When he saw her carrying so many ingredients, he really thought she was an errand girl.

"Little girl, you're here to deliver goods again. Which household did you order from? I'll contact the owner for you." The security guard said to her enthusiastically.

Xia Qingqian pulled the cart and went to the steps next to her. "Hey, uncle, look for room 3201. I'm not a deliveryman. I'm actually... Mr. Ji's assistant. Yes, his assistant. Sometimes I buy things for him and send them over." Xia Qingqian thought about it and told the security guard that she was Ji Fengfan's assistant. After all...if she really had to cook for Ji Fengfan for a month, she would definitely buy things and bring them over often.

If she was an assistant, it would make sense why she always appeared here.

"So you're the assistant." The security guard took a look at the things in the cart and looked at Xia Qingqian with some sympathy. "It's not easy to do your job now. You have to buy flowers and vegetables for the boss. You must be working hard, little girl."

"Hehe, it's not hard at all. The reason is... the salary is high." Xia Qingqian said with a smile.

Think about that one million, it’s just cooking a few meals, what’s the hard part?

"That's right. Nowadays, any job is hard. If you want to make money, you have to be able to endure hardship. Come on, little girl." At this time, a car was about to go out, so the security guard returned to his job.

After a while, Xia Qingqian had just rearranged the things in the cart when she looked up and saw Ji Fengfan's car driving in. She quickly stood up and waved in the direction of the car with a smile.

I looked at the time, it was exactly 6:15. Mr. Ji should have gotten off work on time today, because it only takes 15 minutes to drive from the company to the apartment.

Ji Fengfan's car had just arrived at the gate of the community when he saw Xia Qingqian sitting on the same steps as last night from afar. The roses beside her had been replaced by a small cart full of things.

He was slightly startled. He didn't expect that she had already bought the ingredients and was waiting here.

This afternoon was very busy. I was in meetings with the director and the screenwriter. The filming of "Beauty Robbery" was about to start, and there was a lot of work to do. I was able to get off work on time only because Ning You didn't want to work overtime, so he just walked away when the time came, and everyone went back. It was not until he saw Xia Qingqian just now that he remembered that he had told her to start cooking tonight.

Ji Fengfan saw Xia Qingqian standing up and waving in his direction with a silly smile, and two words popped up in his mind: "silly". He stepped on the accelerator and drove past Xia Qingqian.

Xia Qingqian saw that Ji Fengfan's car didn't even stop to look at her, and thought that Ji Fengfan didn't see her, so she chased after the back of the car, shouting, "Mr. Ji~"

In fact, Ji Fengfan was just going to park the car. After he parked the car, he walked to Xia Qingqian's side, looked at her panting appearance, frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you running?"

Xia Qingqian took a deep breath and said, "Exercise...Exercise."

"I didn't expect Miss Xia to have such a hobby." There was no emotion in Ji Fengfan's tone. After he finished speaking, he walked towards the apartment door. Xia Qingqian hurriedly turned back and pulled her cart to keep up with Ji Fengfan's pace.

The elevator stopped at the 32nd floor. There was only one apartment on each floor, so it was very quiet. Xia Qingqian followed Ji Fengfan into the apartment. Ji Fengfan brought her a pair of new men's slippers and said, "Please wear them. I don't have women's slippers here. The kitchen is on the left. Please use it. I'm in the study. Call me when it's done." After saying that, he turned around and went into the study without looking back.

Xia Qingqian silently took the slippers and looked at Ji Fengfan's back with a sad heart. [There are no women's slippers. With so many rumored girlfriends, don't they stay overnight here?] She changed into the larger slippers and roughly looked around the apartment. It was indeed not on the same level as her little nest. When she compared it with President Ji's apartment, she realized the meaning of the word "snail dwelling". The living room of the apartment had a large French window, and there were three rooms, one was a bedroom, one was a study, and another was converted into a gym.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the beautiful river view.

The decoration of the apartment is extremely simple, with colors of either black or white, giving it a sense of low-key luxury. It may seem a bit cold at first glance, but it fits with Monsoon Sail's style.
