Chapter 433 Her Scheme

Does he mean that she's all he sees?

Xia Qingran narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Why bother with all this? It's not important," Gong Shaoyu said.

Xia Qingran glanced at him and said, "This is very important. You don't know, but a lot of people like you. Grandpa has been introducing you to a bunch of women."

This is a true story. In his previous life, Grandpa Gong introduced a bunch of people to Gong Shaoyu. Although he never met any of them, it still happened.

Gong Shaoyu looked confused. "What are you thinking about? There are a bunch of people around. I only have you with me."

At first he didn't quite understand, but then he suddenly seemed to realize something, and his face softened. "Didn't you want to eat braised pork? I'll make it for you."

Xia Qingran: "?"

Gong Shaoyu, who was just flustered in the kitchen, suddenly felt confident.

"Okay," she said, tilting her head back with a smile.

Whether in her past life or the next, Xia Qingran has never been able to cook. Gong Shaoyu doesn't allow her to cook, and she has never spent time on such things.

Actually, Gong Shaoyu's cooking was terrible; the shrimp he cooked earlier didn't even have any smoke. But seeing how hard he tried, she felt warm inside and hugged him from behind.

The next day, Xia Qingran arrived at school early. There were very few people in the classroom. Liang Qianxing had arrived earlier than her.

He had lost weight, and his facial features were slightly more defined.

Xia Qingran narrowed her eyes, looked him up and down, and smiled slightly: "Participating in this program is good, isn't it? You've lost a lot of weight."

Liang Qianxing nodded. He was naturally prone to weight gain and didn't exercise much, so he did lose a lot of weight while participating in the recording of this program.

Moreover, he can earn money. When he was an extra, he only earned 100 yuan a day. This time, he earned 50,000 yuan after only a few days of filming. This is because he has signed with a company and is backed by Qingyu Company. So even though he is a newcomer, his asking price is much higher than before.

"Have you seen it? The promotional poster for 'Sunset Overlook' is out!"

"Ling Shen is so handsome! I used to think he only looked good in modern clothes, but I didn't expect him to look so good in period costumes. When I saw the promotional photos, I decided I had to watch the show. The female lead looks good too. I heard the special effects in this show are really good."

"Yes, it's a big production. They hired the best special effects artists. This should be the best special effects ever done in China. I'm really looking forward to it. Most importantly, the director actually hired so many newcomers."

"It's a pity, I went for the interview too, but they didn't select me."

The drama "Sunset Delay" has high expectations. It has generated a lot of buzz even before it has been filmed. Now that the actors are filming, there is naturally a lot of discussion about it.

Xia Qingran turned her head and glanced at Liang Qianxing: "Are you envious?" She remembered that Liang Qianxing had wanted to act before, but ended up participating in a reality show instead.

Since she signed Liang Qianxing, she naturally had her own considerations. Liang Qianxing will definitely still be acting in the future. He doesn't have the face of a leading actor, but Xia Qingran knows his potential and of course wants him to play the leading role. Therefore, he must lose weight first.

After all, Liang Qianxing isn't going for a comedic career. If he wants to become famous overnight, he'll need to manage his physique well.

“If you lose weight, I’ll get you a role. Don’t envy ‘Sunset Overlook’; it’s not suitable for you because it’s bound to flop,” Xia Qingran said.

Liang Qianxing certainly wouldn't agree, thinking Xia Qingran was just comforting him. The show hadn't even aired yet, but it was already being praised by everyone, so how could it possibly flop? However, Xia Qingran's words touched him. As long as he lost weight, he would have roles to play.

Whether those words were true or false, Liang Qianxing accepted them nonetheless.

His physique has recently been improved by a nutritionist and is much better than before. His metabolism has also increased significantly, and he himself feels that he is much lighter. Perhaps he can really lose weight soon.

During this period, Xia Qingran officially began recruiting actors, putting Ahao in charge of the matter while she personally selected the actors.

Although the company is backed by the Gong family and has no shortage of resources, Xia Qingran has been in charge of it since she took over. As a result, it is a new company and the actors who come here are not famous.

Xia Qingran didn't care at all. She didn't want to sign any big-name stars in the first place. Compared to those established actors, she preferred to cultivate newcomers. Newcomers are like blank sheets of paper, which are easier to train. Besides, Liang Qianxing was just a newcomer.

When she went to Qingyu Company, she happened to see Liang Qianxing running, so she ran a lap with him. Liang Qianxing was working very hard, and you could tell that he really wanted to lose weight. His determination was admirable.

Losing weight is not an easy thing, especially for someone as fat as Liang Qianxing. Xia Qingran had never been fat or dieted in her life, but seeing that Liang Qianxing's swelling had gone down quickly, she was satisfied.

"Is this all you guys are capable of? You even have fat guys like this?" A man stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Xia Qingran turned her head and saw a man, no, just a big boy. He looked young, eighteen or nineteen, or in his twenties. He was very handsome and sunny, the kind of young heartthrob that audiences like these days.

Xia Qingran's vision for Qingyu Company is to sign actors with great acting skills, but that doesn't stop them from signing good-looking people. After all, good looks are everything, and young, good-looking actors are in high demand these days.

Upon hearing this, Liang Qianxing was not angry; he simply picked up a water glass and filled it with water.

He might not have liked these good-looking male actors before, but now that they're all in the same company, he can tell that Xia Qingran values ​​him quite a bit, so he's not in a hurry.

Xia Qingran walked towards the person and asked curiously, "Who are you? A newly signed actor?"

The agent standing nearby quickly added, "Yes, his name is Xu Ao. He's a recently signed actor who has already acted in dozens of productions, often playing the male lead. He's a veteran in the industry." So it's understandable that he's a bit arrogant. You have to understand that Qingyu Company is currently signing mostly newcomers, so Xu Ao certainly has some merit.

"Oh, he's played the male lead in dozens of dramas, but still no one remembers his name," Liang Qianxing said indifferently, quickly exposing Xu Ao's lie.

Xu Ao is just a nobody, and his temperament is probably the reason why he's never become famous. Although he's good-looking, the entertainment industry is full of beautiful women, so he's nothing special.

"What did you say? How many plays have you acted in?" Xu Ao was furious when he heard this. He was also very handsome when he was angry, with two small flames burning in his eyes.

Liang Qianxing completely ignored him and turned to leave.

Xia Qingran found it somewhat amusing. "Don't offend him. He's our company's ace."

What?

Xu Ao was incredulous; this was just a fatso.
