Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 526 The secretary has something to do, it’s okay...

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Thinking about this timeline makes my head hurt."

"Everyone, take a break first, and then continue recording after dinner."

"Yes, it's time to eat, everyone!"

"..."

In the office of the Arclight Building, the six members of the Girls' Mystery Club gathered around the table, helping the staff put dinner on the table.

Like "Detective Chinatown", this show is also very time-consuming to shoot. The girls started recording in the afternoon and it is not over until 6 or 7 in the evening. They have to eat first to replenish their energy and make up for the mental consumption.

"Hey, why do I feel that tonight's meal is much more sumptuous than yesterday's?" Wu Xin said in surprise and joy as he looked at the ingredients that almost covered the entire conference table.

Upon hearing this, the others looked at the food on the table and found that it was indeed much more luxurious than yesterday.

"Wow, this shrimp is really amazing. I tell you, you must try it!" Qi Wei picked up a piece of shrimp meat that was half the size of her palm and gave a thumbs up. "This must have been freshly prepared by the chef."

"You are so nice to us all of a sudden, there shouldn't be anything wrong with the food." Li Xueqin joked, "Don't tell us after you finish eating that the evidence was hidden in the lunch box and we ate it."

"The one you are talking about is probably not our show."

Finally, it was the staff nearby who told them that President Meng had just come over to check on the recording of the program and had also arranged a luxurious dinner for tonight.

"Oh~~"

Xie Nan, Qi Wei and Wu Xin, who were more familiar with Li Yitong, immediately started to make noises of encouragement and looked at her with ambiguous eyes.

Li Yitong's cheeks flushed slightly, but she was not embarrassed. Instead, she waved her hands calmly, indicating that it was no big deal. Her behavior was quite like that of a hostess.

The relationship between her and Meng Bai was not known to everyone in the circle, but it was indeed widely spread. In the past, she would still be wary of rumors and try to deny them when encountering such situations. But now it is different, in most cases she will choose to acquiesce.

Her idea was similar to Li Qin's. They both wanted to spread the news that "she was the boss lady of Arc Light" among their friends in order to enhance their legitimate status.

And even from a moral perspective, her behavior cannot be called "knowing the truth and taking the blame", after all, the scumbag has never admitted that he has a girlfriend.

If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean anyone can compete?

"Thank you for the gift, Mr. Meng!"

"That's right, thanks to President Meng, we are able to benefit from this!"

Wu Xin and the others expressed their gratitude to Meng Bai in a ostentatious manner, but everyone tacitly agreed not to directly say Li Yitong's name.

Although it is a break, the surrounding cameras are still on, and these scenes are likely to be released as a behind-the-scenes feature or a special edition.

Of course, if something is said that shouldn’t be said, the program crew will edit it later, but as artists, everyone knows that “the mouth can cause trouble,” so they will still pay more attention to what they say.

"Hey guys, is it really okay for us to eat so much at night?"

Li Xueqin looked at the women around her who were eating big mouthfuls of food: "It's okay for me, but I didn't expect you guys to be so brave!"

"It's okay, just tell yourself it's a cheat meal!"

"Yes, we've already eaten. We'll think about those things after we finish eating."

Li Yitong and others expressed that they didn't care.

The actual situation is actually similar. As female artists, their food intake is strictly controlled, and nutrition is almost entirely supplemented by various pills and supplements.

Only after being on the show can I eat more without worry. It can be a cheat meal, establish a new image, and satisfy my cravings.

What's more, they are all artists who have debuted for many years and have a lot of say in the team, so they don't need to care much about the requirements of their agents.

However, there is still one person whose painting style is a little different.

Tian Xiwei looked at the sisters who were eating lavishly, then glanced at the fragrant rice and the oily barbecue, and finally, with her willpower, she moved her gaze to the few pitiful pieces of vegetables.

"Xiaotian, why aren't you eating?"

Li Yitong lived up to her status as the hostess and quickly found the "exception" in the team: "Hey, it's okay to have a meal once in a while, here."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of shrimp wrapped in spicy dipping sauce and put it into the other person's bowl.

"This……"

Tian Xiwei's big eyes blinked as she looked at the shrimp in the bowl. The tender red meat was coated with the glossy dipping sauce, reflecting an alluring glow under the light.

Saliva involuntarily flowed from her mouth. She swallowed it and then looked at her executive agent who was watching her behind the camera.

Li Yitong also noticed her movements, looked over and helped her speak up: "It's okay, it's just a little more, it won't make you gain much weight."

The executive agent wrinkled her face, looking very embarrassed. How could she explain this matter? She belonged to Li Qin's side, and it was really difficult for her to face Li Yitong.

But she couldn't just give them no face. Both sides were candidates for the position of boss' wife, and how they fought was their business. As a grassroots worker, there was no need for her to get involved.

Another point is how much this little girl eats...

After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally gave a wry smile and waved her hand, letting her artist do as he pleased.

"Yeah——" Tian Xiwei cheered, turned around and joined the "battlefield" happily. She soon stood out from the "female push group" by her appetite of "one against many" and received a lot of surprises.

"Xiaotian, are you sure it's okay for you to eat like this?"

Li Yitong watched Tian Xiwei pick up the second serving of rice and couldn't help but say, "You're eating so much all of a sudden. It's easy to get gastroenteritis."

"It's okay, I usually eat this much."

Tian Xiwei lifted her sleeves to reveal her arms, then she exerted force, and suddenly smooth muscle lines appeared, and it was obvious that she had practiced before.

The sisters in the "female push group" were all shocked by her muscular lines and gathered around to touch and touch her.

If a boy were here, even if he had eight-pack abs, everyone would just think it was okay. But Tian Xiwei, a girl who looks soft and sweet on the outside, who would have thought that she actually has such a contrasting side.

"I usually like to go to the gym and lift weights, so I eat a lot. But recently, because it's almost the end of the year and I have to wear a dress to attend an event, my agent doesn't allow me to eat too much."

"I would believe you if you said you used to do weightlifting." Li Xueqin exclaimed, "Tsk, how did you do this!"

The few of them started chatting about fitness again. Tian Xiwei continued to eat vigorously while secretly observing Li Yitong.

I am Sister Qinqin's person, don't think you can buy me off with some delicious food!
She said to herself in her heart.

Since being signed by Li Qin, Tian Xiwei can be said to have "risen to the top in one step". While other students of the same grade are still busy running around for auditions, she has already finished filming two female lead roles.

Although they are all low-budget shared-revenue dramas, the results after they were broadcast were quite good. While attracting a lot of fans, she also became a bit of a name among the "95 flowers" in the domestic entertainment industry.

It has to be said that Li Qin still values her "number one employee" very much. In addition to starring in low-budget dramas, she will also take Tian Xiwei with her when she shoots her own big productions.

Like the book "No Rebirth" that she bought the copyright for and wanted to invest in, she has recently started the project and changed its name to "Wind Blowing in Midsummer".

This is a serious drama with a more realistic theme, and Li Qin also attaches great importance to this project. Even so, she still gave the role of the second female lead "Gao Xinyi" to Tian Xiwei.

After learning about the platform's new program "Women's Mystery Club", she was added through the "backdoor".

Tian Xiwei knew that these resources were mainly obtained from the big boss Meng Bai, but she was still very grateful to Li Qin. After all, without her, President Meng would definitely not pay attention to her.

Naturally, she had heard about the conflict between Li Qin and Li Yitong, and subconsciously had some opinions about the latter.

When she knew that she would meet the other party in this program, she had already made up her mind to get to know the other party better and see if she could find any shortcomings or weaknesses to help Sister Qinqin defeat her.

So even though she has been calling "Sister Tong" these past two days, her heart is still with Sister Qinqin.

But after these two days of contact, she found that this "Sister Tong" didn't seem to have as many problems as she had thought before. To be honest, she was actually similar to Sister Qinqin.

Moreover, the two of them looked somewhat similar, which caused her to often get distracted while looking at them.

No, how can my loyalty to Sister Qinqin be shaken?

Tian Xiwei condemned herself in her heart, and decided to continue with her original plan and keep an eye on Li Yitong during the next recording.
-
After dinner, everyone took a break and then continued recording. It was not until after 10 o'clock in the evening that this episode finally ended.

When the six women heard the director call it over, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Because it was their first recording, in order to have more material, they recorded for two consecutive days and completed the "pilot episode" and the three episodes of the first and second phases.

Different from the format of "one case per episode, each independent" in "Detective Chinatown", this season of "Girls' Mystery Agency" has a main line.

According to the setting, Li Yitong and the other six are members of the "Hao Hao Hao Reasoning Agency". They infiltrate a media company called "1111" and then solve a series of cases encountered in this company.

Judging from the program outline, it is somewhat similar to the "Let's Start Reasoning" that He Chen was planning to launch after switching to Tencent Video.

With the main storyline and identities, the reasoning became even more brain-twisting. Although the six women either had experience or were smart, they were still exhausted after two days of mental activity.

So after the recording, the few of them didn't have the energy to have a party. They agreed to have team building together next time, and then left.

But some people didn't leave.

"Sister Tongtong, the boss asked me to pick you up."

At the door of the program crew, Hua Yan called Li Yitong and then took her to the upper floors of the Arc Light Building.

In the office, Meng Bai was looking at the information on the computer.

Although the new building has not yet been officially put into use, various equipment has been set up, allowing him to experience the feeling of working in a new building for the first time.

As I was watching, there was a knock on the office door.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yitong, dressed in a uniform, walked in from outside the door.

Seeing Meng Bai behind the desk, she smiled sweetly with her eyes bent, then walked over briskly, resting one hand on the desk and said, "Boss Meng, do you need your personal secretary to help you with your work?"

Looking at the sweet smiling face, Meng Bai had no mind to read any information. He stood up immediately, stroked the girl's slender waist with one hand, and held her white legs with the other hand, and lifted her up horizontally.

"The work is over. There is nothing for the secretary to do. I would rather be with the secretary..."

He didn't finish his words, and the tail end was drowned out by the woman's soft and charming laughter.
