Shi Xiu couldn’t help but laugh. “You have such a honeyed tongue, Liang Han. No wonder Lu Hui said your mouth seemed like it had been stung by a bee.”

Liang Han’s expression changed. “S-stung by a bee? What kind of descriptor is that? That little lion can write such exquisite scripts, so why is she so verbally inept?”

Shi Xiu laughed so hard that she bent over. “Aren’t you the same? You’re always calling her ‘Little Lion.’”

“She said that her colleagues also call her Little Lion!” Liang Han indignantly retorted.

“No, they don’t!” Shi Xiu laughed so hard that she was gasping. “You’re the only one… who calls her that. And you blurted it out… directly to her face, too. She was afraid you’d… put yourself on the spot, so she gave you a way out.” “I, 1—” Liang Han’s words stuck in his throat, and he sullenly moped.

After she finished her laughing fit, Shi Xiu took the coffee Liang Han handed her and had a sip. “Liang Han, I’m here to ask for work.”

Puzzled, Liang Han asked, “You want work? What work do I have here that can catch your eye, princess?”

Shi Xiu put down the coffee cup, her expression serious. “Your company’s in charge of picking the host candidate for Lu Hui’s program, right?” Liang Han nodded, and that poofy-haired girl with thick glasses flashed in his mind again.

Shi Xiu looked at Liang Han and calmly uttered, “I want to be the host of that show.”

Liang Han did a double take. “What?!”

Before he could wrap his head around it, Shi Xiu continued, “I was also a member of the reality show ‘Embracing Life,’ so I know these legends personally. It would be more natural and smooth if I were the host. I’m very familiar with each and every one of them, so it would be easier for me to plunge into their life stories.”

“They previously had a small rise in popularity because of the show ‘Embracing Life.’ It would appear slightly stiff if other hosts were to talk about it again now, but I wouldn’t have this problem if I were the host. So, how about it?” Shi

Xiu asked.

Liang Han hesitantly nodded. Before he could say anything, Shi Xiu added, “Of course, there are two risks in choosing me. I don’t have any experience as a host, for one. And two, I’m currently plagued by negative publicity. I’ve already thought of a solution to my lack of experience. I’ll hire a teacher for urgent training, and I’d like you to ask the show’s director to look after and give me pointers. As for the negative publicity about me, Big Brother Liang Han, will you please help me out? I want to use this show to make a comeback.”

Liang Han chuckled, “You don’t need my help to make a comeback. Besides, no one believes those negative news stories anyway. There’s no need to care about those clowns. ”

Liang Han saw through her, so Shi Xiu only smiled and didn’t say anything.

Liang Han gave it some thought before stating, “You make a compelling argument; other than the issue of experience, you are indeed the most suitable. As for your lack of experience, it’s not a big problem since everyone has to start somewhere. I’ll certainly give you the most generous pay as your hiring fee! However, I have a small condition…”

Liang Han looked at Shi Xiu with a smile, and Shi Xiu loudly promised, “I’ll do my best to fulfill your orders, big brother!”

She thought, ‘Just as Yun Nan said, Big Brother Liang Han is smart and cunning. You’d find yourselffollowing his lead after only a few sentences, and even your style ofspeech would deviate from the norm.’

Liang Han remarked, “I heard that even your sister-in-law, Yun Nan, didn’t sign you on with her company. You only work with them on a contract-per-job basis. I reckon your family and the other guys will kill me if I dare to think about signing you on—it’s not worth it.” He then tested the waters and carefully asked, “How about you do me a favor and sign a contract for two movies with my company?”

Shi Xiu smiled. “Sure, okay. Fang Xi’s in charge of all my contracts, and now they’re in Yun Nan’s hands. If you have a suitable script, we can study it together.”

Liang Han was overjoyed to hear that. “Alright! Forget about being the host of this show; even if you want to come over and be a full-time host, I’ll raise my hands—and feet—in welcome!”

Shi Xiu thought, ‘ Yun Nan’s predictions were right, as expected. Big Brother Liang Han is one to take advantage of every opportunity. He even wants to hire me as a full-time host.’

Shi Xiu took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Lu Hui. Lu Hui owed her a meal now because the two had made a bet over Yun Nan’s predictions. Lu Hui had bet that Liang Han would agree to Shi Xiu being the host, whereas Shi Xiu trusted Yun Nan and bet that Liang Han would add the condition of her signing a contract with him for a movie or two.

Lu Hui responded with an incredulous emoji and a text message: “He’s a scoundrel indeed.”

Shi Xiu couldn’t help but laugh when she read that. Baffled, Liang Han inquired, “What’s so funny? Did something good happen?”

Shi Xiu hurriedly put away her phone and replied, “I told Lu Hui that you agreed to let me be the host, and Lu Hui praised you for being wise and brave!” “But of course!” Liang Han uttered proudly, and Shi Xiu collapsed in laughter.

Then Shi Xiu stood up and said her goodbyes. She still had other preparations to make. She didn’t fight to be this show’s host just for those surface excuses. She was aiming for Yun Liu. ‘No one can get away unscathed after bullying me and my sister-in-law.. I absolutely won’t let that trollop, Yun Liu, off!’
