You said you'd just lie down and relax, how did you become a top influencer?

Chapter 52 Departure

"Sister Bai Ge, Wanwan, have Uncle Zhang and Brother Zize left yet?"

Xu An poked his head out from the stairwell, looked at Bai Ge and Shen Wanwan who were reading in the living room, and asked in a low voice.

The two looked at him as he tiptoed around, exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, come out now. You ran too fast and they couldn't catch you. They've already left." Bai Ge's elegant voice carried a hint of helplessness.

Shen Wanwan nodded and added softly:

"Uncle Zhang also said you'll be in for a world of hurt next time you come on the show!"

Hearing that the two had left, Xu An immediately straightened his back, no longer taking Zhang Lin's threats seriously.

He snorted coldly, looking quite confident:

"I'm Sister Ge's assistant now, I have powerful backers, what can Uncle Zhang do to me?"

Bai Ge looked amused when he heard Xu An's words.

This is the first time I've seen an assistant cause trouble and then seek the boss's support with such self-righteousness.

"Xiao An, you caused this mess, so you'll have to figure out how to fix it yourself," Bai Ge said with a hint of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Xu An's face immediately showed indignation.

"Sister Ge, I really didn't stir up trouble. This isn't a problem caused by anyone."

"But Zhang Shuming knew I was your assistant and made those harsh remarks beforehand."

"This isn't slapping me in the face, it's slapping Bai Ge's butt!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ge's dignified and elegant face, which had previously held a hint of mockery, immediately froze.

Why does this sound so off?

Even the live streams that were not yet shut down couldn't hold up.

I couldn't come up with such a metaphor even if I thought about it for a hundred years.

[This is hilarious! What a bizarre analogy of killing one hundred enemies while losing a thousand of your own!]

[Xu An as an assistant, putting aside everything else, just puts a lot of pressure on the boss, right?]

Even when I'm trying to find fault, I wouldn't say something like that!

Seeing Xu An's indignant expression, Bai Ge gently touched her forehead, her voice revealing a rare hint of insecurity.

"I really don't know whether making you my assistant is a good thing or a bad thing."

"Never mind, it's too late to say anything now. The driver has already arrived. Take your luggage and come with me to the car."

Then, Bai Ge paused and looked at Shen Wanwan.

"Wanwan, do you want to come with me?"

"I can take you and your assistant to the airport."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan was taken aback and hesitated.

As someone with social anxiety, she usually declines such invitations.

But today, on the one hand, the agent has some things to do and the car will probably be late, and on the other hand...

Shen Wanwan glanced at Xu An beside her.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Bai Ge..." Shen Wanwan's voice was very soft.

Afterwards, Xu An and the other two walked out of the courtyard with their suitcases, but the first person they saw was not the driver, but Chen Hong.

"Director Chen? What are you doing here?"

Xu An's voice held a hint of surprise.

The filming for this episode is almost finished, and Chen Hong should be busy with editing work right now. How come she has time to see them off?

Of course, it's to determine if there's any risk of you returning.

Chen Hong's lips twitched, but she wisely refrained from speaking her mind.

"Xiao Xu, you're practically part of our production team now. You're going to be Bai Ge's assistant, so as the director, I naturally have to come and see you off."

"I feel a little reluctant to see you leave, Xiao Xu."

As she said this, Chen Hong tried her best to put on a sad expression.

"How about... I don't leave?"

Xu An blinked as he looked at Chen Hong, whose smile was impossible to suppress.

Chen Hong's expression changed, and she laughed awkwardly twice.

"Sigh, I don't want to let you go either, but it's really inconvenient for Bai Ge to be without an assistant, so I have to reluctantly part with you."

Actually, it's not that inconvenient.

Bai Ge, who was standing to the side, had a half-smile on his face. He was about to say something when Chen Hong interrupted him.

"Ahem, Xiao Xu, there's one more thing I need to say goodbye to."

"Even when you're working as Bai Ge's assistant, don't forget to film promotional videos for our show's account."

"You can also do a live stream in your spare time."

As she said this, Chen Hong handed something to Xu An.

Xu An took it and looked at it.

It turned out to be a small live streaming camera.

However, it is only the size of a finger and has an exquisite design, making it very suitable for carrying around.

"Director Chen, you're actually willing to give me this?"

"I'm very impressed with you now!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong was taken aback.

Who said this was a gift for you? You can just borrow it, okay?

Just as she was about to speak, Xu An didn't give her a chance to open her mouth.

"We'll be going now. Director Chen, please take care of yourself and get plenty of rest!"

"Driver, let's go! Let's go!"

Chen Hong watched as Xu An got into the car and quickly started driving, and she laughed in exasperation.

I still got ripped off.

Fortunately, we finally managed to get rid of that demon orb.

"Xiao Wei, should we close the live stream?"

She then asked a question, but received no answer from Yan Wei, which surprised her.

What about people?

As they drove along the country road, Xu An looked at Yan Wei, who had an innocent expression on her face.

What are you doing in the car?

"I'm going home! I can ask Sister Bai Ge to give me a ride." Yan Wei looked at Xu An's surprised expression, smiled, and said happily.

"Don't you need to help out with the production team?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wei looked at him with a subtle expression, her tone carrying a hint of amusement as she said:

"Do you know what task my aunt gave me before?"

Xu An shook his head blankly.

"It's to keep an eye on you so you don't disrupt the program."

Upon hearing this, before Xu An could say anything, Bai Ge, standing to the side, smiled and couldn't help but nod.

"Director Chen's decision to assign you this job, Xiaowei, was quite prescient."

Xu An suddenly realized what Bai Ge meant when she heard him address her.

"Sister Bai Ge, do you know Yan Wei?"

Bai Ge smiled and nodded, then looked at Shen Wanwan's curious gaze, thought for a moment, and explained a few words.

Hearing her explanation, Xu An finally understood.

It turns out that Yan Wei is the daughter of the director Bai Ge mentioned who brought her into the industry.

And that director is Director Chen's sister.

After clarifying this relationship, Xu An sighed:

"It's so shady. How come the entertainment industry is full of people with connections?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wei gave him a disgruntled look.

"In a sense, you're a 'connected' person now, aren't you?"

"Otherwise, do you think you could just become Bai Ge's assistant?"

"But then again..."

Sometimes, it's not that we don't give young people opportunities, but rather that they fail to seize them!

Xu An said in a very old-fashioned manner.

Yan Wei: ……

Bai Ge: ……

Seeing the ambiguous smiles on Yan Wei and Bai Ge's faces, Xu An guiltily looked away.

Xu An then glanced around the car and was taken aback.

Why does it feel like something's missing?

Inside the Peach Blossom Cottage, Jiang Zhaoyue, having finished her afternoon nap, came downstairs and looked at the empty cottage, a hint of bewilderment flashing in her starry eyes.

Where are they?!

How come everyone's gone!
