Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered Chapter 353

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

She was about to contact two of her friends?

Originally looking at the name list, the manager was stunned upon hearing this.

What she said about inviting her friends wasn't a joke?!

“May I be so bold as to ask, are the two friends you invited in the circle?” The manager knew her situation and thought she probably didn't know any insiders.

Was she going to invite two of her own top scorer school nerds?

Propping her legs up and putting her hands on the table, Qin Ran raised an eyebrow and concisely replied, “Of course.”

The manager looked at her in disbelief.

He hesitantly asked, “Who are your two friends…”

“Enough.” Sitting at the side, Qin Xiuchen glanced displeasedly at his manager and looked at Qin Ran with a gentle expression. “You can invite two friends to play, but can they arrive tomorrow? Can I do something to help you?”

Tapping her fingers on the table, Qin Ran's eyes were lazy, but her tone was determined. “They can.”

“That's good.” Qin Xiuchen slightly nodded, and then put away the list on the table. “I'll go back and check on Xiao Ling's homework.”

The manager stared at Qin Xiuchen hesitantly but instantly looked away when he glanced at him.

The two greeted her and left after only talking to her for less than ten minutes.

When the door closed, the manager stared at it and then pointed to the list in Qin Xiuchen's hand. He lowered his voice and asked worriedly, “What about this list? Your niece wants to invite her own friends.

“She doesn't understand, but you should know the circle's rules. I don't know how the production crew is going to edit the show, but no matter what, she'll be scolded regardless of who she invites.” The manager glanced at him.

After hearing that she was going to invite friends from the circle, he really felt like… Qin Ran didn't know any friends in the circle.

Nodding, Qin Xiuchen held the key, then calmly opened the door. “I know, you don't have to repeat it.”

Realizing that his words fell on deaf ears, the manager directly went in and sat in front of Qin Ling. “Xiao Ling?”

Qin Ling took off his earphones and raised an eyebrow. “Go on.”

The manager was speechless.

After pausing for a moment, he leaned over and slowly asked, “Do you know… what kind of friends does your sister have?”

“My sister's friends?” Typing on the keyboard, Qin Ling looked away and casually replied, “She has a lot.”

“For example? Does she have any celebrity friends?” asked the manager as he put his hand on the table.

“Brother Gu, Brother Lu, Sister Mingyue, Uncle Feng…” Qin Ling's memory was good, and he said without hesitation.

Sitting at the side, Qin Xiuchen leaned back in his chair and listened with interest. Qin Ling rarely talked about Qin Ran, so he looked over curiously and asked, “They're all her classmates?”

He thought Qin Ran's character would make it hard for her to make friends.

The manager took Qin Xiuchen's list and listened while shredding it up.

The names and personal contact information of each celebrity were written on the list. It would definitely be leaked out if the staff found this list.

“Brother Gu is a doctor, he's the one who gave me this stone. Brother Lu is a school doctor… Mingyue is my sister's good friend from Beijing University…” Qin Ling brightened up at the mention of this. He actively rattled on, his pitch-black eyes lit up.

Qin Xiuchen listened very carefully.

The manager didn't notice any friends in the circle.

He poured himself a glass of water and took a sip. After Qin Ling finished speaking, he still didn't hear any mention of a friend in the circle.

Not wanting to listen anymore, he stood up lethargically and said, “Xiuchen, you guys chat. I'm leaving first.”

While talking to Qin Ling, Qin Xiuchen just casually waved his hand without turning back. As for Qin Ling…

He was even crueler.

The manager dragged his heavy steps back to the room on the second floor. As soon as he reached the door, he saw the director waiting for him.

“I knocked on the door and found you weren't inside, so I waited a little longer.” Glancing at him, the director paused after noticing the manager's solemn expression. “What's wrong?”

They were rather familiar with each other.

Shaking his head, the manager opened the door. “Come in and chat.”

“Were you at Film Emperor Qin's just now?” asked the director as he sat down at the table.

The manager nodded.

The director pondered for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up. “Film Emperor Qin has helped find people?”

Qin Xiuchen had a wide network of connections and had many friends, so it would certainly be an easy feat for him to help find two friends for Qin Ran.

“Film Emperor Qin indeed wanted to intervene,” the manager glanced at him and tiredly said, “but his niece insists on inviting her own friends.”

The director was speechless.

“I'm guessing they're not insiders.” The manager pondered and cautioned him in advance. “They're probably the doctor and school nerd of Beijing University. You should prepare properly for the variety show tomorrow.”

1

The director was speechless.

Doctor??

They would even have a doctor in the show??

This might, unfortunately, be the strangest season of all…

The manager glanced at the director.

Especially the director…

He just knew that Qin Ran had such an operation! It was just as expected! She was a computer bug!

On the other side.

Qin Ran continued to dry her hair as she opened the lunch box and took out the dishes. While eating, she turned on her phone and scrolled through WeChat.

She first clicked on Tian Xiaoxiao's profile, then slowly typed a sentence—

[Are you free?]

On the other side, Tian Xiaoxiao finally got the role of a female extra. However, the snobby heroine kept delaying the shots. Tian Xiaoxiao's filming was supposed to be yesterday night, but it had been dragged to this afternoon after nearly 24 hours.

“Director, my part…” She walked over to the director. It was summer in the show, so she wore the clothes of the female side actress and a coat outside.

The director was trying to explain the scene to the heroine, who kept having NGs.

This heroine had a sponsor and couldn't be easily scolded, so he turned and pelted on Tian Xiaoxiao instead. “The protagonist's scenes aren't even over yet, what are you anxious about? Can't you see that I'm busy?!”

Tian Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth but restrained herself at the thought of her manager's instructions.

She sat aside and scrolled her phone.

Clicking on Qin Ran's message, she sniffed and answered, “Yes.”

As soon as she replied, she received a voice call.

“Ran Ran?” Walking to the door, Tian Xiaoxiao squatted at the door frame and bowed her head.

On the other side, Qin Ran turned on the speaker and reached out for her chopsticks. “Do you have time tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?” Tian Xiaoxiao propped her chin up and glanced in front.

“Yeah. Come to City C if you do. I'm looking for you to play.” Qin Ran got up and poured a glass of water before adding, “It's quite fun.”

Tian Xiaoxiao turned around to watch the crew. Her scenes had been delayed again, and the protagonists' advanced instead.

This was the first time Qin Ran looked for her, so she pursed her lips and said without hesitation, “Okay. I'll look for you tomorrow.”

She hung up, then went to the changing room to change into her own clothes before going to the director.

While smoking a cigarette, the director glanced at her impatiently. “Why are you here again? I already said your scenes are at the back…”

“No.” Tian Xiaoxiao put on her coat. “I want to ask for leave.”

She felt too depressed lately and wanted to find Qin Ran to play and complain.

“Leave? I think you don't want to act anymore.” The director glanced her up and down and shook the ashes from the cigarette. “This role is so popular.”

Tian Xiaoxiao nodded. “Then, I don't want it.”

She didn't sign a contract for the role, and besides getting the money right after filming, it was no different from playing as an extra.

Tian Xiaoxiao walked away freely.

Behind her, one of the crew members glanced at the director. “This girl looks distinctive and has great potential…”

“What's the use?” The director wasn't bothered. The crew didn't rely on newcomers to attract popularity to their show, and she wasn't even a famous newbie who had her own group of fans. “This kind of person can't distinguish between what's more important and can't even bear such grievances in the circle. She will never become popular.”

If it had been a popular rookie, the director would never have let her go.

But since Tian Xiaoxiao wasn't even bound to him by contract, he really didn't care much.

Qin Ran sent her positioning to Tian Xiaoxiao.

Then, she closed her WeChat.

She dialed another number right after. She was reckless this time and dialed it directly without caring what the other party was doing.

At the same time.

On the other side of City C.

Yan Xi leaned weakly on the recliner, his beautiful eyebrows knitted together. “Have you bought the ticket?”

Boss Wang nodded. “Yes. We'll return to Beijing in a while.”

“Okay.” Yan Xi nodded and closed his eyes.

“City C's scenery is rather nice. Next time…” Boss Wang glanced over.

“No, I won't even stay a single day more!” Yan Xi exclaimed without opening his eyes.

After one week in City C, he couldn't get acclimatized for five days…

The phone on the table rang. Boss Wang picked it up and was shocked.
