Judging from the feedback from netizens, they generally approve of her portrayal of Hua Xixi.

This is what makes her happiest.

As Apan tidied up his things, he said, "I'll go buy a few more of Ah Li's favorite dishes at noon to celebrate properly."

“No…” Shen Li shook her head at A Pan: “Don’t be too flashy, it’s not good.”

"What's wrong with celebrating by ourselves? Ali, you're being too cautious," Xiaoyun said.

Shen Li pursed her lips and said, "I'm a newcomer, so it's only right that I keep a low profile."

Apan and Xiaoyun exchanged a glance and could only nod in agreement. Apan said, "Actually, Ali's thinking is not wrong. I just passed by Ren Jia's dressing room and heard her getting angry. I vaguely heard it was because of the promotional photos. If Ali sticks out to celebrate at this time and gets caught, she will definitely offend Ren Jia."

Xiaoyun, in her excitement, also came to her senses: "Right, I thought the official team would release Ren Jia's promotional photos this time, but why did it turn into Ali and Song Anyu? Ren Jia and Gao Fei are both second female leads, and Gao Fei's photos have been released, so why hasn't Ren Jia's been released?"

Apan shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Hearing this, Shen Li became even more flustered and quickly asked Xiao Yun, "Am I being disrespectful to my senior?"

"Of course not, that's the publicity team's job. What does it have to do with us? It's not something you can control." Xiaoyun said, giving Shen Li a reassuring smile: "Don't worry about these things. The publicity for the production team has always been handled by a professional team. They are definitely more professional than us. Look at the results today, it proves that they are very professional."

This made Shen Li feel a little more at ease.

She just wants to focus on acting; she doesn't care about becoming famous or not, and she doesn't want to steal the spotlight from others.

Meanwhile, Xiaoya brought back a message.

"What did you say?"

Ren Jia stared at Xiao Ya in disbelief, as if she hadn't understood a single word Xiao Ya had just said: "Say it again!"

Xiaoya lowered her head and said tremblingly, "The publicity team said that your set of stills is lost and can't be found."

"Where are the negatives? Don't you have any negatives?" Ren Jia pressed.

Xiaoya shook her head: "No, the negatives are lost too..."

"How is this possible!" Ren Jia's eyes widened, her expression contorted with rage. "Why is it that only my stills are missing? Even the negatives are gone?"

Everyone in the room held their breath; the whole thing sounded really strange.

If it really was lost by accident, someone should have informed the team long ago. Given Ren Jia's personality, she would definitely have made time to reshoot a set.

But there was no news at all; they simply stopped releasing any stills of her from the show.

Ren Jia has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and this kind of reason is simply not something that can be easily fooled.

After her anger subsided, she became increasingly suspicious. Finally, she said to Xiaoya, "Impossible. Go contact the publicity team and get to the bottom of this. Isn't Xiaomu on good terms with you? Go ask him. It's okay to give him some benefits. Make sure you get to the bottom of this."

She wanted to see who had the audacity to trip her up!

Shen Cicai arrived at the "Hengdian Film and Television Base" at 10:00 a.m.

She had contacted Lu Jinzhao in advance, hoping to borrow a professional from the legal department of "Jin Xiao Entertainment". Unexpectedly, when she arrived, Lu Jinzhao had also come in person.

“Mr. Lu?” Shen Ci was somewhat surprised to see him.

Lu Jinzhao, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and sunglasses, walked up to Shen Ci with a smile and greeted her, "Miss Shen, it's been a long time."

Shen Ci's gaze bypassed him and fell on the man and woman standing behind him. She asked in confusion, "Didn't I just ask you to borrow one person? What are you doing...?"

Lu Jinzhao nodded upon hearing this: "Miss Shen, please don't misunderstand. Let me introduce you first."

He first introduced the man in the suit: "This is Attorney Lin, our legal consultant, who is also the one who helped Ms. Shen with her professional issues today."

Shen Ci nodded and greeted Attorney Lin.

Then Lu Jinzhao introduced another woman: "This is Sister Kuan, the artist manager for 'Jin Xiao.' She also brought a contract today and wants to talk to Shen Li."

Shen Ci now understood that Lu Jinzhao also wanted to sign Shen Li.

"Did Miss Shen see today's trending topics online?" Lu Jinzhao asked.

"I didn't see it at first, but everyone else did. I only found out after I got off the plane," Shen Ci said.

"Shen Li has great potential, so Ms. Shen, please don't misunderstand. After all, we at 'Golden Xiao' are an entertainment company, and we certainly won't let go of a promising talent like Shen Li. She's currently in our own production team, so she definitely has the advantage of being close to us. We have to seize the opportunity, don't we?"

Shen Ci smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you don't need to explain so much to me. I completely respect my sister's wishes regarding the contract. As long as she agrees, I will support whoever she signs with."

"I'll say it again: just don't let my sister know that I invested in this show."

Lu Jinzhao nodded knowingly: "Miss Shen, don't worry, I won't show up. Sister Kuan will talk to Shen Li."

Before long, Xiaoyun ran out to pick her up. She had seen Shen Ci when Ali was video chatting with her sister, so she recognized him at a glance.

They also recognized Lu Jinzhao.

"President Lu! Sister Kuan!"

Before Xiaoyun could say anything, Lu Jinzhao simply nodded and walked past her into the film set.

Sister Kuan smiled at Xiao Yun and followed her.

Only Shen Ci and Attorney Lin remained standing there.

Xiao Yun blinked for a moment, then turned to greet Shen Ci: "Sister Ali, right? Come in with me."

Upon seeing her sister, Ali rushed over happily, saying with a mix of joy and apology, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you again because of me."

"It's alright, I've never seen a film crew before, I just wanted to come and see something new." Shen Ci said, then asked, "Hasn't Teacher Yu Hong arrived yet?"

Shen Li shook her head.

"That's perfect. This is Attorney Lin. Please take a look at the contract template and see if there's anything wrong with it."

Then, while Attorney Lin was reviewing the contract, Shen Ci pulled her sister to sit down beside her and whispered, "I'm asking you, do you have any ideas about what to do after signing the contract?"

Shen Li paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No, as long as I have a role to play, that's fine. Sister, I'm a newcomer, so it's not appropriate for me to make too many demands, is it?"

"Of course you should make requests. That's the point of 'talking,' otherwise why would I come all this way? Isn't it to give you the confidence to make your requests?"

Shen Li looked troubled upon hearing this and hesitated before saying, "I don't want others to think I'm making a big fuss over nothing."

"A contract is a collaboration between two parties. They have requirements for you, and you have the right to make your own requirements as well. Cooperation can only proceed when both parties can reach an agreement. You can't give up your rights just because you're a newcomer!"

Shen Li held her younger sister's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you. If you don't explain clearly, you'll have no choice but to obey if the company arranges for you to do things you don't like."

Shen Li looked at her sister, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
