Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

“Hmm.” Chi Shen had no objection to this form of address.

"Thank you for your praise, Teacher Chi. I will continue to work hard," Xie Qingyu said with clear eyes.

"You don't need to worry about things online," Chi Shen said in a low voice.

His words were just a simple consolation; after saying them, he stood aside.

Xie Qingyu didn't even get a chance to say thank you.

Over the next few days, Xie Qingyu had a lot of scenes to film, and the director's scenes were filmed relatively intensively, so Xie Qingyu was able to rest a little after filming for these few days.

These past few days, my scenes with her have mostly been with the female lead, Xia Qinghuan.

In the drama, after she was betrothed to the Prince's mansion, she basically had no power because the Ninth Prince suspected her of having ulterior motives.

Meanwhile, Yueji, who had entered the Prince's mansion earlier, relied on her position as the Ninth Prince's first concubine and thus had a certain influence in the mansion, so she made things difficult for her.

When the princess first married into the household, she was naive and had no intention of doing anything to the concubines. As a result, she fell into Yueji's trap and soon after taking over the management of the household, she had unpleasant encounters with various people.

Before she married into the household, Yueji was in charge of the inner courtyard. Now, she appears before her as a kind person and pretends to be helpful by telling her about the situation in the mansion.

"Your Highness comes from a prominent family, so naturally you know more about these things than I do. I just happen to have arrived earlier and know more about these people's little schemes," Xie Qingyu said humbly.

"You're so thoughtful. You came to the manor early and you're very sensible. That's good." Although the princess didn't think much of concubines like Yueji, she still knew how to say polite things.

She was just a concubine; her father had a whole bunch of them, and they were no different from maids.

It was only after she encountered repeated setbacks after entering the mansion that the nanny reminded her that she could start with roses.

The rose looks quite well-behaved, after all, it was a gift from the palace. If it continues to be so docile, that's fine.

With each woman harboring her own thoughts, this was Xie Qingyu's last indoor scene with Xia Qinghuan.

"Good, you all did a great job." The director gave his usual praise after yelling "Cut."

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Xia." Xie Qingyu smiled at Xia Qinghuan.

"Yes, you've worked hard too. Thank you for your help. Your acting is really good." Xia Qinghuan also praised reservedly. "I didn't know before. It turns out that rumors are not credible. It's all because you have such a good figure, just like your character, which makes people jealous."

Xia Qinghuan said this with a smile, but the words she uttered were unpleasant.

Although Xie Qingyu's character in the drama does have a great figure, she is a vicious supporting character and not a good person, which sounds rather harsh.

But her joking tone made it seem like nothing was wrong.

Xie Qingyu's smile froze, but Xia Qinghuan continued as if she hadn't noticed, "I hope to see more of your dramas trending on social media in the future."

If she had to discern whether her previous words were unintentional, Xie Qingyu could tell from this statement that she did it on purpose.

For those who are not sensitive to such things, Xia Qinghuan's words seemed normal; they were simply mutual flattery between her and Xie Qingyu.

In reality, she was implying that Xie Qingyu made it to the trending topics because of her figure and various scandalous rumors, rather than because of her acting skills.

This malice came out of nowhere, and Xie Qingyu couldn't immediately figure out where it came from.

"Thank you, and I hope to see you win an award too," Xie Qingyu retorted slightly.

This refers to the fact that Xia Qinghuan's drama was not nominated last year, and fans' indignation on her behalf made it a trending topic.

Xia Qinghuan's face stiffened, as if she hadn't expected Xie Qingyu to be able to retaliate.

But Xie Qingyu was still smiling and seemed quite sincere.

Xia Qinghuan couldn't lash out, so she pretended not to hear and turned to talk to the director.

The two were not talking loudly; people a little further away couldn't hear them. From the side, they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

After filming this scene, Xie Qingyu had no scenes to film for two consecutive days, so she could have a good rest.

She chose to stay at the hotel instead of going to the film set.

"There's a variety show out there. It would have been great to go on just one episode, but unfortunately the director won't let me." Sister Zhang looked at the invitation in her hand. This variety show is a very popular reality show. If Xie Qingyu went, she would probably get exposure and maybe even gain some goodwill.

Sister Zhang is very confident in Xie Qingyu. She has a good personality and could gain fans if she participated in a reality show for a while. However, she can't go there now, so she has to turn down such a good opportunity.

During filming, the director did not allow the actors to leave the filming location, which can be considered a closed management system.

Xie Qingyu could only rest in the hotel.

Sister Zhang went home for two days a couple of days ago, and now she's back with a lot of food for Xie Qingyu. She's divided the food into portions for her so she can have a little bit.

The conditions on set are a bit tough; apart from milk tea and coffee, they can't order any other takeout.

The boxed lunches weren't very tasty.

Xie Qingyu only has Xiaoting as her assistant, so she can't send her out to buy meals. Therefore, Sister Zhang feels especially sorry for her.

Xie Qingyu was eating while the three of them were talking.

As soon as Sister Zhang returned, Xiao Ting complained to her.

"I think Xia Qinghuan doesn't really like Sister Qingyu," Xiaoting said, rubbing her nose. "Her expression was fake when she praised Sister Qingyu."

When Xiaoting was with Xie Qingyu, she would observe the others and was very sensitive to Xia Qinghuan's attitude.

"That shouldn't be the case, Qingyu and she aren't even in the same league," Sister Zhang said, somewhat puzzled.

Although they debuted around the same time, the difference in their appearances is too obvious.

Xia Qinghuan is clearly a popular young actress who focuses on youth films, while Xie Qingyu is a glamorous actress who rose to fame through controversy. The two are basically unrelated and have no conflict of interest.

"Anyway, I think it's normal when she talks to the second female lead, Fang Qing."

Fang Qing isn't a celebrity known for her popularity, but she has a high level of public recognition and is easily recognized both on and off screen. She can be considered a senior figure in the industry.

“I’ll keep an eye on things later. You should also be careful. Her fans are very loyal, and if something happens to you, you could easily…” Even though Sister Zhang didn’t finish her sentence, Xie Qingyu understood.

Her reputation is such that anyone who has a conflict with her will think it's her fault.

Unreasonable.

"I know."

Sister Zhang was still worried, so she picked up her phone and started checking something.

"Today's trending topic is Chi Shen. His movie, 'The Gloomy Genius Doctor,' has been released and is receiving rave reviews," Xiaoting showed her the trending topic.

Xie Qingyu doesn't have a Weibo account; she relies on Xiaoting to talk about the latest big events in the entertainment industry.

Almost all of Shin Ike's films are good, and this one is no exception; it had an extremely high attendance rate.

However, this time he played a villain, subverting his previous image, so it caused a greater reaction.

"Shall we go take a look this afternoon?" Xie Qingyu asked, blinking. "My treat."

"I agree." Xiaoting immediately agreed, then looked at Sister Zhang expectantly.
