That day, Jiang Lai came to Xinyi to dub the TV series "Shaoyin".

Sister Xue explained the details of the final scene to Jiang Lai, "You need to separate this part from the radio drama. The TV series and the radio drama are a bit different. The plot here has been changed. Shao Yin is actually wavering and hesitant here, especially when Yan comes to find her. The emotions here need to be delicate and complicated, but in the end she will definitely die for her cause. She is still in that fearless state, but Yan's appearance makes her waver. The struggle here needs to be more straightforward, and the emotions between the two should be more outward... Can you go over the scene with me first?"

“No problem.” Jiang Lai said, picking up the script and glancing at it.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Lai's tone and expression were indifferent.

"Shaoyin! I've come to see you!" Xuejie's voice revealed a sense of anxiety and urgency.

"Now? At a time like this? Here? I don't know what I have to say to the Demon Lord, or are you going to sacrifice yourself in my place?" The tone was mocking, unwilling, and the trembling voice revealed the speaker's inner struggle and fear.

Do we really have to talk to each other like this?

"Then how do you want me to tell you!" She gripped the script tightly in her hand.

Although this dialogue was supposed to be a scene between a man and a woman, because of Xue Jie's profound skills, even though it was a female voice, Jiang Lai did not feel out of place. On the contrary, the two of them went back and forth, and their cooperation was seamless.

"Through heaven and earth, we shall never meet again!"

Jiang Lai finished reading her lines. The script read: "Shao Yin leaped into the air and died for her cause."

The story of Shokichi ends here.

"Clap clap clap," Hao Ge, the post-production team member, clapped his hands. "If you two had just gone in, it would have been a piece of cake! You could have left work early today." He said, giving a thumbs up. "Little Jiang, you're really amazing. If you told me you studied this professionally, I would believe you! This is no worse than a formally trained actor! Lingyin really knows how to pick people. No wonder they've been able to develop so successfully."

"Brother Hao, that's really going too far!" Jiang Lai gave him a "low-key" gesture.

"Don't be modest!" Hao Ge replied tactfully.

Sister Xue laughed and said, "He's right, you really are talented. With your voice, you could easily do campus dramas with just a slight change from your natural tone. It's good to be young. Speaking of which, our company has a campus drama in production right now. It's already filmed, but some post-production stuff is still a bit unfinished. It'll be airing soon, otherwise I would really recommend you try for the female lead. It's one of those web dramas, you know?"

“I know,” Jiang Lai said. “The kind that’s short and concise, right?”

"Well, each episode is only about ten minutes long! The higher-ups said that short video platforms are developing better and better, and perhaps these short dramas will become people's first choice in the future."

Web series are still in their early stages of development in this world, with TV dramas and movies remaining the mainstream. This is also the first time that Xinyi has tried to produce this kind of short web series.

Sure enough, this company and its employees are very ambitious (?).

“Indeed, TV dramas are too long, short dramas are much better,” Jiang Lai commented. “And short dramas are perfect for watching as electronic pickles.”

"Electronic pickled vegetables?" "You can watch them while eating, so it won't take up much time."

"That's true. If you're interested, I can keep an eye out for you later. You'll definitely be the female lead!" Sister Xue had been subtly trying to bring her into the company for some time now, perhaps under Zhou Jinghui's "instructions."

"Hehe!" Jiang Lai chuckled twice. "You flatter me~ but I'll pass!"

"Alright, ladies, that's enough chit-chat. Let's go inside! Let's try to get everything done today, then we can all leave early, right?" Hao said.

"Okay!" Jiang Lai said confidently.

-

Jiang Lai performed exceptionally well today, with virtually no problems, and completed the task quickly.

"That's great! It's finished!" Sister Xue excitedly hugged her. "We finally managed to salvage this role a little, although it's definitely still terrible, but there's nothing we can do. Your payment will be transferred later, remember to check and leave a positive review~"

"Definitely!" Jiang Lai smiled. "There's nothing else for me to do, right? Then I'll be going?"

"Sure, I'll give you a ride..." Sister Xue said.

Just as Jiang Lai was about to refuse, the recording studio door was suddenly pushed open.

"Sister Xue! I need your help!" A young man who looked to be in his early twenties pushed open the door and blurted out this sentence.

The three people in the recording studio were all startled.

"What are you doing? So reckless!" Sister Xue scolded him.

The boy bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and cried out, "I'm sorry! But please, Sister Xue, save the child! Save me, save me, save me!"

"Pfft—" Jiang Lai laughed. This person is quite interesting.

The boy looked up and noticed there were other unfamiliar people in the recording studio. When he saw it was a pretty girl, his face instantly turned as red as a boiled shrimp. "There's someone here! Is this the artist our company just signed?"

"No, what's wrong? You're screaming like a pig being slaughtered. Anyone who didn't know better would think our company has done something to our employees!" Sister Xue asked.

The boy shook his head frantically: "No, no! Sister Xue! I've run into trouble! My little drama, wasn't it already in post-production? And the theme song, that sweet little song, was supposed to be a duet between the male and female leads, but I didn't expect that those two, whose lines were pretty good and whose acting was okay, were both tone-deaf!!!"

The boy looked utterly desperate: "One of them is off-key, and then the other one is off-key too, like they're worlds apart. We can't get them back on track. I've had the teacher teach them for ages, but the two of them just can't get it right!!"

"Sister Xue, you go teach them! Teacher Zhang has already left in anger." The boy made a bitter face.

"Old Zhang was so angry he left? Then I'm not going. Why should I make things difficult for myself?" Sister Xue frowned. Old Zhang is a veteran in the company. What kind of people hasn't he managed? If he could still be so angry he left, then he really is no good.

"Sis! This is our company's first short drama! Can you bear to see it go to waste?"

"You're quite bold to talk about a show that hasn't even aired yet," Hao Ge interjected.

"It's always good to be confident. Anyway, this is the theme song!! We could have asked other people in the company to sing it, but their renditions didn't feel right to me." The boy replied to Hao Ge, then turned to Xue Jie: "Xue Jie, you're like a sister to me, please help the kid out again!"

"You really are—" Sister Xue shook her head helplessly: "Are those two lead actors really not good enough?"

"With Sister Xue teaching me, I'll definitely be able to do it!" the boy said obsequiously.

"Shut up now!"

Sister Xue shook her head, then looked at Jiang Lai and said apologetically, "Then I won't see you downstairs. You can manage on your own, right?"

"It's okay, don't worry about me. This isn't my first time here. The receptionist knows me." Jiang Lai shook her head, indicating that it wasn't a big deal.

"Alright, then go down by yourself. Be careful on your way back."

"I understand." Jiang Lai said goodbye to Sister Xue and Brother Hao, and also greeted the clumsy boy before leaving the recording studio.

The boy blushed as he said goodbye to her, watched her walk away, and then excitedly asked, "Isn't this girl a new recruit the company has its eye on? Her facial features are perfectly proportioned, her bone structure is great, and her figure is well-proportioned. She looks great on camera!"

Sister Xue slapped the back of his head, "Showing off that you can read faces? You think you can? People have wanted to sign her for a long time, but she herself didn't seem interested."

"Oh, what a pity!" The boy slapped his thigh. "Otherwise, I would have really liked to cast her as the female lead in my next drama!"

"This one hasn't even aired yet, and you're already thinking about the next one? You're dreaming!" Hao patted him on the shoulder, not hard at all.

"Ouch! What are you doing, Hao-ge?" the boy squealed like a pig.

"Who told you to come in so early and startle me?" Hao said.

"Sister Xue, look at him!!!" the boy complained.

"Stop arguing, you two. Do you still want me to teach those two main characters?" Sister Xue stopped the two who were about to start fighting.

"Yes, yes! My dear sister, please step outside!" The boy gestured for her to go.

"He's acting all crazy every day." Sister Xue was amused by his strange behavior and jokingly scolded him.

"Hehehe!" The boy laughed carefree.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lai returned to school smoothly and immediately immersed herself in her studies.

These past two days she's been spending time at the library with Xiangyue, doing practice problems for math competitions.
