It had been a week after filming all the commercials. Shooting posters was easy, but video still tested acting skills quite a bit. It could also be considered Song JinXing's first time facing the camera test, and the result was pretty good. Even if there were some flaws, they were covered up by his strong beauty.

Flaws could not eclipse his brilliance. Everyone was very satisfied.

Recently, Zhong Ruanxing had classes in the morning, shot commercials in the afternoon, and handled company affairs at night. Her schedule was very full, and she also progressed quickly. At least now, even if the camera was shoved right in her face, she was very calm about it.

Zhong Regent was afraid that being so busy with his own career, he would not have the energy to handle the company’s affairs. But he didn’t expect that this had no effect on the boss at all. During the day, subordinates came to report on the company's finances, and profits had doubled compared to last month!

He was really a model for others, it made people suspect their own value of existence.

Half a month passed very quickly, and it was time to start shooting.

The filming location of this movie was in Hangzhou. Zhong Ruanxing, as the second female lead, did not have too many scenes. It was estimated that shooting would be completed within three months.

Leaving Beijing for three months, the company affairs would really be out of her control. But there was no way around it. Zhong Ruanxing clocked in every day, gave up all her past entertainment and leisure, and sat firmly in the CEO's position. She could not neglect her career either.

This was the education ingrained in him. He did not look down on her just because Zhong Ruanxing was a small star. He respected every career.

No one knew when they could switch back. If they still couldn't find a way to switch back three to five years later, then he might really reconsider the future plans for both of them.

Fortunately, the company's projects were on the right track. He had also been arranging work for the next three months. As long as Zhong Ruanxing followed his requirements, there would be no mistakes.

Moreover, he discovered that when chatting with Zhong Ruanxing recently, she could occasionally chime in with her own opinions on business operations. It looked like she was learning about business management. This was of course a good thing if she could continue to improve and become an insider.

Discovering that she was secretly learning, Song JinXing would unknowingly give her some pointers every night.

Knowing that she was competitive, he didn't say it outright.

The day before leaving, the two met at Zhong's house. It was Song JinXing’s first time shooting, so what luggage to bring was important. Zhong Ruanxing was more handy with packing at home. She also wanted to take the opportunity to tell him some ins and outs about the crew.

These were all experiences that small actors had groped through wind and rain. Although Song JinXing was smart and capable, he really didn't know some of the taboos in the circle.

Apart from this reason, she really missed home.

Hearing from Song JinXing that Zhong Dad had made bamboo shoots and beef sauce in the morning, she couldn't hold back her gluttony.

It just so happened that today was the weekend. Zhong Dad and Liu Cai took Zhong Mom hiking, while Zhong You went to the children's swimming class that she had recently signed up for, to experience swimming with Dai Zhuhe. No one was home, which was convenient for her to go back.

Zhong Ruanxing came at lunch time. Her cooking skills were mediocre, but she could still make noodles. With the sauce that Zhong Dad had pre-cooked, it was the delicious food she had been thinking about.

She had the driver drop her off at the entrance of the community. Zhong Ruanxing walked along the familiar path.

It was an old community. Unlike the property management of commercial housing now, there was an old man sitting at the entrance as the gatekeeper. He was a resident of the community, earning a monthly salary of thousands just to live out his old age.

Although there was access control installed, it was just for show. Delivery people went in and out all the time, and the public access card was placed right next to it! Anyone could use it.

Zhong Ruanxing walked to the access control point and reached for the card. The old man at the door suddenly poked his head out of the small window: "Who are you looking for?"

With so many strangers coming and going every day, I've never seen you ask!

Zhong Ruanxing complained inwardly, but showed no weakness on the surface: "I live here."

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head again and again: "I've never seen you before, you must not be from our community."

This young man was so handsome, even more so than the stars on TV. If he had seen him before, he would definitely not have forgotten! Although there were so many people coming and going every day, the old man knew everyone.

Zhong Ruanxing was speechless.

Before she could say anything, the old man had already waved to the back: "Come and see, this handsome guy said he is from our community. Have you ever seen him?"

The aunties sitting under the banyan tree nearby, cracking melon seeds and chatting, were indeed very curious and gathered around. Among them was Sixth Aunt who lived in the same building as Zhong’s family. The aunties' eyes lit up when they saw this stylish and extraordinary handsome guy.

Zhong Ruanxing's head hurt. Wherever Song JinXing's face went, he really was the focus. She quickly said, "Sixth Aunt, I'm here to see Zhong Ruanxing."

Sixth Aunt suddenly realized: "Oh oh, here to see Ruanxing. " She was puzzled again: "Young man, how do you know me?"

Zhong Ruanxing smiled and said, "Ruanxing introduced you to me last time I was here. Don't you remember?"

Sixth Aunt was confused by her coaxing and began to doubt her own memory: "Oh, is that so...seems familiar. A friend of Ruanxing’s."

Zhong Ruanxing was finally able to enter the community. As the aunties watched her confident back, they couldn't help but gossip: "A friend of the Zhong girl? Isn't he her boyfriend?"

Another auntie said: "I heard from my daughter that celebrities can't just date casually now!"

"But Ruanxing is also at the age to date. This guy looks very good too. Even more handsome than celebrities!"

"Maybe he is a celebrity! How else could he be so handsome?"

"Ruanxing is also pretty. They look good together! He's come to the door, I think there'll be good news from Zhong's family soon."

Zhong Ruanxing didn't expect that just by walking through, she had already gained a reputation of being almost engaged. As she got closer to home, it was hard for her to not feel emotional.

The Song family was very rich. Just one bedroom of Song JinXing was bigger than her whole home. But none of these could compare to her own family.

She never had any great ambitions. She became an actress because she loved it. Although not popular now, the money she earned was enough to support her family.

A small fortune leads to peace. She liked such an ordinary yet warm life. Rather than living in a luxury mansion, she preferred to be with her parents, forever the child in their eyes.

Knowing that she was coming, Song JinXing left the door unlocked.

Zhong Ruanxing pushed the door and went in. The house was unchanged, but it seemed cleaner and tidier than when she was at home.

Hearing the sound, Song JinXing walked out of the kitchen. He was actually wearing an apron, and there was the familiar smell of food in the air. He was probably cooking noodles.

For a moment, Zhong Ruanxing's mind went blank, looking at "herself" in front of her eyes. It felt as if she had married herself!

Seeing her frozen at the door, Song JinXing thought she was just homesick. He took out the new slippers prepared in advance: "The noodles are almost done, come on in."

Very good.

Wearing an apron, she handed her a pair of slippers. Even more like it.

Zhong Ruanxing's mouth was faster than her brain. She subconsciously said, "You're so virtuous."

Song JinXing's eyes twitched violently.
