By the time Xie Ming comes back home, it's already past lunchtime. She freshened up and went to the dining room to have her late lunch. She picked up her spoon and just as she was about to take a sip of the chicken soup, her phone buzzed.
She sighed and picked up the phone seeing Song Xiner's number. It's been quite long since she has called her.
Just as she picked up the call, Song Xiner's energetic voice came from the other side.
" Xie Ming, I have good news for you. Are you at home? Tell me your address, I'll come to you. I need to tell you about it personally."
"-_-"
" Let's meet somewhere else. I am not at home. You..tell me, where you want to meet." Xie Ming said hesitantly as she tried to convince Song XIner to meet out. Hearing her voice she can tell that it must be something good, so she couldn't reject her and let her mood down.
Song Xiner pursed her lips and looked down at her wristwatch and said, " Then meet me at the Red Box cafe near Global World in an hour. This way I can attend the meeting in the evening."
Xie Ming agreed to it and after hanging up the phone she looked at the food guiltily and before getting up, she took two spoonfuls of the soup as it feels bad to leave the food without eating anything.
She hurriedly got ready and left the home without eating anything.
...
By the time, she reached the cafe, Song Xiner was already sitting in the far corner of the cafe. She has already ordered a cold coffee for her and she herself was having a cup of hot coffee.
" What do you want to talk about?" she asked as she sat opposite her and took a sip of her coffee.
Song Xiner smiled and said, " Xu Lan has called me earlier and told me that the editing and the post-production process of the movie has been completed. Now, the movie can be released at it's designated time."
Xie Ming nodded and waited for her to complete her words because she seemed to have more to say.
Song Xiner blinked her eyes and waited for Xie Ming to ask her if this is all she has to say so that she can tell her the real news. But she didn't ask anything.
Her lips twitched and sighed. ' What I was expecting from her?'
She smiled and said excitedly," Xu Lan also told me that someone from the show 'Village Life' has approached her as they wanted to have the main cast of the movie on their show and it will be good for the promotion of the movie since it's going to be released in December. So, along with Wu Sheng, Jian Yan, and Yuan Lei, they had asked you to be on their show as well."
Xie Ming furrowed her brows and thought about it. She has heard about this show somewhere
Her eyes it up as she remembered something similar to watching on tv.
" Ah, the one in which some actors stay in a village together for a few days? Is that the one?"
Song Xiner nodded with a smile and said, " Yes. In this show, you guys will go to the village with the regular cast of the show and spend three nights and four days there. This show lets the actors or idols experience the hard life of the village and its rating has been quite high these days. Along with experiences, they have many games and challenges to keep the show entertaining."
"Not only that, but this show has also won the best entertainment reality show on the RSB channel."
" So, I wanted to tell you that you're going to be part of this show along with everyone? Are you happy? You know, while working on this show you can meet more experienced actors and people in the industry. It will be a good way of exposure for you. Also, after your interview with Ren Zheng, people are asking to see you again."
" This will be a good opportunity for you to build up your fanbase. Are you excited about it?" Song Xiner asked happily with a bright smile.
Song Xiner was excited because a few new actors of Global World have appeared on this show and their popularity boosted after this. One should not underestimate the power of reality shows.
Xie Ming nodded when she heard about her words but didn't react that enthusiastically. Village life? She has spent most of the life moving from one village to other in her past life.
Song Xiner poured her lips and sighed. ' Why does she not show the same enthusiasm as I do?'
….
After a week, Xie Ming was packing her luggage as the next day she was supposed to leave for the Meng Ju village. It was a four-hour drive away. All participants were supposed to meet the regular cast at the venue itself.
She went through her clothes and put comfortable clothes like long dresses, jeans, and tops rather than skirts in her luggage. She didn't put much but just a few pairs of clothes and other necessary stuff.
When Liwei entered the room, his mouth opened in shock seeing only one small trolly bag for her stuff. Don't women carry big luggage bags for their trip? Moreover, she is going to the village, shouldn't she pack some more?
" Don't you need anything else? Would this be enough for you? Aren't you going to stay there for four days?" he asked as he wrapped a hand around her shoulder.
"We're going to the village, that's why I packed this much. " she replied with a straight face.
"-_-"
He pursed his lips as he stared at her with a bewildered gaze. His wife is really different.
He stared at her for a few minutes which made Xie Ming feel embarrassed.
" What?" her cheeks turned red as she asked shyly.
" Do you really have to go there tomorrow? You know that I can't sleep without you being beside me. How can I live without you for four days?" he asked while pouting his lips and looking at her with his puppy-like eyes.
"-_-"
' This guy..'
Xie Ming felt her heart-melting away seeing his extremely soft expressions. He is the President of Jin Corporation yet he acts like a baby.
" So do you want me to pack you in this luggage as well?"
