Chapter 192 - Ever Man For Himself

3 AM

Elizabeth departed from Imperial Garden Plaza to Global Star. Outside Liying and Wang Ji were waiting for her. When they saw the familiar car that normally drops off the girl off, Liying instantly went towards the car and waited for her to come out.

"Sis Li Zi, I made some hot choco."

Liying spoke which startled the girl whilst staring at the silver thermos on her hand.

Elizabeth was surprised when Liying appeared her all of a sudden. Especially she was dropped off by her parents who were inside the car. She quickly closed the door preventing Liying from seeing them.

"Thanks, Liying."

Liying just walked away showing no interest. It surprised Elizabeth when she notices Liying and Wang Ji seems to be disinterest when she came out of the car. As if they've accepted the fact of who she is despite they don't know who she really is. Nor do they wish to know as well...

Seeing the two patiently waiting for her made Elizabeth heart warm, to think someone would trust her despite all the secrecy.

"Bro Wang how far are we from the meeting point?" Elizabeth asked as she seated herself at the back seat.

"Quite far, it's a five-hour drive…" Wang Ji continued to explain whilst double-checking all their stuff.

"Sis Li Zi, I prepared the blankets and pillow for you already," Liying spoke who was helping Wang Ji arrange their stuff at the back.

After her performance for Perfect and the completion of her movie, she became busier. The company gifted her a Celebrity Van a week ago in order to accommodate her busy schedule. It was very spacious, it has a 2 seater front seat next to the driver seat. 2 pairs of separated 2 seat at the back and at the very end was a 3 seater which was foldable in order to fit all of the girl's stuff. In total it was a 10 seater van which International or Elite celebrity normally used, but for the company, they felt she needed one.

"By the way Li Zi this is Jiang Ru, his the new member of our team. Not only is he the driver but also your bodyguard." Wang Ji explained as he seated in the front with him.

"I'm in your care Uncle Jiang."

"Thank you, Miss Li Zi."

"Liying can you get my school bag please?"

Liying carefully went to the back as they set off to the meeting place. She came back carrying a small navy blue rucksack.

"Here you go Sis Li Zi."

"Thanks."

Elizabeth got her notes out as she started reviewing her lesson. Since she was busy studying, Liying rested so did Bro Wang. In the end, it was only her and of course Jiang Ru who were wide awake.

"Uncle Jiang lets take a break, take the next exit." Elizabeth got up and pointed her fingers at the upcoming exit.

Jiang Ru followed her order as he took the exit and turned to the rest and service area (RSA). Since it was still early in the morning there weren't a lot of people outside.

"I'll be back Uncle Jiang."

...

Moments later, Wang Jin and Liying woke up after noticing the car has stopped.

"Sis Li Zi?" Liying screamed realizing she wasn't in her seat.

"Wheres Li Zi?" Wang Ji looked pale as he asked Jiang Ru.

Jiang Ru pointed outside the front window, as he saw the girl coming back with some food. Wang Ji quickly got out of the car to help her.

"Li Zi, why didn't you wake me up?"

"It's fine Bro Wang."

Inside the van, they all ate the food and drinks that she brought for them. Since it was already bright when they finished their meal, they eventually continued ahead to the meeting point.

...

In the meeting area, all the staff were preparing whilst some of the celebrities we're getting their makeup done.

"We sure travel quite far for the second shoot Director." Huang Ming said.

Mo Ting greeted the boy as he answered him, "Since we saw Li Zi was showing quite some skills we might at least test her right."

Huang Ming was speechless, did they travel all the way out of nowhere just because of her. He still wonders what she did last time in order to get the coin. Since the first episode will be released on friday it will still not show then. Since some of the editors told him that they put that part in the third episode.

"Yuexi An is here…"

Cheered some of the fans who lived in the area after finding out she'll be here.

Yuexi An came out of her van looking all fresh already. She smiled as she greeted her fans and received their gift. At the same time she even went and took photos with them.

"Show off…" Huang Ming said causing Mo Ting to laugh. Seeing the director laughed made him laugh and smiled as if both of them were in sync of what they were thinking.

Moments later everyone arrived apart from the person everyone is eager to see.

"Is Senior Li Zi not here yet?" Yang Zi asked closing to Huang Ming and the Director with Leo Wu.

Everyone were all surprised when a grand celebrity van arrived. Yuexi An fans were all taken aback seeing the luxurious van.

"Who could it be?"

When they saw who came down the front passenger seat everyone was surprised, it was the girl's manager and assistant that came down. When Huang Ming notice who came down, he quickly walked towards them.

"Li Zi, good morning." Huang Ming said as he reached out his hand to help her down.

"Thanks, Bro Ming, good morning too…" Elizabeth greeted him with a bright morning smile on her face.

"Li Zi your finally here." Mo Ting approached and greeted the girl as well.

"Sis Li Zi…"

"Senior Li Zi."

Both Yang Zi and Leo Wu came running to greet her as well. It was not just them who showed interest toward her arrived but almost the entire staff. After what they witness, the producers and writers decide to change the script for today's show because of her.

Yuexi An was furious seeing all the sudden attention was taken away from her. Her manager has paid a lot to have this so-called fan be here today yet it was nothing compared to the attention the girl was getting.

"Alright, everyone get ready…" The assistant director announced.

All main stars were then surrounded by there stylist and makeup artist, it was only Elizabeth who didn't have such a team. Everyone notice that Liying was preparing the girl's drink while Wang Jin and Jiang Ru were just casually talking with the staff. They all then wonder who was helping the girl prepare.

When Liying came back to the car to hand the girl her drink everyone was impressed by her sudden change. She wasn't wearing any heavy makeup nor dress stylishly but she was very charming despite how she dressed.

The other celebrity's manager walked over to Wang Jin.

"Manager Wang, does Li Zi do her own makeup?"

"Doesn't Liying help her out with her clothes?"

Wang Ji laughed hearing the other managers' ridiculous question, "Li Zi told us it not necessary to wear such outfit for a show and to wear makeup. Since in the end, it will all just wash away and her clothes will be a mess anyway."

The managers were all speechless, what the girl said was actually true. Yuexi An's manager overheard their conversation, for a moment how he wished Yuexi An would think like that as well.

Huang Ming overheard their conversation, in the end, he told his stylist and makeup artist to stop. Eventually, even Yang Zi and Leo Wu ordered there staff as well.

In the end, they only needed to wait for Yuexi An since the senior cast of the show really didn't wear makeup since they've been on the show for too long nor did Yixing Zhang after what happened on the first day. After Yuxi An finished her makeup, no one was quite impressed with her beauty at all. They didn't see any difference in her and they felt she wasted everyone time instead.

As the host (meaning Lin Qin and Deng Lun) introduced the show and greeted everyone, the director then started explaining this episode schedule.

"Like I said, this time is ever man for himself. It means you can even leave your own partner if you…"
