"Why not the male lead?" The girl's face was full of questions.

After all, in her opinion, the first male lead is much better than the third male lead. She is ready to play the role, so why not just play the one that the audience likes the most?

"The leading male lead for this drama has already been confirmed. This role requires not only strong dialogue skills, but also speaking skills." Ji Yuhan searched out the entry for the confirmed male actor and showed it to her.

"You can attack with lines, but martial arts cannot be learned overnight."

The same reason applies to the second male lead.

"But the third male is the villain."

Qiao Xi was a little worried. After all, after being in a villain environment for a long time, even if he knew it was fake, what if the blackening value increased?

"The positive side of this script is about having the courage to sacrifice in order to save all mankind; the reason why the third male character is defined as a villain is that he wants to save his wife at all costs."

Ji Yuhan had read the introduction to this book before, and he didn't think the third male lead was a villain.

"That's right. If you can't even save your own people, how can you save others?"

Although Qiao Xi's tone was questioning, he also affirmed Ji Yuhan's idea.

"Okay, you go back and wait for the news. I'll call you when I get the spot."

Ji Yuhan has been in the shadow of the kidnapping for the past two days, but it is not realistic to live anywhere in Qiaoxi.

After a friendly negotiation between the two, they decided to let Qiao Xi move to his place to protect him.

Monday,

Dawn has just broken, and the remaining stars have not yet receded.

A science and technology museum store in Longyue Building was already bustling with people queuing up from the entrance of the store to ten meters away.

Because today is the first and only day that this science and technology museum launches a new type of service and elderly care robot, each person is limited to purchasing one, for a total of 100 units.

Qiao Xi yawned and got the last one as he wished.

"Little girl, you also like robots?"

Qiao Xi looked at the gorgeously dressed woman in front of him and slowly shook his head.

The robots of this technology company are very popular, especially now that the pressure on elderly care is huge. Their series of service elderly care robots are always sold out without advertising or pre-sale. The first batch is only a hundred units.

It stands to reason that the follow-up will also be released, but it will be about a month later, but if you are an enthusiast of this series, you must grab the first batch.

Including the woman in front of Qiao Xi, Lin Yaping, Director Fu's wife.

Although she is not an enthusiast, she needs it more.

If a person takes care of four elderly people at home alone, this elderly care robot may be more useful than her husband.

The other buyers, Lin Yaping, knew each other more or less, and knew that they would not be able to give it to her. She was ready to return without success, but her eyes were caught by the yawning little girl in front of her.

She was so young and didn't show any particular enthusiasm for the things in her hands, so maybe she would be willing to give them to her.

"Then you are still willing to queue up to buy?"

"Because I want to give a gift. My boss asked me to buy it."

Lin Yaping originally thought that Qiao Xi was buying it for the elderly at home. When she heard this, she immediately took her wrist and walked to the rest area next to her to sit down.

"What does your boss do? Maybe I know him?" Those who can buy this machine are those who are not short of money, otherwise they will not receive news of the sale.

If she knows her, maybe just ask her boss directly.

Lin Yaping, who was making small calculations, did not notice the excited eyes of the girl opposite her.

"My boss is an artist. He wanted to act in a play. I searched online and found that the director praised the company's robot very much. I was wondering if I could use this thing in exchange for an audition spot for him."

"Are you an artist assistant?" Lin Yaping's eyebrows drooped and she looked at Qiao Xi seriously and calmly.

Wearing a white T-shirt and yellow SpongeBob overalls. With a round face and big eyes, he looks like he just came out of school.

"I'm an agent, I just applied yesterday."

The girl's unpretentious answer made Lin Yaping let down her guard. After all, there are many ways for a new agent to get roles for his artists, but she is the stupidest.

"What's that director's name? Maybe I know him?"

I thought the girl would say it directly, but she waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, artists' itineraries must be kept confidential."

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else. I like this robot very much. It is very important to me. I have four elderly people at home who need to be taken care of... Of course, I am not seeking sympathy."

Probably because her expressive ability was too strong, the girl held her hand with tears in her eyes and said, "You are working so hard!"

Originally, Qiao Xi was planning to use this robot in exchange for resources, but after Lin Yaping's confession, he suddenly felt that doing so was a bit mean, and immediately decided to change the method.

Lin Yaping had taken care of the elderly for so many years, and was considered to be a natural person. Her husband was quite busy, so no one said this to her. When she was told how hard it was by a little girl whom she had only met once, she almost shed tears.

"You take it, I'll think of other ways." Josie put the ticket in her hand and prepared to stand up.

Lin Yaping regained her composure and resumed her previous ladylike demeanor. She held her hand and thanked her.

"Tell me how old the director is, whether he is a boy or a girl, and whether he has any children. I will help you as a reference. After all, they are all in the same circle and like the same things. This is not a leak."

Qiao Xi thought for a moment as if in embarrassment, then said cautiously, "Male, about 40 years old, no children."

When Lin Yaping heard this, she was almost certain that what she had doubted just now was his husband.

Her husband had forwarded the robot's article, so it was not difficult to inquire. At the same time, she was sure that the little girl didn't recognize her, after all, there were no photos of her online.

It must be a coincidence.

"Just buy out-of-print books and the like. It's best to leave your opinion and name of the book on the first page. Directors generally like people with unique insights."

Lin Yaping looked at the time and said, "I know there is one place. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Okay." Qiao Xi responded obediently.

Lin Yaping led Qiao Xi to the bookstore where she often came before, and went straight to the bookshelf at the back. She squatted down, fumbled under it for a long time, and took out a book without a cover.

"Give this book to the director and you should be able to get the answer you want."

This book is a love work between Lin Yaping and Director Fu. Lin Yaping wrote it based on their stories.

Qiao Xi's surprise was written on his face, he put the book away with evasive eyes, said "take care", and left without looking back.

Looking at the girl's slender back, Lin Yaping suddenly felt that she still had some value.

——

Yuyue Community, Ji Yuhan's home.

Ordinary two bedrooms and one living room,

The gray background wall and minimalist decoration style made the whole house seem inexplicably depressing. It wasn't until Josie's things were moved in that it seemed a little bit human.

Ji Yuhan looked at the girl who had been sitting on the sofa all afternoon, walked to her side and sat down leisurely, "What's wrong? Are you depressed because you didn't buy anything?"

There was a hint of teasing in the words of concern.

The little girl swore her promise and came back disgraced three hours later.
