Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“The Luo family has friends in the diamond business. Luo Jingxuan’s ring must be good,” Fu Xiuyuan said softly.
Looking at Lan Tian on the stage, s.h.i.+ Jin felt sincerely happy for her.
After the engagement ceremony, s.h.i.+ Jin finally found an opening and returned the ring to Madam Lan.
Madam Lan couldn’t help but sigh. “Hey, I really didn’t expect the Luo family to be in this position.”
“No matter what the circ.u.mstances, Lan Tian’s current happiness is enough.”
“Yes, yes.” Madam Lan was prepared for whatever kind of family Luo Jingxuan had, as long as they were good to Lan Tian.
So it was a pleasant surprise to see the Luo family’s situation now.
What was even more rare was that Luo Jingxuan was sincere and down-to-earth. He didn’t seem exaggerated at all, which was indeed rea.s.suring.
Madam Lan was finally relieved.
s.h.i.+ Jin and Fu Xiuyuan said goodbye and left.
Luo Jingxuan came with Lan Tian to see them off.
“Miss s.h.i.+, I have something to tell you,” Luo Jingxuan said.
Lan Tian patted him. “You’re being too polite. Call her Sis like me.”
“Just call me by my name.”
After all, Luo Jingxuan was older than her, and s.h.i.+ Jin was embarra.s.sed to let him call her Sis.
Still polite, Luo Jingxuan said, “Then I’ll call you Sister.”
s.h.i.+ Jin had helped Lan Tian so much, so he still had some respect for s.h.i.+ Jin.
“Sister, didn’t you contact me last time to help you with the game design? I rejected you last time. Do you still need my help? I’m on call.”
His words surprised s.h.i.+ Jin. “You’re LL?”
“Who’s LL?” Lan Tian asked curiously.
“Famous game planners and game designers in the industry have their own unique solutions to the structural problems of various games. They are very mysterious existences in the game world and don’t come out easily,” s.h.i.+ Jin said. “Now that I know it’s you, I’m not surprised. It turns out that your family is in the game industry.”
Lan Tian finally understood. “Ah, I see. That’s why you’re so powerful, Jingxuan. I didn’t even know about it. Why didn’t you agree before?”
“Game related things are just a hobby of mine. I don’t want to serve any employers.”
Therefore, the last time Fu Xiuyuan arranged for someone to contact him and offer all kinds of generous conditions, he was not moved.
“So now you…” s.h.i.+ Jin didn’t want to push him. She respected everyone’s self-choice.
“I’m not willing to serve any employer, but I’m willing to help a friend.” Luo Jingxuan smiled humbly and brightly. “Sister, if you need anything, just call me.”
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled. “Okay, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Lan Tian and Luo Jingxuan were still waving from behind as she and Fu Xiuyuan got into the car.
s.h.i.+ Jin sighed. “I didn’t expect Luo Jingxuan to be LL. Hubby, since he’s willing to help, let Song Fan contact him.”
“Yes, I’ve already informed Song Fan.”
“It looks like he’ll always remember it if we don’t let him return the favor. We’ll stop adding to his psychological burden.”
Fu Xiuyuan tilted his head and looked at her. “You’re always thinking about others like this. Why don’t you think about how long it’s been since you had a good rest?”
Wrapping her arms around him, s.h.i.+ Jin leaned toward him. “It pays to think of others, doesn’t it? So take a look at that game of yours. The problem with the structures that hasn’t been solved is about to be solved.”
Fu Xiuyuan reached out and ruffled her hair, his lips curving into a smile.

s.h.i.+ Jin was the first to wrap up her scenes in Phoenix in the Nine Heavens.
On the day she wrapped up, there were still a lot of scenes left for the others.
Liang Xinran looked envious. “s.h.i.+ Jin, your scenes are done too quickly. No wonder Director Nan has been cooperating with you. Look at me, I still have nearly half a month left.”
“Take your time. There’s no hurry.” s.h.i.+ Jin had wrapped up early. It was normal for others to not finish as quickly.
“Then can I still come to you afterward to discuss the script?”
“Absolutely.” As a screenwriter, s.h.i.+ Jin was actually obligated to discuss the script with Liang Xinran.
It was just that she had never appeared as the screenwriter and the others did not like to ask questions as much as Liang Xinran.
As the third female lead, it was normal that Liang Xinran was not as familiar with the script as s.h.i.+ Jin.
Every character’s logical thought, motive, and purpose had a very clear and complete clue in s.h.i.+ Jin’s mind. The understanding she voiced would always be of great help to the actors.
“What do you plan to do after this? Enter a different set?”
The manager pulled Liang Xinran away and told her not to ask random questions. However, s.h.i.+ Jin did not mind. “I’m going to partic.i.p.ate in a variety show soon. It’s related to games. If you’re free, you’re welcome to come over and play with me.”
Liang Xinran glanced at her manager. “Did you see that? s.h.i.+ Jin didn’t even mind. What’s there to hide?”
s.h.i.+ Jin shook her head and laughed.

Back at Orchid Pavilion, she started packing.
Fu Xiuyuan helped her organize her things. “How many days?”
“It should be finished in a few days. I’ll be back when it’s finished.”
“You’re filming in the capital, but you still have to live with them?” This was something Fu Xiuyuan didn’t want to cooperate with.
“Because they said they wanted to record it together continuously. They also wanted to feel the life and rhythm of the players.” s.h.i.+ Jin smiled and hooked her arms around his neck. “Actually, this way, the recording will be faster. It won’t take too long.”
Fu Xiuyuan wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in the crook of her shoulder. “Mm.”
He was already missing her before she even left.
The variety show that s.h.i.+ Jin was filming was called “Winner Takes All.”
Games had become very popular now, and e-sports was recognized by more and more people. Many television stations and platforms saw the potential in games, so they invited artists to do such variety shows.
The recording had not started yet, but because they knew that s.h.i.+ Jin was involved, many people on the Internet were already looking forward to it.
When s.h.i.+ Jin changed into the uniform of a famous eSports team, her pictures were everywhere.
The variety show “Winner Takes All” had already started to become well known in the variety show industry before it even started recording.
“There are celebrities and some of them are eSports players. When the time comes, everyone will partic.i.p.ate in various compet.i.tions. However, we strictly follow the elimination system. s.h.i.+ Jin, are you alright with that?” the director asked her.
“Okay, no problem.”
“Good. Let’s go in and meet everyone.”
s.h.i.+ Jin walked in and everyone introduced themselves.
The celebrities who were able to partic.i.p.ate in this variety show not only liked to play games, but they also played their own games very well. They could all withstand the test.
“I’m Yang Fan.” A young boy stood up. “h.e.l.lo, s.h.i.+ Jin.”
