“Boss… can I do it?” she asked Lin Zexi cautiously.

Lin Zexi looked at Shen Yiyi for a moment and said, “Do it properly. Don’t embarrass me.”

The director smiled broadly and immediately asked the stylist to take Shen Yiyi to change her outfit.

But since Shen Yiyi was a makeup artist herself, she did her own makeup.

It had been a long time since she had done a girl’s makeup, and she actually felt a bit nostalgic.

When she finished, she walked up to the director.

The director’s eyes lit up instantly. A treasure, this is an unpolished gem.

“Yiyi looks beautiful, right, Boss?” Huang Kankan stood nearby, looking at her with a mix of familiarity and surprise.

Lin Zexi stared at Shen Yiyi quietly, his gaze deep and unreadable, but said nothing.

Director Yin Song then explained the scene to her briefly and let her rehearse a few times.

The result was surprisingly good, so they went straight into filming.

Scene One: Shen Yiyi’s character was about to set off on a journey through the martial world and needed a weapon.

Late at night, she sneaks into her family’s weapon storage room.

Just as she finds a suitable weapon, she accidentally triggers a mechanism and falls flat on her back.

Through the monitor, the director watched as a girl in pink quietly sneaked into the weapon room at night.

She happily picked up a weapon, only to step into a hidden trap the next second and fall flat on the ground.

“Cut—good, pass.”

Scene Two: Shen Yiyi rode a horse with a bundle on her back, looking into the distance with eyes full of hope and longing.

“Cut—good, pass.”

The shoot went smoothly, and everyone applauded. The director was very satisfied with Shen Yiyi’s performance.

“Yiyi, have you ever considered becoming an actress?” the director asked with great anticipation.

“No, no,” Shen Yiyi quickly refused. “My goal is to be a makeup artist.”

“What a pity,” the director said regretfully.

“Director, the red envelope,” the assistant director said, handing him one.

The director took it with a smile and passed it to Shen Yiyi. “Girl, this is your payment. Take it.”

“This… I feel a bit embarrassed,” Shen Yiyi said, though her eyes curved with obvious happiness.

“Take it. Otherwise, I’ll have Zexi deduct your salary,” the director joked.

The moment she heard “deduct salary,” Shen Yiyi immediately accepted it without hesitation.

Her modest probation salary couldn’t afford any deductions.

Holding the heavy red envelope, she was overjoyed.

But then she felt it was a bit too much for such a short shoot, so she politely added, “Director, if you ever need another extra, I’ll do it for free next time.”

“Really?” the director asked.

“Really,” Shen Yiyi confirmed seriously.

The director left with a satisfied smile.

Crew members whispered among themselves: She must be the daughter or relative of some big shot.

Other actresses had to fight tooth and nail just to get a small role, yet Shen Yiyi was being coaxed by the director to act.

Shen Yiyi hadn’t changed out of her costume or removed her makeup yet.

Taking advantage of Lin Zexi and Huang Kankan being away, she slipped into the motorhome and started counting money.

Thick stacks of cash, after counting, it came out to several tens of thousands.

After finishing his scene, Lin Zexi was about to return to the motorhome when he noticed Huang Kankan pressed against the door, peeking inside.

“What are you doing?” Lin Zexi asked.

“Boss… Yiyi is counting money,” Huang Kankan whispered.

Lin Zexi followed his gaze.

Inside, Shen Yiyi was happily counting cash, her fingers moving skillfully through the bills.

The scene was both amusing and a little exasperating.

At the end of the month, filming finally wrapped.

On the day of the farewell, the director added Shen Yiyi on WeChat and said he would need her again for his next project as an extra.

Shen Yiyi happily agreed without hesitation.

Lin Zexi’s next schedule was a concert tour, which required preparation. He specially gave Huang Kankan and Shen Yiyi two days off.

On the first day of the break, Shen Yiyi slept until she naturally woke up.

After getting up, she went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.

Recently, she had earned a bit of extra money, so she also bought a floor lamp for herself and a foot massage bucket for her father.
