The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 235 - Picking Up From the Airport (1)
Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Picking Up From the Airport (1)
The plane had just landed, and Xia Siyu had not even collected her luggage when she received a call from Qin Baizhou.
Qin Baizhou started by asking her, “How was your trip this time? Happy or not? Tired or not? Were Italy and Germany interesting?”
Xia Siyu wouldn’t mention her stuff with Sicily and responded very officially, “What’s there to be happy or unhappy about? It’s all for making money.”
The country now has very strict rules on artist salaries, with a maximum of ten million for a variety show. To the average person, this is a sky-high salary, but in the entertainment industry, this is already a reduced rate. And even with such rates, it’s rare to sign top-tier stars like Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, unless the platforms offer them additional benefits to agree.
Moreover, as frightening as this price seems, after taxes, splits with the agency and the team, they might only see two or three out of ten. Some artists with lower cuts might not even get a tenth of what’s stipulated in the contract. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Xia Siyu doesn’t have much concept of money. She lived in Sicily with her mother as a child, but her mother was a film queen, and her father was an entrepreneur. Although her mother didn’t raise her to be a high-society lady, she never lacked money. Once she became an artist, she was always at the top, and both her film salary and appearance fees were first-rate, so she never worried about these things.
Once Qin Baizhou heard her reply, he knew she was joking and didn’t burst her bubble.
He chuckled, “Then how did you get along with the other guests this time, like Shang Feifei and Li Yiru, with whom you’ve had conflicts before?”
Xia Siyu was indifferent and pursed her lips, “Just so-so.”
She truly was indifferent. Her attitude towards Shang Feifei and Li Yiru was the same as her attitude towards the overwhelming insults.
After all, those two were neither her friends nor her relatives. Except for the occasional work intersection, they didn’t spend any other time together. Why should she bother with what they think or how they badmouth her?
It was right for them not to like her, given that she looks so good. From her debut, she has been referred to as the “female public enemy.” Countless boyfriends and husbands drooled over her face and figure, causing domestic disarray.
Of course, for ordinary people, such reports are exaggerated. But for female stars in the entertainment circle, her appearance is nothing short of a disaster.
As long as she is there, all the spotlights are on her. As long as she is on the show, whether sitting in the front row or the last, cameras will capture her.
Even if she doesn’t wear a gown on the red carpet and comes out in a sack, some will see it as an international fashion trend, unusual and unique, and it will make other female stars look tragic by comparison.

Shang Feifei had been eclipsed by her for many years until she recently won the Best Actress award and gained the status to sit on an equal footing with her.
As for Li Yiru? To use a fan circle term, comparing her with Xia Siyu is “punching above her weight.” In terms of star power, compared to Xia Siyu, she’s just a “foot-washing maid.”
Why should she bother giving attention to someone filled with jealousy, who can’t even reach her level? That would just be raising Li Yiru’s profile, wouldn’t it?
Qin Baizhou chuckled again; he had known Xia Siyu for many years and naturally understood her personality. He brought up Shang Feifei and Li Yiru only to lead to the next question, “So how did you get along with Bo Yan? Give me an honest answer, because outside the airport, there are a lot of reporters, all here for the two of you.”
