When the Side Character Gets a System and Travels through Difference Worlds Chapter 282: Tang Li 10

They had already encountered cloud brocade and Su embroidery at the first two stops. Now, they were on to the third: Kesi silk tapestry. Reading the introduction to Kesi, Ning Yao couldn’t help but sigh.

After the first two stops, neither You Li nor Xie Yunzhi had been able to get the hang of the crafts, and in the end, they had to rely on her. ’So is that why the director chose ? Because I’m reasonably good with my hands?’

Xie Yunzhi glanced at Ning Yao, then at You Li, and suddenly raised an eyebrow. "Once this show airs, Teacher You and I are going to look like total deadbeats. All the show’s highlight reels will be thanks to Teacher Ning."

Ning Yao smiled. "It’s not that bad. You two just aren’t big on handicrafts. I’m the one who’s not good at communicating with people. You two are always the ones to step forward. I was afraid I was holding everyone back."

You Li chuckled. "How could that be? To be honest, I was a little nervous when I first signed on for this show. We may know how to act, but we’re definitely not what you’d call dexterous. And with our the being the Silk Road, asking Little Xie and to do embroidery... we really couldn’t handle it."

"Thankfully, not everything is related to silk. There are other projects later on. Little Xie and I should be able to make ourselves useful then."

Xie Yunzhi added, "But seriously, filming this show is really comfortable."

You Li replied, "How could it not be? It’s like being on vacation. The director is calling for us. Let’s finish filming and wrap up for the day."

While the cast was filming, Tan You usually wasn’t involved. Of course, that didn’t an she was idle. As the head of her company’s planning departnt, she had to constantly produce new material.

Just because one project was up and running didn’t an she could rest. On the contrary, she had to prepare for the next one. After all, with so many people waiting to climb the ladder, the mont you slacked off, soone would be eyeing your position.

After watching the shoot for a bit, Tan You found a spot to sit down and continued to scribble in her notebook. Seeing her engrossed in her planning, the staff subconsciously gave her a wide berth, leaving her in peace.

Even while busy with work, Tan You kept an eye on Fang Xiang’s side of things. He had returned in defeat, but Tan You didn’t believe a professional con artist like him would give up so easily. They would find a way, any way, to achieve their goals.

’And this has nothing to do with romance. It’s just that they can’t accept their failure... or maybe they don’t want to ruin their reputation in the business?’

Sure enough, over the next month, Tan You encountered four different n, one after another. There was the gentle type, the refined type, the cool-and-handso type, and even the aloof, untouchable "flower on a high peak" type.

If Tan You hadn’t already seen the transaction records between these n and Fang Xiang, courtesy of 021, she might have actually thought she was so kind of irresistible charr, with every man ready to fall at her feet.

The film crew, for their part, had gone from initial shock to calm acceptance. Now, they even gathered around with popcorn, eager to see what style of man would try to approach Tan You next.

One of the script supervisors counted on their fingers. "That gentle type last ti was great. When he smiled at you, I wanted to just rip my heart out and give it to him."

"The cool-and-handso one wasn’t bad either. Talk about a height difference!"

"And what about the aloof one? He only ever showed a tiny shred of gentleness when he was facing our director."

"Speaking of which, Fang Xiang from our company wasn’t bad either, the younger, ’little puppy’ type..."

"Tsk, tsk. Director Tang has already unlocked so many types in her collection of suitors."

"Too bad our director has a heart of stone and won’t give any of them a chance."

It wasn’t just the crew gossiping; Xie Yunzhi, You Li, and Ning Yao were curious too. During a rare mont when they were all gathered around a stove for warmth, the director asked curiously, "With so many suitors, is there really not a single one you like?"

Tan You looked up. Every single person there had their ears pricked, desperate to hear the latest gossip firsthand.

"I’d say I’m only a six out of ten in the looks departnt," Tan You said, prodding a beef bone on the grill. "My personality isn’t the gentle and kind type, either. And when it cos to work, I’m decisive and I never dither."

"Having so many people pursue doesn’t satisfy my vanity," she said, her eyes narrowing. "On the contrary, it just makes more vigilant. If soone suddenly appears in my life and seems to be a perfect match for , my first reaction isn’t that I’ve t my soulmate."

"Instead, I wonder if they’ve been plotting against all along. After all, there are plenty of people like that out there. I may not be fabulously wealthy, but I’m comfortably well-off."

"Besides, their gazes aren’t pure. I can tell real, genuine feelings from a person’s eyes. And it’s very clear that none of these n have them."

The director was silent for a mont. "You’re not wrong to think that way, but are you really not tempted at all? With so many different types of n, you’re telling you don’t feel even a flicker of interest?"

"I have absolutely no interest in love," Tan You said, flipping the beef bone. "Love and affection don’t bring any tangible benefits. On the contrary, they would consu a lot of my ti, and I’m extrely unwilling to waste my energy on other people."

"It’s hard enough for to manage my work and take care of my family. Why should I go worrying about soone else?"

"Besides, it’s already hard enough for won in the workplace. I’m not about to let these things jeopardize the career I’ve worked so hard to build."

Xie Yunzhi sumd it up: "So when everyone says you have a heart of stone, they’re not wrong at all."

Tan You laughed too. "I don’t care what anyone thinks. Just because soone expresses interest in doesn’t an I have to accept it. Besides, their intentions aren’t pure. I know exactly what they’re trying to get from ."

You Li seed to be catching on. "You know, there used to be gangs like that back in the day, called ’romance scamrs.’ After choosing a target, they’d find out everything about their preferences and then approach them with a tailored strategy."

"We’re in a new era now, so you see fewer of them out in the open, but most have just gone underground. It looks to like that’s who you’ve run into."

Tan You snapped her fingers. "Teacher You really is worldly-wise."

The director asked, "So how did you get targeted by them?"

Tan You answered vaguely, "It’s just about material possessions, nothing too difficult to talk about. Once filming for the show is over, I’ll have the ti to deal with them."

"For now, I’ll just let them have their fun."

You Li shook his head. "So you’ve just been treating this whole thing as a show to watch?"

"Not exactly watching a show," Tan You said, shaking her head. "I never underestimate an enemy. I just want to see how far they’re willing to go. After all, this is my first ti dealing with people like this. I might as well learn sothing from it. Wouldn’t it be boring to expose them right away?"

You Li advised, "This kind of group has connections with all sorts of shady characters. You need to be careful. So of them play dirty. If you can take care of this, you should do it sooner rather than later."

He was usually the type to keep to himself to stay out of trouble, but he felt a certain rapport with Tan You, which was why he had said so much.

Tan You chuckled softly. "I know. Thank you for the advice, Teacher You."
