“Fifty bucks, that’s the most I can offer!” Director Xu, seeing that he still hadn’t spoken, couldn’t help but get a little anxious and upped the offer again.

Fifty!

Fifty dollars!

Now he could earn in a month what his mother made in the factory in a whole year and a half!

Big brother was almost fainting.

So much, so much money!

“It’s settled then, I’ll act,” Xia Ningxing said, seeing that her big brother was out of it and probably not dependable, so she agreed for herself.

Fifty dollars a day for an unknown child actor at the end of the eighties, when the average salary was a hundred or two hundred, was already quite good. Those with no fame whatsoever were only making three or four dollars.

“Good! Can you read? This is the script! We start shooting the day after tomorrow, right here. Make sure to memorize your lines, and if you can’t read, have someone who can teach you,” said Director Xu as he handed her the script.

“Got it, Director,” Xia Ningxing nodded her little head, indicating that she was all ok.

While the two were talking, the girl who had made a bet with Ningxing was trying to sneak away with her mother.

Ningxing caught a glimpse of them from the corner of her eye and grabbed the other party with her hand: “Hold it right there!”

The girl looked up only to meet Ningxing’s smirking gaze, which immediately made her feel guilty.

Ningxing reminded her, “Where do you think you’re going? Call me ‘grandma’ before you leave!”

“…I, I don’t want to!” The girl, though only a ten-year-old child, also had a sense of shame, and there was no way she would do it. She stomped her feet and started crying outright.

Well, where was this acting before?

Ningxing couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

The girl’s mother saw her precious daughter crying and immediately panicked, shoving Ningxing’s hand away and glared at her: “You little brat, get lost.”

Big brother, the overprotective brother that he was, couldn’t stand it and snapped, “Your daughter is the little brat! Not keeping her word! Bad child!”

“Tsk, brave enough to compete but too scared to face the consequences!” Xia Ningxing, on the other hand, just flipped them off directly, and seeing the liver-colored faces they made, she couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Some people just love to look down on others and have no idea how high the sky is or how deep the earth is—they need to be taught a lesson!

To prevent them from offending someone important in the future and being unable to get out of the trouble they caused, ah, it’s just a pity that her well-intentioned advice was completely lost on them!

With the air of someone who got away with something, Ningxing hummed a tune and dragged her brother onto the bus home.

On the bus, Ningxing flipped through the script.

The series was of the youth genre, telling the story of a girl who grew up in an orphanage and, after being rejected for adoption time and again, was finally taken in by the neighbor of the male lead. The mischievous and adorable girl falls in love at first sight with the boy next door.

Then she sets off a series of amusing and awkward efforts to chase after him.

Until they grew up and finally ended up together.

It was a warm and sweet TV series that could make the heart flutter.

“Sister!” Just as Ningxing was pondering over the script, her big brother, as if he had just snapped back to reality, swallowed and couldn’t help but ask her for confirmation, “Is what the director said about fifty dollars a day true?”

“Yes, what about it?” Ningxing blinked her clear eyes, looking at him confusedly.

Big brother: “Isn’t that too much?”

“What’s too much about it.” Ningxing shrugged nonchalantly.

In the past, she made millions for each scene, with a total of several billion for a whole film. Now it was only fifty bucks for a whole day. Even in the future, that would only be equivalent to a couple of thousand—practically negligible.

“Sister, you’re really calm,” Big brother said, patting the back of his head while feeling somewhat inferior.

Xia Ningxing pursed her lips and smiled, then continued reading the script.

As they were nearing home, Ningxing finally put away the script. Her dark eyes turned to her big brother, and with a slight sigh of worry, she said, “Brother, don’t tell mom about this, otherwise she won’t agree to let me act to earn money.”

If Mrs. Xia found out she also had to do wire work in this show, she would probably never allow her to act.

She didn’t want her plan to make money to be ruined by her own mother.
