"Thank you, everyone!" Seeing that the crowd had cleared a space for them, Chen Jincheng pressed his palms together, bowed to the people around him, and expressed his thanks.

No matter what, you had to act a little more humble and keep a low profile when you were out.

A lot of people crashed and burned because they got too full of themselves.

After that, he turned to Zhang Ao’ai and Li Muchen and asked, "Are you two ready?"

The two women nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Chen Jincheng nodded to the cameraman, signaling that they could start filming.

The people around them grew curious about what kind of video Chen Jincheng was about to shoot. After all, everyone knew he was amazing at making videos, but no one had ever seen him film one in person.

This was a rare opportunity.

Then, they saw Li Muchen walk a short distance away, while Zhang Ao’ai took Chen Jincheng’s hand.

It looked like they were playing a couple.

The two of them started walking forward as Li Muchen approached from the opposite direction. Just as they were about to pass each other, a small trinket fell from Li Muchen.

Chen Jincheng saw it, bent down to help pick it up, and handed it back to Li Muchen. "Miss, you dropped this."

Li Muchen took the item, and looking at Chen Jincheng, she thanked him with a bright smile. "Thanks, handsome!"

Up to this point, nobody thought it was particularly interesting. But in the next moment, just as Chen Jincheng was grinning smugly from being called "handsome," Zhang Ao’ai, playing the girlfriend, was clearly displeased. She yanked her hand away and glared at him with murder in her eyes.

The people around them realized what was happening. It was a jealousy skit.

This was getting interesting.

Chen Jincheng, realizing his mistake, hurried to a nearby milk tea shop and bought her a cup. "Babe, this is your favorite milk tea."

Zhang Ao’ai took the milk tea and repeated flatly, "Thanks, handsome!"

The following scenes finally made the onlookers burst out laughing, especially when they saw Chen Jincheng buying things, offering to carry things, and handing her things... only to be met with Zhang Ao’ai’s deadpan, "Thanks, handsome!" every single time.

’This video is hilarious! Chen Jincheng’s boyfriend character looks like he’s about to have a breakdown, and Zhang Ao’ai’s passive-aggressive jealousy is so relatable.’

It also showed how great her acting was.

’This isn’t the kind of acting you’d expect from an internet celebrity.’

’Besides, if you really had a girlfriend this beautiful, her being a little jealous and passive-aggressive wouldn’t be a dealbreaker.’

Naturally, quiet discussions began to bubble up in the crowd:

"Damn, this video from Chen Jincheng is awesome! It’s funny, and the way the girl gets all passive-aggressive and jealous is exactly like my girlfriend."

"I think the female lead played by Zhang Ao’ai is totally right. A guy who gets a smug grin just from a single compliment by another woman deserves to be punished like this."

"..."

Listening to the discussions around her, Sister Hong knew the boss’s video was going to be a hit. It appealed to both men and women.

’The key thing is, the boss only wrote this script and filmed it on the fly to help Zhang Ao’ai because our flight was delayed by an hour and a half.’

’This just goes to show how incredible the boss is.’

’His inspiration seems endless.’

’And once this video blows up, we can use this story for promotion.’

’Because of a flight delay, the boss was bored and casually helped a girl shoot a video—that’s an absolutely huge gimmick.’

The cameraman also brought the small camera over to Chen Jincheng. "Boss, take a look."

Chen Jincheng took the small camera and began to watch.

’Zhang Ao’ai’s acting is really good,’ Chen Jincheng thought. ’She’s worthy of having professionally studied acting. In another world, she was even scouted by Master Xing to film a short series.’

’This video was basically done in one take.’

’It seems the story from the other world—about the director praising her good acting when she filmed that drama about the Crown Prince Consort, saying most of her scenes were done in one take—was probably true.’

"Not bad, impressive!" Chen Jincheng gave Zhang Ao’ai a satisfied thumbs-up, then instructed Xiaoliao to help edit the video, remove background noise, and so on.

Since the original plan was to go to Shanya for a team-building video shoot, Xiaoliao naturally had his work laptop with him and could start editing anytime, anywhere.

Leaving the remaining tasks to others, Chen Jincheng led the people from Second-Life Star back to the waiting area to wait for their flight.

But the onlookers hadn’t completely dispersed; many were still filming them with their phones from a distance.

Many people were amazed at the speed at which Chen Jincheng filmed. They’d heard many influencers online complain about how exhausting it was to shoot videos, sometimes filming from morning till night, taking a whole tiring day just to produce one video.

But Chen Jincheng finished in a single take, and it hadn’t even been a few minutes.

This was completely different from what those influencers described.

Meanwhile, Xiaoliao was already editing the video. It wasn’t a difficult edit, so he finished it before they boarded the plane and handed it over to Chen Jincheng.

When the video was played, Zhang Ao’ai, Li Muchen, Yinyin, Ximeng, and the other girls all gathered around to watch.

The edited video made Zhang Ao’ai’s jealous, passive-aggressive performance even more apparent.

"Sister Ai, you filmed that so well," Lin Leqing couldn’t help but praise.

Ximeng, being the master of subtle charm that she was, chimed in with a timely compliment: "Yeah, Sister Tian’ai’s acting is amazing. A lot of female leads in TV dramas nowadays can’t even compare to you."

However, Chen Jincheng actually agreed with her statement.

’Zhang Ao’ai really did a great job in this video. Her acting was infinitely more immersive than the amateurs who filmed this skit in my previous life.’

’As for the female leads in those TV dramas? Besides a few of the current young starlets, how many of them can actually act?’
