Fake heiress tore up the script, acted lazy and dumb, and got eliminated.

Chapter 35: Even the Turtle Hermit Is an Immortal

Chi Fengxiao raised his eyebrows and asked Chi Qian, "Do you want to try?"

"Is there money involved?" Chi Qian asked honestly.

Working for free? No way. Not in a lifetime.

The director said, "Yes, yes, I'll give you a big red envelope!"

Chi Qian agreed immediately.

The director then told her that the role wasn't difficult—she just needed to look 'immortal,' and the rest was up to her creativity.

Chi Qian: Got it! Immortal it is!

Fifteen minutes later, Chi Qian appeared in front of everyone after getting dressed.

Everyone was dumbfounded, silent, and stunned.

Chi Qian wore a light green, soft gauze dress layered with thin fabric, the hem flowing gracefully.

And then—

She had a huge turtle shell strapped to her back.

Chi Fengxiao's eye twitched. "Chi Qian, what is that thing on your back?"

"A turtle shell."

"Did you forget you're supposed to be a little fairy?" Which fairy carries a turtle shell?

"I didn't forget." Chi Qian took slow steps toward him, confidently explaining, "Turtle Hermit — isn't that immortal enough? Plus, turtles live long lives!"

Chi Fengxiao covered his face. Turtle Hermit? That's not a little fairy!!

Really, she was supposed to play a fairy, not a comedy act!

The director, however, looked delighted and immediately decided, "Qian Qian's idea is interesting! Let's change the role to Little Turtle Hermit!"

The assistant director also agreed enthusiastically, "It'll be a highlight in the commercial!"

"..."

Chi Fengxiao reluctantly finished the shoot.

Chi Qian happily received a big red envelope, beaming with joy.

Watching her count the crisp bills again and again, Chi Fengxiao was puzzled, "Doesn't the old man at home give you pocket money?"

It's just a few thousand yuan, and she's this happy?

"Yes, but it's not the same as earning it myself." Chi Qian was pleased.

Her little stash was growing, and the bigger it got, the larger the "handsome men park" she planned to build after retirement.

Even if the Chi family went bankrupt someday, she would have a fallback!

After all, the protagonist has a halo, the villain doesn't.

Opportunities must be grabbed by yourself!

Chi Fengxiao saw her money-minded attitude and handed her some pocket money generously.

"Take this and spend it however you want!"

Chi Qian opened it and frowned, "...Only 100 yuan?"

Chi Fengxiao was serious: "You're still young; money can spoil you. Save it. This is your uncle's weekly paycheck."

"You only earn 100 yuan a week after shooting ads??"

"Well, the career just started; expenses are everywhere. Save where you can."

That's the emperor-level actor for you—once he picks a persona, he never wavers.

Chi Qian thought of how hard it was when he was an extra, so she sent him a red envelope in return.
