“Xinxin?” Cen Xiangyang’s surroundings were as noisy as always. “You’re looking for me?”

“I just saw the news about your new movie on the internet, so I wanted to call to check on how our great director is faring.” Ji Xinxin began chatting about mundane stuff. “Why don’t I drop by your set if an opportunity arises in the future?”
