Seeing Lang Yu’s question mark, Bai Chao replied as he stuffed a large piece of ribs into his mouth, [This is the money for your meal. Thank you for buying me food.]
However, Lang Yu did not open the red packet. [Keep the money. You don’t have to return it to me first.]
Taking care of Bai Chao’s pride, he did not say that he paid for it himself. Instead, he found an excuse. [Hanhan instructed me to consider it a benefit for new employees. After all, you’re the first colleague to sign a contract with the studio.]
[Really?] Bai Chao did not believe it. He remembered that when he first started talking to Yu Han, she had already said that the studio did not provide food or accommodation. Bai Chao was already very satisfied that he could stay in the studio and have a place to sleep.
Since Yu Han did not say anything, he had every reason to suspect that Lang Yu was paying for it himself. Hence, he deliberately said, [Since it’s an employee benefit, I have to negotiate with Little Yu. Isn’t it too stingy to only have such a small allowance a month?]
[Don’t go.] Lang Yu never thought that Bai Chao would be so thick-skinned. Afraid that he would really look for Yu Han, he hurriedly said, [Alright, I admit that I paid for the food myself. It has nothing to do with Hanhan.]
Of course, Lang Yu was anxious not because he was afraid that Yu Han would be calculative about the 200 yuan, but because he did not want to cause trouble for Yu Han because of his decision.
Bai Chao thought to himself as expected. He knew that Lang Yu would not speak. He would tell the truth himself if he tricked him a little.
[So you should have accepted the red packet long ago. Wouldn’t this have happened?]
Lang Yu said honestly, [But if you give me the money, won’t you have no money yourself?]
Bai Chao was choked up for once. He rolled his eyes and said stubbornly, “You haven’t seen my wallet. How do you know that I don’t have money?”
Lang Yu thought to himself, Looking at your situation, even if you can take out 200 yuan, it probably won’t be any better. It was just that these words were a little hurtful, and he was too embarrassed to say them.
Lang Yu’s silence pricked the balloon like a needle. Bai Chao said dejectedly, [Don’t worry, I won’t starve to death. Your salary as a small assistant isn’t high. You should be thrifty.]
The entertainment industry looked glamorous and beautiful, but in the eyes of fans, being an assistant to a celebrity was a very dignified thing. Little did they know that the average salary was three to five thousand yuan. It sounded like a lot, but this salary might not even be enough to rent a house and eat in a first-tier city. On the other hand, they had to be on call 24 hours a day.
This was also why the position of a celebrity assistant was always changing.
This was because many people came in with a longing heart and left after their filters shattered because they could not withstand the working environment that paid very little but worked very hard.
Unexpectedly, Lang Yu suddenly interrupted. [Actually, I think my salary is quite high.]
Bai Chao asked casually, [Oh, how much is your salary?]
Lang Yu gave a number. Bai Chao hissed and asked tentatively, [Do you think Yu Han still lacks assistants?] The kind that could eat eight meat buns in one meal.
[No, give up on this idea.] Lang Yu immediately replied, afraid that Bai Chao would snatch his job if he was a second slower.
“What a pity.” Bai Chao finished the last mouthful of rice. [You’ve met a benefactor.]
The treatment that Yu Han gave him was better than that of more than 90% of the artists’ assistants in the industry. Not to mention that Yu Han was very easy to get along with and treated people well.
[Of course.] Lang Yu was very proud of being able to become Yu Han’s assistant.
Bai Chao shook his head when he saw his reply. Then, he praised Yu Han with him.
It was as if Lang Yu had found a confidant. It was only after he personally accepted the red packet that he realized that he had been tricked by Bai Chao. He sent [!!!] to Bai Chao hatefully, feeling that Bai Chao was too cunning.
Lang Yu did not want to talk to him for the time being, so he decided to cook for Yu Han. Hence, he went to the apartment and found Yu Han to take the opportunity to tell her about this.
“I’m sorry. I acted on my own.” After that, Lang Yu reflected on it. It was all because he hadn’t thought it through, so he casually came up with a flawed reason. It was that Bai Chao didn’t like to take advantage of others. If it were some immoral people, they would probably enjoy it with a clear conscience and play the blame game.
After Yu Han heard the whole story, she patted her head, which was filled with all kinds of formulas after studying for the entire day. “No, no, no. This has nothing to do with you. In the end, it’s still my problem.”
Actually, she could guess that Bai Chao’s monetary situation was probably really tight as he was in such a hurry to sign the contract, but she had neglected this problem..
