Just like in her previous life, Tao Mindai didn't know about this. She didn't know that Yu Xiaobei had been eliminated, so even if Jiang Baige told her that Shen Po was still in contact with Yu Xiaobei, Tao Mindai would not find it strange.

Jiang Baige could certainly explain, but she didn't have time to do so.

Because she didn't know what Shen Po wanted to do with Yu Xiaobei, and it was not certain that something would happen this time, but it was hard to say: once something happened, it would most likely be irreversible.

The only solution now is for her to take action herself.

Fortunately, she had already installed the tracking software on Yu Xiaobei's mobile phone in advance. Of course, this was not very legal, so she would never tell Yu Xiaobei and Tao Mindai unless it was necessary.

On the phone, the red dot representing Yu Xiaobei stopped.

Jiang Baige arrived a few minutes later.

To her relief, the place where they met was a busy restaurant. Smelling the food in the restaurant, Jiang Baige also felt a little hungry.

This is a tropical-style restaurant, and Jiang Baige chose a location behind a huge deciduous broad-leaved potted plant.

The round pot with a diameter of less than one meter did not limit the infinite vitality of the tree. Not only could it completely block the Jiang Baige, but even in winter, it still struggled to grow towards the sunlight cast from the ceiling glass windows.

But when Jiang Baige sat down, she found that this was an extremely realistic fake tree: this answered some of her previous questions about "how to plant tropical trees in temperate zones", but it also made her feel a little disappointed.

But this seat is really good. Through the gaps between the huge leaves, you can just see Yu Xiaobei and Shen Po who are eating and talking, and you can even half read and half guess their lip language.

She ordered Hainanese chicken rice, lemongrass grilled meat, and a glass of coconut water.

The food was served quickly. She was worried that the two would leave before she finished, so she ate in a hurry. She choked on the coconut water, but she didn't dare to cough loudly for fear of attracting their attention. She could only hold it in until her face turned red. Then she had to resume her normal eating speed.

But after she finished eating, she asked for an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yu Xiaobei didn't seem to have any intention of finishing her meal.

What were they talking about? They talked for so long... Jiang Baige hated her myopia, which prevented her from reading lips very well. But she could still vaguely tell that they were talking about the crew, audition, etc.

Finally, they stood up.

Jiang Baige quickly called the waiter and paid the bill. Only then did she realize that Shen Po went out by himself, and Yu Xiaobei was not with him. Jiang Baige had to slow down her movements, she was a little confused.

After a while, she was sure that Shen Po would not come back, so she walked behind Yu Xiaobei, who had just stood up and sat back down.

"Hey, Xiao Bei? It's really you!"

Jiang Baige thought that if the waiter saw her like this, he would definitely think that she was a very courageous paparazzi.

Yu Xiaobei turned around with a look of surprise on her face: "Sister Baige? Why are you also..."

"My friend and I were having dinner nearby and just separated. I heard that the environment here is nice, so I wanted to come here for a drink... Why are you alone?"

Jiang Baige deliberately pretended not to mention Shen Po. She wanted to test: concealing or being frank could explain a lot of problems.

Yu Xiaobei didn't know her intention: "I just had dinner here with Teacher Shen Po, but he had something to do in the crew, so he went back first. I think the sunshine here is very good, so I want to sit for a while. I also ordered an ice cream to reward myself."

It seemed that she was in a good mood and very open, which made Jiang Baige feel a little helpless.

"Shen Po? But your second round of interview has already been..."

"Yes, that play should have no hope." Yu Xiaobei seemed to have accepted her fate, "But Mr. Shen contacted me again last night and thought that my image was still good, so he arranged to meet me today to discuss it in detail... He has a wide network of contacts, and if there is a chance, he will help me introduce other crews."

This is indeed good news. No wonder Yu Xiaobei feels much better.

After they went back, in the evening, Tao Mindai came back earlier than usual and was not as tired. Yu Xiaobei told Tao Mindai everything from her failure to Shen Po looking for her again.

This caught Jiang Baige off guard again: because according to her previous speculation, because Tao Mindai had her own job, Yu Xiaobei did not tell Tao Mindai about anything that happened since she was not selected, which led to her falling step by step into the trap of Shen Po or someone else.

But now it seems that Shen Po really wants to work, and Yu Xiaobei is also unreserved towards Tao Mindai.

Did I guess wrong? Jiang Baige felt a little frustrated.

When Tao Mindai heard the good news, she was of course happy for Yu Xiaobei, but she was still cautious: "I'm not doubting Teacher Shen, but this is private after all... We're not very familiar with him."

"Could it be that he really admires me?"

Yu Xiaobei's face was full of innocence and ignorance of the world. Jiang Baige and Tao Mindai looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Then, she added, "Besides, Mr. Shen and Sister Zou have worked together so many times... Even if you don't trust him, you can trust Sister Zou, right?"

When Tao Mindai heard Sister Zou's name, her expression indeed eased a lot. After all, after getting to know Sister Zou, she liked this straightforward, loyal and informal middle-aged woman.

Having said this, Tao Mindai didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, so she just asked Xiao Bei to be careful and didn't say anything else.

But on the day when Yu Xiaobei and Shen Po agreed to audition with another crew, Tao Mindai was very nervous again and insisted on squeezing her head out of her sleeves, which almost made Jiang Baige laugh to death.

"I say, aren't you two the same age? Why do you worry about her like her elder sister?" Jiang Baige asked with a smile as she sat aside.

Tao Mindai rolled her eyes at Jiang Baige and said nothing. Jiang Baige looked as if he had been defeated.

"I see. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just look after her for you. You can just go back to work with peace of mind. Is that all right?"

"Really? Love you!"

"Okay, hurry up and get to work. Otherwise, if you're late, you'll be accused of delaying the crew's progress..."

In the elevator, Tao Mindai forwarded the itinerary and address sent to her by Yu Xiaobei to Jiang Baige.

Jiang Baige looked at the message and said, "Huh": The audition was clearly in the afternoon, so why did Shen Po pick up Yu Xiaobei so early in the morning? She was a little worried, so she sent a message to Yu Xiaobei.

Yu Xiaobei quickly replied: [Sister, don't worry, Teacher Shen said that these groups are in need of sexy and beautiful actresses, so she took me to buy some new clothes first.]

I took a few more photos of the fitting room and sent them to Jiang Baige.

But when Jiang Baige went to the crew to pick up Yu Xiaobei in the afternoon, she saw that she was wearing a men's down jacket, and her heart sank.
