Chapter 46: Actually... Quite the Show-Off

"Deal, don't worry. Even for a non-celebrity, I'll offer the highest appearance fee. I just hope that if any troublesome situations arise during the show, you'll be willing to step in."

Upon hearing this, Duan Ming had no reason to disagree, especially since this little girl truly possessed genuine abilities.

"Stepping in is no problem, but that comes with a separate price," Bai Qianzhou said indifferently.

"No problem at all. I will definitely not shortchange you," Duan Ming promised earnestly.

It wasn't that he was overly cautious, but he knew very well that in this industry, bizarre and supernatural occurrences were bound to happen from time to time.

Moreover, many shows had been suspended precisely because of such incidents.

If Si Nansheng were present, it should certainly cut down on a lot of trouble!

One had to admit, Duan Ming's calculations were thorough indeed.

"There's something we need to discuss with Director Duan in advance. Come, let's talk over here," Pei Yanlin said, pulling Duan Ming aside.

"What is it? So mysterious?" Duan Ming asked, looking at Pei Yanlin in confusion.

"Having my sister participate in the show is fine, but do you see that bag she's carrying? No matter what happens, you are not allowed to confiscate it."

"This... But, Yanlin, you know my rules," Duan Ming protested, looking troubled.

"See for yourself," Pei Yanlin said, gesturing for Duan Ming to turn around.

Duan Ming looked over and saw Bai Qianzhou take out two triangular-folded paper talismans from her small bag and hand them to He Fangya.

"Pretty sister, keep these two talismans safe. Wear them close to your body and never take them off. One is for safety and peace, and the other is for protecting the pregnancy."

"For safety and protecting the pregnancy? Little Master, is there something wrong with my baby?" He Fangya clutched the talismans, looking at Bai Qianzhou somewhat nervously.

"The baby is too small, and your body is too weak. You need to take good care of yourself," Bai Qianzhou said, yawning. She glanced at Pei Yanlin, whose attention was elsewhere, and picked up an apple to crunch on.

"Thank you, Little Master. I will definitely keep them close to me," He Fangya said. Knowing her own physical weakness, she readily accepted Bai Qianzhou's goodwill and felt genuinely grateful.

Even though she wasn't sure if the talismans actually worked, she could sense Bai Qianzhou's kind intentions and naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Yanlin, do you mean your sister's bag is stuffed with things like this?"

"Of course. Director Duan, if you want my sister to help you, how can she do it without these things?" Pei Yanlin rolled his eyes at Duan Ming. Resigned, Duan Ming hardened his heart and agreed.

Since Bai Qianzhou was capable of saving his wife, she surely had true skills. Letting her bring these items might just help salvage something if accidents occurred during the show.

Besides, how much could a bag that small possibly hold?

Pei Yanlin had no idea what Duan Ming was thinking, and he certainly wouldn't tell him that Bai Qianzhou's little bag only looked small, but in reality... it had a terrifying capacity for storage.

As for signing the contract, Bai Qianzhou didn't care about the details. She was skilled at divination and fortune-telling, but understood nothing about such matters. Pei Yanlin handled everything on her behalf, as long as the money ended up in her hands in the end.

After Duan Ming and his group left, Bai Qianzhou looked around. "Where are Mr. Pei and Ms. Bai?"

"They went to the school and haven't returned yet."

"Went to the school?"

"Mom and Dad went to pick up my two cousins. Tomorrow is the weekend, and second uncle and aunt can't make it back, so the boys are staying with the nanny. Mom and Dad were worried, so they went to check."

As he spoke, Pei Yanlin headed to the kitchen to instruct the housekeeper to cook some plain rice porridge for Bai Qianzhou. Of course, he didn't dare let Bai Qianzhou hear him.

He was terrified of seeing that aggrieved and resentful look in her eyes.
