What Should I Do if My Best Friend Is a Green Tea? [Transmigrated Into a Book]

At a filming location in Hai City,

After waiting all morning, it was finally Xu Yangyang's turn to shoot her scenes.

There were two scenes, with only five lines of dialogue.

After finishing the shoot, Xu Yangyang returned to the makeup room, where the shared makeup artist began to remove her makeup.

Xu Yangyang glanced at the makeup room next door, which was reserved for the leading actors. The main actors, including the male and female leads and supporting actors, had an entire room to themselves, while she, as a small role, had to share with other actors.

Even the makeup products were shared, which made Xu Yangyang feel uneasy.

Brother Chen, her manager, followed her gaze and saw her staring intently at the position of the leading actress in the drama. He coughed lightly.

After the makeup artist finished removing Xu Yangyang's makeup and moved on to help other actors, Xu Yangyang's greed was clear for all to see.

"Once you finish recording 'Let's Travel Together,' you'll have opportunities like this," Brother Chen whispered. "It's an S-tier variety show. After completing this show, your status will rise several levels, and starring in a B-grade drama will be no problem."

After a pause, Brother Chen continued, "It's just that Zhou Qingyu is not easy to get along with, so you need to be careful on the show."

Xu Yangyang chuckled softly. Compared to participating in an S-tier variety show, Zhou Qingyu, the spoiled rich girl, didn't seem like such a big deal. "Zhou Qingyu is just a love-struck girl. As long as you say a few sweet words about how Pei Yubai likes her, she'll be over the moon, and you can get whatever you want from her!"

Zhou Qingyu had wanted to join the variety show 'Let's Travel Together' but struggled to find a partner. She decided to pick a female artist from Xingyao Entertainment to join her. Xu Yangyang had seized the opportunity by constantly praising how perfect Zhou Qingyu and Pei Yubai were together. Her flattery had made Zhou Qingyu ecstatic, earning Xu Yangyang the spot on the show.

What's more, because she could easily please Zhou Qingyu, Xu Yangyang had managed to secure many resources from her. Even the high-end gown she had worn for the last red carpet event was courtesy of Zhou Qingyu.

Those like Zhou Qingyu, a spoiled, rich heiress, were the easiest to manipulate.

Brother Chen nodded. "As long as you know what you're doing."

After all, Brother Chen was well aware that hooking up with the daughter of the Zhou Corporation was a golden ticket for Xu Yangyang's future career.

Brother Chen added, "Oh, by the way, this variety show is about traveling freely. The company has transferred one million to you. Zhou Qingyu is too lazy to make any plans, so make sure you take care of it."

Xu Yangyang's eyes lit up. She had worked hard for half a year and still couldn't make one million! Zhou Qingyu casually gave it away!

The first stop of 'Let's Travel Together' was in France. Although France was expensive, one million was certainly more than enough! Tonight, she could find a travel agency and make a plan worth thirty or fifty thousand. The rest would be hers!

Xu Yangyang took out her phone and stared at the digits in her balance, feeling increasingly happy.

The ringtone sounded. It was Zhou Qingyu calling to meet her later.

Xu Yangyang's shoot for the day was over, and her makeup was already removed. Zhou Qingyu inviting her now probably meant discussing details about tomorrow's variety show.

Thinking about it, Xu Yangyang grabbed her bag and dashed eagerly towards Hongrui Mall.

Xu Yangyang and her assistant arrived at the first floor of Hongrui Mall.

This was the top luxury consumption area in Hai City. Xu Yangyang had been here a few days ago and liked a new limited edition bag from B, but lacking the funds, she couldn't afford it.

Since Zhou Qingyu asked her to meet here, she could finally take the bag home!

As they entered the mall, they saw Zhou Qingyu inside the A store.

Zhou Qingyu exuded charisma and glamour, even though she was dressed simply in a black dress, her beauty was unparalleled.

Every time Xu Yangyang saw Zhou Qingyu, jealousy bubbled up. It seemed like fate had been particularly kind to her, giving her both wealth beyond measure and unmatched beauty.

Whenever this happened, Xu Yangyang would visit the Weibo trending page to read the scandals about Zhou Qingyu. Knowing that so many people were criticizing her made Xu Yangyang feel a little better.

Through the glass of the store, Xu Yangyang saw Zhou Qingyu picking out clothes, with a young girl following behind her wearing a cheap, fast-fashion outfit worth around a hundred yuan. The girl was holding several shopping bags, presumably Zhou Qingyu's assistant.

Xu Yangyang knew that Zhou Qingyu had a spoiled temperament and treated the people around her poorly, often changing assistants.

At the moment, Zhou Qingyu had accumulated many shopping bags behind her from various brands, creating a dazzling array.

Her assistant curiously asked, "Sis Yangyang, I remember Miss Zhou doesn't like the brand A, but she bought a lot from there this time. Could it be that she’s buying for you?"

Xu Yangyang narrowed her eyes slightly, clearly noticing this too.

Zhou Qingyu had picked out a couple of sister outfits and was pulling Yan Xi into the fitting room to change.

Xu Yangyang and her assistant walked into the A store.

Zhou Qingyu didn't like the brand A, but Xu Yangyang did, especially their new square-shaped bag, which she had been obsessed with for a long time and had even shared pictures of on Weibo.

Xu Yangyang picked up the small square bag from the shopping bag and tried it on profusely.

The saleswoman quickly stepped forward, "Miss, I'm sorry, this bag belongs to another customer. If you need one, I can contact headquarters to arrange for you!"

Xu Yangyang admired herself in the full-length mirror, "Don't worry, she bought it for me!"

The small square bag looked great on her, adding a touch of luxury to her overall look. Xu Yangyang took out her phone and asked her assistant to take photos, only to find the saleswoman in her frame, which made her very unhappy.

Xu Yangyang impatiently glanced at the saleswoman, "What, did you forget that Miss Zhou and I came to your store last time?"

The saleswoman remembered that Zhou Qingyu had brought Xu Yangyang to the store last week, which was why she hadn't stopped Xu Yangyang from the start.

The store manager pulled the saleswoman aside, signaling her not to cause trouble.

The assistant immediately knelt down and took several photos of Xu Yangyang, which were then beautified and posted on Weibo.

Fans swarmed in, showering praises on Xu Yangyang—

【Today’s Yangyang is so pretty!】

【Did Yangyang go shopping? That small square bag looks so expensive~】

【The limited edition small square bag from brand A, costs thirty thousand... isn’t it expensive?】

【So Yangyang is a rich girl too~ Wishing I were both beautiful and wealthy, I’m jealous!】

【Is Yangyang shopping for tomorrow’s trip? Can’t wait to see Yangyang in tomorrow’s live broadcast! So excited!】

【Looking forward to Yangyang on the variety show, walking the flower path!】

……

With a million followers on Weibo, nine hundred thousand of them were fake accounts, but the remaining active fans’ praise still made her very satisfied.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qingyu walked out of the fitting room.

The brand A store was spacious, with many display cabinets separating the fitting room from the front hall. Zhou Qingyu didn’t notice Xu Yangyang at first, as she was focused on the effect of the matching outfits.

The saleswoman accompanying Zhou Qingyu immediately complimented her, "Miss Zhou, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit! The waist-snatching design perfectly highlights your figure! And this outfit makes you look so fair, it’s like you’re glowing!"

Zhou Qingyu wasn’t impressed, "It’s just okay. The design is similar to D’s classic little black dress; I don’t think it’s particularly outstanding."

Yan Xi also came out of the fitting room, approaching Zhou Qingyu and twirling around, "How does it look?"

Zhou Qingyu replied, "Great! The waist-snatching detail highlights your figure, and the outfit makes you look very fair! It’s perfect!"

The saleswoman thought to herself, "......?"

Zhou Qingyu made the final decision, "Darling, let’s buy it! This way we can wear matching outfits during our trip!"

Yan Xi sneakily glanced at the system showing Zhou Qingyu’s luck value【2 points】. Although it had yet to break through the number 3 threshold, every little bit counts!

So Yan Xi nodded, "Okay~"

The two, dressed in their matching outfits, went to the front hall, where they met Xu Yangyang approaching happily with the small square bag on her shoulder.

Xu Yangyang linked her arm with Zhou Qingyu, "Qingyu, you’ve bought so many things for me! You’re so nice to me!"

Zhou Qingyu looked at Xu Yangyang suspiciously, then at the small square bag on her shoulder, "Who said I bought this for you?"

Xu Yangyang’s face slightly changed.

There were other customers in the store besides them, all curiously watching the interaction.

Xu Yangyang felt her face was at stake, "Qingyu, what are you saying? You don’t like this brand, do you? If it wasn’t for me... who is it for?"

If it wasn’t for her, why would she have been called here in the first place?

Zhou Qingyu’s face showed some impatience as she turned to look at the store manager, "Is this how you handle things? Handing other people’s things to anyone who claims they belong to them?"

The store manager was shocked, "I’m so sorry, Miss Zhou. We thought she was your friend, and she said you bought these for her, so we didn’t stop her......"

Zhou Qingyu smirked, "Do you believe anyone just because they say so? What if any random stray dog comes in and claims to be my friend—will you still serve them?"

"I’m terribly sorry! I’m sorry!" The store manager kept apologizing, then quickly walked over to Xu Yangyang, "Miss Xu, this bag belongs to Miss Zhou, please return it."

Xu Yangyang’s face turned pale; with more and more onlookers, she could only reluctantly take off the small square bag and return it to the store manager.

The store manager swiftly placed the bag back into the shopping bag and handed it to Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu frowned; she had always disliked using secondhand items, even if someone just carried it for a moment.

The store manager understood, nodding and bowing, "Don’t worry, Miss Zhou. We will immediately order a brand new one from headquarters and deliver it to your home tonight!"

Zhou Qingyu waved her hand, "That’ll do."

The situation was gradually defused, and the store manager and saleswomen all relaxed.

Only Xu Yangyang managed to suppress the anger that threatened to grind her teeth into dust, her face still adorned with a serene smile as if nothing had happened.

It's just a bag, after all.

As long as she participates in the S-class variety show and becomes an overnight sensation, what bags couldn't she afford in the future?

Zhou Qingyu held Yan Xi's hand, saying, "Let's get a new bag. And if you don't like it, we can buy another one!"

Yan Xi: "……"

Though aiming to accumulate luck points, Zhou Qingyu was simply too generous!

But business comes first.

She pinched Zhou Qingyu's hand subtly, "About the variety show…"

"Oh!" Zhou Qingyu suddenly understood, turning to look at Xu Yangyang, "Yangyang, XiXi just got out of a relationship, and I want to spend more time with her. Why don't you skip the variety show tomorrow, and I'll bring XiXi instead?"

Since arriving at the A boutique, Xu Yangyang had maintained a polite smile on her face. But now, that smile finally cracked.
