Chapter 29 Express Courier of a Life

Ren Xinxin’s stomach had grown bigger and bigger by the day. Soon, while she still sometimes helped at the studio, Yu Dong and Xiang Xiaoyue had become reluctant to let her move around.

So Xiang Xiaoyue and Yu Dong stayed at the studio for more extended periods.

Recently, because of Director Liu’s historical drama, the studio had been working overtime to get the dubbing made. Yu Dong made cameos in almost all of the Palace Lady’s scenes, sometimes as an eunuch, sometimes as an attendant.

Noticing that it was almost 10:00 p.m. Ren Xinxin called her friends over for dinner.
While eating, Yu Dong turned to Xiang Xiaoyue and said, “You should send Xinxin home first; I’ll come back to the studio after work and finish the rest.”

“There’s no need for that, there’s a bed here too. I can sleep here.” Ren Xinxin saw that her friends were working very hard. She thought for a bit, then said: “Or I can continue dubbing, it’s not like it’s physical work.”

“Although it’s not physical work, it’s still taxing to the body.” Yu Dong refuted.

“I can do the rest of the supporting roles, I read the script, there aren’t any emotional scenes. I just need to change the timbre a little, and it’ll save you a trip back to the studio after work.” Ren Xinxin said.

“She’s right!” Xiang Xiaoyue who had been wolfing down her food came up for air and said, “You get off  of work at 2:00 a.m. if you come back to the studio you won’t have time to sleep.”

“And besides, isn’t Xia Feng coming back from Kunshan today? Won’t he get worried if you go home late?” Ren Xinxin asserted.

“You’re really not tired?” Yu Dong was still a little worried as she looked at Ren Xinxin’s stomach.

“People in rural areas still go to work when they’re pregnant, you make it sound like I’m made of glass.”

“Rural women are physically strong, they kill chickens and sheep without batting an eye. Can you say the same about yourself?” Xiaoyue retorted.

“I’m a rural woman, and I’ve never killed a chicken or slaughtered a sheep!” Yu Dong glanced at Xiaoyue weirdly.

“Oh, I totally forgot that you came from the countryside too. Your elegant temperament is too deceptive.” Xiang Xiaoyue exaggerated.

“Get lost!” Yu Dong couldn’t help but laugh.
Xiang Xiaoyue and Ren Xinxin laughed along with her.

“When we finish this job, it’ll be New Year’s.” Xiang Xiaoyue mentioned, “I’ll have to give you guys red envelopes!”

“How much are you going to put in our red envelopes big boss?” Yu Dong arched an eyebrow.

Ren Xinxin also looked at Xiang Xiaoyue with a big smile.

“How can I dare maltreat you girls?” Xiaoyue lifted 2 fingers and said, “Each gets 20,000 yuan!”

“Are you Huang Shiren, earning so much yet just giving out 20,000 yuan!” Yu Dong pretended to get angry.

(T/N Huang Shiren is a penny-pinching character in a Chinese opera called The White Haired Girl)

“Red envelope, that’s just the red envelope.” Xiang Xiaoyue thought Yu Dong had misunderstood and anxiously explained: “I’ll pay you dividends after the year, 20% each.”
