Lin Xiaoxiao continued filming from nine to five until the very last scene. After the campus scenes ended, she was still somewhat unsatisfied. Every day after class, she would excitedly apply the rudimentary knowledge she had learned to yacht selection using the yacht buying guide that Secretary Zhao had found for her, and she enjoyed reading it every day.

The only downside is that she has a new favorite little yacht every day, which is a sweet problem. However, she doesn't plan to buy one now. She plans to wait until she loses all her investment and returns to her wealthy family before buying one.

Of course, it would be best if her brother could buy it for her. After all, she has shown her loyalty, so she should be rewarded with a small gift. One yacht, or two? It's such a difficult choice. She loves all these yachts, from their hardware to their interiors!

Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't interested in the last sea scene at all; she just wanted it to end quickly so she could go back to being a carefree couch potato and drive her yacht around having fun.

Unexpectedly, the filming of this last sea scene took a whole day and they didn't finish on time.

Lin Xiaoxiao's mood gradually became irritable.

Several extras were directing the actors and the old yacht borrowed from the museum, causing the actors to be constantly interrupted by the extras entering the frame before director Lin Xiaoxiao could even call "cut."

Lin Xiaoxiao held back for a while, silently telling herself to calm down, only because she had gotten a free yacht selection course a while ago.

As a result of her forbearance, all the work preparations for the day went down the drain. Lin Xiaoxiao, who had planned to wrap up filming today, finally lost her temper half an hour before leaving get off work.

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately erupted in anger, berating several extras until their faces turned red and they were speechless with their chests heaving. She then turned to the other stagehands and launched into a tirade.

"What are you production crew members doing?! No one else is allowed on set! Am I supposed to clear the set myself?! We didn't finish filming today, and we're wasting a whole day's worth of expenses—are you all going to share the cost?!"

After Lin Xiaoxiao finished cursing, she saw that it was time to leave work. With a long face, she reluctantly ended her outburst, turned around, and left with her thermos.

Everyone else held their breath, even the usually lively Zhang Chenxi was too scared to lift her head. It turned out the agent was right; Director Lin was really fierce, even scolding the hired teachers who delayed filming without holding back.

Zhang Chenxi felt that once the filming schedule was delayed, Director Lin would instantly transform from a gentle little lamb into a raging Siberian tiger, not letting anyone off the hook. If it weren't almost time to leave work today, he would probably start yelling at the actors after he finished yelling at the production crew.

Didn't you see Director Lin's gaze shift to the lead actors? It was really scary. Zhang Chenxi felt that even though Director Lin didn't utter a single swear word, being scolded in front of so many people was truly infuriating and made her want to cry.

Zhang Chenxi sniffed, calming herself down. Only then did she think of her good friend Sheng Yiyi. Director Lin's expression was so intense that even she was getting teary-eyed. Yiyi was so gentle; she was probably already crying.

When Zhang Chenxi's gaze fell on Sheng Yiyi, she froze.

Sheng Yiyi acted as if nothing had happened, packing her things without even a tremor in her hands. She put the small blanket and water cup from the stool into the large canvas bag one by one, and then followed her younger sister, who was carrying two chairs, back home.

"Yiyi, are you alright?"

Zhang Chenxi couldn't help but call out to Sheng Yiyi.

Upon hearing the voice, Sheng Yiyi turned around and smiled at Zhang Chenxi, saying, "It's nothing."

Lin Yang, whose eyes were also a little red, looked at Sheng Yiyi with admiration, and the other actors also cast envious glances at her.

Zhang Chenxi asked the same question that everyone else was wondering, "Director Lin...does he do this often?...Aren't you afraid?"

Sheng Yiyi stopped again, her eyes filled with confusion. "Why am I afraid of Director Lin? She's not going to eat me. Besides, Director Lin has actually been quite good-tempered today. In the past, Yu Ke, Chen Nan, and Wang Wei were scolded until they cried, and Director Lin would still keep scolding them. Today is nothing compared to what she's done. It's just that it's time to leave work; otherwise, Director Lin could probably continue scolding for another four or five hours without repeating herself..."

Sheng Yiyi's younger sister, Sheng Ranran, hurriedly interrupted, saying that only someone so foolish would speak ill of their boss on the spot.

"No, no, as long as it doesn't delay the filming schedule, Director Lin usually won't get angry. If the progress is normal tomorrow, Director Lin won't continue to scold people."

Zhang Chenxi was truly astonished; she had never seen a director so prone to yelling on set. Her voice trembled as she stammered, "This isn't even his angrier state?!"

Seeing that the other actors were looking over, Sheng Ranran had no choice but to stop and explain to these actors who were appearing in Director Lin's drama for the first time, "It's really not the angrier you're ever. Director Lin likes to get it in one take, and he likes the most authentic state of the actors in the first take. So if the scene gets stuck more than three times, Director Lin will start yelling. In Yiyi's two previous dramas, everyone from the actors to the production assistants got yelled at. Even Yiyi, who's usually so thick-skinned, got yelled at until she cried. So today really isn't the angrier you're ever."

The other crew members nodded in agreement, and one or two even stood up to defend Director Lin. "Director Lin is really good. The first time I messed up a prop and got scolded, I thought I was going to be fired. We were all unsure of what to do. But the next day, Director Lin didn't even notice me. She was just doing it for the good of the film. As long as she doesn't fire me, it's fine if she scolds me. Besides, it was indeed me who messed up the prop."

Another production assistant chimed in, "Actually, Director Lin is really lucky. At least we don't have to offer him any money, and we now have the five social insurances and one housing fund. We also get a lot of bonuses when the project ends, and we have more holidays than before. We don't have to worry about not having a next project after this one is finished."

Boss Zhang also said earnestly, "You may not know how much it costs to film this day. There are the labor and yacht rental fees, the location fees. If the weather is bad, these costs multiply. Director Lin is also responsible for the entire crew. If the filming isn't completed on time, we won't get paid. This is your first time working with Director Lin. You know how easy he is to get along with. He only gets angry when there's a delay. Otherwise, he's very easy to work with. You know how other film crews are."

Lin Yang felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. Although Director Lin had a bit of a temper, he seemed to be a truly good director, and his outbursts were all for the sake of the entire crew.

When Zhang Chenxi recalled what had happened, she realized that Director Lin hadn't lost his temper for no reason. It was because they had delayed the schedule that Director Lin was angry.

After all, naval battle scenes are very dependent on the weather, and Director Lin prefers to shoot on location. Today the weather is good, but they haven't finished filming. If she were Director Lin, she would definitely be angry.
