Wen Yi immediately spotted the director and familiar crew members.
When they met Wen Yi, they were all surprised and could not recognize her as the Wen Yi they knew.
On set, Wen Yi is usually quiet and unassuming. The only thing people remember about her is that she is Wen Ge's assistant and also her older sister. They only meet Wen Yi when they need to communicate for work.
Normally, these staff members wouldn't remember Wen Yi, but recently Wen Yi has been constantly called to the director's side, and even has been in meetings with the director. The director has also been praising Wen Yi.
As the person praised by the director, who is the highest authority in the production team, the staff around the director naturally showed their appreciation; otherwise, they might not have recognized Wen Yi.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming?" The director paused for a moment before coming to his senses, then said this somewhat deliberately, "I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical."
Wen instantly understood the director's meaning, chuckled, and said, "After thinking about it, the crew rarely gets to have a get-together, so I figured I should come."
"But how did you get upstairs?" the assistant director asked, puzzled.
Wen Yi stepped out of the elevator to avoid occupying it, and gave a very simple explanation: "I remembered the wrong floor number and went up. I just sent a message to the director before coming down."
"After all, I wasn't planning on coming in the first place, so I didn't even remember which floor I was on," the director joked with a smile. "That's perfect, though. Wen Yi and I have some details to discuss about the scenes we're filming today, so I'll go down by myself. You don't need to come with me."
"Alright, then we'll head back first. Director, please make sure you get to the door," the assistant director reminded him.
The director nodded. "Okay, go back now."
The assistant director left with the other staff, leaving only the director and Wen Yi in the elevator corridor.
Wen Yi proactively said, "Thank you, Director."
"What are you thanking me for?"
“If you hadn’t come to my rescue, there would have been other rumors circulating about me dressed like this at the Golden Deer Gate tomorrow. Then, if I attended the film promotion as the photinia, it would have become a source of negative publicity for others.”
Wen Yi frowned and thought about it seriously. "There might be headlines like, 'What a famous director, he just rose to fame by using his looks. Who knows what kind of sugar daddy he has behind him?'"
"Wen Yi, this is the first time I've realized you're so humorous," the director said with a light laugh.
Wen shrugged.
She didn't find it humorous; it was a fact that was about to happen.
"It seems they want you to go downstairs for something?" Wen Yi changed the subject.
The director pressed the elevator button. "Oh, they said they prepared a gift for me and insisted that I go to the door to get it. They wouldn't let me bring it up."
"That must be a special gift."
"I hope so," the director said dismissively. "I don't really like these things. In the past, if the crew had pulled these kinds of stunts, I would have lost my temper, but..."
“But too many things have happened on set recently, and we still need to stabilize morale,” Wen Yi expressed the director’s concerns.
The director nodded, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Wen Yi.
Even before Wen Yi's true identity was revealed, the director already had some admiration for her. After learning that she was Shi Nan Hua, that admiration only grew stronger day by day.
The elevator arrived, and Wen Yi and the director entered together, arriving at the Golden Deer Gate lobby.
The gifts from the production team were simply flowers and a drone show, presented to the director in the names of Wen Ge, Lin Manqing, and Yan Li as a token of gratitude for the director's care and guidance over the past period, and a wish for even better collaboration in the future.
Reporters were stationed around.
Wen Yi subtly stepped back, ensuring that the camera only captured the director's view.
This can be considered a promotional campaign. Recently, the production team of "Sword and Qin" has been experiencing a series of problems, and several marketing accounts have been predicting that the drama might be canceled. There have been several waves of negative predictions, causing widespread anxiety.
This was meant to dispel these rumors and reassure the crew, and the director was extremely cooperative with the publicity.
At the same time, Yan Li, Lin Manqing and Wen Ge arrived one after another. Wen Yi stood in the corner to minimize her presence, but today she was so stunning in her red outfit that it was impossible to ignore her.
Especially when Wen Ge and Yan Li came down at the same time, Yan Li recognized Wen Yi at a glance and his expression immediately turned to surprise. When Wen Yi met Wen Ge's gaze, he didn't quite understand the meaning in Wen Ge's eyes.
She seemed a little angry, but Wen Yi didn't really care what she was angry about.
She planned to leave the place as soon as possible, taking advantage of the lively atmosphere.
However, because Wen Ge was keeping a close eye on Wen Yi, Wen Yi tried to avoid Wen Ge's attention and ended up bumping into the person carrying the red wine.
The red wine was almost spilled all over the other person and Wen Yi.
"What are you doing?" The woman's sharp voice immediately made Wen Yi the focus of attention.
Wen closed her eyes, and just as she feared, her worst nightmare came true.
Wen Yi hurriedly apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am. I'll contact someone to send you clothes right away. I'll compensate you for everything, okay?"
"You'll compensate me? What will you use to compensate me?" The woman was clearly not going to give up, her voice sharp.
Wen Yi lowered his voice and reminded her, "Madam, this is a public place after all. If we make a scene, it won't look good for either of us."
"You dare threaten me?"
Wen Yi:......
She tried to be as gentle as possible, but the woman in front of her was clearly not going to give up, and given the woman's sharp shouts, the crew's attention had already turned to her.
This time, the focus isn't just on the film crew, but also on the cameras and live stream lenses of various media outlets.
At this moment, Wen Yi was truly furious.
She was no longer gentle, reminding the woman in front of her, "Madam, I have already sincerely apologized for bumping into you, and I have expressed that I will compensate you for your clothes and will contact someone to send you clothes as soon as possible..." *Slap!*
Before Wen could finish speaking, the other party slapped him across the face.
This slap was completely unexpected. Wen Yi was only thinking about dealing with this matter as soon as possible, and thought that with so many people and cameras around, no matter what, the other party would not go so far as to hit her.
But she was clearly wrong.
The woman in front of him demanded arrogantly, "What are you going to offer me in return? Do you know who I am? How dare you talk such nonsense in front of me! You're just a nobody who bumped into me. Instead of kneeling down and apologizing, what kind of high and mighty attitude are you putting on?"
"Let me tell you, what I despise most is you dressing up like that and strolling around the hotel. It's as clear as day that you're thinking of hooking up with a rich man to change your life, right? Did you buy this outfit on loan or in installments?"
The woman looked her up and down, speaking with disdain and looking down on her.
“Let me tell you, I, Lin Na, have seen countless people like you in Haicheng and in the Golden Deer Gate. I can see right through you when I look at what you’re up to.”
