The next day, early morning.
Su Qianqian took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the artists' dressing room.
The lounge was well-cooled and had an expensive fragrance.
Lin Shu was sitting in front of a large makeup mirror, her eyes closed as the makeup artist touched up her makeup.
She wore a silver-gray silk slip dress, the thin straps highlighting her snow-white shoulders and delicate collarbones.
The skirt hem only reached mid-thigh, her two shapely long legs were casually crossed, and she wore a pair of rhinestone-studded stiletto sandals.
Stunning and flamboyant, like a red rose in full bloom.
Su Qianqian tried her best to minimize her presence.
Large, black-rimmed glasses sat on her delicate nose, almost completely obscuring half of her face.
The lenses were non-reflective, blurring her bright, lively almond-shaped eyes.
She carefully applied the dark-colored BB cream to her face and the exposed skin of her neck.
It makes the originally radiant and translucent skin appear dull and matte.
Not to mention fair skin, he's several shades darker than the average person.
He was wearing a pair of ordinary white canvas shoes.
She looked like an ordinary assistant who had just come from a small town, trying to integrate into the big city, but still retained a bit of a rustic air.
Her voice carried a hint of timidity: "Sister Shu, I'm Su Qianqian, Brother Wang's new assistant."
Hearing the sweet and melodious voice, Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, lifted her eyelids, and glanced at her through the mirror.
Oversized black-rimmed glasses, a dull and lifeless face, unfashionable clothes, a meek and submissive demeanor, as if he wanted to shrink into a crack in the ground.
"Tsk." Lin Shu let out a light snort that was hard to decipher, carrying undisguised criticism and disdain, thinking it was a waste of such a good voice.
"She looks clumsy."
She clearly didn't have high requirements for her assistant's appearance, or rather, she felt more at ease with such an ordinary, even somewhat ugly, assistant.
Lin Shu quickly shifted her gaze to her newly done crystal nails, as if Su Qianqian's existence was less important than the tips of her nails.
Su Qianqian silently breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that it didn't attract attention.
After a while, Lin Shu suddenly spoke, still not looking at her, and instructed the air: "Coffee. No sugar, half a shot of milk, the temperature should be just right to drink, not too hot and not too cold."
"Okay, Sister Shu." Su Qianqian responded immediately and quickly walked to the coffee machine in the corner of the lounge.
——
Three days later, in the afternoon on set, in the VIP lounge.
Gu Chengyu sat in a large single sofa, looking relaxed.
He was wearing a dark gray shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, revealing his muscular forearms, and an expensive watch.
The top two buttons of his collar remained undone, giving him a slightly unruly air.
He flipped through a filming progress report between his long, slender fingers.
This big-budget period drama has an investment from the Gu family. It's only natural that the investor and heir of the conglomerate would personally come to the set to inspect the progress.
But this is just an excuse, after all, it was just a negligible small investment by the Gu family.
Gu Chengyu's real purpose was the bet he made a week ago.
