Chapter 139 I Know My Limits
After saying that, I turned around and went upstairs without looking back, leaving Jiang Yichen alone downstairs.
When I got home and just opened the door, my mother pulled me aside mysteriously.
"Hey, kid, where did you go with Jiang Yichen? You came back so late." The mother asked with a gossipy look on her face.
I rolled my eyes helplessly, wondering how the topic had turned to Jiang Yichen again.
"Mom, can you please not be like this every time? We just went out for a meal."
At this time, Dad turned around from the window and interrupted, "I see Jiang Yichen is still downstairs. He must be reluctant to leave our daughter."
"I think so too, what do you think?"
"I'm tired and want to sleep." I dragged my tired body to the bedroom.
My parents started discussing with each other, insisting that Jiang Yichen must still have feelings for me, and began to look forward to our future together.
"I think Jiang Yichen is a good kid. Although there were some misunderstandings in the past, it seems that he still cares about our daughter." Mom said with a smile on her face.
"Yes, yes, and he is successful in his career now. If our daughter follows him, she will definitely enjoy a happy life in the future." Dad also agreed.
As I listened to my parents' fantasies, I felt a headache. I stood at the door and looked back at them.
"Stop, stop, stop. Stop imagining nonsense, both of you. It's more practical to think about what to eat tomorrow morning."
As soon as I returned to the room, Gu Bai brought a cup of hot milk and placed it on my table.
He looked at me with a hint of worry in his eyes, "I heard from my parents that Jiang Yichen is no longer the same Jiang Yichen as before. Have you thought about it?"
Gu Bai reminded tactfully.
I sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I don't have any relationship with him anymore. I just want to focus on my career now."
"In this case, you should be careful when interacting with him."
I looked at Gu Bai gratefully and nodded. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I just want to work hard and make more and better commercials."
Only after my repeated assurances did Gu Bai feel at ease to leave.
next day
I returned to the company to shoot commercials.
Zhao Ning held two cups of hot coffee in his hands and handed me one: "Would you like some coffee?"
“Thank you.” Thinking of what happened last night, I felt embarrassed. After taking the coffee, I stammered, “Yesterday…”
"What happened yesterday?" Zhao Ning winked at me and smiled knowingly.
I laughed too and didn't say anything else.
"Drink quickly, we'll study it later and see how to shoot today."
I took two sips, put the coffee aside, then took the script and went over it with him, studying the movements. Unexpectedly, we worked together so well.
At this time, Lin Nan came over to check the progress. Seeing us gathered together, his face darkened: "Gu Mo, concentrate on your work and stop disturbing others."
Zhao Ning knew that Lin Nan was the leader, so he didn't dare to say anything.
I quickly explained: "Boss Lin, I'm working and I'm not disturbing anyone else."
But Lin Nan didn't listen and said sarcastically: "If you affect the progress of the filming, I will settle the score with you!"
After saying that, he left, and I was speechless.
When other people saw that Lin Nan treated me badly, and remembered that Jiang Yichen also came to find fault with me yesterday, they thought that I was not liked and started to treat me badly as well.
"Gu Mo, please pack up that prop."
I had just finished cleaning up when the assistant director called me again: "The floor over there is dirty, go clean it up."
"Gu Mo, go buy some coffee."
"Gu Mo..."
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but then I realized something was wrong.
I dropped what I was holding and angrily asked the assistant director, "These jobs are not mine, why are you asking me to do them?"
The assistant director said sternly, "If you don't want to do it, just leave. Mr. Lin said that the filming progress cannot be affected. You dare not quit."
I got angry when I heard that and said, "If this is intentionally targeting me, then I won't shoot it."
Zhao Ning hurried over to persuade him: "Forget it, newcomers will always be bullied a little, everyone has gone through this."
I said, "No, we can't tolerate this kind of atmosphere."
I left the studio straight away, feeling indignant and aggrieved.
My action made the assistant director panic, because it meant that the shooting plan for the day would not be able to proceed normally.
After I left, the assistant director hurried to report the situation to the director.
But in the process of reporting, he not only exaggerated, but also turned black into white, insisting that I refused to be filmed because I was acting like a big shot.
"Director, Gu Mo is not famous at all, but she starts to act like a big shot. Who would dare to hire her?"
After hearing this, the director frowned.
"I saw that she got along well with everyone yesterday and behaved well. Did you make a mistake?"
"Absolutely right, she was pretending yesterday." The assistant director said relentlessly.
Zhao Ning stood aside, unable to bear it any longer, and prepared to tell the truth, "Director, it's not like that..."
"Zhao Ning, what are you doing here if you don't want to study the script?" The assistant director warned him coldly, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Zhao Ning wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he lowered his head helplessly and chose to remain silent.
"The assistant director is right. Gu Mo was pretending yesterday, but her true colors were revealed today."
"I also saw her deliberately breaking props."
"And he even talked back to Mr. Lin!"
…
They kept saying this and that, thinking that I was away and had no way of explaining myself, and they were eager to accuse me of treason.
Unfortunately, I came back to get my things and heard everything they said clearly.
I was about to go over and explain when I heard the director say, "Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Lin and see what to do. You guys can continue to do what you normally do."
I retreated again. Since it was Lin Nan's fault, I might as well let her worry about it!
Soon I was called to Lin Nan's office.
I knocked on the door and walked in.
Lin Nan's face darkened as he questioned in dissatisfaction, "When Gu Mo chose you to film, what did you promise? And look at what you have done now?"
"You said you can work hard, but this is your work attitude? You delayed the filming progress and caused everyone to fail to complete their work?"
I just listened to her scolding me quietly. After she stopped talking, I asked indifferently, "Are you done? Then can I explain it?"
"First of all, it's not that I didn't work hard, but the assistant director didn't let me do any filming at all. He just ordered me to do odd jobs from beginning to end."
"You can disobey his orders, but you can't stop filming without permission."
Lin Nan slammed the table and scolded harshly.
I bit my lower lip and looked at her unwillingly.
The atmosphere became tense.
"This matter was my negligence, and the assistant director was also wrong. I will rectify it when I return." The director smoothed things over at the right time.
Then, he looked at me and said in a friendly manner, "Gu Mo, come back with me and continue filming."
"good."
