Looking at these young people who were barely in their early twenties, Ming Jiayi was overwhelmed with all the hardships the original owner of the body had endured.
The original owner's 20th birthday was also celebrated with a cake eaten in a rush.
Singing the birthday song, blowing out the candles, cutting the cake, and sharing the cake—the whole process took less than 15 minutes, and then they went back to filming.
This industry truly has both glamour and pain...
Yin Yu turned on the light and walked back to the stroller.
Although he didn't want to go back to dance practice, he still had to remind his teammates.
The company only gave us three hours; we had to be back in the practice room by 10 PM.
If I can't get back by the appointed time, my salary will be deducted.
Seeing that the atmosphere between them was becoming increasingly awkward and no one was speaking, Ming Jiayi picked up a gift bag from her hand and said, "Birthday present."
Jian Qing accepted the gift with a flattered expression, "Thank you, Sister Jiayi."
Ming Jiayi smiled, then pulled the frozen Mo Xing in front of her and introduced her to Jian Qing.
"This is my assistant, her name is Mo Xing, and she also brought you a gift."
Mo Xing's face flushed bright red as she slowly handed the gift to Jian Qing.
“Jian…Jian Qing, happy birthday. This is my gift.”
Jian Qing smiled and accepted the gift. "I recognize you. You're the girl from the film crew last time, right?"
Mo Xing lowered her head and stammered shyly, "It's...it's me."
Jian Qing placed the gift on the table, walked over, picked up a knife, and said, "Come on, let me cut the cake first."
Lin Ruoyao sighed softly, "Stop looking so long-faced. Just keep practicing dancing, it won't be long anyway."
Ming Jiayi looked at Lin Ruoyao with a puzzled expression.
Why did the atmosphere become even more awkward after he said that?
After everyone received their share of cake, Ming Jiayi and Mo Xing found a place to sit down.
They quickly shook off the awkward atmosphere and started chatting enthusiastically in front of the camera.
Business must go on...
Comments: "I heard someone just called the company and said you guys don't have to go back to dance practice tonight! Is it true, guys?"
"Yeah, guys, check your phones! Did the company say we don't need to go back?"
Jian Qing looked at the sentence in confusion, "What? How could you..."
Lin Ruoyao moved closer to Jian Qing, looked down at the live chat messages on his phone, and then slapped his forehead in a serious manner, "Ah, oh no!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to Lin Ruoyao. "What happened?"
Lin Ruoyao gestured to the photographer, indicating that they should not point the camera at them.
The photographer nodded, then shifted the camera elsewhere.
Lin Ruoyao picked up his phone, typed a line of text, zoomed in several times, and showed it to everyone.
At the same time, Jian Qing walked up to the camera and solemnly said to it,
"Thank you all for your help. Although we would like to take a break, we are all very clear that this is our job."
I made this wish only to offer everyone some psychological comfort. Thank you so much, but I hope you won't call the company anymore. Thank you.
Ming Jiayi listened to Jian Qing's answer, then glanced at the subtitle on Lin Ruoyao's phone: "The live stream wasn't turned off, and everything I said was heard by netizens."
Just as she was about to say something, she saw Jian Qing's phone ring on the table.
Lin Ruoyao frowned, then took it upon himself to hang up Jian Qing's call.
Jian Qing politely continued speaking to the camera, "That's all for today's live stream. I'm sorry to have disappointed everyone."
The call came in again, and Lin Ruoyao clenched her hands, wanting to hang up again.
Jian Qing had already instructed the cameraman to turn off the camera, and he walked towards the phone while taking off the microphone.
He saw Lin Ruoyao's hand about to touch the phone, so he quickened his pace and walked over to gently push it away.
Jian Qing first closed the live stream, and then answered the phone call.
He had just pressed the answer button when he heard an angry roar coming from the phone.
"Jian Qing, what's wrong with you? Your fans are calling the company. You all need to get back to the company right now!"
Lin Ruoyao rolled his eyes; he knew that answering the phone would lead to this outcome.
As soon as they get back to the company, General Manager Yu will definitely give them a good scolding and then use the contract to threaten them. If they don't comply, it will just be what the company wants.
After that, the company claimed they had breached the contract and then forced them to pay the huge penalty.
I'm fed up with having to use this method to force them to comply every single time.
The five members of the GTL group barely rested throughout the year, even spending Chinese New Year's Eve practicing dance at the company, and the company still wasn't satisfied.
Jian Qing almost died this time. She just came out of the hospital, and now she can't even have a proper birthday celebration. She has to be arranged for in various ways.
Jian Qing spoke humbly into the phone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, this was my oversight. I'll bring them back right now."
Mo Xing watched from the side, tears welling up in her eyes.
Although she had always known that their situation was difficult, she really hadn't expected it to be this difficult.
She reached out and tugged at Ming Jiayi's sleeve, looking at her pitifully.
Ming Jiayi reached out and gently patted Mo Xing's hand, blinking twice.
Jian Qing was scheduled to do a live stream by his company after inviting his friends to his birthday party, so in addition to the GTL group members, several of his good friends were also present.
They watched the GTL group pack up their things with some embarrassment. In this situation, they were caught between a rock and a hard place.
The GTL group had experienced this kind of thing countless times before, so their reaction time was quick. Their driver should be arriving soon...
Jian Qing hung up the phone and looked at her friends with utter helplessness.
"I'm sorry... I'll treat you to dinner another day."
The five of them rushed out, leaving Ming Jiayi and the others sitting blankly in the living room.
A boy opened a bag of potato chips and started eating them casually, as if he were at home, even saying...
"Eat, eat, we've already bought everything, it would be a waste not to eat it."
"That's true. Speaking of which, weren't they just discussing whether their company was going to go under? What happened to their company?"
"I heard Lin Ruoyao mention this matter; it seems that the CEO of Baizong got into trouble."
"Hey, what happened to Boss Baizong?"
"I don't know. I'm just an ordinary citizen and don't care much about these things."
"It seems they did something that got exposed. Their company belongs to Baizong, so if Baizong gets into trouble, their company will get into trouble too."
"What about the rest of them?"
