The clock on the wall pointed to 9:45. Zhang Yuanyuan gave a signal, and everyone got up one after another, pretending to go to the restroom.
After coming out, everyone agreed to wait for each other in the stairwell.
“Everyone’s here, let’s go,” Zhang Yuanyuan said first, looking at everyone.
A small team quietly arrived at Studio 3. Because they were all wearing name tags, they entered Studio 3 without any hindrance.
Because they arrived a few minutes early, Xiang Wei was currently getting her makeup done in the dressing room, and the filming had not yet officially started.
"Yuanyuan, I'm so excited about meeting my goddess soon. I'd do anything to see her," a colleague said, expressing her true feelings.
"Keep your voices down. We came here secretly, so don't attract too much attention. Just act normal and be as calm as I am," Zhang Yuanyuan said, putting on an affected expression. The others turned away from her.
"Hey, why are you running? Was my expression not good enough?"
“Yuanyuan, the person who needs to stay calm the most here is you,” Wenxin said, unable to bear it any longer.
"Stay calm, I need to stay calm," Zhang Yuanyuan encouraged herself while taking a few deep breaths.
At that moment, everyone heard the sound of high heels coming from not far away.
"It's Xiang Wei, Xiang Wei is here!" Zhang Yuanyuan said excitedly, grabbing An Yiruo's arm.
Because of the force with which she gripped An Yiruo's hand, An Yiruo winced in pain: "Yuanyuan, be gentle, be gentle. It hurts."
"I'm sorry, I got too excited," Zhang Yuanyuan said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Yuanyuan, Xiang Wei is even more beautiful in person than in the TV series! No wonder she's the nation's goddess, she's so gorgeous. I wonder if we can get her an autograph or a photo later?" another colleague said excitedly and infatuatedly.
Xiang Wei, facing so many cameras, quickly sensed that people were watching her. She politely turned around, smiled at An Yiruo and the others, and waved to them.
"Yi Ruo, did you see that? Xiang Wei is waving at me! She's waving at me!" Zhang Yuanyuan said excitedly. If they weren't in a photo studio, she probably would have jumped up excitedly by now.
An Yiruo stood in the photography studio, looked around but did not see Mo Jingchen. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhang Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, let's go back."
“Okay, let’s go.” After Zhang Yuanyuan finished speaking, another colleague said with some regret, “But I still want an autograph.”
"Shall we wait a little longer?" Wen Xin suggested tentatively, because she also wanted to get a closer look at the celebrity. After all, it was the first time she had seen Xiang Wei in person; she was so slim, tall, and beautiful that even she, a woman, was captivated by her.
“But we’ve been out for a bit too long,” An Yiruo kindly reminded her.
After all, they came out secretly, and if the manager finds out, they're sure to get a scolding.
After An Yiruo's persuasion, everyone agreed that she made sense. Just as everyone was about to leave, Zhang Yuanyuan saw Mo Jingchen and Assistant Zhou walking towards them from a distance.
"Yi Ruo, look! Isn't that the CEO?" Zhang Yuanyuan whispered to An Yi Ruo and several other colleagues.
An Yiruo turned around upon hearing the voice and saw that the figure approaching was none other than Mo Jingchen.
Could it be that Mo Jingchen really came to visit Xiang Wei on set? Could it be that the two of them are... having an ambiguous relationship?
When An Yiruo saw Mo Jingchen approaching, she turned around and hid behind Zhang Yuanyuan, trying her best to prevent Mo Jingchen from noticing her presence.
Hiding behind Zhang Yuanyuan, An Yiruo stared at Mo Jingchen. Zhang Yuanyuan teased, "How about it, Yiruo? Our CEO is still very handsome, isn't he? Even our beautiful An'an is captivated by his good looks."
"Yuanyuan, don't talk nonsense." An Yiruo's face was full of tension. She couldn't imagine what she would do if Mo Jingchen really said what they said.
An Yiruo felt a tightness in her chest, and it was hard to breathe. However, she tried her best to remain calm and composed.
"Mr. Mo, you've arrived." Xiang Wei, who was filming, immediately signaled to stop filming when she saw Mo Jingchen coming over. She then put on her best performance and walked towards Mo Jingchen with a smile.
To others, it seemed as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Ms. Xiang Wei, hello. This is our CEO, Mo Jingchen," Assistant Zhou stepped forward and introduced the two to Xiang Wei.
However, Xiang Wei's expression wasn't too good when faced with Zhou, the special assistant who suddenly appeared before her. She thought to herself, how could Mo Jingchen's assistant be so oblivious? Couldn't he see that her true intentions were towards Mo Jingchen?
"Assistant Zhou, I'd like to say a few words to President Mo."
"You can say whatever you want here." Mo Jingchen didn't want her to get close to him. For him, coming to the photo studio to see her was the highest level of forbearance.
Hearing Mo Jingchen's heartless words, Xiang Wei began to doubt her own charm. After all, no man had ever been able to resist her beauty before.
But if I can't get close to him, how can I take photos and gain views...?
At that moment, Xiang Wei steeled her resolve, walked past Assistant Zhou, and went to Mo Jingchen's side.
The sudden scent of perfume made Mo Jingchen very uncomfortable: "Miss Xiang Wei, is there something you want to tell me? Is it about this season's filming, or something else?"
"Mr. Mo, you're so cold. The first thing you say to a beautiful woman like me is about work."
"Please have some self-respect."
"Mr. Mo really has no sense of romance whatsoever. I have no problem with this photoshoot and will fully cooperate with Mo's in the promotion to increase brand awareness. However, as part of the contract, could you please do me the honor of having dinner with me?"
"Don't go too far," Mo Jingchen said coldly. His displeasure was written all over his face, and his body temperature had dropped to freezing.
"Mr. Mo, I can forgo the endorsement fee this time."
"If you keep talking like this, we'll immediately replace the spokesperson."
Xiang Wei couldn't believe that Mo Jingchen could be so cold-blooded, but she still said stubbornly, "Mr. Mo, I have generated a lot of profits for the company as its spokesperson. If you choose to replace me now, it would not be a wise move for the Mo family."
Although Xiang Wei's words carried a hint of threat, she herself felt rather unsure of herself at that moment.
"Without you, the Mo Group's clothing will still be a hit; it's just a matter of time. So you... are not necessary."
Xiang Wei is good at finding the right angle when she speaks; from An Yiruo's perspective, it looks like she's leaning against Mo Jingchen while they're chatting.
At this moment, An Yiru clenched her fists, trying hard to control the urge to rush up and pull the two apart.
You, Mo Jingchen, this is how you treat me?
