Chapter 338: An Yu 6 It's not like I'm not going to clean up your mess.
But today is destined to be unsuccessful.
Exhausted after finishing work, dusk fell once again.
The road was slippery, and Xiaoli was afraid that something might happen while driving, so she prayed in the car every day with trepidation.
Under her piety.
Good news: There have indeed been no incidents of vehicles losing control or rear-ending each other.
Bad news: I had a flat tire.
A small thumbtack pierced the tire perfectly.
It was pitch black, a desolate wilderness, with nothing but emptiness in front and behind the road, only the faint light of the streetlights illuminating the bare, snow-covered branches.
After all, in this kind of weather, and in such a remote place, it's difficult to even get a taxi.
Even roadside assistance probably won't be able to arrive in a short time.
An Yu's phone was out of battery, so Xiao Li had no choice but to call the company on a whim.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I was sure the company would send a car to pick me up.
An Yu sat in the car, looking listless.
She caught a chill today, and her body is still feeling cold, while her forehead is a little hot.
Because of the snowfall a few days ago, and the fact that the area is remote, the signal is intermittent and unstable.
An Yu kept her eyes closed, too weak to open them to complain about her bad luck, but she felt a lot of pent-up grievances.
The waiting time felt incredibly long, with each second feeling like an eternity.
Physical discomfort brought back the unpleasantness of the afternoon, plunging An Yu into a low mood, a moment she rarely experienced.
Just then.
The roar of the sports car broke the silence of the night.
A swaggering Porsche pulled up in front of them.
The car window rolled down, revealing Xu Xiangbai's nonchalant face.
Xiao Li opened the car door, somewhat surprised, "Boss, why did you arrive first?"
"The rescue vehicles are too slow; I need to ensure that my company's artists get adequate rest."
He spoke casually, without the slightest air of superiority.
"Just knowing that your boss likes to do good deeds is enough."
At this point, only half an hour had passed since he made the call to the company.
The distance from the city center to here is at least an hour and a half.
Xiao Li understood the unspoken meaning in Xu Xiangbai's words.
In this situation, it would indeed be more appropriate for Xu Xiangbai to take An Yu away while they stayed behind to handle the rescue issues.
So he patted An Yu, who was half asleep, and said, "An Yu, wake up, the boss is here to pick you up."
An Yu felt a little feverish, and after being woken up by Xiao Li, she was in a dazed and confused state.
I instinctively pushed open the car door and got out.
I saw Xu Xiangbai leaning against the door of the orange sports car.
Under the headlights of the sports car, his figure appeared tall and slender. He seemed exceptionally resistant to the cold, wearing only a jacket despite the frigid weather. Even in his casual stance, he retained the air of a noble young master.
An Yu's mind raced for a moment before she belatedly realized, "Why are you here?"
He shook out his open coat, his expression particularly arrogant, "Come be my savior."
Xu Xiangbai opened the passenger door and noticed An Yu shivering inside her oversized down jacket. "It's too cold outside, let's get in the car first."
He muttered in confusion, "The van only had a flat tire, it's not like the heating stopped working. It's usually as hot as a firecracker, why is it so cold today?"
An Yu didn't have the energy to argue with him today, so she glanced at Xu Xiangbai and said, "Why don't you just grab a megaphone and shout right next to my ear?"
Her voice was a little hoarse, and Xu Xiangbai sensed something was off.
"Your tire's flat, fine, but why are you so listless?"
He didn't bother with posing or looking cool. After shoving An Yu into the passenger seat, he bent over, leaned against the car door, and looked at her.
I thought she had suddenly changed genders.
"Why don't you jump up and yell at me a couple of times? I'm not used to you being so docile all of a sudden."
An Yu was speechless. What kind of masochistic fetish did he have?
Before An Yu could even utter the word "get lost," Xiao Li's indignant voice came from behind, "Boss! Sister An Yu was bullied on set today!"
Xiao Li has known An Yu for a long time and knows that An Yu and Xu Xiangbai have a good relationship.
I started working for An Yu right after graduation; those born in the 2000s are at the age where they love to tattle.
"Today, Lin Nantian's girlfriend visited the set and inexplicably isolated Sister An Yu. During filming, because of Lin Nantian's lack of cooperation, Sister An Yu spent the whole afternoon soaking wet in the ice-cold studio."
Xu Xiangbai's eyes darkened, his probing gaze falling on An Yu's slightly sickly face, his voice somewhat deep, "Is that so?"
To be fair, there aren't many people or things that could cause An Yu to feel wronged.
Even in a place like the entertainment industry, where all sorts of people mingle.
Apart from some setbacks when he first started out, his career path, while not meteoric, has been smooth sailing.
In addition, An Yu's personality is such that she is very open-minded about her future.
Her ambition has always been to strive for excellence in herself, rather than to stand at the height of being in the spotlight.
Therefore, there's not much that can be used to control her.
However, the crew's hard work and reputation are also factors.
This drama has had many twists and turns, and the entire crew has worked very hard. We can't let it be ruined by the discord between the male and female leads.
So today, she accepted Lin Nantian and his girlfriend's outrageous behavior.
The production team isn't blind; they can see through their little tricks.
However, he dared not say much because of Lin Nantian's reputation.
In such situations, those who prioritize the overall situation must always swallow some grievances.
An Yu had been slowly processing her emotions, but Xu Xiangbai's direct and sudden question caused her emotions to surge back.
Xu Xiangbai tapped the car door with his fingertip, his tone still irritating, "Speak up, you've become mute just because you've been wronged?"
An Yu pursed her lips, not wanting to appear pretentious.
When everyone is still unknown, every actor will encounter some form of mistreatment.
"It would be shameful not to say."
Xu Xiangbai scoffed, "Why are you still so stubborn about saving face that you suffer for it?"
This statement couldn't be more fitting for An Yu, as even An Yu herself is well aware of her flaw of valuing face above all else.
"I thought you were really like a crab, but it turns out you also have times when you endure humiliation and hardship."
An Yu felt uneasy, and she didn't know why.
Every word Xu Xiangbai spoke seemed to fuel her fire, each sentence a barrage of questions.
She gripped the seatbelt, feeling both aggrieved and angry.
"What else can I do but act like a complete brute? So many people in the crew have put in so much effort, and I really want to make this show a good one. I can't just do things my own way. Anyway, I have my own rhythm."
Xu Xiangbai got into the driver's seat.
I didn't rush to start the engine.
But as An Yu's explanation, which started out relatively calm, became increasingly distorted.
Xu Xiangbai tossed the tissue box into her arms, tilting his head away, ignoring An Yu's tearful eyes that were about to burst into tears.
The tone was casual, as if discussing the weather.
"So what if I do what I want? It's not like I'm not going to clean up your mess."
"What kind of legitimate boss would pamper their artists and then have them tear each other apart?"
Xu Xiangbai turned to look at her, the usual playful look in his eyes gone, replaced by a rare serious expression.
Open and confident: "Me."
