Oops!
She was so focused on reminding that brat that she forgot she had something like this in her hand!
Hiding it now seems deliberate, but for a moment she didn't know how to explain it.
Just as Su Nian was stammering and unable to give a coherent explanation, her assistant suddenly spoke up: "Sister Meng, it's like this, my family has been short of money lately, so I wanted to try to develop in the direction of extras. So I asked Sister Nian to teach me how to act in my spare time. This ruler is just a prop."
“Yes, yes, that’s right, Sister Meng. We shouldn’t have violated any crew rules by doing this, right? The director shouldn’t scold me, right?” Su Nian nodded in response, her eyes filled with worry and apprehension.
"Probably not, this is your private matter and has nothing to do with others. By the way, Sister Niannian, I wanted to borrow an eyebrow trimmer from you. I broke Jingjing's."
Suppressing the nausea churning in her stomach, Cheng Meng made up an excuse, took the eyebrow trimmer handed to her by her assistant, and turned to leave.
Whew~
Seeing Cheng Meng walk away, Su Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave her assistant an appreciative look: "You did a good job today. No wonder people say that you become like those you associate with. After being by my side for so long, you've become smarter than before. Put the ruler away and behave well. I won't hit you for the next month."
As she finished speaking, Su Nian adopted a haughty demeanor, slightly raising her chin as if bestowing a favor upon her assistant.
The assistant knelt down and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Sister Niannian. You are beautiful inside and out."
She learned the phrase "beautiful inside and out" online, and Su Nian liked hearing it.
On the other side.
Cheng Meng, who said she was going to fetch water but returned with an eyebrow razor, didn't realize her water bottle was empty until Mo Jingjing asked, "Sister Meng, didn't you go to fetch water? Where's the water? Oh, and why do you have an eyebrow razor in your hand?"
Seeing that Cheng Meng was clearly preoccupied, Mo Jingjing frowned slightly.
"Look at my brain, I completely forgot about getting water. I'm so sorry, Jingjing. Please wait a little longer, I'll go get some more now."
Hearing Mo Jingjing's question, Cheng Meng looked down at the kettle and suddenly realized what it was. She patted her head and hurriedly left, but quickly returned: "I got this from Su Nian. I'll leave it with you for now."
This time, she really went to fetch water.
Mo Jingjing's scenes were very packed today, and the time was extremely tight. It wasn't until the day's filming was finished that she finally had a moment to ask, "Sister Meng, what's with that eyebrow trimmer? You still haven't told me."
After much deliberation, Cheng Meng told Mo Jingjing everything she had seen that day.
Along with my own conjectures.
"So, you suspect Su Nian of abusing her assistant?" Mo Jingjing concluded.
“I feel it’s not just abuse. Jingjing, have you heard of PUA? Su Nian’s assistant gave me a strange feeling today. She’s just an assistant, not someone who’s signed a contract to sell herself. She can just quit. I don’t know what she’s afraid of.”
Could it be that there are some little-known stories behind these two?
Cheng Meng had indeed considered this possibility, but dared not delve into it.
As Mo Jingjing's agent, she hopes that the filming of this drama can be completed smoothly without any further complications.
"You want to get involved in this?" Mo Jingjing asked again, confirming Cheng Meng's thoughts.
"I...don't want to."
Sometimes, what is called "acting bravely for a just cause" is not called "acting bravely for a just cause," but rather "meddling in other people's business."
Perhaps it was the way her assistant looked at her that had a certain impact on Cheng Meng's mind, because she felt particularly tired today.
The conversation with Mo Jingjing has come to an end.
The carriage returned to silence.
That evening, Cheng Meng quickly washed up and went to bed. She had a strange dream that night, and her conscience and reason struggled against each other for the entire night.
The next day.
Mo Jingjing got up at six o'clock in the morning to wash up and get ready.
The scenes we're filming today are starting early.
Whenever filming on location, all members of the crew will stay in a hotel arranged in advance by the production team.
There are just too many obsessive fans these days. Only after Cheng Meng and Zhang Heng strongly urged him did Su Mu restrain himself and follow the crew's arrangements.
You can't hide your love for someone.
If you cover your mouth, the tears will show in your eyes.
Su Mu always timed breakfast perfectly, arriving right after Mo Jingjing.
That way, their dining together won't arouse suspicion from others.
At 7:30 a.m., everyone was in position and filming began on time.
This was a closed shoot, and everyone's assistants and agents had to wait outside. Cheng Meng glanced at her assistant holding a water bottle, tissues, and a fan, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to seize the opportunity.
After straightening her clothes a little, Cheng Meng walked towards her assistant with a glass of cold water. As she passed by, she deliberately twisted her ankle and poured all the cold water in the glass onto her assistant.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. What should I do? Your clothes are all wet. I have two clean clothes with me. Come with me and take care of yourself."
Cheng Meng looked at her assistant with a face full of guilt.
"Thank you, Sister Meng, but no need. This little bit of water will dry in a while." Even when someone splashed water on her, Mo Linlin looked restrained, as if she was afraid of upsetting them.
Their timid and submissive demeanor makes them seem really easy to bully.
It can also easily arouse a protective instinct in others.
"Little assistant, are you sure such a big water stain will really dry in a while? You are Su Nian's assistant and also Su Nian's face. Even if this water stain dries, there will still be marks. If Su Nian comes out and sees it, she will think you deliberately damaged her image and scold you. Don't blame me."
"It's just changing clothes, it'll be quick. Besides, I'm the one who did something wrong, not you, so why are you being so timid?"
Finally, Cheng Meng added a disappointed remark at the end.
As if spurred on by Cheng Meng's words, the assistant finally grew a little bolder: "Okay, I'll go with you to change clothes."
“That’s more like it. Follow me.” Cheng Meng nodded with satisfaction and led the way. “Don’t worry, your sister Niannian’s scene will take at least an hour to film. This is plenty of time.”
The assistant didn't catch the double meaning in Cheng Meng's words, which reassured her quite a bit.
For some reason, she felt at ease standing behind Cheng Meng.
This feeling was something only her grandmother had ever given her, besides Cheng Meng.
The assistant's mind wandered, and by the time she came to her senses and stopped walking, she had already arrived at Mo Jingjing's dressing room.
"Here, put this on. I'll go get you a cup of hot water. Be careful not to catch a cold in this weather."
Cheng Meng took care of this little sister like an older sister.
