44. Testing Lin Man
In the crew, after Guan Miao got the promise from Chi Yi and the Special Treatment Department, he felt a lot more relaxed and looked better than before.
Weiwei, the crew's makeup artist, finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You finally look a little better. Although Teacher Chu is a social animal, he doesn't look like he's been pulling all-nighters like you do."
As he spoke, he saw that An Jing was the only one in the lounge, so he asked, "Are you sure about your role today?"
Guan Miao looked at his condition in the mirror and nodded firmly, "I'm sure."
"That's good. You don't have to take the accident from the past few days to heart. It's normal to feel lost when you first join the group. Don't worry about other people's opinions."
Listening to her words, the person in the mirror slowly narrowed his eyes, "Yeah, don't worry about other people's opinions. I'm an artist, and it's normal to be criticized by the public.
If I take everyone's words to heart, wouldn't I just be a garbage can?"
Seeing that she was so open-minded, Weiwei felt relieved. It seemed that Director Li was thinking too much.
The staff knocked on the door and said, "Teacher Guan, Director Li said that filming will start in ten minutes. Are you ready?"
Guan Miao took a closer look at her makeup and said, "I'm ready!"
Throughout the day, I was in very good shape as Guan Miao said. I could basically finish each scene within three takes. Even if it was more, it was definitely not because of Guan Miao.
"Okay, that's all for today. Let's pack up and go back early."
Guan Miao, who had successfully passed the test, had just pulled An Jing along with him and was happy for a few seconds when she heard a gentle female voice behind her, "Sister Guan."
Lin Man! What does she want?
Guan Miao and An Jing looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes, but at the moment there were staff members around them and it would be bad if they ignored them.
Thinking about it, she turned around and forced a smile, "Teacher Lin."
Unexpectedly, Lin Man looked at her with a worried look on her face, "Teacher Guan, I saw that you were not in good shape the past two days, and your eyes were all bruised. I was very worried.
So I went to a nearby Chinese medicine store and found some tranquilizers for you. But I see that Teacher Guan looks much better today. It seems I was worrying too much."
"Really? I also feel like I've been sleeping extra soundly these past two days. Look how much more energetic I feel after getting enough sleep."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a fierce look flashed in Lin Man's eyes, which made Guan Miao even more certain that it was Lin Miao who did it to him.
Is Lin Man so impatient? She seems to have just recovered a little and she can't wait to come and find out the news.
It seems that he is still young, and with Zhao Xu protecting him all the way, he is not calm enough in doing things.
Huh? No, they seem to be about the same age.
While Guan Miao was daydreaming, Lin Man forced a smile and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. I was worried that Sister Guan's condition had been bad and that she had upset Director Li.
But now it seems that my sister is worrying too much."
She didn't respond and asked, "Teacher Lin just said that he bought some tranquilizing herbs for me. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to use them?"
Lin Man was stunned. "Of course." As she spoke, she turned her hands, which had been behind her back, and there was a pink bag in it.
"But I think Sister Guan probably won't need this thing now, so I'd better take it back."
"Well, since it's your kindness, I can't refuse. Besides," Guan Miao deliberately showed a distressed look, "what if I slept well yesterday and can't sleep well today? Maybe I will have to rely on these calming sachets you gave me to fall asleep again."
"That's what Sister Guan said. Now that the things have been delivered, I'll leave first. I hope Sister Guan can sleep well tonight."
"Then I'll borrow your good words?"
After watching Lin Man walk away, Guan Miao's fake smile fell off his face. He looked at the bag in his hand and said, "I'll ask Sun Mi later. Who knows if this thing is poisonous?"
After returning to the car, An Jing asked, "Since you don't trust Lin Man, why did you accept the gift she gave you? Are you trying to lure the snake out?"
Guan Miao leaned back in his chair and smiled tiredly, "Why are you trying to attract snakes? I just thought she'd already bought it. If I don't take her back and she goes back to play the victim, I'll be miserable."
An Jing: "Okay, that's a reason."
As soon as the two of them pushed open the door to the hotel, Deng Ling stood up and rushed to her and said, "Lin Man will be leaving the group the day after tomorrow."
"ah?"
The two who had just returned from the crew looked at each other in bewilderment. "When we just came back, Lin Man was so smug. Why is she suddenly quitting?"
"Boss Chi said she had just asked the Zhao family about the situation this morning, but after just a few words, Zhao Xu was so frightened that he immediately promised her that he would definitely deal with Lin Man.
I think this withdrawal is just the first step, followed by a semi-ban, and then, after that, it will have nothing to do with us anymore."
Upon learning the result, Guan Miao was not too upset and only asked who would take over Lin Man's role.
"Since it was He Yang who caused this, of course He Yang was the one who pushed for new talent. Furthermore, to express their apology, they compensated Lin Man for breach of contract and also gave the crew an additional investment."
But it is hard to say to whom this money is used to apologize.
At present, the fact that Guan Miao is Chi Yi's man cannot be concealed at all. Whether it is for He Yang or the newcomers who are about to join the group, it is worth spending a little money to please Guan Miao and wash away the negative comments from Chi Yi.
Guan Miao had no sympathy for Lin Man's fate. If she was just an ordinary person, Lin Man might have used Zhao Xu to pressure Director Li to change the script, and then she might have been forced to quit.
Anyway, you are using your backers to pressure others, so if you lose, you should pay the price.
She was only concerned about the role of squad leader now. "As long as there's someone to fill in, it'll be fine. It's rare that I get off work early, so I'll finish packing and go to bed early. Maybe I can sleep a little longer."
Deng Ling was about to nod, but suddenly thought of something and said loudly, "No, Chai Yue said that if you come back, you should go to her room and wait for her. She has something urgent to tell you."
"Sister Chai Yue? Where is she?"
"She went downstairs to buy dumplings. But she should be here soon. You can go straight to her room after you wash up."
"Okay." Maybe the Special Handling Department has some news.
After meeting Chai Yue, I confirmed that the Special Handling Department wanted to hold a meeting with her to discuss the specific steps for resolving the issue.
“Ding ding ding.”
After the video conference sounded, Chai Yue pressed the answer button, and Qian Zhi's familiar face appeared on the big screen.
"Xiao Guan, long time no see."
"Director Qian, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been lately?"
"I'm fine. Now, let's stop being polite. We've already found out what's going on with you, and we can remove the curse from you right now."
Guan Miao's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "What do you need me to do?"
"Please provide your date and time of birth, preferably with the exact time, such as the hour and minute."
