Chapter 132: The vicious female supporting role is not worthy, hold on to that showy star (15)
Duan Jiaxi was busy filming a variety show. Although he also cared about Li Ziyan and sent messages to Li Ziyan when he was free, the other party deliberately concealed the information. He did not have the habit or domineering attitude of prying into other people's privacy, so he did not know that Li Ziyan and Lu Sirui were in the same crew.
When he learned the news, he only found out when the official announcement from the crew on Weibo became a hot topic.
"Baby, are you and Lu Sirui in the same crew?"
"...Yeah." Li Ziyan answered softly while holding the phone, sounding a little hesitant, as if he was afraid that Duan Jiaxi would be angry. Duan Jiaxi chuckled softly, a little helpless, but there was still a hint of seriousness in his tone.
"Then why didn't you tell me from the beginning? How long have you been filming? Has she given you any trouble?"
Duan Jiaxi didn't like Lu Sirui, but he knew her true character from childhood. Last time, he had given her face and said he had someone he liked. Although Lu Sirui was domineering and arrogant, she was definitely a person who could think clearly about such things. If she took out all her anger and resentment on Li Ziyan, he would definitely not let it go.
"It's okay, Brother Duan, nothing happened, don't worry too much."
"If she dares to bully you, tell me. I'll back you up and protect you." Duan Jiaxi flipped through the schedule on his tablet with some irritation, and murmured softly, "Tsk!" He wanted to go to Li Ziyan, look at his fair and clean face, and touch his earlobe. But he had several endorsements and interviews to attend, so he had no time to spare. "Give me another half month, and I'll come see you after half a month, okay, baby?"
Duan Jiaxi's voice was gentle. If Li Ziyan were in front of Duan Jiaxi right now, he would definitely be mesmerized by the tenderness in his eyes and the gentle smile on his face. At least Xiao Wang, who was sitting across from Duan Jiaxi, was already covered in goose bumps.
"Then I'll wait for you here."
"Yeah, good."
The two chatted for a while on the phone. Li Ziyan was about to start filming, so they said goodbye in a hurry and ended the call. Duan Jiaxi looked at the hung up phone, sighed, reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, but he still felt uneasy.
"Xiao Wang, I'll arrange a job for you."
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Duan, go ahead."
"I don't need you to be busy here anymore. Go to Ziyan's crew and take care of him."
"Okay, I... um? Not Brother Duan, what did you say? Let me go to Teacher Li's crew?" Xiao Wang pointed at his nose, his eyes widened. He didn't know if he was hallucinating or had some illusion, but the cold and cool man opposite him just nodded, then took out his mobile phone to look at the plane ticket.
"I saw there's a flight tonight. Why don't you fly over tonight? I'll feel more at ease with you there. Just tell me if you have any problems. I'm afraid Zi Yan is too soft-hearted and won't even tell others if he's being bullied."
Duan Jiaxi's concerns were justified. It had to be said that during their time together, he had a pretty good understanding of Li Ziyan's personality. He would have preferred to protect Li Ziyan himself and stay by his side, but the situation didn't allow that, so he had to settle for the next best thing. Xiao Wang was his subordinate, having worked with him for five or six years, so he was very confident in him.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable changing it to someone else. It just so happens that you have a good relationship with that Xiao Ke, so he will be responsible for Zi Yan's daily life. You can be responsible for helping Zi Yan deal with those troubles."
Xiao Wang opened his mouth and then closed it again, saying nothing. He now completely understood that his boss was truly serious, and that Li Ziyan might actually become his ultimate boss's wife. However, his feelings were still a little subtle.
"So what are you going to do?"
"I'll ask my family to assign me a new assistant, so don't worry."
"I understand," Xiao Wang nodded. At a time like this, choosing the boss lady was naturally more important. "But I'll wait until the new assistant arrives before I leave. A couple of days won't be too much of a hassle. I'll tell Xiao Ke to keep you informed."
Duan Jiaxi's variety show had just started filming not long ago, and everything was just getting on track. After thinking about it, he agreed.
Li Ziyan didn't know that Duan Jiaxi had already arranged the subsequent issues for him clearly and was diligently preparing for his play.
This time's role is quite different from the last one, or it could be said that this time's role is actually a bit similar to his former self, which makes Li Ziyan feel empathy.
His performance was very good, which made the director very satisfied. He seemed to be in a good mood whenever he was filming. Because of his good personality, humility, and friendly attitude towards everyone, the staff also had a good impression of him. However, the more others liked him, the more people wanted him to be treated badly.
Lu Sirui sat in the rocking chair and hooked her fingers. Her water chestnut-like nails made her hands look thin and long. Seeing Li Ziyan chatting happily with the director and staff not far away, she snorted coldly.
"He just relies on his good looks to hook up with people everywhere. I can't stand his frivolous look."
"That's right, Sister Ruirui. You're a grown man, but you act like a sissy. You don't have any masculinity at all." The assistant next to her was considerate and handed over the prepared fruit. Lu Sirui sat there like a queen, arrogant and extravagant. However, she was spending her own money and using her own people. Although the extras and supporting actors next to her looked noisy, they couldn't say anything.
But the assistant's words were a bit disingenuous. Putting aside the fact that Li Ziyan was an Omega male, whose delicate and lithe figure was an innate characteristic, even without the Omega gender, Li Ziyan couldn't be described as effeminate. His features were indeed exquisite, so exquisite that it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female. But his eyes were clear and pure, his back was always straight, and he exuded a sense of dignity and pride. His demeanor was also gentle, polite, and generous, and he certainly didn't seem effeminate at all.
"I remember the next scene was a rain scene, and we had to go into the sea."
"Yes, you and that person will have to get wet in the next scene. Sister Ruirui, don't worry, I've found a stand-in for you, you won't get cold."
Lu Sirui nodded, picked up a strawberry and put it to her mouth. Suddenly she remembered something, raised the corner of her lips, patted the arm of the assistant next to her, and asked her to lower her head. "Go find that substitute for me, quietly."
"I understand, Sister Ruirui. I'll be there right away."
The young assistant didn't dare to ask and ran away quickly. Lu Sirui looked at Li Ziyan's figure not far away, curled up a cold smile, and her eyes were full of calculation.
