The man was not annoyed at all after being scolded, and he even smiled smugly: "Thank you for letting me. Of course I will seize this God-given opportunity. I just hope that Miss Sheng can still remember me by then."
On the side, Young Master Xia, who saw through everything, sneered and said, "You'd better save yourself some money."
The tone was lazy and very contemptuous.
The young man didn't understand what this meant at first.
Then when he turned around and looked inside the stable, he saw that the person in charge of the stable had taken back the noble horse with shiny fur that many people envied, which he had given to Sheng Yuan.
Young man: “?”
Then, the staff member who had just handed over the check walked up to him with the check still intact.
The staff member was also confused, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose his words: "...Master, um, the actress said she doesn't need it."
Young man: “…”
Looking at the returned checks on the table, the signatures are still fresh and warm.
He was very confused and scratched his head, looking at Zhao Cheng and the others. Zhao Cheng and the other young masters and the young ladies obviously did not expect that Sheng Yuan would actually refuse.
Only Xia Xicheng remained calm and raised his eyebrows without surprise.
…
The business was not done and the duck in hand flew away, but the person in charge of the horse farm still refused to give up.
"Little girl, you have to think carefully. This horse has a bad temper. We usually have to coax it in every way before it is willing to come out and run a few laps."
"I had coaxed it into submission in the morning and fed it a lot of food, but it took a nap and then refused to work again."
She is really quite arrogant.
What the person in charge didn't say was that if it weren't for its beautiful appearance, which really makes people feel unique at first glance, he would have sold it long ago.
Moreover, if its temperament could be a little bit docile, the hourly rental price would be beyond the affordability of the crew.
"Will you really dare to ride it to film later?"
The person in charge looked at Sheng Yuan, and his tone was obvious - questioning and disbelief.
Before Sheng Yuan could say anything, Ling Ting beside her said sarcastically, "Why bother? If you are afraid, just say it openly."
"That young master obviously helped you change your horse out of kindness. If it were Sheng Yuan, I'd say you shouldn't just take advantage of it now. Just quit while you're ahead."
Ling Ting's tone was sour and sarcastic.
"You want to ride a docile horse before the shooting starts? It will be too late to regret it. The young master probably won't want to bother with you anymore."
“…”
The girl, who had been silent all this time and waiting quietly for the filming to start, sneered softly. She raised her half-closed almond-shaped eyes, lifted her light and transparent eyelids, and glanced at Ling Ting.
With a half-smile, he suddenly asked, "Do you want to ride?"
Ling Ting was stunned.
With so many eyes on me, I definitely can't say I want to ride at this time.
Ling Ting raised her chin and said, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of person who takes advantage of others? The young master is changing the horse for you, not for me. He must be asking if you want to ride it."
"Of course I don't—"
"If you want to ride, I can talk to that guy for you."
Before she could finish her words, Sheng Yuan leaned on the railing, turned her head slowly, and looked towards the parasols outside the horse farm.
After a moment, she turned around without any emotion, her eyes fell lightly on Ling Ting, and then she curled the corners of her red lips: "Take back the check, and then, bring back the horse."
"How about it?"
The girl's sweet voice was lazy and faint, and every word she spoke was calm and full of temptation.
This time, Ling Ting did not refute Sheng Yuan in a decisive and righteous manner, and a trace of confusion gradually appeared in her eyes.
Who doesn't want to ride a noble horse? Not only Ling Ting, but also several other actresses were so jealous when the young man offered to help Sheng Yuan change her horse.
They were all dreaming that if they had not been so anxious to grab the horse, and had gotten the horse with a bad temper, then they would have been the one helped by the young master, and they would have been the one riding the noble horse.
Sheng Yuan refused without knowing the good thing to do, but she offered to help her get a horse.
There are only two possible outcomes of asking for a horse.
Rejected.
But that was also Sheng Yuan who came forward. Sheng Yuan was humiliated and rejected. Sheng Yuan lost face. What does it have to do with her, Ling Ting?
But what if the other party agrees...
I can’t guarantee it…
That young master seemed quite approachable and helpful, otherwise he wouldn't have been so unable to bear it and went to help Sheng Yuan change the horse.
However, Ling Ting was not stupid enough. She knew that she couldn't speak too bluntly, exposing her true purpose and ambition. She hesitated for a while: "...You, you said you want a horse, so you want a horse. Do you have a lot of face? Why would that young master listen to you?"
Sheng Yuan didn't answer, still curling her lips: "So you want to ride it?"
“…”
Ling Ting was really shaken.
However, just when she was about to open her mouth, Sheng Yuan suddenly stood up and said regretfully: "Oh, it seems that you don't want to do it anymore, forget it."
“…”
Ling Ting held her breath in her chest: "..."
She was obviously going to agree! Who said she didn't want to?
It took her a long time to react.
It was obvious that Sheng Yuan had fooled him! She had no intention of asking for a horse for him!
Ling Ting was so angry that her face turned red and she was going crazy behind the scenes.
…
"Give me the reins."
Sheng Yuan walked directly to the horse with white inner fur and smoky gray body and stretched out her hand to the staff at the stable.
Jiang Mingxin still walked over with a bit of trepidation, thought for a moment, and then told him the plan he had come up with at this moment.
"Well, we'll split the scenes for the horse racing scene, so we won't give you five full shots. Sheng Yuan, wait until they finish filming, and then you can ride a docile horse to complete the shot."
"We can edit this scene in post-production, there is no problem at all."
It must be said that the method proposed by Jiang Mingxin is quite good, but it has an inevitable drawback -
It's very tiring.
Also, it takes a lot of time...
There is no doubt that the shooting time of this scene will be extended, and the subsequent scenes will also be postponed.
Sheng Yuan frowned immediately.
"No."
"But, this horse has a really bad temper... Sheng Yuan, you——"
Jiang Mingxin was responded to by the sweet and calm voice of a young girl.
"It's okay, it looks pretty good."
