"This is the first time I've seen Teacher Tang so anxious. So you think our relationship is already this good? I'm quite surprised myself. If that's how you think, then I can pretend I don't see the insults online."
A casual remark caused Tang Miaomiao's expression to change completely.
She frowned as she looked at Qi Jiu, not saying a word, but her eyes seemed to speak volumes. If Yan Changning hadn't been there, she probably wouldn't have been so reserved.
Is this guy subtly or overtly trying to get her involved?
"Since there's a directing team, I won't worry about it. Ms. Qi Jiu, you should go change your clothes now. We still have filming to do. Time is money, so I'll go get ready now."
She smiled faintly, and without waiting for a reply from Qi Jiu and the other person, she left.
The moment she turned her face away, the smile on her lips vanished.
When she could no longer be seen, Yan Changning suddenly spoke in the quiet environment, her voice sounding both melancholy and regret.
"It seems like it's most likely her. If it really is her, what are you planning to do? Tang Miaomiao debuted early and has quite a few fans, so this might not be so easy..."
This is no small matter. Although the final result was that she fell into the water, which may lead to a cold and fever, this is already the least of her worries.
But if she hadn't saved the day at the beginning, falling from such a high wire would likely have resulted in injury or even death.
But nowadays, many marketing accounts and media accounts like to stir up trouble. A newcomer who just debuted is bringing down a veteran in the entertainment industry—this kind of rumor and gossip…
"China isn't a country ruled by law? Then let her be held accountable for her actions. Don't worry about anything else, anyway, I don't make a living as an actress."
As she spoke, she patted Yan Changning on the shoulder, "Don't worry, she will definitely pay the price, and netizens can't do anything to me. If the actress is changed, I will make her pay back the venue fee. I'm going to make preparations now."
The girl's voice was very calm, which made Yan Changning feel a little dazed.
Finding suitable actors isn't something you can just do casually, but the props for the production team were already prepared, so they couldn't just be taken apart whenever they wanted.
Tang Miaomiao has been in the industry for many years, and although she has few leading roles, her salary must be quite high.
This statement isn't entirely without basis. Although the production team isn't short of money, saving money is naturally the best option.
Watching the girl's dashing figure disappear into the distance, Yan Changning sighed. "This is the only way."
Given Tang Miaomiao's character, even if Qi Jiu, with her saintly heart, lets her off the hook this time, she will likely cause other trouble in the future. If she then crosses the line in the entertainment industry, this work will still be shelved.
Therefore, in order to create this work, we must address the problem at its root.
Qi Jiu had just returned to the rest room when Fan Yi came to greet her.
"Did you finish the ginger soup? You just held it without drinking it; it was meant to keep you warm. Why are you so late coming back? Your clothes are all wet, and it's so cold outside. Why didn't you come back sooner? What if you caught a fever?"
As she spoke, she took a towel and went to greet Qi Jiu, looking at her as if she were seeing her own obedient daughter, and said some kind of nice things.
Even so, she still wrapped the person in the large towel she was holding.
The girl smiled as she listened to Fan Yi's words, which sounded like those of an old woman.
"It's alright, I'll drink the ginger soup. It's just that I'll have to trouble the makeup artist to redo my hair and makeup, which might take a while."
Her clothes were already soaked, and with her makeup and hair accessories, she definitely needed to redo her hair and makeup.
"It's alright. Luckily, the crew has spare clothes and hair accessories. We'll just redo them for you."
The makeup and hair stylists were all very easy to talk to, and since this wasn't the girl's original intention, they even felt a sense of pity when they looked at her now.
"By the way, Fan Yi, in the area where the wire work was previously managed, have someone secretly install surveillance cameras. They should be pinhole cameras, and installed in a place where no one will notice."
She closed her eyes and spoke calmly. If Fan Yi hadn't heard her own name coming from her mouth, she would have thought she was talking to herself.
"clear."
After an unknown amount of time, the props outside had been repaired, and once everything was ready, Qi Jiu pushed open the door and went out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I saw someone who should have been in the company right outside my break room. At that moment, those dark eyes were staring intently at me, like a hunter spotting its prey.
"Ah Lin?"
The man frowned, then his sharp eyes scanned the entire crew before he left. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was about to wreak havoc.
In an instant, you could also sense the unusual atmosphere of the entire crew.
It seems... everyone has become less lively, some... are holding back?
"Sis, President Qi must have seen the trending topic." Fan Yi appeared behind her at some point, her voice soft, as if afraid that Qi Silin would notice them.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu was taken aback and tilted her head slightly. "You're on Weibo so soon? The speed at which you surf the internet, news in the entertainment industry really does spread fast."
It's only been an hour since this happened, the internet speed must be incredibly fast.
Upon hearing Qi Jiu's voice, Qi Silin immediately strode over. "Are you alright?"
It's so cold outside, I don't know if I'll catch a cold or get a fever. "I ordered medicine, it should be here soon."
"It's alright, why are you here? Is everything alright at the company?" Logically speaking, as the boss of the entire Qi Group, he should be busier than her right now.
After all... she's a hands-off manager now; as long as no major problems arise, she basically doesn't need to concern herself with the company.
Star Moon Company executive: "..." Very good.
The man shook his head. "What's more important to you than the company? You can't even fall into the water while filming a movie? Aren't you cold?"
As he spoke, he shoved the hot coffee he had prepared earlier into Qi Jiu's hand. He looked around at the surroundings, his expression quite unpleasant. In the end, he even sat down in the rocking chair where the girl usually rested, and decided not to leave.
Yan Changning: "!!!"
He knew this young master would come, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly! Aren't you leaving yet?
Seeing the director's utterly dejected expression, Qi Jiu decided to break the somewhat tense atmosphere. "Director, where's Teacher Tang? I've already redid my makeup and hair, but I can't see her anywhere. Director, why aren't you smiling? The atmosphere on set is so nice."
Yan Changning: "..." I'm not naturally fond of smiling.
"It seems like you've been staying in your rest room ever since you fell into the water."
