The assistant director shook his head at her, but what was done was done, and there was nothing he could say. Although he complained a little, he could only look at her expression with a sense of helplessness.
Actually, he still really likes Qi Jiu.
After all, this little girl didn't act like a CEO at all on set. She didn't change because of her status. Instead, she was like a little kid running around, mischievous and clever every day, which made her quite likable.
Unexpectedly, Qi Jiu waved her hand dismissively.
"It's okay. If the paparazzi were able to capture me accidentally knocking someone down, then they should also be able to capture the truth. It's just public opinion; being infamous is still fame. This is an opportunity, after all."
Besides, this is no small matter. If it gets taken to the police, the truth will be easier to come out.
Ling Yue: "..."
"You seem to have a good attitude. Cyberbullying is no simple matter. Many celebrities suffer from depression, and it's related to this. You still want a chance? You're really something."
"However... what Qiqi said seems to make sense."
The screenwriter stroked his chin, lost in thought. "Although we might get criticized at first, if we can clarify things later, we'll not only gain fame, but it will also promote our production team. It's a win-win situation."
Ling Yue: "..." 6.
On the other side, Tang Miaomiao, who had just been pulled out of the water by the rescue workers, had fallen into a coma. She was soaked to the bone, with some loose hair covering her face, and she looked very disheveled.
She had some river debris on her, mud and a little moss, so she must have been struggling in the water for a long time.
"Teacher Tang? Teacher Tang?"
Some of the staff members nearby were holding towels, while others patted Tang Miaomiao's face with great concern, but as they expected, Tang Miaomiao did not react at all.
This is what drowning looks like. If the staff hadn't rescued her in time, Tang Miaomiao might have died here today.
"He must have swallowed water, hurry and save him!"
Tang Miaomiao's assistant was very anxious. As Tang Miaomiao's assistant, who was by her side every day, how could she not know that Tang Miaomiao couldn't swim?
But now she can only stand by and watch others rescue her.
"Cough cough cough!"
With the help of those around her, Tang Miaomiao slowly vomited water from her stomach, but judging from her condition, it seemed that she was not yet able to wake up.
"Teacher Tang? Teacher Tang?" Her assistant was almost in tears, pacing anxiously in circles.
"Ambulance! Why didn't you call an ambulance! Someone's going to die! If something happens, who will be responsible?" Tang Miaomiao's assistant's eyes were already red.
The emergency responders, hearing her crying and fussing beside them, gradually grew impatient. "Shut up! Do you think we wouldn't call an ambulance?"
They're filming in a location that's not in the city center, and the nearest hospital wouldn't be this close by.
After she finished speaking, Tang Miaomiao's assistant had no choice but to shut up.
"Will Tang Miaomiao end up in the hospital because of this?" Ling Yue asked nervously, moving closer to the girl in a soft voice.
"Maybe. Then all the online gossip about me will be about me, and I'll become famous. Just wait for me to promote you."
Ling Yue: "..."
The way this went viral is simply appalling.
"Cough cough!" Tang Miaomiao finally showed signs of waking up, spitting out water repeatedly, looking like she was choking badly.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Miaomiao finally woke up, and at the same time, the ambulance arrived.
"Miaomiao, if you're feeling unwell, you can go to the hospital in the ambulance now. This isn't a simple matter." Yan Changning handed the towel in her hand to her assistant, her brows furrowing slightly.
Choking on water could cause problems, especially in the lungs.
Tang Miaomiao, who was slowly waking up, was about to respond, but for some reason, she suddenly became agitated. She was very weak before, but now she actually tried to prop herself up on her arms to get up from the ground.
Yan Changning looked at him with a forced smile.
"No...no need, I'll stay with the crew. It's okay, there are still scenes to film."
"Teacher Tang is so dedicated. Even after falling into the water, he is still so dedicated."
Suddenly, a clear, cold voice came from behind the crowd. Almost instinctively, everyone made way, and there stood Qi Jiu, dressed in theatrical costume, arms crossed, the sword she had been holding gone.
At this moment, she was looking at Tang Miaomiao expressionlessly.
It took Tang Miaomiao a lot of effort to sit up from the ground. She looked at Qi Jiu and gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Teacher Qi Jiu is too kind. I'm awake now, so I should be fine. Of course, I can continue my work. Cough cough!"
Seeing this, the girl said nothing more.
This body belongs to her, and since she doesn't want to leave, then she won't leave.
She didn't want to leave, so she must have had a purpose: to gain sympathy from her fans, killing two birds with one stone.
"In that case, Teacher Tang should get some rest."
"Yes, Miaomiao, you should rest well. We can stay with you. You can continue working once you've rested enough."
Seeing that the director had spoken, Tang Miaomiao finally felt relieved and said, "Thank you, director."
The location has already been rented, and every minute and second costs money, so the crew cannot suspend filming for the sake of Tang Miaomiao alone.
"Everyone, get ready for the next shoot!"
Yan Changning shouted through a megaphone on set, and after watching Tang Miaomiao return to the dressing room, the crew began preparing for the next scene.
This incident seems like a minor episode; everyone remembers it, but it seems no one takes it to heart.
After Tang Miaomiao fell into the water, it seemed that everyone only offered words of concern, and that was it. Tang Miaomiao seemed to have already known this outcome, and could only keep her thoughts to herself.
"Action!"
With the director's command, filming resumed. Qi Silin, sitting in a rocking chair, had witnessed everything that had just happened, clutching his phone and occasionally typing a few words.
There were quite a few people at Qi Jiu's place because of the filming.
"Mingyue, what brings you here today?"
Ling Yue, dressed in fine clothes, looked at Gong Mingyue with delight and couldn't wait to run over to her.
The scene was so heartwarming that the assistant director couldn't stop smiling, but then he suddenly felt a chill beside him and slowly realized what was happening.
