Unlike her sweet and lovely image on camera, Su Ying is arrogant and roguish in private, completely unlike the "innocent girl" stereotype.
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Jingwen's expression cracked slightly.
The real Su Ying is far more shocking than she is now.
"Damn it, this coffee is way too bitter..."
"Hahahaha, you fucking idiot..."
"Holy crap, she's amazing..."
"Why isn't filming finished yet? I'm starving..."
In front of the camera, Su Ying is sweet and gentle, but behind the camera, she swears constantly and has a tough demeanor.
After coming off set today, I've completely lost all my mystique about celebrities.
"My God, the difference is too big. She's so shady in private. Isn't she afraid that her colleagues or extras will expose her?" Zhu Jinzhao whispered in Jiang Jingwen's ear, linking arms with her.
"Expose her? Do you think those lead actors are perfect?" Jiang Jingwen said disdainfully. "Eighty percent of people in the entertainment industry are dishonest. If they dare to expose Su Ying, Su Ying can expose their dirty laundry in no time!"
"People in this circle are actually all checking and balancing each other. You have my dirt, and I have your dirt. Even if you can't stand each other in private, you can only tear each other apart in a mild way. Nobody dares to go too far."
"I see." Zhu Jinzhao understood.
It was past midnight, and the crew finally started serving dinner. Jiang Jingwen pulled Zhu Jinzhao toward the food area and continued, "I don't actually find Su Ying's condition strange."
"Why?" Zhu Jinzhao asked curiously.
Jiang Jingwen: "Because Su Ying's father is a well-known nouveau riche in the capital!"
"A nouveau riche?" Zhu Jinzhao's eyes widened.
Jiang Jingwen explained, "Before her father became successful, he was a fishmonger. He only started learning how to do business after winning the lottery. She grew up in the vegetable market, so it's normal for her to have this kind of personality."
Zhu Jinzhao: "Ah...so the sweet and obedient girl persona is hers?"
Jiang Jingwen gave a heavy "hmm": "With her personality, how could she possibly become popular without creating a persona?"
"Her father invested in two-thirds of this drama, which is why she dared to be blatantly late and arbitrarily add or change scenes! The second female lead is almost being changed to a special lead role."
"My God..." Zhu Jinzhao's expression was indescribable. "The difference in her appearance is just too great..."
The meals provided by the crew were all standard boxed lunches. Jiang Jingwen went up and took two boxes, and she and Zhu Jinzhao found a corner to squat down and eat.
"The food is pretty good." Zhu Jinzhao's tired eyes lit up instantly when he saw the big chicken leg in his lunchbox.
"What kind of crap is this? The portion is tiny and it tastes awful. They really don't care about the lives of the extras!"
Zhu Jinzhao had just finished praising the boxed lunch in her hand when a man next to her sharply expressed his disgust.
Zhu Jinchao frowned and furtively turned his head to look to his right.
The man was wearing a gray cloth shirt, his appearance was messy, and his face was dirty; he also looked like an extra.
Unlike the other extras, he exuded an air of arrogance from head to toe, yet within that arrogance lay an undeniable air of nobility. Even dressed in coarse linen, his outstanding charisma was undeniable.
He irritably tossed the lunchbox aside and ran his hand through his messy hair. As he did so, the necklace around his neck came off, and the number 9 hanging at the end of the necklace reflected a blinding light in the sunlight.
Zhu Jinzhao squinted, the more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.
Noticing Zhu Jinzhao's gaze, he turned around with a sour face, his eyes already cursing before he even spoke.
But the next second, Zhu Jinzhao smiled with surprise.
"It's you!"
"..." The man paused for a few seconds before remembering who Zhu Jinzhao was.
“It’s you,” he said, raising an eyebrow and smiling wickedly, “the little girl who was being harassed.”
"It's me! You're here as an extra too?" Zhu Jinzhao was very happy to see him again, and his round, bright eyes smiled like crescent moons.
"Yeah." The man couldn't help but sigh deeply when the topic of being an extra came up. "You're doing this part-time again?"
Zhu Jinzhao nodded: "Mm!"
The man asked, "How much do you charge per day?"
Zhu Jinzhao lowered his voice: "Two hundred and thirty."
The man gave a mocking sneer: "They're all the same."
"Who is he? Do you two know each other?" Jiang Jingwen looked at them blankly and asked with a hint of gossip.
Zhu Jinzhao introduced him generously, saying, "He's the handsome guy who helped me catch that guy the other day."
"Ah..." Jiang Jingwen remembered. She bent down and glanced at the man from afar. Although she could only see a profile with deep features, it didn't stop her from being amazed.
"Wow, he's so handsome! He really is a handsome guy!"
Zhu Jinzhao nodded in agreement: "Yes, he really is handsome!"
handsome guy:"……"
The handsome guy was in a bad mood and didn't have time to admire his good looks.
"Can you get me some food? I'm starving! There are only a few pieces of meat in a box of rice, not even enough to fill my teeth!" He was holding his phone, chatting with someone on WeChat.
The person on the other end replied to him via voice message:
“My dear young master Shi, I also wanted to bring you food! But Uncle Shi has already told all of us families not to help you. My dad is keeping an eye on me, and I can't go anywhere except the company.”
“I just tried to order takeout for you, but my dad confiscated my phone. Now I reply to your WeChat messages on my computer.”
"Who told your father to be so powerful? None of our families dare to offend him. Young Master, you'll have to suffer for now, and things will be better once your father's anger subsides."
The man said, "He has a terrible temper. He said he'd kick me out, and he really did. He didn't give me a single penny!"
The reply from the other end was: "Getting your money back is easy, just go back and apologize to him."
Man: "Impossible. I did nothing wrong, why should I admit it? I'm not talking to you anymore, my lunch is getting cold."
Zhu Jinzhao didn't want to eavesdrop, but because she was too close to the man, she heard every single word he said clearly.
Zhu Jinzhao roughly knows that men are in a bad mood because they think the boxed lunch is not tasty and they are not full.
The man had helped her after all, so she looked at the chicken leg in the bowl and reluctantly picked it out.
"for you."
The plastic lunchbox suddenly sank, and a chicken leg appeared in front of the man.
He was startled, then turned to look at Zhu Jinzhao: "What are you doing?"
Zhu Jinchao smiled sweetly: "Here's a chicken leg for you."
The man frowned: "You pity me?"
"No," Zhu Jinzhao quickly denied. "I didn't pity you; I wanted to repay you. You helped me, and I haven't even properly thanked you yet."
"You don't need to give me a chicken leg if you're thanking me." The man didn't want it and picked up his chopsticks to take the chicken leg back to Zhu Jinchao. Zhu Jinchao moved the lunchbox away and didn't take it at all.
"I don't want any either. I ate four eggs this morning, and I'm not that hungry yet. The remaining vegetables are enough for me."
"Put the chicken leg back quickly. If you give it back to me, I might only take a few bites and then stop eating it."
"Are you sure?" The man licked his lips.
Zhu Jinzhao: "I'm sure, hurry up and eat!"
"Thank you." The man accepted it after all.
"My name is Shi Jing. What's your name?"
Zhu Jinzhao looked at him and smiled: "My name is Zhu Jinzhao."
