This dinner did indeed resolve Su Er's current predicament.
The next day, the director came over during a break in filming and patted her on the shoulder with a smile: "Xiao Er, are there any problems with tomorrow's scenes? If there's anything you don't understand, ask in advance and I'll explain it to you so that the filming will go more smoothly."
This refers to the scene that was originally going to be cut.
The film crew's location was so small, and everyone could see the director's change in attitude. Suddenly, all sorts of rumors started circulating.
In reality, it's all the same old story: she's hooked up with some big shot and can benefit from having a powerful backer.
This is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Whether it's true or not, it's definitely something people enjoy talking about after dinner.
Lin Shuqin was initially worried that Su Er would be upset after hearing these things, but Su Er didn't care much and focused on performing her role well.
People can say whatever they want. If she took every word to heart, she'd probably be crying every day just looking at the comments from netizens.
However, these rumors weren't all bad. At least since the dinner party, Su Er hasn't received any more dinner invitations that were full of suggestive meaning.
As for Mr. Tang... he naturally didn't invite her to dinner again, but privately he repeatedly probed the relationship between Su Er and Jiang Siyan through the company.
After a while, even the company's CEO found out about it and called Su Er over for questioning several times.
But once others have made up their minds about something like this, she can't defend herself even if she has a hundred mouths.
Not everyone is like Lin Shuqin, hoping to take things one step at a time.
For the boss, company profits are the most important thing. If she could have something going on with that "Mr. Jiang," that would be perfect.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Shuqin mentioned the dress to the company, the boss repeatedly instructed her to make Su Er personally call the person, arrange a meal, and properly express her gratitude, so as not to neglect the person.
While Su Er was putting on makeup, she heard Lin Shuqin standing with her hands on her hips cursing at the old man. Sister Qin was known in the company for her foul mouth; she could curse ten times in a row without repeating herself.
In addition, having traveled all over the country over the years, Su Er had picked up quite a few swear words from all over the place, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing, clutching her stomach.
The makeup artist quickly steadied her head, "Oh dear, honey, makeup! Makeup! Take it easy."
Lin Shuqin turned around to look at her when she heard the noise. Su Er glanced at her reflection in the mirror, immediately stopped smiling, straightened her back, and looked incredibly obedient.
Lin Shuqin glared at her and scolded, "Troublemaker!"
Su Er really wanted to protest her innocence, but after glancing at Lin Shuqin's expression, she decisively shut her mouth. Lin Shuqin continued to interrogate her: "Have you been in contact with him during this time?"
She answered frankly, "No, besides, Sister Qin, it's been so long, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be short of clothes. He probably forgot about it a long time ago."
Lin Shuqin thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. Perhaps Mr. Jiang was just acting on a whim, and it would seem a bit deliberate to remind him of this incident by bringing up the clothes again.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuqin felt a little relieved. She took out her phone and looked through her schedule, saying, "After this movie is finished, there will be a free period. What are your plans for then? Is there any vacation destination you'd like to go to? I'll help you make arrangements."
"Xiao Er, it's your turn, get ready." The stagehand knocked on the RV door.
"Okay, thank you." Su Er's makeup was just finished, and she quickly replied. She put on a light jacket and stood up. "No need, Sister Qin. I haven't been home in a long time. I'll go home and spend some time with my parents after I'm done with this."
"Alright, whatever you say."
Su Er's filming continued until almost nine o'clock today. She didn't even have time to eat dinner, and her stomach was growling with hunger, but she didn't show it at all. She bowed as she walked out, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. See you tomorrow."
Fang Li quickly draped a coat over her shoulders and handed her a thermos: "Sister Er'er, here, brown sugar water."
Su Er took the document, looked around, and asked, "Where's Sister Qin?"
Fang Li handed her the phone to look at. The name Su Er on the trending search was familiar. She was also an artist under Sister Qin's management. She had never been very popular before, but tonight she became a hot topic because of her relationship.
"Look, it's been on the list all night. Sister Qin went to deal with it." Fang Li pursed her lips, then suddenly thought, "Sister Er'er, I heard she also auditioned for Director Duan's role with Sister Qin. Do you think it's possible..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Er put her arm around her shoulder and walked faster. "Alright, we can't control what others do. Have you eaten yet? Are you getting impatient?"
"I've already eaten, I saved some food for you, okay!" Fang Li suddenly exclaimed halfway through her sentence.
Su Er was startled by her question, "What's wrong?"
Fang Li patted her forehead, looking annoyed. "Sister Er'er, I forgot to put your food in the insulated box. It's probably all cold by now."
Su Er rubbed her head and said, "Alright, I thought it was something serious. Why are you making such a fuss? Let's go back to the hotel and heat it up before we eat."
Fang Li looked miserable. "I'm so sorry, Sister Er'er, I'm always so forgetful."
Su Er had no intention of comforting her anymore, and only said in a serious tone, "Okay, if you realize the problem, then correct it. Be careful next time, or I won't forgive you."
Old Chen drove the car to the nearest intersection, which made it easier for the two of them to walk less.
Su Er greeted him from a few steps away, "Sorry to bother you, Uncle Chen, I'm late today."
"Xiao Er, you're always so polite. It's windy tonight, get in the car quickly."
