With a "ding" sound, the cell phone rang.
Looking at the clinical reaction report sent by Zhuo Yanting, Qiao Ruoxi raised the corners of her lips.
Immediately afterwards, Zhuo Yanting sent another message.
[I'm sorry, Master. Because of my selfishness, you have to fall into danger.]
This was followed by a screenshot of a high-speed rail ticket to Zhangcheng.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and shook her head, and replied with only four words: [We are in the same boat]
The next day, something new happened on the set.
For more than half a month, Qiao Ruoxi, who always arrived early and never late, was actually late and made the entire crew wait for her for half an hour.
Gu Feifei was shivering in the cold wind in her costume, gritting her teeth in anger.
Why is it that he is late for the scene with her? Don’t you know how cold the weather is now?
She even suspected that Qiao Ruoxi was late on purpose to trick her!
Director Jiang frowned and asked the assistant beside him, "Did you get through on the phone? Is she feeling unwell? If not, get someone to take her to the hospital. Don't delay."
Upon hearing this, Gu Feifei became even angrier.
When she heard that there were crew members around who offered to drive Qiao Ruoxi to the hospital, Gu Feifei was so angry that she almost tore the prop handkerchief into pieces.
Why is she the target of public criticism when she is late, while Qiao Ruoxi is shown concern and caring when she is late? Why?
"The call went through. Sister Xi said she accidentally overslept and asked me to apologize to everyone on her behalf." The assistant breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
Director Jiang and several other assistant directors also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad she's okay. She's been having a lot of late-night scenes lately, and her emotions have been all over the place. It's been hard on her. It would be good if she could get some more sleep."
Gu Feifei clenched her fists so hard that they made a creaking sound. Why did Qiao Ruoxi have so many excuses for being late?
Twenty minutes later, Qiao Ruoxi finally appeared on the set, yawning.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally overslept and kept you all waiting. I brought some coffee and snacks as an apology to everyone." Qiao Ruoxi bowed to everyone.
She went to do her makeup and change her clothes, while Xiaoyuan distributed coffee and snacks to everyone on the scene.
When they saw the coffee, the impatience on everyone's faces disappeared, and some even expressed their gratitude to Qiao Ruoxi.
Gu Feifei was even more confused now, and her eyes turned red with anger.
"Why is that?! The day I was late, I also delivered coffee and snacks. And it was internet-famous coffee, which most people can't buy. How could it be worse than the roadside stall that Qiao Ruoxi delivered?"
Xiao Ai didn't dare to speak.
Just at this moment, Xiaoyuan handed over the coffee: "Sorry, Sister Xi is a little unwell today. I kept you waiting for a long time."
"No, it's okay." Xiao Ai lowered her head and took it.
However, as soon as he got the coffee, it was overturned by Gu Feifei with a slap.
"What do you mean it doesn't matter? A cup of coffee can buy you off? I've been standing in the wind for half an hour, and a cup of coffee can make it even?"
Xiaoyuan repeated to Gu Feifei what she had just said to Xiao Ai, put the coffee on the ground, and turned to leave.
Gu Feifei: ???
She kicked over the cup of coffee Xiaoyuan gave her: "Who cares about your coffee? Let Qiao Ruoxi come and apologize to me in person!"
Xiaoyuan ignored Gu Feifei completely. Just as Gu Feifei was about to chase after her, she saw people around her looking at her with disgust.
"Sister Xi is rarely late, and she even bought coffee to apologize. What else does she want? How can she be so magnanimous?"
"It's a personal vendetta. They're both from wealthy families, but Sister Xi is a better actress and has better relationships with people right after her debut. She's just jealous."
"No wonder I've never become famous. It turns out I'm just too narrow-minded."
Hearing the people around her talking about her, Gu Feifei was about to explode with anger. Isn't this blatant double standard!
Is it because she only has the Gu family behind her, while Qiao Ruoxi has not only the Shen family and the Pei family behind her, but even the Luo family is backing her?
"This is so unfair!" Gu Feifei bit her back teeth and squeezed out these words from between her teeth.
Xiao Ai was worried that Gu Feifei would lose control again and affect her mood during the next filming, so she quietly reminded her, "Sister Fei, actually, we are not prejudiced against you."
"Isn't this prejudice?" Gu Feifei sneered.
"I'm telling the truth, don't be angry." Xiao Ai looked at Gu Feifei's face and spoke carefully.
"The first reason everyone is so lenient with Sister Xi is that everyone is familiar with her, and this is the first time she's been late in over half a month."
"The second reason is that they deliver the coffee instead of waiting in line to buy it. Do you understand?"
Xiao Ai spoke more and more quietly, fearing that she would set Miss Gu off again.
As expected, Gu Feifei slapped Xiao Ai in the face: "I am your boss, your employer, and you are actually turning your elbow outward and speaking for others. Believe it or not, I will fire you right now!"
"I'm sorry, Sister Fei." Xiao Ai covered her face with her hands, her eyes red with grievance.
She regrets it so much now. She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and talkative!
I secretly vowed to myself that I would just do my job well and not meddle in other people's business anymore.
After the filming officially started, new situations arose.
"Ruoxi, you're not in the right state. Recall your state from yesterday and let's try again."
Qiao Ruoxi sniffed, her eyes a little dull: "Okay, Director Jiang, I'm sorry."
"Hey, it's okay. Okay, all departments, get ready. Scene 130, first shot, second take!"
The second one passed smoothly.
"Cut! Ruoxi, do you want to take a break? That look you had just now was too empty. The camera can still see you now, so you can't let it go. One more!"
