Wen Li turned off her phone, the incessant nagging of her agent, Zhou Xingyun, still lingering in her ears.
"We are the juniors, so we have to arrive before the seniors in the crew."
Wen Li rubbed her dry eyes, looked at the still dark sky outside the car window, and couldn't help but say, "But it doesn't have to be five o'clock, does it?"
At midnight yesterday, Zhou Xingyun gave a last-minute notice that he had to go to the film set the next day.
Cars couldn't get into Huo Yinghuai's villa area, so Wen Li had to walk to the nearby bus stop in advance to wait for the bus, which meant she had to get up at four o'clock in the morning.
She slept no more than four hours a night, and started yawning as soon as she got in the car.
Zhou Xingyun stopped talking and, seeing that Wen Li looked like she was about to fall asleep, quickly said, "Then I won't say anything more. You can take a nap in the car first."
Wen Li tilted her head and didn't respond, it was unclear whether she heard her.
Zhou Xingyun leaned down slightly and glanced at her, only to find that Wen Li had fallen asleep at some point.
Zhou Xingyun sighed, adjusted the car's air conditioning to a comfortable temperature, and then pulled the blanket over Wen Li up a little higher.
——
When Wen Li arrived at the film set, there were already quite a few staff members setting up the set.
Zhou Xingyun brought Wen Li to the dressing room and said, "You won't have any scenes for the next two weeks. Today is just for taking costume photos and holding the opening ceremony."
Wen Li was almost fully awake and nodded upon hearing this: "I will work hard to earn money."
Zhou Xingyun: "..."
What an honest child!
A short while later, the makeup artist arrived at the film set. After Zhou Xingyun spoke with the makeup artist, the makeup artist looked towards the dressing room.
Wen Li was still sitting on the small stool in a daze. The built-in light on the makeup mirror made Wen Li's skin look exceptionally bright, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.
The makeup artist was stunned for a moment, and almost stumbled to Wen Li's side before recovering her senses.
"Wen Li, you're so beautiful!"
In the entertainment industry, makeup artists have seen many beautiful female celebrities, but Wen Li, just sitting there, exudes a unique charm without saying a word.
"I'll make sure you look beautiful!" the makeup artist said, getting ready to begin.
Just as she was halfway through applying her makeup, a piercing sound suddenly rang in Wen Li's ear.
Being so close, Wen Li couldn't help but frown, her starry eyes looking towards the direction of the sound.
At first glance, Wen Li didn't recognize her.
I took another look, and I really didn't recognize it.
Looking at the tall woman with wavy hair in front of her, Wen Li asked the question that truly struck her: "Who are you?"
Chen Wanning stood at the door of the dressing room. Wen Li's words made her pent-up anger catch in her throat, and her face instantly turned red.
She exclaimed incredulously, "You don't recognize me?!"
Wen Li felt a little confused and was about to say that she didn't know him when suddenly she remembered him and exclaimed, "I remember now!"
Chen Wanning's complexion improved considerably, and her eyes gleamed with smugness.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Wen Li shout, "You are Huo Yinghuai's fake fiancée!"
"Who's lying!" Chen Wanning's expression changed again upon hearing this, then she changed the subject: "You still haven't told me why you're here?"
As she spoke, Chen Wanning looked at Wen Li's peach-pink belted dress, her expression growing increasingly grim: "Aren't you an orphan? Why did you get the role of Yun Sui? Was it a role that Brother Ying Huai invested in for you?"
Chen Wanning seemed increasingly certain of what she was saying.
Since she secretly went to the villa last time, her family's company has lost more than 30 million yuan, and she was scolded by her father for it.
How could Huo Yinghuai have ever complained to her father about a woman before!
It must all be because of Wen Li!
Wen Lijian and Chen Wanning's expressions changed several times, and she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you apply for intangible cultural heritage status for the speed at which you change your expression?"
Even Sichuan opera can't match Chen Wanning's face-changing speed.
Wen Li spoke very seriously, as if she were giving a sincere introduction.
The staff watching the scene couldn't help but laugh out loud, which Chen Wanning found extremely grating.
"Wen Li, I don't care how you got into the crew, get the hell out of here now, or I'll make sure you can't survive in the entertainment industry!"
To everyone's surprise, Wen Li held her phone up to her the entire time.
Chen Wanning's imposing manner instantly crumbled, and a venomous glint appeared in her eyes: "What are you doing?"
Wen Li chuckled: "Recording? My agent said the entertainment industry is treacherous, so he told me to record whenever I encounter a problem."
But she couldn't find an app for recording audio, so she could only use her camera to record video.
Chen Wanning: "..."
The crew members were also seeing such a top-notch newcomer for the first time. If it weren't for Chen Wanning's father being the biggest investor, they would have all given Wen Li a thumbs up.
Chen Wanning was caught off guard, but Wen Li had the video, and this woman was a woman of her word. She was really afraid that Wen Li would post the video online.
Chen Wanning isn't stupid. She's just an internet celebrity right now, and her fan base isn't very loyal. If the video were to be released, many fans and casual viewers probably wouldn't buy it.
"Wen Li, you just wait!"
Chen Wanning thought about her scenes with Wen Li, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
Wen Li didn't take Chen Wanning seriously at all.
Life is never a smooth journey.
Chen Wanning has a bad character. She was destined for great wealth and honor in the first half of her life, but doing too many dirty things will eventually affect her luck.
In a few days, Chen Wanning will suffer even more misfortune.
Although Wen Li was thinking this, she sent a cute "Are you there?" emoji to Huo Yinghuai's chat box.
Huo Yinghuai was probably still on the plane and did not reply.
Wen Li didn't pay attention and put her phone back in her pocket.
