Chapter 33
Taking Initiative to Work
“What happened?!”
The staff in the logistics area were so frightened by the high-pitched voices that they ran over. Director Han was slightly shocked when he saw Wang Li and Tan Si in such a sorry state. However, having been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, he was sensitive enough to quickly realize that the two of them might know each other in private.
Director Han retracted his expression and said earnestly, “What’s wrong? Let’s talk nicely. I’ll be your judge.”
Only then did Wang Li and Tan Si come to their senses. They could not reveal their private relationship. Otherwise, if the news of Tan Si hooking up with her brother-in-law and having a child out of wedlock was exposed, her career would be ruined. The two old farts from the Si family did not like Tan Si to begin with. Before she married into the Si family, it was better for them to keep a low profile and not create negative news.
“It’s fine. We accidentally spilled some water when we were drinking just now.”
Tan Si’s manager, Zhou Yun, had also arrived. When she saw this situation, she immediately began to chase everyone away. “There’s nothing to see. Everyone, go do your own things! Director Han, about what happened just now…”
Director Han put on a reassuring expression and said, “Don’t worry. If a celebrity has a private matter during the recording, I can still guarantee that I won’t reveal it.”
Since Zhou Yun had already chased him away, Director Han naturally could not stay any longer. He brought his staff out of the tent.
Zhou Yun knew about what happened between the two sisters and glared at Tan Si. She was angry that she would cause trouble at such a time when rumors could be so easily spread. “Tan Si, I have something to tell you. Come out.”
The mother and daughter left with a stomach full of anger. The two children were also woken up by the noise. Fortunately, the confinement nanny comforted them in time, and their cries had already become softer.
However, it still made Tan Ming’s heart ache terribly. She went forward and hugged the two children in her arms and kissed them. The two children smelled their mother’s scent and were much more at ease. When they were tired from crying, they slowly fell asleep.
Li Mei sat beside Tan Ming and said in a low voice helplessly, “We still have to get a divorce quickly and stay far away from these two families. I’m annoyed just by looking at them!”
Tan Ming nodded. “After the show ends, I’ll think of a way to contact my Si Cheng and ask him when he’ll be back.”
On the other side, Wang Li and her daughter returned to their small tent. Tan Si crossed her arms in front of her chest and complained to Wang Li, “Mom, Tan Ming doesn’t listen to us at all now. I don’t want to be at the bottom of tomorrow’s missions.”
Wang Li took out the tissue from the production team and handed it to Tan Si. She narrowed her eyes and said, “I don’t know where that female bodyguard hired by Tan Ming came from. When we go back this time, I’ll get your father to find someone to teach her a lesson. When Tan Ming doesn’t have her protection, she’ll be at our mercy.”
Zhou Yun, who followed closely behind, looked at Tan Si with a serious expression. “If you have any grudges, settle them privately. Now, the Internet is saying that you have severe Princess Syndrome. Auntie, do less work tomorrow. Tan Si, take the initiative to work. Many people on the Internet are saying that you don’t know how to be grateful.”
Tan Si stopped drying her hair and looked puzzled. “Are you crazy? My parents didn’t even scold me. Why would a bunch of people rush over to care about me for no reason? It’s none of their business whether I do work or not!”
Wang Li also hurriedly chimed in, “Our Si Si can’t do rough work. She’s about to marry into the Si family. She can’t get her hands rough.”
Zhou Yun resisted the urge to roll her eyes. “There’s only one day left for this episode. You guys are just pretending. How rough can your hands even get? Let Tan Si have a better reputation in the industry. That should be what you want to see, right?”
When the mother and daughter heard this, they nodded and agreed. The sugar in the black plum soup began to make them feel sticky and uncomfortable. Wang Li habitually instructed Zhou Yun in a commanding tone, “Find us some fresh water to bathe. Otherwise, how can we appear on screen tomorrow like this?”
Zhou Yun scanned the two of them from top to bottom and kept telling herself that Tan Si was the female celebrity with the most potential under her. After taking a deep breath, she said, “I can get water for you to wash up, but you can’t change your clothes. Otherwise, the audience will know that you didn’t act according to the rules of the show. When that time comes, those female celebrities will use it to attack Tan Si.”
Although the two of them were unwilling, they still agreed.
At six o’clock the next day, Tan Ming woke up early and pumped her milk, handing it to the confinement nanny. Then, she returned to the tents where the guests were staying. The live-stream started at seven o’clock sharp. Director Han’s loudspeaker also began to urge everyone to wake up.
The production team wanted to cause trouble early in the morning again. They suggested that everyone either use their points to exchange for breakfast or go to the seaside to fish and make breakfast themselves.
