The director was caught off guard by the unexpected arrival of the film’s investor. To everyone’s surprise, the investor, in this case, Boss Niu, scolded Tang Xiaoxiao quite severely. It was evident that there was a bigger figure above pressuring him.
Attempting to ease the tension, the director hurriedly reassured, “Boss Niu, you’re being a bit too harsh. We’ll wrap up the scenes as quickly as possible.”
Boss Niu responded politely, “Director, with your assurance, 1 feel much better. If Xiaoxiao continues causing trouble, just let me know. 1’11 teach her a lesson.”
The director commented, “Xiaoxiao’s acting is decent, but being a young person, she can be a bit temperamental. She’ll learn to settle down with time.”
Trying to be diplomatic, the director offered some nice words for Tang Xiaoxiao. After all, she was brought in by the investor. The investor could scold her but they couldn’t!
Satisfied with the director’s response, Boss Niu smiled and said, “Alright, Director, please take care of Xiaoxiao in the future.”
The director quickly agreed, “Of course, of course.”
Boss Niu then turned to Tang Xiaoxiao, offering a stern warning, “Xiaoxiao, in the film crew, you’re a newcomer who doesn’t know much. Behave, learn some manners, and don’t cause trouble for the crew, got it?”
Caught in a moment of feeling wronged, Tang Xiaoxiao stood there without nodding or refusing.
Angrily, Boss Niu reiterated, “Can’t you hear me?”
Tang Xiaoxiao shivered and quickly said, “Godfather, I understand.”
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao’s pitiful expression, Boss Niu didn’t have the heart to continue. After all, she made him quite comfortable in bed.
Boss Niu chatted with the director for a while, found an excuse, and left the set.
This dramatic scene came to an end.
Jiang Ling’er didn’t need to think twice to figure out who had arranged for the person to come. She looked at Li Yu with gratitude.
Li Yu smiled and said, “I know you prefer to keep a low profile, but 1 can’t let others trample on you.”
Against her strong reluctance, Tang Xiaoxiao was still hoisted onto the wire.
After several takes, they barely managed to get through it.
After getting off the wire, Tang Xiaoxiao cried, claiming to feel unwell and wanting to rest.
The director saw Tang Xiaoxiao looking extremely tired, and since she couldn’t hold on, he didn’t make things difficult for her. He allowed her to take a half-hour break and then started shooting scenes with the male lead and the daughter.
Cai Kun also began to size up Jiang Ling’er. Just now, his manager had mentioned Jiang Ling’er’s identity, leaving Cai Kun shocked. He couldn’t believe that this daughter of the Jiang family would come to the set as an assistant to the action director.
Cai Kun, with deep meaning, said, “Jiang Ling’er, Miss Jiang, 1 didn’t expect you to be so low-key.”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned, then smiled and didn’t say anything.
Li Yu casually said, “Our young lady has always been low-key. Please don’t spread this information.”
Cai Kun was very repulsed by Li Yu, but he still politely said, “Rest assured, I won’t casually tell others.”
Li Yu casually said, “Mr. Cai, if you have nothing else to do, stay away from our lady. You’re a popular star; being caught by the paparazzi won’t benefit anyone, right?”
While speaking, Li Yu physically separated the two.
Cai Kun glanced at Li Yu, feeling quite displeased. This bodyguard had crossed the line.
Cai Kun said, “Little Jiang, your bodyguard is being overprotective, don’t you think?”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Not at all! I appreciate his meticulousness. With him around, I feel completely safe.”
Li Yu couldn’t help but smile, feeling even more happy inside.
Jiang Ling’er’s response made Cai Kun feel embarrassed.
Cai Kun could only say, “I’m being presumptuous, but this bodyguard of yours seems good. If he’s from a security company, please share the details with me. I also want to hire one.”
Jiang Ling’er, smiling, said, “Oh, so that’s it. Well, you’ll be disappointed. This one 1 like personally, and a security company can’t arrange it. My family can’t arrange it either.”
Cai Kun showed a disappointed expression and said, “Oh? Is that so? Nothing can be done then.”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t continue the conversation.
Cai Kun, seeing that Jiang Ling’er did not speak anymore, also didn’t continue to disturb her.
Around one in the afternoon, Jiang Ling’er received a call from Assistant Li, asking her to go to the company at nine in the morning the next day to prepare for the new jewelry advertisement shoot. He also informed her that the two pieces of jewelry she inquired about had already been sold out.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ling’er called Qiu Yang.
Jiang Ling’er said, “Brother Yang, I asked. The jewelry piece you wanted is limited edition, and it’s sold out. I’m really sorry; I can’t help you.”
Qiu Yang smiled and said, “Silly girl, what’s there to be sorry about? I knew the chances were slim. Chen Group’s limited edition pieces are all patented work. Just let me know whenever something new’s out.”
“In that case, you should be on the lookout these days,” Jiang Ling’er replied..
