Chapter 173: I’ll Take Care of Big Brother From Now On
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Xian Yu saw his Little Sister, he was overjoyed. He immediately forgot about his argument with his manager and pulled Murong Qiao to sit on the comfortable and soft sofa.
“I just finished filming. Qiaoqiao came at the right time.” Xian Yu stuffed the potato chips beside him into his Little Sister’s arms and placed a bottle of yogurt beside her.
It was as if he was not the one who had just thrown a tantrum in front of the manager just now.
“Hello, Young Miss Murong.” The manager also greeted her. He was very tactful and didn’t mention anything more.
“I’m going to return to school soon so I came to see you first.” Murong Qiao sat obediently beside him and greeted his manager. “Hello.”
“I happen to have some things to deal with, so 1 won’t disturb you.” The manager knew what was going on and found an excuse to slip away, leaving space for the siblings.
In the end, Murong Qiao was still a student after all. The two of them had an unspoken mutual understanding and didn’t tell her about this matter. Xian Yu also didn’t want his Little Sister to worry about him.
Murong Qiao lowered her eyes and hid her thoughts. She secretly remembered Fifth Brother’s matter.
“I asked Director Liu Cheng. He said that you’ve been filming so much these past two days that you had forgotten to eat and sleep.” Murong Qiao looked at Xian Yu and her gaze landed on his obviously thinner face.
The last time she saw him, when he smiled, she could still see the slightly protruding flesh on his cheeks. He looked like an energetic young man who made people’s eyes light up.
Xian Yu smiled. “It’s all your fault for creating such a good male lead character. I’m now addicted to acting as him.”
He said it casually, but Murong Qiao felt her heart ache.
Acting was not an easy thing to do. It was common for actors to wear only a thin blouse outside while filming. Seeing the temperature drop in the past two days, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but worry about Xian Yu.
“Big Brother, don’t work so hard.” Murong Qiao tore open the potato chips but took out a piece and stuffed it into Xian Yu’s mouth first. “I can support you when I earn money in the future.”
Her tone was sincere and honest, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
Xian Yu looked at his Little Sister and happened to see the serious look in Murong Qiao’s eyes. He knew she wasn’t joking.
The anger that had just been ignited suddenly subsided and disappeared without a trace while his heart softened for no reason.
“Sure.” Xian Yu agreed with a smile and ate the potato chips his Little Sister fed him.
He seemed to have forgotten that he had to maintain his figure for the Fashion Week Show in two days and finished all the chips with Murong Qiao.
“Then it’s settled.” Murong Qiao agreed with a smile.
After that, she didn’t stay in the production team for long as Xian Yu still had to film and Murong Qiao had to go back to school. The two of them chatted for a while before saying goodbye.
After leaving the set, Murong Qiao called Jiang Chi and asked for Xian Yu’s manager’s contact number.
“Hello?” Xian Yu’s manager picked up the call. “May 1 know who’s calling?”
“It’s me,” Murong Qiao said. Her clear and soft voice let the manager know the identity of the person immediately.
Young Miss Murong?
The manager was a little surprised. He didn’t expect her to call him.
“When I went there, 1 heard you and Big Brother talking about the endorsement. What exactly happened?” Murong Qiao asked bluntly.
Xian Yu didn’t want her to know, but Murong Qiao had her own way. After all, she had heard the part about her Fifth Brother skipping work to accompany her. It seemed like the director was holding a grudge because of that.
Hence, she would have to ask his manager for more details.
“About this…” When the manager heard Murong Qiao’s question, he didn’t hesitate and told her the whole thing.
In short, it was the director who grabbed onto Xian Yu’s mistakes and wanted to take advantage of Xian Yu’s value.
“You don’t have to worry about this.” After Murong Qiao understood what had happened, she hung up.
The manager looked at the phone and didn’t understand what Murong Qiao meant.
Murong Qiao returned to school and was the only one in the dormitory now. Everyone had gone home in the past few days and Murong Qiao was the first to return.
[Boss, I’ve found what you wanted.] It was a message from Jiang Chi.
Murong Qiao opened the attached document. It was a script, and the source was the director her manager had mentioned. His surname was Jiang. She heard that his skills were not bad, and he was on course to win a Golden Award this year.
She read ten lines at a glance and quickly had a rough idea.
Since he was aiming for the Golden Awards, the script had to have a deeper meaning and some sensitive topics. There weren’t any comedic parts in the entire script. Overall, it looked more in line with foreign tastes. It looked like Director Jiang had some ideas. He probably wanted to take a risk, which was why the script was set like this.
Murong Qiao had an idea after reading it. She opened the official website of the Golden Award on her computer and reported the script.
Her ability to write novels was not bad and thus, her reasoning for her report was well-written. At the beginning, she mentioned a few irregular points in the script, and she didn’t miss out on some places that were suspected of encouraging crimes.
Didn’t Director Jiang want to win an award? Then let’s see how he could win if he couldn’t even broadcast his show.
The Film Screening Bureau had always been strict about films and television works and therefore quickly responded to Murong Qiao’s report.
[Your report has been received. After verifying the information, we will carry out the relevant steps according to the law.]
When Murong Qiao saw this message, her tense mind relaxed a lot. Her attention drifted away, and she heard footsteps approaching the door.
“Qiaoqiao! You’re back so soon!” Yang Xin’s voice came from the dormitory door.
Murong Qiao turned around and saw Yang Xin carrying her suitcase and looking at her in surprise with a red face.
Yang Xin unpacked her things and took out a bag of chestnuts from her luggage before stuffing it into Murong Qiao’s arms.
“This is our family’s specialty product. The chestnuts we planted ourselves are sweet and fragrant!” What floated to Murong Qiao’s side with Yang Xin’s words was the strong fragrance of the chestnuts in her arms.
Murong Qiao was melted by the fragrance and felt warmth in her heart. She hugged the chestnut and smiled happily.
However, contrary to Murong Qiao’s happy mood, was Director Jiang who had just received the notice from the Film Screening Bureau.
He had planned to go out that night to have fun, but he suddenly learned that his drama had been banned.
“Who the f*ck did this!” The script was thrown heavily to the ground. Director Jiang was so angry that his face was red, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He had just discussed the endorsement deal with Xian Yu’s manager and was supposed to be very happy today, but he suddenly received news that his drama had been banned.
It was a piece of work that he had painstakingly created and prepared to use to become famous in one go.
“I-I don’t know.” The staff trembled and didn’t dare to say anything else, afraid that Director Jiang would take his anger out on him if he said another word.
Everything was fine, but they were suddenly banned from broadcasting. Not only could they not find the reason, but more importantly, they couldn’t earn any money if they could not broadcast the show.
Director Jiang, who had lost his temper, also thought of this. Before he could think of a solution, his thoughts were interrupted by a call.
He impatiently took out his phone from his pocket. When he saw the name of the caller, his expression instantly changed.
“What can I do for you?” Director Jiang’s tone was fawning. His posture was humble, and he was obviously afraid of the person on the other end.
It was unknown what the person said, but the staff saw that Director Jiang’s originally angry face had also turned pale, the kind that was even paler than a dead person. This made his bloodshot eyes look even more terrifying.
“I understand.” Director Jiang forced a smile and hung up.
Despair appeared in his eyes. After answering the call from the sponsor of the production team, his mind went blank..
