Chapter 72 - Drinking

Yin Yue’s left leg was in a cast. When she heard Jiang Lu’s foul-mouthed voice, she was in a good mood and came in to watch the show.

She leaned against the door and asked in a teasing tone, “Yo, who made Miss Jiang Lu angry? I heard that someone from the production team suppressed your limelight? It’s a pity that I didn’t see it with my own eyes…”

Jiang Lu looked at Yin Yue from the mirror and sneered. She raised her chin and pointed at Yin Yue’s injured leg.

“Don’t just focus on my drama. Jiang Zhi broke your bones and put you in the hospital for half a month. Don’t you hate her?

“Even as a manager, she was able to film as the stunt double of the third female lead and was praised by Director Zheng. Weren’t you also defeated by her? Now, you can only spend money to play the role of a side character? If you have the ability, then kick Jiang Zhi out of the cast!

“If you can’t do it, then shut up and keep up with that side character of yours! Don’t provoke me!”

Yin Yue was hit where it hurt. Her face flushed red, she slammed the door and left!

The filming of “Beacon” had resumed. It would take some time to set the studio up for the scene on the grassland, and the actors were waiting outside.

Jiang Zhi hid in a quiet corner and used her phone to play the video Director Zheng had sent her. In the muted scene, she was hugging Lu Mian, her expression desolate…

Lu Mian had appeared beside her at some point in time. He circled around her from behind and pressed his chin against her neck.

Jiang Zhi turned off the video in a panic, but she heard his sexy and hoarse voice beside her ear. “Why are you watching the video? I’m right here, you can watch as you wish!

“Not only can you watch it, you can also…”

Lu Mian’s thin lips brushed past her earlobe, and the emotions in his blue eyes were clearly seductive.

Jiang Zhi avoided him and tried to make space between them. She pouted and pointed at the noisy staff behind her. “People are nearby!”

Lu Mian sighed and rubbed the tip of her nose. His eyes were so deep that it seemed as if he could suck her in.

Voices could be heard from outside.

“Wait! Take two more photos here. Did you get the cast?”

“Remember to fix the photos for me in the post-production. Fix the details of the eyes and skin!”

Yin Yue noisily instructed her new assistant to take photos of the scene for her. She held the script in her hands and pretended to be hardworking and dedicated.

The new assistant carried a reflector and various high-definition cameras. She kept pressing the shutter according to the angle of the candid photos.

Director Zheng could see that she wanted to promote her professionalism on the internet and get pictures of her injuries out after the broadcast of “Beacon”.

He could not help but say in disdain, “There are some artistes who are not well-known and have a lot of problems. They can’t be pretentious just because they are slightly injured…

“Jiang Zhi’s ankle was swollen when she was filming a martial arts scene a while ago. She filmed until dawn every day and never complained about being tired!”

Yin Yue could hear director Zheng’s sarcasm and belittlement. When she saw Jiang Zhi, she could not help but say deliberately, “She is obviously a manager, but has ended up filming more scenes than her own artiste. If this gets out, the netizens will think that the threshold of the entertainment industry is rubbish and anyone can get in!”

Jiang Zhi narrowed her eyes and glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. She asked, “The threshold of the entertainment industry is indeed low. Otherwise, how could you get in?

“Oh, you probably don’t know yet. The Internet has revealed that your private life is in chaos. I wonder if it was done by Zhang He’s new lover. Do you want to go and ask?”

Jiang Zhi lightly retorted a few words, and Yin Yue’s breathing immediately became difficult.

She nervously fiddled with her phone and saw the screen full of negative comments. She quickly dialed Zhang He’s number, but no one picked up!

Yin Yue looked down angrily, venting her current frustration on Jiang Zhi.

She recalled the words Jiang Lu had instigated, and a malicious thought surfaced in her mind!

If Jiang Zhi was seriously injured like Yu Wan, the role of the third female lead in “Beacon” would be completely vacant, and no one else would replace her!

Yin Yue secretly schemed. She deliberately took the opportunity to peek at Jiang Zhi’s script while filming. She learned that she was going to shoot the scene of the assassination of the male lead that involved a scene that included jumping off a building to escape!

What a great opportunity to get injured!

The corners of Yin Yue’s lips curled up as she returned to the resting room.

When she was in the hospital, she rummaged through the prescription for sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor. She crushed it into fine powder with a Thermos flask. Then, she sent her new assistant to the city to buy two bottles of extremely strong liquor and mixed the sleeping pills into them.

That night, Yin Yue gently knocked on the door of the props team’s Master Xu. “Master Xu, is it convenient? I have something to talk to you about!”

Master Xu looked at her in confusion, but Yin Yue took the initiative to display the two bottles of good wine. She naturally spread out a few dishes and pretended to be sad.

“I don’t have many friends in the production team. I know that Master Xu and I are from the same place. I wanted to come and chat with you. You won’t chase me away, right?”

“This…”

Master Xu scratched his head foolishly. He remembered Director Zheng’s advice and said hesitantly, “We’re filming an important scene tomorrow. Don’t drink now.”

Yin Yue was secretly annoyed. Very quickly, her eyes turned red as she urged, “I know that you can hold your drink. It won’t make any difference. Moreover, I bought the wine from the city. The taste is mellow. It definitely won’t have any lasting effects!

“Let me toast to you first.”

Yin Yue covered her red lips with her hand and secretly poured the liquor out.

Master Xu finally let down his guard and drank two or three glasses with her, then passed out in the room.
