Chapter 1298 - Are you kidding me?

Bai Xiaonian was led upstairs by Lu Jinnan. With one hand on the railing, she asked, “I don’t want to go out to walk in the afternoon. Can I walk on the treadmill at home? It’s too hot outside, okay?”

“The treadmill is too dangerous! Be good... let’s walk outside!”

As Mrs. Lu’s tummy grew bigger, Mr. Lu practically stayed by her side, unless the company really needed him to be present at a meeting.

Cai Jingyao had initially thought that since she was competing with someone as high profile as Su Manman, even if Fu Huai’an wasn’t there, Lu Jinnan, as the president, should at least be present during the shooting of the commercial.

However, only when Cai Jingyao arrived at the studio did she realize that neither had the chairman, Fu Huai’an, nor the president, Lu Jinnan, come to the set.

Su Manman was a high-ranking celebrity, so it was her turn to film first. However, even before Su Manman had arrived, Cai Jingyao had to wait outside the studio until Su Manman was done with her filming.

Cai Jingyao almost couldn’t hold back the raging fire in her heart. She smiled and asked the assistant director, “Can I wait in the studio first? That way, I can familiarize myself with the surroundings.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Cai. Miss Su said that she didn’t want you to be there during filming. Since Miss Su is up first, we can only ask you to wait outside. The director feels that it wouldn’t be nice to invite you over when Miss Su arrives later.”

Cai Jingyao’s eyes widened. “Are you kidding me?”

“Do I look like I’m joking with you?” the assistant director asked.

Cai Jingyao was speechless.

Cai Jingyao, who was sitting under a tree on such a hot day, couldn’t express her anger. Her assistant stood by the side and fanned her, saying in a low voice, “Sister Yao, you just returned to the country and don’t know. Miss Su has always been the one to lord over others in the industry...”

Cai Jingyao’s brows twitched. Lord over others? Hur hur...

Cai Jingyao had always been the one who put on airs and acted overbearingly. Since when did people pull off the same thing on her?

Cai Jingyao instructed her assistant to take a photo of her sitting under a tree in the distance. She then used a small account to post it on Weibo. The caption was that Su Manman was a big shot and was filming an advertisement with a female celebrity who wasn’t as famous as her. Not only was she late, but the lowly female celebrity wasn’t even allowed to wait inside the studio on such a hot day. She had to wait until the big shot celebrity was done filming before she could enter!

Then, Cai Jingyao found a water army to rise the post onto the search rankings.

After uploading the Weibo post, Cai Jingyao sat in her simple resting chair, feeling refreshed. She put on her sunglasses and waited for the results...

An hour later, Cai Jingyao opened her Weibo to look at the comments, her face livid.

[@Kitten Demon: What’s so interesting about this to be posting on Weibo? Our Manman goddess has always been overbearing to begin with!]

[@Dumb Fish: My goddess Manman is so straightforward and overbearing.]

[@Adversities: I don’t know what’s the meaning of this person posting on Weibo. We all know that Su Manman is overbearing in the entertainment industry, and we love her for being overbearing.]

Cai Jingyao simply couldn’t believe her eyes. What was wrong with these people?

Was no one reprimanding Su Manman for being overbearing in the entertainment industry? Shouldn’t they be questioning Su Manman for being so overbearing?

What was wrong with people nowadays? Could they be any more unreasonable?

Almost everyone on the internet felt nothing was impressive about this news, and it even made it to the top search rankings. Some people even sensed that something wasn’t right. They suspected that the 28th-tier female celebrity in this photo had deliberately posted it on Weibo to make use of Su Manman’s popularity and then manipulate the post in such a way so that it reached the hot search rankings!

Otherwise, how would Su Manman’s domineering deeds in the entertainment industry be worth trending?

If such a small matter were to be trending, then wouldn’t Su Manman be trending every day?

Just as Cai Jingyao was about to flare up, Su Manman arrived.

Su Manman’s car drove all the way to the entrance of the studio. Her assistant immediately exited the vehicle to help her out while holding an umbrella to shade her from the sun.

Su Manman was wearing a red cheongsam dress that she liked and a pair of golden sandals with thin straps. Her skin was so fair that it looked like it could glow. Her long, golden hair draped over her shoulders, and when she got out of the car, her alluring aura made one’s hair itch. She portrayed living life beautifully vividly and was dazzling to the eye.

After she removed her sunglasses, the corners of Su Manman’s eyes, which were raised up, revealed a hint of domineering coldness. It was as if she was looking down on everything, yet at the same time, looking at nothing. She was the queen of this world.

Cai Jingyao clenched her fists. She had wanted to show her magnanimity and go up to Su Manman to greet her, but before she could get close to Su Manman, she was stopped by her bodyguard.

Su Manman didn’t even look at her as she entered the recording studio.

Cai Jingyao, who was standing at the back, saw the director approach Sun Manman, while Su Manman maintained her high-and-mighty attitude and asked, “I heard that... there’s a male actor acting with me today?”

“Yes, yes! But we’ll keep the identity of the actors a secret for now. You’ll know when you see him later!”

Seeing the director acting like a lackey in front of Su Manman, Cai Jingyao was almost certain that she had no chance this time.

However, it didn’t matter. Regardless of whether she got the endorsement or not, she would benefit from this either way.

Cai Jingyao thought about it and sat down under the shade. Within a few minutes, she saw another van driving over and stopping outside the studio.

Cai Jingyao frowned. Was there someone else?

When Cai Jingyao saw Shi Hanchu get out of the car, her heart started to beat rapidly.

He recalled Su Manman’s question to the director earlier, and her emotions surged...

Were they going to act with Shi Hanchu?

Cai Jingyao bit her lip. If that was the case... then it would be best for her to secure this endorsement deal. After all, Shi Hanchu was too famous. Previously, Yun Liuli had become popular because she acted with Shi Hanchu.

Cai Jingyao began to think of a way to get Lu Jinbei clinch the endorsement deal for her.

Su Manman wasn’t interested in who the male actor was. She sat in the dressing room with her legs crossed. Her ears were stuffed with earphones as she allowed the makeup artist to help her put on makeup.

Su Manman’s assistant stood by the side and discussed with the makeup artist about what kind of makeup to put on her...

The assistant knew that the male actor who would be filming the advertisement with Su Manman was Shi Hanchu, so he felt nervous in front of Su Manman.

When Su Manman attended the filming of “Forest Adventures,” she had asked other female celebrities not to lay a finger on Shi Hanchu... The production crew didn’t cut the scene out. Later, when Shi Hanchu ran into Su Manman, he told her not to do this in the future. He really didn’t like such behavior. Everyone was a professional, and Su Manman had to respect that. Ever since then, Su Manman had been avoiding Shi Hanchu.
