In order to help Jiang Lingâer not feel awkward, Wen Nuan said, âCEO Li, Iâm still with Lingâer here. Iâm also her security guard.â
Then, she looked at the people around her and continued, âEveryone, let me introduce myself. Iâm the Wen familyâs daughter. Like CEO Li, Iâm Jiang Lingâerâs bodyguard.â
Everyone was in an uproar and some of them even looked at Old Master Wen.
Old Master Wen, who was in the crowd, was surprised but did not stop his granddaughter.
Gu Hanhan looked at Jiang Lingâer with jealousy.
On the other hand, Gu Wu noticed that she wasnât in a good mood. He immediately said, âHanhan, are you tired? Let me send you home.â
Only then did Gu Hanhan come back to her senses. She was not drunk, nor was she tired. She also knew that she had no face to stay here anymore.
Gu Hanhan could not affect Gu Wu because of her. She said, âJust ask the driver to send me,â
âAlright, be careful. Tell me when you get home.â Gu Wu nodded.
She nodded, then said goodbye to everyone apologetically before turning to leave.
In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the TV series.
Jiang Lingâer changed into her costume according to the directorâs instructions. After putting on her makeup, she chatted with the other actors in the waiting room.
At around 6:30 pm, the director walked in.
He looked at everyone and was very satisfied. He asked, âHowâs the preparation going?â
âWeâre almost done here,â said the makeup artist. âWe should also be done on the other side soon.â
âAlright, everyone knows where they should stand, right?â the director asked, satisfied. âBe sure not to panic.â
Everyone nodded. They were all very clear about their positions.
The director walked to Jiang Lingâerâs side. He said, âMiss Jiang, stand beside the second male lead when we take the photo later.â
Jiang Lingâer was stunned. She looked at him and said, âDirector, even if the second female lead isnât here today, it wouldnât be good for me to stand beside the second male lead, no?â
At seven oâclock, the meet-and-greet officially began.
âDirector, why did you choose Miss Jiang to make a cameo?â someone asked amongst the people.
The director glanced at Jiang Lingâer. âMiss Jiang, you can pretend you didnât hear what Iâm about to say next.â
âNo problem. Iâll pretend to be deaf,â said Jiang Lingâer with a smile.
He looked at everyone and said with a sigh, âYou all know that our production team doesnât have much money. At that time, the actor for this role asked us to increase their pay at the last minute. We didnât have any money to begin with, so how could we accomplish that? Coincidentally, Miss Jiang helped appear another role, and her acting skills are very good. Moreover, she never asked for any compensation.â
When Jiang Lingâer heard this, she wanted to laugh. She whispered, âThatâs because the pay wasnât worth asking. It was too low!â
The second male lead stood at the side and whispered, âMiss Jiang, didnât you say that you would be deaf?â
Jiang Lingâer said innocently, âHmm? What was that? I couldnât hear you.â
A few days after the meet-and-greet ended, Li Yan returned to China and held an internal meeting on the day he returned.
The meeting room was very quiet.
He swept his cold gaze across the crowd.
Everyone sat there obediently, not daring to speak.
Wang Wei was sitting next to Li Yu, waiting for Li Yan to call out his name.
âVice President Wang, tell everyone about the companyâs recent situation,â Li Yan said after a while.
Seeing Li Yanâs gloomy face, Wang Wei first reflected on himself, then talked about everything and suggested that Bai Xueâs career be frozen.
Hearing Wang Wei say what he was planning to do, everyone became nervous.
Wasnât he just publicly pressuring Li Yan?
Just when everyone thought that Wang Wei was done for, Li Yan said, âMm, thatâs a good suggestion. Letâs go with your plan.â
Everyone was surprised. They all thought that Li Yan would be furious and even fire Wang Wei.
Wang Wei himself was also very shocked. He had only said it to gamble his chances, but he actually succeeded?
Hearing this, Bai Xueâs face turned pale. She thought that Li Yan would be able to continue calling the shots once he returned. However, she never expected that he would agree to put her career on hold.
She had indeed worked as a hostess on a stage before, but Li Yan was her first man!
Bai Xue was extremely unwilling to accept this. However, on such an occasion, she did not dare to say anything.
After the meeting ended, she ignored her assistant and barged into Li Yanâs office.
Li Yan frowned when he saw the angry look on Bai Xueâs face. It seemed that her innocent and harmless look before this was all fake.
He asked, âWhat is it?â
It wasnât that Bai Xue hadnât seen Li Yanâs indifference before, but he had only done this toward outsiders. This time, he was giving her that very treatment.
âLi Yan!â Bai Xue said with tears in her eyes.. âI admit that I was wrong for lying to you, but Iâve always been sincere!â
