The next day, New Year’s Day.
Even on New Year’s Day, the film crew couldn’t take a day off. Shi Su hurried to shoot a few scenes. In the afternoon, Cherry Yang ca and said that she would also go to the perfu company executive’s event tonight. She urged Shi Su to dress up well and not to appear bare-faced after filming, reminding her to be more conscious of being a popular actress.
It was just a bunch of pointless nagging, a daily routine of finding fault.
Despite her words, Shi Su seed not to have heard her at all. When the evening ca, she took off the costu and removed her makeup, still bare-faced with no intention of putting on makeup, clearly disobeying the arrangent.
Cherry Yang entered the RV and saw Shi Su changing clothes and glanced at her face, imdiately expressing displeasure, "Shi Su, I think you should respect the advertisers. Putting on makeup is basic etiquette for a woman attending any social occasion. Don’t you understand?"
"The makeup during filming today was thick, and they did a scar simulation on my neck. I have a bit of an allergy, so applying anything on my face now easily causes rashes." Shi Su said while turning her head to show her neck.
Certainly, Cherry Yang saw a not-too-obvious redness at the scar simulation spot on her fair neck.
"Having an allergy from a scar simulation? Why bother being an actress if you’re that fragile?" Cherry Yang comnted sarcastically, looking at Shijiu who was helping Shi Su with her coat, "Speed up, don’t dawdle. Is Shi Su still only having you as her assistant?"
Shi Su and Shijiu both paused because of her words.
Shijiu disliked Cherry Yang but didn’t show much on her face, "Yes, Miss Yang."
Up until now, Shi Su refers to Cherry Yang as Miss Yang, while Shijiu calls her Miss Yang, maintaining a sense of distance that has never disappeared.
Cherry Yang scrutinized Shijiu for a while, "I think you are inexperienced and not suited to be an assistant for a top female star. Nowadays, it’s too easy to be an assistant for entertainers. You can casually get a manager’s certificate and intern here; a few years later, with good opportunities, you can instantly work as an assistant for small entertainers, climbing up steadily. But you seem too young. There are many artists at Yijia Entertainnt now. How about I switch you to another artist to follow? I will arrange two more experienced assistants for Shi Su."
Upon hearing this, Shijiu looked incredulous, "Miss Yang, I don’t..."
Shi Su pressed her hand on Shijiu’s and turned back, saying, "No need. Shijiu has been with for quite so ti. Didn’t we all start as newcors? Before working as an assistant, she at least had a manager’s certificate, proving she entered this circle through proper assessnt and using proper ans. Normally, she protects well; there’s no need for too many assistants. Having such a considerate one is enough."
Of course, Cherry Yang could hear the sarcasm in Shi Su’s words, implying that she rose through connections without any qualification exams, stepping into the entertainnt industry solely due to her relationship with Mr. Chen from Yijia Entertainnt.
A few days ago, Shi Su had been keeping a low profile. Although she wasn’t under her control, she clearly tolerated many things beneath the surface, at least not openly mocking.
Today, she seed covered in thorns, obviously trying to stir trouble.
"Moreover, as far as I know, although Miss Yang, you are now my manager, the company only assigned you the job coordination. The assistants and bodyguards around , including those from Jun’s forr studio, aren’t intended to be managed by the company. Since Miss Yang did not participate in studio matters, you don’t need to involve yourself in coordinating my staff." Shi Su spoke calmly, with a polite smile seemingly lingering on her face without revealing genuine emotions.
After speaking, Shi Su turned around to have Shijiu help with her hair, leaving them to busy themselves as if disregarding her.
Cherry Yang stood at the RV door, looked at the two, and said coldly, "Shi Su, though I’m a new manager for you, Cen Jun’s studio has been disbanded. The employees will return to Yijia Entertainnt to await reassignnt. Having only one assistant is insufficient, including the need to replace the bodyguards. These are re words from . When you say I can’t intervene, do you think I really can’t?"
Pausing here, Cherry Yang smirked coldly, "I say Shijiu should leave, and tomorrow she’ll be paid off and out the Yijia Entertainnt door. Do you believe ?"
"I believe." Shi Su didn’t even turn her head, continuing to let Shijiu fix hair accidentally tucked in her collar, calmly replying towards the direction behind her, "Why not ask Miss Yang to settle my film and endorsent fees, and drive out of Yijia Entertainnt as well?"
Cherry Yang paused and then laughed directly, "That would be difficult. Even if you can afford a 20 million breach penalty, the comrcials and contracts held by the company that you’ve recently endorsed aren’t easy to abandon. I could let you go, but the company might not be able to break the contract with you."
Shi Su said no more, her hair was done, she put on her coat, and intended to leave.
Watching Shi Su’s plain face, Cherry Yang felt displeased. Shi Su’s indifference and disrespect were clearly slapping her in the face.
The most baffling thing for Cherry Yang was that even like this, upon arriving at the appointed hotel, getting off the car, and walking into the hotel lobby, Shi Su’s face under the lights looked remarkably beautiful, naturally stunning without any embellishnt.
"Miss Shi Su, a pleasure, a pleasure." The product manager from the perfu company ca out of the reserved room to greet them, shaking Shi Su’s hand with a flattering smile. However, he didn’t let go and eagerly invited them in. While claiming to guide them inside, his hand subtly tried to touch Shi Su’s waist, making his intentions quite apparent despite the pretense.
Shi Su discreetly avoided the manager’s hand, feeling uncomfortable despite the thick clothing, maintaining appropriate distance as she walked into the room.
Several executives from the perfu company were already seated inside. Upon seeing them arrive, they promptly had the waiters open the wine.
Seeing the table full of alcohol, Shi Su knew that making arrangents with Wen Ke beforehand was indeed wise.
Originally, the cooperation with this perfu company was almost finalized. However, Cherry Yang interfered halfway, forcing Shi Su to personally handle social negotiations. Using New Year’s Day as an excuse, these people probably wouldn’t sign the endorsent contract unless they got drunk tonight.
