Once the matter was resolved, it was already dusk.
Because it was too late, the originally scheduled filming had to be postponed to tomorrow, so Li Jing bid farewell to Wen Lan before leaving in his car.
Watching the Maserati disappear at the end of the road, Wen Lan stood for a mont before turning to instruct the staff around her, noticing Wang Huan who seed hesitant to speak.
"What’s wrong?" Wen Lan asked, seeing Wang Huan’s expression.
"Director Wen, this President Li is really sothing..."
Wang Huan hesitated for a mont but finally expressed his feelings, "He solved today’s issue with such ease; he must have so serious connections over there..."
"Yes, we underestimated President Li."
Wen Lan slightly nodded, "In the future, all of you should show more respect to President Li. Don’t underestimate him because he’s young, especially since you didn’t trust him earlier and went looking for soone else’s help..."
"I, I was just worried about the crew running into problems..."
Wang Huan’s expression shifted slightly, quickly defending himself as he continued, "But President Li really changed a lot of people’s minds in the crew this ti.
Previously, there were still so people in the group who were close to President Qian and Dai Weiwei, and now I bet they wouldn’t dare to speak up."
Hearing this, Wen Lan furrowed her brow slightly.
When Dai Weiwei was replaced earlier, there were dissenting voices in the crew, all having so ties to Dai Weiwei.
She even suspected that the enforcent officers arriving at exactly the last mont when she finished setting the scene was due to soone in the crew tipping them off.
Thinking of this, Wen Lan glanced at the crew and said lightly, "So people only dare to bully the weak and fear the strong. Now that President Li has shown so of his strength, it should quiet down so of the voices in the crew."
Wang Huan nodded, then noticed Yang Xiaoxiu not far away helping the staff move things, a look of envy and complexity appeared on his face:
"Xiaoxiu is lucky to be with President Li."
Wen Lan followed his gaze to look at the young, hardworking petite figure: "Xiaoxiu herself is quite excellent, opportunities favor those who are prepared.
eting President Li is indeed her luck, but I think President Li’s investnt in her won’t be a loss in the future."
Listening to this, Wang Huan seed thoughtful.
anwhile, Yang Xiaoxiu, helping the staff reset the scenery not far away, seed to sense Wen Lan’s gaze, brushed her hair aside, and glanced in that direction.
She happened to catch Wen Lan and Wang Huan turning away, her eyes moved slightly, pondering in her heart.
"Xiaoxiu, you’re the second female lead now, no need to do this hard work."
At this mont, an assistant from the art team quickly walked over and said, "Put it down, we will handle it later."
"It’s fine, it’s not heavy, and I have nothing else to do anyway."
Yang Xiaoxiu smiled, bent down, picked up a prop, and walked to the other side.
The art team assistant saw this, carrying things while walking beside Yang Xiaoxiu, praised, "You’re so easy-going, I wonder why so people still talk behind your back. I think it’s just jealousy that you beca the second female lead."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiu’s expression slightly changed, then she smiled, "Everyone has their thoughts, there will definitely be people who don’t like , and that’s normal."
"You have an open mind. Even though you’re young, your vision and temperant are far beyond theirs."
The art team assistant leaned closer, whispering, "Luckily President Li resolved the matter, or soone would’ve made a big deal out of it.
President Li is really impressive, you must hold on to his strong support. Honestly, finding a backer isn’t shaful, connections are a form of strength in themselves."
When Li Jing was ntioned, Yang Xiaoxiu’s eyes moved slightly, recalling his figure, her heart gently rippled, and she then resolutely nodded:
"Yes, President Li is my benefactor, I’ll be grateful to him for life."
...
anwhile.
In a private room at the Celestial Sea Huatian Hotel, Qian Xin, wearing tal-fra glasses, stood at the door warmly welcoming people in the hallway.
"Oh, Brother Bin, long ti no see, looking more impressive than ever."
"President Qian is the real handso one; wearing that suit, you’re truly a high-class catch."
Leading the group was Zhao Bin, the previously encountered chubby enforcent officer.
At this mont, Zhao Bin had already changed out of his uniform, wearing a jacket and sweater, yet his rounded belly remained noticeable.
"Brother Bin, you’re joking; what’s a high-class catch compared to your eyes? In your eyes, we’re all just ordinary folks, we all listen to you!"
Qian Xin extended his hand to invite everyone into the private room, his face full of enthusiastic smiles.
"You shouldn’t say that; we’re servants of the people in Celestial Sea City, we should be listening to you!"
"Exactly, Brother Bin, always being so insightful, I should learn better, right guys, hahaha!"
Amidst a few jokes, smiles filled the room and the atmosphere was lively and noisy.
Qian Xin and Zhao Bin were already old acquaintance, and Qian Xin was also quite familiar with the other team mbers.
"Hello, Brother Bin."
Just as Zhao Bin led the group into the lavishly decorated private room, a clear and gentle voice echoed from the side.
He turned perplexed, seeing a pretty young lady, stylishly dressed, standing behind Qian Xin, a hint of amazent crossed his eyes, then seeming to guess sothing, he said to Qian Xin: "Is she...your new girlfriend?"
"Yes, her na’s Dai Weiwei, she’s a budding actress."
Qian Xin signaled towards her, saying, "Weiwei, quickly pour tea for the leaders."
Watching Dai Weiwei’s tall and slender figure, Zhao Bin sat in the main seat with a tinge of envy: "President Qian is truly charming, finding such a young girlfriend, she must be a lot younger than you?"
"Just eight years younger, she’s twenty-four. In our circle, what’s such a small age gap."
Qian Xin noticed Zhao Bin’s change in expression, deliberately teased, "Brother Bin, if you’re interested, Weiwei has a single close friend, maybe you could..."
"Don’t say such things, if my wife hears it, she’d skin alive."
Before finishing, Zhao Bin waved his hand repeatedly, yet his gaze remained fixed on Dai Weiwei.
Seeing this, Qian Xin’s eyes twinkled, he leaned in closer and whispered, "I’ll introduce her privately, so your wife wouldn’t even know."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bin couldn’t suppress the corners of his mouth, was about to push off again when his phone started ringing.
"Who likes calling at alti?"
The ringing broke the atmosphere, Zhao Bin’s chubby face furrowed, checking the phone with a slight startle, quickly motioned everyone to be quiet.
Qian Xin seeing this, questioned softly, "Brother Bin, is it..."
"It’s my direct superior’s call, everyone be quiet!"
Hearing Zhao Bin’s words, everyone’s expressions changed.
Especially Zhao Bin’s colleagues, their smiles imdiately vanished, tense with nerves, turned to see Zhao Bin answering the call.
