Assistant Yu glanced at the speaker with a perfunctory smile and said, "Why aren’t you staying by Hua Tiantian’s side? Aren’t you afraid she’ll be upset?"
"Afraid of what? Our Tiantian has a great temper. It’s fine, nothing to do anyway—might as well chat for a bit."
The cheerful tone sparked a feeling of envy in Yu.
Originally, she had to constantly mind her words and actions around Huang Shan, and recently Huang Shan’s selfishness and pettiness had resulted in frequent targeting of Hua Tiantian. But Tiantian’s focus was entirely on acting and didn’t truly hold any grudge against Huang Shan. The more Yu thought about it, the more aningless everything seed.
"Why do you look so glum?"
"? Glum? I don’t think so."
During their short exchange, Hua Tiantian finished her scene and walked over. Seeing the two assistants chatting idly, she caught on quickly and gave them a playful wink.
The perceptive assistant returned a serene smile and said, "We’ll catch up another ti. I’ll head over now."
Assistant Yu’s gaze followed Tiantian as she seamlessly integrated with the artist she supported. Hua Tiantian’s considerate nature was plain to see—this alone was enough to make Yu wistful. Glancing back at Huang Shan’s stern face, she instinctively stood on guard.
"Sister Shan, we couldn’t trace anything beyond this point."
Yu handed over the gathered information, along with censored chat records sent to Huang Shan’s phone. After going through them, it was evident there was nothing conclusive. Frustrated, Huang Shan thought to herself—the harder it was to uncover sothing, the more suspicious it seed. After so consideration, she made a direct call to a moderately well-known paparazzo in the industry.
"This is Huang Shan. There’s sothing I’d like your help with."
Deep down, Huang Shan’s mind was far from calm and composed. She couldn’t seem to find peace within. Holding her phone, she walked away from the set to the makeup room, where she carefully explained the situation.
"You’re saying the person must be soone who knows ... Could you be more specific?" Huang Shan felt the other party’s words were sowhat vague. Staying alert to her surroundings, she added cautiously, "You don’t have to directly tell who it is—just tell how I can find that person."
Listening carefully, it seed he wasn’t inclined to answer directly. Huang Shan began to wonder—was this person soone influential and well-connected in the entertainnt industry? Otherwise, why couldn’t she manage to coax anything out of him?
Scrutinizing the man’s expression and weighing things seriously, she couldn’t help but think, "Since you’ve said as much, I won’t push you. I’ll figure it out myself."
She put down her phone, pacing in circles, staring at her feet while deep in thought.
"There are so many people who know ... I know a lot of people too... Who’s most likely to have a problem with ? Narrowing down the possibilities really isn’t easy."
anwhile, Hua Tiantian, glancing at her script, received a call from Lin Xiaoxiao. From the chirping and chattering on the other end of the line, Tiantian could tell there was more than one person present. Curiosity in her tone, she asked, "Sister Xiao Xiao, who’s the lovely lady singing beside you?"
"Lin Jiaojiao, quiet down! Honestly... She’s in good spirits today and accidentally drank a bit too much. Tiantian, I’m calling to remind you—don’t forget about this weekend’s dinner gathering. If you don’t co, I’ll absolutely hunt you down at your set!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t forget. I’ve already put it in my phone’s mo, ensuring it reminds about the gathering from early morning onward."
