Qi Ming, who had been entrenched in a world of fear since learning of today’s filming schedule, had only just regained his composure not long ago. He hadn’t paid attention to the interactions between Wen Qiao and Lin Luang during the shoot, and when he went back to his room to shower just now, he browsed Weibo and saw that netizens had already edited videos of them interacting.
After watching the video, he felt a chill rush up to his crown.
Such interaction, this intimacy, how could this be okay?
He opened Fu Jinghen’s WeChat several tis, but he didn’t dare to send a single ssage.
His role as an informant was a complete failure.
Now, hearing Director Li say this, he began to snap out of his shocked, eggplant-like state, "What do you an?"
Ning Li, sitting next to him, was puzzled by his abrupt question, "What do you an by ’what do you an’?"
"Sothing Director Li just said." Qi Ming tilted his chin up, "About taking extra care of the new guest."
"Yeah, that’s right." The assistant director figured that Director Li definitely wouldn’t explain much since he’s never been one to say anything nice. He explained on his behalf: "Lin’s college professor is sowhat acquainted with Director Li. After Lin signed up for the show, the professor, feeling uneasy, asked Director Li to look out for her."
Upon hearing this, Lin Luang slowly blinked, his tone infused with a trace of uncertainty, "Is that... really the case?"
Before he had ti to think more about it, soone gently patted his arm.
"Don’t overthink it." Wen Qiao tily intercepted his train of thought, glancing over the nu while whispering in a volu only the two of them could hear, "When this variety show first started airing, netizens spontaneously started shipping with Qi Ming, and the show’s production team would use this from ti to ti to drive up the show’s popularity. It’s like a new couple in love, very passionate at first. But as ti goes by, the passion fades, and there needs to be new sparks to arouse desire."
As she said this, she looked towards Lin Luang, waving her finger between herself and him, "So, you and I are that new spark. Taking care of you is just by the way, understand?"
It wasn’t really necessary to explain all this; everyone more or less knew what was going on. Making it explicit sowhat put people in an awkward position. However, Lin Luang was too naive and wasn’t good at concealing his emotions. After hearing the assistant director’s explanation, he started feeling guilty, thinking his presence was a bother to everyone.
Wen Qiao’s kindness wasn’t overflowing, but she didn’t want to see Lin Luang feeling guilty either.
"Taking care of you, and using the opportunity to hype up our on-screen couple persona, will bring even greater benefits to the production team."
The benefits from filming a variety show ca fastest and were plentiful. Director Li wasn’t soone sentintal; profit was his principle, and he had never hidden this fact. But what was rare was that whenever the show needed them to provide heat, he would be upfront with them, never secretly scheming to increase the show’s heat, and he always had a good handle on the limits.
So, this was also why Wen Qiao and the other regulars were "sold out by Director Li but still helping him count the money."
Moreover, Wen Qiao felt that in this respect, she and Director Li were quite similar. She might not go to any lengths to achieve her goals, but she would exert her utmost effort.
After hearing Wen Qiao’s expanded explanation, Lin Luang’s guilt noticeably dissipated, and looking at Wen Qiao, he said earnestly, "But I can feel that you are genuinely taking care of ."
