Chapter 80: 79. “Heroes in Troubled Tis” starts filming Chapter 80: 79. “Heroes in Troubled Tis” starts filming Tang Shu wanted to refuse on a rational basis, yet her eyes were fixed on the fine wines and delicacies in front of her, and she hesitated.
The delicacies of this world were several grades higher than those in Damo.
So tempting.
Jing Yu seed to notice her hesitation and said,
“You are the special consultant hired by Cloudscape Pharma, and the processing of Exquisite Plant still needs your control, consider it a thank you gift.”
“Then I won’t hold back.”
Tang Shu was instantly persuaded, thinking to herself that maybe one day she could take him to eat grilled fish?
However, she did not realize at all that even a special consultant who didn’t have to work regular hours still needed to be paid.
Compared to the salary of a special consultant at Cloudscape Group, a few als were nothing.
“Speaking of Exquisite Plant, has the last batch been put into production yet?”
“Yes, this is the finished product.”
Jing Yu took out a dicine bottle from a file bag he was carrying and handed it over.
Although the traditional Chinese dicines of today are made from dicinal herbs, they are quite different from before. The difference can be seen in the final product, where the small chemical bottle held not soft pills, but slightly hard tablets.
Unless one unscrewed the cap and slled carefully, one could not tell whether it was Western dicine or traditional Chinese dicine.
Tang Shu cleaned her hands with a damp handkerchief, poured out one of the tablets, and carefully examined it, identifying three other components apart from Exquisite Plant.
“Is this for treating the heart?”
“Indeed, Exquisite Plant is a rare and valuable dicinal herb, most suitable for regulating the body.”
Jing Yu noticed that the soup bowl in front of her was empty, his slender fingers picked up the white spoon, and refilled her bowl to seven-tenths full.
Afterward, the two of them chatted about the new dicine, back and forth.
And once again, Tang Shu was amazed to discover that Jing Yu, the boss, had extensive knowledge of traditional Chinese dicine.
Much more so than Xie Yunzhen, who ca from a family of traditional Chinese dicine practitioners.
As the lanterns were lit at dusk, when the two left the entrance of Cloud Brocade Pavilion, Jing Yu handed over the file bag he was carrying.
“I used your mosquito repellent cream last ti I was in Yun Province, and it worked much better than the common ones found on the market. I’d like to cooperate with Miss Tang, what do you think?”
“How shall we cooperate?”
“You can take a look at the contract when you go back. If you have any questions, we can discuss them further?”
Tang Shu took the contract and found that it contained more than a dozen A4 pages. After thinking for a mont, she quickly agreed.
“Fine.”
She still had to support herself, right?

When she reappeared in the photo studio, Director Xie told Tang Shu that the costu photos from last week had been retouched and were ready.
This caused Tang Shu to doubt the dragging pace of the crew.
“After a while, the crew will post the costu photos on Weibo. Rember to reshare them when the ti cos.”
“Okay, Director Xie.”
Heroes in Troubled Tis began filming.
Generally speaking, the female assassin character had a quite high on-screen presence, but since this was a male-dominated drama, the female assassin often appeared rely as a background figure.
But…
On Tang Shu’s first scene, she astonished everyone, including Director Xie.
The reason was that her screen presence was really too strong.
“Director, sothing doesn’t look quite right?”
In front of the cara, the two assistant directors responsible for watching the footage were puzzled, but upon closely observing the screen again, they couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.
Best Actor Zhang was impeccable in terms of dialogue delivery and performance, and most of the cara’s focus was indeed on him, while Tang Shu only occupied a small corner.
