Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qiu Yang exclaimed, “What? So fast? According to my understanding, if the Chen Group doesn’t sell out their limited edition pieces, they won’t release new ones. And now, you’re telling me to be on the lookout? That means new ones are coming out? Wow, I can’t believe every piece from the latest release has already been sold out!”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “I’m not sure about the details. I only know that two models are sold out, and the rest I’m not sure about.”
Qiu Yang affirmed, “They must have sold out; otherwise, Chen Group wouldn’t release new ones.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Well, 1 don’t know. If you don’t mind the trouble, keep an eye out. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
After hanging up, Li Yu, feeling a bit jealous, said, “You call him ‘Brother Yang,’ but you call me ‘Mr. Li.’”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless.
“What? Did I say something wrong?” Li Yu said somewhat resentfully.
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Are you implying that you want to be my brother?”
Li Yu’s face darkened, realizing he had fallen into a trap. Jiang Ling’er was quite mischievous.
Li Yu said, “I want to be your man, not your brother.”
Jiang Ling’er raised an eyebrow and said, “Then don’t be jealous.”
Li Yu smiled and said, “Okay, tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to Chen Group, alright?”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t refuse. She said, “If you have nothing else to do, you can accompany me. But, last time when Nuannuan went, they arranged for her to stay at the lounge and even provided lunch.”
Li Yu nodded and said, “I’m willing as long as you’re with me.”
Li Yu knew he would not be able to sit still in the lounge; he wanted to see how perfectly his beloved girl could present herself.
While Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu chatted, Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly approached, coquettishly saying, “What are you two talking about?”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Miss Tang, aren’t you taking a break?”
Tang Xiaoxiao paused, then said, “I’m almost done. You’re Little Jiang, right?”
Jiang Ling’er nodded.
Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly enthusiastically said, “My friend wants to shoot a web idol drama and needs a third female lead. We already had someone selected, but if you’re willing, 1 can help you. Being the third female lead is better than being an extra, don’t you think so?”
Jiang Ling’er tactfully said, “Thank you, Miss Tang, but I’m quite satisfied with my current job.”
Tang Xiaoxiao said, “Are you rejecting it because the third female lead position is too low?”
Her words carried a mocking tone.
Jiang Ling’er calmly said, “Miss Tang, you’re overthinking. I simply don’t want to take on new roles right now.”
Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Is that so? What do you think of my current role?”
Jiang Ling’er asked, “Why? Are you not satisfied with your performance?”
Tang Xiaoxiao humbly said, “Personally, I believe there’s still a lot of room for improvement.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Then keep working hard.”
Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something and, feeling relieved, said, “So, are you saying my acting is not good?”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Whether it’s good or not, I can’t decide. Let’s wait for the ratings in the future, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao felt somewhat better.
Tang Xiaoxiao said, “Also, how much did you pay for this bodyguard? I’ll pay double, and you let him work for me for a few days, okay?”
Jiang Ling’er’s face turned serious, emitting a dangerous aura. She said, “So it’s true then? Your godfather’s money really came dropping from the skies?”
Tang Xiaoxiao was a little shocked at Jiang Ling’er’s sudden change in attitude.
“What are you doing?” Tang Xiaoxiao said as she took a few steps back.
“Security! Where’s the security?” Tang Xiaoxiao’s assistant shouted.
A few security guards immediately surrounded them.
The director, who was originally discussing issues with the screenwriter, became displeased at the commotion.
“What now?” asked the director.
Tang Xiaoxiao’s assistant said, “Director, this assistant of Mr. Li is very arrogant. She is bullying Xiaoxiao even while Mr. Li is around.”
The director frowned and said, “Are you sure she bullied you? Did she scold or hit you?”
The assistant struggled to reply. “Uhh…”
The director looked at the assistant and said, “Nothing happened, and you called on so many security guards? Are you trying to file a complaint before anything even happens?”
Saying this, the director looked at Tang Xiaoxiao. The director sarcastically said, “Xiaoxiao, having an assistant like this can easily ruin your reputation with the public. Do you understand?”
Tang Xiaoxiao was furious. How could she have such a stupid teammate? If she had waited for that b*tch to make a move before calling for security, it would have been self-defense. Now, her stupidity had backfired..
