Chapter 374: Chapter 375: Unoffendable Woman
The makeup room was dead silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was getting ready in their own space.
But all of their attention was practically on Shen Manbing and Xia Weiwei.
Shen Manbing was accustomed to being arrogant, her words were not surprising.
Although Xia Weiwei was indignant, she knew clearly that Shen Manbing was someone she couldn’t afford to provoke.
She was the lead actress.
Favored by the director and backed by Shen Shichuan’s influence, who would dare to oppose her?
Moreover, it was well-known that this film was tailor-made for her by her admirer Cui Chenghao, the global CEO.
Global was the film’s major investor and producer.
If she was provoked, let alone the eighth female character.
Even the male lead could be replaced at any time.
Although Xia Weiwei’s role was only the eighth female character, it was not easy to get.
Reluctantly, Xia Weiwei began to pack her things.
Just after she finished packing up a pile of makeup products.
Shen Manbing ordered directly, “You go buy me a cup of coffee, I want to drink a double mocha from Liane Bank.”
Xia Weiwei clenched her teeth.
Shen Manbing raised her eyebrow, “Unwilling?”
“No, it’s an honor to buy coffee for Sister Bingbing.”
Although Xia Weiwei felt like vomiting blood inside, she still kept a smile on her face.
She wasn’t sure if Shen Manbing was deliberately making things difficult, or just casually saying this.
After all, Shen Manbing often asked other crew members to go buy things.
This was something everyone would love to seize.
Thinking they could flatter Shen Manbing this way.
But in reality, Shen Manbing never appreciated it.
Xia Weiwei always thought these people were foolish, just like groveling lackeys.
But she didn’t expect that today, she was forced to do the same.
As Xia Weiwei was ready to leave, Shen Manbing added, “By the way, is there anything that you guys want to drink? It’s my treat, no need to be courteous.” All the people in the makeup room were surprised and flattered.
When did Shen Manbing ever act so kindly? Was a goddess planning to step out from her pedestal and celebrate with her people?
But a rare treat from the diva, of course no one was going to refuse.
“I want a cappuccino.”
“Weiwei, get me a Blue Mountain.”
“I want an Irish coffee. Thanks for the effort, Weiwei.”
There were more than ten people in the makeup room, each of them wanted a cup.
Xia Weiwei gritted her teeth in anger, what was happening here?
Were they treating her as a servant?
But seeing Shen Manbing’s aloof and cold attitude.
Xia Weiwei had no choice but to go and buy coffee.
Liane Bank was not far away.
But the location was terribly awkward.
A distance of 500 meters, was not convenient for taking a taxi, subway or even a bus.
Xia Weiwei could only walk there.
All twelve cups of coffee.
The waiter put it in a box for her.
Xia Weiwei said, “Could you send someone to help me carry these to the TV station?”
The waiter politely replied, “I’m sorry, our cafe does not offer delivery service.”
Xia Weiwei had no choice but to carry the whole box back to the TV station on her own.
When she returned to the makeup room, everyone had already started working.
Only Zeng Min, who didn’t have a part to play today, was there to watch the excitement.
Zeng Min, like Xia Weiwei, had managed to secure a role with no real significance thanks to some connections.
Zeng Min took a cup of coffee from Xia Weiwei, “Weiwei, I feel like Shen Manbing deliberately made things difficult for you. When does she ever drink store-bought coffee? She always drinks coffee that she brews herself.”
Xia Weiwei angrily slammed the coffee down on the table, causing a few cups to spill.
On her way, Xia Weiwei had already felt that something was not right.
It must be Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang was suppressing her along with Shen Manbing.
