Chapter 128: Chapter 129: Mr. Gu Visits the Set

The filming resumed once again.
Shen Manbing always managed to create excuses to reshoot scenes.
The director had initially planned to take a break, but Shen Manbing still insisted on continuing the shoot.
Xia Yangyang, clad in a down jacket, had to chase after the moving vehicle for filming. The total distance she ran was probably over ten kilometers.
Her hair alternated between being wet and dry.
But Xia Yangyang persisted throughout.
Chen Yu recorded a brief video of Xia Yangyang’s shooting and sent it to Shen Shichuan, pleading for his help.
After watching it twice, Shen Shichuan forwarded the video directly to Gu Qichen.
At that time, Gu Qichen was attending a quarterly report meeting of Shengyuan Group.
All the high-level executives and shareholders were present.
Yet, Gu Qichen held his phone, repeatedly watching the same video.
He suddenly stood up and announced, “Let’s conclude here for today. Meeting adjourned.”
He then instructed his special assistant Fang Zhengdong to compile the meeting notes and reminded him, “Zhengdong, compile the meeting’s content and send it to my email.”
After saying that, Gu Qichen got up and left the meeting room.
This left the shareholders and executives looking at each other in confusion.
As the CEO, he was known to be a workaholic and had never left a meeting halfway, much less during a quarterly report meeting which was considered of utmost importance.
Fang Zhengdong was equally taken aback. He had been standing next to the CEO throughout the meeting.
He also saw what was on the CEO’s phone; it was just a video of a young girl running in a down jacket in the scorching heat, appearing as if she was about to faint from heatstroke.
Yet, when the CEO saw the video, his face suddenly darkened in a terrifying manner, revealing a clenched fist.
The CEO’s reaction was indeed baffling.
Approximately half an hour later, Gu Qichen arrived at A University.
At that moment, Su Xiaoman was shooting her 27th running scene.
Yangyang knew that Manbing was making things difficult, but if she openly challenged Manbing, it would only bring trouble to the entire crew.
The only solution now was to wait until Manbing had enough and decided to let her off the hook.
However, it was clear that Manbing had no intention of doing so.
When Gu Qichen arrived, he witnessed the entire scene.
Yangyang’s face was flushed, clearly indicating that she was feeling faint from the heat.
Gu Qichen walked directly towards the director.
“Cut!” The director called for a break once again.
“Take a short break. Manbing, come here.” The director called out.
Shen Manbing slowly emerged from her car, flicking her hair.
She remained as charming and stunning as ever.
By then, Yangyang was almost collapsing into the arms of her assistant.
Lu Yao, supporting Yangyang, said, “Yangyang, are you okay? If you can’t go on, let’s tell the director to stop today’s filming. If this continues, you’ll have to go to the hospital.”
Yangyang gulped down a bottle of ice water.
The only reason she allowed Shen Manbing to manipulate her was because Shen Manbing was only available for three days.
If Shen Manbing was upset, she could quit any time.
However, everyone was well aware of Shen Manbing’s commercial value.
‘Cinderella’ was the first modern fairy tale drama with mostly new and unknown actors selected from auditions.
Although they had Chen Yu to anchor the scene, the post-production market risk was still significant.
Shen Manbing’s participation was obviously a lifesaver for this drama.
Even just using her name for the initial hype would generate considerable attention and buzz.
Yangyang didn’t want to lose Shen Manbing just because of her.
“Look! Mr. Gu is here! Sister Bingbing just joined the crew today, and Mr. Gu is already visiting. The rumors must be true,” someone on the side exclaimed in surprise..
