Tang Li suddenly felt puzzled, unsure why Yu Sui was here, and even with Feng Qi, they couldn’t possibly be relatives.
When she pushed open the wicket gate, Feng Qi had already hung up the phone.
Feng Qi turned around, seemingly wanting to remind Yu Sui of something. The corner of his eye caught Tang Li coming out, and he promptly told her: "The company found you a new assistant. Today’s her first day at work. She’ll follow you from now on. If you need anything, just instruct her to do it, and if there’s a problem, give me a call."
Tang Li glanced at Yu Sui standing aside: "Didn’t you say IMG Media only hires graduates?"
Feng Qi said: "She’s exactly a fresh graduate."
Saying this, Feng Qi seemed to think of something, pointed his phone at Yu Sui and continued to Tang Li: "It’s quite a coincidence, she’s from the same school as you. On our way here, I asked her. She’s still living at the Art College. It will be nice for you to have company when you finish filming and return to school."
"..." Tang Li forced a smile on her lips.
Yu Sui had already bowed to her, abandoning her usual haughty demeanor: "Nice to meet you, Miss Tang. I’m very pleased to become your assistant."
She then looked up, her face showing an uneasy smile.
It seemed like she was also afraid that I’d expose her.
Tang Li didn’t know how Yu Sui managed to bluff her way through the interview, but she obviously had a proof from the school, confirming she is a senior about to graduate.
Yu Guowen held a leadership position at the college; helping his niece secure proof for an internship wouldn’t have been hard.
Tang Li wasn’t too keen on having this new assistant.
After all, her relationship with Yu Sui wasn’t exactly harmonious.
Yu Sui was somewhat apprehensive at first, worried that Tang Li would reveal her true identity in front of her agent.
But all the way until they got in the car, Tang Li didn’t say a word about her.
Of course, she didn’t engage with her either.
Sitting in the nanny car, Yu Sui closed the door and proactively offered Tang Li a thermos cup: "Miss Tang, have some water."
Tang Li glanced at her, seeing Yu Sui this diligent for the first time, and received the thermos cup.
Qi Liang lived in a siheyuan courtyard within a certain Hutong alley.
The nanny car turned into the alley entrance, and Feng Qi asked the driver to stop: "Qi Liang detests actors acting high-and-mighty. Since it’s your first meeting and you want to land the role, it’s better to leave a good impression."
Tang Li nodded and followed Feng Qi out of the car.
Winding through the Hutong alleys, Feng Qi asked several people before finding the house number.
As he pushed open the courtyard gate, before even stepping across the threshold, he saw the scene in the courtyard. Qi Liang was sitting on a small stool, with three other people next to him discussing something. Qi Liang was holding a notebook, intermittently stopping to write.
Tang Li stood behind Feng Qi, looking at the two dark-skinned men in the courtyard. If she wasn’t mistaken, they were from Myanmar and Vietnam.
As for Qi Liang, he was a thin man in his fifties.
Something tangled around Tang Li’s left foot.
She looked down to find a little yellow dog circling her, wagging its tail eagerly.
It was probably around 4 months old, making soft whimpering sounds, its innocent eyes filled with a pure kind of anticipation.
Tang Li couldn’t help but bend down to pick it up, gently stroking its back, and the little yellow dog immediately settled down.
It was at this moment that Qi Liang looked over at her.
Someone with a bad temper surely wouldn’t have a pleasant face.
Tang Li was very adept at reading people’s expressions, so she promptly put the little yellow dog back on the ground.
Feng Qi had gone in: "Director Qi is still the same, wanting to learn everything himself before filming. If you keep this up, you’ll become a master known throughout the circle."
"Is there a matter you’ve come to me for?" Qi Liang clearly also recognized Feng Qi.
