Chapter 142: 142 is simply a great spectacle
Sun Ling nodded and walked up to the group with a hum, addressing Chen Beini and her assistant, “We still have some food over at our place, want to join us for a bit?”
Despite Sun Ling’s disliking for Chen Beini, she had seen the image of Chen Beini kneeling and repenting, and since Chen Beini had already paid a price for it, and the big shot had declared the matter settled, Sun Ling wouldn’t make things difficult for the woman any longer.
Chen Beini and her assistant were taken aback for a moment, looking at each other as if they had misheard.
“Wasn’t your food knocked over by someone?” Sun Ling added for clarification.
The surrounding crew was immediately puzzled, what was this all about?
Chen Beini and Shi Lan had been at loggerheads since the start of filming these couple of months, how come they were suddenly reconciling?
“Gonna join?” Sun Ling asked again with patience.
Chen Beini glanced at Gu Chengyu not far away, then stood up abruptly and said, “Sure.”
The two followed Sun Ling to Shi Lan’s side, and the four of them gathered around a small table to quickly start having lunch. Though the atmosphere was quiet, it wasn’t the slightest bit awkward, and what’s more, Chen Beini sat beside Shi Lan like a little wife, even more demure than when facing Gu Chengyu?
After a while, Chen Beini raised her head to seek Shi Lan’s opinion, “Can I… can I join you guys for meals in the future?”
The cool Boss Shi Lan responded indifferently, “Whatever.”
Are these two the actual couple here? So Gu Chengyu is out of the picture?
Director Tang was somewhat baffled by today’s youth, but Chen Beini and Shi Lan’s reconciliation was definitely a good thing for the production team.
Moreover, Director Tang was awed by the commanding presence that Shi Lan exuded, seemingly taking Chen Beini under her wing like a little chick. Most importantly, Chen Beini, a front-line artist, was willing to humbly shelter under Shi Lan’s wings, which was quite a spectacle.
Later, the staff member in charge of delivering drinks to Chen Beini and Gu Chengyu came to the set. This time, upon seeing Chen Beini and her assistant, he inquired, “This beverage…”
Chen Beini, with her head down playing with her phone, said, “Just toss it.”
From now on, she was also going to follow Shi Lan’s lead and treat trash as if it were air!
On Gu Chengyu’s side, he looked gloomy, puzzled as to why just overnight these two got together, and now the two women were ganging up on him, leaving him in an awkward spot on set.
The half-hour lunch break had everyone resting in their chairs, and that’s when Sun Ling saw Chen Beini’s assistant playing a game and asked, “You don’t take a break?”
“‘Demon Hundred Orders’ is currently recruiting game character designs and skins; the top prize is a million, so I figured, why not see if I’ve got that luck?”
Hearing the words ‘a million’, Sun Ling’s eyes widened, “Show me this? What game is so domineering with such a high prize?”
“This game has been hot for years now, and each competition is incredible. If you’re interested, should I send you the participation page? And the top three winners get to go onstage for the prize, not to mention separate negotiations for the rights. The most vital aspect is, female artists are also vying for this resource, because ‘Demon Hundred Orders’ is getting ready to invite its first real-life spokesperson.”
After thinking it over, Sun Ling realized she wasn’t adept at designing or drawing.
Nevertheless, she took the bait and downloaded the game to give it a shot.
In the afternoon shoot, Chen Beini and Shi Lan gradually developed a rapport, yet Gu Chengyu’s issues slowly became more noticeable. Thankfully, it didn’t affect the progress.
When the evening shoot wrapped up, Chen Beini naturally followed Shi Lan out, the two stepping one after another, leaving the set with a stride as if they were complete strangers to everyone else.
Neither of them paid any attention to Gu Chengyu, which left the crew members staring in amazement.
Before nightfall, Chen Beini’s team held a discussion and rejected the approach proposed by Shi Lan.
Because they didn’t want to gamble, they decided to stick with their original public relations tactics.
