Ling Yuqing had at least some sense. After what had happened earlier in the day, she had smartly stayed in the lounge reading the scripts and didn’t get in the way of Ling Tianya.
The whole crew was still tied up in the frantic filming schedule. The director, Zhang Heng’s, mood had been down the whole day. The male lead, Gu Zhiqian, didn’t have many days of proper filming with the cast before he was forced to take leave from filming in order to settle a sudden issue with one of the products that he was a spokesperson for.
The whole issue had just exploded suddenly, and it was just the day before that everyone was at Gu Zhiqian’s gathering. Suddenly their male lead had to take leave. The people that were out of the loop might even have thought they were being pranked.
Right then, in Ruan Zeyan’s office, Du Gang was reporting the news he had just received.
“Boss, Hongkong’s side has reported back to us. The issue will not be resolved that quickly, so Mr. Gu will be stuck there for some time.”
“Okay.” Ruan Zeyan’s eyes never left the computer, taking control of the situation as he listened to Du Gang’s reports.
“It’s just… Hunting Allure’s side… after all, their male lead has left to settle another issue only after a few days of filming. It’s going to trouble the producer and director.”
Ruan Zeyan raised his gaze, staring at Du Gang, and startling him.
Was he annoyed?
“Such a small issue, can’t you handle it on your own?”
“Got it boss!” Du Gang immediately nodded. If his boss asked him to settle it on his own, it just meant to continue throwing money at the project.
Du Gang found himself unable to understand Ruan Zeyan more and more, wasn’t he good friends with Gu Zhiqian? Why did he suddenly create trouble for Gu Zhiqian like that? He’d sent him all the way to Hong Kong, trapping him there for some time.
At the film site, without their male lead, the drama couldn’t be completed. The actors that had scenes with the male lead couldn’t end work either, and there were so many staff and actors on the entire set. The actors still had their own schedules and work to rush to. Once the time was up, they would have to leave the cast. If they didn’t let them go, they would have to bear the liquidated damages. With the many actors in the cast, it was definitely not a small amount.
What was he playing at? Even the sum was just pocket change to his boss, he had never seen someone so ready to let go of their fortune!
“Anything else?” Ruan Zeyan pressed.
“Yes, the anniversary dinner is near and the public relations department has already put together a guest list. They would like me to ask you if there’s anyone you would like to specially invite?”
The public relations usually had a fixed guest list for every year, but every so often there would be a few special guests coming.
“Get them to give me an invite directly.”
“Okay, understood.” Since he had already said so, it meant that he had someone that he would like to personally invite. He definitely didn’t have the guts to ask who the person was though.
The busy period had finally come to an end. With the male lead’s absence, the pace of filming seemed to slacken just a bit. It was enough for Ling Tianya to catch her breath.
The day was a rare day for Ling Tianya, she could actually leave earlier than usual. Standing at the door to the filming set, she waited for Zhang Ke to drive the car over, and she saw Ling Yuqing walking over with a whole stack of her scripts.
“Wow, hardworking aren’t you? Planning to take them home to continue reading?” Ling Tianya smiled as she asked.
If not for the many people around them, Ling Yuqing would definitely have flipped, but she could only smile, Her face was pale. “Yes, I have to learn diligently!”
Seeing how perfunctory Ling Yuqing was, it boosted Ling Tianya’s mood. She didn’t have more time to waste with her, so she let Ling Yuqing go off first.
She looked at the time, it had already been fifteen minutes, what was taking Zhang Ke so long?
Right then, a Bugatti sped up, and steadily stopped right in front of Ling Tianya. It drummed up a slight sandy breeze.
