“We are already in the process of searching for the first male lead for the drama. However, you should also note that you will be sharing the same stage with Lin Kaiyan during the upcoming Golden Shadow Awards ceremony. It will certainly be a little awkward for you then and the media will definitely be up to no good. Therefore, you should take your own precautions and be careful on that day.”
After reading Hou Da’s text message, Jiang Yuning replied confidently, “Hou Da, don’t worry about me. Just focus on choosing a male lead with a good personality and character. I will definitely look after myself and prove that I am worthy of being in the entertainment industry!”
What was so scary about it? The only big deal was the fact that a famous and well-established actor looked down on her and felt that she was just a popular artiste who had not made any significant contributions or achieved anything in the entertainment industry.
What else could he do to hurt her?
Hou Da was very relieved. Initially, Hou Da was rather concerned and worried about Jiang Yuning. However, ever since Jiang Yuning resolved the matter involving the couple who played the first male and female lead in the game version of <Yan Huasu>, Hou Da knew that she could count on Jiang Yuning.
A few days later, Vera arrived at the filming location to visit the set and also to help Jiang Yuning to apply for leave from Director Mong.
As a matter of fact, Director Mong really disliked it when his actors and actresses applied for leave while they were filming in the past. However, he was more lenient when it came to Jiang Yuning and Xiao Chennan. Why was that?
This was because both Jiang Yuning and Xiao Chennan were so dedicated when it came to work and there were no complaints about the performance they gave when filming their scenes. They were never once late to their sets and they would never leave the set early. They obeyed each and every arrangement made by the production team and they gave more than Director Mong could ever ask from them. Moreover, they always made sure to keep to their schedules and finish filming the scenes that they had to before they asked for some time off.
Therefore, Director Mong would always approve Jiang Yuning’s leave applications every time Vera asked for it.
This was also because Jiang Yuning would only leave for Luo City in the afternoon and she would already be back at the filming location early the next day so she could continue filming her scenes. She never caused any delay to the filming schedule at all.
“The popularity award is also an award. Do not feel discouraged. You will definitely receive better awards in future. Trust me.”
It seemed as though Director Mong really regarded Jiang Yuning as his own biological daughter.
Jiang Yuning smiled as soon as she heard Director Mong’s words. In fact, she was not in the least discouraged at all. She felt that she had already made a massive improvement in her career ever since she started all over again from late March till now. Of course, she knew that the future would definitely be better.
After she was done filming her scenes for the day, Jiang Yuning returned to her room with Vera.
At this time, Qing Yan suddenly came over to her room. “Sister Vera, it seems as though Brother Nan has came down with a high fever.”
Vera wanted to leave the room as soon as she heard Qing Yan’s words but at this time, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuning was here. Therefore, she turned around to look at Jiang Yuning.
Jiang Yuning waved her hand at Vera before she said, “Go, go, go…Go and care for him using all the wonderful ways that you can to cool him down.”
Vera was dumbstruck.
Jiang Yuning’s words carried such obvious hints that even Qing Yan blushed when he heard it. Therefore, he decided to create an opportunity for Vera and Xiao Chennan to spend some time together tonight.
When both of them arrived at the corridor leading to Xiao Chennan’s room, Qing Yan suddenly told Vera, “Sister-in-Law, I have to trouble you to look after Brother Nan tonight. I have to leave because I have to deal with some other matters on his behalf.”
“Alright then.” Vera was too worried about Xiao Chennan and she did not think too much about it. “Did he take any medicine yet?”
“No, he did not. Brother Nan has never liked taking any medicine. It is very difficult to get him to take any medicine.”
After listening to Qing Yan, Vera pushed the door open and hurried into Xiao Chennan’s bedroom.
Xiao Chennan was lying on his bed at this time and anyone could tell that he was not feeling well just by the sound of his heavy breathing.
“Why did you come here? I already told Qing Yan not to tell you anything,” Xiao Chennan said as he opened his eyes when he heard some movement in his bedroom. He sat up on his bed as soon as he saw Vera.
“Did you take any medication for your fever?”
Xiao Chennan did not respond to her question.
“Have you taken your temperature?” Vera asked once again.
Xiao Chennan did not respond again.
“How are you going to film your scenes tomorrow if you are going to behave like this?”
“I will be fine after I get some sleep,” Xiao Chennan replied weakly. “I have always been like this.”
“That was in the past. Do you really think that your girlfriend is a decorative item?”
