Shen Congling raised an eyebrow mischievously at her, "I used my silver tongue to convince my brother. He’s worried about me entering the entertainment industry because it’s complicated, but I’m just being a small assistant. And besides, following you, Sister Tongtong, you’ll definitely protect me, won’t you?"
She respectfully extended her hands, quickly getting into character, "Sister Tongtong, let me carry your bag for you!"
Ji Niandong helplessly handed the bag to Lazy Cat, "I’ll leave Lingling to your care. Since she wants to be an assistant, you should train her well!"
"Okay!" Lazy Cat was initially worried because this girl had a close relationship with Ji Niandong and he had to take care of her, but hearing Ji Niandong say this, he felt much relieved and immediately directed, "Take the clothes out of the car and send them to the dressing room. Sister Tongtong will wear them for the scene later!"
"Sure thing!" Shen Congling immediately followed the instructions, albeit a bit awkwardly.
This bar scene was where Xiao He tricked Shen Xiaole into thinking he was being detained at the bar by debt collectors, prompting her to come rescue him. Only after arriving did she realize Xiao He had tricked her here to sell her to another man. Meanwhile, Shen Xiaole saw her sister being led into a private room by a man at the bar, and that man was none other than the famous director Yu Tong!
So even though it was just her and Shen Congjun acting along with the extras, today, Lin Ji Yang and Qiao Anlu would also be at this set.
As Ji Niandong entered the dressing room, she saw Qiao Anlu already there getting her makeup done. She was sitting with her eyes closed, leaning against the chair while the makeup artist worked on her face.
She actually arrived before her. Ji Niandong approached to greet her warmly, "Lulu, good afternoon!"
She had said she preferred to be addressed this way!
Qiao Anlu opened her eyes to glance at her and then closed them again, "It’s you! Hi!"
Seeing that she seemed not to have rested well, Ji Niandong didn’t bother her further. Lazy Cat whispered a reminder, "Sister Lu’s schedule is packed every day. She probably hasn’t slept more than two hours before being dragged to shoot again. She sleeps during makeup, so don’t disturb her!"
Ji Niandong nodded, casually remarked, "You really do know her well!"
Lazy Cat, unsure of her meaning, quickly said, "After all, I’ve worked with Sister Lu for two years!"
Feeling he was over-explaining, Ji Niandong hurriedly added, "I didn’t mean anything by it, just that you’re attentive. Don’t misunderstand!"
Only then did Lazy Cat feel assured enough to nod, "I’ll go get you dinner!"
He said, then turned back to ask Qiao Anlu’s assistant, Xiao Kui, "Has Sister Lu had dinner yet? Should I bring her some?"
"You know Sister Lu as well as anyone; she didn’t rest well and doesn’t eat dinners to diet. Just get it for Miss Ji, we’ll get it for Sister Lu if she wants!" Xiao Kui hinted with a reminder, her hands not stopping as she put on the little white shoes.
Lazy Cat nodded, knowing he shouldn’t be concerned with his former boss now. Just as he was about to leave, Qiao Anlu casually said, "Bring me one, the usual!"
Whether or not she did it on purpose wasn’t clear, but Lazy Cat looked at Ji Niandong awkwardly.
Xiao Kui, quick on the uptake, hurriedly said, "Sister Lu, you’re having dinner? I’ll go with Lazy Cat to buy it then!"
"Don’t you have anything to do? Are my shoelaces done?" Qiao Anlu’s voice was still tinged with fatigue.
Seeing the shoes that required for today’s filming were almost on, Xiao Kui quickly replied, "Almost done!"
"Then it’s not done! If Lazy Cat is going, let him bring it for me!" Her tone remained indifferent.
Seeing no reaction from Ji Niandong, Lazy Cat nodded, "Alright, I’ll bring you a portion!"
