"Why is that? Wasn’t the agreement that whatever I want, you’d give me? Now, I want to be the costume designer for this drama."
This drama is a big production with a huge budget, which of course also requires well-known brands for the costumes. Having one’s own designs made by a famous brand is a dream come true for any designer.
With such a great opportunity, how could Ling Yun willingly give it to someone else?
"You? I’d also like to give it to you, but the issue is this drama is invested in by J.C. They specifically requested Ye Ranran to oversee it. I’m telling you, you can mess with anyone but not Ye Ranran, or even I won’t be able to protect you."
Ling Chao shook his head: "I don’t know, just don’t mess with Ye Ranran."
As for Ye Ranran’s background, Ling Chao couldn’t really make it out, only knowing that she had powerful backing and was a required hire from higher ups.
Ling Yun didn’t take this to heart. If she had such strong backing, why would she be so low-profile? And what’s even more, Ling Yun had just insulted her, and she hadn’t even retorted.
Seeing Ling Yun rush out furiously, then coming back in the same manner, everyone knew she didn’t succeed.
Suddenly, their gazes towards Ye Ranran changed, filled with a touch of curiosity and doubt.
Suddenly, her QQ avatar moved. Opening it, she saw that Luo Qi was chatting with her privately.
’Ranran, don’t mind them. They’re just jealous of you.’
Looking at the message, Ye Ranran smiled. She typed back a line, ’Hmm hmm, don’t worry, I won’t admit to things I didn’t do.’
’But I’m envious of you. I remember you drew a design for each style, right? Next time, I’ll follow your lead.’
Ye Ranran chuckled but didn’t reply, and started checking the latest updates about the drama she was about to take on from the company’s website.
Just as she was catching up, the assistant came over, saying the director wanted her.
Ye Ranran followed her to the director’s office.
"Director." Ye Ranran stood uprightly.
Her modest posture won Ling Chao’s approval: "Ranran, right? Don’t be so formal. Please, take a seat."
The other’s enthusiasm startled Ye Ranran, making her slightly nervous as she sat down. "May I ask why the director wanted to see me today?"
"The new drama is about to start shooting, you know that you’ve been set as the costume designer, right? Let me now tell you about the drama..."
Ling Chao prattled on about how much money was invested, how good the plot was, and how heart-wrenching it is.
Completely off-topic.
"Based on this, the costumes are divided into two categories, the former is fresh style, the latter is office style. You can discuss the specifics with the actors and the director when they arrive."
Being a costume designer is inconvenient in such ways as having to communicate not only with the director but also keep the actors and even the producers satisfied.
"I see. By the way, could I take a look at the full script?"
"Of course." Ling Chao handed her the script from his hand.
Although she could decide after the actors come, Ye Ranran still wanted to draw up some designs in advance to offer them some choices.
Having choices is always better than making blind guesses.
"By the way, if you’re unable to handle everything by yourself, consider getting an assistant." Ling Chao suddenly mentioned as Ye Ranran was about to leave.
"Really?" Ye Ranran is surprised.
Ye Ranran thought for a while: "Then could I invite a young girl from my department to assist? I’ll be busy drawing up designs in the near future and might not be able to handle other matters in time. She could help me."
"Sure, no problem. Just send her name to my assistant later." Ling Chao agreed without even asking further questions.
