Nie Zhen'er furrowed her brows, "Maybe because I didn't perform well enough, this morning some unpleasantness happened between the second female lead and me. But it’s fine now, Mr. Luan has already brought her to apologize to me and it probably won’t be a problem in the future."
Luan Qing Xiao said, "My cousin didn't tell me about... … leave this matter to me. When you’re in the crew, just focus on acting. Don't worry, I will help you resolve this."
At four thirty, Luan Fei Yun appeared at the door of the private room on time. He knocked on the door before heading in and realizing that Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er had already finished their meal.
After he said hello, he exclaimed in surprise: "Why did you guys come so early? Didn't we agree on half past four?"
Luan Qing Xiao replied, "How could I let Zhen'er wait for me?"
Nie Zhen'er followed, "I also think so."
When they finished speaking, the two smiled at each other.
Luan Fei Yun: "... …" Did he specifically come here to eat dog food?
"Haha, you guys have such a tacit understanding." Luan Fei Yun sat across from the two and quickly found a topic, "I still don't know how Qing Xiao and Zhen'er met."
When Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er were filming [Goodbye for Thirty Days], Luan Fei Yun was studying abroad. By the time he returned, the popularity of the show had subsided. Plus, Luan Qing Xiao also went abroad. The two had no chance to meet, so naturally he never heard of it.
"Five years ago, we participated in a reality show together and met there." Nie Zhen'er glanced at Luan Qing Xiao and smiled.
Luan Fei Yun’s interest peaked, "Five years ago? Weren’t you guys fourteen and fifteen years old then?" Sure enough, adolescent love was the most unforgettable. It turns out that the two already knew each other, no wonder Luan Qing Xiao would say Nie Zhen'er is her future wifey.
Watching his workaholic cousin, who had always been composed and indifferent, smile softly at Nie Zhen'er with overflowing affection in her eyes, he lamented that the power of love could really change a person.
Luan Fei Yun wanted to watch the show that the two met on, "What's the name of that show? I’ll definitely watch it when I go back."
"The name is [Goodbye for Thirty Days], Wen Mu and Mu Si were also there."
"Wen Mu? The heir to Wen's Estate? I heard he’ll be back from abroad next month."
Luan Qing Xiao whispered in her heart: As expected of the male lead, he just never goes away.
Nie Zhen'er pulled Luan Qing Xiao's hand, "Qing Xiao, is Mu Si still in school?"
She liked this cute little sister.
"Mu Si wants to get into a film academy and is currently preparing for that. She’s been sharing what she has learned in her WeChat moments every day and seems pretty serious."
"In the future, you’ll be her senior."
Nie Zhen'er said, "Then I have to focus on acting better. When she enters the circle, I can protect her a little."
"Forget it! Mu Si's aunt is an elite manager, who even I have to show respect to. This lass won at the starting line. However Zhen'er, your starting point isn't any worse than Mu Si's starting point, behind you is the CEO of Hong Ye Group, my cousin Luan Qing Xiao. All the movies and TV series invested by Hong Ye Film Company will definitely prioritize you in the future."
"Cousin, Zhen'er and I are going to watch a movie. Tomorrow I have something to discuss with you, I’ll call you in the evening for the specifics."
Luan Qing Xiao grabbed Nie Zhen'er's hand and stood up. The two walked out of the private room one after another.
Luan Fei Yun who was suddenly abandoned: "... …" Did he say something wrong? No, right!
Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er watched a romance movie and went to the mall afterwards.
Because Nie Zhen'er's face was too eye-catching, many people pointed at her, wondering if she was a celebrity.
There was even a courageous person that ran over to ask for an autograph without knowing who she was.
Nie Zhen'er glanced at Luan Qing Xiao on the side, "Do I really just sign it?"
Luan Qing Xiao smiled, "Go ahead."
After speaking, she turned to the boy who wanted the autograph, "You had good eyes, this elder sister will soon become popular. By then, it won't be easy to get an autograph."
The boy froze, "Why won’t it be easy?"
"Because there’ll be too many people who want the autograph that the line will stretch from the south of the city to the north of the city."
The boy sighed, "Then I hit the jackpot! Thank you Elder Sister Zhen'er, I’ll make sure to watch for you on TV!"
Once the boy left, Nie Zhen'er blushed and gently pushed Luan Qing Xiao's arm, "It’s not that exaggerated like you said ah. What if he can't see me on TV, he’ll think I like to talk big."
Luan Qing Xiao said seriously, "What big talk? Relax, since I, the Golden Hands, predict it, Nie Zhen'er will definitely be a big hit this year. Don't you trust me, just rest assured."
Nie Zhen'er: "... …" Although, she really believed it!
Because it was getting late and Nie Zhen'er had filming to do tomorrow morning so she needs to get up early and can't sleep too late at night, Luan Qing Xiao drove Nie Zhen'er back to the apartment she is now renting.
"Not inviting me in for a cup of tea?" Luan Qing Xiao opened the car door to Nie Zhen'er.
Nie Zhen'er blinked her clear almond eyes, "I live with my manager. Your face is too recognizable, what if my manager recognizes you? It’ll be extremely troublesome."
"Why will it be troublesome? Could it be that the company you signed with is milking you for all your worth and your manager is treating you badly?" Luan Qing Xiao's expression changed.
Nie Zhen'er hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, my company is very serious about nurturing me and my manager is very good to me. What I mean is your status is too high, what if the company forces me to take advantage of the opportunity to spread romantic scandals with you? It will definitely cause you trouble."
"Romantic scandals?" Luan Qing Xiao repeated and suddenly smiled, "I couldn’t ask for more."
Nie Zhen'er's fair cheeks immediately flushed, "In short, this isn’t good. I have to rely on my own abilities to become a capable actor."
"Alright, once your movie becomes a hit after its release, remember to ask your manager to assign you a better house to, live alone." The last two words, Luan Qing Xiao especially accented.
Nie Zhen'er couldn't help covering her cheeks with her hands, "I understand. I'm heading up, bye-bye."
Luan Qing Xiao smiled as she watched Nie Zhen'er run into the apartment. She only entered the car and drove home when she couldn't see Nie Zhen'er.
After returning home, Luan Qing Xiao turned on the computer and read the report files sent by Special Assistant Liu in her mailbox as well as approving those she agreed to. By then, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
She picked up the phone and called Luan Fei Yun.
"Hey, Cousin."
"Qing Xiao, Cousin has been waiting for your call, I thought you had forgotten haha."
"How can I forget? Cousin, nine o'clock tomorrow morning, free up some time, I’ll head over to Hong Ye Film to find you."
"Okay, no problem! I'll call my assistant right now to free up my schedule."
Early the next morning, Luan Qing Xiao texted good morning to Nie Zhen'er. Nie Zhen'er probably had already started filming, so she never responded.
To begin her day, Luan Qing Xiao went to the company for a meeting. After the meeting at 8:30, she said to Secretary Liu, "I need to make a trip to Hong Ye Film, you don't need to follow."
"Okay, President Luan."
Not surprisingly, when Secretary Liu opened WeChat, the number of texts in the company's small group chat exceeded ninety-nine.
FeiFei: @Special Assistant Liu Yun Liu! Why didn't President Luan bring you along! Is President Luan actually dating? Wu wu wu, from now on, the Emperor won’t attend his early court!
LiuYun: Don't talk nonsense, President Luan is out for business.
LittleBear: Alert, alert! According to inside sources! President Luan is appearing at Hong Ye Film! ! !
WeiWei: [Holding glasses frame.jpg] As far as I know, although Hong Ye Film is a company under Hong Ye Group, it has been handed over by President Luan to her cousin for operation. President Luan has no reason to stop by Hong Ye Film to handle business.
Bell: I heard that Hong Ye Film has signed a new batch of artists, all handsome men and pretty women. Our President Luan must have been seduced by one of those artists!
FeiFei: Waa– –I'm going to cry, give me back my husband, ying ying ying! I hate this face-judging world!
LiuYun: @FeiFei You’re a woman and President Luan is also a woman, don't call her husband.
FeiFei: I don't care! President Luan’s has an explosive domineering aura, which men like you can’t compare to at all. I’m gonna keep calling President Luan, husband!
LiuYun:...
-----
When Luan Qing Xiao drove to Hong Ye Film, she headed directly to the top floor to find Luan Fei Yun and never even passed by the handsome men and women they had recently contracted.
Knocking on the door and then entering the general manager's office. Luan Fei Yun stood up to greet her, "Qing Xiao, when you walk in, my place simply brightens. I don't know what brings you here to me today?"
"I want to discuss with Cousin about what happened on the 《Starry Sky and Heart》 set yesterday morning."
Luan Fei Yun: "... …"
