Chapter 234: Don’t Be Willful
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The director was extremely fearful that Tang Xiaoxiao would ruin the entire film crew.
In a hurry, the director said, “Xiaoxiao, please don’t be so willful, okay? If we delay the progress, we won’t be able to explain it to Boss Niu. Do you want Boss Niu to be dissatisfied?”
Now they could only rely on Boss Niu’s name to settle the matter.
Tang Xiaoxiao felt a bit guilty but still arrogantly stated, “Either she steps in as my stunt double, or we don’t shoot. If you insist on shooting, I have conditions.”
The director didn’t know what Tang Xiaoxiao was up to but could only nod in agreement.
The director said, “Alright, speak. I’ll try my best to meet your conditions.”
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at Jiang Ling’er and impolitely pointed at her.
Tang Xiaoxiao said, “I want her to leave the film crew. We don’t need freeloaders.”
The director’s mouth twitched, feeling extremely awkward.
The director said, “Xiaoxiao, Little Jiang is just helping out here, she’s not officially part of our crew.”
Tang Xiaoxiao found fault and said, “What? Not part of the crew? Then why did you let her in? Aren’t you afraid she’ll leak the plot?”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t want to put the director in a difficult position. She said, “Director, to avoid causing trouble for you, 1’11 take my leave.”
The director panicked and immediately said, “Little Jiang, don’t misunderstand. 1 didn’t mean for you to leave.”
Tang Xiaoxiao arrogantly said, “If you don’t let her leave, Director, does that mean we’re not filming anymore today?”
The director was in a tough spot. The sponsor, Boss Niu, was someone he couldn’t afford to offend. Yet, the young lady from the Jiang family was equally formidable, especially now that Jiang Ling’er was also the spokesperson for the Chen Group.
Hearing Tang Xiaoxiao’s words, Jiang Ling’er understood that Tang Xiaoxiao was intentionally making things difficult for the director.
Jiang Ling’er said, “Director, I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry; I’m not that kind of person.”
The director was stunned and then apologetically said, “Little Jiang, I’m really sorry for today.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “It’s all for the sake of filming; no need to be so polite.”
The director nodded helplessly and pondered for a moment.
The director said, “Alright, Little Jiang. Please send my regards to CEO Chen.”
Jiang Ling’er felt a bit awkward because she wasn’t very familiar with CEO Chen. However, she nodded anyway.
Seeing Jiang Ling’er nod, Li Yu felt displeased. Was Ling’er quite close to CEO Chen?
Jiang Ling’er also sensed Li Yu’s displeasure and couldn’t help but feel helpless.
Although Jiang Ling’er was leaving on her own accord, the director was very guilty.
“Little Jiang,” the director said, “I’ll treat you to a proper meal when I’m free as an apology.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Director, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Subsequently, Jiang Ling’er looked at Li Dalong and said, “Mr. Li, I’m sorry; 1 can’t learn from you today.”
“Little Jiang, I should be the one apologizing. 1 made you come here for nothing,” said Li Dalong with a smile.
Tang Xiaoxiao was puzzled when she saw the director being so polite to Jiang Ling’er. She was just an assistant to an action director. Did he really have to be so polite? He even said that he would treat her to a meal. That seemed a little exaggerated.
Just when Tang Xiaoxiao was feeling perplexed, the assistant director suddenly said, “Boss Niu, welcome! You’ve personally come here to inspect!”
Hearing this, everyone looked over.
Tang Xiaoxiao stood up directly and walked over, saying coquettishiy, “Godfather, you’ve come.”
Boss Niu didn’t give Tang Xiaoxiao a good expression. He said, “Why? Don’t welcome me?”
Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned. Last night, he held and caressed her, kissed her, and even called her baby. What was with this sudden change of attitude?
“Godfather, I’m focusing on my filming. They ganged up on me, so 1 threatened them with a strike,” Tang Xiaoxiao said unhappily.
Boss Niu said calmly, “Xiaoxiao, you need to perform well here. 1 invested in this so you could make me loads of money. 1 didn’t give you the role so you could play diva. If you don’t want to act anymore, I can get the director to find someone else to replace your role.”
“Godfather, don’t be angry. I’m just angry that they’re targeting me.” Tang Xiaoxiao said immediately.
Boss Niu glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao and said, “You should listen to the director when you’re on set. Don’t be so shameless. My money didn’t drop from the skies. This film has been delayed for a long time because of you. If you continue to be so shameless, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson.”
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded, feeling wronged. This old guy wasn’t easy to deal with.
Boss Niu didn’t continue talking to Tang Xiaoxiao and looked at the director.
Boss Niu said, “Director, 1 didn’t expect Xiaoxiao to be so willful. She just wants to play diva. I’m sorry for causing you trouble. Please don’t hold it against a child like her..”
