Otherwise, why didn’t Rong Yan suggest giving the next project directly to Gu Qing? Everyone’s a master at people-reading; it’s clear Bright Starry Sky doesn’t plan to cooperate with Gu Qing.
"Alright, I have to attend a meeting later, you can go now." If she didn’t have someone backing her, with the way she talked to me just now, the boss of Global wouldn’t have let Gu Qing off easily.
But since Gu Qing has someone backing her, I don’t want to offend her over trivial matters; I’ll swallow this grievance for now and deal with it later.
Yet I don’t want to see Gu Qing’s face again; seeing that face just reminds me of the humiliation I almost endured!
Gu Qing hurriedly left the office.
As soon as she stepped out, her assistant Chun Feng came up with a broad smile, gleefully informing her, "Qing, I’ve already released the news to the support club. Soon, your fans will spread the word about you securing the Lan Gan big cake, and after the buzz builds, we’ll buy a trending topic to shoot to the top."
Gu Qing’s face turned dark in an instant, as she shook her hand off and her high heels clicked loudly, "Who told you to do that? Quickly retract the news!"
The assistant was startled, unsure where to place his hands, "Qing, what’s wrong with you?"
Securing the big cake wasn’t a happy occasion, why was Qing still upset?
Gu Qing abruptly stopped, and he almost bumped into her.
Before regaining his balance, Gu Qing was staring at him again, "Who told you I secured Lan Gan? Bright Starry Sky just called to say they’ve changed people."
"Changed, changed people?"
His tongue was tied.
"Yes, I’ve been replaced. Did you inform the fans I’ve secured the resource to hit me in the face? Hurry and retract it."
The assistant was about to cry, "Qing, I’ve already told the fans, there’s no way to retract it now."
This isn’t a game where there’s a recall option.
Gu Qing didn’t hesitate, "Then prepare to take the fall. Later, admit it was your misunderstanding, that you instigated everything, understand?"
"Ah?"
Her fans were notorious in the fandom circle for passionately digging into private lives; the assistant couldn’t risk stirring trouble.
Gu Qing didn’t care about these things; to her, fans and assistants were merely tools to use when needed, and kick away when not.
In her eyes, having the assistant take the blame was his honor.
She scornfully scolded, "Stop looking so gloomy in front of me, bad luck. That’s how it’s decided. I’m going to make a call, you’d better resolve this today."
With that, she grabbed her phone and waltzed away...
Leaving her assistant stomping furiously on the spot.
...
Jiang Nuan had just finished taking a shower when she received a video call from someone, and as soon as she came out, she saw the bright screen of her phone flashing.
She glanced at the caller ID helplessly and picked up the video call.
"Director Fu, aren’t you busy? Could you please not call me at random times? Even though we have an agreement, I still need some personal space."
Fu Yi pletely ignored her plaints and asked in a charming voice, "How was your day?"
Jiang Nuan casually draped the dry towel over her wet hair, "It was alright."
"Did you encounter anything unpleasant?"
"What counts as unpleasant?" She thought for a moment, "There was a bit of a situation today, but I’m okay with it, no unhappiness, once it’s over, it’s over."
Gu Qing feigning ignorance and using her actions was disgusting indeed, but at the end of the day, aside from disgust, it doesn’t affect her much as she’s not in the entertainment industry. Whether Gu Qing gets the lead role or someone else does, it doesn’t really matter to her.
