Chapter 576 : He’s Here!! (16)
The investor had already visited them but at that time, Best Actor Shen had gone on leave and returned to Beijing.
Normally, when an investor wanted to pay a visit, it would take them at least five to six hours to get there.
Yet this time they had been much faster than usual and the director was caught off guard.
He was about to make his way to receive the guests when Mo Xicheng suddenly called out, “Director!”
The director turned around.
Mo Xicheng pointed at Shi Nianyao and persisted, “What about her?”
Since the director was in a hurry, he immediately glossed over the matter and said, “Let’s keep her here first then.”
After saying this, he turned around and strode away in a hurry.
Shi Nianyao jumped up in joy and excitedly grabbed Mo Xicheng’s arm, exclaiming, “I can stay!”
Mo Xicheng saw how excited she was and his eyes darkened.
He pursed his lips and clenched his jaw.
Shi Nianyao had a simple and uncomplicated personality, so perhaps she had not noticed that the director had only half-heartedly agreed. However, this had not escaped Mo Xicheng’s eyes.
Allowing her to stay was his way of appeasing Mo Xicheng for the moment. Eventually, he could pick on the tiniest reason as an excuse to let her go.
And he, as a supporting actor, had no say in anything.
Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down.
Suddenly, he gave a bitter laugh.
In the past, these things did not matter to him. But all of a sudden, he realized…
There were things that one had to fight for, no matter what.
If it were Shen Liangchuan dealing with this situation, wouldn’t it take no more than a few words from him to keep an extra on the cast?
Mo Xicheng’s expression turned resolute as he thought about this.
Just at this point, a worker exclaimed loudly, “The investors are here, so those of you who are available please come out to welcome them!”
Hence, everyone put down whatever it was they were doing with the intention of heading out.
Shi Nianyao could not help but marvel as she observed their attitude.
Fr*aking hell!
If she had been there in her capacity as an investor, wouldn’t she have received such treatment too?
That’s right. How much had her brother invested on this production exactly?
She made a mental note to ask him. They could increase their investment to gain benefits too.
Following Mo Xicheng, they decided to leave the venue temporarily.
They had not gone far, however, when they suddenly heard a rather loathsome voice say, “Why are you still here?”
Shi Nianyao turned around and saw Qiao Yiyi standing nearby. She was heading to the front door, her expression excited and full of anticipation.
Second Brother was here!
And he hadn’t taken long at all!
It gave Qiao Yiyi a great feeling of pride.
She had checked her makeup and was heading to the front door to welcome him, but she suddenly spotted that extra among the crowd.
Although her attention had been completely focused on Qiao Lian back then, Shi Nianyao was also very pretty and this was something that had not escaped Xiao Yiyi.
But… hadn’t her assistant asked these extras to leave?
Why was this girl still around?
And if she was around, did that mean that… Qiao Lian was still around too?
At this thought, she immediately looked around, heaving a sigh of relief only when she did not see any sign of Qiao Lian.
Then she turned to glare at Shi Nianyao. “Leave the set right now. Get out immediately, do you hear me?”
Shi Nianyao, on the other hand, heard it but chose to ignore Qiao Yiyi. She curled her lips and continued to walk forward.
However, Qiao Yiyi suddenly took a step forward and pointing a finger at Shi Nianyao. She demanded, “Where’s the stage supervisor? Take this person away!”
While it was true that she had gotten the cold treatment from the filming crew after Shen Liangchuan’s chiding, at this point everyone knew that it was because of her, Qiao Yiyi, that the investor had made such a hurried visit to their filming set.
Hence, there were plenty of people wishing to get into her good books. Immediately, they went looking for the stage supervisor and the security officer.
