The assistant was puzzled, but he dared not refuse and nodded.
Song Ci did not perform like a newcomer at all. Lu Jingming viewed her as a threat.
Meanwhile, Yang Haoran approached Song Ci with a shocked expression.
“What’s wrong?”
At this moment, Yang Haoran was positive that David had lied to him! The latter was trying to sow discord between them! David probably regretted Song Ci’s departure. Hence, he slandered her.!!
Yang Haoran had watched Song Ci’s performance before. It was indeed very awkward. Other than a pretty face, she had nothing else. However, things were clearly different now.
“Song Ci, did you get help from a professional before joining the new crew?”
Song Ci finally understood why Yang Haoran looked shocked. She had also watched the original Song Ci’s performance before. Thus, she replied casually, “Yes, I had some lessons.”
Yang Haoran felt that Song Ci was great! She took her job seriously and tried to improve! It seemed that Lu Gan was telling the truth. His wife was beautiful, talented, and had a pleasant personality! David’s skills as a manager were probably bad. Therefore, Song Ci was unable to shine.
At this moment, David felt like his ears were burning up.
‘Is Yang Haoran talking behind my back? Maybe I should give him a call once I’m free.’
Song Ci rested for a while. She watched Lu Jingming and Lin Ting acted out a few scenes.
Subsequently, it was time for a scene involving Song Ci and Ting.
However, Song Ci discovered a problem as soon as they started filming. Lin Ting did not even know her lines. Lu Jingming was like a pro in comparison to her. Moreover, Lin Ting could not express her emotions appropriately.
In the end, they had no choice but to shoot other scenes first.
Lin Ting still had a long way to go, so Song Ci took out her phone and was about to text Lu Gan.
Unexpectedly, Lu Gan had sent her a message first.
[ Lu Gan: Are you done with filming? ]
[ Song Ci: There’s still one more scene with the female lead. Then I’ll be done for the day. ]
Lu Gan looked at the night sky outside.
‘She still hasn’t wrapped up yet?’
[ Lu Gan: How did the crew treat you? ]
[ Song Ci: Pretty good. ]
Lu Gan finally felt at ease.
[ Lu Gan: That’s great. ]
[ Song Ci: Are the children asleep? ]
[ Lu Gan: Yes. I’m going to sleep with them for the next two days. ]
Song Ci smiled.
[ Song Ci: You’re getting closer to Yujin. ]
[ Lu Gan: Don’t worry, you’ll always be the closest to him. ]
[ Song Ci: Really? I don’t think so. ]
Lu Gan paused for a moment before replying.
[ Lu Gan: Just focus on your work. ]
Then, he thought of something and sent another text.
[ Lu Gan: By the way, I understand the nature of your job but you need to have boundaries! Kissing and intimate intercourse with others are off the table! ]
Song Ci fell silent. After that, she glanced at Yang Haoran.
‘Such a loyal employee…’
[ Song Ci: Hmm? Is someone getting anxious? ]
[ Lu Gan: I’m just worried. The kids might cry every day if they found out. ]
Song Ci felt that Lu Gan did not really know the two children. Was it even possible for Lu Suo and Song Yujing to cry over such a matter? Nonetheless, their faces would look quite cute if they ever did.
[ Song Ci: I understand. No need to worry. Anyway, I have to work now. ]
Lin Ting was finally ready.
Director Zhao called for everyone involved.
Lin Ting had a sweet appearance. She was really suitable to be the female lead. Unfortunately, she lacked acting skills.
Whenever Lin Ting was sad, her mouth would be wide open. Occasionally, she would also pout. Director Zhao had asked her to stop several times and even proposed solutions, but Lin Ting could not cast away her habit. She would probably need a professional’s help.
In the end, Director Zhao asked his assistant to improvise their schedule. They could not afford to waste too much time.
Director Zhao’s assistant was the one who picked Song Ci as the third female lead. He tried to take credit for this and said, “What do you think? Song Ci was chosen by me. Not bad, right?”
