Chapter 230: My Treat

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If Jiang Yue was really a good woman, Mo Rao planned to matchmake her and Shen Feng.
However, if Jiang Yue was just pretending, she would naturally expose her.
“Alright, alright. We won’t be filming anymore tonight. Let’s have a meal together!” Director Wang instructed everyone.
Jiang Yue said that she wanted to treat the main leads of the production team, the director, the screenwriter, and the cameramen, to a meal. She had chosen a good hotel near the set.
Everyone was quite happy. They felt that Jiang Yue was very generous and easygoing.
“Let’s go!” After Mo Rao removed her makeup and changed her clothes, she said to Mo Yuan.
“I’m not going. I’m going to negotiate an advertisement endorsement for you tonight. It’s a skincare product and it’s quite famous.” Mo Yuan looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to set off.
As a brother, he was really dedicated to his sister’s career.
Mo Rao felt touched and waved her hand as she said, “Goodbye. Try to negotiate a higher endorsement fee.”
“Got it. With your brother around, I guarantee that you’ll become richer every day!” When Mo Yuan saw Mo Rao’s money-grubbing look, he patted her shoulder dotingly.
After watching Mo Yuan leave, Mo Rao brought Hu Ya to the gathering.
When they arrived at the hotel, a group of people came to the large private room that had been booked. It could seat more than ten people. After Mo Rao brought Hu Ya to a seat, the others also sat down.
“There’s a seat missing!” someone suddenly said.
The personal makeup artist Jiang Yue brought didn’t have a seat. She was standing there and staring at Hu Ya.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. As the person who was treating today, Jiang Yue’s first thought wasn’t to get the waiter to add a chair. Instead, she said awkwardly, “Mo Rao, I’m treating the production team to a meal today. I heard that your makeup artist was brought over by you yourself and doesn’t belong to the production team…”
Mo Rao frowned. Before she could speak, Jiang Yue quickly apologized. “Don’t mind me! I’m just straightforward. My words might be unpleasant, but I definitely don’t mean any harm!”
After a day of filming, Jiang Yue had already established a good relationship with the production team. She was even more familiar with them than Mo Rao, who had been on the production team for half a month.
The others also felt that Jiang Yue had a good personality. Her personality was straightforward and unpretentious.
When Hu Ya heard this, she prepared to stand up. Although she had never been snubbed like this before, she didn’t want Mo Rao to be in a difficult position.
Unexpectedly, Mo Rao grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit down again. “It’s okay. Sit beside me.”
Her simple sentence made the others look at each other. It was obvious that she was unwilling to give up her seat to Jiang Yue’s makeup artist.
Director Wang and the others couldn’t speak up for anyone. None of them were to be trifled with.
“Just ask the waiter to add a chair.” Mo Rao’s expression was calm and cold.
As expected, she had been too optimistic. How could Jiang Yue be as easy to get along with as she looked?
“But it’ll be very crowded if you add a chair.” Jiang Yue’s expression was very calm. She seemed a little troubled and unhappy, yet she was still polite.
At this moment, others also started discussing softly.
“Actually, Hu Ya really isn’t considered a member of the production team…”
“Jiang Yue’s makeup artist doesn’t count either, right?? Isn’t she also a personal makeup artist?”
“But Jiang Yue is treating us today!”
“That’s true…”
They actually deliberately said these words for Mo Rao to hear.
Mo Rao didn’t expect Jiang Yue to be so good at winning people over. On her first day in the production team, so many people were already speaking up for her.
Director Wang didn’t say anything. Of course, he knew that this was Jiang Yue’s home ground, but he couldn’t afford to offend the big shots backing Mo Rao.
If the two of them really had a conflict, it might hype up the movie even more if word of it spread.
The public loved to see such emotional entanglements.
Jiang Yue stood up and said in a conciliatory tone, “Everyone, stop talking. I was inconsiderate regarding this matter. I should have booked a larger private room.”
Mo Rao was amused. She smirked and looked at Jiang Yue coldly as she said, “How about this? Let’s book a bigger private room.”
This way, everyone would have a seat.
Jiang Yue said awkwardly, “It’s very difficult. All the private rooms here have been booked already. I heard that the production team of ‘Moonrise’ also had a gathering and booked the entire upper floor.”
The main cast of “Moonrise” consisted of popular A-list actors and had a lot of investments, so it was naturally generous. It booked an entire floor to prevent being disturbed or secretly filmed.
“Then I’ll treat everyone today.” Mo Rao calmly picked up her phone as everyone looked at her in surprise.
