âWash up and go to sleep!â
Xiaoqi narrowed her eyes and said suspiciously, âDid something⦠happen between the two of you?! Could it be that you want to make use of him, or threaten him with some dirty secret?!â
In the past, sheâd heard gossip. It was also about a popular idol. A male celebrity had once gotten drunk. That night, something happened between him and the assistant who was taking care of him. After that, the assistant had used it as leverage to threaten the male celebrity into giving her five million dollars, failing which, she said, sheâd sue him for forcing himself on her.
This male celebrity had no choice but to raise three million yuan. This matter was considered a peace offering.
Therefore, Xiaoqi wondered what method Liang Yin had used to âcoerceâ Hua Jin.
âYouâre crazy!â Hua Jin couldnât stand it any longer. He stood up and shooed her away. âGet out of here.â
There were important scenes tomorrow. Liang Yin was acting for the first time and thereâs no telling what would go wrong during filming. He planned to rest early and meet Liang Yin in the morning.
He really did not have the energy to bother with a lousy assistant.
Xiaoqi was so angry that she blurted out, âBitch!â
âWhat did you say!?â
âI said youâre a bitch!â
Completely enraged, the actor grabbed her by the face and shoved her out the door.
âIf you dare provoke me again, believe it or not, you can forget about your job as an assistant!â
With that, the actor slammed the door shut.
Having been rebuffed again, Xiaoqi was infuriated and aggrieved.
She glared at the door, recalling Hua Jinâs threat. âIf you dare provoke me again, believe it or not, you can forget about your job as an assistant!â
âFine! Liang Yin, you think youâre so greatâ¦â Her voice trembled with anger, and she was incoherent. She pointed at the door and said hatefully, âJust you wait!â
â¦
In the morning, Hua Jin was woken by the alarm.
The wake up call had been set in advance. For once, he didnât laze in bed. Instead, he got out of bed, dressed haphazardly, and ran to Liang Yinâs room.
There were two card keys issued for the room. Liang Yin had one and he had the other. Therefore, there was no need to use the doorbell. He simply swiped the door open.
In the room, Liang Yin was still in bed, sleeping soundly. The actor walked over to the bed, reached out and patted her cheek.
âTime to get up!â
Liang Yin was in the midst of a dream when she vaguely felt a hand constantly jabbing at her. With her eyes tightly shut, she patted the hand. âOh, be quiet.â
âItâs getting late. Get up and weâll go over the script.â
Liang Yin was annoyed by his torture and sat up in bed. Her short hair was in a mess and she seemed resentful. âWhat are you doing?â
âGet up and rehearse.â The actor tossed the robe on the bed. The room floor heating and air-conditioner were on.
Liang Yin yawned and looked resentful. âHavenât we gone through it? Why do we have to rehearse again?â
The actor, however, said matter-of-factly, âLetâs go over it again. Weâll be on set today, in case you make an error.â
Liang Yin was even more disheartened!
âDirector Gu is a very strict director. If you donât act well, no matter how many staff members are present, he will scold you in front of everyone.â
Gu Xiaoyang had a fiery temper. At most, he would give someone three chances. If the person didnât get it right within three takes, heâd definitely lose his temper.
