Chapter 121 Couldn’t Bear the Responsibility
The studio was packed. Some of them were staff while the others were people who came just to see Gu Hanyan. It had been more than a decade since her debut. She had amassed countless fans since then; most of them were even diehard fans.
Moreover, they were all from various countries. Su Ziyue only went in to ask a few words before she sat at the side and kept quiet.
An Xia was following behind her back all this while. She seemed very excited.
She did not have the chance to meet her when Gu Hanyan went to their company that day. As Gu Hanyan’s fan for so many years, it was an exciting matter for An Xia to be able to look at Gu Hanyan at such a close distance.
“Ziyue, it’s her! It really is her!” An Xia grabbed Su Ziyue’s sleeves; even her voice started trembling.
Su Ziyue quietly pulled her sleeves out from An Xia’s grip. “I’ve seen her. Of course, it’s her. Otherwise, how could the Su Group pay a great amount of endorsement fee for her to make an appearance? What a poor child. Enjoy your time this once.”
Su Ziyue rubbed An Xia’s head as she heaved a sigh.
She was kind of worried. What if An Xia knew Gu Hanyan was a woman who was going after her husband? Would An Xia still remain as Gu Hanyan’s fan? Maybe yes, maybe no…
An Xia was done feeling excited. She then suddenly thought of a news from a few days ago. “Goddess Yan and Mr. Qin were on the news that day. Was she the one who had asked someone to do it on purpose?” An Xia asked straightforwardly.
She was an international movie star for so many years after all, so how could someone have possibly managed to take her photo once she had returned?
Furthermore, her privacy had always been well-kept; no one had ever found out anything about her.
Su Ziyue touched her head again. “If you were to choose between me and her, who would you choose?”
“Huh?” An Xia was quick-witted. “I’ve only wanted to ask if Goddess Yan really has feelings for Mr. Qin?”
“What do you mean?” Su Ziyue asked deliberately.
An Xia took a glance at the surroundings before she started whispering, “I mean, does she love Mr. Qin as well?”
“What do you think?” Su Ziyue let out a suggestive smile.
An Xia only shook her head. She was only taking a guess based on her instincts, so she could not be sure.
Moreover, she could feel Su Ziyue acting slightly strange these few days. She had been constantly putting on a look that suggested there were more to the words she said.
It was then when something had happened at the front. Someone was calling for Su Ziyue.
“Director Su, can you come over?”
Su Ziyue raised her head to find one of the staff calling her.
She stood up and walked toward that direction. An Xia, who was sitting beside her, had followed behind her back as well.
Su Ziyue walked up to inquire about the matter. “What’s the matter?”
“Nice to meet you. Are you Director Su?” A woman with short hair had walked over. She then swept a look at Su Ziyue.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Su Ziyue.” Su Ziyue could sense bad intentions coming from this woman with short hair, so the look she gave the latter was slightly frosty.
The short-haired woman then spoke up with a sullen look on her face. “I’m Gu Hanyan’s manager, Meng.”
She could have just said her name without telling Su Ziyue her post.
Su Ziyue seemed calm. “So, Miss Meng, can you tell me what’s the matter?”
Meng was putting on a heavier frown. It seemed like she did not like the way Su Ziyue had talked to her. “The second outfit that was provided by you was of poor quality. The fabric was uncomfortable to the skin. Hanyan’s skin is very sensitive. Therefore, it’s necessary to change to another outfit.”
As soon as Meng was done speaking, she turned around to grab the outfit from another assistant’s hands before handing it over to Su Ziyue. “Hanyan has a lot of work and she’s really busy. She can’t stop a few days of work just because an outfit has caused her allergies. Even if it‘s only a few days, it’ll still be a huge loss. Who is going to bear the responsibility by then?”
Meng even raised her chin after she was done talking. The look she had put on was arrogant.
Her tone was noticeably aggressive, and she didn’t sound friendly at all. Nevertheless, it was all understandable, since she was the manager of Gu Hanyan; the both of them were of the same mould.
“Meng.”
Before Su Ziyue could even start talking, Gu Hanyan had come over from the back.
Due to the shoot, the makeup on her face was exquisite. She looked more gorgeous than usual. “I’m sorry. Meng has a bad temper.” She seemed apologetic when she came over to say sorry to Su Ziyue.
Right after those words had come out from her mouth, Su Ziyue could already hear some people talking at the side. “Goddess Yan is so gentle…”
Su Ziyue snorted in her mind. I should forgive your manager who has a bad temper just because you came over to apologize on behalf of her?
“You shouldn’t apologize, Miss Gu. You haven’t done anything wrong. You’re making me feel guilty.” Su Ziyue reached over to grab the plastic bag which Meng had given her.
She then looked down at it. “I’ll bring this over to the sponsor right away to get it changed to another outfit with the exact fabric as the first outfit.”
If Gu Hanyan really were sensitive to this kind of fabric, Su Ziyue would not be able to bear the responsibility if there happened to be any problems and ended up holding up her work schedule, for every minute was worth money for an international movie star like her.
Gu Hanyan smiled generously. “Sorry to bother you, Director Su.”
Su Ziyue put on a smile as well. “It’s part of my job.”
“Can you hurry up please?” Meng spoke with an impatient manner as she looked at the time. The way she urged Su Ziyue to get things done quickly was blatantly impolite.
Su Ziyue stared at Meng, but before the latter could even speak up, Su Ziyue had turned around and left.
She then gave orders to An Xia after pacing two steps away. “Wait for me here. I’m going over to the sponsors. I’ll be back soon.”
Su Ziyue headed straight for the sponsors after she had exited the studio.
They were still working when Su Ziyue had gotten there. She communicated with the person-in-charge over at the sponsors and brought another outfit back to the set. An hour had passed when she had returned.
If it were not for the sake of changing an outfit, they would have been close to the end of the shoot already.
Although Su Ziyue had slight complaints toward Gu Hanyan, she knew it was part of her job.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for her until she got back to the studio.
Meng started ranting the moment she entered the studio. “Why have you come back so late? We’ve waited for a long time. Don’t you know how precious Hanyan’s time is?”
Su Ziyue was annoyed by her, but she had to take her own identity into consideration. Thus, she could only ignore her straightaway. “This is the outfit.”
Su Ziyue stuffed the outfit over into Meng’s hands. When she was about to leave, she was held back once again.
She turned around to find Gu Hanyan being the person who was grabbing onto her hand.
“Is there any problem?” Su Ziyue had retracted her hand before she asked her that.
“Sorry to bother you. Meng has a bad temper. I hope you don’t mind.” Gu Hanyan seemed elegant and generous as she put on that smile of hers.
When Su Ziyue was about to say something, Gu Hanyan pushed her away forcefully all of a sudden.
Crash!
The entire studio was plunged into chaos after the deafening noise was heard.
Su Ziyue was lying on the ground as she turned her head around. She had no idea what had happened.
She could only hear Meng screaming, “Hanyan!”
