Chapter 386: First Dispute
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
In the past, An Nuo still had to go around for auditions to obtain more resources through her own efforts.
Now, her hard work has paid off.
There were countless advertisements and interviews. There were also many variety shows that sent invitations one after another, wanting An Nuo to participate in their show.
An Nuo was so busy that her feet didnât even touch the ground.
âWe have a magazine cover shoot tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, there1 another endorsement and a variety show. When the time comes, I can adjust according to the timeâŠâ Her manager, Su Zhen, reported the dayâs schedule as usual.
An Nuoâs itinerary was filled to the brim. Almost after this round, the next schedule would start immediately, forcing her to move.
This situation was also arranged by Jiang Chi to be reported to Murong Qiao. âSo many?â Murong Qiao frowned.
What she was holding in her hand was An Nuoâs schedule for the past week. The dense words on it made her dizzy at first glance.
Jiang Chi lowered his eyes and agreed. âThis is the most basic. Thereâs also a flexible schedule according to the time.â
In other words, An Nuo was far busier than what the list depicts.
âGo and call her over.â Murong Qiao frowned.
She felt that she had to talk to An Nuo.
It was a good thing to win an award, and it was also a good thing to have more work. However, Murong Qiao didnât agree with accepting all kinds of invitations.
An Nuo was quickly called over. âQiao, is there something urgent?â
When she knocked on the door and came in, she was wearing a short skirt. It was obvious that she would be busy again later.
âAn Nuo.â Murong Qiao deliberated over her words. âYou havenât been attending many performance classes recently.â
She mentioned it tactfully as a form of inquiry.
âPerformance class?â An Nuo was stunned.
She reacted for a moment before remembering. âIâve been too busy recently. I have indeed been attending fewer performance classes.â
Some of the words were not very appropriate. Previously, An Nuoâs performance class was about five times a week. Now, in order to facilitate her events, her manager, Su Zhen, felt that An Nuo no longer needed to nurture her acting skills as much as before. Hence, after discussing with An Nuo, they decided that she should attend only two sessions a week.
Even so, An Nuo would still be absent sometimes.
âYou should attend less events,â Murong Qiao suggested.
It was naturally a good thing to have popularity and invitations, but seeing that An Nuo seemed to be immersed in it and had even forgotten to learn and improve, Murong Qiao couldnât help but be a little worried.
An Nuo was puzzled and even objected. âBut itâs best to strike while the iron is hot now.â
She was a little resistant to Murong Qiaoâs words. Her disagreement was shown on her face, and her smile gradually faded.
âUsing the momentum of winning the award and taking advantage of the victory to participate in various activities has greatly improved me.â An Nuo explained her thoughts.
But Murong Qiao felt a headache when she saw her like this. âBut your acting skills arenât solid enough.â
The two of them were close. Usually, when they talked, they were more inclined to speak directly. However, todayâs conversation was the first time Murong Qiao felt that speaking directly had become a burden.
âEverything has its priorities. I just feel that attending events now is the most important.â An Nuo insisted.
Seeing that she was obviously unwilling to accept the suggestion, Murong Qiao clenched her fingers. Many words that she wanted to say finally stopped in her mouth.
âYou canât miss acting class.â It was rare for her tone to be tough.
Murong Qiao had no intention of giving in.
In her opinion, acting was the foundation. It was something that An Nuo could rely on in the future.
Whether it was advertising endorsements or other things, these were all temporary.
If the next Best Actress Award was given to someone else, these things would also follow.
An Nuo was anxious. âItâs not like I wonât do it in the future. Itâs just that Iâm on the rise now. Why canât you understand me a little?â
Recently, the pressure brought by the advertisement had been too great. An Nuo had been holding it in. Coupled with the fact that they were about to set off for the next venue, it couldnât help but make An Nuo anxious.
Murong Qiaoâs words were like a fuse.
âHow you pursue your victory is your business, but the acting class schedule has to return to its previous state. Not a single lesson can be missed. Iâll get the teacher to report your progress at all times.â Murong Qiaoâs face turned cold.
An Nuo choked at Murong Qiaoâs attitude. She was so angry that she only said coldly, âGot it.â Then, she turned around and pushed the door open.
âAn Nuo, youâre here. Itâs just niceâŠâ An employee outside wanted to talk to her.
However, An Nuo acted as if she did not see him. Her cold expression made people shut their mouths. The sound of the door slamming was so loud that even the people working beside could hear it.
The employee was shocked and swallowed his words.
Almost everyoneâs gaze was attracted by this commotion and looked in the direction of the office.
However, An Nuo didnât seem to notice. After slamming the door, she left angrily.
âWhatâs going on?â
âI donât know. Did they quarrel?â
Huh? Isnât An Nuo the closest to Boss? How can they quarrel like this?â
âI donât knowâŠâ
Discussions gradually rose.
The speed of gossip was unimaginable, to minutes after An Nuo slammed the door and left, almost everyone in the company knew that An Nuo and Murong Qiao had quarreled.
âWhatâs the situation between you and Boss?â Her manager, Su Zhen, asked her.
She was not a gossip, but it was obviously not a wise decision to quarrel with her boss.
An Nuo was still angry. âWe donât see eye to eye.â
That was all she said.
The assistant beside her was also worried. âBut you two are usually very close.
Is there a problem that you canât communicate about?â
The assistant had been working with An Nuo since she debuted. Their relationship was not bad, so she didnât have so many scruples when she spoke.
ââŠâ An Nuo remained silent.
The assistantâs words made her ponder. In fact, An Nuo didnât think that the problem she discussed with Murong Qiao could not be solved. It was just that the other party couldnât understand her thoughts, making An Nuo feel aggrieved.
However, this silence made the manager, Su Zhen, and the little assistant look at each other. They were both certain that An Nuo did not get along with their boss.
It was rare for Su Zhen to persuade her gently. âAfter all, the boss is still the boss. Why donât we postpone our schedule for this afternoon and have a good chat?â
She asked for An Nuoâs opinion, but the meaning of her words was very clear. âThatâs right, thatâs right. Itâs better to resolve the misunderstanding at this time,â the junior assistant agreed.
They were not like An Nuo, who thought from the perspective of a worker.
Offending the boss was definitely not a good thing. Moreover, if it did not involve principles, there was room for negotiation.
However, An Nuo became even more stubborn. âNo need. Just carry on as usual.â
Su Zhen and the assistantâs words made An Nuo feel even more frustrated. She was sure that she was right and there was no problem with the way she handled it.
However, Murong Qiaoâs actions made An Nuo even more determined to work harder. She held back her anger and wanted to oppose Murong Qiao.
âŠAlright. Su Zhen, the manager, nodded reluctantly.
The artistesâ opinions were the most important. Moreover, Su Zhen was worried about Murong Qiao and An Nuoâs quarrel, so she didnât want to interfere.
The car started slowly, and An Nuoâs schedule continued as usual. However, the busy and excited mood was no longer there.
On the way there, the car was abnormally silent. An Nuo looked at the darkening sky and suddenly thought of going home at night.
She suddenly said, âBook a hotel for me. I donât want to go home for the time being.â
She was going to meet Murong Qiao again after returning home, and An Nuo didnât really want to see her for the time being.
âAh? Okay.â The assistant quickly agreed.
They didnât know that An Nuo lived with Murong Qiao and thought that she was angry..
