Chapter 416: Holding a Grudge and Making Things Difficult

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Regarding the “exchange” proposed by the director, An Nuo wished she could write the words “not interested at all” on her face.

“You’re making it sound so serious…” The director wanted to touch her face, but he teased, “I don’t even know if you’re really aloof or if you’re trying to play hard to get.

Actually, I quite like this. If you please me more, I can still increase the price.” The director’s words could be said to be extremely proficient.

It was obvious that she had done these things a lot.

However, in An Nuo’s eyes, this scene only made her want to vomit.

An Nuo couldn’t be bothered with him. “This isn’t a matter of increasing the price. I’m sorry, I still have something on and have to leave first.”

Fortunately, the other party didn’t play any tricks and was not shameless to a certain extent. An Nuo turned the door and pushed it open before leaving.

As soon as she went out, she saw the uneasy makeup artist standing not far from the door. When she saw her come out, she clearly heaved a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that you came out.” When An Nuo approached, she could still hear the makeup artist’s muttering.

It seemed that she also knew what kind of person the director was, An Nuo thought.

However, she didn’t intend to vent her anger on the makeup artist. At least she had tried to say something on her behalf before leaving to protect herself.

The two of them moved to another room, but An Nuo’s mood was no longer as good as before.

The makeup artist was no longer in the mood to chat now. She only cared about finishing her job and left.

However, while An Nuo thought that the matter was over, she didn’t expect that there would be a huge problem when she was filming.

She changed her clothes and stood in front of the pure white background of the studio. Just as she was changing her posture according to the photographer’s instructions, she saw the director walking over.

“Hello, Director.”

“Director.”

“Hello, Director…”

Everyone greeted him.

An Nuo watched him walk to the photographer’s side and say something. The photographer nodded repeatedly.

“Young Miss An, the director is here to guide us. I might have to trouble you to cooperate later,” the photographer turned around and said to her.

An Nuo did not believe these words. Her gaze shifted from the photographer’s face to the director beside her. When she saw the director’s smile, she had no choice but to nod.

This was her job. There was no reason for her not to cooperate.

The director clearly understood this and grabbed An Nuo’s Achilles’ heel.

“Since it’s a requirement to adjust your physical condition to one more realistic of a person after exercise, we naturally have to pursue reality. Bring her a treadmill to run five kilometers—”

“This posture is too stiff. I’ll teach you.”

“Young Miss An Nuo, although I don’t want to question it, from your performance, you’re too perfunctory. Do you need me to reiterate the requirements of the contract?”

“Straighten your waist a little more. You look like a female monkey flirting.”

The director was just short of throwing the words “making things difficult for her” and his vengeful attitude at An Nuo’s face.

Many unreasonable requests came out of his mouth. He even gestured at An Nuo’s posture and various expressions. It was even worse than a person finding quarrel in a straw.

An Nuo was so tired that her entire body was covered in sweat. In the end, this was also used by the director as an excuse to criticize her. It was only when the manager said that An Nuo needed to rest that this scene ended temporarily. “What’s going on?” the manager asked her.

An Nuo’s manager came halfway through the filming. When she saw the director being so picky with An Nuo, she was dumbfounded.

An Nuo was also holding her breath at this moment. Fortunately, she suppressed her anger and briefly explained what had happened before the shoot to her manager.

The manager also reacted after being surprised. “I’ll report this to the boss later. As for today… I’ll have to trouble you to finish filming first.”

QL’s endorsement opportunity was rare, and it was also the best resource An Nuo had come into contact with so far. Even if the director made things difficult for her, this was still a rare opportunity.

“…I know.” An Nuo understood clearly.

She pursed her lips and glanced at the director sitting not far away from her. At this moment, in front of so many people, the director smiled at her.

It looked quite harmonious, but An Nuo knew the sarcasm in it.

Her cell phone suddenly vibrated, attracting An Nuo’s attention.

[Qiao: When will it end? Ruan Ying and I will pick you up, or we can look for you.]

Her mood, which had just been troubled, improved a lot after seeing the message from Murong Qiao.

[It’s nothing. I might be busy for a while before getting off work. Filming for the endorsement here is a little slow.]

She naturally didn’t want Murong Qiao to worry about her. In addition, Ruan Ying was also an innocent person, so it was even more impossible for An Nuo to say anything.

Fortunately, the director was a human and had not done anything particularly overboard. An Nuo was mentally prepared and planned to endure it later.

She thought for a moment and added, [You don’t have to pick me up.]

It was better not to let these two come over. It’s enough for her to be angry alone.

“Are you ready? You’ve dragged it out for so long. Do you want everyone to work overtime with you, Young Miss An?” The director walked over and spoke in a strange tone.

An Nuo put away her cell phone and looked up at him. “I’m done.”

Perhaps it was because An Nuo’s reply was too calm, but the director couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her, his expression a little surprised.

An Nuo had thought it through. If she couldn’t complete the endorsement, this matter wouldn’t concern her alone. As long as she cooperated well, they wouldn’t be able to find any fault with her.

Seeing that An Nuo was ready, everyone began to move.

“I feel like there’s no hope of getting off work today…” Someone complained.

It was impossible for them to get off work, but it was not because of the director.

It was because at the same time, the company welcomed a surprise inspection by the head office. Among the people who came, the one walking in front was the President of Shengjing Group, Murong Chen.

“Hello, hello. This… Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you’re coming here…”

The boss ran over at almost the speed of life and death. He didn’t even bother to wipe the sweat off his head. He smiled apologetically and greeted Murong Chen.

“No need.” Murong Chen was flipping through the report. “I’m just looking around.”

He went on this business trip because he was busy with the branch company.

QL has been developing well recently. Murong Chen originally wanted to go back to the hotel, but he suddenly had this thought, so he came over.

“Alright, alright, alright.” The boss nodded.

However, every time Murong Chen flipped through a page of the report, the boss’s heart trembled. He was afraid that this President would point out some problems.

He was confident in the company, but President Murong was very strict. His image of having high expectations of the company and employees was simply deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the boss couldn’t help but feel much more nervous.

Although it was said to be a casual inspection, Murong Chen only picked a few quarterly reports and looked at them with his recent work. They looked really casual.

It was a stark contrast to the boss’s fear.

“…Go about your business. I’ll take a look around.” Murong Chen waved his hand.

He’d really only decided to come over at the last minute, but unfortunately, the boss treated him like a god when he saw him. How could he really have the freedom to do his own thing?

He even asked his secretary to inform his employees to perform better tonight. The money for temporary overtime would be doubled just to give this President Murong a good impression.

However, Murong Chen seemed to be able to read the boss’s mind. When he left, he didn’t look at the staff area. Instead, he casually pressed another floor.

The boss naturally accompanied him and prayed in his heart that his subordinates wouldn’t be monkeying around.

But drama was always present.

“This is your standard? I’m really curious how Young Miss An obtained this endorsement.”

Before he could approach the studio, he heard these extremely uncomfortable words..
