Chapter 1454 -1438: She Really Knows Them_2

“Are you talking about her?” Xiao Yingying pointed at Lu Yaobing.

Li Jing immediately said, “Yeah, yeah, and there’s also a guy. I have no idea where he’s gone now. Hopefully, he won’t cause any trouble. If something happens, it would be a huge disaster.”

Chen Xinran listened to Li Jing and Zhou Xuefei singing the same tune, it was almost as if they had sentenced her to death. Her face had already lost all color, and now she didn’t even have the courage to explain to Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying. Compared to her, who would believe her words more than those of the two stars? It was all too obvious.

Seeing Chen Xinran’s expression, Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing both secretly felt proud. Never before had any newcomer dared to challenge their authority, and Chen Xinran usually listened to them very well. Her offending them this time made them even more uncomfortable.

Lu Yaobing waited for them to finish talking before dragging the dumbfounded Chen Xinran to face Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying.

Li Jing blocked them, frowning, “What are you coming over for now?”

Lu Yaobing said, “I’m here to say something to Sister Miao and Sister Xiao.”

Li Jing immediately said with a face full of disdain, “Sister Miao and Sister Xiao? You mean President Miao and President Xiao?”

Chapter 1439

Lu Yaobing ignored Li Jing, directly pulled Chen Xinran along past her, and approached Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, bowed, then put on a sweet smile, saying, “Hello, Sister Miao! Hello, Sister Xiao!”

“Hello, President Miao! Hello, President Xiao!” Chen Xinran stammered a greeting, then lowered her head.

In private, Lu Yaobing should naturally address the two of them as Teachers’ Wives, but in a public setting, that would be inappropriate. According to seniority, she should call them Aunts, or something similar. However, since their ages weren’t that different, using “sister” didn’t sound out of place.

Seeing Lu Yaobing greeting Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying like that made Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing’s hearts skip a beat.

For them, they could only address them as President Miao and President Xiao. Only those familiar with Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying could use the “sister” term.

They hoped Lu Yaobing was just trying to get close to them and wasn’t truly close with these two executives, naturally turning their gaze to Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, expecting the two executives to not show Lu Yaobing a good face.

Xiao Yingying chuckled and directly grabbed Lu Yaobing’s hand, saying, “Yaobing, why did you come over too, without letting us know in advance?”

Miao Xuanxuan also laughed, saying, “I spotted Yaobing a long time ago; it’s you who overlooked her.”

“Ah!” Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing exclaimed, feeling their hearts tighten.

The attitude of Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying clearly showed they were familiar with Lu Yaobing and had a good relationship.

However, they weren’t too flustered at heart, concluding that even if Lu Yaobing had a good relationship with Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, Chen Xinran was merely Lu Yaobing’s classmate. Given that connection, these two presidents wouldn’t turn against them because of Chen Xinran’s issues. At worst, their words would have no effect, letting Chen Xinran stay in the production crew.

Lu Yaobing pulled Chen Xinran over, saying, “Sister Xuanxuan, Sister Yingying, Xinran is my classmate. I heard she’s also about to sign with your company.”

Miao Xuanxuan smiled, “Xinran is indeed very promising, I’ve always had high hopes for her.”

Xiao Yingying followed up, “Yes, I plan to groom her well in the future.”

Chen Xinran was dumbfounded, her mouth agape, staring at Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, not knowing what to say for a moment. It seemed like these two executives really valued her, but something in her heart reminded her that they were just saying these things because of Lu Yaobing.

After all, Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing were of such high status. Although Lu Yaobing might know these two executives for some reason, her influence definitely couldn’t match that of Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing.

Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing, hearing Miao Xuanxuan and the others speak like this, were quite embarrassed but thought similar to Chen Xinran, assuming the executives were just being polite.

Lu Yaobing glanced at Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing, saying, “But just now they said that if there’s Xinran in the crew, there couldn’t be them, and if there are them, Xinran couldn’t be there.”

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying frowned simultaneously, showing displeasure on their faces.

Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing, instead of being shocked, were secretly pleased. Even if Lu Yaobing wanted to confront them, she shouldn’t have said it outright. Wouldn’t this put Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying in an awkward position? Clearly, Lu Yaobing was so naive, and this forced Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying to take a stand.

Chen Xinran was also startled, quickly saying, “President Miao, President Xiao, Sister Fei and the others were just joking. I know.”

Given the opportunity provided by Chen Xinran, Zhou Xuefei, aiming to save face, said, “Yes, I was just joking.”

“They weren’t joking. They’ve always been bullying Xinran, and this time they even used Xinran chatting with me and the master as an excuse to talk bad about my master.”

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying realized why Lu Yaobing was holding onto this matter in such a situation and why such an otherwise sensible child was being so insistent, going out of her way to defend someone else. Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing were not offending Lu Yaobing but had wronged Song Xiaodong.

Their faces darkened instantly. Lu Yaobing was Song Xiaodong’s disciple and couldn’t tolerate others insulting her master, and as Song Xiaodong’s women, they wouldn’t stand for such things either.

“Zhou Xuefei, Li Jing, you indeed have some celebrity airs about you,” Miao Xuanxuan looked seriously at Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing.

Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing, hearing the displeasure in Miao Xuanxuan’s tone, turned pale, which already indicated Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying’s dissatisfaction.

Zhou Xuefei quickly forced a smile, saying, “President Miao, it was really just a joke, don’t take it seriously.”

Xiao Yingying snorted, “A joke? I think not. But you’re right; in this project, you shouldn’t coexist.”

Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing were immediately flustered, with Zhou Xuefei stammering, “President Xiao, what do you mean?”

Xiao Yingying bluntly said, “Isn’t it clear enough? If you don’t want to be in the same crew with Xinran, then you don’t need to be. We can replace the actors.”

“Ah!” Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing exclaimed in disbelief at Xiao Yingying’s harsh words.

Chen Xinran was equally dumbstruck; she couldn’t fathom that as a mere newcomer, when she faced conflict with two stars, it would be Zhou Xuefei and Li Jing, the two stars, who would be expelled from the crew instead of her.

Director Liu’s lips twitched as he hurried over to say, “President Miao, President Xiao, this matter… this matter… shouldn’t be so hastily decided, right? We’ve already started promotional activities and shot quite a bit of footage. Replacing the lead actors now would be a major taboo.”

Miao Xuanxuan said calmly, “Any losses incurred, our company will cover. This decision is final.”

Director Liu pursed his lips, at a loss for words.

“Ha… President Miao, President Xiao, long time no see!” A middle-aged man approached with laughter.

Zhou Xuefei, whose face had been extremely worried, brightened up upon seeing the man. She quickly walked over, took his arm, and said sweetly, “Godfather, I’ve missed you so much!”
