"Fearful?" Tangning looked puzzled at Han Xiner who didn't quite understand her point.
"Don't worry. Even if I tell you, you won't understand," Han Xiner shook her head before continuing, "Go find a martial arts choreographer. I'll come look for you in a minute."
Tangning watched as Han Xiner walked over to Bei Chendong. Tangning couldn't understand what was in her head; this was definitely the best opportunity for a small fan like herself to ask for an autograph, yet she was afraid...
Bei Chendong's head remained lowered giving no eye contact to anyone. It was this foreign and distant feeling that made Han Xiner uncomfortable.
However, unexpectedly, Han Xiner managed to find a trace of resemblance to Mo Ting on Bei Chendong's face.
He doesn't keep it to himself. Instead, he subconsciously shared his thoughts, "You look a lot like President Mo ..."
"We are cousins."
"Huh?" As soon as Han Xiner heard this response, she froze in shock.
"Don't tell anyone, no one knows. Even Tangning," Bei Chendong said coldly as he turned around and tidied up the tent he had finished building.
Han Xiner pointed to herself in surprise. If no one knew, why would he tell her?
Plus, he had obviously finished setting up the tent, so why would he call her to help?
Most importantly, what does he know now? That Bei Chendong and Mo Ting were cousins! No wonder their height and presence are so similar.
However, Mo Ting looked more noble and his gaze was sharp. Bei Chendong was just cold; he had a bone-chilling flu that made him unapproachable.
Han Xiner always chatted with Tangning about everything. But now he was suddenly forced to keep a secret from her. Worst of all, it was a secret that only he and the freak knew. Thinking of this, Han Xiner now felt her every move being watched. This strange feeling made him goosebumps all over his body.
...
As Tangning had no martial arts foundation, the production crew arranged for Tangning to film a non-action scene within the first 15 days. During this time, he practiced martial arts every day with a choreographer.
With a harsh location, bad food and uncomfortable living conditions, the other two actresses began to complain that they could not continue filming like this...
During this time, Tangning simply stood to one side and did leg stretches or practiced sword fighting.
Even though she is a model, she is very flexible. So, as long as the martial arts scene is well choreographed, she will look fun on screen like a cool heroine.
But, because of his seriousness, those who were not so serious ended up being scolded by the director. Above all, the director liked to use Tangning in comparison, "You're late again! Tangning's been here for two hours."
"Mosquitoes? We were out in the wilderness, of course there were mosquitoes. Look at Tangning, she has bruises all over her body. Did you see him complain?"
"Enough. Even the wife of a CEO can endure all this, why can't you guys survive?"
While filming, the director had a fairly short temper, so he pretty much said whatever he wanted without thinking. But, she had no idea, her words would eventually create an enemy for Tangning.
It was so bad for one of the actresses that it caused a delay because she had a fever due to allergies. The director insisted he finish filming before he could rest. As a result, she eventually collapsed on set.
"Does the director think everyone is like Tangning? How could he compare everything to her?"
"Why is Tangning so serious? She's married to a rich family, isn't she trying too hard?"
"If this continues, why don't we ask Tangning to act on her own?"
Rumors quickly spread on set, and of course, the clever Han Xiner managed to hear some conversations here and there. He quickly returned to Tangning's side and reported to her, "Ning Jie, what should we do? You're almost everyone's enemy. It's hard to judge people's motives and you're currently very far from President Mo. If something happens, he won't be able to help you even if he wants to."
It was clearly the director's fault...
...but the one who suffered, was Tangning!
"Understood..."
Be understood? Han Xiner was worried about this response.
Is that all he said?
Of course, she had yet to witness Tangning's ability to convince people. The current situation was to take a walk in the park for him.
Next day.
Tangning who was originally meant to appear on set, did not appear on time as usual. Not only that, she even made the makeup artist wait half an hour for her.
During filming, the director once again saw an actress daydreaming, so he usually wanted to use Tangning in comparison. However, she realized Tangning wasn't seen anywhere.
"Where's Tangning?"
"He hasn't arrived yet" replied one of the staff.
The director rubbed his nose awkwardly as the actress heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone wanted to know what the director would say about the late Tangning. With this incident, they would no longer be compared anymore.
"Come, let's continue.once more," the director waved.
A while later, Tangning finally arrived on set with a sleepy expression. The director initially didn't want to say anything, but the way they appeared, he couldn't help but ask, "Tangning, what did you do last night? Don't you know your scene today is very important?"
"He's..."
Han Xiner originally wanted to explain that Tangning had been training her movements all night, but Tangning stopped her, "Sorry director, I killed mosquitoes all night, so I slept!"
"They kill mosquitoes... Why do mosquitoes bite women? I didn't see them bite me" the director shouted furiously. "This is how this place is. You came here to work hard, not to live in luxury. If you can't understand this, then go."
"Sorry Director, it won't happen again," Tangning apologized.
"Look at you. I always used you as an example, now I'm too embarrassed to mention you again."
The director continued to catapult a few words of complaint before finally letting Tangning off the hook. After this, the set feels fair again...
"Tangning was also scolded!"
"How satisfying."
"Ning Jie, I almost ruined everything. Sorry," Han Xiner realized that she was too young. Tangning's move this time around not only stopped the director from using it in comparison, but also gave everyone a chance to let go of a bit of steam.
EQ is definitely a game that can only be played by those who deserve it.
"Tonight, Ting will ask someone to deliver something here... When the goods arrive, help me pick them up."
"President Mo wants to convey something here?" Han Xiner was very happy with the news. Their condition was indeed harsh, so he wished they had a chance to at least improve on the food they ate.
Tangning gave a secret smile. Last night, she talked to Mo Ting on the phone and asked him a lot of things. But, there was nothing he asked for himself.
This set was not like the 'Stupid' set; it was foreign territory. So, he had to consider everything he did.
"Is there nothing you want?" asked Mo Ting.
"I just want you," Tangning replied straightforwardly.
