Pull Strings

Mo Yuan patted Mo Rao’s shoulder with a gratified expression. “Yes! We have to be tough! Qu Rou? We’re not afraid of her!”

After Mo Yuan vented his anger, he returned to his usual shrewd and capable self and walked out of the dressing room with Mo Rao.

“Director Zheng, I’m ready. We can start filming at any time.”

Director Zheng looked up and sized up Mo Rao’s makeup before giving her a thumbs up.

“Not bad! This makeup style looks pretty!”

As the staff around watched Mo Rao and Director Zheng’s interaction, they calmed down.

After Mo Rao finished filming a scene, there was suddenly a commotion at the entrance of the set.

The surrounding staff looked up at the door. Director Zheng frowned and looked over impatiently.

She saw Qu Rou wearing a pair of sunglasses and walking in arrogantly. Beside her, there were two assistants holding many things in their hands. It seemed that they were prepared for Qu Rou.

“Her entrance is even grander than our female lead’s!” Someone said softly.

Mo Yuan had arrived beside Mo Rao and looked at Qu Rou with a dark expression, his eyes filled with disdain.

Even if they offered a grand entrance for Rao Rao, she wouldn’t want it!

After Qu Rou reached out and took off her sunglasses with a pretentious expression, she sized up the set and walked towards Director Zheng.

“Hello, Director Zheng. I’m Qu Rou. Nice to meet you.”

Qu Rou said gently with a smile.

However, Director Zheng clearly didn’t fall for Qu Rou’s tricks. His expression was still ugly.

“This is the production team! It’s not a market! Why are you making such a fuss? Can’t you come in quietly? What are you doing with such a big fanfare?!”

Director Zheng didn’t like people who pulled strings to begin with. Now that Qu Rou had caused such a huge commotion and affected his filming, he was even angrier, so he vented his unhappiness.

Qu Rou didn’t expect Director Zheng to be so blunt. Yesterday, she had specifically gone to visit Director Zheng. Today, she followed her agent’s instructions and greeted Director Zheng nicely.

But Director Zheng’s attitude…

“Director Zheng, I didn’t cause that commotion. The assistant was also arranged by the company…”

“I know what’s going on. Since you’ve joined the production team, focus on acting. Don’t think too much about other things!” Director Zheng interrupted Qu Rou and turned to look at Mo Rao.

“Come, Rao Rao, let’s continue.”

After Mo Rao glanced at Qu Rou indifferently, shr nodded at Director Zheng, completely ignoring Qu Rou.

When the surrounding staff saw this, they lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.

When big shots butted heads, they would try to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Qu Rou watched the production team continue to get busy, as if they didn’t take her seriously at all. When she had just entered, she received many envious gazes, but now, these gazes had completely shifted to Mo Rao.

She was overcome with envy as she looked at Mo Rao, who was surrounded by people as she was filming.

This wasn’t the effect she wanted!

Qu Rou clenched her fists tightly. Her nails dug into her flesh, but she didn’t feel any pain.

Since no one paid attention to her, Qu Rou didn’t want to stay and suffer humiliation, so she left angrily.

After walking to a corner, Qu Rou took out her phone angrily and dialed her manager’s number.

After the call went through quickly, a woman’s voice sounded. “Aren’t you on set? Why are you calling me now?”

upon hearing her manager’s words, Qu Rou became even angrier.

“Didn’t you say that you’ve already appeased Director Zheng? Why was Director Zheng so rude to me today? He even embarrassed me in public?!”

When the manager heard Qu Rou’s accusation, his expression didn’t change at all and he asked calmly,

“What did you do after you went to the set?”
