Late

When Director Zheng saw Mo Rao, he thought of the dirty rumors Mo Yuan had said to him yesterday and looked at Mo Rao with pity.

Fortunately, Mo Rao didn’t know. Otherwise, how sad would she be?

Thinking of this, Director Zheng smiled at Mo Rao kindly.

“I have something to say. Find a seat and sit down. After I’m done, we’ll start filming.”

Mo Rao glanced at the staff standing around and nodded at Director Zheng. “Alright, I understand.”

However, she didn’t choose to sit down. Instead, she stood not far from Director Zheng.

When Director Zheng saw this, his impression of Mo Rao improved.

After Mo Rao came to the set, the other actors also walked in one after another.

Seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but feel nervous.

When the alarm clock set by Director Zheng rang at seven o’clock, Director Zheng glanced at the people around him and said to the stage manager, “See who hasn’t arrived.”

The stage manager responded and went to get busy.

At this moment, Director Zheng walked to Mo Rao’s side.

“Why are you here so early today?”

Today, he deliberately woke up early, so this was the first time he found out when these staff and actors came to the production team.

Yesterday, he had already said that everyone had to be present before 6:50 p.m. for today’s scene. After that, he sent another message to get everyone to come over early. However, only Mo Rao was the first to arrive among the actors, even earlier than some of the staff.

How could a director not like such a famous yet down-to-earth actress who followed the production team’s rules?

Mo Rao smiled humbly. “I came to see if I could get my makeup done early and practice today’s scenes first.”

Hearing Mo Rao’s words, Director Zheng nodded in appreciation and approval.

While Director Zheng and Mo Rao were talking, the production team leader finally gathered the list of people who had come to the production team.

“Who else isn’t here?” Director Zheng asked with an unfathomable expression.

The production team leader looked at Director Zheng cautiously. “Other than a few staff members, only Qu Rou hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Qu Rou?” Director Zheng repeated.

The stage manager nodded.

Director Zheng snorted and waved his hand to let the stage manager leave.

He called the assistant director over. “Get Qu Rou here! What time is it now?! Why isn’t Qu Rou here yet?!”

The assistant director called Qu Rou in fear and trepidation, but the call didn’t go through. The assistant director broke out in cold sweat.

When Director Zheng looked at the assistant director, who looked troubled, he understood.

“No one picked up?” Director Zheng frowned.

The assistant director nodded. “Then call her manager directly. Tell Qu Rou to come to the production team before 7:20!”

Director Zheng raised his voice. It was obvious that he was angry.

When the surrounding people saw Director Zheng acting like this, the bad feeling in their hearts intensified.

Under Director Zheng’s urging, Qu Rou finally arrived at the production team before 7:20 pm. She looked anxious and there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.

When she arrived at the production team, she first glanced at Mo Rao, who was standing beside Director Zheng. She snorted disdainfully before looking at Director Zheng.

“Director Zheng, why are you in such a hurry? My phone was switched off previously, so I didn’t hear your call. I’m really sorry.”

As she spoke, she even bowed slightly to Director Zheng.

Mo Rao stood beside Director Zheng. Seeing that Qu Rou was completely unaware, Mo Rao smiled to herself.

“Can’t you come to the production team early even if there’s nothing going on?” Director Zheng said with a dark expression. “I said yesterday that we have to arrive on set before seven o’clock. What were you doing?!”

Qu Rou’s expression froze for a moment. She looked at the staff around her, who were not as busy as before, and finally realized that something was wrong today.

Qu Rou looked up carefully and sized up Director Zheng’s expression. “Director Zheng, last night, I…”
