Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Unbuttoning the First Button of the Black Trench Coat...

Help!

Shi Su: "..."

That day she just posted something on Moments on a whim, like a joke.

"Aren’t you surprised to find out that not only am I fine, but I just kicked a shameless pursuer out the door?"

Jing Jihan: "I’m very surprised."

Shi Su reconsidered this man who claimed to be surprised yet remained expressionless: "I couldn’t tell."

As she spoke, she mimicked his deadpan expression and tone: "I’m very surprised."

Jing Jihan laughed silently, then pointed outside the door: "What happened just now?"

"Nothing, just a lunatic sent by who knows who to ruin my reputation, but he’s been driven away."

"Don’t just open the door to anyone from now on." Jing Jihan reminded her of a single woman’s awareness: "Especially this late at night."

"So by letting you in now, am I inviting the wolf into the house?"

Jing Jihan raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes falling on her freshly washed face, still without a touch of moisturizer, and suddenly stepped closer to where he was just half a meter away, undoing a button on his black coat.

"What kind of wolf am I?"

Shi Su: "..."

The man looked down at her from above, making direct eye contact.

This man was indeed too tall, and as she was only wearing the hotel room’s slippers, she had to tilt her head up, quickly stepping back a few centimeters cautiously.

Her face inexplicably tightened; she coughed: "You are... that..."

Jing Jihan looked at her, the darkness in his eyes unchanged.

"Ah, you are... a wolf..." Shi Su suddenly turned her head and boldly sang a line: "A wolf from the North, wandering in the vast wilderness~"

She glanced at him and noticed he was clearly enjoying her awkward performance, without the slightest trace of disdain.

Shi Su cleared her throat and continued singing: "The harsh wind blows over, the endless yellow sands sweep past, you can only bite your cold teeth, let out two long roars, for no other reason, but for that~"

She grinned at Jing Jihan, took a big step back, and made a bowing gesture to conclude her act: "For that legendary beautiful grassland~"

After singing, Shi Su gave herself some face by clapping her hands: "Ha, such a nostalgic song, I wonder if our gold sponsor has heard it before, forgive my poor performance, forgive me!"

Jing Jihan’s sneer carried a hint of a look as if he was seeing an idiot, gave her a cold glance, and then noticed the towel wrapped around her head: "Dry your hair, get some rest, if you keep howling, forget a wolf from the North, you’ll attract wolves from abroad."

Once his words fell, the man took off his coat and casually hung it on his arm, as if his eyes got stung by her performance, he stopped looking at her and turned to walk out.

Shi Su looked him up and down for a moment, not understanding why he’d take off his coat if he was about to leave?

Until the tall man opened the door to the room opposite hers.

Shi Su: "..."

Great, the culprit responsible for having her use intermittent cold water to wash her hair for two days straight since she couldn’t switch rooms has been found.

Tong Yuanyuan had been more well-behaved these past two days, possibly because even the director couldn’t stand her acting and urged her acting teacher to put in more effort. Though her NG count was still high during filming, it was at least much better than at the start.

Moreover, quite a few passersby and fans were keeping a close eye on their crew’s news on Weibo, and now no one dared to be too disrespectful towards Shi Su.

Especially since Shi Su’s assistant and manager often, inadvertently, held up cameras and phones to capture behind-the-scenes shots, no one dared to disrespect Shi Su.

But this turned out to be a good thing for the crew’s overall atmosphere, as it gave everyone from the director to all the production groups and staff the reason to work seriously, without having to consider the hints from the Jin Family.

Tong Yuanyuan also learned this trick, frequently having her assistant hold a camera by her side, snapping away, but no matter how much they tried, they couldn’t catch any incriminating shots of Shi Su.

Shi Su’s acting was solid, offering no points worthy of ridicule, and after wrapping up for the day, she’d return to the car, close the door, blocking all views, leaving nothing to capture. During break times and while talking with the director about the scenes, Shi Su quietly stood by nodding and taking notes in her script, showing neither arrogance nor scheming. No matter how Tong Yuanyuan’s assistant photographed her, all they ended up with were shots of Shi Su working earnestly from every angle, with nothing worth posting against her.

Tong Yuanyuan was so angry she almost exploded, unable to hold it any longer and wanted to seize the chance to mock Shi Su for a problematic camera angle during a scene on set, only to find Shi Su’s expression was as submissive as ever, flawless. On seeing Shi Su’s assistant raising the camera in the distance, Tong Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, finding herself unable to utter a single word, storming off in anger.

If only Shi Su really had an obedient nature, but she didn’t!

Chu Jiu, from a distance, raised the camera, giving a thumbs up in Shi Su’s direction, meaning that the green tea index in Shi Su’s photoshoots had risen several notches again, truly admirable!

Yet surprisingly, this trick really worked.

That time, while still lying in the hospital on a drip, Shi Su once said to effectively deal with a green tea like Tong Yuanyuan, neither tough nor complete avoidance worked, the most effective way was to be even more green tea than her!

The next afternoon, the crew’s shooting schedule was suddenly interrupted.

After letting everyone wrap up, the director announced: "Z City has been developed into a tourist city by Jiang City. Our current filming site is a famous resort villa here. Recently, leaders from Jiang City’s Construction Bureau and notable figures from business and government are coming to Z City for an inspection. Although filming in the resort is banned during these days, our producer is somewhat acquainted with some Jiang City leaders, and they’ve invited our crew to take a holiday break in the villa and enjoy the scenic beauty of Z City together!"

All the crew members were ecstatic, from main actors to extras, everyone was delighted.

From the start of shooting until now, it had only been a few days, but everyone felt as if they’d been strained white haired. This unexpected two-day vacation and a ready-made resort with beautiful scenery was beyond delightful to imagine.

Just as the director finished informing them, the vehicles carrying Jiang City’s leaders began arriving near the resort villa.

Jiang City being one of the top cities in the country, each leader holding office in their municipal institutions is no simple person, let alone the bigwigs from commerce and government accompanying them.

Besides the officials from Z City and the resort district managers here, only their crew members were present. Although it wasn’t a scene like citizens avoiding the emperor’s arrival, it surely could be described as a warm welcome.
