Chapter 406: Chapter 406 - 400: Who Would Have Thought Jing Jihan Would Ever...

Shi Su nodded perfunctorily, not having much to say to the energetic eighteen-year-old girl.

Ami looked at her skeptically, "You better keep your word, or I’ll have my second cousin blacklist you."

Seeing Shi Su unresponsive, Ami continued, "Do you know who my second cousin is?"

Shi Su knew, but did not want to engage further, simply saying, "No, I don’t."

"I’ve been on set for several days, and you still don’t know my background?" Ami blocked Shi Su’s path with excitement, "My second cousin is the boss of Jiang Jing Ru Hua, Jing Luozhou! My eldest cousin is even more impressive! He also has the surname Jing. Impressive, right?"

Shi Su: "...Very impressive."

Chu Jiu: "....."

Seeing Shi Su’s completely inexperienced demeanor, Ami felt satisfied and nodded, "Good to know. Just keep away from my male idol, or I’ll have them blacklist you."

Chu Jiu’s mouth twitched despite himself.

Shi Su stifled a laugh, "Alright, I understand, little one. May I return to the car now?"

Hearing this, Ami looked at her again and then suspiciously at the assistant beside her, "Why are you two laughing?"

"No, you saw wrong. I just finished filming two scenes and I’m very tired. I want to go rest and chat another time," Shi Su finished speaking and quickly went into the RV.

After entering the car with her, Chu Jiu let out a long sigh, obviously holding back, "Childish brat! This little girl with bleached blonde hair from South Korea, if it weren’t for her family’s connections, Mr. Li wouldn’t have allowed her in and given her screen time and lines. Let her be an extra for a few years and she’ll understand how harsh the world is."

Shi Su curled her lips, seeming unconcerned, "She’s just returned to the country and doesn’t know much about the domestic scene?"

"Not only doesn’t she know, she’s completely clueless. At most, she knows a bit about Wei Sinan, knows about the CP fans between you two, which is why she’s always been hostile towards you. But in South Korea, with daily rehearsals, she probably never had time to dig into your affairs and knows next to nothing about you."

"No wonder."

Chu Jiu guessed correctly; Ami really didn’t understand Shi Su’s situation.

In the afternoon, this little girl suddenly ran over again and knocked on the RV door, slipped inside like an eel, and clung to Shi Su’s arm chattering, "I asked so many people in the crew and just found out that you’re married and have a daughter! I’ll take back what I said this morning, it was a misunderstanding! I apologize!"

Shi Su looked at the hands suddenly wrapping around her and her forehead twitched, "No need to apologize, as long as there’s no misunderstanding, we can all get along peacefully on set afterward..."

"But I’m still curious about how you and my male idol interact usually. I definitely plan to stick around you more in the future. Since you’re not interested in him, I won’t bother my second cousin! Let’s speak openly, I just came back to China and don’t have any friends yet, you don’t mind gaining one more friend, right?"

Shi Su: "?"

Little friend, what kind of logic is that?

From rivals in the morning to friends in the afternoon?

This is too... abrupt!

"To show my sincerity, I’ll tell you a secret. Although you might have guessed it, but just in case you didn’t~" Ami leaned in and whispered into Shi Su’s ear, "You’re gaining a friend that’s absolutely worth it! You’ll never be embarrassed with me around! My eldest cousin is Jing Jihan, the one from Yu Jing Group, the legendary head of the Jing Family, nicknamed the ’Ancient Tomb Sect’s stoic heir’ Mr. Jing! Many people can’t even get to see him!"

Shi Su: "..."

Is eighteen always this unruly?

If Shi Mianmian grows up to be like this, Shi Su would be the first to break her legs.

Ami, still clinging to Shi Su’s arm, said, "Though I don’t have much chance to see him either, only a few times throughout my childhood, but if I ask my mom to help appeal for something, he might give her some face. So you see, more friends mean more opportunities, in the entertainment industry, I can watch your back!"

Chu Jiu couldn’t hold back anymore, "May I ask how many scenes you have in this movie? How exactly are you going to watch her back? With your fewer than five lines combined?"

Ami turned and glared at Chu Jiu, not wanting to engage with her. Chu Jiu rolled her eyes in return.

Within just a few minutes, Shi Su struggled with the script in hand, leaving the RV amid the constant eye-rolling atmosphere between the two.

The fresh air outside feels great!

The evening’s scene required special effects with a green screen, also involving a night rain scene.

It seamlessly linked the earlier punishment scene in the script, wearing that cheongsam with a long slit on the side again.

Shi Su ran through the artificial rain curtain over a dozen times, either because the rain didn’t cooperate well, the extras were late on cue, or the actor doing the opposing scene couldn’t keep their eyes open in the rain and deliver their lines emotionally correctly.

This filming was a bit tough, and only in the evening, they finally got it right.

Shi Su was drenched from head to toe and didn’t care about how disheveled she looked, particularly running over to the director to see the replay of the footage.

Suddenly, a production assistant beside her whispered mysteriously, "Mr. Jing is here."

Shi Su heard it but didn’t pay much attention, assuming it was Jing Luozhou, as he was also a ’Mr.’ after all.

Another production assistant quietly asked, "Mr. Jing, huh? He’s on good terms with the director and producer, their company invested in the movie, it’s normal for him to visit, right?"

"Not Mr. Jing, it’s Mr. Jing from Yu Jing Group..."

The air abruptly fell silent, even Mr. Li, who was reviewing the footage, immediately turned his head, "Who?"

The director first asked Shi Su.

Because Shi Su was standing close, if he misheard, then Shi Su should have misheard as well; he clearly...was seeking confirmation from Shi Su as to whether his ears were playing tricks on him.

Shi Su paused for a moment before she turned back and asked, "...Which Mr. Jing? Jing Jihan?"

"Yes, yes, that’s him!"

Mr. Li was surprised, "Did he come with Mr. Jing?"

"No, I didn’t see Mr. Jing, it appears Mr. Jing came alone, just with an assistant driving, no one else in the car, earlier when I went out to get props, I saw Mr. Jing’s car drive directly into the set," the production assistant said, pointing outside the green screen studio.

Mr. Li found it very strange, given Jing Jihan’s usual conduct, he never gets involved in entertainment industry affairs.

It’s already challenging enough to see him in formal occasions, meeting him at the opening press conference was remarkable, who would’ve expected Jing Jihan would have a day appearing on set.

Mr. Li asked, "Did Mr. Jing mention the reason for his visit? What’s he here for?"

"I don’t know, I just caught a fleeting glimpse before I came in to deliver props, haven’t been outside since..." the production assistant scratched his head, looking innocent.
