The Scandalous Actress Needs to Strive GL - Chapter 20

Jin Wen looked at Yu Baishu, who was suddenly looking bewildered, and casually teased, “What is it, who has given our Assistant Yu a tough problem this time? Do you need sister’s help with anything?”

She wasn’t worried. Instead, she was grateful to Yu Baishu for assigning Qiu Wan, the boss’s wife who seemed like a big trouble but was actually a safety net to her.

With this, why compete for the title of “Gold Medal Manager”? She had already won on the grounds of status alone. Would President Mu not spare any effort to promote her own significant other, especially when the other half was a rare talent?

Yu Baishu scoffed, her expression arrogant, “If I can’t understand it, you certainly won’t.” It wasn’t that she looked down on anyone, but if anyone knew the boss’s thoughts best in the whole company, she was second to none.

“Oh? Is that so? Then I really must learn,” Jin Wen leaned in. The two had known each other for almost ten years. Although they weren’t close friends, they were well-acquainted old friends, so they often acted casually with each other.

After seeing the content on the phone screen, her eyes lit up. She picked up her own phone and looked at the live broadcast, which was still recording. It really was a case of “speak of the devil and he shall appear.”

She had thought Qiu Wan had brought enough phones, but she couldn’t be reached after entering the filming set. She had planned to send someone to deliver a spare phone, but the solution arrived just as she was about to doze off. Wasn’t this a readily available person? Although she would have to wait a while, there was no urgent matter. As long as she kept an eye on the live broadcast, she believed nothing would go wrong with Qiu Wan.

Yu Baishu watched the person who was deep in thought, nodding one moment and giving a wicked smile the next, feeling the hairs on her body stand on end. She pushed Jin Wen, “If you can’t figure it out, forget it. I’ll just ask the President. Why are you making such a scary face?”

“Kiddo, I told you, you should go fall in love. Do you still need to ask about a problem like this to understand? It seems Assistant Yu’s efficiency is not that great,” Jin Wen raised an eyebrow. The 35 year-old woman exuded mature charm, and every smile and gesture carried a unique allure.

Unfortunately, the utterly unimpressed Yu Baishu, whose face was turning black, adjusted her glasses and controlled her temper, correcting, “I told you, don’t call me ‘kiddo’ at the company, not anytime. I’m already 30.”

“Okay, kiddo, sister will definitely pay attention next time. Let’s talk about business first,” Jin Wen smiled perfunctorily. Looking at the slightly annoyed person, she sighed inwardly, feeling that she was truly getting old, to find this 30 year-old “old woman” somewhat cute. Time spares no one.

“Speak. I hope you really understand,” Yu Baishu suppressed her rising anger, silently chanting, Don’t bother with this old woman. I am the dignified President’s Chief Assistant. Don’t stoop to this old woman’s level.

Jin Wen retracted her teasing tone, her expression becoming more serious, “The list of amateur guests naturally refers to the list for the show Qiu Wan is participating in. As for ‘consultation,’ perhaps President Mu wants to be one of the members on the list. The show’s positioning for amateur guests is ‘top performers in certain industries.’ I think in our circle, Mu’s Entertainment should be the undisputed top management company, right? So you need to contact them quickly. If the guest list is finalized, our President Mu might start doubting your work ability.”

“Is that so?” Yu Baishu subconsciously retorted, but her body was honest and immediately went to find the contact information for the show’s production team. Although somewhat reluctant, she had to admit that Jin Wen’s analysis was probably correct. She had been slow to react and hadn’t thought of this point. The person who could make the President express herself so implicitly must be Qiu Wan. After all, it wasn’t the first or second time. Alas, women in love are not clear enough in their speech.

After obtaining the tentative list of amateur guests, the second person was Miss Zhou’s second daughter, the President’s good sister. The third person had also been confirmed as a survival expert. The fourth was a luxury designer, and the fifth was a calligrapher. Only the last spot was still being negotiated.

To prevent mistakes, she still confirmed with her President before suggesting participation: President Mu, this is the current negotiated guest list. Would you like to join as the last person?

President Mu: The second one.

Yu Baishu: This… Miss Zhou has already communicated with the production team.

President Mu: Communicate in her way. Double.

Communicate in her way? Yu Baishu looked at the message, pondered for three seconds, and then tentatively contacted the production team. Sure enough, Zhou Lanlan was originally scheduled for the fifth spot, but this Miss Zhou had used sponsorship to move herself to the second spot.

She subtly expressed that Mu’s was willing to add double the original sponsorship. The production team was not hesitant and readily agreed. However, the Zhou family didn’t back down either. They suggested that they could both be the guests for the second and third filming locations, filming four episodes together. This way, the production team wouldn’t have to contact other guests, as the roster would be full at six people.

Mu Qingchen looked at the one sided messages sent to her phone:

Zhou Lanlan: Qingchen, why are you going to this kind of show?

Zhou Lanlan: Qingchen, is it because of that woman?

Zhou Lanlan: Qingchen, are you afraid I’ll make things difficult for her?

Zhou Lanlan: Qingchen, I’m doing this for your own good. She’s not worthy of you.

Zhou Lanlan: Qingchen, I won’t withdraw. We can just go together.

President Mu rubbed her temples, feeling slightly weary. She hadn’t originally intended to make things difficult for the production team. The sixth spot or the second spot was fine. But because of Zhou Lanlan’s words, she changed her mind.

She knew without a doubt that if Zhou Lanlan went, she would surely make things difficult for Qiu Wan, and if any negative rumors arose on a live broadcast program in front of thousands of viewers, it would be difficult to clear them up.

She was momentarily lost in thought, a rare occurrence for her, and then replied to Yu Baishu: Agree to it. Arrange the time.

Yu Baishu President, wake up. These are two filming locations and four episodes, not just one or two days, and she has to rush to City B immediately.

With such a long period of time, she felt like she was going bald, but there was no choice. Everything that could be postponed was postponed. Being an assistant, especially Mu’s assistant, dealing with sudden situations was a basic requirement.

After the itinerary was arranged, Mu Qingchen specially prepared two spare phones. She would have to hand over her own phone then, and it would be bad if the company couldn’t be reached.

However, after arriving at the filming location and handing over her own phone, as soon as she met Qiu Wan, our President Mu walked over with a straight face and said what she thought was a very natural sentence: “I brought two spare phones. I’ll give you one later.”

Qiu Wan: “…”

Where did this kindergarten child come from? Couldn’t she have waited until no one was around to say it privately?

Bullet screen comments: !!!!!!!!

What kind of ethereal beauty is this

What kind of contrast is this

Ah, I want to have monkeys with Mu Qingchen

The production team: What should we do? Should we take it? The live broadcast is on. Let’s take it, and we can just give it back later tonight.

So, President Mu froze for two seconds and obediently handed over the spare phones, her ears quietly turning red. She had actually made a mistake in front of this woman. She had only said it so quickly because Jin Wen had asked her to. She absolutely had no intention of seeking credit.

Next to them, two steps behind, Zhou Lanlan gritted her teeth. Looking at Mu Qingchen, who had naturally walked to Qiu Wan’s side, she leaned over and hooked her arm through Mu Qingchen’s, saying, “I want to be in the same group as Qingchen.”

“According to the show’s rules, amateur guests must be paired with one of the resident guests. Please, Miss Zhou, do not break the rules.” Mu Qingchen pulled out her arm, the coldness in her face deepening, and her words were devoid of warmth.

Zhou Lanlan’s forced smile cracked slightly. She glanced at the cameras in every direction and forcefully suppressed her anger to save face, “My fault. I haven’t seen Qingchen in a long time, and I was so happy that I forgot the show’s rules. Then I’ll team up with this lady.”

She gave Li He a look, implying that he should try to wedge himself between those two, but she forgot the frank personality of the lady beside her.

Lai Su watched their interaction with disinterest. What “top performer in certain industries”? Mu Qingchen barely counts. Who is this Zhou Lanlan? She even called me ‘this lady.’

She stepped aside, showing no mercy, “Sorry, I don’t like teaming up with a vase.”

Holy crap, Sister Lai Su is so blunt

Speaking of which, this Zhou Lanlan is quite pretty, but Mu Qingchen is even prettier/

The CEO of Mu’s Entertainment and the Vice President of Zhou’s Entertainment.

There’s a show to watch

Why do I feel like Mu Qingchen isn’t giving Zhou Lanlan any face? There’s a story there

President Mu is indeed involved with Qiu Wan. I’m shipping this divine pairing.

On the scene, the smile that Zhou Lanlan had managed to maintain cracked again. Does this woman have a problem? I’m the second daughter of Zhou’s Entertainment. Does she still want to stay in the entertainment industry?

Her smile finally gave out. She walked towards Li He with a cold face, thinking that she must blacklist this woman when she returned a woman as annoying as Qiu Wan.

Li He was originally organizing his words on how to join Qiu Wan’s group. Now there were three artists and two guests, so one group would inevitably have three people. If he could leave a good impression on Mu Qingchen, or perhaps even become the son-in-law of Mu’s, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

However, as soon as this unrealistic thought emerged, he saw Miss Zhou, the second daughter, whose expression was out of control after being rejected by Lai Su, walking toward him. He quickly put on his signature smile, “It’s an honor to be in a group with Miss Zhou.”

Zhou Lanlan, who was in a fit of pique, merely glanced at him expressionlessly and then looked elsewhere in a huff. Li He’s smile stiffened slightly. He couldn’t help but inwardly criticize, This pampered young lady really doesn’t know better. Doesn’t she know that showing a bad attitude on a live broadcast show attracts a lot of negative attention? Fortunately, she wasn’t in the entertainment industry, or she would have been yelled at by fans long ago.

However, even though Zhou Lanlan wasn’t in the entertainment industry, by giving the popular male group leader a cold shoulder, his fans wouldn’t let her off the hook. For example, the bullet screen comments at this time were almost entirely dominated by Li He’s fans.

Being a VP is so great? How dare you give our Oppa the cold shoulder

Li He, quickly terminate your contract. Zhou’s must be having a hard time

Crowdfund for Li He’s contract termination. Zhou Lanlan, get out of the program group
