Chapter 806: Only Apologizing to Polite People

Editor: Henyee Translations        *

The hot weather really didn’t make one feel good.

Especially the staff members who were on the production team. Most of the time, they had to bear the sun and cooperate with the director to change the venue at any time.

It was very difficult to move the rigid and heavy equipment. It made people, who were already frustrated by the heat, become more unhappy and dissatisfied.

“Is there a need to pull us all out just to film such a formality…”

A few people were secretly complaining, but because of the director’s authority, no one dared to say anything loudly. They sulked and went about their work.

“Sister An Nuo, why don’t you rest too? I remember that the filming will only start in 20 minutes.”

The a.s.sistant holding an umbrella for An Nuo looked worriedly at An Nuo, who was still staring at the script. He looked around at the group of people and still wanted to find a place to settle down.

An Nuo waved her hand. “It’s fine. Just go back to the car and wait for me. It’s easier for me to enter the state of mind after basking in the sun.”

This scene was meant to film some emotions after being exposed to the sun An Nuo was standing under the umbrella now and was actually hindered because of it.

Her style of acting had always been dutiful. Before filming, she tried her best to stimulate her emotions so that she could save everyone the trouble.

How could the a.s.sistant be willing to leave just like that? She raised her umbrella and stood beside An Nuo. She simply stopped talking and planned to accompany her to wait for the next few minutes to pa.s.s. In the end, she saw the manager walking over from afar and came over to give her a look, asking her to leave first.

An Nuo had clearly heard the sound of the manager coming over. She looked up and met the manager’s gaze, so the two of them moved to another place to talk. Why did you come over to look for me at this time?” An Nuo looked at her manager in surprise.

Usually, when she was on set, her manager rarely disturbed her. This time was an exception.

The manager looked behind her and only spoke softly after confirming that no one was following.

“You know the male lead in the production team this time, right?” The other party suddenly mentioned this, making An Nuo a little confused.

However, An Nuo still nodded. At the same time, she searched her mind for her impression of that actor.

He was probably the type that young girls liked very much. Previously, he was an idol. She only knew that the other party was planning to transition into an actor through this drama, but she didn’t remember much else.

The manager seemed to be choosing his words carefully and was a little hesitant, but he still said, “What do you think if he wants to cook up a couple pairing image with you…”

Before she could finish speaking, she was rejected by An Nuo with a frown.

“You know me, I’ve never liked to do this kind of thing.”

When An Nuo heard her manager mention this, she immediately shook her head.

She just wanted to act. She had never considered using this kind of clout, let alone the fact that she still had someone she liked in her heart.

If they formed a couple pairing image, there might be a bunch of fans from various families mixed together on the Internet. It would be troublesome to deal with them later.

What’s more, although the popularity of a couple pairing was novel and they could obtain a lot of fans and traffic, if they didn’t handle it well later, it would inevitably backfire on them.

“Are you really not going to consider it?” the manager asked tentatively. “I don’t think it’s a big deal. In any case, I’m not asking you to fall in love.”

Compared to An Nuo’s focus on acting, the manager’s thoughts were more inclined towards the entertainment industry itself.

In her opinion, An Nuo’s career was currently flourishing, so there was nothing wrong with using more methods to promote this process.

However, some things had to be done step by step. An Nuo knew this very well, so she still shook her head firmly under her manager’s probing gaze.

The manager had always respected An Nuo’s opinion. Seeing her att.i.tude, she made up her mind.

“Alright, I’ll reject the other party on this matter.” She made the decision very quickly.

To put it bluntly, An Nuo didn’t really need these things like the other female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

She was a rich young lady who came to act and it was just her personal hobby.

The manager was also open-minded, so after asking An Nuo, she turned around and left.

After An Nuo finished speaking to the other party, she planned to return to the production team. After all, she had been delayed for so long. Although she had already remembered the script in her heart, she still planned to go back and make some preparations before filming.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around and was about to go back, she met the supporting actress in this drama, Dong Jiaran.

Why didn t you make a sound when you walked!”

She was clearly the one standing there and didn’t give way when she saw An

Nuo coming over. In the end, when An Nuo stopped in her tracks, she complained first.

Hearing the other party’s confident tone, An Nuo frowned. She didn’t want to tangle with this person anymore, so she was about to turn around and take a detour. Before she could take a step out, Dong Jiaran, who had seen through her intentions, turned around and blocked her path.

Dong Jiaran raised her hand, and her gaze landed on her uncomfortably. “You don’t even apologize when you almost b.u.mped into someone? You’re really rude.”

“I only apologize to polite people.” An Nuo smiled.

Dong Jiaran clearly didn’t expect An Nuo to suddenly retort, so she was stunned.

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was in a daze, An Nuo raised her feet and left.

In the next second, Dong Jiaran realized that she had been scolded and wanted to chase after the other party angrily. However, when she saw An Nuo approaching the director, she had no choice but to give up on this thought. However, she had nowhere to vent her anger, so in the end, she could only kick the wooden box beside her. Seeing the props scattered on the ground, she had no intention of reaching out to pick them up.

“She’s just a rich young lady. She really thinks that she’s good at acting,” she muttered, not letting anyone around hear her.

However, Dong Jiaran’s unconvinced feeling towards An Nuo became even stronger.

“Jiaran, are you ready? It’s your turn for the next scene.” Not far away, a makeup artist called her name, clearly wanting to help her prepare her makeup.

This time, Dong Jiaran didn’t have time to lose her temper.

When An Nuo returned, the timing was just right. It was exactly five minutes before filming started. After reading the script one last time, she followed the director’s voice and stood in her position. Opposite her was the male lead of this drama, Yan Junning.

Please guide me.” The other party was very polite and said before filming started.

Seeing this, An Nuo could only nod in response. Then, she put on an expression and movements that indicated to the director that she was ready.

We’re ready to start filming. This weather will pa.s.s soon. Don’t waste time.”

The director’s amplified voice through the loudspeaker spread across the field, enough to reach everyone’s ears.

“She just relied on her ident.i.ty to enter…”

Standing in the crowd and watching An Nuo stand in the middle of the venue like the moon surrounded by stars, a wave of jealousy surged in Dong Jiaran’s heart and spread throughout her body.

She was clearly not much worse off and had been in the entertainment industry for longer than An Nuo, but the director chose the other party.

Moreover—

Dong Jiaran bit her lip and her gaze landed on An Nuo’s back. She secretly shifted to the side and looked at Yan Junning opposite An Nuo with hidden and sweet feelings.

If not for An Nuo, she would be the one filming with Yan Junning now..
