Chapter 322: Slander in Public
Shen Sisi’s a.s.sistant followed Shen Sisi around all day long. Shen Sisi was highly dependent on her and gentle in front of others. She gave her all the good things. But Shen Sisi would insult her a.s.sistant and even abuse her when they were away from others. Everyone in this crew hated her a.s.sistant, yet she had to take care of Shen Sisi’s emotions carefully.
Shen Sisi’s a.s.sistant was about to break down.
“Everyone says that about you?” Shen Sisi covered her mouth in surprise. Her face was full of wonder as if that bewildered her.
“Yes!” Shen Sisi’s a.s.sistant nodded desperately. Tears rolled down her face. “So, can we stop all this nonsense? I’m also under a lot of pressure at work, we…”
“If other people hate you and say bad things about you, why don’t you consider if it’s because of you? Think about it carefully. Why are you so annoying?” Shen Sisi’s expression suddenly changed. She looked at her a.s.sistant without much empathy. She smiled. “work pressure? Everyone has work pressure. I’m offering you a highly paid salary, so you must work hard. If you can’t take this stress, don’t work. Stay home and depend on your parents!”
!!
“How could you say something like that?” Shen Sisi’s a.s.sistant looked at Shen Sisi in disbelief. Looking at Shen Sisi’s beautiful and pure face, she couldn’t say a word. She felt disappointed, and her entire body trembled. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks.
When she a.s.sisted Shen Sisi, she was responsible for completing all kinds of work. She was afraid Shen Sisi would be uncomfortable while filming, so she was always careful. The things she had done were already worth the salary she had received. But she thought, “But how could Shen Sisi say such a thing? Why was such a beautiful person’s mouth so vicious?”
“Why are you crying? Don’t cry. I’ll listen to you, alright?” Suddenly, Shen Sisi’s expression changed. She looked helpless as she wiped the tears away for her a.s.sistant. Then, she said to her a.s.sistant, “I was giving you an opinion. Why are you crying? Alright, I won’t talk about it anymore. From now on, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go talk to the director.”
The screenwriter happened to pa.s.s by. Seeing the situation, he stopped and asked, “What’s the matter now?” As he spoke, he stared at his a.s.sistant with an unfriendly gaze, wishing th could kill her with his gaze.
“It’s like this, Mr. Screenwriter. My a.s.sistant said that I shouldn’t film the scene of me falling into the mud,” Shen Sisi bit her lip and looked troubled. She continued embarra.s.sedly, “The a.s.sistant said that it’s too ugly and doesn’t fit my princess character. I…”
“I didn’t say that! I didn’t say that!” The a.s.sistant couldn’t take it anymore. She shouted, “stop slandering me! It’s you who don’t want to film. It’s none of my business!” She screamed and cried. She felt that she was embarra.s.sed, but she couldn’t control herself.
“Okay, okay, okay, don’t be angry. It wasn’t you who said it. It was me… I requested to change the scene,” Shen Sisi’s face filled with indulgence and compromise, and she quickly said to the scriptwriter, “it was me. I am sorry. It was me who didn’t want to shoot this scene. Alright… don’t cry anymore. I’ve already talked to the scriptwriter.” She coaxed her a.s.sistant in a low voice.
Shen Sisi said this on the surface to admit that she wanted to change the scene. But in the eyes of others, sh her a.s.sistant forced her to change her words
“Sisi, why are you so good-natured!” The scriptwriter couldn’t take it anymore. He scolded, “Your a.s.sistant is looking for trouble. She won’t do anything. Why are you still tolerating her? She’s about to step on your nose and replace you!”
“Mr. Scriptwriter, don’t say that,” Shen Sisi shook her head with a worried expression. She explained, “my a.s.sistant has been under much pressure at work recently. She said that the crew doesn’t like her and that everything she does is for my good. I hope that everyone won’t misunderstand her… It’s okay. It’s all my fault for wanting to change the scene. It was my fault in the past too. I hope everyone won’t hate my a.s.sistant in the future.”
Shen Sisi was a hypocrite. On the surface, she tried to help her a.s.sistant. But in fact, the more she wanted to cover it up, the more others would hate her a.s.sistant. The way everyone looked at the a.s.sistant became even more strange.
“No! I didn’t do anything,” The a.s.sistant cried until she was out of breath. She desperately tried to explain, but no one present believed her. An a.s.sistant who was always bossing the crew around and making people dislike her, and a pretty little princess with a gentle smile always used her money to buy milk tea for the crew… They would choose to believe the latter. The a.s.sistant covered her face in despair.
