Chapter 222: Stop Following Me
Translator: Zayn_
Zhu Jiao’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t understand why Zhong Jiayin would say that, and why her attitude was so distant and cold.
“Sister Zhong-”
“I don’t deserve to be called ‘sister’ by you.”
Zhong Jiayin scoffed. “Who knows if you’ll turn around and tell everyone that 1 have a bad temper right after you’re done flattering me?”
“One face on the surface, one behind the scenes, ha! Hypocrite!”
Zhu Jiao’s face turned pale.
However, she had just spoken loudly and attracted the attention of the rest of the crew.
If she denied Zhong Jiayin’s doubts, wouldn’t the people who heard her gossip behind her back think that she was two-faced?
Zhu Jiao recalled what she had said and quickly explained, “It’s not like that, Sister Zhong. 1 never said that you had a bad temper. 1 was just worried that someone might make you angry when you were in a bad mood, so I warned them in advance…”
“Miss Zhu,” Song Qingyou smiled. “If you say that every two or three days, isn’t that telling everyone that Teacher Zhong has a bad temper?”
“Don’t slander me! 1 didn’t mean that at all!”
Zhu Jiao raised her head and pointed at Song Qingyou. “You wanted to sow discord, so you spoke ill of me in front of Sister Zhong, didn’t you?”
Song Qingyou smiled without saying anything.
Zhu Jiao was eager to prove herself, so she said to Zhong Jiayin, “Sister Zhong, you can’t believe her words. She just joined the production team. How could she know if I’m talking about you behind your back…”
“Enough!”
Zhong Jiayin slapped her arm away. “Stop pointing at Song Qingyou. She didn’t say anything.”
“Don’t follow me anymore in the future, lest 1 get angry at you!”
Zhu Jiao opened her mouth in disbelief. “Sister Zhong…”
Zhong Jiayin ignored her and waved at her assistant in the crowd. “Xiao Zhao, the chairs here aren’t comfortable. Bring me the chairs from the car.”
The assistant left.
Zhu Jiao wasn’t willing to be ignored. She had been trying to please Zhong Jiayin for so long, and she couldn’t possibly get nothing out of it, not to mention being pointed at by everyone.
However, just as she was about to approach, Zhong Jiayin glared at her and Luo Hongqing came to the dressing room.
“Why are you all gathered here? If you have nothing to do, do you need me to find something for you?”
When Director Luo spoke, he immediately “dispersed” the staff members who were watching the show.
Then, Luo Hongqing said to the people in the dressing room, “The scriptwriter has added a new role. There are very few scenes. I’ve already found an actor. Let me introduce him to you.”
With that, he turned around and waved. “Xiao Yu, come over for a moment.”
Song Qingyou and the others looked at the door.
The next moment, Yu Muhuai appeared in front of them.
Due to the need to shoot the MV and the event, he had dyed his blond hair and wore a blue-gray earring on his left ear. He no longer looked as gentle as he usually did. Instead, he looked a little unruly.
“Let me introduce you. Yu Muhuai, the singer of the theme song for our movie this time. He’s also a guest star for a new character.”
“Xiao Yu, do you need me to introduce anyone else to you?”
“No need to trouble Director Luo. 1 know all the seniors.” Yu Muhuai smiled and winked at Song Qingyou.
While he was greeting Zhong Jiayin and Fu Chen politely, Zhao Yingnan took the opportunity to complain, “Even if you sing well, you’ll have to act well. Yu Muhuai even passed Director Luo’s audition. He’ll definitely be able to act in television dramas and movies in the future. Looks like I have to work hard too!”
If she was surpassed in her own field by a junior, then all her years as an actress would have been in vain.
“Is his new album selling particularly well?” Song Qingyou asked curiously.
Although Jiang Xuyan and Yu Muhuai had collaborated on a lot of songs and Song Qingyou had listened to them and bought a few albums, she didn’t pay attention to the subsequent developments and related data.
She didn’t expect Luo Hongqing to choose to collaborate with Yu Muhuai on the movie theme song.
After all, the theme songs of Luo Hongqing’s previous movies were basically sung by Heavenly Kings and Queens.
“Qingyou, you really don’t pay attention to the news of the music industry.” Zhao Yingnan said.
“Yu Muhuai’s new album is selling like hotcakes. It broke the sales record in three days. Six of the top ten songs on the music chart are his new songs…This album will probably win a lot of awards.”
All in all, Yu Muhuai was now an upstart in the music industry and was only one step away from becoming an A-list singer.
This step was very easy for Yu Muhuai.
Because most of the music industry nowadays was filled with saliva songs. The era of gods fighting had long passed. Other than some old seniors who were still active in the music industry, Yu Muhuai could be considered the only seedling of this era…
“It sounds like he has a limitless future ahead of him,” Song Qingyou said with a smile.
“Of course. Otherwise, Director Luo wouldn’t have-”
“Qingyou, Sister Yingnan, what are you whispering about?” Yu Muhuai walked closer. “Can I join?”
Song Qingyou nodded at him.
“Long time no see.”
Zhao Yingnan turned around and looked at him. “We were talking about the sales of your new album. We said that you’re amazing.”
“I was just lucky,” Yu Muhuai said modestly.
“Real sales are not just luck.”
The three of them often chatted in the group.
Even if they rarely met, it was impossible for them to be distant.
After a while, the three of them were chatting and laughing.
Zhu Jiao, who was watching from a distance, had a dark look in her eyes.
However, she quickly calmed down and went to apologize to Zhong Jiayin with a smile.
Anyway, she didn’t say that Zhong Jiayin had a bad temper. She just had to deny that she had bad intentions.
Besides, Zhong Jiayin had a bad temper to begin with. She had served her for so long, so what if she complained to others?
Zhu Jiao thought that Zhong Jiayin would listen to her explanation and forgive her sooner or later, but she didn’t expect Zhong Jiayin to be someone who couldn’t tolerate sand in her eyes.
No matter what she said, Zhong Jiayin wouldn’t listen.
In the end, she found her annoying, so she asked the makeup artist to bring her makeup to her personal lounge and directly refused Zhu Jiao’s entry.
Zhu Jiao returned to the makeup room of the production team. Along the way, she received countless gazes from the onlookers.
She gritted her teeth, thinking that all of this was Song Qingyou’s fault.
Otherwise, how could she be so unlucky when Song Qingyou joined the crew and nothing happened to her?
Zhu Jiao was furious. She looked at the cat sitting on the chair with hostility and reached out to push it.
“It’s just a cat. Even if it fell to its death, would Song Qingyou still bother me?”
However, Jiang Zhihan was very alert and quickly dodged.
Song Qingyou and the other two immediately looked over.
“What are you looking at?” Zhu Jiao shouted angrily. “1 want to sit on this chair, can’t I?”
She wiped the cat fur on the cushion and sat down.
The moment she was about to sit down, Jiang Zhihan pushed the chair to the side.
“Ouch!” Zhu Jiao fell to the ground and grimaced in pain.
The others in the dressing room were stunned for a moment before they lowered their heads and laughed.
Song Qingyou held back her laughter and scooped up her cat, lecturing it seriously, Even if you are not careful, you can’t push it, you know?”
“Meow-” The cat’s response was extremely perfunctory.
Zhu Jiao reached out towards the makeup artist closest to her: “What are you laughing at? Pull me up quickly!”
