80: Chapter 81: Identity Exposure (1)
The room fell silent in an instant, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Everyone could tell that Jiang Xuanqi had taken a dislike to this little assistant, and was she preparing to discipline her?
—Was it because, a few days ago, the most important kissing scene was performed by Jian Anning in her stead.
And in the end, the act turned real when she actually kissed Yu Zexiao?
During these days, Jian Anning’s reputation in the film crew had been exceptionally good.
She never used her position as Yu Zexiao’s assistant to cause trouble.
She spoke and acted methodically, and even when she kissed Yu Zexiao unintentionally that day, her first thought was to contain the situation and take control, which obviously showed her capability.
With Yu Zexiao’s fickle personality, making numerous demands, only someone with her mild temperament could tolerate her.
Furthermore, although they actually kissed that time, no one believed she really had any unspeakable relationship with Yu Zexiao.
First of all, Yu Zexiao’s attitude towards her had become increasingly irritable these days.
And she, too, kept it strictly professional without showing a hint of intimacy.
In contrast, Jiang Xuanqi’s assistant Xiao Qiang, because he worked for the leading actress, had all sorts of demands in the crew.
And Yu Zexiao, with his handsome face slightly furrowed, looked up dissatisfied from his phone screen.
He wanted to set Jian Anning straight himself, but that didn’t mean anyone else had the right to punish her!
It’s like how we always complain about the government in Huaxia Country, but as soon as someone from another country criticizes us, netizens immediately start attacking!
—However, his frowning gesture gave Jiang Xuanqi a misunderstanding, as if he too was dissatisfied with Jian Anning’s behavior towards her!
Just as Yu Zexiao was about to speak, Zhao Ziyin by his side couldn’t help but say with a sneer, “Oh, I hear Miss Jiang is very particular about how she conducts herself.
I hadn’t realized it was to this extent!”
She stopped using “Qiqi” and directly called her “Miss Jiang,” obviously intending to provoke her!
To everyone’s surprise, Jiang Xuanqi also responded with a smile, but her smile was cold, “Of course.
For an artist, the most important thing is this face.
If someone wiped it with a non-sterilized towel and something happened, I’m afraid some people can’t afford the consequences!”
As she spoke, she arrogantly lifted her chin, commanding in a serious tone, “What are you standing there stupidly for?
Hurry up and sterilize the towel!”
At this, everyone in the room turned their attention to Jian Anning!
Clearly, Jiang Xuanqi was intentionally causing trouble.
But after all, Jiang Xuanqi was the leading lady of the series, the rising star that Starlight Entertainment intended to heavily promote.
And Jian Anning?
She was just a minor assistant.
Besides, Yu Zexiao, the legitimate boss himself, was frowning without saying a word, so what could they possibly say?
Zhao Ziyin had a fiery temper.
The moment Jiang Xuanqi spoke, Zhao Ziyin could hardly contain herself and was about to lash out at her for three hundred rounds.
At this moment, it was Jian Anning who suddenly interrupted Zhao Ziyin and smiled at Jiang Xuanqi.
Jian Anning’s beauty was not the glamorous type like Zhao Ziyin’s, nor the feigned innocence of Jiang Xuanqi.
When she smiled, her lips parted slightly to reveal a small dimple, her eyes clear, and paired with a T-shirt and jeans, her simple black straight hair gave her a refreshing and pleasant appearance.
She opened her lips, her voice clear and firm, and she even nodded in agreement, “Miss Jiang is absolutely right.”
Zhao Ziyin couldn’t sit still anymore.
She immediately stood up, “Anning, what are you saying?”
Jian Anning looked at Zhao Ziyin with a very puzzled expression, “Isn’t it the case?”
She looked at Jiang Xuanqi seriously and said confidently, “Miss Jiang is different from singers like Zexiao or eloquent hosts like you.
Miss Jiang is an actress, and not the kind who takes the strength route, she is the absolute idol type, relying only on her face to make a living.
If that face were to be accidentally ruined, she’d have no other way to earn her keep!”
Jiang Xuanqi immediately flew into a rage!
Was she mocking her, implying that she had nothing but a pretty face?
A chorus of coughs erupted from everyone in the room.
Having debuted for five years, Jiang Xuanqi’s fame and fees had increased, but the only thing that hadn’t improved was her acting.
When she first entered the industry, her raw acting was called “innocent and natural”.
Now, however, she was simply an undeniable vase!
——Indeed, watching her act, you’d know she’s focused on finding the camera angle that captures her most beautiful side.
She’s artificial and pretentious, and in terms of acting, she’s not even as skilled as Jian Anning, who has no filming experience!
Following that, Jian Anning walked nonchalantly to Jiang Xuanqi’s assistant, bluntly stuffing two towels into her arms, “Did you get Miss Jiang’s orders clear?
Not sterilized, and if it ruins Miss Jiang’s face, you can’t afford that!”
“What do you mean by that!”
Jian Anning blinked and feigned confusion, “Xiao Qiang is your assistant.
Whatever demands you have, naturally, you’d mention them to him.”
This sentence clearly meant: she wasn’t Jiang Xuanqi’s assistant; she had no authority to command her!
Jiang Xuanqi was so angered by this statement that she couldn’t speak for a while and she suddenly stood up!
“Jian Anning, what is this attitude?!”
Jian Anning glanced over.
Jiang Xuanqi was wearing a Japanese-style chiffon maxi dress with chestnut-colored hair elegantly tied to one side.
She wore slightly exaggerated candy-colored big earrings, her figure slim, and that meticulously made-up face had a fair amount of charm.
If it weren’t for her beauty, she wouldn’t have had a chance in the entertainment industry.
But, assuming just because she had a bit of fame, she could boss around and point fingers at her, was where she was mistaken!
If Jian Anning had been just a college graduate new to society, she might have succumbed to this kind of pressure and been manipulated by Jiang Xuanqi.
Unfortunately, though Jian Anning had escaped a wedding and needed to keep a low profile, she was, after all, from a prestigious family.
As long as she unleashed her full aura, she wouldn’t give a second glance to a female star like Jiang Xuanqi!
She advanced instead of retreating, with a cold smile, “Of course, I can’t compare to the great star Jiang!
She’s charming and has a knack for getting along with everyone.
I saw you chatting happily with the Crown Prince of Xingmao High Tech just a few days ago…
That capability is truly something I can’t catch up to, even if I rode a swift horse!”
Fearless, she directly pierced through the tribulations of scandal tied to her in front of the interviewing crew, and immediately, Jiang Xuanqi’s face turned crimson with anger.
Her lips trembled with rage, and panic and fury hid behind the blue of her beautiful pupils, “You, get out!”
Jian Anning graciously walked to the door.
What did she have to fear?
If angering Jiang Xuanqi was all it took, let’s see if she has the clout to have Starlight Entertainment fire her!
She was acting under direct orders from Yin Maohui, even Yu Zexiao hadn’t spoken; what was she putting on airs for?
Her gaze turned towards the end of the corridor, and a figure entered her sight, startling her into freezing on the spot!
