Chapter 28.2: His Heart

Cen Ning knew she didn’t have the right to refuse right now. This matter was indeed due to her negligence…

If she had ordered takeout instead, this might not have happened.

“Mr Xue… I’ll try.”

“Okay, no matter what, you and Meng Peiyan are old acquaintances, she might sell you some face.” (TLN: Give her a chance)

Crowd: ? ? ?

Old acquaintance? Who?

What ‘old acquaintance’, they said only ten sentences and Meng Peiyan didn’t like her. She could feel it.

However, even if she didn’t want to try, she must.

“What?” The assistant raised the volume of her voice. “Sister Peiyan has been working all day today, and she has to join a drama group tomorrow. Now you want to shoot again tonight? How can we have the energy?”

“Sorry, sorry, this is our problem. Uhm, we can recalculate the price, because the magazine is really in a hurry. Our morning photos are missing for some reason, so…”

“Gone? Holy sh*t… That’s also your problem. We’ve done everything that needed to be done.”

“I know, it’s against the contract and difficult to agree to, but if we don’t retake it, Ms Meng’s picture won’t be featured in the magazine…”

“Are you threatening us?”

Cen Ning: “No…”

“I’m sorry. We still have something to do. We agreed on three hours in the morning, and that’s final.”

Beep–

They hung up.

Meng Peiyan glanced sideways at the assistant. “Cen Ning…”

Assistant: “Sister Peiyan, it’s her. You heard it just now. Her reasons are too unreasonable.”

Meng Peiyan smiled lightly. “Something really went wrong.”

Xue Xiaoxiao, who was eating at Meng Peiyan’s house, also listened to the phone call. “She is still doing part-time jobs there? Does Brother Xingzhi’s house lack anything for her?”

After speaking, Xue Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to say another word when she saw Meng Peiyan’s face changing.

But after a while, she couldn’t help saying, “Sister, do you think she will ask Brother Xingzhi to help convince you?”

“I don’t know.”

“It’s possible, but if Brother Xingzhi really called you, what would you do…”

Meng Peiyan lowered her eyes and said slowly after a long pause, “If he is willing to ask, I will naturally go.”

On the other side, the mood was heavy and dark. After knowing that Cen Ning couldn’t convince Meng Peiyan to come to reshoot, the people who were originally on her side couldn’t help but take out their anger on her.

Originally, they could have gone home and rested well, but now they had to stand here doing nothing. It was still okay to stand still, but they were scolded to death by their superior. So at this time, no one would have a good facial expression.

“Don’t leave if you can’t think of a solution.” Xue Bing said solemnly, “Xiao Qi, go ask Meng Peiyan’s agent again. Hao Zi, go contact other star actors. If they have time, tell me!”

“Okay.” The two were about to go out when suddenly, a staff member rushed in excitedly. “Mr. Xue! Bai Yi is here!”

Everyone present was stunned. “Bai Yi?”

“Yes, yes! He heard that something went wrong here. He is free, so he can come to shoot!”

Xue Bing almost thought there was something wrong with his ears. Who was Bai Yi? He was the male star who has been ranked first in the Index of New Media (TLN: Website dealing with statistics) all these years. He not only has excellent acting skills but also has high popularity. Even Meng Peiyan was two levels lower than him in terms of popularity.

However, Bai Yi rarely took on this kind of work, let alone such a sudden thing.

“Is your brain okay? Is the Bai Yi you’re talking about the same Bai Yi as I am thinking of?”

“I……”

“I don’t know if the Bai Yi in your head is me?” At this moment, a group of people walked into the studio. The person leading the group was smiling. It was the popular male god Bai Yi!

Xue Bing looked dumbfounded. “You…”

“Cen Ning.” Bai Yi skipped over everyone and walked straight to Cen Ning. “Why didn’t you call me earlier, worrying for so long, so stupid.”

Everyone: “…”

Cen Ning: “I… I didn’t seem to…”

“You don’t have to worry about bothering me. What’s our relationship? I can always help you with these kinds of little things.” After that, Bai Yi turned to the others. “Mhm… if there is no problem, we can start shooting directly.”

“Uh… ok ok.” Xue Bing was ecstatic when he finally reacted, and he restrainedly patted Cen Ning on the shoulder.

Good heavens, if she had such a solution, why didn’t she speak earlier?! Bai Yi had more sales guaranteed compared to Meng Peiyan!

A group of people gathered around Bai Yi to do his makeup, and the rest of them excitedly crowded around Cen Ning.

“What’s the situation? You and the male god are actually friends! Cen Ning! Can you ask him to take a photo with me?”

“I’m so glad that this incident happened today. What should I do? Don’t hit me!”

“Suddenly I want to work overtime! It doesn’t matter if I have to work until tomorrow!”

“Cen Ning, what is your relationship with him? You two look like you guys are familiar with each other?”

…

Seven mouths and eight tongues (TLN: All sorts of gossip and all talking at once). Everyone was asking her about their relationship, but Cen Ning was confused.

Who was this man!?
