Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 95. Slapping Her Face
The recording site of the variety show "Longing for Life"

The morning recording had just ended, and He Yongwen rubbed her sore shoulders as she went back to the RV to rest. Sister Man handed her a bottle of water.

"Look at you, you've been busy all morning, and who knows how many shots will actually make it into the final cut."

He Yongwen tried to unscrew the bottle cap, only to find that her wrist was too weak and trembling to even turn the cap. She pursed her lips and said, "Isn't this always been the case in this industry?"

She's used to it.

Upon hearing this, Sister Man sighed, looked at the unopened bottle of mineral water in her hand, and reached out: "Give it to me."

He Yongwen smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Sister Man."

"This hard job of chopping wood was supposed to be left to a male guest to do with you, but you did it all by yourself."

"The entertainment industry is a dog-eat-dog world. If you're not a big star and don't have much fame, nobody will care about you," Sister Man said earnestly. "I told you to climb up by riding on Young Master Ji's coattails. If they knew you were Young Master Ji's woman, who would dare to treat you so badly?"

He Yongwen lowered her eyes.

She hasn't told Sister Man that Ji Yanci actually came with her, and the production crew saw them.

But the man left before even staying a day.

The production crew heard rumors but never saw her, and they all secretly mocked her, calling her a plaything, a clown.

She originally thought that reporters would be staking out the airport, and that her blatant arm-in-arm with a man would definitely be photographed and exposed, but to her surprise, there has been no movement online so far.

He Yongwen opened her palm, looked at the red marks on her fair palm from the morning's torment caused by the machete, and gritted her teeth.

She still doesn't know the real reason why Ji Yanci suddenly left.

These past two days, whether she's texting or calling, the man has been very perfunctory with her.

He Yongwen tried to ignore the unease welling up inside her.

She took the opened bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and asked, "Are there any other jobs after this variety show recording ends?"

Sister Man picked up her tablet and checked the schedule.

"After the next few endorsement ads and interviews, I was planning to get you a campus drama." He Yongwen frowned: "Let's turn down the campus drama. You've already done three, and the audience is tired of them."

She could also take some time to win Ji Yanci's heart back.

“My darling, the image you’re going for right now is that of a pure, sweet goddess. If you don’t act in campus dramas, what else can you do? Nobody’s offering you any other scripts.”

Just as He Yongwen was about to speak, her assistant covered her face and ran back with tears in her eyes.

"What's going on?" Sister Man asked, frowning.

The girl bit her lip, lowered her head, and remained silent.

He Yongwen gently pressed down on her wrist: "Take your hand away so I can see."

She slowly lifted her hand, and a bright red handprint came into view.

Sister Man exclaimed in disbelief, "Who did this?!"

The girl sobbed, "Yes, Sister Wen just asked me to go down the mountain to buy some milk tea for everyone. But when I delivered it to Wang Yuran, her assistant Tingting insisted that Sister Wen was jealous of Wang Yuran's good figure and deliberately sent milk tea to try to fatten her up. I had only explained a couple of times when she hit me."

He Yongwen clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently with anger.

Sister Man gave He Yongwen a look, signaling her not to act impulsively, before turning to her assistant and saying, "I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'll give you three days off when you get back. The company will reimburse your medical expenses, and your salary will increase by 500 yuan this month."

"Go and rest first."

After her assistant left, Ho Wing-man angrily threw her things down.

"This isn't just hitting Xiao Jiu, it's slapping me in the face!"
