As soon as the elevator doors closed, Yun Chutong, consumed by jealousy, immediately yanked her hand out of his. Displeased, she stood in the corner, casting a discontented look at the descending elevator.
"Are you angry?" Lu Luochen asked with a smile.
Yun Chutong let out a cold snort, folded her arms, and looked away.
The smile on his lips grew warmer. Lu Luochen stepped up to her and boldly pulled her into his arms. He rested his chin on the crook of her neck. "I was so worried about you that I climbed over from her balcony to yours."
Yun Chutong's eyes widened in disbelief. She broke free from Lu Luochen's embrace and turned to face him.
"Fool, you're the only one I love. No matter how good others are, they mean nothing to me." Lu Luochen ruffled her hair and pulled her back into his arms.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Yun Chutong still couldn't fully process this information.
Her apartment was on the top floor. Climbing over the balcony? How worried must he have been to take such a risk for her?
After Xiaolan went downstairs, Sister Fang told the driver to leave. They would go to the shooting location first.
"Aren't you busy today?"
On the way, Yun Chutong asked.
Lu Luochen glanced at her, nodded, but didn't say a word.
On the other side, at the shooting location.
Wen Sining arrived at the shooting site early in the morning. To avoid a repeat of yesterday's incident, she had gone to the company beforehand to pick up some extra shooting products.
After the staff nervously prepared the shooting site, they finally relaxed. Everyone found a place to sit and waited for Yun Chutong's arrival.
Qiao Xi had something come up unexpectedly and couldn't make it today. Wen Sining was the only person in charge at the shooting site.
"Sister Wen, she's not going to back out today, is she?" the photographer walked over and asked.
Just as he finished speaking, Yun Chutong's limousine drove in.
Wen Sining averted her gaze and looked at the photographer. "Check your camera. We'll start shooting in twenty minutes."
Before coming, Wen Sining had specifically contacted Sister Fang. She had specifically reminded the other party that today's shooting schedule would be very tight and asked them to make preparations in advance.
This included the makeup. Since Yun Chutong didn't want to use the makeup artist they had prepared for her, she could use her own makeup artist to do her makeup and styling on the way.
When Sister Fang answered the call, she didn't know that Lu Luochen would be sending Yun Chutong to the shooting site. Afraid that this project would fall through, she readily agreed.
The car drove slowly all the way, but they still managed to arrive at the shooting site on time.
"Sister Fang, the person in charge from the other side is here," Xiaolan sat by the car window. The direction she was looking out of the window happened to be the side where Wen Sining was walking over.
Telling her this wasn't going to help. Yun Chutong was in Lu Luochen's car. If they didn't come, she couldn't just airdrop them over.
Sister Fang let out a helpless sigh and said to Xiaolan beside her, "Open the door. What's coming is bound to come."
Thankfully, Lu Luochen was also coming today. No matter how dissatisfied the other party was, they would still have to give the Lu Corporation some face.
"Is Teacher Amanda ready?" Wen Sining looked at Sister Fang.
Seeing the other party being so hesitant, her eyes scanned the inside of the car. In the spacious car, there was only the driver, Sister Fang, and Xiaolan. The person who was supposed to be there wasn't there at all.
The smile on Wen Sining's face disappeared instantly. She frowned and asked again, "Where's Teacher Amanda?"
"Well, last night Amanda was with General Manager Lu. They got up late this morning and are on their way here," Sister Fang got out of the car and deliberately mentioned Lu Luochen's name when explaining.
But Wen Sining didn't care at all. The person who had signed the contract with her was Yun Chutong, and it was also Yun Chutong who had breached the contract. If she didn't want to shoot properly, she might as well just let Lu Luochen pay the liquidated damages for her.
"Can we still shoot normally today?"
"Sure, of course we can."
Sister Fang warmly grabbed Wen Sining's hand as if they were old friends. "Amanda cares a lot about this shooting. Yesterday she was in a bad mood and not in the right state. You can rest assured that today's shooting will definitely go smoothly."
Wen Sining didn't want to hear any empty promises. She pulled her hand out of Sister Fang's and distantly let go.
Sister Fang wasn't stupid. How could she not understand the other party's attitude?
"I'll call and ask about their estimated time of arrival. I won't let everyone wait for too long."
Ignoring the promise behind her, Wen Sining returned to the tent.
Everyone saw her gloomy face and could more or less guess the reason.
"Sister Wen, can we still shoot today?" Xiao Cai from the props team ran over to ask.
Setting up the scene wasn't that easy. If the other party didn't show up, there was no need for them to prepare so meticulously.
Wen Sining stared at the entrance the whole time. She only gave Yun Chutong half an hour in her heart. If she didn't show up after half an hour, she would arrange for the company's legal department to hold Yun Chutong accountable.
The people beside her saw that Wen Sining didn't say a word for a long time. Even though they had many questions in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything more.
One minute, two minutes... When the time was almost up to Wen Sining's expectation, a familiar Maybach drove into the shooting site.
Everyone watched as Sister Fang and Xiaolan enthusiastically ran up to greet them. They knew that Yun Chutong had come.
This car wasn't unfamiliar to everyone. Lu Luochen had come yesterday and was also driving this Maybach.
"Don't tell me they're here to cause trouble?"
"Keep your voice down. Sister Wen will hear you soon."
Everyone nervously looked at Wen Sining, holding their breaths for her.
Wen Sining stood up from her chair and walked towards the place where the Maybach was parked.
Since she would be running into Lu Luochen in future shootings, there was no need for her to keep avoiding him.
"Teacher Amanda, can we start shooting in half an hour?" Wen Sining asked.
Yun Chutong leaned on Lu Luochen's shoulder, looking unhappy.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Wen Sining asked again, "The makeup artist is ready for you. Do you think you can start getting your makeup and styling done now?"
If Yun Chutong refused to answer these two consecutive questions, she would instantly be in the wrong.
Lu Luochen looked down at Yun Chutong. "Go ahead. I'll wait for you here."
Hearing Lu Luochen's words, Yun Chutong followed the staff reluctantly.
Little girl, did she really think they couldn't do anything about her?
Wen Sining let out a snort in her heart. Ignoring Lu Luochen's presence, she turned around and walked back to her original position.
Before coming, Lu Luochen had specifically cancelled all his schedules for today just to accompany Yun Chutong here.
He walked into the shooting studio and stood in front of the display screen.
"General Manager Lu, please have a seat," the assistant director quickly got up and offered his seat to Lu Luochen.
On one side, Wen Sining sat firmly in her chair. She didn't have the time to curry favor with an unimportant person.
So what if the Lu Corporation was powerful in Licheng? She knew clearly that the old man wouldn't allow Lu Luochen to squeeze out another company just for a woman.
