"What did you just say to her?"
Is that all?
This single sentence made Wen Sining laugh. Since he was sure in his heart that Yun Chutong got injured because of her, why didn't he just ask directly? Why was he beating around the bush like this? Wasn't he tired?
Glancing at Yun Chutong's hand, which was wrapped up like a mummy, Wen Sining lifted her foot and walked towards her.
"Is the injury that serious?"
Yun Chutong leaned towards Lu Luochen.
Lifting his hand to block in front of Yun Chutong, Lu Luochen looked at Wen Sining unhappily.
Was she that scary?
Wen Sining took a step back and voluntarily kept a safe distance from them.
It was deathly silent all around. Everyone present could feel the intense atmosphere of a love triangle, and no one dared to make a sound.
"Teacher Amanda's hand is injured so seriously. It seems she won't be able to continue with the subsequent shooting," Wen Sining said, her gaze scattered rather than fixed on any particular person.
There was no sign of urgency on her face, but her heart skipped a beat.
Sister Fang's repeated exhortations echoed in her mind.
"Luochen," Yun Chutong wrapped her palm around the inside of Lu Luochen's forearm.
Noticing that she was uncomfortable, Lu Luochen lifted his other hand and gently placed it on her arm. His thumb gently caressed her skin, but his eyes were cold as he looked at Wen Sining. "Ms. Wen, do you mean to cancel the cooperation?"
Wasn't the meaning obvious?
Wen Sining raised her eyebrows and openly pointed at Yun Chutong's hand. "Of course we don't want to replace the model if she can continue shooting, but can Teacher Amanda still continue shooting now?"
The brand ambassador not only had to have her facial details shot but also her hands holding the products. With the bandage on her hand, what would the final product look like?
Seeing Yun Chutong constantly snuggling into Lu Luochen's arms, it was a typical case of shooting oneself in the foot.
"Let's call it a day for today's shooting. If Teacher Amanda can't shoot normally tomorrow, we'll have to end the cooperation."
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Yun Chutong immediately buried her face in Lu Luochen's embrace. "Luochen, I don't want to lose this opportunity."
Everyone present could hear what she said, especially Wen Sining who was standing in front of them.
Just a light comment of not wanting to lose the opportunity? Then why did she act like a diva and not take the shooting seriously?
Wen Sining was so speechless that she wanted to roll her eyes.
Yun Chutong's coquettish appearance had penetrated into Lu Luochen's heart. He felt sorry for her and could only project his dissatisfaction onto Wen Sining.
The moment their eyes met, Wen Sining rolled her eyes upwards, showing only the whites of her eyes.
"Teacher Amanda, I also don't want to terminate the cooperation with you, but the shooting can't be put on hold. How about you think of a way to see if you can take off the bandage during the shooting?" Wen Sining took a step back.
If they replaced the brand ambassador midway, there would surely be different opinions on the Internet. Judging from the way Yun Chutong's agency did things, they would surely rely on Lu Luochen, a big shot, to blame all the problems on them.
The product hadn't been launched yet, and any negative remarks would have an impact on the later stage.
Take off the bandage?
Impossible!
Yun Chutong still lay in Lu Luochen's arms, paying no attention to Wen Sining's words at all.
"Let's have a private talk?" Lu Luochen said.
There were staff members in charge of various areas all around, and nothing could escape their big, round eyes.
After some thought, Wen Sining agreed.
In the fitting room.
Wen Sining stood straight behind Lu Luochen. There was a wall full of mirrors on the left and rows of hangers on the right. Lu Luochen turned around with a serious face.
Humph, who is he trying to scare with those wide-open eyes?
Wen Sining tilted her head and rolled her eyes hard when Lu Luochen in front of her wasn't paying attention.
"I heard from Chutong that you're the person in charge of this shooting?" Lu Luochen asked.
"Yes," Wen Sining replied politely.
After confirming the information he knew, Lu Luochen continued, "Suspend the shooting for three days. The losses incurred during this period will be compensated by the Lu Corporation."
Was he bargaining with her?
Wen Sining was taken aback. She sized up Lu Luochen's expression thoughtfully.
The MoXin Group had only managed to gain a foothold in Licheng in the past two years. Due to its shallow foundation, it wasn't well-known. The Lu Corporation, on the other hand, was a century-old enterprise. Everyone in Licheng, from the white-haired old men to the toddlers, knew about it.
"Can you be more specific, Mr. Lu?" Wen Sining asked naively.
"Suspend the shooting for three days. The Lu Corporation can invest in this project," Lu Luochen said. "There's one requirement, and that is the brand ambassador can't be replaced."
In ancient times, King Zhou of Shang amused the feudal lords for his concubine. Today, Young Master Lu spends money to invest for his first love.
The requirement he put forward wasn't difficult, and it was a win-win situation for both sides.
Pretending to think seriously, Wen Sining said embarrassedly, "I may need to go back and ask our president."
"Take your time. After you've discussed it, you can send someone to the Lu Corporation to sign the contract."
"Okay."
After the talk ended, Lu Luochen left the dressing room. Before leaving, his gaze swept across the dressing mirror beside him. The side profile reflected in the mirror made him subconsciously take a few more seconds to look.
Thinking about Yun Chutong outside, the ripples in his heart quickly subsided, and he quickly left.
The shooting was interrupted again, resulting in an early end of work. After everyone had packed up their things, Wen Sining followed the company's car back to the company.
On the way, Wen Sining absent-mindedly looked out of the window. The car was moving forward at a constant speed, and the scenery outside flashed by like a passing cloud.
"Sister Wen."
Xiao Cai in the front passenger seat turned to look at the back seat.
After the call, Wen Sining didn't respond.
Xiao Cai swallowed his saliva and called out again, "Sister Wen!"
"Hmm," Wen Sining's empty gaze turned from the window. It gradually brightened under Xiao Cai's puzzled look.
"Sister Wen, are you okay?" Xiao Cai moved his body. His arm was hanging above the seat, and half of his leg was tilted on the seat.
Closing her eyes and pondering for a few seconds, Wen Sining shook her head tiredly. "What's up?"
"What did Mr. Lu just say to you?" Xiao Cai's worried look turned into curiosity.
After they left, many people placed bets. Some said that Mr. Lu would threaten Wen Sining, while others said that he would come up with conditions for negotiation.
There were about thirty-odd staff members in the crew, and two-thirds of them believed the former, thinking that Wen Sining would be forced out of her current working field by Lu Luochen.
Before she could respond to his question, her phone in her pocket rang.
[Jiang Ruanqing]
Why did she call suddenly?
Although curious, Wen Sining still hung up the call.
The most likely reason for Jiang Ruanqing to look for her was related to Wen Minhao. Presumably, he had caused another disaster.
Putting the phone back into her pocket, Wen Sining looked up at Xiao Cai. "Don't worry. I won't be fired."
The MoXin Group was founded by her. Who else had the right to fire her other than herself?
