Chapter 386: First Dispute


Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations


In the past, An Nuo still had to go around for auditions to obtain more resources through her own efforts.


Now, her hard work has paid off.


There were countless advertis.e.m.e.nts and interviews. There were also many variety shows that sent invitations one after another, wanting An Nuo to partic.i.p.ate in their show.


An Nuo was so busy that her feet didn’t even touch the ground.


“We have a magazine cover shoot tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, there1 another endors.e.m.e.nt and a variety show. When the time comes, I can adjust according to the time…” Her manager, Su Zhen, reported the day’s schedule as usual.


An Nuo’s itinerary was filled to the brim. Almost after this round, the next schedule would start immediately, forcing her to move.


This situation was also arranged by Jiang Chi to be reported to Murong Qiao. “So many?” Murong Qiao frowned.


What she was holding in her hand was An Nuo’s schedule for the past week. The dense words on it made her dizzy at first glance.


Jiang Chi lowered his eyes and agreed. “This is the most basic. There’s also a flexible schedule according to the time.”


In other words, An Nuo was far busier than what the list depicts.


“Go and call her over.” Murong Qiao frowned.


She felt that she had to talk to An Nuo.


It was a good thing to win an award, and it was also a good thing to have more work. However, Murong Qiao didn’t agree with accepting all kinds of invitations.


An Nuo was quickly called over. “Qiao, is there something urgent?”


When she knocked on the door and came in, she was wearing a short skirt. It was obvious that she would be busy again later.


“An Nuo.” Murong Qiao deliberated over her words. “You haven’t been attending many performance cla.s.ses recently.”


She mentioned it tactfully as a form of inquiry.


“Performance cla.s.s?” An Nuo was stunned.


She reacted for a moment before remembering. “I’ve been too busy recently. I have indeed been attending fewer performance cla.s.ses.”


Some of the words were not very appropriate. Previously, An Nuo’s performance cla.s.s was about five times a week. Now, in order to facilitate her events, her manager, Su Zhen, felt that An Nuo no longer needed to nurture her acting skills as much as before. Hence, after discussing with An Nuo, they decided that she should attend only two sessions a week.


Even so, An Nuo would still be absent sometimes.


“You should attend less events,” Murong Qiao suggested.


It was naturally a good thing to have popularity and invitations, but seeing that An Nuo seemed to be immersed in it and had even forgotten to learn and improve, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but be a little worried.


An Nuo was puzzled and even objected. “But it’s best to strike while the iron is hot now.”


She was a little resistant to Murong Qiao’s words. Her disagreement was shown on her face, and her smile gradually faded.


“Using the momentum of winning the award and taking advantage of the victory to partic.i.p.ate in various activities has greatly improved me.” An Nuo explained her thoughts.


But Murong Qiao felt a headache when she saw her like this. “But your acting skills aren’t solid enough.”


The two of them were close. Usually, when they talked, they were more inclined to speak directly. However, today’s conversation was the first time Murong Qiao felt that speaking directly had become a burden.


“Everything has its priorities. I just feel that attending events now is the most important.” An Nuo insisted.


Seeing that she was obviously unwilling to accept the suggestion, Murong Qiao clenched her fingers. Many words that she wanted to say finally stopped in her mouth.


“You can’t miss acting cla.s.s.” It was rare for her tone to be tough.


Murong Qiao had no intention of giving in.


In her opinion, acting was the foundation. It was something that An Nuo could rely on in the future.


Whether it was advertising endors.e.m.e.nts or other things, these were all temporary.


If the next Best Actress Award was given to someone else, these things would also follow.


An Nuo was anxious. “It’s not like I won’t do it in the future. It’s just that I’m on the rise now. Why can’t you understand me a little?”


Recently, the pressure brought by the advertis.e.m.e.nt had been too great. An Nuo had been holding it in. Coupled with the fact that they were about to set off for the next venue, it couldn’t help but make An Nuo anxious.


Murong Qiao’s words were like a fuse.


“How you pursue your victory is your business, but the acting cla.s.s schedule has to return to its previous state. Not a single lesson can be missed. I’ll get the teacher to report your progress at all times.” Murong Qiao’s face turned cold.


An Nuo choked at Murong Qiao’s att.i.tude. She was so angry that she only said coldly, “Got it.” Then, she turned around and pushed the door open.


“An Nuo, you’re here. It’s just nice…” An employee outside wanted to talk to her.


However, An Nuo acted as if she did not see him. Her cold expression made people shut their mouths. The sound of the door slamming was so loud that even the people working beside could hear it.


The employee was shocked and swallowed his words.


Almost everyone’s gaze was attracted by this commotion and looked in the direction of the office.


However, An Nuo didn’t seem to notice. After slamming the door, she left angrily.


“What’s going on?”


“I don’t know. Did they quarrel?”


Huh? Isn’t An Nuo the closest to Boss? How can they quarrel like this?”


“I don’t know…”


Discussions gradually rose.


The speed of gossip was unimaginable, to minutes after An Nuo slammed the door and left, almost everyone in the company knew that An Nuo and Murong Qiao had quarreled.


“What’s the situation between you and Boss?” Her manager, Su Zhen, asked her.


She was not a gossip, but it was obviously not a wise decision to quarrel with her boss.


An Nuo was still angry. “We don’t see eye to eye.”


That was all she said.


The a.s.sistant beside her was also worried. “But you two are usually very close.


Is there a problem that you can’t communicate about?”


The a.s.sistant had been working with An Nuo since she debuted. Their relationship was not bad, so she didn’t have so many scruples when she spoke.


“…” An Nuo remained silent.


The a.s.sistant’s words made her ponder. In fact, An Nuo didn’t think that the problem she discussed with Murong Qiao could not be solved. It was just that the other party couldn’t understand her thoughts, making An Nuo feel aggrieved.


However, this silence made the manager, Su Zhen, and the little a.s.sistant look at each other. They were both certain that An Nuo did not get along with their boss.


It was rare for Su Zhen to persuade her gently. “After all, the boss is still the boss. Why don’t we postpone our schedule for this afternoon and have a good chat?”


She asked for An Nuo’s opinion, but the meaning of her words was very clear. “That’s right, that’s right. It’s better to resolve the misunderstanding at this time,” the junior a.s.sistant agreed.


They were not like An Nuo, who thought from the perspective of a worker.


Offending the boss was definitely not a good thing. Moreover, if it did not involve principles, there was room for negotiation.


However, An Nuo became even more stubborn. “No need. Just carry on as usual.”


Su Zhen and the a.s.sistant’s words made An Nuo feel even more frustrated. She was sure that she was right and there was no problem with the way she handled it.


However, Murong Qiao’s actions made An Nuo even more determined to work harder. She held back her anger and wanted to oppose Murong Qiao.


…Alright. Su Zhen, the manager, nodded reluctantly.


The artistes’ opinions were the most important. Moreover, Su Zhen was worried about Murong Qiao and An Nuo’s quarrel, so she didn’t want to interfere.


The car started slowly, and An Nuo’s schedule continued as usual. However, the busy and excited mood was no longer there.


On the way there, the car was abnormally silent. An Nuo looked at the darkening sky and suddenly thought of going home at night.


She suddenly said, “Book a hotel for me. I don’t want to go home for the time being.”


She was going to meet Murong Qiao again after returning home, and An Nuo didn’t really want to see her for the time being.


”Ah? Okay.” The a.s.sistant quickly agreed.


They didn’t know that An Nuo lived with Murong Qiao and thought that she was angry..
