2406 Twins
w.a.n.g Shuqi found it funny but also felt that Lil Han was too mean. She said, “Lil Han, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Mrs. w.a.n.g, I’m just saying. I’m not spouting nonsense. Ms. Qiao won the International Fas.h.i.+on Design Compet.i.tion. We’re all benefiting from her.”
Her mouth was full of sarcasm, making one feel nauseous.
Qiao Weiyang sized up her seriously and said, “Lil Han, right?”
“Yes, it’s me. What’s wrong?” Lil Han didn’t react for a moment. Qiao Weiyang’s att.i.tude was a little too calm.
“The people around Zhang Xi are all capable people. But I didn’t expect her a.s.sistant to…” Qiao Weiyang shook her head. “… Didn’t you brush your teeth before going out? Why are such nasty words coming out of your mouth? I remember that Zhang Xi endorses a brand of toothpaste. Didn’t the brand give you some?”
Lil Han’s face turned red. “Qiao Weiyang, what are you talking about?”
“It’s natural for you to mock others, but if others retort, they’re being mean, right?” Qiao Weiyang said indifferently. “I think the next time you go out, not only do you have to use toothpaste, but it’s best if you also… bring your brain.”
“You!”
Seeing that Lil Han was no match for Qiao Weiyang, w.a.n.g Shuqi pulled her back. “Lil Han! You spoke rudely first. You can’t quarrel with Qiao Weiyang. Apologize quickly.”
Lil Han didn’t want to apologize at all.
w.a.n.g Shuqi had a good relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Xi, so she naturally did not want to see Lil Han offend anyone on Zhang Xi’s behalf. She criticized, “Do you think you represent yourself when you go out? You’re Zhang Xi’s a.s.sistant. Your att.i.tude represents Zhang Xi’s att.i.tude! Apologize quickly!”
Lil Han said reluctantly, “I’m sorry.”
“Forget it, I won’t accept your apology.”
“Mrs. w.a.n.g, look at her!”
“Weiyang, give me some face and don’t argue with Lil Han. This little a.s.sistant doesn’t have much work experience. Don’t be too angry.”
w.a.n.g Shuqi stepped out to smooth things over and made light of Lil Han’s mistake.
Qiao Weiyang said indifferently, “I’m not angry. Sometimes, it’s good to witness the diversity of species, isn’t it, Mrs. w.a.n.g?”
w.a.n.g Shuqi’s expression changed slightly.
Qiao Weiyang smiled and said, “Mrs. w.a.n.g, I still have work to do, so I won’t talk to you anymore. Goodbye.”
Seeing Qiao Weiyang leave, Lil Han was very angry. “Mrs. w.a.n.g, just listen to what she’s saying.”
w.a.n.g Shuqi actually did not have a good impression of Lil Han, who had stayed by Zhang Xi’s side for so long. Zhang Xi’s resources were all provided by her family. Lil Han was rarely like the a.s.sistants of other celebrities who were humble and obedient. She had developed bad habits and was so noisy.
She could use her to suppress Qiao Weiyang, but it was impossible for w.a.n.g Shuqi to help her sincerely.
w.a.n.g Shuqi said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about this. It’s more important to buy things.”
After a while, they quickly finished shopping and left.
After Qiao Weiyang bought some things elsewhere, she returned and continued to browse.
She picked a few ordinary fabrics and bargained with the boss.
“Young lady, my price is already the lowest. I won’t have anything to earn if you continue to bargain with me.”
“Boss, let’s make it cheaper. I can buy more.”
“Alright, alright. Let’s do it at this price.” The boss also saw that Qiao Weiyang was pleasing to the eye, so he directly gave her a discount.
“You can’t do anything with this little bit of fabric. Why don’t you give it to me too?” Qiao Weiyang saw that there were excess corners of the fabric that he had just cut off. She could take these back to make bow ties and corsages.
“You’re so young, but you’re quite good at bargaining. Look at the two people just now. They bought fabrics that cost tens of thousands of yuan without saying anything. You bought a few hundred yuan’s worth and you want the sc.r.a.ps,” the boss said as he stuffed the unwanted sc.r.a.ps into a bag and handed them to her. “But it’s good for young people to know how to be thrifty. It’s quite good.”
After Qiao Weiyang bought the fabric, she still had a remainder of the money. Choosing to just buy fabric was actually a surplus.
Then, she brought the fabric to the production team.
Li Liangting was already standing at the entrance of the production team. When she saw her carrying bags over, she came forward to receive them and said, “Why didn’t you let Huan Huan go and help?”
“I asked Huan Huan to help me go back to the studio to get my tools.”
Li Liangting said, “I’ve gotten two employees to help you. They’re both very down-to-earth and not talkative. They’re very good at what they do.”
“Got it.” Qiao Weiyang nodded.
Li Liangting sent her in. “If there’s anything else you need help with, call me.”
Qiao Weiyang went in. The two employees that Li Liangting mentioned had already arrived. Qiao Weiyang had seen them before and was not unfamiliar with them.
She did not waste any time and spread out the design drafts on the table. “We need to make these four full sets of clothes in five days, including jackets, undergarments, pants, and various accessories. We’re a little rushed, and we still need half a day for the actors to try on the clothes, so it might be a little tiring.”
The reason why she did not let more people partic.i.p.ate was because she was afraid that the effect would not be good if there were too many people working on the same few sets of clothes.
This kind of manual work itself required a person to follow it to the end in order to achieve the best effect.
The two employees immediately nodded. “Miss Qiao, don’t worry. We’ll do our best. Actually, the most difficult thing is the design draft, but seeing that your design drafts are already so perfect, we’ll just follow them. There won’t be any problem.”
“Then let’s begin.” Qiao Weiyang finished a.s.signing the work and started with them.
The cameras were also recording at the side. Qiao Weiyang’s arrival this time was a very important gimmick for the production team. Her every move was even more important to the production team than those actors.
At the side, the actors were taking the time to rehea.r.s.e and getting used to their roles.
Compared to the dozens of a.s.sistants around Zhang Xi, as well as the extras she had chosen, Xinyue and Luo Lin were the most dismal.
The two of them only had one a.s.sistant each. Zhang Xi and the others were the ones who could pick out the extras. As for the rest of the actors, they could only follow behind the main group and pick up their leftovers.
Xinyue was prepared to suffer. She set her bottom line for suffering very, very low, so she was quite content with the current situation.
Lil Han didn’t dare to cause trouble anymore, so it was quite good.
In the few years that Luo Lin had been in the industry, he had always maintained an optimistic and relaxed att.i.tude. He had digested all the unfair treatment he had encountered and turned it into smiles full of suns.h.i.+ne. Now, he was surprised to see a young lady who was better at dispelling negative emotions than him.
“Xinyue, I still have to help Ms. Zhang rehea.r.s.e her scenes. As for you…” an extra who was cooperating with her said. “…Can I leave first?”
