The young lady with the Jiangnan accent blushed. Perhaps because she felt a loss of face, as she walked towards the sink, she mumbled softly, "What business is it of yours? Busybody!"
"You"re right…" Yun Liuli took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her hands, then looked down at her slim and fair hands, her pleasant-sounding voice saying the most humiliating words, "I can"t stand people who have hearts as dirty as rats in the sewers! w.a.n.g Wanli and s.h.i.+ Wenqing, is it? I"ve remembered your names! Later, I"ll surely tell Sister Fang Yan, Miss Xia, and Sister Xiao Nuan about it. They"re tainting this sacred place by bringing people like you into the army!"
The two looked like their furs had been fried the instant they heard that. That was especially true for the girl called w.a.n.g Wanli, who had an extra loud voice signature of southern ladies. "Why… Lin Nuan has the guts to do something like this but doesn"t have the guts for others to talk about it? She had a child with Wen Moshen, yet pinned it on Mr. Fu… making a man like Mr. Fu raise the child all by himself. Her coming here is tainting this sacred place!"
When s.h.i.+ Wenqing heard this, she hurriedly reached out to tug at her companion, looking all fl.u.s.tered. w.a.n.g Wanli had scolded Lin Nuan. If that girl with the surname Yun lodged a complaint with Lin Nuan, they would surely lose their jobs!
Lin Nuan"s agency gave a high salary, and the work was easy. Fang Yan said it… Other than the tight schedule over this period of time for the military show in the army, at other times, if they didn"t have to record Lin Nuan"s shows or handle other matters, it was fine for them to not go down to the agency…
Fang Yan had even given everyone a red packet because they had to come over to record a show in the army in a rush. Miss Xia also said that after they were done recording the show and before leaving the troops, she would give everyone a big red packet too!
Where else could they find such a cushy job?
Many people were dying to enter!
s.h.i.+ Wenqing was a semi-famous makeup artist, and even then, she had to use some connections to get in. She didn"t want to get fired after merely working there for a few days!
"w.a.n.g Wanli, stop talking!" s.h.i.+ Wenqing tugged at w.a.n.g Wanli with reddened ears. Yet she was bashful about apologizing to Yun Liuli, so she only said, "What we were discussing is also what everyone is discussing. It"s just that you coincidentally overheard what we said. We won"t talk about this again. You"ve already scolded us, so just take it that this matter never happened, okay?"
Yun Liuli folded her handkerchief, then slipped it into her pocket and looked at those two women, the corners of her lips turned up. On her clean and pretty fair face, her smile reeked of sarcasm. "I"d be dirtying my mouth by scolding you…"
Yun Liuli then turned and walked out.
"I"ve never been scolded by someone like that before! She"s going to lodge a complaint anyway… I"m not afraid of falling out with her entirely! At most, I"ll be driven out of here. I don"t care for this f*cking job anyway!"
w.a.n.g Wanli came from a more well-off family. She had been spoiled since young and couldn"t take this lying down. She furiously charged right at Yun Liuli after finis.h.i.+ng those words…
The little one standing at the door could hear the movements inside. He was so startled that he retreated two steps. His large eyes glanced left and right helplessly, then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he speedily ran to the staircase at the end of the corridor.
…
Lin Nuan had just changed her clothes. She was discussing the changes to be made to the interview questions tomorrow when she saw the door being pushed open…
Tuan Tuan pressed both hands against the door. You Nainai held onto the door frame with one hand and held the door handle with the other, helping Tuan Tuan open the door.
When the little one saw the door open, he immediately ran towards Lin Nuan, hugging her leg in one swoop. He looked up and stared at her with those reddened large eyes of his, looking like he was trying his best not to cry.
"What happened?"
Lin Nuan bent over and supported Tuan Tuan"s little elbows, wanting to lift him up, but Tuan Tuan grabbed Lin Nuan"s index finger and started jogging outside…
Lin Nuan was bent over by Tuan Tuan"s pulling actions as she followed behind him. She asked him to slow down.
Yun Liuli was nowhere in sight, and Tuan Tuan was pulling Lin Nuan and running downstairs. Lin Nuan distinctly felt that something had happened to Yun Liuli…
She quickened her steps and directly lifted Tuan Tuan before asking him, "You want to go downstairs?"
Tuan Tuan circled one arm around Lin Nuan"s neck and nodded.
Miss Xia and You Nainai were a little worried, so they followed behind Lin Nuan, going down the stairs with her. Tuan Tuan pointed to the right with his chubby little finger…
Lin Nuan turned to the right and walked forward. Very quickly, they reached the door of the washroom. Lin Nuan could hear the sound of girls shrieking, so she involuntarily quickened her pace.
Clearly, You Nainai also heard the shrieking female voices. She quickened her steps and walked to Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan, then turned around and glanced at Lin Nuan. She raised a hand and indicated for Lin Nuan to wait outside the washroom. Lin Nuan nodded at You Nainai…
Seeing You Nainai enter the washroom and Tuan Tuan anxiously pointing at the washroom, Lin Nuan worried about Yun Liuli, so she went in as well.
When Lin Nuan entered the washroom, she saw Yun Liuli standing by the sink, using a handkerchief to wipe her wet and dripping hands.
You Nainai, who wasn"t far from Yun Liuli, paused in surprise. She looked towards Lin Nuan…
"Xiao Liuli…" Lin Nuan called out to Yun Liuli.
Seeing Lin Nuan carrying Tuan Tuan, Yun Liuli folded her handkerchief and slipped it into her pocket as she said, "Little one, were you afraid that I"d lose out? Is that why you ran to look for your mama?"
Tuan Tuan thought about it, then nodded obediently.
Lin Nuan carried Tuan Tuan and walked to Yun Liuli"s side. Catching sight of the two young ladies who were tied together and each gagged with a light bulb, Lin Nuan also paused in surprise.
You Nainai raised her head and surveyed the surroundings, then caught sight of two light bulb sockets on the sink.
Seeing the two young ladies with production crew staff pa.s.ses staring at her with horrified gazes, pleading for help and mumbling G.o.d-knows-what, Lin Nuan asked Yun Liuli, "What happened?"
"These two people"s mouths are dirty, so I stuffed them up…" Yun Liuli spoke with a breezy tone.
Lin Nuan was stunned.
She was surprised that although Yun Liuli appeared weak and delicate and furthermore was fighting one against two, she managed to tie the two of them up and even stuffed light bulbs in their mouths…
She could vaguely guess what Yun Liuli meant by dirty mouths.
She tightened her hold around Tuan Tuan. Since Tuan Tuan was following Yun Liuli, had Tuan Tuan heard it too?
Lin Nuan turned her head and looked at Tuan Tuan, whose eyes had turned red. Tuan Tuan was cautiously gazing at Lin Nuan as well, his adorable manner making one"s heart ache for him.
Lin Nuan"s heart felt swollen and painful. She nodded at Yun Liuli. Miss Xia, who entered subsequently, paused in surprise at the scene as well. "What happened? Nainai, why are you still standing there? Rescue them! Untie them!"
Miss Xia was planning to go over to help untie those two girls.
Lin Nuan didn"t stop Miss Xia, merely saying to her, "Miss Xia, let these two people leave the production crew. We have too many people here…"
