Chapter 402

The staff member on the side was also responsible for the work on the set, and he had seen many different kinds of artists and team assistants.

Xiaoyun's situation was so striking that the staff member understood at a glance that it must be the artist deliberately making things difficult.

Fang Qi was a very qualified actor, not a popular star relying on traffic, but a solid powerhouse. Occasionally, rumors of her being a 'troublemaker' would come out, but no one said she was harsh to team members; at most, they said she was demanding and hard to serve.

Shen Li didn't know this senior Fang Qi, but she had seen her dramas. Because Fang Qi's screen image was always roles like 'truth, goodness, and beauty,' those who didn't know her would subconsciously assume she was also very easy to get along with in private.

But clearly, she wasn't.

At that moment, Xiaoyun swayed slightly due to physical exhaustion, which drew a dissatisfied glare from Fang Qi, her eyes full of pettiness.

"Teacher Shen Li, this scene will be finished soon. Could you wait a moment?"

The staff member didn't dare to say more, only breaking into a cold sweat for Shen Li.

No matter what, Shen Li was a junior in front of Fang Qi. Seeing her own assistant suffering under someone else's hand, she didn't know how Shen Li would face it or how she would open her mouth to ask for her back.

Although Shen Li was angry, she also knew the order of the set, so she had to nod quietly and wait on the side.

Until twenty minutes later when the scene ended, the previously quiet crowd became noisy in an instant.

Shen Li immediately lifted her feet and headed in Fang Qi's direction.

"Sister Qi, your next scene is at dusk. Why don't you go back to the car and rest for a while?"

Xiaoyun really couldn't hold on anymore. She felt that the moisture in her body was almost evaporated. If she continued to be exposed to the sun like this, she would sooner or later be dried into a mummy.

Her physical strength was truly exhausted, so she mustered the courage to suggest it.

Who knew that Fang Qi wouldn't even look at her, saying with a contemptuous tone: "My body has been damp lately, and my joints always ache. The doctor told me to get more sun."

Xiaoyun lowered her head with a weary expression, thinking to herself, she was holding an umbrella here, what kind of sun were you getting?

It was she herself who was about to be sunburned.

But she only dared to be angry but not speak, only saying with some grievance: "Sister Qi, I really can't hold on anymore. Why don't I go call Linda and let her take care of you for a while?"

"Linda? A newcomer who just joined the company, what does she know about taking care of people?" Fang Qi squinted at Xiaoyun, saying with an unkind tone: "I value you, which is why I let you stay by my side. Do you think everyone has such an opportunity? Don't be ungrateful."

Xiaoyun was speechless.

She thought to herself, whoever wants this blessing can have it.

Anyone with eyes could see that she was being deliberately made difficult; only Fang Qi could talk nonsense with such a straight face.

Xiaoyun also knew the reason why she was suddenly targeted and made difficult, but she was just an assistant. Taking care of the artist was her duty. Even if the other party was a bit excessive, she couldn't find a way to complain.

Who knew that at this moment, a familiar and gentle voice suddenly called her name.

"Sister Xiaoyun!"

This soft call drifted into her ears, causing Xiaoyun's whole body to tremble. Her overdrawn feet stumbled, and she finally fell to the ground on her butt.

The sun umbrella and handheld fan in her hand fell to the side, startling Fang Qi, who jumped up from the chair in irritation: "What's wrong with you?"

The commotion here drew the eyes of others on the set. Seeing that it was Fang Qi making things difficult for the assistant again, they all kept silent and went about their own business.

"I, I'm sorry, I didn't stand steady."

Xiaoyun's first reaction was to quickly admit her mistake and apologize, and then she was about to look for A-Li's figure, but she didn't expect A-Li to have already rushed to her side in two strides and reached out to help her up: "Sister Xiaoyun, are you okay?"

"A-Li?"

Xiaoyun was surprised to see Shen Li's pretty face right in front of her. The next second, her eyes uncontrollably turned red, and she asked with a choked voice: "You, why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you and Brother A-Pan up," Shen Li said.

Originally, she just felt that she hadn't seen them for a long time and came to visit the set to see them, but after witnessing everything just now, Shen Li decided to take them away today.

"Who are you?"

Fang Qi stared at the suddenly appearing Shen Li for a moment before questioning her. The two had never met in the company, so it was reasonable that Fang Qi didn't recognize Shen Li.

Shen Li helped Xiaoyun up first before turning to look at Fang Qi: "Hello, Teacher Fang Qi, my name is Shen Li."

"Shen Li?" Fang Qi examined Shen Li up and down with a suspicious look, then revealed a look of realization: "Oh, I remember now, I've heard people in the company talk about it."

As she spoke, she curled her lips into a contemptuous smile and looked at Xiaoyun, whose eyes were red: "Xiaoyun was your assistant before, right? And that A-Pan?"

Shen Li nodded and said softly: "I'm about to join a cast, and I'm here today to take them both back. If Teacher Fang Qi doesn't have enough manpower here, you can ask the company for more."

At this moment, as a junior and a younger generation, she still maintained the due respect for Fang Qi on the surface.

"Ha?" Fang Qi opened her mouth in slight surprise upon hearing this, then looked left and right with a funny look before looking at Shen Li and questioning: "Do you understand the rules? The company assigns assistants to me to follow the cast. If they don't finish this cast, I have no way to pay them their salary."

"It doesn't matter, I'll pay their salary," Shen Li said, looking at Xiaoyun on the side and saying directly: "You hand over the things you have in your hand related to Teacher Fang Qi, and then call Brother A-Pan to come with me."

Xiaoyun couldn't ask for anything better. Every day serving Fang Qi was like going to the execution ground; she didn't want to continue working for another second.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Shen Li didn't take her seriously at all, Fang Qi's face sank immediately: "Little girl, are you trying to snatch people from my hands?"

Fang Qi was a senior with experience and knowledge after all. Facing Shen Li, who was only twenty years old, her momentum rose immediately, scaring Xiaoyun so much that she didn't dare to move.

Shen Li was calm on the surface, but actually very nervous inside. This nervousness wasn't out of fear, but just because her actions at this moment were completely opposite to her personality.

When a person is doing something they are completely unskilled at, they will naturally be nervous.

"Teacher Fang Qi, I'm not snatching people from you, I'm asking for them back," Shen Li said in a good-natured tone as before: "They have been following me since I joined the company, and I'm used to being taken care of by them."

"When I wanted to rest, I also told Sister Kuan that if the company was temporarily short of manpower, they could be transferred over first, and they would come back to me when I joined a cast. Sister Kuan agreed to me at that time."

Fang Qi immediately raised her eyebrows: "Are you using Sister Kuan to pressure me?"

"I don't mean that, I'm just truthfully informing you of the situation at that time," Shen Li said, but her hand had already taken out her phone: "Should I call Sister Kuan and have you confirm it?"
