Chapter 102: The bigger the airs, the more resources you get!

Chu Siqi's coy voice startled Xiao Jingyuan's assistant badly.

He had just gone to protect Xiao Jingyuan, then Xiao Jingyuan told him to rest first, but others were still setting up the venue, so he wandered around casually.

Then he saw an open computer screen displaying a document; the format looked familiar, and curiosity drove him to pick up the mouse and click, discovering it was actually a script! After just a glance, he found the excerpt quite interesting.

So he proceeded to examine it.

Chu Siqi's loud shout from here drew everyone's attention.

Jiang Cheng also furrowed his brow and walked over with Chu Siqi.

Chu Siqi no longer had the excitement she felt when she first saw Xiao Jingyuan.

He frowned, pouted, and muttered with his little face: "These people are really annoying, just randomly touching others' stuff?"

The cooking machine had just made a loud noise, so many people looked over and the director asked, "What's wrong?"

The bespectacled screenwriter stood beside him and said, "Let's go see; I don't know the situation."

Jiang Cheng walked over, picked up the mouse, and checked the computer.

"It's just a look—what's the big deal?" the assistant who had just been startled said disdainfully.

Ye Qing stood behind Jiang Cheng, her face not looking good either, and Xiao Jingyuan also walked over at that moment.

"How's the boss?"

Chu Siqi asked.

Jiang Cheng put down the mouse, stood up, and said, "The files inside have been deleted."

The detailed script he had just written is gone.

The main problem is that the software, having just been used without a membership, lacks a recycle bin function, so the deletion is permanent.

"How can you be like this, randomly touching others' belongings!"

Chu Siqi was very angry and scolded Xiao Jingyuan's assistant.

The director and screenwriter also knew what was going on, looked a bit irritably at Xiao Jingyuan and his assistant, said nothing, and wanted to see how they would handle it.

Xiao Jingyuan walked over, flashed a smile typical of the male lead in urban dramas, and said, "It's not a big deal, right? He probably didn't mean it—can't you give me some face?"

Chu Siqi felt a flutter in her heart under his gaze, after all, he was once one of her idols on screen.

But now she didn't feel as good, feeling a bit annoyed, and said, "Even so, you can't just touch others' things."

After finally seeing the boss work alongside her, the result was that the boss's files were deleted.

This made Chu Siqi feel very uncomfortable inside.

The assistant standing beside Xiao Jingyuan said disdainfully, "It's not like it's anything good—what's the big deal?"

"You said that well." Jiang Cheng glanced at him, then pointed toward the outside of the office area with a blank expression and said, "There's nothing good here—you all get out."

The crew stared at each other, exchanged glances, not knowing how such a sudden situation had arisen.

The crew stared at each other, not knowing why such a sudden situation had occurred.

Xiao Jingyuan's face looked a bit unpleasant as he looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Although the matter is his fault, I feel your attitude..."

Jiang Cheng cut him off, stared into his eyes, and said, "My attitude is that I'm really pissed off now; I told you to leave—are you okay with that? If not, just go."

"How dare you speak to our Brother Yuan like that!"

"Do you know who Yuan Ge is!"

The assistant beside him raised his voice.

Jiang Cheng said, "I don't care who you are; this is my company's premises, I'm asking you to leave."

"Fine, keep talking!"

The assistant clenched his teeth, took out his phone, and said, "If you've got the guts to keep talking, I'll film you and you'll get net‑flamed—don't blame me for not warning you!" Everyone nearby hearing this furrowed their brows.

The director walked over and shoved him aside, shouting, "What the hell are you spouting here?!"

Originally it was just to give Xiao Jingyuan face, not saying much, but the people around him are getting more and more over the top.

He knows Xiao Jingyuan is very valuable, so he tolerates a lot of things, even though Xiao Jingyuan is high‑status!

But things are getting more and more out of hand—just an assistant, and if you don't give him face, he's nothing.

That assistant was shoved aside, wanted to curse, but seeing it was the director, he shut up and looked at Xiao Jingyuan.

"Little brother, sorry for the trouble we've caused you; shall we see if there's any way to fix it?"

The director glanced at Xiao Jingyuan, withdrew his gaze, and said to Jiang Cheng:

"There's still hope."

While the screenwriter was examining the computer, he spoke up at that moment:

The director and they looked over.

The screenwriter said, "I can retrieve the file even though it's deleted; locally we can find the script."

"How long will it take?" the director asked.

The screenwriter said, "Maybe ten or so minutes."

The director looked apologetically at Jiang Cheng and said, "How about we wait a bit here, let him retrieve the file first, so we avoid your loss?"

Jiang Cheng said nothing, just glanced at Xiao Jingyuan, then walked toward the side office.

Ye Qing hurriedly followed.

Chu Siqi didn't leave; she sat on the nearby sofa.

No, she had to keep an eye on it!

The on‑screen writer was responsible for helping the parents find the file, and the others resumed work.

Although it just provoked the protagonist's displeasure here, that's not what they're considering— the director said if they don't stop, they can't stop.

Xiao Jingyuan's assistant walked over to him and whispered, "I don't know what junk this is; even if we recover it, what difference does it make?"

Xiao Jingyuan furrowed his brows and said, "Keep a low profile; don't be so rash."

The assistant said: "I did it on purpose; if I don't push forward, I let you push forward—it's too damaging to the image. But if we both appear weak, we'll lose credibility."

"Don't worry, this is from experience; the more you provoke them, the more they'll pay attention."

"Only actors who lack both fame and skill will be timid in the theater."

Xiao Jingyuan didn't say more, walked over to the sofa and sat down with the female lead.

Actually, he also knew what was going on.

That's how he gradually became famous; after he gained a little fame, Jingjiren arranged things this way for him.

At first he didn't understand, but later he realized that in the theater, the more he was a troublemaker, the more people thought he was hot, and resources and roles would tilt toward him.

"What just happened?" asked an actress like the female lead.

Xiao Jingyuan said: "Eh, nothing much, just a small-time company employee trying to make a presence."

Then the two happily chatted away.

Then a crew member ran over and told the director: "Director, Zhang Anqi has arrived!"
