The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 439

Liu Xin and her assistant followed Ye Jiahe to the set's control room. Qiao Sixiao smiled and came over to ask Hong Dou,

"Come, tell me, why is my bear in your hands?"

As she spoke, she pointed at the little bear Hong Dou was holding, not too big, dressed in blue and white striped clothes.

"His name is Le Ye."

Hong Dou told Qiao Sixiao. Seeing no kindness in her eyes, Hong Dou handed the little bear back to her, and also muttered in a low voice,

"He is Ju An's girlfriend."

Qiao Sixiao was confused,

"Why is he called Le Ye? And who let you take it?"

Xiao Liu, the assistant to Director He, had to step forward and apologize again.

She was with Hong Dou, waiting at the hotel, the original plan was just to visit the set, and they would go back that night, so after getting off the car Xiao Wang received them, and they waited in Qiao Sixiao’s room.

Who knew this kid went everywhere and sneaked into the bedroom, taking Qiao Sixiao’s things from beside the pillow.

Because he was very close with his auntie, he didn’t yet have the awareness of “should not take”.

Xiao Liu didn't think the bear belonged to little Qiao, she just thought it was Hong Dou's toy, after all Hong Dou always loved to bring several little toys when going out.

Su Yang, who was standing to the side, also heard it, and realized she had overestimated Brother Dou. He gave names to the little figures, names like living in peace and contentment, probably taught by his kindergarten teacher, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

...

"Teacher Liu, this way please."

The little assistant of Director Yuan led Liu Xin to the set's control room. Before entering, she smiled and said again,

"Actually Teacher Liu doesn't need to take this little thing too seriously, I don't think it's necessary."

Liu Xin impatiently rolled her eyes and sneered,

"Interesting, who are you? Do you think your opinion is very important? I remember you just said you were the director's assistant, so there is still a difference between the assistant and the director, right? Do I need to listen to your advice?"

"That's not the case either."

Ye Jiahe said,

"Then Miss Liu please go inside."

Ye Jiahe took Liu Xin into the control room, then said to the staff on duty in the control room,

"Xiao Jiang, you're on duty!"

The colleague nodded, glanced at Liu Xin, clearly not interested in this female celebrity, so just glanced at her, and then asked Ye Jiahe:

"I'll be changing shifts later, do you have something?"

Ye Jiahe introduced them:

"This is Teacher Liu Xin, an actress in our crew, and this is..."

As a well-known actress, being treated coldly by these two young people, Liu Xin was already a little unhappy. This assistant still wanted to introduce people she didn't want to know to her, and she was even more impatient. So she impatiently interrupted her words:

"Check the surveillance for me, just now the actors' break area, don't ask why, just do as I say."

Xiao Jiang glanced at Xiao Ye, then said "OK", and slowly began to check the surveillance records.

Half an hour later, Xiao Jiang finally said,

"I found it, please take a look."

Liu Xin waved her hand at Xiao Jiang, signaling her to move aside, then sat down herself, facing the screen and opened the exported surveillance video.

The half-hour long video had people coming and going. Liu Xin stared at it for half an hour. What she wanted to see wasn't there at all.

"This is not the segment, find it for me again."

Liu Xin turned her head and said to Xiao Jiang.

Xiao Jiang tilted her head, looking confused, "Isn't this it? What else do you want to see, Teacher Liu?"

"I was sitting in the break area just now, a kid came over and hit me with a ball, three times! I want to see that part! Now! Otherwise I'll go find your producer!"

She was blunt. Xiao Jiang didn't need to be polite and patient anymore either. She pointed at the time on the screen:

"Take a look, this is the segment, from when you came in to half an hour ago, the surveillance of the rest area. If you want to look further back, no problem, I can find it for you again.

But I think I need to let the set's executive producer know, after all I have my own work to do. You've already delayed me for an hour. If I don't finish my work, my superior will blame me too."

Liu Xin pointed at the video on the screen and said to Xiao Jiang:

"It can't be the surveillance just now. I was sitting in the break area all along. A kid came and hit me with a ball, three times! I want to see that part! Now! Otherwise I'll go find your producer!"

She was blunt. Xiao Jiang didn't need to be polite anymore either. She pointed at the time on the screen:

"Take a look, this is it, if it's not there then it's not there. Going to the producer and director won't help either. Respect the objective facts, okay!

And, taking a step back, Teacher Liu, you're an adult, haggling with some kid, did a seventeen year old kid hit you on the head with a lead ball? Can it make you so angry??"

Being ridiculed by a nobody, Liu Xin was furious. It seemed the surveillance wouldn't produce any results either. Liu Xin simply took her anger out on the staff.

Liu Xin looked coldly at Xiao Jiang:

"Don't come to work tomorrow, you're fired. Our company is also an investor, I can still do this much."

As she spoke, she glanced again at Director Yuan's little assistant,

"I'll also tell Director Yuan about your attitude, move aside."

"Alright, Teacher Liu."

Ye Jiahe obediently moved aside, and took the initiative to open the door for her to leave.

After sending Liu Xin away, Ye Jiahe leisurely came back and threw a candy to Xiao Jiang:

"Thanks for the hard work."

"We're classmates, and even roommates, it's what I should do."

Xiao Jiang tore open the candy wrapper and popped the fruit candy into her mouth,

"But what's the situation? You even used those secret words from military training."

These new freshmen, during the long military training process, had secretly created a set of code words.

It wasn't specific language, but when speaking a sentence, using tone and emphasis to hint to the other person.

For example, deliberately asking Xiao Jiang something she obviously knew, that was telling Xiao Jiang—

"I'm going to say code words to you, pay attention and listen!"

And Xiao Jiang would also reply with some small talk, telling Ye Jiahe—

"Go ahead, I'm ready!"

Then Ye Jiahe would casually emphasize "Teacher Liu", that was the thing she needed to do next, which was to sing the opposite tune of Liu Xin.

If she wanted surveillance, then don't give her surveillance. In short, don't let her get her way.

These were originally used to deal with Song Huan during military training, but after using them back and forth, Song Huan decoded them.

Unexpectedly, Song Huan didn't criticize them. On the contrary, she helped them improve their code words, making them simpler, clearer and more covert. She openly and secretly encouraged them to practice on other instructors. Over time, almost all the freshmen training together had learned them.

This little secret made them have closer and more united relationships during military training. This was their common secret. Afterwards, whenever someone used it, everyone felt a sense of intimacy, as if they had returned to that summer, when they were intimate comrades-in-arms.

Ye Jiahe spread her hands and told the truth:

"Don't you feel this woman is too annoying, relying on her background and celebrity status?"

Xiao Jiang nodded:

"Yeah, she's pretty annoying. I really dislike this kind of arrogant people. Ugh, no manners and she wants to fire me... If hacking into someone else's computer wasn't illegal, I could... Nevermind, got sidetracked. Xiao Ye, from my understanding of you, you're not the kind of person who loves to meddle, unless she provoked you, or..."

Ye Jiahe laughed. It feels so good that her classmate isn't stupid. She replied:

"That's right, this woman actually wants to deal with senior sister!"
