Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Public Service Advertisement

Afterward, when the news broke, it appeared that the victim was someone with the surname Wang.

In other words, there was a very high possibility that this person was Wang Zhehai.

Shi Yaoguang thought carefully and realized there was a deeper issue.

There was a sequel to Wang Zhehai’s victim incident...

The woman who charmed Wang Zhehai’s father, coincidentally, was the same one who had switched her with Shi Yiqing.

In other words.

This woman was Shi Yiqing’s biological mother!

Realizing this, Shi Yaoguang even felt that Wang Zhehai’s decision was quite justified.

"Miss Shi, what do you think?"

Shi Yaoguang didn’t immediately say whether she agreed or not, but instead asked back, "If today’s incident had involved someone else, would you still have presented your proverbial tablet of allegiance?"

"No."

Wang Zhehai answered very succinctly.

"I had done my research on you beforehand, knew about your grudges with Shi Yiqing, and I really hadn’t thought of doing anything at first. It was only after seeing her that I made up my mind."

"Hmm?" Shi Yaoguang was curious, "Why?"

"Because..." Wang Zhehai made a disgusted face, "she reminded me of someone from the past."

Just from his expression, it was clear what he was thinking of.

Shi Yaoguang had an idea but didn’t immediately agree. She decided to investigate further to make sure there were no issues with Wang Zhehai before she would agree.

When Wang Zhehai received the message, he was overjoyed and started to coordinate the beginning of the film’s production that very day.

Still, film preparation required some time.

During this preparation time, Wang Zhehai was not willing to waste any of it.

"I have a public service advertisement that needs to be shot, and I wonder if Miss Shi would be interested?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang directly asked, "Do you think I would be interested?"

"I think you would."

Wang Zhehai straightforwardly shared the details of the public service advertisement with her, "The content of this ad is mainly to promote intangible cultural heritage projects, with the aim of fostering traditional culture and ensuring its continuity."

He confidently said, "Miss Shi, you have a good relationship with Miss Cheng, and she is interested in learning fragrance blending from Madame Xiao. She’s even preparing to set up her own studio. If you are interested, you could include Miss Cheng’s fragrance blending craft in the advertisement..."

In order to persuade Shi Yaoguang, Wang Zhehai listed a plethora of benefits.

Unsurprisingly, Shi Yaoguang agreed.

The advertisement shoot was scheduled for the weekend, which didn’t conflict with her class schedule, conveniently saving Shi Yaoguang the trouble of asking for leave.

This public service advertisement shoot was to promote traditional culture.

The location was set in the suburbs, and Shi Yaoguang headed to the shoot site after school on Friday.

She went to familiarize herself with the content that would be shot next.

The director of this public service advertisement was named Director Xu Qian, and she had a bit of a thing with Wang Zhehai.

Of course, that wasn’t the point.

The reason Wang Zhehai was so eager to have Shi Yaoguang shoot the advertisement was to take advantage of an existing opportunity.

The movie that Wang Zhehai was preparing had some connections to the historical culture promoted by the public service advertisement.

Once the advertisement was released, he planned to piggyback on it to save on advertising costs.

This was Shi Yaoguang’s own assumption.

Wang Zhehai also shared a bit of information with her privately.

"This time, take a look at the male artist co-starring with you and see if any catch your eye..."

Shi Yaoguang subconsciously came up with a number when she heard these words.

"Director, by asking this, you couldn’t possibly be unable to decide on a male lead and want me to pick one based on rapport, could you?"

"Not exactly..." Wang Zhehai wiped his forehead, looking slightly embarrassed, "I... I’m just worried that Miss Shi might not accept it."

"Not accept it?" Shi Yaoguang smiled, "Based on what you’re saying, does that mean you already have someone in mind?"

Upon mentioning this, Wang Zhehai’s expression became somewhat guilty.

"Well... Although I do have a preferred candidate, the final decision still rests with Miss Shi. If Miss Shi doesn’t like him, you can certainly replace him."

Wang Zhehai was somewhat regretful as he said this, but he wasn’t caught up in it.

Nonsense, he had already gone through great lengths to get Shi Yaoguang on board, would he fuss over a male lead?

Though that was said, Shi Yaoguang could still discern an extraordinary significance from his pained expression.

The male lead Wang Zhehai wanted might not be irreplaceable, but to say he wasn’t important at all wasn’t quite true either.

With this thought, Shi Yaoguang had an inkling of the situation.

...

The scale of the public service advertisement filming this time was not small.

Each city sent its representatives, while the top brass directly dispatched renowned directors to undertake this task.

Director Xu Qian was responsible for the Mingzhu City section.

Out of Mingzhu City’s most prestigious nineteen traditional crafts, she was tasked with half of them.

She was responsible for filming the lantern painting technique, Zhou Huchen’s brush-making technique, Cao Sugong’s ink-making technique, Jiading Bamboo Carving, Gu Xiu, Rong Xiu, and the making of handcrafted Qipaos.

Director Xu Qian granted Shi Yaoguang the freedom to choose which craft she preferred, out of consideration for Wang Zhehai, letting her film whichever she liked.

When it came to choices, Shi Yaoguang was never one to dither.

"I’m fine with anything, it’s up to you, Director Xu, to arrange," she said.

No sooner had Shi Yaoguang finished her sentence than she was mocked.

"You’re fine with anything? Ha, aren’t you just boasting!"

The newcomer had a strong aura of hostility, which was apparent from her sarcastic tone even before she was seen.

On hearing the other party’s voice, Shi Yaoguang’s eyebrows quirked up.

What a coincidence.

It was an acquaintance.

As she was contemplating this, in came a woman, her eyes heavy with smoky makeup and lips painted a fiery red, sashaying in with swaying hips.

"Yo, isn’t this Miss Shi? What’s the matter... kicked out by the Shi Family and can’t make a living?"

An Siqi sneered mockingly, "I thought the Shi family’s daughter was so extraordinary, but it turns out she’s nothing special..."

With no mercy, she used harsh words to put down Shi Yaoguang, forgetting...

That Shi Yaoguang was not the only one present.

Without waiting for Shi Yaoguang to retort, the director scolded her first.

"Fallen on such hard times? What, is shooting my advertisement now considered a hardship?"

Director Xu Qian’s voice was cold as she questioned her.

Upon hearing this, An Siqi’s face stiffened, and she hurriedly explained, "That’s not what I meant, Director Xu, please don’t be angry, I... I was just..."

"Just what?" Director Xu Qian was clearly not indulging her, "You know exactly how you got here, and I was willing to spare you some face, but since you don’t appreciate it, I have nothing else to say."

"You’d better remember that you’re here to shoot the advertisement not because I begged you to come. If you have any dissatisfaction, you’d better get out right now."

An Siqi was scolded harshly, mentally tearing Director Xu Qian into pieces a thousand times over.

Similarly, she didn’t spare Shi Yaoguang either. If looks could kill, Shi Yaoguang would have turned into a puddle of mush by now.
