Chapter 484: 483. Give up the job

"Aiyo, I’m going, no wonder they say online you’re full of aggressive charm, I’m even feeling a little fluttery myself!"

This is totally the Overbearing Boss, even as a single, older leftover woman, I want to go ’yīng yīng yīng.’"

Tang Shu: "..."

Her face was covered in black lines.

"I just can’t hold back—"

Geng Qiuqiu, dressed in period costume, said, "You have no idea how seductive you look right now."

Tang Shu’s mouth twitched; she only knew that as a beautiful woman, she could charm men, but she never expected that one day she could charm women as well.

Indeed, modern people are beyond reasoning.

"Sister Geng is quite seductive right now too."

At that moment, Geng Qiuqiu’s heroine look in red, with finely applied makeup on her brows and eyes and lip glaze sparkling in the sunlight, brought charm with every frown and smile.

"Don’t start on me now, come on, let’s go meet someone."

With a flutter, she dragged Tang Shu to a man in his forties.

"Director, this is Tang Shu!"

"Hello, Miss Tang, welcome, welcome."

The director of the production was very happy to see Tang Shu, his eyes beamed with excitement as he looked at her.

Aiyo, is this the actress that’s causing such a stir online? She really is beautiful!

Every director has a keen eye, and just one glance was enough to know that this girl has a limitless future; she has the looks, the figure, the temperament. It would be a travesty for someone like her not to become famous.

Tang Shu only knew Geng Qiuqiu called her for an ’emergency rescue,’ but had no clue what the rescue entailed. Seeing the director so thrilled, she had some idea of what was happening.

"Good afternoon, Director. You can just call me Tang Shu."

"Alright, alright, Tang Shu. Little Qiu must have told you that one of our actors had a sudden issue, and we’re really lucky to have you step in."

Tang Shu paused for a moment, then glanced at Geng Qiuqiu, "She told me, don’t worry."

"I’ll have Little Qiu go over the lines and movements with you later, let’s prepare a bit. We’re truly indebted to you this time."

Geng Qiuqiu was starring in a period comedy film, originally prepared for the summer season, belonging to the category of low-budget films. There was a role of an Ice Beauty in the story, beautiful as a flower, with few lines but many actions. The previous actress wanted to portray an Ice Beauty persona but couldn’t handle the difficulties of wirework and kept failing takes. After the director criticized her, she walked out.

"Did she leave?"

"She did, dropped the job and left."

In the hotel, Geng Qiuqiu held the script, enlightening her on some aspects of the movie’s plot, her eyes filled with a hint of disdain as she mentioned the person in question.

"That beauty was too much of a prima donna. Ever since she joined the crew, she never showed a speck of kindness to any of us, a minor second-tier star with three assistants and four bodyguards. How could someone like that bear hardships?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Shu set aside the script in her hands, which held only a few lines she already had memorized.

"Did she breach her contract with the production?"

"Of course, the director will bring you the contract soon. It’s not easy to have you come all the way to West Market. Her leaving in a huff really troubled the crew."

When an actor breaches their contract, what worries the production the most is filling the gap. Staying an extra day in West Market creates another day’s expenses: the hotel, filming locations, equipment and so on. It’s costly.

They can’t afford it.

"I understand."

***

An hour and a half later, Tang Shu, dressed in white, holding a long sword, stood under the spotlight.

Her white gossamer gown, properly tailored, gave off an ethereal air. Tang Shu wore a delicate, light makeup on her face, her porcelain-white skin crystal clear and flawless, but her eyes were exceptionally cold, matching her white gown and adding a touch of chilliness.
