Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 696: Will Ding Ruifan Help Her?

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Will Ding Ruifan Help Her?
Gu Shiting didn’t say anything more.
His driving was smooth the whole way, delivering Sheng Tang back to Gu Jiahui’s apartment.
The car entered the residential area, and he stood beside the car, watching Sheng Tang as she went home.
Sheng Tang waved at him, "Go back."
Gu Shiting’s gaze was steady, just quietly observing her, as if trying to engrave her silhouette into his heart.
When Sheng Tang got home, no one was there; both Gu Jiahui and Cheng Lichuan were busy.
She took out her script.
In the evening, Gu Jiahui came back from work to check on her wound.
Sheng Tang showed him.
"It’s not deep," Gu Jiahui felt relieved, then naturally pulled her into his embrace.
Sheng Tang: "..."
She didn’t quite understand the meaning of this gesture, feeling it was a bit too much for their relationship.
However, she didn’t push him away.
Just as she had said herself, she was a competent contract performer; she wouldn’t shy away, not even from a kiss, if Gu Jiahui wanted to.
Gu Jiahui gently held her, but after about a minute, he seemed to snap out of it and let her go.
He stood up and headed to his room, casually reminding, "Be more careful from now on."
The next day, Gu Jiahui had to go on a business trip.
He planned to go to Australia for work, and also to catch Yang Mingming’s debut performance with the opera group she’d joined.
Gu Jiahui wanted to seize this opportunity.
He asked Sheng Tang to take him to the airport, making it appear as though they were reluctant to part.
Sheng Tang carried his bag and handed it to him at the airport, "Good luck."
Gu Jiahui nodded.
"If you need anything, call me. I might be gone for two to three weeks," Gu Jiahui said.
Sheng Tang: "There won’t be any issues, don’t worry."
Before Gu Jiahui returned, Zheng Weiwei notified her that the crew for "Who’s Afraid of the Workplace" had already been assembled, and the script reading would take place in Beijing, asking Sheng Tang to go there.
Sheng Tang flew to Beijing, spending four days there attending the script reading, character analysis, and a simple group dinner with the crew.
Time flew by.
In mid-March, the filming of "Who’s Afraid of the Workplace" officially began, with the location set at the film city in S City.
Two days before shooting started, the crew members arrived in S City one after another and checked into the hotel booked for them.
Zheng Weiwei and producer Wang Xi were the last to arrive, coming via Zheng Weiwei’s private jet.
"Weiwei, I found out something, and I need to tell you." Producer Wang Xi opened hesitantly.
"Go ahead." Zheng Weiwei set aside the documents and focused on listening.
They had worked together for many years and understood each other well.
Producer Wang Xi: "Our second female lead, Sheng Tang, is from S City. I heard she has offended quite a few big figures."
"Xi Lingtu and his wife, right," Zheng Weiwei wasn’t fazed, "Who knows what happened exactly. I don’t believe Sheng Tang would try to seduce Xi Lingtu."
Sheng Tang was Young Master Gu’s ex-girlfriend, that alone meant her standards wouldn’t be so low.
Besides, Zheng Weiwei didn’t think Xi Lingtu and his wife were big figures.
"No, it’s Director Lei Yanhui," Producer Wang Xi said, "I heard Lei Yanhui announced that anyone who hired Sheng Tang would be going against him.
You know how united the people from S City are in the film industry, and Lei Yanhui is one of them. Of course, he’s not as influential as the likes of Ding Ruifan, Han Zheng, or Hong Xin.
But Sheng Tang has no local ties and yet managed to antagonize Lei Yanhui. That’s troublesome. Are you sure you want to use her? The girl is too beautiful, and that will bring more trouble."
A tall tree catches the wind.
It’s not that Sheng Tang is unworthy, but just her beauty alone makes many men desire her and resent her when they can’t have her.
Xi Lingtu and Lei Yanhui probably felt the same way.
The producer saw Sheng Tang as a destabilizing factor.
"Didn’t she work with Ding Ruifan on ’Invincible Life’?" Zheng Weiwei defended Sheng Tang, "She knows Ding Ruifan, and his status in the small circle far outweighs Lei Yanhui."
"The key is, she merely knows Ding Ruifan, without any deep connection. Why would Ding Ruifan stand up to Lei Yanhui for her, right?" the producer said.
