Chapter 260: Don't Be So Shameless

There was a rehearsal in the morning. As the filming location was a special terrain in the pool, Xia Ling especially practiced a few more times to adapt to it.

She was careful not to slip and followed the flow of the water. She was exceptionally alert and showed off all of her capabilities. To those watching her at the side, she looked light and elegant and made difficult moves seem easy.

The camera crew gathered near the pool.

The assistant director pulled the person in charge of the props and whispered. “I can’t believe her manager, Sister Mai Na, said that this sort of dancing in the pool was difficult, insisted on more money and even limited the shooting time… I think it looks very simple.”

The person in charge of props nodded his head in agreement.

As Xia Ling adapted well to the pool, the filming started earlier as everyone wanted to film her earlier and end work earlier.

The crew was in place, the music and lights were ready, and she was like a fairy in the water, slowly dancing and swimming. Her posture was soft and beautiful with a slightly mysterious charm. Tiny crystal drops of water fell on her eyebrows as she stretched out her delicate fingers. Every move she made was a full part of an inexplicable rhythm, and people could not take their eyes off her.

For a while, everyone was in a trance and breathless.

The dance ended.

Xia Ling’s slender ankles stepped on the shore, and the silver bells around her ankles jingled.

Wei Wei brought over a large towel and covered the wet parts of her body with it. It was mid-summer, and it was air-conditioned indoors. As she had stayed in the pool for a long time, her body started to feel a hint of coolness.

Xia Ling used a hand to tighten the towel and gave the head director an enquiring look.

The head director nodded at her. “Ok, that was a good shot. You’ve had a long day.” He gave her a thumbs up.

Xia Ling smiled. After diligently practicing for so many years, she was not hiding her dancing skills anymore and could reap the rewards of her hard work. There were very few people in the world who could match up to her dancing. Thus, finishing the shoot in one take was not unexpected to her. Wei Wei and Sister Mai Na supported her as she made her way to the changing room. When she was dancing in the water, she did not feel the cold, but once she arrived on the shore, she felt colder.

“Slow down.” At this moment, a girl suddenly stopped her.

Xia Ling turned around, only to see Gu Lin. Why was she there?

Miss Gu was wearing a gorgeous red leather skirt that exposed her thighs, making her look so sexy that people could not look away from her. Many men in the studio were already looking at her.

Gu Lin was very delighted and arrogantly looked at Xia Ling. “I haven’t allowed you to go yet. Why are you leaving?”

Xia Ling did not respond.

Sister Mai Na already started speaking. “Excuse me, but who are you?” She said as she slightly frowned, her tone as cold as ice.

When she was dealing with someone who was trying so hard to look attractive, Sister Mai Na’s tone was scathing and truly had the aura of a proud queen. In contrast, Gu Lin looked as ridiculous as a kindergartener putting up a false show of strength.

“You don’t know who I am?” Gu Lin laughed coldly. “You must be Ye Xingling’s manager. I can’t believe you’re still in this industry with your poor judgment. No wonder you can only be in charge of someone like Ye Xingling with such a small role. In the future, I will mention you to Brother Lei and ask him to fire you as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will humiliate Skyart Entertainment.”

She spoke as if she were very close to Li Lei.

The head director frowned. This missy showed up out of nowhere and was so insensible, and she even dared to provoke Sister Mai Na. Sister Mai Na was a well-known manager in the industry, and her ability to argue with others was frightening. Seeing that his filming work was successfully completed, he did not want new problems to crop up unexpectedly.

Who was this moron?

Sister Mai Na also sneered and looked at the gorgeous girl in front of her. “Should I know you? I’m sorry, but do you have more fans than the number of fingers you have on one hand? Do you know how to sing or act?” With her ability to read people, she already saw that Gu Lin was not an artiste. She knew many artistes, and although she was pretty, her posture… Haha, she was a bit of a hunchback. Any random small star who had received training would not stand in such an ugly manner.

Gu Lin was enraged. This manager was so detestable and dared to have her nose in the air! When she returned home, she definitely must make Brother Lei fire her!

“I don’t have many fans.” Gu Lin raised her head and boasted arrogantly. “Why would anyone with a status like mine show in public like a small star. They have to rush to finish their jobs and suffer hardship, I’m sure life is not easy for them.” She glanced at Xia Ling scornfully. “Do your job well and don’t laze around idly.”

“What do you mean ‘laze around idly’?” Xia Ling was furious, her tone cold. “Gu Lin, you better listen clearly.”

Only then did the surrounding people realize that the gorgeous girl wearing the red leather skirt was called Gu Lin. This surname was very familiar…

“Miss Gu! Please don’t get mad.” A middle-aged man that was drenched in sweat ran into the studio. “I didn’t know that you were coming, so I did not come in time to welcome you. I’m very sorry about that. Miss Gu, are you hot? Come and drink some iced chrysanthemum tea, it will cool you down.” As he spoke, he diligently called for someone to send the tea over and personally brought it over to Gu Lin.

This middle-aged man was one of the chief inspectors of the Gu Financial Magnate and was also the one in charge of the shooting of this advertisement. He was called Qian Yong. He had met Gu Lin a few times before in the Gu Financial Magnate’s office. After he received the news that Gu Lin was here for “inspection,” he was determined to make a good impression so that he would be able to get a promotion and a higher salary.

Qian Yong had a very high position in the advertisement scene. Seeing that he was acting so servile, those who did not know Gu Lin were shocked as it seemed that she was of very high status. For some time, everyone looked at her with different expressions filled with curiosity, envy, and respect.

Gu Lin was very used to this type of scene. She looked at Xia Ling who was quietly standing with a large towel wrapped around her wet body. She elegantly took the cup of chrysanthemum tea from Qian Yong’s hands and slowly took a sip. “Those who work for the Gu Financial Magnate are the more sensible, unlike some people who think they are impressive because they became the spokesperson of our company. Ha, what a joke.”

Gu Financial Magnate?

After associating her surname with the company, everyone realized that she was the eldest daughter of the Gu Family. No wonder she was so arrogant. As for that artiste called Ye Xingling? She seemed to not be on good terms with Miss Gu. That was a pity for her. As an artiste, offending the advertiser who was paying her would lead to a terrible outcome.

Sure enough, Gu Lin said, “Ye Xingling, haven’t you been dumped by Brother Lei? What right do you have to continue being the Gu Financial Magnate’s spokesperson? In the past, you could rely on Brother Lei to protect you, but what about now? Don’t try to cling onto Brother Lei shamelessly.”
