Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

The next day, when Luosang was lying on her bed and looking at her phone, she got a call from the director of team Fanyu. “Miss Xu, I’m sorry, but I have to let you know that your work schedule has been moved to the middle of next month.”

“Why?” Luosang asked with surprise.

The director replied impatiently, “How can you be shameless enough to ask why? Don’t you know who you have offended? Shi Xiang is a superstar, and you actually tried to seduce him at work. If we had known that the voice actress Ji Nuanyi had recommended was so unprofessional, we wouldn’t have picked you. However, as you’ve already worked for two days, and you’re pretty good, we only moved your schedule to the middle of next month, so you don’t have to work together with Shi Xiang.”

Luosang understood why and got so angry. Yesterday, she did worry that she might offend Shi Xiang. However, she also felt that he wouldn’t be so narrow-minded, because he was Yan Su’s boyfriend, after all. But to her surprise…”When did I seduce him? Director, I can even confront him about it. I didn’t do it, I just didn’t.” Luosang felt humiliated.

“You’re nothing but a voice actress. How dare you demand to confront him?” The director sounded very unfriendly. “Shi Xiang is a superstar. Does he have a reason to frame you?”

“I didn’t do it. And, you can’t act like this. You told me that I’m working at the end of this month, so I’ve asked my school for leave, and I’ve flown here. Now you’re telling me that I need to come back next month. Aren’t you jerking me around? We’re in this business, so we need to follow the rules of this business. You’re right, we voice actresses are insignificant, but please respect us.” Luosang made an utmost effort to fight for her rights.

“If you think it’s inappropriate, feel free to do whatever you want. But, you have already signed the contract, so if you quit, we won’t cover your expenses, and you’ll need to compensate for our losses. After all, if you quit, the past two days that we’ve spent on you would be wasted.”

Luosang was infuriated. Some other companies had deducted her wages before when she worked for them. However, she had never been accused of seduction. The Fanyu people had taken the liberty of changing her schedule because their company was big and rich. She had to finish her work, because otherwise, she would need to pay them for their losses. That was so shameless.

The most shameless one was Shi Xiang. She had had a good impression of him at first because he was incredibly handsome. However, he actually made up lies about her behind her back. The more she thought about that, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She found Yan Su’s number, as she wanted to call her, but still, she didn’t do it. Yan Su had already been in a very bad mood yesterday. If she complained about Shi Xiang to her, she would feel embarrassed, and she might get even sadder. Besides, Yan Su and Shi Xiang had known each other since high school, while she only had known her for about a year. Perhaps Yan Su would tend to believe Shi Xiang more.

Luosang dropped her phone.

…

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Luosang headed straight to the studio at Fanyu. When she arrived, she saw Tang Cheng and Zhou Wanke talking by the door. Seeing her, Tang Cheng gave her a glance with pity, then pushed the door open and walked into the studio. Zhou Wanke tuned back, smiled at her, and said, “Xu Luosang, what are you doing here? As far as I know, your schedule has been changed, right?”

Luosang narrowed her eyes and said, “They switched my schedule with yours?”

“Didn’t you know?” said Zhou Wanke scornfully. “That’s because you tried to seduce Shi Xiang. I don’t like your kind of people the most. You always pretend to be so virtuous, but in private, you do things like that. From this day on, I’ll be teaching Shi Xiang voice acting.”
