Chapter 1517: Backed by Family

Good grief.

Targeted ignorance, huh?

Shen Bin deliberately lagged behind the group to walk alongside Nan Jiaojiao, “Xiao Nan, I’m not familiar with Director Chen. What are his preferences? Tell me when you have a chance.”

Nan Jiaojiao pressed her lips together.

“I mean no harm. Every director has their own insistence on styling. It’s good to ask clearly to avoid violating their taboos.”

What taboos could that old fox Director Chen have? Anyway, Nan Jiaojiao hadn’t discovered any. Besides handling the camera and directing, he is notoriously hands-off with everything else.

At first, Nan Jiaojiao would proactively ask Director Chen questions, holding his thermos cup, he would grin like an idiot and say everything was fine no matter what she said.

“I only know a smidgen. Our designer is really good. She comes up with the styling, and we just follow it. It’s very easy.”

“Can you introduce me to that designer then? I’d like to get to know her.”

Nan Jiaojiao deliberately paused for a few seconds, “You should talk to President Pei about that. I’ve never met her either.”

Shen Bin still wore a slight smile, appearing not at all aggressive. On closer inspection, one might notice his eyes squint slightly for a moment. He didn’t press further, but walked along with Nan Jiaojiao, having an idle chat. Noticing Nan Jiaojiao’s dismissive tone, as they approached the department, he stopped talking. Once back in his office, conveniently next door to Yu Bing, he went inside.

Yue Yu pulled Nan Jiaojiao to sit down, looking around excitedly and whispering, “Jiaojiao, you’re amazing! You’ve worked with Director Chen? He’s Director Chen, our national treasure-level director. Those who work with him are all A-listers. How many have you met? How about Chu Yao? Have you interacted with Chu Yao?”

Nan Jiaojiao asked, “You like Chu Yao?”

“Like? Of course, I do! It’s Chu Yao! My god, the divine beauty goddess!”

Yue Yu wasn’t easily sidetracked, pursuing questions about Director Chen again.

Nan Jiaojiao lied more naturally now, “I’ve been with the crew, just an assistant stylist, no direct contact with Director Chen.”

Yue Yu sighed in disappointment but quickly regained her excitement, “No worries, take your time. We’re still young. As long as we’re capable, we’ll eventually get to meet these people!”

Nan Jiaojiao: “Yes…”

She suppressed her smile, took out her phone, and sent a message to Bo Yanching under the table.

He called immediately, but Nan Jiaojiao hung up and replied with two words: “At work.”

He responded instantly, “Dinner with Brother Pei tonight. I’ve arranged it.”

So fast!

It was just a few seconds after she sent her complaint.

Men really are quick, not one for wasting words.

Nan Jiaojiao felt briefly comforted, “It’s nice to have someone at home to lean on.”

“Then get married soon. It’ll be even more legitimate.”

She replied with a simple “Haha,” and only realized afterward that it might have seemed a bit sarcastic. Before she could retract it, she quickly sent a fawning follow-up to smooth things over.

…

The car stopped outside the studio.

Xu Shu glanced outside, “Is this the place?”

“It is,” Xu Tingting unbuckled her seatbelt, “We followed the address, shouldn’t be wrong.”

Xu Shu asked, “Why shoot an ad in a place like this? Hope you haven’t been duped. The brand you’re signed with is quite renowned.”

“There’s a photo studio inside. For an ad shoot, can’t exactly be done at their main factory, and the company isn’t suitable either. They handle arrangements like this.”
