Chapter 1520: There's No Way to Avoid Feeling Wronged

Xu Tingting immediately got angry. She was not someone to be easily pushed around. She yanked open the curtain, ready to hurl insults, when Zhang Xue suddenly burst in, pushed her back inside, and spoke kindly to the man:

“Brother, don’t be angry. We just apologized to the director, and the director asked Tingting to come and change. The equipment is all set up over there. Let’s make the best use of our time, shall we? We’re all on the same team, let’s keep it peaceful…”

Zhang Xue glanced around, noticed hooks at the top, found the rings on the curtain, and hung it up.

“Tingting, look, this will do. I’m outside, go ahead and change.”

Xu Tingting was pushed back without a chance to argue.

Forget it, when you’re out working, you can’t avoid looking at people’s faces, and looking at faces often means swallowing pride.

She took the money, so she should just do her job.

Xu Tingting quickly changed her clothes, but once she put them on, she felt the dress was too short, too short to even step out in public.

The assistant director came to rush her, but she refused to go out no matter what. The two male staff members were about to forcibly open the curtain when Xu Tingting cited the law to make them back off.

With no other choice, the assistant director had to find another dress for her to change into. It was only slightly longer than the previous one, still revealing at the back, but at least there was no problem at the front. Xu Tingting went out draped in a coat. The assistant director and the two men were there, without introducing her, calling her over, and one of the men started applying makeup on her.

She realized the person was actually a makeup artist.

But, since when do makeup artists act so arrogantly!

The makeup didn’t take long, and Xu Tingting didn’t even feel like she had any on. She didn’t ask, in case they said it was meant to be a no-makeup look. She hadn’t even had a chance to warm the chair when she was called to the set for filming.

The director guided her to stand in front of the camera. Xu Tingting felt reluctant, and suddenly a girl came and took the coat draped over her shoulders. Instinctively, she tried to grab it back, blurting out: “My phone.”

She still remembered Xu Shu’s reminder.

The female assistant gave her a strange look. “We’re filming, why would you need a phone? Even if you’re a complete amateur, you shouldn’t lack common sense to this extent!”

This…

Who are these people!

Is everyone in this circle so arrogant!

In the car.

A call came in, Xu Shu answered, “Doctor Zhou.”

“Xiao Xu, it’s me.”

Xu Shu said, “Ah, I know, are you looking for me?”

“It’s like this, I just went to your office to find you, and they said you have the day off today?”

The other party was a doctor from the same hospital, twenty years older than Xu Shu, and they had a good relationship.

“Yes, I have the day off, sorry to let you make the trip for nothing. Is it the hospital needing me?”

“No, it’s me. Today is my little grandson’s first birthday, and he’s been fussing for me to go home early. I wanted to end things early and cover the next morning shift, but I can’t, there are too many patients. I know you’re off today, but you never seem to take a day off, so I thought you’d be there. I was hoping to swap rest days with you and make it up to you later, but you’re not in.”

Xu Shu lowered the car window, resting his elbow on the window ledge, “Yes, I’m busy today and couldn’t go to the hospital. Are you in a rush?”

“Ah, yes, there’s something,” ignoring the last part, Doctor Zhou curiously asked, “What’s going on?”

“Family matters. If it were any other time, I’d swap with you. But I really can’t leave today. If you’re in a hurry, I can ask around. Doctor Li is off today too. I’ll exchange my next day off with him.”
