Chapter 1595: The Leading Lady

Ye Linlin lifted her head and walked away.

Nan Jiaojiao noticed, the young lady didn’t drive a private car here; she was heading towards the bus stop.

Bo Yanching got out of the car, and Nan Jiaojiao quickly dashed over, pushed him back into the vehicle, slammed the door shut, and hurried to get in from the other side.

She looked up and met the man’s dark expression, shrinking her neck awkwardly, “What’s wrong?”

“Am I so embarrassing, or am I useless?”

“No, not at all.”

“Then why do you always hide me away?”

Faced with the boss’s questioning, Nan Jiaojiao almost reflexively spouted nonsense, “Not true! You’re so good-looking, I want to show you off to the world, but you don’t like people crowding around you, I’m just being considerate!”

Bo Yanching knew exactly what she was thinking, just those little thoughts, not even bothering to hide them from him.

His eyes flicked sideways for a moment, “What did your sister talk to you about?”

“Didn’t say much, she’s starting to work at E.Y, just stopping by to say hello.”

Bo Yanching squinted at her, “You usually don’t like the Ye family; if she’s giving you trouble, I’ll get rid of her for you.”

Nan Jiaojiao refused, “Ye Linlin is different from the other Ye Family members. She might give me the cold shoulder, but she’s never done anything harmful. Several times, she’s even defended me. My peaceful coexistence with the Ye Family owes much to her actively drawing fire away from me. Her nature isn’t bad, though she’s been spoiled growing up, she doesn’t have those bad tempers. I haven’t seen her design sketches, but to get into E.Y, she must have some skills. How overbearing would I be to block her way for no reason?”

Bo Yanching felt that her temperament has gotten better lately.

Even towards the Ye family, she’s saying nice things.

It’s only been a few months, such a big change in her disposition.

Bo Yanching didn’t argue with her, “You’re always right, and I end up being the bad guy.”

Nan Jiaojiao hugged his arm, leaned over to take a bite, wiped off the saliva she got on his face, and giggled, “Uncle Bo isn’t bad, how can you be the bad guy, you’re the best!”

Bo Yanching poked her forehead, playfully scolding, “Smooth talker!”

…

The next day.

Nan Jiaojiao checked in at the company in the morning, then went with Su Miaotong to the filming location.

The film city wasn’t far; they joined the crew but didn’t need to stay with them. They just went about daily commuting as usual, while the crew’s actors and staff stayed at the nearby hotel.

Zhou Po personally picked them up, leading the way to the styling room.

With sufficient funds, Director Chen allocated a particularly spacious styling room for them. The scenes for the day were communicated to them the day before, matching outfits were sent to the RV to make changing clothes convenient for the actors.

Once all the preparations were done, the female lead hadn’t arrived yet, and Director Chen leisurely went for a stroll, his thermos cup open, where a few goji berries could be seen steaming at the bottle’s mouth.

After stretching his legs several times, his assistant notified him that the female lead had arrived, prompting him to casually saunter back to his position.

The female lead came with her makeup done in the hotel; she had a separate lounge area. Su Miaotong was tied up, so she asked Nan Jiaojiao to take the lead actress’s first scene costume over.

Only today did Nan Jiaojiao learn that the female lead was a three-time Best Actress winner, Shu Jin.

She has great acting skills, every movie is a hit, and the few TV dramas she occasionally descends to participate in become blockbusters. She’s in her early thirties, classically trained, her first movie was well-received, and she’s been popular ever since. Her temper isn’t great; she only accepts interviews from reputable mainstream media, while third-rate media can’t get close or secure interview materials.

Together with Chu Yao, they’re called Southern Chu and Northern Jin.
