Chapter 1696: Coincidence

Qiao Man’s idea, Nan Jiaojiao was aware of it; she’s not stupid. If she doesn’t quickly clarify, should she just sit back and let herself be used?

The man in the café, whether in dress or demeanor, was very similar to Mo Tingshen, with the same thin-framed glasses; he had a familiar aura.

If you can’t get the real deal, is finding a substitute also an option?

She really couldn’t understand the mindset of these obsessive people.

Nan Jiaojiao carried the coffee back, Su Miaotong was almost done with work, she took the cup Nan Jiaojiao handed over, without looking at the flavor, she inserted the straw and took a sip.

She sighed heavily: “Back to life.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced around, “Is everything done?”

“I checked twice, nothing’s amiss. If recently my work focus wasn’t all on the film crew, my employees wouldn’t have made mistakes.”

Su Miaotong was temporarily called out by the company from the film crew.

The two employees under her gave the wrong samples when receiving clients, and during negotiations, they couldn’t articulate properly, failing to grasp the client’s needs; they didn’t meet the client’s demands, and even when delivering the finished product, they messed up and handed over a different, similar dress. The client was very angry and wanted to end the cooperation and also demanded compensation.

It was Qin Qing who negotiated the terms successfully.

The condition was to design according to the client’s requirements, focusing on details, and offer a 25% discount.

E.Y had never offered such a large discount before; Qin Qing didn’t agree, because if she did, it would lower the entire brand’s standard, so she resolved it by other means.

It was the trouble caused by Su Miaotong’s team, so naturally, she had to take responsibility.

Early in the morning, she went to several branches just to relocate those two similar dresses, otherwise, how could they satisfy the client’s demand for a unique dress?

“Can you handle the busy schedule? If not, you can take a leave from the film crew for a while.” Nan Jiaojiao suggested.

Su Miaotong thought for a moment, “Jiaojiao, don’t you think something’s wrong?”

“Hmm?”

“It’s too coincidental, feels like it was arranged by someone behind the scenes.”

“Maybe you’re overthinking it?”

Su Miaotong furrowed her brow, “Let’s hope it’s just that. I’ve already explained the situation to Producer Zhou; he did intend to grant me leave, but I refused, I can’t fall behind the crew’s schedule, and besides, if I leave, then our group would be just you alone, wouldn’t that be unfair?”

Nan Jiaojiao smiled and picked up a piece of pastry, asking Su Miaotong if she wanted some.

“Oh right, Producer Zhou is looking for you, when you get back to the film crew this afternoon, go see him.”

Nan Jiaojiao asked, “Did he say what it was about?”

“Not really,” Su Miaotong rubbed her sore neck, “Let’s go back to the company first, I’ll go find Director Qin, then head back to the film crew, don’t want to delay things.”

She had only taken two sips of coffee before putting it down, turning to get back to work.

Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t afford to slack off, she went to help, significantly shortening the workload. After returning to the film crew, she went to see Producer Zhou.

Chu Yao’s “The Empress’s Killing” is about to air.

The trailer has been released several times, creating a high buzz online; two TV stations and three streaming apps will broadcast it simultaneously, the hype is quite intense. The film crew had a live stream before, except Director Chen and Chu Yao were absent.

They postponed things to accommodate Chu Yao’s schedule.

Rumor has it that a few days ago, Chu Yao finished filming a new drama and immediately coordinated with The Empress’s Killing team, setting the schedule for a series of lead actors and creators to start a nationwide promotion.

The first stop is Rongcheng City.
