Chapter 1823: Better Than You

Miss Lu gave a call, asking her what madness she was up to.

Nan Jiaojiao replied without batting an eye, “Submitting work to my sugar daddy.”

Lu Zhenzhen snorted, “Just put on a show, really. Do you think I can actually critique your stuff? I haven’t even rushed you. It’s been such a short time and you’ve already given me three pieces. If you get exhausted, who’s to blame? I don’t want Mr. Bo to come knocking on my door with complaints.”

Nan Jiaojiao chuckled.

Being showered with money feels wonderful.

“Keep your evening open for dinner together.”

“I don’t want to,” Nan Jiaojiao rejected without hesitating, “I want to go home for dinner. Bo Yanching’s cooking is so good.”

“Would you die if you didn’t show off in front of me?”

Nan Jiaojiao silently mouthed words but dared not speak aloud.

“Chu Yao is coming back tonight. I didn’t catch what time her flight is. Let me know when you’re done with work, and I’ll come pick you up. We can eat and wait for her together.”

“No, don’t come. Just send me the location, and I’ll go by myself.”

Lu Zhenzhen: “Am I not presentable?”

“It’s me who’s not so presentable. There are many eyes in the film crew. I just want to get through these months quietly.”

Lu Zhenzhen sneered, “I won’t get out of the car and I’ll bring a cheaper one.”

“The cheapest car in your garage is worth more than me.”

Lu Zhenzhen thought for a moment and then accepted her rich woman’s role with ease.

“Jiaojiao.”

Su Miaotong brought over a fruit platter, “Producer Zhou is treating everyone, here’s your share.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked up, “Thanks.”

Su Miaotong’s eyes glanced over her computer, “Busy? Did you send the design drafts?”

“Sent.”

“Make sure to back up your files, so they don’t get messy when you make changes. Miss Lu might not respond quickly, so you can take a break.”

Su Miaotong lightly tapped her fingers on the table, bending slightly, “Want to have dinner together tonight? It’s rare to relax.”

Nan Jiaojiao: “Sorry, I have plans tonight, maybe another day.”

“Again?”

Nan Jiaojiao smiled, “I really do. A friend is back from out of town, and we’re meeting up.”

“Oh, then you should definitely go.”

Su Miaotong tapped the table, “Get busy then. I need to watch the next scene. Take a break and come over afterward.”

Nan Jiaojiao replied with a light “Hmm.”

“Master Su, your apprentice here is more impressive than you,” Shen Bin held a teacup, lounging on a rocking chair, gently blew the goji berries floating on the water, “You’ve spent nearly ten years in this industry going from a little-known designer to a big name. Yet even now, getting an order from someone like Miss Lu is tough for you.”

Shen Bin let out a chuckle, his gaze slowly sweeping over Nan Jiaojiao, “Isn’t that impressive?”

There were quite a few people in the lounge. Originally, the film crew assigned two adjacent rooms, but with just Su Miaotong and Nan Jiaojiao, whenever they discussed work, they’d go to Shen Bin’s. Within a few days, the crew assumed the other room was unnecessary and turned it into a temporary prop room.

Su Miaotong wasn’t pleased and went to Zhou Bin about it. Zhou Bin immediately got the room back for them, but the crew grumbled a bit when moving things, which was unpleasant to hear. Coincidentally, both Su Miaotong and Nan Jiaojiao were on set at the time, and it’s unclear what Shen Bin said to the crew, but they ended up moving everything back.

When they returned, Shen Bin was standing at the door waiting for them, personally inviting them into his lounge and clearing a space for their use.

Shen Bin had a great attitude then—first winning hearts, and then turning to appease.
