Chapter 1841: Bullying the Weak with Power

Zhou Po’s expression remained unchanged, “In the previous film, the costume styling was also a collaboration with E.Y. At that time, Nan Jiaojiao was there, and she had interacted with Chu Yao, who quite liked this little girl.”

It wasn’t that Chu Yao was particularly impressive, but she didn’t have a single friend in the industry. As long as she could manage outward appearances, that was enough. To this day, very few in the industry have her phone number. Even when faced with some unsavory incidents, she couldn’t be bothered to get involved.

It’s really strange that she would protect Nan Jiaojiao.

Sister Lai was hesitant but couldn’t find a reason to object, so she dropped it.

Nan Jiaojiao was pulled along by Chu Yao for quite a distance, and never let go of her hand. She looked back, sighed softly.

Chu Yao, who had been talking nonstop, actually heard it. She turned her head and stared at her, “Why are you sighing?”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her eyelids slightly, “It’s nothing.”

“Don’t say it’s nothing. If you’re sighing, it means something’s up. Don’t hide it from me.”

Nan Jiaojiao lifted her eyelids again, “Actually, if you had come a bit later, it would’ve been resolved.”

Chu Yao replied naturally, “Ah, since I’m here, it makes you look like you’re using influence to bully people.”

That’s not wrong. In the entertainment industry, Chu Yao definitely could be considered influential.

Nan Jiaojiao felt rather complicated, “That’s probably what it means.”

Chu Yao waved her hand casually, “So what? If anyone dares to gossip, I’ve protected you like this. Before long, the crew will likely hear about it. Anyone who dares to trouble you is opposing me. In all these years, I’ve never seen someone insist on courting death. I’m protecting you openly, what can they do?”

Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t say a word for a moment.

In the end, she managed to squeeze out, “Thank you, Sister.”

Chu Yao instantly beamed, “Good girl!”

She gently moved Nan Jiaojiao’s hand more into her own palm, “Don’t blame me for being high-profile. In this circle, people always bow down to power and look down on the weak. There’s no need to have relations with them, but by slightly hinting you’re protected before things turn sour, it can save a lot of trouble. I know you have no intention of entering this circle; as long as you work on the fringes for a day, I’ll protect you. Otherwise, what’s more disgusting than being subtly targeted is those sneaky, hidden tricks behind the scenes.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, “I understand now.”

Chu Yao loved seeing Nan Jiaojiao’s obedient demeanor, not regretting her care for her at all.

At this moment, a figure wavered past, and Chu Yao, sharp-eyed, called out, “Little Zhang Zhao.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked in that direction and clearly saw Zhang Zhao’s stiffened back, summoning the courage to turn around, smilingly jogging over.

“Sister Yao, it’s you! What are you doing here? You came without telling Little Zhang Zhao.”

Chu Yao chuckled, “What are you up to?”

“I went to get some braised goose. Didn’t eat enough at noon, was craving, so I took the chance to buy some for a treat,” he opened the box, “Sister Yao, want to try a piece?”

He didn’t dare really offer it forward, and Chu Yao instinctively leaned back a bit, “No, thanks.”

“I wouldn’t dare take a thank you from Sister Yao. You brought me up, how can I not think of you when I have something good to eat?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyelids trembled.

Silently observing the workplace survival rules, only at times like this did she secretly feel glad that she had already stepped into the vile capitalist stronghold.

Chu Yao found it quite amusing, “What bringing up, not bringing up? Back then, I was just a little newcomer. Besides, now you’re Shu Jin’s person, watch what you say.”
