Chapter 770 See, think and hired!
“Yating!”
Chyou hopped to their side and grinned akin to a twinkling star. “A pleasant surprise! What are you doing here? What are you talking about with Yin? You didn’t include me in the gossip!”
Yating arched his brow. “Apologies Queen but this subject thought that you would be busy with your film shooting. How dare I disturb you?”
She stumbled back, gasping dramatically. “You are the angel of this set, Yating. Have you met the staff here? You are the hero for them!”
Cheng Yin’s brow twitched hard.
It wasn’t that of a big deal. Even I would have saved Chyou in his place. People are just overreacting.
Yating said, “Yeah I met the staff. They were indeed very welcoming.”
Cheng Yin wanted Chyou out of here as quickly as possible so he said, “The director is on his way, Chyou. We should get ready with our script before he comes.”
“Yin and I will be perfect even without any practice~ After all, we are naturals, hehe,” she winked.
He pinched her cheek and chuckled. “Cheeky as always.”
The staff working around gushed with their flirting and chemistry.
Yating was about to say when Chyou’s gaze fell on a small paper bag in his hand. “What is that? What is that?”
“What I came here to meet you for. A small gift from me for all your help,” he scratched his chin, “the first one fell into the fire unfortunately.”
Chyou shone so brilliantly that it was as if she became the source of sun in the entire set. They shut their eyes, blinded by her radiance.
“A gift!!!” .𝒎
Chyou took – almost snatched the gift bag from him and eagerly opened it. Despite her impatience, she carefully unwrapped the gift wrap as it revealed a delicate box underneath it. She gently clicked it open and an exquisite, shimmering pendant came to her view. The pendant was a dazzling diamond studded alphabet Q.
Yating smiled. “Well, C for Chyou was the obvious choice but then again, you have earned the title of the Queen. Q suits you more than anything.”
Cheng Yin stared at the expensive diamond pendant and narrowed his eyes at Yating. The price tag alone erupted great discomfort in his heart. It was just some help Chyou gave him. Was it necessary to go so overboard with the gift as if he was her boyfriend or something?
He liked that it was a thoughtful gift but it didn’t sit well with him that the thoughtfulness came from Yating.
He is just supposed to be an acquaintance, he bitterly thought. Then why go this far?
Chyou placed the pendant on her palm and was left spellbound by its design and beauty. “It’s so…wait, even pretty doesn’t match as an adjective! Thanks a lot, Yating…” she had no other words left to describe the happiness she felt.
Yating laughed. “Glad you like it. Just that…” his brow twitched, thinking of a certain someone, “I just hope that you don’t strangle somebody’s neck with it.”
“…”
“Why would I strangle anybody with this beautiful gift? Do people kill with gifts nowadays? Is that the ‘new thing’ of the generation?” She asked, puzzled.
He struggled to smile. “I know somebody who didn’t show much qualms in saying that aloud.”
Just then the director arrived much to Cheng Yin’s relief. By that point, he almost had the urge to throw away the pendant.
Director Murong stepped in with his stern and cold countenance. He threw a glance at the staff with a squinted gaze. “Fan, you! The camera is not properly set. It’s still one degree lower! Why do you all slack so much!”
Fan immediately apologized. “S-Sorry Director Murong!”
He grunted with displeasure. “People don’t have the spark nowadays!”
He looked at Chyou, Yating and Yin and blinked. “Why are you three crowding here like a bunch of high schoolers? It’s my set, not a picnic spot!”
Chyou stuck out her tongue. “Don’t be so stiff, Director Murong. Also, though I am twenty-seven by body, my heart is forever seventeen~”
Yating choked.
“As always, the happy-go-lucky Queen doesn’t take anything seriously. Who will pay for the damages if the shooting is delayed and so everything gets delayed in turn? We would be losing millions! Time is very valuable, you know.”
Yin rolled his eyes.
There he goes all hyper about everything. .𝒎
Chyou chirped. “Time is very valuable, that’s why you should enjoy it to the fullest and not just think of work, work and work~”
He glared at her but quietly grunted in the end. He then looked at Yating and thoughtfully said, “I remember you. You were on the set before. Wait, you were the one who saved Chyou from the fire, right?”
“Yes, yes, he is the same man!” Chyou beamed as she patted his back hard. “He also gave me a gift! Look at this director. Isn’t it so pretty?”
Director Murong took a closer look at the pendant. At first, he didn’t understand the significance of the letter Q because her name was Chyou, but it clicked him two seconds later.
Q for Queen. Queen of the Entertainment Industry.
Chyou kept babbling about how beautiful it was but a completely different thought process was churning in the director’s mind.
“Huuhhh. I want to use that in the film.”
“What?”
Then the sparkle on the director’s face heightened further. “It makes more sense for your character to have this pendant. You are taking the role of a fallen Queen betrayed by her subjects. But stripping away the title doesn’t mean that you are defeated. You struggle, you struggle more and then you eventually rise and earn the title rightfully back. In your struggling days, Yin, your husband, who has perished in the war would have brought this gift for you with all the money he had expressing that no matter what the world says, you would always be the Queen of his heart. And this pendant continued to keep giving you strength in your fight to get your kingdom back.”
He beamed more. “I just thought of a perfect scene! Not just an emotional significance, but it can have a physical significance too! To save her life from the enemy’s clutches, Chyou will use the pendant chain as the last resort to strangle him and flee! Just imagine the impact it will have on the audience! They won’t really expect that coming, would they?”
Yating – “…”
Is this director related to Zhan Yahui by any chance? Just when I told Chyou to not use it to strangle anybody…
“The pendant becomes the royal heirloom as you pass it on to your daughter when the story ends. Like a protection charm for her kingdom and family.”
Director Murong pulled Yating to his side and smacked his shoulder in pure bliss. “That is a brilliant gift, young man! Why didn’t I think of this sooner!? You are amazing! And now that I remember you more clearly, you are Gu Yating, right? Dream High’s Chief Editor? So you know about stories and plot. You are a professional. Good, good! Just the icing on the cake that I needed. How about you help me out with writing the scenes? It’s your gift idea. You must be given the due participation and credit!”
