‘ That’s more like it,’ Yun Liu thought and became happier. She liked that sort of arrangement.
The program required their guests to wear their personal clothes, so Yun Liu planned to bring her assistant to pick out her outfits. Ever since Ding Pei was arrested, her assistant—Xiao Yun—had been fearfully silent, especially after being coached by Tan Ning. She was even more cautious than before and didn’t dare to say a word.
Yun Liu was flipping through her clothes, and when she saw Xiao Yun’s timid state, she stated disdainfully, “You’re such a wuss! Can’t you do anything without Miss Ding? What are you afraid of? As long as I have use of you, as long as you’re one of mine, no one will dare to do anything to you. The most important thing in life is to be sharp-eyed and clear-minded and be able to tell who your boss is. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Xiao Yun’s eyes brightened, and she nodded repeatedly. “I understand, Miss
Yun Liu. From now on, you’re my only boss! ”
Yun Liu was quite satisfied with her answer. She pointed at the clothes on the shelf and instructed the shop assistant behind them, “Get me one of these in my size. I want to try it on.”
The shop assistant hurriedly replied in affirmative and went to get her clothes.
Just then, the TV in the shop was airing the interview about ‘4:30 P.M.’ with Mika, the movie’s male and female leads, and the screenwriters. Yun Liu crossed her arms and watched the interview with a cold expression.
“Yes, for us to get a feel for Xiao He’s living environment, the director specifically brought us out to experience such a lifestyle. Before that, Director Mi said that we don’t know life’s miseries. Acting really isn’t that simple; if we can’t empathize with our characters, then we can’t convincingly act as the characters should,” Shi Xiu answered the host’s question with a smile.
The male lead also smiled and uttered, “Yeah! We used method acting during our time on the film so that we’ll be able to inject real emotions into our performances. The side effect is that it’s a little difficult to break out of our characters
Everyone laughed, and Mika added, “They’re both newbies, especially Shi Xiu. It was her first time acting, and in such a heavy role, too. After the shoot, they both squatted in a corner, not talking to anyone and just cried. Haha.”
“Director Mika doesn’t give praise easily,” a shop assistant whispered. “I’ve never seen him praise an actor like that in all these years.”
Another shop assistant commented, “I watched the movie. The actors did a great job! No wonder the director praised them. I didn’t realize they were inexperienced newbies at all.”
The shop assistant returned and handed Yun Liu the dress she wanted. Yun Liu accepted it with a snort and remarked, “Look at her identity and think about it. With her status, even the director has to suck up to her! Family background is also important in this line of work. It’s a huge honor to have the young lady lower herself to act in the movie, so of course, he had to flatter her!”
Only then did the shop assistant recognize Yun Liu, and she exclaimed in surprise, “Oh my, you must be Miss Yun Liu! I saw you in that movie, ‘Cozyin Love! You’re Nuan Nuan! Hey, everybody! Look, it’s Nuan Nuan!”
Hearing that, the other two shop assistants also came over. The store manager walked over and glared at the shop assistants. “Don’t you recognize who this is? You hicks! This is our VIP client, the Yun family’s young lady!”
She turned to Yun Liu and smiled. “Miss Yun, please don’t take offense. We had a major staff adjustment. These are all new employees who haven’t finished their training yet. They don’t know the rules.”
Yun Liu magnanimously waved her hand and said, “It’s fine. Everyone starts new at some point.”
The store manager smiled obsequiously and stated, “You have good taste, Miss
Yun. The dress you picked out is our new season’s collection.”
Yun Liu went into the fitting room to change her clothes and came out to assess her outfit in the mirror. Xiao Yun immediately praised, “You look beautiful!”
Yun Liu was also very pleased with the dress. One of the shop assistants ran over with her phone, smiled meekly at her, and asked, “Miss Yun, can I take a photo with you?”
Straightaway, Xiao Yun stopped her and uttered, “No! Miss Yun doesn’t take photos casually.” The shop assistant looked disappointed and turned to leave.
When Yun Liu changed out of the dress and came out of the fitting room, she heard the two assistants commenting in hushed tones, “I didn’t expect Yun Liu to be so arrogant compared to Shi Xiu. Shi Xiu is so approachable, like the girl next door!”
“That’s right. She’s even made those comments about Shi Xiu being a spoiled princess. Look who’s talking? Shés the one acting like a spoiled princess! You sure are something, being able to recognize her as Nuan Nuan. I didn’t even watch that movie. I heard the ratings are very low!”
Yun Liu clenched her clothes so tightly her knuckles turned white. She didn’t expect to encounter such a dreadful thing even when she was out buying clothes!
Xiao Yun rushed over and shouted at the two shop assistants, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
The shop assistants’ faces turned pale, and they lowered their heads. They made to leave, but Xiao Yun yelled, “Where’s the manager? Where did your manager go?” Xiao Yun roared.
The store manager had just entered the storeroom to look for some products when she heard the commotion and quickly rushed over..
