Su Shengsheng spent the whole morning revising the manuscript at Li's, and was still thinking about the details of the manuscript until the meeting.
I didn't notice at all that there were two less actors in the creative team than on the list.
After the meeting, she recorded everyone's adjustment suggestions. When Wei Xi, the girl from the costume team, handed her the actor's size chart, her eyes were full of thirst for gossip.
"Sister Shengsheng, you and Mr. Li..."
As soon as she said a few words, Zhu Rui walked in from outside.
She was still dressed sexy, with black stockings wrapping her slender legs. When she saw Su Shengsheng, she greeted her politely, but her smile didn't reach her eyes.
Su Shengsheng can think of the 'live broadcast' that morning every time she sees her, and feels a little uncomfortable.
When Wei Xi saw someone coming, he could only frown and hold back what he wanted to ask. He wanted to wait until Zhu Rui left before asking. He blinked his big eyes and waited for Zhu Rui to finish her story.
But she realized that Zhu Rui was here to find her, and she muttered in a low voice, "Sister Zhu Rui, don't hold me back, I still have something to ask Sister Shengsheng."
Zhu Rui glanced at Su Shengsheng and lowered her voice, "Don't ask, you offended someone and you don't even know why you died. Didn't you notice that two people didn't come to measure the actors' size chart?"
Her voice was not loud, but it still hit Su Shengsheng's ears well.
It was obvious that he wanted to hear it on purpose.
Su Shengsheng opened the document with the actors' sizes and originally wanted to check who it was against the list of actors.
Realizing that there was no need to compare, I just took a quick glance and found that my cousin Su Lian was not on the list.
Dong dong dong——
Su Shengsheng was looking at the list when Zhu Rui came back.
I looked up and heard her say,
"Ms. Su, this is a newly adjusted cast list, and the position of the second female lead is temporarily vacant."
The emotion in her eyes was unclear as she spoke.
There's pride and sympathy, it's quite complicated.
Su Shengsheng tilted her head and took the cast list. Zhu Rui looked at her again, sighed slightly, and left.
The afternoon sun is no longer as hot as it was in the morning, and its faint afterglow cast long shadows on the tables and chairs in the conference room.
When I opened the cast list, my eyes were a bit blurry.
After a while, she realized that Su Lian's name had changed from the second female lead to the first female lead.
"Have you heard? Mr. Li personally came forward and gave the first girl in the S+ project to Su Lian, the eldest daughter of the Su family."
When Zhu Rui left, the door of the small conference room was not closed tightly. When several people passed the door, their words happened to fall into Su Shengsheng's ears.
"She has never participated in any big production before, so she just plays the female lead? Is that okay?"
"You don't understand men," a male staff member teased, "It doesn't matter whether you can act or not, Mr. Li doesn't care about the money, as long as he can do it in bed, it doesn't matter."
"Don't believe any press release you see on the Internet," a female staff member with a soft voice interrupted, "Our President Li has always been obsessed with the late Madam. Even if we are looking for one, it will definitely be the one who looks like Madam. His name is... What's going on?"
"Su Shengsheng," another female employee said, "I can see it. She looks very much like Mrs. Su Yao. And wasn't it said in the company that Miss Su and Mr. Li had a good relationship before? Mr. Li's heroic rescue of the beauty this morning, and also It’s circulating in the company.”
The man interjected, "Think about it. Although the marketing account's press release is not trustworthy, we have all seen those things, but Mr. Li can't see them? Mr. Li saw it, so why didn't it intercept or cancel it? What is this? This is Mr. Li. Attitude."
The two female staff members fell silent, "It seems to make sense."
"Anyway, I'm standing by Su Shengsheng. You haven't seen her. She is a stunning beauty. Mr. Li is so handsome. Only a woman like this is worthy of her." A female employee said after a while.
"Hey, you said Mr. Li just likes people named Su. It's too late for me to change my surname now."
“It might be more immediate to look in the mirror.”
They were quarreling for a while, and the man suddenly said, "Maybe Mr. Li didn't think about who to choose and was vacillating. I heard that they are cousins."
"Cousin? Mr. Li actually likes this."
"Mrs. Su Yao is dead. No one can compare to her. Mr. Li will never be single. It's normal to find a woman."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to who will be the final winner..."
The people slowly walked away, and their voices began to be a little unclear. Su Shengsheng believed that her heart fell in love with Li Jingchen only because of that face. Who he liked in his heart had nothing to do with her.
But this person turned out to be Su Lian, and I always felt like something was wrong.
"hiss……"
She reached out to grab the water glass, but was burned in a daze.
"Why are you so careless?"
The man strode in from the outside and grabbed her hand. Su Shengsheng looked up and saw Li Jingchen's delicate eyebrows, as if they were decorated with light. It's no wonder that everyone covets such a good-looking person.
But it's one thing to be coveted by others, and it's another thing to be unable to control yourself.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt uncomfortable and pulled her hand away from Li Jingchen, "It's okay."
"They are all red and they say it's okay. Fortunately, there are no burns. Otherwise, they are trying to blackmail me into paying for a few days of work-related injury and lost time." Li Jingchen looked at her with a faint smile, not minding the way she looked at him.
Su Shengsheng knew that the relationship between them could barely be considered lovers. Even if there was no emotional involvement, Li Jingchen would be more tolerant of her.
She didn't like to guess, so she asked directly, "Li Jingchen, what is your relationship with Su Lian?"
The smile on Li Jingchen's face stiffened, and the softness in his eyebrows became lighter.
"It doesn't matter."
Su Shengsheng raised her head and looked at Li Jingchen, her eyebrows moved almost imperceptibly.
The breeze blew in some catkins, and the back of her hands felt a little itchy. Su Shengsheng felt that this scene seemed to have returned to four years ago.
"Li Jingchen, what is your relationship with Song Qingyue?"
"It doesn't matter?"
"It doesn't matter? Those reporters took pictures of you having sex together. You said it doesn't matter?"
"Do you believe what the paparazzi says?"
"Okay, then I don't believe it. You took her to a party that only couples can attend. Where did you put me?"
"You were sick that day."
"Then you can't go by yourself? Li Jingchen, you just don't have a clear relationship with her."
"If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it."
…
Su Shengsheng suddenly felt some pain in her eyes and looked away from Li Jingchen, "I still have some unfinished work in hand. If Mr. Li has nothing to do, just leave."
Li Jingchen noticed something was wrong with her mood and opened his mouth. In the end, he didn't say anything and walked out.
Before leaving the small conference room, I heard the noise outside.
Assistant Qin trotted over, "Mr. Li, Mrs. Zhou Man is here."
"Um."
Li Jingchen responded solemnly and was about to continue walking out when Assistant Qin immediately added,
"Mrs. Zhou Man came with Miss Su Lian."
