Chapter 342: 342 plays

What nerve to cry!

Upon hearing Binbin’s crying, the director almost smashed his phone, but fearing that he might provoke Binbin and cause greater trouble, he suppressed his anger and said, “I got it, where are you and Perry right now? We’ll come pick you up.”

“We don’t know either, we don’t speak Russian, I’ll send you our location.” Binbin thought her scheme had succeeded, so she quickly stopped crying.

After all, she and Perry just wanted to teach An Lan a lesson and take her down a peg.

But neither Binbin nor Perry could have imagined that their every move was being captured by the alert Dr. Sun.

Dr. Sun had guessed that these two were up to something, so he deliberately took the crew as witnesses to ensure that there would be evidence, otherwise there would be no clear way to explain the situation today.

Then, the director returned Shi Lan’s call, “Find somewhere to rest for now, we’ll be there as soon as we pick up the others.”

“Okay.”

After leaving the subway, they found a cafe, and just as Shi Lan was about to lead everyone inside, a crew member stopped her, saying, “You don’t have the budget on you.”

“We can’t just let everyone stand on the streets of Moscow waiting, can we? I’ll have my assistant pay for today’s bill, and once we resume filming, I’ll continue to follow the rules, including you guys, come on in.”

Having said that, Shi Lan pushed open the cafe’s door and led everyone inside.

“Sister Xiaojin, please send our location to the director. Xu Yang, Xu Sen, come take orders with me.”

Nobody expected such a problem to arise during filming.

Though they had encountered various difficult artists before, leading to many conflicts, they had never seen such brazen behavior.

As everyone settled in the cafe to wait, Xu Yang took a deep breath and said to the boss sitting opposite him, “I’m sorry, Sister An Lan, for targeting you like that yesterday, we really didn’t realize Binbin was so complicated.”

“Hmph,” the boss snorted haughtily.

But at that moment, Xu Yang could feel that she bore no malice, nor was she aloof; rather, it was disdain, a sincere disdain for him.

She might appear difficult to get along with, and being called standoffish might not be too far off, but she was capable, and if he spoke ten languages, he might have shot straight up to the skies.

“I’m also curious, let’s chat off-topic since we’re not filming right now. Why does that Yan Family’s Miss Ziqing hate you so much?” Jin Qiu leaned closer to Shi Lan and asked gossipy.

“Our paths do not align,” Shi Lan used seven words to explain the complexity between her and Yan Ziqing.

“But for them to abandon you and push Binbin forward, even letting Binbin ride over your head, that judgment…” Jin Qiu clicked her tongue twice, “That Miss Yan, is quite capricious. Logically, with such an outstanding brother, she shouldn’t be so simple-minded, but…”

“Ah… so it’s that complicated? If An Lan has offended Miss Yan, isn’t she at a huge disadvantage? After all, that’s the Yan Family’s Miss,” Xu Yang said with some sympathy.

“Childish thinking, always looking at the surface. If Yan Shixiu truly cherished his sister, he would have long dealt with Huahai for her, no need for her to go through all this trouble to take over for that superstar,” Jin Qiu hinted to Xu Yang, “So, I suspect Miss Yan is just playing around on her own.”

Hearing others mention her man, Shi Lan subconsciously reached to touch the tattoo on her wrist.

She didn’t like others discussing the two of them together.

“That’s why I have to remind the production team to keep their heads clear, not to be bewitched simply because she’s Miss Yan. Considering Yan Ziqing’s judgment of people, trouble is inevitable sooner or later. If she causes a problem, that’s the least of it, but if she offends both Shuangshi and Huahai, then isn’t that asking for trouble?”

Originally, the production team’s mission on this trip was to suppress An Lan and promote Binbin.

But now that Binbin has exposed so many problems, this deal might not be worth it anymore.

Shi Lan just listened, thinking to herself that Sister Xiaojin really was someone accustomed to the ways of the world; she understood the ins and outs with a slight hint.

“There will be a good show to watch in a moment,” Shi Lan said.

Obviously, what did it mean for Binbin to call the director?

Tattling!

If she just wanted to contact a companion, she could have called any one of the four of them.

…

The director’s chauffeur was Russian, so he easily found the location where Binbin and Perry were staying.

Upon seeing the director, the two immediately rushed over, “Director, you’ve finally come.”

The director, containing his anger, first pulled the two of them into the car.

At this point, Binbin’s acting bug kicked in, and she grabbed the director’s arm, crying, “Director, Sister An Lan really went too far, even if she dislikes me, she shouldn’t have left me and Perry behind in the car. We were both so scared in this unfamiliar place.”

“Really? She left you and Perry in the car?” the director asked while wiping sweat from his brow, questioning Binbin.

At that moment, Xiao Yue looked at Binbin with a headache, intending to remind her to stop acting; the fact that she and Perry had left the team on their own had been discovered by the staff, but the director had told him earlier that when he saw the two of them, he shouldn’t say a word, because the director wanted to see just how much of a drama Binbin was capable of putting on.

“I’m really so upset, I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong; even though I may be immature, I’m just a girl under twenty. It’s just heartbreaking that Sister An Lan left me and Perry behind like that.”

Then, the director turned to her and asked, “Did An Lan give you a map?”

Binbin paused, then nodded her head, “She did.”

“Did she tell you at which station to get off?”

Binbin, feeling guilty, let go of the director’s hands she was holding and nodded again, “She did, but we don’t understand Russian.”

“Did she mark it out in Chinese for you?”

“Director…”

“You damn took Perry and moved to the back carriage on purpose, avoiding the team and then blaming someone else when seeking trouble?” the director couldn’t contain his anger any longer, and shouted loudly, “You still remember you’re not twenty yet? I think you’re more cunning than women in their forties.”

“You forced your way into the production as if you were some superstar, don’t you know that? You love acting so much, go to a drama set, why did you come to a variety show? I’ve really been made to curse by an artist for the first time in my life, all thanks to you. Are you sick in the head? If you want to scheme against An Lan, do it at home, don’t waste my time or energy here, okay? You don’t need to record the show; I’ll return it straightaway. Go the hell back to Yancheng, and I never want to see you again.”

Hearing the director’s shout, Binbin was stunned.

Scared, the tears started flowing down.

“Dire… Director, I didn’t.”

“Brother Yue, I didn’t, I really didn’t.”

“You’re still arguing? The staff saw you and Perry walking to the back carriage. And you’re still trying to argue with me?” the director was so angry he laughed, “Why don’t you say you were abducted by aliens, huh?”
