Chapter 91 - A Tough First Day
Ling Tianya was busy writing a script in the lounge when her phone rang. She noticed the time of the call and picked it up. It was Ling Yuqing who called. She didn’t have the crew pass, so the security guard at the gate didn’t let her in.
“Zhang Ke, go pick up Ling Yuqing from the gate.” Ling Tianya put down her phone and turned her attention back to the computer screen.
Zhang Ke was working on her own script when Ling Tianya called her. She stood up, unenthused, and went to pick up Ling Yuqing.
At the gate, the security guard was still head to head with Ling Yuqing. No matter what kind of harsh remarks she made, he would not let her in without a pass.
Ling Yuqing had made a scene of herself. Everybody who came in and out of the gate stared at her. If she was pleased about the attention she was getting earlier, by then all the joy had disappeared!
Ling Yuqing was furious. She was certain that Ling Tianya set her up on purpose by not arranging a crew pass for her. She wanted to make a fool out of her!
She was even more annoyed by the stubborn security guard. The precious daughter of the Ling Family was outpowered by a guard!
From a distance, Zhang Ke could already see that Ling Yuqing was mad. So, she picked up her pace and walked in front of the guard with a polite smile, “I’m sorry, she is the new assistant to Miss Ling, the screenwriter. Miss Ling was been too busy to arrange a crew pass for her. Could you let her in for today and I promise we’ll get her the pass as soon as possible?”
The dark and skinny guard looked at Zhang Ke, who he recognized as the assistant of Ling Tianya. She also had her crew pass around her neck. He remembered how nice Miss Ling always treated him and then looked at Ling Yuqing with a frown, “An assistant with an attitude. If she didn’t tell me, I would think you thought you were the director!”
“You –” Ling Yuqing was about to explode. “Was I just scorned by a security guard?”
“Miss Zhang, are you leaving your job?” the guard asked. “I thought you were Miss Ling’s assistant, why does she need another one?”
Zhang Ke smiled awkwardly, “Miss Ling is waiting, and we have to go. I’ll catch up with you next time.”
The guard didn’t want to make Ling Tianya wait and waved them in, “Go ahead. You have important things to do!”
“Let’s go…” Zhang Ke gestured to Ling Yuqing and started walking back.
Ling Yuqing gave an evil eye to the guard before following Zhang Ke into the studio. Her high heels clicked loudly as she walked, “Where is Sister Tianya?”
“Miss Ling is busy.” Said Zhang Ke without turning her head.
“Busy! Busy doing what?!” Ling Yuqing muttered under her breath. In her mind, Ling Tianya had intentionally made her first day difficult. How detestable! “You just wait, Ling Tianya. You’ll pay for this later!”
As she continued to walk, Ling Yuqing gradually changed her facial expression and put on her signature pitiful face.
She finally arrived at the shooting location. Everyone in the crew was there, including Guan Meiyi who was waiting on the side for her scene.
Guan Meiyi was surprised to Ling Yuqing with her pitiful face, “Yuqing? Why are you here? What’s wrong? Are you crying?”
