“I… I didn’t mean that. I was afraid you’d be cold…” The milk tea that she had just delivered was scalding hot. It splashed on Yang Xue’s leg, causing her to feel a bone-piercing pain in her toes. However, Yang Xue didn’t dare to shout in pain. Tears rolled in her eyes. “I’m sorry. I, I won’t make the same mistake again next time.”
“Next time? There won’t be any chance for you anymore!” Shen Sisi looked at her coldly, “useless trash. You can’t even do such a simple thing well. Get lost quickly. Don’t ever appear in front of me again!” The commotion they caused wasn’t small. The rest of the crew looked over. Sensing everyone’s gaze, Lei Bing felt her head ache. No matter how displeased she was with Shen Sisi, she would not do something which wouldn’t benefit herself. She tried to smooth things over. “Yang Xue, look at you. Why are you still so clumsy? Luckily, you didn’t spill it on Sisi. Otherwise, what if she got hurt, and it would delay the filming progress?” Lei Bing shook her head helplessly. Then, she bent down to check on Yang Xue’s condition. “Look at how clumsy you are. Did you get burned? Is it serious?”
“Miss Lei Bing, I didn’t…” Yang Xue tried to say something, but her eyes met Lei Bing’s. Lei Bing was trying to shut her up. Yang Xue felt wronged. She lowered her head and apologized, “I’m fine. I’m sorry, Sisi. I’ll pay more attention in the future.”
Seeing that Yang Xue admitted it, everyone in the crew rolled their eyes and quickly stopped paying attention to them. Yang Xue looked at the dark milk tea stains on her newly bought sports shoes and wanted to cry even more.
“Cry! Cry! Cry! All you know how to do is cry!” Shen Sisi was already in a bad mood. When she saw Yang Xue’s expression, she became even angrier, “You feel wronged? Get lost now! A useless person like you can do nothing.”
“Sisi, don’t be angry. I’ll take Yang Xue away right now,” Lei Bing smiled as she comforted, “alright, the temporary assistant will be here tomorrow. It’s not worth it being angry over such a small matter.”
“It’s annoying to see Yang Xue’s stupid face!” Shen Sisi did not feel that she was at fault. She sat back on the chair and said coldly, “Leave! Leave me alone.”
Lei Bing did not say anything more. She pulled Yang Xue’s arm and said goodbye to Wu Yu before leaving the shooting venue. After walking out of the main door, Yang Xue let out a sigh of relief. Again, the look of grievance filled her heart, “Miss Lei Bing, thank you. You’re such a good person. I’m so grateful for what you have done!” She was extremely grateful to Lei Bing and thanked her profusely. As she thanked Lei Bing, she could not help but sob. “I, I tried hard, but no matter what I did, Sisi was not satisfied. Miss Lei Bing, I will work hard to repay you. Thank you.”
Yang Xue had just graduated from university and had become Shen Sisi’s assistant. She had never thought that work would be such a suffocating thing. Now that she had finally left the crew, she felt a sense of relief. Her eyes turned red, and she cried even louder.
Yang Xue was naive. She did not know the world was cruel. She also did not realize sometimes some people would be kind to you on the surface but harm you silently.
“Alright, stop crying,” Seeing Yang Xue was crying non-stop, Lei Bing frowned impatiently, “Sisi is hot-tempered. She doesn’t have any bad intentions. Don’t take it to heart. You have worked hard during this time. The company will give you a leave notice. You can take a paid leave for some time and relax properly.”
Yang Xue did not expect such additional compensation. She quickly nodded. “Thank you, Miss Lei Bing!” She was even more grateful to Lei Bing.
Lei Bing accepted Yang Xue’s thanks calmly and asked Yang Xue to leave in a cab first. After Yang Xue Left, Lei Bing took a small USB from her bag. She smiled. Yang Xue could not blame her for this. Yang Xue was a fool she could use as a scapegoat for everything she did. It was inevitable that such a person would become her stepping stone.
The next day, the new assistant reported to the crew. The new assistant’s name was Sun Na, and she was a chubby girl with dark skin and a taciturn appearance. Shen Sisi frowned in disdain. Coincidentally, she was going to shoot a scene in the rain. Shen Sisi held the script and ordered Sun Na, “It will be too cold to shoot this scene. I don’t want to film it. Go and tell Director Wu Yu to use a stunt. Do you know how to deal with it?”
“Don’t worry, Sisi. I can deal with this,” Sun Na nodded and patted her chest firmly, “leave it to me!”
