I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 252 - : Just the Nanny’s Daughter

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Just the Nanny’s Daughter

Yan Ke’s assistant hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Ms. Yan Ke, this is Mr. Gu’s request. The advertisement needs to be shot on location. Please endure it a bit; it will be all over once we finish.”

Yan Ke was already soaked by the stifling rain.

As the shoot progressed, Yan Ke couldn’t satisfy the director, which suddenly made her angry. She rebuked Director Lu, who was from the marketing department, “What kind of lousy advertisement requires such torment over and over again? Can this even be considered workplace bullying? I have a deep relationship with Mr. Gu; is this how you treat your endorsers?”

Director Lu said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Yan Ke. You know that ‘Forest Pursuit’ is a popular game. Our demands for a spokesperson’s advertisement are a bit higher.”

Yan Ke furrowed her brows and said, “I’m not shooting today. I’d rather pay the penalty than suffer like this!”

Director Lu quickly tried to retain her saying, “Ms. Yan Ke, it won’t be long before we release the advertisement. If you say you won’t shoot now, that won’t do. We can’t find a suitable replacement to shoot the advertisement on such short notice.”

Yan Ke said, “I don’t care. I’ve shot plenty of advertisements, and none have bullied me like ‘Forest Pursuit.'”

Gu Hanchen got out of his car, and Zhong Xiaoyi, who was pushing his wheelchair, moved towards Yan Ke, “What’s going on?”

Yan Ke looked at Gu Hanchen and said, “Brother Hanchen, they are bullying me too much, asking me to shoot over and over again in this suffocating rainy weather. No matter how I shoot, the director is never satisfied. Is the director doing this on purpose?”

Gu Hanchen looked at the director in front of him, who had been recommended by Zhang Ying, a colleague who previously shot a promotional video for Mi Chen.

Gu Hanchen liked the promotional videos shot by Zhang Ying and naturally recognized her recommendation, “These are simple moves, and you keep dragging them out, and then you say the director is troubling you.”

Yan Ke furrowed her brows and said, “How are these simple moves? They are quite difficult. I have already tried my best. I can’t do better than this. If the director insists on pushing me to a limit I cannot reach, I will choose not to shoot.”

Gu Hanchen said, “If you don’t want to shoot, then don’t. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of stars who want to be the spokesperson for ‘Forest Pursuit.’ Do you believe that if you leave, I can replace you within minutes?”

Yan Ke also got angry and said, “If ‘Forest Pursuit’ sets such high demands, I can’t meet it. It’s better to cancel the endorsement.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Fine.”

Yan Ke angrily said to her assistant, “Let’s go!”

Zhong Xiaoyi quickly tried to persuade Gu Hanchen, “Mr. Gu, we’ve just announced Yan Ke as our spokesperson. Cancelling the contract now will definitely cause a media uproar and affect the stock price… Especially this advertisement, it must be shot within the next two days.”

Gu Hanchen scoffed coldly, “These simple moves, if it weren’t for my leg, I could do it myself!”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “You better not. I’ve seen the moves the martial arts director choreographed; people without a dance background just can’t do them. You should go find Miss Yan Ke.”

The shooting director turned his attention to Zhong Xiaoyi and, eyeing her figure and appearance, said, “I think you can be in the advertisement. You fit the character in ‘Forest Pursuit’ perfectly.”

Zhong Xiaoyi pointed at herself and said, “Me? Director, you must be joking.”

The director adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “I’m not joking with you. Go and change your clothes, makeup artist, remove her makeup and apply camouflage paint…”

Zhong Xiaoyi looked at Gu Hanchen, and Gu Hanchen said, “Didn’t you say the advertisement must be shot in the next two days?”

Zhong Xiaoyi worriedly said, “But I’m afraid I won’t shoot well…”

The director assessed Zhong Xiaoyi and said, “I trust my judgment; why don’t you go practice with the martial arts director for an hour? Will that be enough?”

Zhong Xiaoyi, unable to refuse anymore, said, “Then I’ll try.”

Zhong Xiaoyi moved aside to change into the special forces’ camouflage uniform and began learning from the martial arts director.

“Have you ever danced before?”

Zhong Xiaoyi nodded and said, “Yeah.”

“Looks like you still have traces of Taekwondo?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’ve practiced combat sports.”

Gu Hanchen looked at Zhong Xiaoyi and said, “I can’t believe you’ve practiced combat sports as well, with your frail little body?”

Zhong Xiaoyi lowered her head and said, “I’m not that petite, I’m at least 5’5″ tall.”

Zhong Xiaoyi followed the Martial Arts instructor practicing combat moves with a military saber, completing them smoothly. This was similar to specialized fan actions in dance which she had also practiced.

Under the canopy he was sitting at, Gu Hanchen watched Zhong Xiaoyi, dressed in camouflage, sparring with the Martial Arts instructor, never taking his eyes off her.

Gu Hanchen took out his phone, recorded a video of Zhong Xiaoyi fighting with the Martial Arts instructor, and sent it to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu soon sent a voice message back, “Is Xiao Yi starting a career in movies as a star? Xiao Yi would definitely become a hit if she became a movie star. Do you know the producer of this film? I’ll invest.”

Listening to Mrs. Gu’s voice message, Gu Hanchen typed, “Not at all graceful, not ladylike, not gentle, not well-behaved.”

Mrs. Gu immediately replied, “She’s not becoming your girlfriend, why do you care if she’s not graceful, not ladylike, not gentle, not well-behaved?”

Gu Hanchen typed, “Mom, how could Zhong Xiaoyi possibly be my girlfriend? What nonsense are you talking about? She’s my sister.”

Mrs. Gu said, “Your father and I definitely haven’t given you another sister, but indeed I was talking nonsense. You don’t deserve Xiao Yi.”

Gu Hanchen also sent a voice reply, “Zhong Xiaoyi is just my nanny’s daughter, if anyone’s not worthy, it’s her not being worthy of me. Is this how you should talk as a mother?”

After practicing with the Martial Arts instructor for a while, Zhong Xiaoyi got thirsty. She walked over to Gu Hanchen to grab a bottle of mineral water when she accidentally overheard his words.

The movement of Zhong Xiaoyi grabbing the water bottle paused, and deep down, a wave of discomfort surged; she bit her lower lip, forcing herself not to cry sensitively.

Zhong Xiaoyi didn’t even drink the water and continued to practice with the Martial Arts instructor.

Seeing that it was already three in the afternoon, the director, worried that it might get too dark for good lighting, hurriedly began filming.

Gu Hanchen walked over to the director, looking at the equipment in front of him, “It’s pouring rain, isn’t it going to drench the people?”

The director said, “If it rains, it will better reflect the thrilling fight in the forest…”

The director, observing the effects on the monitor screen and not calling cut, watched as Zhong Xiaoyi threw the gun on the ground, picked up the saber, and wielded it, urging the cameraman to keep up.

It was nearly a one-shot effect, and when the director called cut, he declared it perfect.

“Mr. Gu, her name is Zhong Xiaoyi, right? I want to tailor-make an action movie for her as a female special forces soldier. She’s perfect for it…”

Gu Hanchen gave the director a blank stare, “She’s my secretary, what movies? She won’t act!”

The director slowly said, “With her beautiful looks and graceful posture, it’s a pity to have her as your secretary. Entering the entertainment industry, she’d definitely become a superstar.”

Gu Hanchen frowned tightly, “She’s not going into the entertainment industry.”

Gu Hanchen had his driver push his wheelchair over to where Zhong Xiaoyi was, “You’re all wet, quickly get to the car and head home to change clothes.”

Zhong Xiaoyi looked deeply at Gu Hanchen, recalling his earlier comment about ‘the nanny’s daughter.’ She wiped the rain off her face with the back of her hand, “I’ll take a taxi; I don’t want to dirty your car.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Who said you’d dirty my car? Come on, get in the car before you catch a cold.”
