Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn-Chapter 124 - : 123 At worst, it’s unemployment

Chapter 124: 123 At worst, it’s unemployment

The next morning, Shi Lan hadn’t even gotten out of bed when she already felt the commotion at the hotel. Gu Chengyu had practically turned his birthday into a national celebration.

After breakfast and stepping out, Shi Lan and Sun Ling encountered various fan supports for Gu Chengyu on the way, and even the film set had an early arrival of a support truck filled with food.

Gu Chengyu’s birthday party was arranged for noon, and at such times, of course, one had to dance a little dance for the dedicated professional persona. Coupled with the fact that several media visits were scheduled for the day, even Chen Beini, who usually had early scenes, was exceptionally hardworking. Even backstage, she and Gu Chengyu were being overly affectionate, providing plenty of material for the National Couple fans.

After makeup, Shi Lan, as usual, sat under the umbrella reviewing the script and memorizing lines. However, because today some fans and leading fans were allowed to visit the set, there were pockets of Gu Chengyu’s fans squeezed into every corner of the filming site.

“Look how sweet our National Couple is. That green tea bitch deserves the isolation by the crew.”

“Do you know why I’m so happy that nobody in the entire crew bothers with her?”

...

“Doesn’t she deserve it? Just a mere supporting actress trying to reach for the skies.”

The crew members, upon hearing the fans’ nonsensical chatter, struggled to restrain their eye-rolling impulses, thinking, “It’s your two-faced National Couple who are isolated by the crew, okay? With An Lan’s professional capacity, your disgusting couple needs at least three to five years of grinding.”

Finally, a young man from the props department couldn’t bear it anymore and, under the pretext of work, said to a few Gu fans in front of him, “Excuse me, can you guys move a bit? You’re blocking my work.”

A few young girls looked back, snorted coldly, arrogantly glanced at the young man, and then very reluctantly moved to another spot.

“Idiots.” The props guy crouched down and muttered under his breath.

Seeing the National Couple’s work enthusiasm today, the crew members wished he would have a birthday every day, so that they wouldn’t be dragged into overtime by this couple, exhausted in both body and spirit.

…

Just past ten in the morning, Tang Ze was ordered to come to the set, tasked with keeping an eye on Shi Lan to make sure she apologized to the National Couple.

However, Tang Ze thought that even if the whole company came to watch over Lord Shi, they might not be able to prevent her from unleashing her trump card. Initially, Tang Ze was worried about Shi Lan courting trouble. Now, seeing the atmosphere of the set and the ridicule from the fans and media, he immediately changed his stance. Was this not just cyber-bullying followed by public execution? People who are not famous don’t get any dignity at all?

Thinking this, Tang Ze patted Shi Lan’s shoulder and said, “Go ahead with whatever you want to do, I’ve got your back.”

Shi Lan looked up at Tang Ze, smiling, “Are you sure you can handle it?”

Tang Ze opened his mouth, then closed it, taking a while before he could reply, “The worst-case scenario is unemployment.”

“If you really want to help me, just keep an eye on the Alliance Fans. Just hire a few powder-fans to focus on the rhythm. Today, let Chen Beini shed tears of lifelong regret. Later, I’ll wait backstage after the birthday party. Record a video of me waiting there and release it. Then stir up another wave with the photos of An Lan’s previous hospital rescue to agitate the nerves of the onlookers and Alliance Fans.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got this covered.” Tang Ze patted his chest as he answered.

If everything was under control, what was there to be angry about?

All the contempt, ridicule, and verbal attacks—Lord Shi never played the petty games of elementary schoolers. She preferred the thrill of manipulating from the shadows, like a cat toying with a mouse.

Therefore, even though all the fans on site were waiting to laugh at Shi Lan’s expense, the young lady remained composed. Apologizing was out of the question, not in this lifetime would she apologize to anyone.

So, they shot three scenes in the morning, and during the last one, Director Yan sent over some fruit.

Tang Ze picked it up and looked, puzzled, “Is this from Director Yan? Why are the oranges all spoiled?”
