He turned livid again and he ordered, “Call her again. She has no sense of time at all.”

The a.s.sistant did as she was told, but after a while, she shook her head again. “I still can’t get through. Something must’ve happened. Xiaow.a.n.g hasn’t done this before.”

Director Zhuang glared at her.

The atmosphere tensed.

Zhou Shuang thought for a while before standing up. She said to Director Zhuang, “Xiaow.a.n.g is in charge of the outfits for our clients and I’ve been learning from her these past few days. I can fill in for her.”

Director Zhuang frowned, his gaze landed on her. He sized her up before asking, “Are you up to it?”

He was doubtful of her capabilities.

Zhou Shuang resolutely nodded without hesitation. “Yes, I am.”

For the past month, she had been learning from the sidelines in the studio. She had never joined them on an outdoor shoot before.

Director Zhuang looked at the rest of the faces in the office and realized that there was no better candidate. He nodded and said, “Alright then. Hurry up.”

“Okay.” Zhou Shuang was elated that she could finally join them for an outdoor shoot.

She hurriedly packed her things. Fortunately, she had been helping Xiaow.a.n.g for the past few days, so she knew how the latter had arranged the required outfits and accessories for their client, Ai Ruili.

The company worked for high-end clients, so naturally, the crew made their way to the venue in a luxurious vehicle.

How else would they show that their company was high end?

Zhou Shuang scanned the entire interior of the luxurious and comfortable caravan.

The company owned multiple of such.

Zhou Shuang had insufficient rest the past few nights, so she began to feel tired.

Her eyelids began to droop. Just as she was about to fall into a slumber, Director Zhuang, who was sitting beside her, suddenly piped up.

“Ensure that all the props are ready. Time is money to Ai Ruili. She hates it when people waste her time, so you have to do everything quickly,” Director Zhuang said to Zhou Shuang in a stern voice.

Zhou Shuang nodded. “I’ve got it.”

He said it as though everyone else’s time was dog s.h.i.+t. Whose time wasn’t money?

She had heard of this Ai Ruili before. She won countless awards last year. She even walked down the red carpet for starring in a Hollywood movie earlier this year.

She was a rising star, but there were often reports on how she was a fussy person.

Director Zhuang thought for a moment before adding, “Start preparing in a while. The first set requires the period costume.”

They were filming at a village surrounded by mountains and seas in the neighboring city. They were here mainly for the field mustards and peach blossoms.

Zhou Shuang nodded. “Sure.”

“Remember, you can’t take your own sweet time. You have to be quick,” Director Zhuang reiterated.

Zhou Shuang secretly rolled her eyes. Weren’t those in the arts usually men of few words?

‘Why was he so long-winded?’

She nodded and replied, “Got it.”

“Is that impatience I hear in your tone?” Director Zhuang asked her with a frown.

Zhou Shuang hurriedly denied. “No.”

‘Seriously? How long-winded could he be? He’s been telling me about Ai Ruili’s working style and her dislikes since we got onto the car.’

After Director Zhuang kept rus.h.i.+ng the chauffeur, they eventually reached the filming location at the same time as Ai Ruili.

The two luxurious vehicles parked together and had caught the eyes of those around.
