Chapter 40 Trouble Keeps Coming

  "Great!" The director's words excited everyone present. In the last scene, it was a dreamy sword dance scene, originally the director wanted to call a stand-in, but Meng Er said no need, and in one take, not only was there no NG, but also the dance moves were beautiful, the swordsmanship was impressive, and her whole body emitted a lively and elegant aura.

  "Meng'er, you look so beautiful!" Yan'er brought over water and a towel for her.

  They have been with the crew for three days now. She still remembers that on Friday, she received a notice from Yuwen Feng saying that filming was about to start. The person next to her, Yan'er, overheard and was even more excited than her. With a pitiful look, she said, "Meng'er, you promised me, I want to be your personal assistant, so take me with you!"

  So it became this scene: she was filming and he was watching from the side, she rested and he poured tea for her, really giving off an assistant's feeling.

  "Sit down!" Meng Er said, looking at Yan Er who was busy running back and forth. "You really are my assistant, aren't you?"

  "Meng'er, you're not going to fire me, are you?" The hand that was about to pass her the water cup stiffened for a moment.

  "No, I just think it's strange that you need this job so much?" She paused for a moment before continuing to ask, "Do you have a family to support?"

  Just as he was about to open the umbrella, he stiffened again and replied, "I don't need to support my family, but I do need to support myself. However, since you pay me such a high salary, I won't even need to take on any part-time jobs!" Yan stretched out the umbrella and said to Meng, "Don't worry, I'm just doing my job! Relax!"

  "Alright, I'll go to the restroom!" Meng'er patted her head and walked towards the restroom. She didn't know that their conversation just now had been overheard by someone with ulterior motives.

  Meng'er finished cleaning up and wanted to go out by pulling the door, but it wouldn't budge! She used more force, but still couldn't move it. "Is anyone there? Is there someone outside?" Meng'er knocked on the door, but there was no response from outside. All she could hear was the sound of heavy objects moving, and then she saw a large bucket of water pouring down on her head.

  "Ah!" Instantly drenched by the water, Meng Er let out a terrified cry, truly feeling chilled to the bone. "Who is it? Someone's inside..." Before she could finish speaking, another ladle of water was poured down from above. "A decent person doesn't do things in secret, if you have the ability then let me out first!"

  Meng'er knocked excitedly on the door, but everything around her had returned to calmness. Only water droplets slid down her cheeks, dripping onto her collarbone, bringing a cool sensation. Her thin silk dress was soaked through, clinging to her body, feeling both cold and uncomfortable.

  She couldn't understand why someone would tease her like this on set. She crossed her arms and rubbed them back and forth repeatedly to warm herself up.

  More than ten minutes have passed, and Meng Er is still wondering why this silly girl hasn't discovered herself yet. Tired from standing, Meng Er squats on the ground, enduring the stench that occasionally wafts out of the bathroom. Meng Er can't figure it out - which great god has she offended, to be teased with such an old trick?

  Just as Meng was about to fall asleep, the outermost door was finally slammed open. Yan's anxious voice came in: "Meng, are you inside?"

  "Wait, wait! I'm here!" But in the end, I fell into darkness once again...

  When I woke up again, I was on a hotel bed downstairs, but it was already evening.

  She told her that at that time, she left for a while and someone came to ask her to go to the costume room to confirm Meng's costume. Half an hour later, she returned but didn't see Meng's shadow, so she went to the bathroom to find her. Seeing a maintenance sign outside, she thought of going to the one in the south to take a look. On the way, she happened to meet Zou Bing, who said that he saw her entering the bathroom under maintenance. I was thinking, you wouldn't be so unlucky as to get trapped inside, would you? Later, following Zou Bing to find someone to push open the door, it turned out that you were indeed locked in by someone. Fortunately, there was Zou Bing this time, otherwise, who knows how long you would have been trapped for.

  Meng'er stared at the ceiling without making a sound. Yan'er reached out and gently touched her forehead, continuing to say: "Fortunately, it's not serious, otherwise I'd be scolded by Le Huan again!" Yan'er's mention of 'Le Huan' made Meng'er laugh. If Le Huan were here, they would start fighting again! "Meng'er, don't you know who it is at all?"

  "I don't know!" Then comfortingly said to Yan Er: "It's okay, it's alright!"

  The next day, Meng Er endured her physical discomfort and arrived at the scene with great professionalism. She had already sparked controversy by entering this play, and she couldn't afford to create any more negative topics about herself.

  But today is even worse than yesterday!

  "Slap!" Meng Er's face was slapped again! However, the person who did it turned to the director and said, "Sorry, Director, I still didn't get the feeling right this time!" Then, he smiled apologetically at Meng Er: "Meng Er, sorry, I made you suffer again!"

  Meng Er looked into her eyes and replied word by word: "It's okay, as long as Dy Jie can find the feeling and take perfect shots, Meng Er doesn't mind being beaten a hundred times!"

  Dai heard Meng Er's words, the smile on her face cracked a little, but she still forced herself to calm down. When she heard the director call out, she raised her hand and slapped Meng Er's face heavily once again!

  It wasn't tomato sauce or dog blood, but a tiny thread of blood had indeed seeped from the corner of Meng'er's mouth. Yet her head was still held high with pride, for although she was not favored, she was still the queen, and as a noble consort, she dared to be beaten by the empress dowager in private!

  The scene was silent, even the director forgot to shout "cut". Everyone's eyes were fixed on the woman on stage, slender in figure but majestic and dignified.

  "Ah, director, sorry about that! Let's try again! My facial expression wasn't quite right!" Dy's voice rang out urgently once more.

  Yuwen Feng's voice rang out from upstairs, but was immediately stopped by someone next to him. Suddenly, a loud and clear voice echoed on the set: "You're not just lacking in expression, you're completely off the mark! I'm even starting to suspect that your previous Best Actor award was undeserved. Someone who has been acting for over a decade can't even get a slap right after four or five takes - it really makes me wonder about your motivations!"

  Silence, and another silence! Meng Er stared blankly at the woman in front of her, who was about 1.75 meters tall, with a mischievous face looking at DY, delicate features, red lips and white teeth, and a sharp tongue that was poisonous from the moment she appeared.

  Then Kevin shouted from beside him, "Michelle is here!"

  The woman called Michelle didn't care about her and instead walked towards Meng Er with a pained expression, saying "What a pity to ruin such a cute face! How could you do that?" She clicked her tongue twice, then turned to the director and said "Director, don't you know that there's no use arguing with this kind of person?"

  Meng'er only saw the director almost falling off his chair, she was so curious, what kind of background this woman had, to be able to be so...uninhibited on set!

  "Michelle, that's enough! Let's take a break!" A loud and thick voice came from the second floor, attracting everyone's attention. However, it couldn't attract Meng Er's. Meng Er looked at Michelle making a cute but unbecoming face at the person upstairs, despite her elegant makeup. Then, she was pulled by Yan Er to sit down on one side, with an ice pack applied to her face.

  The corner of her eye caught a glimpse of him staring blankly at the back of the person who had turned and left, with a mix of confusion, perplexity, and mostly sorrow. Meng Er looked at his back and suddenly felt that even the most despicable person must have some pitiful aspect to them.
