Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 135: 135 Aren’t all women insincere with their words?

After the morning shooting ended, Chen Beini asked for half a day off, seemingly not only to apologize to the thirteen artists but also to make a serious apology to the brand side, which had suffered heavy losses. Chen Beini’s team wanted her to personally take care of it to show sincerity, which might retain the last bit of good impression between the two sides.

Currently, Chen Beini’s team hadn’t sent out their statement; after all, it was a big deal that would hurt the fans, so they needed to lay the groundwork first.

Miss Shi knew better than anyone that once Chen Beini’s team’s PR statement was released, it would slam down hard on Chen Beini’s own foot.

In the afternoon, everyone on set was baking in the heat of around forty degrees. Shi Lan sat on a chair, dozing off when Dr. Sun, who’d gossiped around, returned and said behind her, “Boss, Gu Chengyu’s team has canceled all joint resources. They’ve reportedly written the eighth version of the breakup statement. It’s utterly disgustingly opportunistic, with a speed that’s unrivaled in the industry.”

Shi Lan removed the script from her face, opened her eyes, and said carelessly, “His team won’t release the breakup statement now.”

“Why not? Chen Beini is dragging him down, and his fans are all clamoring for a disengagement. Isn’t it a great opportunity?”

Miss Shi shook her head, put the script aside, and straightened up, saying, “He won’t break up now. In a few days, once Chen Beini’s mess settles down and then he breaks up, it will look to fans and the public not like he’s kicking her while she’s down, but that he’s been loyal and righteous.”

“So, in the end, in this love triangle, both women end up in a bad place, while the scumbag rises in popularity?” Sun Ling was instantly angry, “Boss… ”

“You think I don’t want to teach him a lesson on humanity? I’m now only a minor celebrity. I have to consider the entire crew and team of ‘Smoke’. I can’t mess up my own show; do you know how hard it is to handle scum while maintaining a sense of propriety?” Miss Shi countered, “However, I will try to make Gu Chengyu’s team revise their breakup statement ten more times or more.”

Wanting to escape the situation?

The unjustly treated An Lan wouldn’t agree.

…

The afternoon shooting, without the disheartened Chen Beini, went much faster for the entire team.

Meanwhile, Gu Chengyu kept observing Shi Lan, wanting to please her but not daring to be too obvious, so he resorted to the old trick of treating the crew to coffee and cake. However, when it was delivered to Shi Lan, she still didn’t touch it, acting as if she hadn’t seen it.

Sun Ling didn’t touch it either, as though the afternoon tea brought by Gu Chengyu was poisoned.

Both were content to wait for President Yan to feed them, with all sorts of imported, prepped, and even chilled healthy fruits—weren’t they tempting?

After the fruit was delivered, Miss Shi also had a special WeChat notification from her backup boyfriend.

President Yan: “It’s fruit time.”

Sun Ling said that translated, it meant, “I miss you.”

Shi Lan immediately felt puzzled since last time when she sent President Yan a message saying “I’m sleeping”, Yan Shixiu also thought she meant she missed him.

How come “I miss you” has so many elaborate ways of expression?

However, compared to her previous blunt responses, the miss knew to leave some room for the other person, responding in a different way: “What are you busy with?”

President Yan: “What’s up? Checking on me?”

The miss was immediately a bit… perplexed.

“What are you busy with” equals checking on me?

Sun Ling couldn’t contain his amusement, munching on fruit and saying, “Conversations between sweethearts have to be understood in context, boss. You need to get the subtext between lovers.”

“For example?”

“For instance, when a girl says: ‘Are you there? Are you asleep?’ Such questions, they mean ‘I’m lonely, I miss you.’ When a girl says: ‘No need, forget it, do your thing, I don’t need that,’ it means ‘I’m angry, hurry up and coax me.’ Aren’t women always saying one thing but meaning another?”

Having heard all this, Miss Shi suddenly felt that she really might not be a woman, seriously questioning her own gender!
