Chapter 18
The Legendary Mei Xiaolin
Some people were born to be at odds with each other. Jian Dan and Mei Xiaolin were such existences.
The moment Jian Dan stepped into the office, Mr. Wang sent her to pick up Mei Xiaolin from the hotel.
He even told Jian Dan to arrive within 20 minutes. The hotel was nearly 40 kilometers away from Yuanyi. Jian Dan took a cab to the hotel where Mei Xiaolin was staying and it took about 28 minutes.
However, when Jian Dan arrived at the hotel, she was told that Miss Mei was not ready yet and asked her to wait downstairs in the lobby.
If she’s not ready, why did she want me to arrive within 20 minutes? Is there something wrong with this person?
Jian Dan waited for an entire hour. She had waited for so long but Mei Xiaolin still was not ready. The company had booked the studio for 10:30 a.m. It was already 9:30 a.m.. If they did not set off now, they would be late. Jian Dan called Mei Xiaolin’s manager and told her that they were running out of time.
Unexpectedly, the manager’s attitude was very unfriendly. “Wait some more!” She hung up the phone.
Jian Dan had a bad temper and they had already made her wait for more than an hour. Now, she even hung up on her?
Jian Dan was about to fly off the handle but she could not flare up. After all, this was the company’s top priority. If she messed it up…
When they came to the lobby, it was already five minutes to 10 a.m..
Fortunately, Jian Dan had already called a cab in advance. But who knew… “You want Xiaolin to take a cab? Are you kidding me?” Mei Xiaolin’s manager said angrily.
Jian Dan was stunned…
There were such people in this world?
She was simply pushing her limits.
“Xiaolin is an international superstar. Not only did you not arrange for a car to pick her up, but you also let her take a cab. That’s outrageous,” the managercontinued. “Call your company and send a car to pick her up immediately. Otherwise, we won’t film anymore.”
Didn’t they say that there would be retribution for being despicable? If there’s any angel who is available, please take her away.
Jian Dan was sent here the moment she stepped into the office. How could she arrange a car in such a short time?
“I was indeed negligent this time. I will definitely make proper arrangements next time.” Jian Dan suppressed the anger in her heart.
“Do I have to bear the consequences for your negligence?” Mei Xiaolin—who had been silent—spoke up.
“Of course, I can’t let you bear the consequences. It’s just that there’s really no time now. If we don’t rush over, we’ll delay the filming,” Jian Dan explained to Mei Xiaolin.
The company had already called several times to urge her.
“That’s not my problem,” she said, and started to walk back into the hotel.
There was a limit to one’s tolerance.
Jian Dan was on the verge of exploding. She was about to…
Just as Jian Dan was about to fly into a rage, an MPV drove over from the entrance…
Fang He was in the vehicle. A girl in her twenties got out of the vehicle. “Miss Xiaolin, don’t be angry. Come and ride with us to Yuanyi!”
Mengmeng? It was Mengmeng?
Jian Dan looked at Mengmeng and blinked at her. She instantly understood what Mengmeng meant. “Miss Mei, we did not do a good job today. It was our negligence. I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive us.”
Jian Dan could only forcefully suppress her anger that was about to explode in view of today’s shoot. “Yes! Miss Mei, I’m really sorry about today.”
She was furious but she still had to smile apologetically. That was too much.
“That’s right! Xiaolin, why make things difficult for an assistant?” Fang He chimed in.
Mei Xiaolin glanced at Jian Dan and said, “I’ll let you off today on account of Fang He.” She got into Fang He’s vehicle with her manager.
Jian Dan quickly followed…
When they arrived at Yuanyi, Mei Xiaolin and Fang He walked in front… Mei Xiaolin’s manager followed behind them, and Jian Dan and Fang He’s manager walked at the back “Mengmeng, I was about to lose my temper. If you hadn’t appeared, I would have lost it.” Jian Dan whispered to Mengmeng.
“I can see that.”
Mengmeng and Jian Dan were best friends. How could Mengmeng not tell?
“By the way, when did you become Fang He’s manager?” Jian Dan asked.
She didn’t want to think about the unhappy stuff…
“It happened in the past two days! I haven’t told you yet! By the way, Mei Xiaolin is famous in the industry for being hot-tempered and throwing her weight around. You offended her today, so be careful,” Mengmeng reminded her softly.
“Don’t worry!” Jian Dan raised her eyebrows confidently at Mengmeng.
She offended Mei Xiaolin? Mei Xiaolin was the one who offended her, okay?
It was already good enough that she did not argue with her.
Hmph! So what if she was a celebrity?
