Chapter 12: He’s the Only One Who Can Act Arrogantly

Yan Hao’s reaction to seeing Mo Yancheng was also that of shock. After overcoming said shock, he gave his greetings with a smile. Even though Mo Yancheng wasn’t familiar with him, Yan Hao’s reputation in the circle was pretty decent, and gave quite a long greeting to him.

At hald past seven, Gu Ran was the first to stand up to remind the director, “Can we leave already?”

The production team looked at the time and nodded. “Everybody, please board the bus!”

Mo Yancheng took lead as the group left the hotel.

One of the photographers reminded the director, “There’s still another guest who hasn’t arrived yet!”

When Ma Yunyun heard this, she looked around the crowd. “There’s still one more person! Why don’t we wait for a while!”

Gu Ran retorted, “We agreed that 7: 30 would be 7: 30. If you want to wait, stay behind yourself. Don’t waste our time.”

Ma Yunyun’s expression changed. Seeing the other guests looking at her, she immediately shook her head. “It’s fine, let’s go!”

The guests sat in a large tour bus while the production crew sat in a van driving behind the bus.

At this moment, they were holding an emergency meeting.

“What is this Gu Ran’s problem?! She’s the least influential celebrity in the entire team, and yet she has such a big temper!”

“Does Gu Ran not know what was previously agreed upon with her manager? That she was to play the role of a punching bag in this program?”

“Should we pull her aside later and tell her off privately?”

“Forget it, this is a live broadcast. If the netizens find out that our show has a script, how would we be able to continue this?”

“There’s still a guest who hasn’t come yet. Are we just going to leave him at the hotel like this?”

“7:30 is 7:30. If everyone, including the Movie King, is able to amke it on time, what excuse does he have to be arrogant enough to be late?”

But despite everything, the director did not want to find trouble, and could only relent, “Let’s stick to observing the problem with Gu Ran for now. If the viewership continues to climb because of her, then we’ll let it go. Otherwise, we can easily shift the blame onto her entirely as well. As for the other problem, leave a team behind to wait for him. Don’t run into any problems.”

At eight o’clock, Feng Cheng purposely went downstairs half an hour before the intended gathering time. He’d even changed up his usual style, and was getting ready to put on his diligent and charming persona for the crowd when he realized that the hall of the hotel was empty with nary a soul in sight.

He was a little stunned, and asked an employee behind him, “Is… Is nobody here yet?”

The staff remained expressionless. “The production team had already set off at 7: 30.”

“Didn’t they say the gathering time was 8:30?” Feng Cheng was shocked! He’d even went downstairs earlier!

The employee looked at him as if he was as idiot. “Who told you it was 8: 30? It was clearly 7: 30. You remembered wrongly.”

“Impossible! I remember it very clearly!”

The employee could not be bothered to re-explain everything for him and got into his car. “They should be at the airport by now. You’ll have to find your own way there, lest you miss your flight entirely.”

Feng Cheng :”…”

Left with no other choice, Feng Cheng could only take out his cellphone to call a taxi to the airport. However, as he opened the phone’s interface, he realized that this was a standard-issued phone by the program’s production. There were no payment apps in it, and neither was there a single linked bank card in the phone. He had no money to call a taxi.

Gu Ran clearly said 8: 30… Oh, so that’s how she wants to play it!

First, she had poured a bucket of cold water on him for no reason. Now, she had deliberately told him the wrong time and caused him to miss the gathering!

It seemed like Gu Ran knew he was the one who sold her to Director Li’s bed, which was why she was purposely going against him like this!

Fine!

If she wanted to oppose him so badly, he’d be glad to reciprocate the gesture!
