Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 352: Chapter 352 You Help Her for No Reason

Gui Kairong’s efficiency in handling matters was truly top-notch. Soon, the staff member who had passed the message to Yunyi was brought over.

Gui Kairong looked at the man and said bluntly, ”What did you do? You have only one chance. If you don’t tell the truth, you can leave.”

The man was terrified. He’d never expected that helping Zhang Xueyan with a small favor would cause such trouble.

He naturally knew what was more important and couldn’t afford to lose his job over helping someone else. ”It was Zhang Xueyan who asked me,” he stammered. ”She said it was just a joke on Chu Yunyi.”

Gui Kairong’s mouth curled into a cold smile. ”And you’d help her for no reason?”

The staff member didn’t dare look up, muttering softly, ”She said that if there was a chance in the future, she would look after me.”

Gui Kairong nodded at him, his face cold. ”Go back to work for now.”

After the man left, Gui Kairong picked up the roster beside him and crossed out the man’s name. If it weren’t for limited funds and a shortage of staff, I wouldn’t have let this kind of person stay for even a moment. Anyway, the filming here will be finished in no more than twenty days, and someone like him will never appear in my production team again. Of course, he’ll probably disappear from the industry altogether too.

Seeing that no one else had arrived, Yunyi released her spiritual power to search for Zhang Xueyan. She happened to overhear Zhang Xueyan’s conversation with a makeup artist.

So that’s how it is, Yunyi thought. A serial scheme. Huh, interesting.

She watched the makeup artist go inside and place a powder compact in a drawer beneath the cabinet.

This must be for me, she realized.

As she was considering how to deal with it, she overheard Ding Yiman and Zhang Xueyan talking. ”Xueyan,” Ding Yiman said, ”that Chu Yunyi is really shameless! She even dared to snatch your role.”

”It’s just one role, isn’t it?” Zhang Xueyan replied. ”So what if she snatches it? With my uncle around, do you think I’m short of roles?”

Hearing this, Ding Yiman made her own plans. ”Today, there’s a scene where I have to kick her so she falls. Just wait, I’ll help you vent your anger.”

This was exactly what Zhang Xueyan wanted, but she didn’t say anything more. After all, if something happens, Ding Yiman will be the one to do it, and it will have nothing to do with me, she thought.

Seeing the two still chatting, Yunyi got up and walked towards the back. The makeup room had a rear door leading to an area where water was boiled, making it convenient for everyone to remove their makeup.

This was also convenient for Yunyi.

The makeup artist was chatting with someone near the doorway. Yunyi moved swiftly, swapping the powder compact in the drawer with the one on the table.

When she heard Ding Yiman’s voice, she quickly exited through the back door.

As she walked back, she kept her spiritual power focused on the situation in the makeup room to avoid implicating anyone else.

After all, she had checked the morning’s schedule. This particular makeup artist was only responsible for her, Ding Yiman, and Murong Linna’s makeup that morning.

I’ll intercept Murong Linna in a bit and do her makeup myself, Yunyi decided.

As if on cue, she saw Murong Linna approaching from a distance. ”Thank goodness you set an alarm for me!” Murong Linna exclaimed. ”Otherwise, I would have struggled to wake up. I’m thinking of joining you for morning exercise.”

Yunyi quickly stopped her. ”Hold on, hold on! I don’t want to be responsible for waking you up repeatedly. It’s better if you sleep until you wake up naturally.”

Murong Linna stuck out her tongue, somewhat embarrassed, and said with self-awareness, ”You’re right. I’d probably just end up delaying your exercise time.”

Yunyi gently poked her forehead. ”I really don’t know how you manage to sleep so much. Whether you go to bed early or late, you still can’t wake up. You truly amaze me.”
