The Byoukidere Is Her Sweetie-Chapter 281 - : Director Jiang tidies up relations with stakeholders, reveals girlfriend (second update)

Fangbao’s Boyfriend: “They aren’t injured, no need to pay money.”

She still felt guilty.

Fangbao: “It’s my fault, I was too strong.”

She was so rude and savage, like Wu Song fighting tigers, a ‘reckless man.’

Fangbao: “Will this delay your filming?”

Fangbao’s Boyfriend: “It won’t delay anything, she’s clocked out, she has no more scenes.”

Clocked out?

As Fang Lixiang walked by, he caught a glimpse of these words: “How do I remember Princess Ming Rong having quite a few scenes?” She couldn’t have clocked out that quickly.

Zhou Xufang asked Jiang Zhi the same question.

After he replied, Zhou Xufang told Fang Lixiang: “Jiang Zhi said her acting was too bad, they don’t want her anymore.”

Fang Lixiang: “?”

Was it really that bad? It seemed okay to me.

There were three consecutive scenes up next, all Fang Lixiang’s scenes, then a break in between.

During the break, there was a bit of an incident. Ah Wan heard about it while squatting in the bathroom. Pulling up her trousers mid-way, she ran to report to her boss.

“Boss, Miss Zhou has been called over by that actress with the surname Jiang,” Ah Wan asked for instructions, “Should I get Vice Director Zhao to check it out?”

Less than ten seconds later, Jiang Zhi opened the door.

On the other end, Jiang Chun had just woken up and had her assistant call Zhou Xufang over. Besides a few staff members in the resting room, there were also several actors.

The area between Jiang Chun’s brows was still swollen red, having been pinched by the emergency responders, and her complexion looked very ugly: “What’s your name?”

Zhou Xufang stood there; when she didn’t smile, her expression was naturally cold: “Zhou Xufang.”

Jiang Chun, leaning on her assistant to stand up, stared at Zhou Xufang, her enunciation heavy with significance: “You did it on purpose just now, knocking me out, right?”

Zhou Xufang, expressionless, cold and indifferent: “No.”

Jiang Chun’s eyes reddened with anger: “You still won’t admit it?”

“No.”

Jiang Chun was made to laugh out of sheer irritation by Zhou Xufang’s unflappable demeanor: “Hah, quite defiant, aren’t you?”

Why did she always feel like she was being defiant?

Zhou Xufang couldn’t understand: “I’m not being defiant, knocking you out was an accident.” She hadn’t done well, she apologized, “I’m sorry.”

Others in the resting room were whispering amongst themselves.

Jiang Chun was more than just annoyed, not caring that others were present, she was relentless towards Zhou Xufang: “Is this how you apologize?”

“Then how should I apologize?” Zhou Xufang thought for a moment, “I can compensate for the medical expenses.”

Jiang Chun sneered, standing in her ten-centimeter high heels, she was barely as tall as Zhou Xufang: “Kneel down, say you were wrong, and that you won’t dare do it again.”

Being unreasonable and unrelenting was excessive behavior.

Zhou Xufang was a bit angry.

“Can’t do it, huh?” Jiang Chun pressured her aggressively, her demeanor haughty, “If you can’t do it, then get lost, and don’t let me see you on set again.”

Zhou Xufang’s hands itched.

Could she hit someone? Would she have to pay even more money if she did? Would it cause trouble for Jiang Zhi? Would it be too unkind to use a sack tonight?

Zhou Xufang frowned, pondering.

At that moment, the assistant whispered in Jiang Chun’s ear: “Sister Jiang Chun,” she had heard it from the gossip of the crew members, “This lady is connected, you can’t offend her.”

Everyone spoke of it privately in hushed tones, without specifying whose connection she was.

Jiang Chun seemed to have a sudden epiphany: “No wonder she’s so stubborn, she’s got a backer.”

She was just a stand-in actor, how influential could her backer be?

“Who is it, who’s backing you?” Jiang Chun leaned on the makeup table, looking down on Zhou Xufang arrogantly, “Say it, and I’ll have them get lost with you.”

Zhou Xufang couldn’t stand it anymore. Just as she took a step forward, she heard Jiang Zhi’s voice, feigning illness, weak and listless, “Who are you telling to roll?”

Jiang Chun was taken aback.

Jiang Zhi moved slowly, walked over, coughed twice, his lips red and teeth white. Because of the coughing, there were faint blue veins on his neck, “I’m talking to you, who are you telling to roll?” He was slightly out of breath as he spoke.

Jiang Chun kept quiet for a long while before speaking. Her voice was sweet, not as commanding as before, “I don’t know who stuffed this stand-in actress in here, throwing her weight around.” Smiling and looking harmless, she added, “I heard my uncle say that such nepotism isn’t allowed in Director Jiang’s crew.”

Her uncle was the chief producer of the crew.

“It’s not allowed,” Jiang Zhi said nonchalantly, then added the second half of the sentence, “So you don’t need to come anymore.”

Jiang Chun couldn’t keep up her smile, “Director Jiang, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Jiang Zhi couldn’t be bothered to drag it on, “If you don’t understand, go ask your uncle. You were brought in by him; let him explain.” He asked, “Do you understand now?”

She was exactly the type of nepotism beneficiary he was referencing.

Jiang Chun, embarrassed and unable to maintain her composure, was spoiled and not used to being treated this way, quite indignant: “What about her?”

Zhou Xufang was also a beneficiary of nepotism. Why should she get to stay and throw her weight around in the crew!

Jiang Zhi said, “She’s different, her backer is too strong.” Then he turned and called out, “Zhou Xufang.”

Zhou Xufang was startled.

“Come here.”

“Oh.”

She went over.

Jiang Zhi put his arm around her waist, “Let me formally introduce, my girlfriend, Zhou Xufang.”

Zhou Xufang: “…”

We agreed to keep it a secret.

The onlookers: “…”

That’s a solid backer.

Jiang Chun’s face turned ashen.

Jiang Zhi moved his hand from his girlfriend’s waist to her shoulder, twirling her hair playfully, “I believe many have seen her in my last film crew. She doesn’t talk much, so please make sure to look after her.”

They had seen her, indeed, even had a nickname for her—Black-clothed Man.

Those in the know—Life Producer: “Rest assured, Director Jiang.”

Those in the know—Executive Producer: “Certainly, certainly.”

In the last movie, the shots of this director’s wife were even more plentiful than those of the female lead, just that her face was never shown.

Jiang Zhi finished giving instructions and then led his girlfriend away.

Ah Wan stayed behind to wrap things up: “My boss’s girlfriend’s face hasn’t been exposed yet, don’t share photos carelessly.” He sincerely warned the eager onlookers, “If you must share, please be mentally prepared.”

The onlookers: “…”

Jiang Chun was still stunned. As the murmuring quieted, she called her uncle.

Without finishing listening to her sob story, her uncle just said, “If you still want to mix in this circle, roll back here as soon as possible.”

Zhou Xufang felt like everyone was looking at her.

She withdrew her hand from Jiang Zhi’s and intentionally distanced herself without holding it, “Now everyone knows I’m a nepotism beneficiary.”

Jiang Zhi pulled her back, “So they know, it will save others from posturing in front of you.” It would save him from having to pretend not to be close when he wanted to kiss and hug her.

Zhou Xufang was very concerned, “Now they won’t recognize my acting skills anymore.” She was extremely worried, “It’s hard for someone with connections to prove their worth.”

Jiang Zhi: “…”

Are the perks of being a nepotism beneficiary not good enough?

Zhou Xufang was serious about everything she did. Now that she was a stunt double, she aimed to be an excellent one. She asked Jiang Zhi, “Jiang Zhi, can we switch to a higher wall for my jump? This one’s too short to demonstrate my skills.”

“…No.”

Zhou Xufang was hugely disappointed, “That’s a real shame.” Otherwise, she could have been an outstanding stunt double.

Jiang Zhi: “…”

After resting for another ten minutes, they continued filming the next scene.

It was a fight between the female lead and the second female lead. Before the gauze hat fell off, Zhou Xufang, as the double, would film it. After that, when the hat fell and the face would be revealed, Fang Lixiang would take over.

Before starting, the martial arts director asked Zhou Xufang to spar with Su Chan briefly.

Zheng Durong reminded Su Chan in advance, “That stand-in actress is Director Jiang’s girlfriend, be polite to her.”

While wrapping the tape on her hands, Su Chan looked up, “Which one?”

Zheng Durong pointed her out, “Next to Fang Lixiang, the one in black.”

She glanced over, finished wrapping her wrist guard, and approached, “Hello.” Extending her hand, she said, “I’m Su Chan.”

With a light and charming smile, every move she made was graceful.

“Hello.”

Zhou Xufang didn’t extend her hand; she always had a low body temperature and didn’t shake hands with people, “Sorry, my hands are dirty.”
