It turns out, she had already told the clerk in advance, saying that she was going to offend Madam Fu today, but it was okay, she’d give her a hefty sum as long as she helped out in the act.

After Jin Hua came down, she stood there fixedly looking in the direction of Ye Ning.

A bit surprised, and naturally a bit regretful.

The director came over with a smile, saying, "Teacher Jin, you’re still as sharp as ever, working with you always puts my mind at ease."

But Jin Hua felt very uncomfortable hearing this, especially when she saw the director’s face full of joy and satisfaction.

She regretted thinking about what had just happened to her, how she ended up being led on by Ye Ning.

However, there’s no use saying anything now, the tone has already been set.

She could only think, next time, next time it won’t be like this...

Meanwhile, someone behind was asking the director, "Hey, what happened with Teacher Jin today? She didn’t overshadow Ye Ning."

The director chuckled, "Isn’t it because of Ye Ning?"

Looking at Ye Ning under the camera, he said, "Some people, their acting is so strong that it elevates the entire play. Before, Jin Hua hadn’t encountered anyone like that, and clearly, today she did."

Several people looked even more astonished, towards the inside.

The director meant Ye Ning’s acting skills... are they that impressive?

It was soon finished.

Ye Ning said to Jin Hua, "Teacher Jin, I’m leaving now, see you tomorrow."

Jin Hua smiled, watching her walk out with the two bodyguards.

Ye Ning turned back to the two bodyguards, "There’s no one around here, you don’t have to follow me so closely."

Hong Zi asked, "Then, are you going back to your room?"

"Uh... no."

"Then we still have to follow you." He said, "The company said we have to protect you."

Ye Ning shook her head, "We’re going out for hot pot... Never mind, you guys come along too."

The bodyguards Ye Ning had in the past were all assigned by the company, and they usually didn’t stick so closely without reason.

For some reason this time, they came along so closely.

Ye Ning had planned to go for hot pot with Lin Yuying.

They had agreed to go together, and Hong Zi seemed quite happy about it.

"Miss Ye, you’re even treating us, it’s really too kind."

Ye Ning said, "No worries, let’s all enjoy the spicy food together."

Upon entering a nearby hot pot restaurant, it was quite crowded. Ye Ning wore a hat, and naturally, some people recognized her and took photos, but no one came up to greet her.

A few who wanted to approach were directly stopped by the two bodyguards.

Ye Ning suddenly felt that having bodyguards with her seemed to be somewhat useful.

Just then, Ye Ning quickly saw someone approaching.

The person was none other than a colleague from Ye Ning’s company, a fellow actor.

His name was Jia Hua, and he walked over with a respectful smile, "Sis Ning, what a coincidence to bump into you here."

Ye Ning was a bit stunned, "Ah, hello."

"I’m joining the crew tomorrow, so I checked in today. Can I join you here?"

Ye Ning said, "Oh, of course."

She motioned for him to sit down.

He looked at the people beside him and smiled, "These must be Sis Ning’s staff members, right?"

"Yeah, they are."

"Sis Ning is always so good to people, we all know that. They all say they especially enjoy working for you."

"Really?"

"Yes, the staff at your studio seem so happy. Ah, I wonder when I’ll have my own studio."
