Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

The crew had already prepared the hotel where the cast and other crew members would have to temporarily stay in Silver City.

Silver City was another television city where every movie and television was created there and to accommodate the area and setting of the movie, several buildings and lands were used.

A few hours later, Ran Xueyi arrived at the city's airport.

As soon as Ran Xueyi left the sliding door, she was stunned at the sudden flashes of cameras and a crowd gathered in front of her. If she hadn't known that she kept her itinerary and flight schedule a secret from her fans, she would have assumed that they came for her. And so, even though she was slightly surprised at the sudden emergence of the fans behind the security barricade, she didn't put it in her heart and slipped out of the arrival area of the airport like the other ordinary passengers.

She pulled on the mask on her face and avoided the cameras by lowering her head that had a black bap on it.

But who would have thought that the 'idol' that these fans were waiting for took the same airplane and flight as Ran Xueyi, and was walking behind her.

--"Ahhhhh!!!! I died earlier. Now, I'm alive! My beauty Gu Jiao is finally here!"

--"Og my God, she looks so beautiful no matter what she wears! Sisters, I think I'm going to change my gender!"

--"Upstairs, there's no need for you to change your gender! We can still fall in love with Gu Jiao's beauty even if we're of the same gender!"

--" Ah, ah, ah! I heard that she's joining a drama in the city and took a look. I never thought that Cupid would ruthlessly shoot my heart and make me fall in love with her!"

Ran Xueyi heard the screams of these fans and looked behind her. A woman was waving her hands to the crowd and had a smile on her face. She was wearing a black leather jacket and white shirt underneath, and a pair of pants and brown boots.

The woman had this fresh and innocent temperament as she walked closer to her fans and casually took some of their letters and bouquets.

"Thank you everyone for coming here for me!" Gu Jiao faced her fans and thanked them.

Her agent came forward to take the stuff in her hand and urged her forward, afraid that these foolish fans would advance forward and take advantage of their artist. Gu Jiao didn't object and also walked forward, but as she took her step, she noticed someone staring at her.

In front of her was a tall woman in a casual black shirt and pants. At a glance, Gu Jiao realized that the woman had an unmistaken elegance by the way she just stood there for a few seconds.

Both of them wore the complete opposite type of clothings; black and white. Gu Jiao was confident with herself and with her fans' obsessively praising her looks, she was completely satisfied.

Yet, the moment she laid her eyes on the woman, she had this momentary loss of confidence. The woman obviously wore an ordinary shirt without a brand and matched Gu Jia's fashion that her stylist took a lot of work to create just for this airport appearance. Even so, the woman still exuded a more natural, powerful aura.

This somewhat annoyed her.

Suddenly, Gu Jiao had this urge to beat the other in terms of temperament. She wanted to show the stranger that she was much better and walked a few steps forward to stand close by to the woman. In that case, they would be compared and her fans would undoubtedly praise her even more.

Ran Xueyi didn't know what the other was thinking. However, she could guess more or less what the other's intentions were.

Hence, the moment Gu Jiao took a step forward to approach her, Ran Xueyi turned her back to her and no longer cared about Gu Jiao. She had no time for this.

Gu Jiao looked at the back of the other and gritted her lips. She was disappointed that the other left, but seeing the other hastily walk away, it still boosted up her self confidence while thinking that the other chickened out and ran.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiao's agent noticed the changes in her mood and asked.

Gu Jiao shook her head, "It's nothing. When is the meeting time again?"

"At 9:30 am, the meeting will start and once that ends, the crew will follow with the script reading. Wen Lai didn't come but from what I heard, he will be doing a video call throughout the script reading to not be left behind."

Gu Jiao and Wen Lai came from the same company. The two of them could be considered as good siblings since they treat each other very well. It's just that Wen Lai was a bit older and has been in the acting industry for a bit longer than Gu Jiao.

"The other cast should have already arrived by now. We should also go to the crew's side."

Gu Jiao yawned before saying, "There's no need to rush. I couldn't sleep these past few days because of my tour. Help me contact Producer He and tell him that we will arrive a bit later."

Gu Jiao's agent was alarmed by her words. Gu Jiao just debuted as an actor last year after being a singer for three years. Because there wasn't enough market in the singing industry due to several foreign songs entering the country, the company decided to push her to act. And thanks to her fans' help, it boosted Gu Jiao's career as an actress.

Gu Jiao's agent, Albert Fang, was slightly worried that Gu Jiao's procrastination and complacent attitude would affect her acting career and that's why he hesitated to do as she told him to do.

However, Gu Jiao was determined and already entered the nanny van arranged by the company to receive her.

Albert Fang could only sigh and follow his artist. Anyway, the crew only needed to move their schedule for a few hours. There shouldn't be any problem.

...

It was just after 9 o'clock when Ran Xueyi arrived at the set.

It was still a bit too early, but the staff members were already doing their preparatory work to complete the set. A staff member who coincidentally passed by her saw her standing there and he couldn't help but ask her a few questions, fearing that the other was an unauthorized person and came to snoop around and spy.

"Who let you in?" The staff member inquired as soon as he stopped two feet away from her. He shot her an inquisitive look and the notion that the woman was a spy or fan of one of the actors increased when he saw her mask and cap on top of her head.

Ran Xueyi saw the work permit on the staff member's chest and politely said, "Hello, Brother. I came here to act as one of the actors in 'A Thousand Lotus'. My name is Ran Xueyi."

She pulled the 'Actor's ID' she received a few days ago and showed it to the staff member.

"Ran Xueyi?" The staff member read the name and saw the name of the role she would be playing and couldn't help but exclaim, "You're playing Jiao Yu?!"

Ran Xueyi nodded.

The staff member was astonished and frowned. The woman was playing the main role of the drama yet nobody sent someone to assist her. What was the crew doing? Are they deliberately making trouble on the first day?

"Okay, I got it." The staff member then introduced himself, "My name is Luo Huan, I am one of the producers in the drama. You can follow me to the meeting area."

Ran Xueyi didn't refuse his help and followed him.

However, her mind was pondering over this matter. From the way Producer Luo was acting just now, it seemed that he really didn't know her. She expected that there were still some people who knew her from her peak years. Still, she thought that it was natural that most have already forgotten about her existence.

Besides, the numbers of producers, directors, and crew members that come and go were too many to count. In the past six years, it would be weird if there were no new seedlings and people added in the industry.

But thinking of the way he frowned earlier, it seemed that someone was pulling some strings to make trouble on her first day.

As the producer of the drama, he had a lot of say in the shooting. He could add, delete, and throw out an actor anytime if they didn't meet his standards. So, a lot of actors and actresses he worked with during these few years he stayed in the country had been flying around him like bees and tried to pull on some favors from him.

Producer Luo continued to walk towards the meeting room while observing Ran Xueyi. She showed a calm expression this whole time and didn't say any words of praise to get more favor from him, completely different from the rest of artists he met previously.

This somehow pleased him a lot. He never liked these superfluous people who loved to gain favor and rely on others rather than depending on their talents and skills. These types of people disgusted him a lot, but he never mentioned this since this was common in the entertainment industry.

Thankfully, Ran Xueyi was not like others.

While thinking of this, Producer Luo remembered that Ran Xueyi came alone to the set with her suitcase without an assistant from the crew. This angered him a lot since this only meant that the crew was slacking and shirked from their responsibility.

It seems that he needed to talk with Director Zheng and some of the other staff members to get things straight.
