"You… what are you saying? Who the heck are you!?!" the director bellowed, glowering at her.
An Xiaoning removed her mask casually and answered, "Just a passerby."
The director's initial fury vanished without a trace upon the sight of her face. "Turns out… it's Ms. An. I was just kidding, I didn't bully her," he hurriedly explained himself.
"I'm not blind, I can tell whether or not you bullied her." An Xiaoning then asked Fang Erlan, "What role do you play in the drama?"
"I'm the eighth female supporting character," Fang Erlan said in surprise, well aware of who An Xiaoning was.
"Did you sign a contract with the production team?"
"No."
"Pack your belongings and come with me," An Xiaoning said calmly.
"Alright." It had never occurred to Fang Erlan that she would one day meet her greatest benefactor, An Xiaoning, in such a place.
Fang Erlan remained silent throughout the walk back to the hotel together with An Xiaoning.
