"We will start with Liz first. Liz, Get ready." The director instructed.
Before Yuxi went to the set, Feng Xia patted her shoulder "Yuxi, Relax and just do it like you did yesterday. Little mistakes don't matter, but try to finish in one shot."
Upon hearing those words, Yuxi sneered quietly, still nodding her head as she went up to the set.
"And Action!!"
"Wait!"
"What happened, Liz? Do you need more time to get ready?" The director asked, seeing her looking bothered.
"I want to make a few alterations," Yuxi spoke as she approached the director.
"Changes?" Everyone was perplexed.
Liz began to explain the idea she had in mind. The director raised his brows as he kept listening to her words.
After she finished, he asked immediately "I get what you are trying to portray but are you sure? It's not a small change, it's a whole change in the concept. If you really like to change it, Go ahead but remember only a few shots. If I don't like it, I am going to intervene midway and you have to stick to the original one, got it?"
Yuxi nodded her head " Yeah, I will go with my concept. Thank you for your cooperation."
Heaving a sigh, the director called out a few staff and asked them to make changes in the set as per Yuxi's wish.
Knitting her brow, Feng Xia dashed towards Yuxi who was taking off her earrings and ring. " Yuxi, What are you doing? What changes do you want to make now? What did you discuss with the director?"
Without sparing her a glance, She replied " I don't wish to just stand there and pose like a model. I am aware that they deliberately made such a bland theme for me since they think I am a beginner."
"But you are, Yuxi? Can you stop talking like you are professional at this? You just started yesterday, remember?"
"Sis Feng, Have you ever heard of natural talent? Born-Genius? You never know what I may pull off. Now, Can you step aside? I have to finish this quickly." Yuxi walked away, while Feng Xia gritted her teeth.
'It was kind enough of the director to have her here. Now, If she messes up, she will get kicked out. How can someone be so arrogant? God, I don't even want to see it.'
Throwing her thoughts back in her mind, Feng Xia was about to go follow her when she heard her phone ringing.
It was the temporary manager she hired for Jenny. Receiving the call, the only thing she could hear was things shattering and the manager's scream.
"What the hell is happening over there?" inquired Feng Xia, hearing more shattering.
"Maam, Jenny is throwing a tantrum again." An anxious voice rang from the other side.
"Again? Why-" Realizing she was loud, Feng Xia hastily made her way to the private room.

"Tell me everything in detail."
"You know it's her that time of the month. So, she is super sensitive. On top of that, she found out that Liz has a collaborative ad project with Yang Jin today. She has been throwing things around mindlessly since then."
" I can't approach her. I already have a huge bump on my forehead. Sis Xia, Can you assign me another artist, please?" The manager requested. She could hear the despair in her voice.
'Here is Yuxi and there is spoiled rotten Jenny. How am I supposed to handle these brats?'
Shaking her head, she answered, " Pass the phone to her."
"But-"
"Do you want to stay in that situation forever?"
"N-No, I will right away...J-Jenny! Sis Xia wants to talk to you. Here."
Feng Xia could hear Jenny's furious response " You good-for-nothing manager, You called Sista Xia. Did I tell you to call her? *Smash* Get out of here."
Rubbing her glabella, Feng Xia asked the manager to do a video call and put on her speaker.
"Jenny! What the hell do you think you are doing? Weren't you supposed to be at the gym? Look at that mess. Stop throwing tantrums and behave."
As soon as she heard her voice, Jenny acted like the innocent victim. She voiced " Sista Xia, Are you on the set? Is there Brother Jin too? Can I see him?"
Black lines appeared on both of the manager's faces as they saw her changing so quickly.
"I am not on the set. I am in my apartment. I forgot something so I came to pick it up. If you want me to put good words in front of him, You shall behave. Do you want to forever act like a child? Well, it's sad since a man doesn't like these childish behaviours."
Jenny pondered for a moment before putting aside the vase she was going to throw. " You promise, right? You are going to put good words. And Sista Xia, I want to do some projects with him too. Pleaseeee~"
"I will think about it."
"Thank you."
After convincing her a few more times, she finally hung up the phone.
Looking at the time, Feng Xia flinched, she exclaimed " It's already over 15 minutes. Though I said I didn't want to see Yuxi acting but as her manager, I shall stay with her. I should hurry up."
When she returned back to the set, the shooting had already finished. The staff were working on another set. She looked around for Yuxi, only to find her coming towards her instead.
She looked disheartened, unlike her aloof personality. Feng Xia had a bad feeling coming from her heart.
" Sis Feng, I messed up." Yuxi voiced.
Feng Xia instantly wanted to chastise her, but she saw the director calling for her.
"Go to the dressing room. I will talk to the director.".
After seeing Yuxi leaving, she made her way to the director.
Hastily bowing, she apologized without even giving him time to react " I apologize instead of Liz. She is still a teenager, so she gets hyped up sometimes. I should've made sure she followed the original concept. Please, give her a chance. I promise, she will do better."
There was a long moment of silence before bewildered words came out of the director " Miss Feng Xia, What are you talking about? Why are you apologizing?"
"Huh? Didn't Liz mess up the shooting?" She was confused.
