Chapter 19: Elite No. 1’s Underlings
The young lady was wearing a simple light-colored t-shirt paired with short jeans. She had slender and fair limbs. The cute cat on the t-shirt made the girl’s quiet little face look even more playful. Her long hair was tied up, and her smooth forehead uncovered by bangs was bright and pretty. There was a deep sense of familiarity!
His mother passed away after giving birth to his little sister. As the eldest son in the family, Lu Boran had spent the most time with his mother.
Of course, he was also the saddest child after his mother passed away.
Lu An’s face, which resembled his mother’s, was like a billowing wave from the past. The usually calm man almost wept!
His slender fingers immediately copied the photo and sent it to the group of five brothers.
“Elite No. 1’s Underlings” chat group.
No. 1: [What’s the situation?]
No. 1: [Little Sister is back?]
No. 1: [Why didn’t anyone tell me?]
It was a string of three questions. Compared with the perfunctory replies to their father, the younger brothers had already obediently picked up their phones and were mulling over the matter. In the end, it was still No. 3 who replied first.
No. 3: [Big Brother, it’s like this: Last night, Dad suddenly showed off in the group chat. He said that the little sister from that family came back, and he kept praising her for how good she is. Initially, we didn’t take it to heart, and thought that he was getting all hyped up by himself again. Unexpectedly…]
Third Brother actually also wanted to eat the beef noodles personally made by his little sister!
However, the little sister raised by a trash family…
Die, die!
Slender fingers lightly tapped on the photo of his little sister. He hesitated. He had wanted to blacken it, but he directly deleted it! Delete!
At that moment, No. 3 never thought of what he would one day do for a photo of his little sister…
Then, No. 4 and No. 5 also replied —
No. 4: [Maybe that little sister really is back?]
No. 5: [No way. I didn’t see any little sister when I went home to get the little cutie last night. *puzzled*]
No. 3: [@No. 5, who is the little cutie? Aren’t you in seclusion, doing something big?]
No. 5: [@No. 3, no, it’s Dad’s new pet dog. I snatched it away.]
No. 5: [Look, this is what it looks like. *proud*]
No. 5 took a photo of Little Tyrant Dragon and posted it.
The Little Tyrant Dragon in the photo was cute and proud. Its tail was facing the camera, like a little angry hamster.
Then, the topic went off-track.
No. 3: [This little guy is quite cute. I wonder if it’s easy to dissect it. *lick lips*]
No. 4: [@No. 5, don’t rub it bald. This kind of dog fur can be used for clothes. I can try it a bit. *strokes chin*]
No. 5: [Are all of you demons? *shock* *shock* *shock*]
No. 5 couldn’t understand it. He quickly protected his little cutie. He was afraid that if he didn’t pay attention, it would be caught and dismembered by his brothers.
A certain little cutie was still acting arrogant!
If you don’t treat me better, I’ll give you a tail for your photo. Hmph!
Forget it; since you still do care about me, I’ll show you a little favor.
A certain puppy turned around, and accidentally saw Lu Xingran’s phone screen. “!!!” Mommy, take me home!
In the end, it was still No. 1 who summed up things.
No. 1: [Forget it. It just so happens that shooting on a good drama will start soon in South City. I plan to take it. I’ll go back and meet this little sister tonight. Is there anything you want to say?]
As soon as he said that, the group of people who had been running away immediately came back together.
No. 3: [Big Brother is mighty! Big Brother is awesome! Big Brother has worked hard! *applause*]
No. 4: [Big Brother, you’ve worked hard! *tea*]
No. 5: [We must find out what her real face is like! *fist*]
No. 2, who had just read the messages, pondered for a moment, then said —
Chapter 20: The Biggest BUG In the Family
No.2: [A little sister raised by that family shouldn’t be underestimated. No matter what, it’ll be hard on Big Brother, especially when you have to think about Dad.]
No. 3, No. 4, No. 5: [Yes, yes, yes, yes. Dad is a huge BUG!]
The moment Second Brother said that, the brothers immediately felt the same!
Little did they know that the biggest BUG in the family wasn’t Dad, but was…
Big Brother!
No. 1: [Okay, got it.]
That was the only reply Big Brother gave. The corners of his lips curled up slightly; he was already fantasizing about it. The little sister who would make breakfast for her brother – how could she be mistreated?
Four idiots who couldn’t tell right from wrong. From now on, Little Sister would be his alone.
His alone!
Heh. Screenshot, evidence!
…
At the Lu residence.
After some explanation from Lu An, her father finally understood that her job was completely voluntary and had nothing to do with anyone.
Except for Grandpa, she didn’t like the Qi family at all.
This was the truth, and Father Lu couldn’t accuse them of personal grudges.
However, her father insisted on going with her personally to ensure that she wasn’t being deceived.
Lu An had no choice but to agree.
Just nice, she could hitch a ride. She was really too poor now.
…
Very quickly, Lu An arrived at the set of “Luo Mingshi.”
“Luo Mingshi” was a popular historical novel that had been adapted into a drama.
On the way over, her father stopped to buy her a cell phone, and registered a number for her.
Lu An increasingly felt that having a father was really good~
The girl looked at the pair of old leather shoes on her father’s feet with clear eyes. She held her father’s arm, and showed him around the production team.
She also explained, “My job is mainly to arrange for the actors to be notified of their scenes. Then, if we’re short of extras, I’ll look for more. If there aren’t enough props, I’ll look for props. Basically, it’s to coordinate with the director and assistant director’s work so that filming can proceed in a more organized manner.”
“Oh! Then what are the assistant director and director doing? Why is the hard work and heavy lifting left to you?”
Lu Xiao felt that this sounded very tiring and involved a lot of running around!
“Um, this… Dad, do you always do everything by yourself when you work, and not delegate to the people under you?”
His daughter’s big eyes were super pure and innocent.
Father Lu: “…” Delegating was one thing, but why did his daughter have to work under someone? She wasn’t that old!
Father Lu wasn’t very happy.
“Alright, Dad. I decided to do it because I like it. I’m willing to do it. I don’t think it’s bad at all.
“Don’t worry, alright?”
His daughter had a sweet face, and even blinked at him cutely. What could he say?
Forget it. Worst came to worst, he would become his daughter’s attendant from today onward. As long as she wanted to do something, he would run errands and let his daughter learn from him! Wasn’t that also learning from experience?
Father Lu had already thought it through.
However, he never expected that in the future, there would be countless people fighting for his job!
For example, when Lu An received her new phone just now and got her number, she immediately called her grandfather. Then, she contacted Ling Chuan, saying that she would return his phone and treat him to dinner.
When Ling Chuan asked her what she was doing, Lu An told him the truth, that she was at the filming site to get practical experience.
After that, Ling Chuan replied that if she needed anything, she could look for him anytime. Although he didn’t have much capability, he could still find a few extras for her.
This was totally saying that he would take care of all trivial matters for her.
Chapter 21: Little White Flower?
Of course Lu An would accept!
Although she felt that she had true capability, that was only in the other worlds. In real life, she didn’t have any connections at all. When she lived in the countryside before, she relied on the villagers who lived a little closer to her. But now, in this unfamiliar city and with a big drama production, who knew where she was going to find people once the director needed them!
It couldn’t be any better if her brother could help her out.
Worst came to worst, she would protect her brother more in the future and be her stupid brother’s brains~
As Boss Ling Chuan’s assistant in Beijing, Cong Hua, who also had many loyal fans, never thought that aside from helping his master handle matters, he would one day have to work as an extra.
That makeup…Sigh, I’ll cry if I say more! But… can I do it again?
Of course, this was all in the future.
At that moment, Lu An was still bringing her father around the production team of “Luo Mingshi” and familiarizing herself with the filming environment.
Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away.
A large group of people were gathered together and seemed to be arguing about something.
Lu An thought that the director was talking to the actors about the drama. There would usually be a lot of people around when that happened. It just so happened that she was looking for the director!
Puzzled, Lu An dragged her father forward.
A middle-aged man, who still looked very young and had some baby fat on his face, said with a gloomy expression, “But this scene has to be filmed eventually. Luo Mingshi grew up in the countryside, so her clothes should be stained with pig dung, black ash and the like. Already I haven’t gotten anyone to do that, and that’s not enough?”
Dressed in a plain white dress, a girl who looked like a fairy replied sweetly, “I think it’s possible!
“After all, for the sake of acting a good role, an actor should make sacrifices. But…”
The delicate-looking girl glanced slightly at the few tough assistants behind her, and her expression turned a little troubled as she said, “They said that my skin is prone to allergies. As long as I wear clothes made from this material, it’ll be fine even if I’m allergic, but if it affects filming progress because of this, then, then the gains won’t make up for the losses, so…”
The girl wrung her fingers together and looked at the middle-aged man pitifully.
The people around them began to point and discuss, feeling that the middle-aged man was being too harsh on this young lady.
The man became even more gloomy. “So, you can’t wear this?
“Must you wear your own personal clothes?
“Then why are you here for the role of a little girl who grew up in the countryside? Wouldn’t it be better if you just go back and be a young missy?”
Xiang Quqi was furious. What the heck was this?
He had finally found a good script and wanted to film a good drama. Suddenly, some lousy investor appeared out of nowhere and said that he could only use this girl as the female lead. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to work again in the industry!
Damn it to hell! Who do you think you are?
If I didn’t like this script…!
Xiang Quqi stood tall with his hands on his hips as he panted with rage. The more one looked at his baby-faced appearance, the more suspicious and unreliable he seemed.
At his words, the three assistants of the “delicate” female protagonist were instantly unhappy.
One of them stepped forward and retorted, “Director Xiang, that’s not something you can say, right?
“I know you’re doing this for the production team, but you also have to consider our Miss Keke, right?
“It’s just a matter of clothes; can’t you just make the clothes look a little dirty in post-production? Why does she absolutely have to wear clothes with pig manure on them? Don’t you know that our Miss Keke’s skin is allergic? In any case, the audience watching the drama won’t be able to smell it!”
