Chapter 10
CHAPTER 10

From the moment Gao Anqi laid eyes on Han Xingyan, her heart pounded non-stop and she had already forgotten what had just happened . She only wanted to chase and stand in his shadow to feel close to him .

However, Han Xingyan’s voice shattered Gao Anqi’s fantasy, “General Manager Gao, what you had just said is not appropriate . It was my idea for Miss Shen to shoot this advertisement . The Han Group is not a company that spreads gossip so please remember your position . ”

Han Xingyan’s words were like daggers to Gao Anqi’s heart . This was the first time he had spoken to her about things unrelated to work and each word was a wound to her heart as if she had been placed within a cavity of ice .

When Han Xingyan finished, he walked away with Secretary Wang without heeding Gao Anqi’s answer .

Initially, he had not intended to be here at the film set but as a result, he witnessed a WTF scene . She was the crème de la crème* among his employees but who would have known this was her secret self . What’s the difference between her and a woman shouting abuse on the streets? He found this very unacceptable thus he asked Secretary Wang to call her out to warn her .

*TL-note: The best person or thing of a particular kind .

When Gao Anqi saw that Han Xingyan was about to leave, she held back the tears and walked forward to explain, “ Mr Han……”

She felt somewhat hopeful when she heard his footsteps stop and their distance shortened to the point she was able to vaguely smell the distinct cologne from his body . She presented her best expression and was about to speak when Han Xingyan cut her off .

“That’s right, remember to apologise to Miss Shen . ”

If those were daggers to the heart previously then right now her heart was utterly shattered . The sort of despair that crashed down from the clouds to the ground .

“Why should I apologise to her . She is only an actor . ” Gao Anqi was a sophisticated individual who had studied overseas and considered herself a White Bone Spirit* among the white-collar workers . She had her pride so why should she apologise to someone she looked down on? Keep dreaming!

*TL-note: White Bone Spirit (Baigujing) is a shapeshifting demoness, and in her true form she is depicted as a skeleton .

“Plus I don’t think I said anything wrong . ” There was no other choice but to admit that she had misjudged him as a man who also liked to toy with shallow actresses . It really was disappointing!

Han Xingyan finally turned around and looked straight at Gao Anqi with a cold expression, “The reason being you are still an employee of the Han Group . ”

Gao Anqi burst into tears at his words, “You can’t humiliate me like this . I am an outstanding student with a masters’ degree from an Ivy League University . Plus it was the Han Group who hired me at a high salary to get me here so you can’t do something like this . ”

Han Xingyan’s mouth twitched and was very suspicious of HR’s* judgement, “It doesn’t matter what your background is or how high your intellect is . I know that if one side did something wrong then they must apologise to the other side . This has nothing to do with who you are or who the other person is . ”

*TL-note: Human resources (HR) are the people who make up the workforce of an organization, business sector, or economy .

“I want to quit . ” Gao Anqi wiped her tears and said in a tense voice .

Han Xingyan felt he had spoken too much today and especially with these blockheads . It was a waste of time to even say a word more . In this world, there are so many talented people . Why had he found such an incompetent person for his company?

Thus he said a few final words, “Remember to apologise before you resign . You were an employee of the Han Group when it happened so you must follow the rules . It will be the same at the next company you go to . ”

When Gao Anqi heard this, she leaned onto the wall to stabilise herself and coldly stared at Han Xingyan’s back . She felt as if the temperature within her heart and the outside had both reached minus zero . The threat in his last sentence was evident .

The Han Group was ranked number one in the country hence if she wanted to continue to mingle within the circle then she had to do what was asked .

Han Xingyan passed the studio and saw the somewhat lonely rear view of Shen Chuchu resting on the table .

He thought back to the conversation he heard and spoke to Secretary Wang, “You wait here until General Manager Gao has apologised . Then speak to the legal team to let them know Miss Shen has been mistreated and add another two hundred thousand for compensation . There is no need to amend the contract, just transfer it directly into Miss Shen’s card . ”

Secretary Wang lowered his head with an unchanged expression and answered, “Okay, Boss . ”

Secretary Wang waited until Han Xingyan had left then glanced at Gao Anqi in the distance and instantly gave the legal department a call . In a moment, someone from the legal team rushed over .

At this moment, Gao Anqi had regained her spirit . She looked at Secretary Wang who was standing at the entrance and stepped into the studio without another word while the person from the legal department closely followed behind . Secretary Wang stood outside and watched because Shen Chuchu knew him .

Presently in the studio, everyone whispered to say they only need to wait for the higher ups since the incident had already been reported .

On the other side, the resting Shen Chuchu was asleep on the table after an early start . When the new assistant Wang Qian called her, she was still in a dream . Shen Chuchu fixed her appearance then looked at the expressionless Gao Anqi in front of her .

The reappeared Gao Anqi’s face was grey, unlike the arrogant female elite expression she had before as if she had been disturbed by something . She suddenly made up her mind, stooped down and bowed her head to speak, “Miss Shen, I’m sorry . I was wrong to say those things, please forgive me . ”

Shen Chuchu felt she could not understand the show while nobody dared to speak a word at the change of development . There were no more than thirty people in the studio and a phone vibration could be heard amidst the absence of sound .

“Please forgive me . ”

Shen Chuchu finally recovered when Gao Anqi repeated her words . She was not an unreasonable person and besides, she also did not have the nerve to break it off with the Han Group . Although she did not like this General Manager Gao, she still said, “It doesn’t matter . I just hope that you don’t speak like this from now on . ”

When Shen Chuchu finished, Gao Anqi raised her head, turned around and stiffly walked away . This was her most humiliating moment and to think that she had to apologise to a vulgar and uncultured actress . Gao Anqi looked at Secretary Wang by the door and coldly snorted, “Will Mr Han now be satisfied? You can report it to him now . ” Then she walked away without ever turning back .

Everyone in the studio watched as Gao Anqi left and understood Shen Chuchu had won this round . The individuals who had previously said some remarks all became speechless and wished they were at the back so Shen Chuchu would not see them .

While everyone was still anxious, the person from the legal team suddenly spoke up, “Hello Miss Shen, I am from the legal department of the Han Group . The higher-up in our company was made aware that you’ve been wronged therefore we will add another two hundred thousand for your compensation . Can I ask whether you would be happy to proceed with the shooting?”

Even without the stunned crowd beside her, Shen Chuchu was shocked by the Han Group’s gesture . Add two hundred thousand? She had already planned to continue the shot even with the original amount . After all, she was willing to overlook it since the troublemaker had already apologised .

She felt dizzy as if had been knocked down by the money and replied, “You don’t have to add that much money . Besides, I haven’t suffered much and General Manager Gao already apologised so I will continue the advertisement . ”

The person from the legal team continued to smile and replied, “It’s a must . This is a shortcoming on the Han Group’s part and the two hundred thousand is our compensation to you . Please write down your account number and we will transfer it there . ”

When Shen Chuchu realised their sincerity, she boldly agreed and retrieved her bag to give out her card .

The person took the card and smiled, “The money will be transferred to your account within half an hour . Please remember to check and good luck on your shoot . ”

Everyone barely recovered when the two big shots in the company left and now they all had a new impression of Shen Chuchu . Does this person really have some sort of relationship with the higher-ups? It was one thing to mock her but if it really was the higher-ups that are protecting her then they dared not say another word .

The director was the first to reach out amidst the awkward situation .

The effectiveness of the first shoot increased a lot . After some adjustments to the uncooperative limbs, she was now slowly able to control her own limbs .

At one o’clock in the afternoon, three hours after, the advertisement was finished . The first thing Shen Chuchu did was to check her phone and inconspicuously counted the number of zeros . Good, a total of five zeros . The Han Group is indeed a huge company .

This two hundred thousand was her psychological compensation and completely belonged to herself so not a bit will be involved in the company shares! In this instance, she had actually earned five hundred thousand through this one advertisement . It really is easy to make money when you are a celebrity! Her hope was once again rekindled .

After packing up her stuff and removing her make-up, Shen Chuchu left with the new assistant Wang Qian .
