How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 172 - 173: He Qun
Director Wang and Yu Xiaozhe, who happened to be passing by, were drawn in by the slightly raised volume of the two and pushed the door open to come in.
"Yo, which family’s middle schooler is this, how did he end up in our crew?"
The moment Director Wang laid his eyes on Ruan Xingwen, his eyes lit up.
This is definitely Yang Xiaotu! It’s like he walked right out of the script.
But considering Director Wang’s age and experience, he wouldn’t be dumbfounded by a mere appearance, and so he came back to his senses and teased.
Ruan Xingwen, who was already a bit shy from Zhang He and the other’s comments, was now completely flushed, especially under the X-ray-like gaze of the person next to Director Wang.
Zhang He and Director Wang were having a great chat, already discussing having a meal together after the shoot.
She glanced at the time and said:
"It’s about time, let’s go take the costume photos. Director Wang, do you want to come along?"
Ruan Xingwen thought Director Wang would definitely agree to the suggestion, but surprisingly, Director Wang refused.
He just saw Director Wang wave his hand,
"I’ll pass, there are things up front that this old man has to oversee personally, don’t worry, after seeing Ruan’s look, I’m confident there’s no problem!"
Ruan Xingwen embarrassedly scratched his head, he didn’t expect Director Wang to give him such high praise.
"Oh, don’t say that, don’t put my newbie on too high a pedestal, he’s still got a long way to go."
Director Wang gave Zhang He a knowing look, both seasoned insiders, naturally understanding the intent in each other’s words.
Zhang He simply didn’t want her praise to inflate Ruan Xingwen’s ego or cause unnecessary jealousy.
It seems, in Zhang He and Yu Xiaozhe’s eyes, this Ruan kid holds a special place.
Director Wang thoughtfully stroked his beard and left.
"Alright, let’s go too, Lisa, make sure to bring the touch-up kit, catch up quickly, we’re heading to the studio first."
"Got it, sis, I’m coming right away!"
On the way from the makeup room to the studio, the trio of Ruan Xingwen drew everyone’s attention.
Besides Zhang He, but the attention on Yu Xiaozhe and Ruan Xingwen these past few days was extremely high in everyone’s eyes.
Then she casually retorted:
"Tsk, what matching? Let me tell you, don’t talk nonsense, they’ve said they’re just good friends!"
The studio wasn’t far, and before long the three arrived, with Lisa running to catch up.
Everything inside the studio was already prepared, just waiting for them to arrive.
They had barely entered when a mocking voice came from inside the door.
"Ha, such a big deal, even a little nobody dares to make me wait!"
No need for others to say, Zhang He recognized that signature grating voice right away.
A person from Mingsheng Entertainment, the main photographer for this costume shoot—He Qun.
He wasn’t like his name suggests, not sociable at all.
Leaning on being a distant cousin of He Mingsheng, he not only acted tyrannically at Mingsheng but also put on airs in the crew.
Such a brainless person, Zhang He usually couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge him.
She was curious now, with Mingsheng in such a state, whether they could turn things around was uncertain, how could He Qun be so... clueless?
He Qun wanted to say something more in front of the small fry in the crew.
Yes, small fry.
In He Qun’s eyes, no one’s photography skills could compare to his, these helpers of his, were just a bunch of small fry.
A "small fry" tugged at his sleeve, trying to stop him from saying more nonsense.
Who knew He Qun would instead push him away, mocking:
"Are you blind?! Do you know how expensive this outfit is?! Can you afford to touch it?!"
Then he raised his right hand, intending to give this audacious small fry a slap.
Zhang He couldn’t just watch the commotion any longer and hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in, loudly saying:
"Yeah, I was wondering who it was, such a big temper. What, can He Mingsheng still cover up your messes?"
Not mentioning He Mingsheng was fine, but bringing him up made He Qun visibly angrier.
Yesterday, when he went to Mingsheng to find He Mingsheng, he was actually turned away!
His secretary even said, "Mr. He is on a business trip and is not in the office."
Bah, he saw He Mingsheng walk in himself, and they’re lying through their teeth!
In He Qun’s view, He Mingsheng is a coward, or else he wouldn’t be bullied by Yu Xiaozhe’s Huasheng like that!
He really is useless!
Thinking of this, He Qun adjusted his sleeves, assuming an air of superiority, lifted his chin, and arrogantly said:
"What? An entire studio waiting for a newbie who’s less than nobody, Zhang He, you have some nerve?"
But Zhang He didn’t pay him any mind at all, instead asking the staff member who had almost been hit just now,
"Come on, you tell me. Who’s paying your salary today?"
The staff member looked at the macho He Qun with crossed arms and then at the obviously kinder Zhang He, gritted his teeth, and spoke bravely:
"President Yu."
"What?!"
A sharp, piercing voice shot out of He Qun’s mouth.
The staff member gritted his teeth and repeated:
"It’s Yu Xiaozhe, Mr. Yu, President Yu!"

Can’t write anymore, want to finish, but still have half the plot left unfinished, feeling quite stuck.
