Luo Ying’s face became tense as well. What was going on?
She checked her rearview mirror and spotted the car. However, there was a layer of dark tint, so she could not see the driver.
“Let’s take a detour. I’ll shake them off at the next intersection,” Lu Zhao said in a deep voice.
They were already in the heart of the city. The lane was becoming congested, and it was difficult to get rid of a car that was following them.
“Alright.” Luo Ying agreed. She tried her hardest to remember the original plot, but she had no recollection of Lu Zhao being followed by a car or even being involved in a car accident during this time.
However, Luo Ying could only breathe deeply as she got ready for a fight or flight situation. She had completely changed the original plot. She was not sure what was going to happen.
To their surprise, the other party turned into a right-turn lane and quickly left Lu Zhao’s route, before Lu Zhao could think of a way to shake off the car.
“Gone?” As she watched the car get further and further away, Luo Ying exclaimed in surprise.
It’s probably just a coincidence that we’re headed in the same direction,” said
Lu Zhao casually. “I was too paranoid.’
His eyes showed no sign of relief, though. He didn’t believe it was a coincidence. It was more likely that the other party realized he had been exposed and stopped following him. However, he comforted Luo Ying because he didn’t want her to worry.
Luo Ying was skeptical. “Really? That’s quite a stretch to be a coincidence.”
She didn’t know much about the person who was following her, but she knew
Lu Zhao well enough. Lu Zhao would never go through such a case of mistaken Luo Ying was unable to say anything further for the time being, as the other party had taken the initiative to leave and Lu Zhao had stated that it was a mere coincidence. For the time being, she could only put it aside.
After a brief lapse in conversation, Lu Zhao steered the car back onto the correct route and raced back to Luo Ying’s studio.
Lu Zhao parked the car in the underground parking lot.
The moment Luo Ying pushed open the door of the passenger seat, he spoke.
“Don’t get too caught up in your work. Take good care of yourself.” Lu Zhao gently tilted his head and looked at Luo Ying. “If you need anything, you can find me.”
“Okay.” Luo Ying’s tone softened. “You, too, the poison in your body… Listen to
Wen Yu and be nice to her.”
Lu Zhao nodded. After watching Luo Ying turn around and enter the elevator, he made a call.
“Figure out a way to check the security cameras on Chaoyang Road between 9:10 and 9:20 this morning. Look for a silver-white BMW with the license plate
3754.”
Lu Zhao’s gentle expression vanished, and he reverted to the ruthless decisiveness he displayed while at work.
“Also, dispatch two more men to accompany Luo Ying and guard her.” For the time being, he couldn’t tell who the other party was after, so Lu Zhao was concerned.
Chi Tong was already in the studio, waiting for Luo Ying.
“Boss!” Chi Tong welcomed Luo Ying with a smile.
Luo Ying removed her hat and sunglasses as she walked. “Good morning, Chi Tong.”
“Morning, Boss. The team is in the meeting room.” Chi Tong answered as he led Luo Ying to the office.
Luo Ying nodded in satisfaction. Chi Tong was becoming increasingly skilled and efficient. Already, she saw glimmers of the seasoned manager from the source material..
While she was away for six months, Chi Tong managed the studio efficiently and even added new cast members. Now that Luo Ying was back in the country, she intended to take charge of the studio. That was the reason for the meeting this morning..
The meeting space in Luo Ying’s studio was designed in an open floor plan. The group sat in a loose circle.
“This is the makeup artist, Zhang Yue.” Chi Tong formally introduced the ponytailed girl to Luo Ying..
“Hello, Sister Luo Ying. Just call me Yueyue.” The young woman flashed a wary smile. She had been poached by Chi Tong from an unknown film crew. She initially dismissed the offer as a hoax after receiving it. Even though she was a complete unknown, Luo Ying’s studio had extended an invitation to her. “Hello, just call me Sister Ying. Relax, we’ll be working together on the shoot this afternoon.” Luo Ying replied with a bright smile.
She was familiar with Zhang Yue’s data. Her makeup skills were top-notch, despite the fact that she looked like a young woman who had recently graduated and been working in a small production team. She did the hair and makeup for a number of well-known actresses.
Chi Tong took note of her, and Luo Ying recalled that she won an award for Best Makeup and Styling Design for her work on one of Su Qi’s films.
“Cameraman Li Jiu and post-production Chen Yun, assistant Shen Xing, and…” Chi Tong continued to introduce the others to Luo Ying.
Luo Ying also greeted them individually.
This was Luo Ying’s first encounter with the other people. Although they were not in the original novel, Luo Ying had faith in Chi Tong’s abilities. Those who were chosen for the studio would undoubtedly meet their requirements. “Is Zhou Cheng not here today?” Luo Ying looked around but saw no one..
