The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 191 Not Surprised

Murong Yunxi was discussing the details of the shoot with the photographer when she overheard the conversation behind her. An easily-unnoticeable cold intent appeared in her eyes and she quickly ended the conversation with the photographer.

"Um, you're called Gill, right? My husband should be arriving soon, could you please pick him up at the door for me?"

Gu Yuxuan glanced at Murong Yunxi. At this moment, she was feeling extremely dizzy, accompanied by waves of headache. She was very unwell and did not have the energy to deal with Bella. She got up and went downstairs.

Murong Yunxi looked up and glanced at Gu Yuxuan's back view as she left. She then walked towards the dressing room. While pa.s.sing by Bella, she deliberately ordered in a cold tone, "Um, Bella, right?"

Hearing the Chairman calling out for her, Bella quickly got up and walked towards her with a smiling face. "Yes, Chairman Yun, I'm Bella."

"Could you please bring me a cup of coffee?"

Bella smiled and responded quickly and then left happily. It was a rare opportunity to have the chance to flatter the Chairman. No matter whether she liked this person or not, flattering first would do no harm.

The moment she stepped out of the door, Bella turned and glanced at Murong Yunxi in disgust, whining in a lowered voice, "What a big shot, we don't even know good she is!"

The coffee shop was not far away. After exiting, there was a coffee shop across the street that was not bad. In order to get on Murong Yunxi's good side, Bella painfully ordered the most expensive Kopi Luwah.

She handed the coffee to Murong Yunxi with a wide grin on her face. The makeup artist was doing Murong Yunxi's makeup. Murong Yunxi stretched out her hand to receive the coffee with her eyes closed. Just as she was about to grab hold of it, Bella had just let go of her hand and Murong Yunxi pretended to miss it. The coffee dropped onto the floor immediately.

The fragrant aroma dispersed into the air and the liquid splattered all over. Murong Yunxi immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, why did it drop?"

Bella's face fell a little. "Why didn't you grab hold of it?"

"I'm doing my makeup, I can't see that you've already let go."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll buy another cup!"

"Buy two instead, my husband should be arriving soon, buy him one too. How much is it? Let me give you the money!"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a cup of coffee."

"How can I let that happen! I'm making you buy coffee for me!"

Then, Murong Yunxi took out a few hundred dollar bills from her wallet and placed them on the dressing table. Bella already said that she would not take her money. After glancing at those bills, she was too shy to take them. She turned and walked out again.

Bella returned holding onto two cups of coffee. This time around, she placed them on the dressing table carefully and forced a smile. "Chairman Yun, coffee is here!"

Murong Yunxi gave a sweet smile and looked at Bella and said, "Thank you! You've worked hard!"

At this moment, Gu Yuxuan led Gong Yu into the room. Murong Yunxi looked towards them and walked up to them with a smile. "Hubby, you're here!"

Gong Yu was very surprised by her sudden enthusiasm. Murong Yunxi had always been shy and was very calm when outside. She would never take the initiative.

Murong Yunxi led him to the dressing table and sat down. She handed him a cup of coffee. "This was just bought."

Gong Yu did not like coffee and Murong Yunxi knew about it. Now that she deliberately handed him one, he instantly realized that there must be a story behind it.

Gong Yu took over the coffee calmly and took a sip. Although the coffee was very fragrant, to him it was unusually bitter. He lifted his brow slightly when the coffee smell pa.s.sed through his teeth.

Murong Yunxi exclaimed suddenly, "Oh no! I forgot that you don't like coffee, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You like tea! Seems like I'm still careless. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Murong Yunxi then quickly turned to look at Bella with an apologetic look.

Seeing Murong Yunxi looking at herself with that look, while she did not say anything, Bella was still able to get the hint. "Chairman Yun, what tea does Mr. Gong like? I'll go and buy it."

Murong Yunxi continued to look at Bella with some hesitation. "I'll feel bad, I've already troubled you twice. He likes Lushan Yunwu. It's not easy to order a takeaway, and the taste will change after you bring it back."

"It's okay, I'll get the tea leaves and brew it here."

Murong Yunxi still looked at her embarra.s.sed. "But it's quite hot outside, I feel bad for making you go on so many trips."

"It's okay, I'll go and buy it right now."

After finis.h.i.+ng her sentence, Bella ran out again.

Gong Yu's beautiful lips curled into a smile. "What did she do to trigger you?"

Murong Yunxi raised her brow and glanced at him with an indifferent look. "That's because some people are too free."

Gong Yu caressed her head gently and chuckled while looking at her dotingly. He made no more comments.

When Bella returned again, Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu were already halfway through the shoot. The photographer finished the set and looked at the pictures with beaming satisfaction. "Let's take a break first. Change up and prepare for the next set. This set is not bad."

Because Murong Yunxi once did a mother-daughter shoot with Niannian before, she seemed experienced and got into the right condition very quickly. And as for Gong Yu, he was very used to it already. The couple had great chemistry and the work went smoothly.

Seeing Murong Yunxi walked down, Bella quickly went up to her with a smile. "Chairman Yun, I've bought the tea and have already brewed it."

Bella served a cup of tea to Gong Yu and Murong Yunxi took it instead. She brought it to her nose and sniffed gently. She then raised her brow and exclaimed with a disgusted look, "The water is not right, the cup's not right too. You've ruined such a good tea."

Bella's face fell immediately. She had been running around outside all afternoon. Forget that it was above 30 degrees outside, Bella was already enraged at how hard it was to please Murong Yunxi.

"Chairman Yun, if you're not pleased with me, why not get someone else to do it! I'm clumsy and can't do things right," Bella contained the almost-erupting volcano in her heart and said nicely.

"Haha, someone else? I see that the rest are all busy, you're the one that's freer." Murong Yunxi's expression did not falter. Her voice was stern and clear.

Many people started looking towards their directions. They could hear Murong Yunxi's intention to stir up trouble in her tone.

Bella became the center of attention all of a sudden. The originally-contained anger erupted instantly.

"Chairman Yun, I would like to ask what I've done wrong for you to infer that I'm the freer one. All of us have our specific roles. Because of you, I have yet to start on my job!"

"Oh, really? But I only see you saying nonsense to others during working hours. Since you have the time to care about others' boyfriend, I think you must be really free! We hired you to come and work, not to spend your time doing other useless things. Since you can afford to gossip, why not make you go on errands? At least others can have som peace and quiet to focus on their job."

At that instant, Gu Yuxuan suddenly realized that Murong Yunxi had overheard what Bella said to her and was trying to even out for her.

Others did not know about this relations.h.i.+p between Murong Yunxi and Gu Yuxuan. They just thought that Murong Yunxi could not tolerate Bella's att.i.tude at work and was teaching her a lesson.

Bella's face flushed red immediately. Feeling embarra.s.sed, she looked at Murong Yunxi. "I'm sorry, Chairman Yun. I've made a mistake, I will not gossip anymore during working hours."

Murong Yunxi's face seemed to become more sullen. For the first time, she released a sense of oppression that radiated her power. "Xing Shang's criteria for choosing our people prioritize character, followed by work att.i.tude. Talent only comes in third. And as for you, I didn't see all three of those, so from today onwards, you no longer have to continue at Xing Shang."

Bella did not expect Murong Yunxi to be so direct. Her face fell immediately. Xing Shang had the best reputation in the industry. It was very difficult to get into Xing Shang. She had put in so much effort to squeeze through the doors, how could she be fired so easily! She was definitely going to keep the job.

Bella immediately stepped forward and grabbed hold of Murong Yunxi's arm. She pleaded pitifully, "Chairman Yun, I've always worked hard in Xing Shang. Can you give me one more chance? I will definitely not do it again. I will change, okay? Please give me one more chance."

Everyone was shocked to see how Murong Yunxi was so harsh and decisive towards Bella. Was she trying to be strict because she was newly-appointed?

All along, Fourth had been watching with a cold gaze from the side. He had witnessed the whole thing, from how she purposely made Bella's life difficult to her powerful statement at the end.

He must say that Murong Yunxi's decisiveness showcased her leaders.h.i.+p style. Although she was not as overbearing at Murong Ye, her punis.h.i.+ng one served as a reminder to others. This caused others to be more convinced and was not falling under absolute power.

Fourth narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze towards her was now colored with a layer of appreciation. He continued watching from the side quietly, waiting for her next move.

Murong Yunxi turned towards Chief Editor Susie and spoke in a cold, powerful tone, "Susie, show me her performance evaluations and achievements for the past year! I want to see it within 10 minutes."

Susie heard her and responded immediately, "Yes, Chairman Yun. I've brought my laptop with me, all of the information is inside. I'll show it to you right away."

When stepping out of the house, Susie still hesitated whether she should bring her laptop or not. After more hesitation, she brought it eventually. She did not expect it to come in handy.

She quickly turned on her laptop, retrieved all the information that Murong Yunxi requested and handed it to her respectfully.

Murong Yunxi took over the laptop and took a quick glance. Indeed, she was not surprised.

Bella started panicking. She saw Gu Yuxuan standing at aside from the corner of her eye. She knew deep down in her heart that she would not be saved today. In that case, she would definitely not spare the woman who made her lose her job.

Bella turned around and dashed towards Gu Yuxuan.
