“Okay.” When Tao Huan called, the person on the other end of the line stammered. After a long time, he said, “There’s no problem. You can come on time.”
“That’s strange,” Tao Huan said. “What’s wrong with this person? He said that there’s no problem and asked us to come on time, but he didn’t say anything for a long time.”
“Get someone else to confirm it.” This was Qiao Weiyang’s habit. When she worked with others, she never liked to make them wait, so she would confirm the time very precisely.
Tao Huan had added the contact information of the third female lead’s assistant that day.
The other party replied quickly: [It’s ten in the morning. They changed the time. Don’t you know?]
[We just want to confirm it.] Tao Huan was also very smart. In order not to make others suspicious, she immediately replied.
She then found another person to confirm it. She was sure that it was ten in the morning.
“Sister Weiyang, the time has actually been changed to ten in the morning! Why didn’t anyone inform us?” Tao Huan was a little angry. “What’s wrong with the production team?”
“It might not be that the production team did something wrong. Perhaps someone doesn’t want us to go on time,” Qiao Weiyang said.
If she hadn’t seen Zhao Xinshu that day, she wouldn’t have said that.
However, that woman’s hostility that day was very obvious.
“Huh? The production team has signed you as the female lead. Why wouldn’t they want you to go? I heard from Mr. Lu that this production team is not the irresponsible kind,” Tao Huan said. “But if that’s the case, it’s really a little too much.”
Qiao Weiyang thought for a moment and said, “Get Lu Mingjue to give me Zhao Xinshu’s phone number.”
Tao Huan didn’t know why she wanted it, but she quickly got it.
Qiao Weiyang dialed Zhao Xinshu’s number.
Zhao Xinshu’s manager answered the call. When she picked it up and heard that it was Qiao Weiyang, she was a little surprised.
It was getting late. The manager said, “So, what can I do for you?”
“I want to confirm what time the event begins tomorrow,” Qiao Weiyang said bluntly.
Under Zhao Xinshu’s instructions, the manager changed the time of the event without letting Qiao Weiyang know so that she would be caught off guard. If she didn’t make it to the event on time tomorrow, she would leave a bad impression on the outside world. It would also make the media feel that she was acting like a big shot.
After this, she just had to push the blame to the organizers and pretend that she did not know anything.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Weiyang called her personally.
She quickly covered the microphone and asked Zhao Xinshu what to do.
Zhao Xinshu was caught off guard and said, “Just deal with it casually.”
“Oh, it’s still the same,” the manager said into the phone.
“Then let me confirm. It’s the time that my manager was informed of previously—three in the afternoon, right?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“Yes, yes.”
“I understand,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly. “Thank you.”
After saying that, she hung up.
The manager said to Zhao Xinshu, “Xinshu, isn’t this too much?”
“Don’t worry. There are so many people. It’s inevitable that some won’t be informed. What’s there to worry about? Alright, quickly prepare for tomorrow’s event. It’s getting late.”
After Qiao Weiyang hung up, she said to Tao Huan, “Prepare according to three o’clock tomorrow.”
“Did they say ten o’clock?” Tao Huan asked.
“Let’s do as Zhao Xinshu’s manager says. Zhao Xinshu is considered half an investor in the show. Do we dare to disobey her? Think about it. This is the production’s first event, yet she dares to change the time. If I really show up to the event on time, she’ll do this for the second and third time. I won’t go this time. I want to see how she’ll smooth things over,” Qiao Weiyang said.
Tao Huan understood and immediately nodded.
Such people should be taught a lesson.
The next morning, Qiao Weiyang got up.
After exercising, she took a shower and took a cropped photo of half of her schedule. She posted it on Weibo with the caption: [It’s rare for me to have a break in the morning today. I can accompany my family. See you in the afternoon.]
After posting on Weibo, she turned off her phone and gestured for Tao Huan and Lu Mingjue to turn off their phones too.
Before Tao Huan turned off her phone, she posted on Weibo: [Thank you for helping me confirm the time. I can rest in the morning.]
She even tagged Zhao Xinshu’s manager.
After that, the three of them could not be reached through their phones anymore.
Qiao Weiyang changed into her home clothes and walked downstairs.
Su Zhuoqian was reading the financial news. When he saw her, he said in surprise, “Didn’t you say that you had work today?”
“Someone deliberately wants me to show up later, so I postponed it.” She briefly explained Zhao Xinshu’s matter.
When Su Zhuoqian heard this, he shook his head secretly at Zhao Xinshu’s private actions.
He said, “Okay, then stay at home with me this morning. Coincidentally, I don’t have to go to the company.”
Qiao Weiyang shook her cell phone. “My cell phone is turned off. I can accompany you.”
Su Zhuoqian pulled her to sit beside him and pulled her into his arms.
As Qiao Weiyang had posted on Weibo, many people saw that her schedule started at three o’clock.
However, the entire production team had actually received the news of the change in time.
Therefore, some people kindly left Qiao Weiyang a message or looked for her on WeChat, but there was no reply.
They couldn’t get through to her.
At almost ten o’clock in the morning, the event was in the final preparation stage. Everyone entered the venue one after another.
The producer didn’t see Qiao Weiyang and was very anxious. “Where’s Qiao Weiyang?”
“I’ve called her, but her phone is turned off. Her entire team can’t be contacted,” the assistant said.
“Why is she fumbling the ball at the critical moment? What’s going on?” The producer was a little angry.
“I don’t think it’s her fault. She probably didn’t rush over because she didn’t receive any new notice. Even if we can call her now, she might not be able to come immediately. She still has to get dressed.”
“Who’s the person who was responsible for informing her?” the producer said angrily.
The assistant said weakly, “We might have to ask the investors about that.”
As Qiao Weiyang didn’t come, the media reporters were also very disappointed. Fortunately, the producer and director were good at talking. The entire scene was still very lively.
It was not rare for the main lead not to come. Gradually, the atmosphere became normal.
However, it did affect Qiao Weiyang a little.
The reporters didn’t say it, but when they reported the news, they seemed to relay that Qiao Weiyang was acting like a big shot.
The trending topic of #Qiao Weiyang Acting Like A Big Diva# quickly rose to the top.
