BXBX NOVEL Chapter 119: Because She is a Desperate Loser
“Right, I’ll be bringing a few friends with me as well, so remember to prepare a few extra seats. I love Kiffery’s afternoon tea, and the black tea needs to be strong, with two sugar cubes added. Remember, it has to be two Schonruh sugar cubes, I’m allergic to any other kind!” she rattled off a list of demands, playing with her rhinestone-studded nails, and looked down her nose at Chi Enen and Qin Nan, “Did you both get that? Don’t get it wrong. If you do, I won’t record.”
Qin Nan’s face was ashen, and she was about to snap back with ‘record or not, I don’t care’. Quick as a flash, Chi Enen pulled her back and kept her face expressionless, “Big Boss should have remembered.”
She endured!
A moment of patience may save a great disaster!
Take a step back to the boundless sea and sky!
After all, it’s just for one episode, not a lifetime. She could endure a little, considering the guest was the new Boss’s darling, while she was just a humble grunt waiting for her next paycheck.
Fatty Fish wouldn’t miss an opportunity to brown-nose, immediately pledging his loyalty, “Miss Xie, don’t worry, I’ll make sure everything is arranged properly. There will be no mistakes.”
He continued doling out compliments and finally coaxed Xie Tingling into leaving…
Once the two had left, Qin Nan slammed her mug onto the table, cursing, “That’s too much! Does she think she is here on vacation? Only wanting Kiffery’s afternoon tea and Schonruh sugar cubes! One store is in Chengnan and the other in Chengbei, and just driving there takes two hours. Lucky she drinks black tea, what if she had requested drinks? Would she expect us to go to the North Pole to fetch her some pure glacier water?”
“She’s just a mistress, yet behaving like some sort of princess!”
The office was bustling and noisy, so Chi Enen quickly stopped Qin Nan from going on, whispering to comfort her, “Let it go, Sister Nan. After all, we’re only recording one episode, and we don’t have to see her every day. Just think about the salary, think about Brother Wang. Let’s endure it.”
Qin Nan had just let her temper flare at first, but soon she came to her senses in the workplace. If she kept up her tirade, she might very well be out of a job.
The Screenwriter Director’s job was relatively easy and well-paid; losing it over a fleeting rage wasn’t worth it. Moreover, she and her boyfriend had already set a date to get married, and after the wedding, there would be talk of raising children. Money would be needed everywhere. Losing her job at such a time would definitely result in complaints from her future mother-in-law.
She understood all of this intellectually, but she still felt utterly frustrated. She was in no mood to chat with Chi Enen and headed back to her desk with her mug…
Chi Enen turned on her computer and sighed helplessly. To say she wasn’t angry would be a lie; she was definitely upset. In fact, she was angrier than Qin Nan, considering she and Qin Nan had worked hard to build the show from scratch. Suddenly having someone step in and meddle was irritating, to say the least. But there was no choice; such was the reality of society, not an idol drama. When strong power bore down, you had to bow to it. But she could endure because it was just for one episode. If it were long-term, she would definitely be the first to object!
Chi Enen calmed herself down, opened the stack of ‘requirements’ Xie Tingting had thrown at her, and started going through them. As she browsed, she jotted down the witty lines and mini-games she thought of on the document…
These tasks were usually Qin Nan’s, but this time Sister Nan was so angry and obviously not in the mood, so Chi Enen had to take over… Since she was to do it, she was determined to do it to the best of her ability!
