Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 66 A Forgotten Gift (1)

Meng Chen glared at Jiang Ping, shooting daggers in his way, but her lips were upturned. While Jiang Ping looked back at her with a faint smile on his lips.

Seeing how the two main leads were getting along, the crew felt more comfortable towards each other.

"But we really should praise Sister Xueyi's good eyesight. If she didn't see this mistake, I don't know how the novel's fans will make us all pay," Meng Chen added.

Director Chi nodded his head deeply, agreeing with what she said and thought that Ran Xueyi was really their lucky star because they managed to avoid two major events from happening. First, Qin Ling didn't appear when everyone expected her to come to the studio, and second, the mistake in the angle.

Director Chi and some other producers followed Meng Chen and sang her praises.

Ran Xueyi waved her hands and said, "I only sat close to the monitor. Hence, I was able to see it clearly. Please don't overpraise me too much."

She had an ashamed look on her face, making people think that she wasn't pretentious or taking advantage of the situation.

The crew initially felt that Qin Ling was very suitable for the second lead role, but when they saw Ran Xueyi's not so overbearing and sincere personality, they realized that she was even more pleasing to the eyes. It was a good decision for them to replace Qin Ling with her! They exclaimed inwardly in their hearts.

Even Jiang Ping and Meng Chen, the two artists who played the main leads in the movie, thought that Ran Xueyi was very easy to get along with, and she was tactful too. If it were other people or actresses were in her place, being praised by everyone, they would definitely jump on the gun and think of how they could climb their way up to the top.

However, Ran Xueyi didn't seem to be like that.

The entire day of the filming, the two main leads stepped in and out of the camera's range. They shot a lot of scenes and managed to finally finish their schedule for today. The other leads and extras were also done.

On the other hand, as she was just there to go against Qin Ling to get the second female lead, Ran Xueyi couldn't act at all. It was not because she was being bullied. It was only because the princess role she would be playing would appear after today's scenes were done.

Initially, today was the day for her to fight for her role, but since Qin Ling didn't arrive, the test run for the act was canceled, and the role ended up with her. Now, her schedule will be full from tomorrow on.

Thinking about how busy she'd be while filming, Ran Xueyi suddenly missed Song Yu Han. What could he be doing right now? She wondered.

At this moment, Song Yu Han, whom she was thinking about, was sitting behind his office desk. His face was stern and cold as he glanced down at the document in his hands.

"Did grandfather already know what Mister Ma has been doing behind the back of the company?" asked Song Yu Han.

Special Assistant Guo shook his head and explained, "Mister Ma's matter was done secretly, and only until recently did I found out about this. The moment I realized that he was taking bribes from his relatives and friends, I reported everything to you."

Song Yu Han frowned. Mister Ma was a friend of his father and an executive in the Song family's company, ST Group. He used to be a trustworthy man who was praised even by Song Yu Han's grandfather, Old Patriarch Song. But the report that Song Yu Han was holding right now told him otherwise.

Did his grandfather really not know about this? What about the man who called himself his father?

"Should we send the report to the old chairman?" Special Assistant Guo asked.

Song Yu Han thought deeply about it before saying, "No, grandfather's birthday is about to come. I don't want him to spoil his mood over these insignificant matters."

Although his boss said it was an insignificant matter, Special Assistant Guo knew that it wasn't. Mister Ma took bribes from his relatives and friends for information about what ST Group was planning and their projects. Moreover, Mister Ma had been doing this for a few years now. What Special Assistant Guo feared was that the ST Group might do something foolish such as stealing a major project that they had been doing.

Forget it, since Song Yu Han already said that he wouldn't pursue the matter yet, then he won't make a move as well.

Special Assistant Guo turned his back and walked towards the door. He paused his steps and turned his body around, and asked, "Speaking of which, have you already thought of what you're going to give to the old chairman?"

Song Yu Han's hands paused as he was about to sign his name. He looked up at Special Assistant Guo and blinked.

"You haven't?" Seeing how Song Yu Han was acting, Special Assistant Guo knew what this could only mean. "Aren't you afraid that the old chairman will chase after you and stay with you day in and out after holding a grudge over you not giving him anything on his birthday?"

Song Yu Han put down the pen on the table; it rolled to the side of the table, and he put his hands under his chin. He was seriously thinking about it. "I know that, but I still don't have anything to give to him."

"Are you serious?!" Special Assistant Guo couldn't believe it. He was in disbelief that someone like Song Yu Han, who never forgot about his grandfather's birthday and would always reserve a gift a month before his grandfather's big day, actually didn't get anything this year.

Song Yu Han gave him a look that asked if he had ever messed around. Of course, Special Assistant Guo knew that his boss was not like that, but he was still shocked about this.
