Chapter 123: Yu Jue’s Work
It was normal for a plane to arrive late. Even if the landing time on the flight information had passed, the three of them were not too anxious. Yu Yao was a little tired from waiting and ordered another cup of coffee.
Yu Heng had already figured out Yu Yao’s tastes and helped her add milk and sugar. Yu Yao boldly and confidently enjoyed Second Brother’s care.
As for her eldest brother, this workaholic actually took out his laptop and started working. The crowded airport cafe could not stop his will to work overtime.
Yu Yao was holding her phone and chatting with Yu Jue.
Yu Jue sent a string of tired emojis. “My work has already ended, and I’ve already bought a plane ticket to go home. The production team asked me to shoot a few more scenes, so I could only change my flight…”
Yu Yao consoled him perfunctorily, “Then just work hard. Quickly finish your work and you can go home early.”
Yu Jue sent a few more cat crying emojis. “But this director is obsessive. If he’s even the slightest bit dissatisfied with the scene, he’ll have to redo it. I’ve filmed it a few times, but the actresses who act with me can’t get into character.”
Yu Yao said coldly, “You don’t have a choice. Who asked you to have already accepted the money? Work hard. Otherwise, you let down the tens of millions of yuan the production team gave you.”
Yu Jue put down his phone helplessly. His manager, Sister Xu, saw his bitter expression and reminded him, “Don’t wear any negative emotions on your face. If anyone takes a picture of you, they’ll say that you’re acting arrogant.”
Yu Jue also knew that his public image had been on the verge of collapse recently. If he was not careful, he would break down. The previous case at the mental hospital was too deeply involved. Although the Yu family tried their best to cooperate with the police, their overall image had still been impacted.
As a public figure, Yu Jue received even more scrutiny. Several of his fan stations had been closed, and there were some discordant voices within his fan base.
Yu Jue collapsed lazily on the recliner and said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. Compared to the reputation of controlling public opinion to cover up crimes, being a diva is nothing.”
Sister Xu expected better from him. “But you can’t just give up. The female lead’s fans are quite crazy. If the photos at the scene get out and they say that you’re giving the female lead a hard time, won’t your reputation become even worse?”
Yu Jue shrugged. “Whatever. When the time comes, just release a statement that I had an argument with my sister. Just do whatever you want and cover it up.”
The female lead’s team had indeed taken photos of Yu Jue’s dark expression. They indeed wanted to use his reputation to hype things up, but after the filming ended, they no longer dared to use this publicity method.
Who could explain why? Yu Jue was clearly a rich second-generation heir with a net worth of billions. Why would he be cautious and work hard on a film that would earn him barely any money at all? There were so many cameras on site. Even if they wanted to promote Yu Jue’s act of being a diva, as long as the behind the scenes videos of him working hard were leaked, the rumors would collapse on their own.
The director was clearly satisfied with Yu Jue’s working attitude. After the shoot was completed, he intimately put his arm around Yu Jue’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Yu Jue, I know about the news from a while ago. It might be difficult for you now, but as long as you maintain your current working attitude, you will definitely shine in the entertainment industry. Trust me, I have never had a problem with my judgment of people!”
Yu Jue joked with the director casually. “I don’t have a choice. If I wasn’t professional, my sister wouldn’t have been nice to me at all. She always said that I would be letting down such a high salary if I didn’t work hard. Haha, she’s very unhappy with the trend in the entertainment industry…”
Regardless of whether the director wanted to hear about Yu Yao or not, Yu Jue felt quite good showing off his younger sister.
As he was gossiping with the director, his manager, Sister Xu, rushed over with a pale face.
Yu Jue was shocked. “Sister Xu, what happened?”
Sister Xu said with a trembling voice, “We just received news that an airplane had fallen into the sea. They’ve already sent out a helicopter to save it, but…”
