Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 22: 022 So strong?

At this moment, the person in charge of the equestrian center finally ran over and said to the two, “Why did you bring out this horse? This new horse, it hasn’t been fully trained yet.”

The equestrian instructor was also puzzled, “When I went to get the horse, someone told me it was this one.”

The person in charge glanced at the horse and then at Shi Lan, asking, “Did you ride it?”

“Boss, I’ve tamed the horse for you.” The female tycoon smiled confidently.

“That strong?”

Shi Lan shrugged her shoulders and handed the reins to the boss.

Afterwards, Shi Lan took Sun Ling to Director Tang and said, “Director Tang, the person in charge of the equestrian center told me that the horse the production team prepared for me was not this one, this horse hasn’t been fully trained yet.”

Everyone knew what could happen if a novice rode an untrained horse.

After hearing Shi Lan’s words, Director Tang’s expression deepened. Both were shrewd, and such matters did not need to be pointed out by Shi Lan.

“I’ll speak to President Yan about this and have Huahai investigate,” Director Tang said.

Shi Lan looked towards Gu Chengyu’s direction and lifted her eyebrows, “Director Tang, this is serious.”

“You won’t suffer this grievance for nothing,” replied Director Tang seriously.

Shi Lan, satisfied with the answer, then walked towards the shade of the trees.

Gu Chengyu had already felt Shi Lan’s gaze. It wasn’t the usual adoration but rather probing, challenging, and even filled with deep disdain.

Did she notice?

Impossible. The matter had been carried out so covertly.

After the equestrian incident, the way the production team looked at Shi Lan changed a bit, as she had substance.

Plus, Shi Lan hadn’t given Chengyu a second glance all morning, while on the other hand, Chengyu was the one who would occasionally observe Shi Lan, leading some of the staff on set to start believing that Chengyu really intended to stop fawning over her.

Shi Lan’s equestrian prowess, in the eyes of many, was a visual treat.

When someone’s character is highlighted, that person starts to exude charm.

In fact, Director Tang was aware that most likely, nothing substantial would come out of the investigation, but such despicable tactics, due to the inability to find the perpetrator, could embolden the behavior.

A bit of petty scheming was one thing, but now that it touched on the safety of actors, Director Tang didn’t mind escalating the issue to notifying Huahai.

After Shi Lan left, Director Tang took the opportunity during a break to make a phone call, then took another call while waiting on set.

This call changed the filming schedule for Shi Lan and Gu Chengyu’s scenes.

Everyone had been waiting for Shi Lan and Gu Chengyu’s scene together, but Director Tang suddenly announced, “The script has changed, let’s shoot the solo scenes first.”

What does a script change mean?

Gu Chengyu was feeling conflicted.

But not having to act with Shi Lan was what he wished for. However, since Shi Lan joined the cast, his shooting had constantly been disrupted, the whole production crew adjusting because of her presence.

When Chengyu returned to Chen Beini’s side, he heard Chen Beini say, “Isn’t it a cause for celebration not having to act with her?”

“But we’ll have to act together sooner or later. It’s annoying. I don’t even know what kind of changes the script will have; I hope it doesn’t get more disgusting.”

The two vented within the production without any reservations; after all, these words would not leave the set.

The production team also got to know just how much Chengyu detested Shi Lan. At the same time, they privately hoped that the script changes would eliminate Fan Yan’s character. She was merely an empty vase. It was bad enough that she ruined things as the National Couple in real life, and in the drama, she was a malicious supporting character, truly difficult to like.

But she had already joined the crew, how could her character be deleted?

Upon hearing about the script changes, Shi Lan wasn’t too surprised; this meant the scriptwriter had taken her message from yesterday into consideration.

Gu Chengyu didn’t want to have romantic scenes with her.

So, she wasn’t disgusted?

Since Director Tang had called a halt, it meant that her hope for a character revision was possibly going to happen.

…

When Director Tang reached out to Yan Shixiu, he was in the middle of a meeting.

During the break, his assistant informed him of Shi Lan’s close encounter with danger.

To their surprise, Yan Shixiu immediately rose from his chair and rescheduled the meeting.

Although he knew Shi Lan was excellent at horseback riding, he still had his assistant prepare a car and headed straight to the filming location…
