The director picked up the call fairly quickly. “Hello, Ms. Ouyang. What can I do for you?”

“Is the filming going smoothly? How is our little actress doing?” Ouyang Qing asked.

“She's been splendid. Absolutely fantastic!” he said excitedly.

Though Erbao did report in, the discerning director neglected to mention that she had actually left afterward.

The absence of the cast would prolong the shooting duration, and it would be in the interests of the investors, which included the likes of Ouyang Qing.

Nan Chen, however, was the one who held the biggest stake in the investment. So owing to the relationship between Nan Chen and Ning Ran, the director would willingly comply even if Ning Ran were to approve the hiatus.
