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.

“Then, did she come in today?”

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.
