Chapter 167 Sudden Situation
Su Mo put down the spoon in his hand and touched his belly, "So satisfied."
"As long as you are satisfied." Lin Ying began to clean up the mess on the table. "You can go to the set after a rest."
Su Mo looked at Lin Ying's skilled movements, looking like a good family man, with a satisfied look on his face, "Well, are you going to the set today?"
"I don't have a show today, I'll have one tomorrow."
"Oh oh oh." Su Mo suddenly realized something, "No, you don't have any play today, how do you know my schedule today?"
"I asked Director Zhang for a copy of your schedule."
"you you you……"
Lin Ying chuckled, "Do you think you can hide this from Director Zhang? He's a veteran filmmaker."
Su Mo pouted, "Okay."
"I've packed the soy milk for you separately. I'll go back first." Lin Ying threw the garbage into the trash can and walked towards the door.
"Then I'll treat you to dinner tonight?" Su Mo suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Ying turned around and reminded with a smile: "Momo, you have a night show tonight."
"Uh, this..." Su Mo was a little embarrassed for a moment. How could he forget about his work tonight? This made him look so unprofessional.
"If you're hungry later, let's go get a midnight snack." Lin Ying took the initiative to help.
"Okay." Su Mo agreed immediately, his eyes smiling like a crescent moon.
Lin Ying suppressed the impulse in her heart, quickly opened the door and returned to her room.
Su Mo looked at Lin Ying's fleeing appearance and said to himself: "Why are you running so fast? I won't eat you."
Su Mo rested for a while, changed his clothes, and arrived at the set ten minutes earlier than expected.
Zhang Zhang saw Su Mo and waved to her happily, "Momo, good morning~"
"Good morning, Director Zhang. I'll go change my clothes first." Su Mo pointed to the lounge.
"Okay." Zhang Zhang nodded.
Before Su Mo entered the lounge, he heard children running and adults dissuading people from speaking. He frowned unconsciously and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Teacher Su, you're here." Makeup artist Huang Jie was a little nervous when she saw Su Mo coming. "I'm sorry, there's no one to take care of the child today, so I had to bring him to the crew. I promise it won't affect the work."
Su Mo glanced at the messy lounge and nodded helplessly, "Well, I'll go change clothes first." After saying that, he took the clothes and went into the locker room.
"Xiao Jie, stop making trouble. Mom is going to start working. Just sit here quietly."
"I won't!" Xiaojie said and ran out of the lounge.
Sister Huang originally wanted to chase him, but Ding Weiwei, the makeup artist assistant, tugged at Sister Huang's clothes and glanced in the direction of the dressing room, "Sister Huang, I'll help you get Xiaojie back."
Sister Huang glanced at the locker room and said gratefully, "Weiwei, thank you for your help."
"It's just a small matter." After saying that, Ding Weiwei chased in the direction where Xiaojie ran.
When Su Mo changed his clothes and came out, he found that Sister Huang was the only one left in the lounge. He asked curiously, "Sister Huang, where is your child?"
"The kid is so naughty. He ran out to play. Weiwei helped me chase him."
"Oh." Su Mo was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's business. He sat on the stool and said nothing.
Sister Huang packed up her tools and started to put makeup on Su Mo. When she was almost done, Ding Weiwei ran in in a hurry, "Sister Huang."
Su Mo looked in the mirror and saw that there was no sign of Sister Huang's child beside Ding Weiwei, and a bad feeling came over him.
"Weiwei, where is Xiaojie?" Sister Huang asked in surprise. Ding Weiwei had clearly gone to help her chase the child, so why did she come back alone?
"Sister Huang, something happened to Xiaojie."
"Ah." Sister Huang was so scared that the makeup brush in her hand fell to the ground. She quickly picked it up and apologized to Su Mo: "Miss Su, I'm sorry."
Su Mo waved his hand, "It's okay, there's still a little finishing touches, I'll do it myself, you go and see the child."
"Thank you, Miss Su." Sister Huang bowed, then quickly followed Ding Weiwei out the door.
Su Mo picked up the makeup brush and finished her makeup. Seeing that it was almost time, she left the lounge.
"What's going on? Why are there children on the set!" Zhang Zhang yelled angrily.
"This...makeup artist Sister Huang secretly brought the child here because no one was at home today." Wang Jie lowered his head and secretly cursed Sister Huang for causing trouble for him.
"What should we do now?" Zhang Zhang sat down on the stool with a frown.
"Director Zhang, what's wrong?" Su Mo walked closer and asked puzzledly.
"You say." Zhang Zhang said to Wang Jie unhappily.
"Ms. Huang's child beat up today's young actor. Now the young actor is crying and making a scene and refuses to start filming. The parent is also very angry and said...she wants to expose the crew for abusing the young actor."
Su Mo frowned, "Is it serious?"
Wang Jie shook his head. "It's not serious. It can't be considered a fight. It was just two kids fighting over a toy. Sister Huang's son used force and the little actor fell to the ground. The crew's accompanying medical staff have checked him out and there's nothing serious. But the child kept crying."
Su Mo suggested: "Why don't we take the child to a nearby hospital?" Although what Sister Huang's child did was wrong, it was normal for children to fight and play. It was a bit exaggerated for the parents to say that the crew abused the child actors. Su Mo was worried that they wanted to blackmail them.
"We also communicated with the parents, telling them that if they were worried they could go to the hospital and the expenses would be borne by the crew. But the parents refused to go and insisted that the crew give an explanation first." Wang Jie said helplessly.
Su Mo had a guess in his mind, "What explanation do they want?"
Wang Jie looked at Zhang Zhang, then at Su Mo, and said in embarrassment: "The parents said that the child had an accident on the set, and they want the crew to increase the child's pay, and also... they want to give the child more scenes."
"How did Sister Huang's child run over there? I remember our lounge is a bit far from theirs." Su Mo asked puzzled.
"I don't know either." Wang Jie said with a sad face.
"Where are Sister Huang and her child now?" Su Mo asked.
"Maybe in the lounge." Wang Jie was not sure.
Su Mo said to Zhang Zhang, "Director Zhang, we can't start the filming now. I'm going back to the lounge first."
Zhang Zhang waved his hand weakly, "Go ahead. I'll ask Wang Jie to come find you after everything is done." Then he turned to Wang Jie and said, "Ask Sister Huang to take the child to another place. Don't disturb Momo's rest."
Su Mo stopped him and said, "Teacher Wang, please go and deal with the young actor's matter first. I will take care of it here."
"Okay. Call me if you have anything." Zhang Zhang looked at Su Mo gratefully.
Before Su Mo entered the lounge, he heard Ding Weiwei and Sister Huang talking outside.
"Sister Huang, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't keep an eye on Xiaojie." Ding Weiwei said apologetically.
"How can I blame you for this? Alas, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought the child to the crew. I didn't expect that he would cause such a big disaster."
