Chapter 402: Untitled
“I heard that the place belongs to the Count of Mount Louis. The Count is kind, and knows that many people would like to look around his beautiful palace, so he rents the palace out as a filming location.
“I also heard that the Count has a strange personality. Typically, only those who obtain his approval are qualified to use the place as a set.
“We clearly obtained the Count’s agreement before; perhaps there’s a reason why he has suddenly gone back on his word?”
“Why don’t we call him again to ask? How should we talk to him?”
As the person-in-charge spoke, he timidly made the suggestion, and was already about to call again.
“No!”
Lu An overruled him. “If you’re sure that you didn’t do anything wrong, and it’s just that this person is fickle, I advise you not to since he has rejected us already.” Otherwise, even if he agreed once more, she would rather not do the shoot!
There was no room for doubt in the young lady’s very serious expression.
“Er…”
The atmosphere froze.
The person-in-charge snuck a look at Fourth Brother, indicating that he should say something.
Fourth Brother paused for a moment, then said, “An, this is also the only way. We…”
“Fourth Brother, was it always like this before?”
Lu An’s gaze suddenly became a little complicated, and she said with a little heartache, “That’s right, it’s clearly someone else’s fault, and it has nothing to do with you. However, because you need help, no matter how despicable they are or how many times they go back on their word, you still give in unconditionally and compromise for the sake of the bigger picture. Was it like this?”
“This…”
Fourth Brother, Lu Sihao, suddenly fell silent. He didn’t know why his little sister was suddenly so emotional.
He comforted her softly in a deep voice. “Fourth Brother just wants the best for you.
“However, if you don’t like it, then we won’t do it. Or, we can find another venue, hm?”
A certain fourth brother tried his best to smile as he patted her little head affectionately.
“Mm.”
Lu An smiled and nodded.
She wasn’t the kind of person who wouldn’t beg others, but she absolutely wouldn’t condone this appalling manner, when an agreement had already been reached, but the other party went back on their word!
The person-in-charge and everyone else were dumbfounded. Not doing the shoot?
Or changing venues?
How was that possible?!
They had even confirmed the theme and everything, and they needed that luxurious palace!
The person-in-charge hurriedly wanted to say something, but then heard…
On the side, Little Sister asked them directly, “What kind of set do you need? If you don’t mind, I’ll build it for you overnight. As a director, I’m very good at constructing scenes. Even if it’s a mirage, I’ll build it for you. I guarantee it’ll satisfy you. What do you think?”
“No, you, you… build??”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Was she joking?
That was the palace of a descendant of the royal family. She didn’t even know what it looked like, but she would build it?
Ike was also in disbelief. Little Sister Lu was really confident. She wouldn’t fail, right?
There was no doubt in Little Sister Lu’s gaze as she said clearly, “What? You don’t believe me?
“Then, let’s try it first.
“Fourth Brother, help me buy some materials. Then, we’ll see if there are any slightly bigger spaces in the outskirts nearby.
“I can definitely create the scene you want. Without a doubt!”
The little girl was very confident and didn’t hesitate at all. At the same time, she stressed, “Also, even if you’re especially unhappy, there’s no way I’ll go and beg someone who has already broken our trust.
“Whether he’s a Count or even the celestial emperor, I won’t condone the despicable behavior of a person who breaks his word.”
If everyone was like him, how would innocent people continue living?
“Er…”
Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn’t expect this little girl to be so serious.
How had she survived until now?
Had she never broken her word to anyone before, or never needed to ask someone else for help?
“When all is said and done, he’s a Count. You should pay attention to your words.” She actually said that a Count was a despicable person. If any of the Count’s subordinates heard this, it would be… that, right?
Ike gave Little Sister a weak warning.
Little Sister Lu didn’t care at all. “Did I say anything wrong?” He had clearly agreed, but he suddenly went back on his word. Wasn’t he a despicable person? In particular, as a Count, didn’t he care about his reputation?
“This, this…”
Ike was at a loss for words. In the end, he couldn’t help but educate Little Sister. “No matter what, he’s a Count with a high position and power. He has the right to be unreasonable, unlike us commoners. No matter how well we do, we’re still commoners. How can we compare with him?”
“So, it’s fine to let him cancel agreements as he pleases, but we have to rush over when he’s already given us the cold shoulder?”
Little Sister Lu had a very puzzled expression on her face, which clearly said, “I was wrong about you.”
Little Ike was sad. He hurried to say something, but Little Sister Lu continued, “In any case, I don’t care if he’s a Count or whatever; I don’t need to care. It’s not like he’s someone whom we can’t do without. In any case, for me, the worst thing that can happen is that we don’t use it!
“If everyone is so eager to please and beg him, what will happen if he becomes spoiled?” Would he turn into a giant baby?
He wasn’t one of her brothers; why should she pander to him?
The young lady was utterly lost for words, and had a contemptuous expression on her face. Everyone on the side stared blankly. Then…
Somehow, they felt that she was so awesome!
She was so young, but so wise. Amazing!
However, it was usually difficult for such people to survive. Could she really build a palace scene on her own?
While the group was still discussing it, Fourth Brother had already instantly ordered people to buy the materials.
They were all things that his little sister often used. Because it was a huge project, Fourth Brother bought ten times the amount.
After all, he had followed his little sister during Evaluating Actors China before, and was familiar with her way of doing things.
Coincidentally, there was a large, open square nearby.
It had been used as a makeshift basketball court years ago, but was then abandoned because of its location. No one had cared for it until now, and it was overgrown with weeds, so renting the venue was relatively cheap.
It wasn’t even a fraction of how much the palace cost!
Although they weren’t short of money, anyone who had ever worked hard to earn money through their tears and sweat would be extremely happy to be able to save this sum of money!
They even bought a bunch of snacks and went straight to the square to set up a small tent as a rest area.
Little Sister Lu had already started working overnight.
