1 Year Of Beginning

Zhang Ai had her own personal driver. Though, she rarely used him and preferred to drive on her own. However, Feng Mian swore that she didn't want to enter the car Zhang Ai drove again in the future. She felt scared.

"That's satisfying!" Zhang Ai said happily when she managed to pass the intersection at high speed again. The traffic light was turning to yellow, but she instead stepped on the pedal. The car rushed forward, passing the intersection before it could turn red.

Feng Mian was speechless. She held on the side while praying internally.

If I can get out of this car safely, I won't enter it ever again.

Once is already more than enough.

Zhang Ai drove the car at high speed, nearly crossing the speed limit. Eventually, they arrived in the studio Zhang Liang mentioned. The location was not that far from the residence, but the past few minutes, Feng Mian felt like her soul was flying out of her body a few times.

"How's it?"

"Who taught you how to drive, Zhang Ai?"

"Daddy did." Zhang Ai unseated her seatbelt with a grin. "He loved to race the car when he was young, so he taught me a bit of the trick. Unfortunately, he didn't allow me to participate in the race on the street. I have been wanting to participate."

Feng Mian: "…" it's good that you don't. I'm not sure when you'll end up in the hospital with your way of reckless driving.

"Let's go."

"Do you know the way?"

"Yes! I have been coming here a few times to shoot advertis.e.m.e.nts. Liang Ge didn't want me to come to their studio because he felt that some are too untrustworthy."

Feng Mian nodded. Even though it was fairly safe since Zhang Ai could do martial art, it would be better to be safe than sorry. Zhang Ai's figure could easily make her the target for many people who were aiming for young women. After all, she didn't get the offer to become a model numerous times for nothing.

The two women entered the building. Zhang Ai led Feng Mian all the way to the fifth floor.

Ding! Prang!

'How familiar….'

Feng Mian wanted to cry when she heard the sound of something breaking. This made her remember the scene when she accidentally saw Zhang Liang in an embarrassing situation. If it was possible, she wanted to erase that moment from her memory forever.

Zhang Ai frowned. As soon as the lift was open, she strode inside with Feng Mian followed behind her. She could see that the staff were busy cleaning up broken pieces of glass that was thrown to the floor.

"What's happening here?" Zhang Ai asked, her tone was cold.

The staff were stunned. They turned their heads and saw Zhang Ai with solemn expression. Instantly, they could sense their heart fell to the bottom abyss. Zhang Ai was the most amiable person in the Zhang Family, but it didn't mean that she was never angry. When she was displeased by something and got angry, it meant that they have crossed the line.

A woman with heavy makeup stood up. She looked at Zhang Ai with a sneer on her face. "You're calling this cheap place studio? Do you really think that I can't afford a better place rather than this small room?"

Small?

Feng Mian was speechless. The size of this room alone was more than enough to hold a thousand's people inside. If anything, this was truly a big room where they could shoot a variety of videos with several backgrounds. All they needed to do was to change the picture and the furniture in front of it.

Zhang Ai crossed her arm. "Who are you?"

"Miss, she's Su Nian, one of the famous models from Su Family."

"Su Family again?" Zhang Ai recalled that the one who created trouble with Feng Mian back then was also someone from Su Family. She shook her head and pointed to the door. "You can get out."

"Hah, you think that it's that easy to kick me out? Who do you think you are? I'm hired by Beauty Design for their advertis.e.m.e.nt, so you can't give me order of what I can or can't…"

"If you don't get out this instant, I'll make sure that Grandpa Su would disown you in a week's time," Zhang Ai threatened.

This time, Su Nian froze in her words. She looked at Zhang Ai with disbelief. She was among those of the successful models in Su Family. Due to their gene, many of the women ended up becoming a model for their main career when they grew up. It was not that hard because they only needed to pose and make sure the camera could catch their beauty.

Of course, there was also a lot of training needed. After all, not everyone has the same sense of camera's location. They would need to practice to make sure that the view to the camera was the best.

Zhang Ai looked at Su Nian. "You're just a model hired to do a work. If you can't do your work well, do you expect us to cater your every demand as if you're the boss?"

"Beauty Design…"

"They can go to hell if they're still insisting on using someone like you." Zhang Ai turned her head to look at the young man. He must be the actor that they set up to play the male's part. "What happened here?"

"We…" the man hesitated a bit. He bit his lips and decided to continue. "The script is so wrong. It doesn't fit with the theme at all."

Zhang Ai arched her eyebrows. She believed that it must be a good script since her brother was the one who arranged it. Her eyes scanned the staff as she stretched out her hand. "Bring me the script."

"Miss, here."

Taking the book to her hand, Zhang Ai began to read the content. It was a simple advertis.e.m.e.nt where the man would hand over the white chocolate to the woman. However, the way it was handed was quite interesting because the couple would end up eating the biscuit together.

Her heart felt pained when she read the scene.

'Liang Ge scammed me again! He must have known that the scene involved eating the biscuit. Ugh, I hate you, Liang Ge.'

While Zhang Ai was cursing her brother many times in her heart, she kept a stoic expression. Looking at the two people in front of her, she arched her eyebrows. "So, what's wrong with the script? It's a normally written confession and also eating biscuit together."

"It's because it's so ordinary that we can't stand it! Also, it's so cringe! There's no way there would be a couple who do that in real life!" Su Nian nearly yelled. She hated when she heard that they have to be so close and ate the biscuit together. Even though it was just an act, she didn't want to eat the biscuit for real like that.

Zhang Ai was amused. "Su Nian, you're an actress. Even if you don't like it, your words are worth nothing if you still want to be in this field. What? Don't tell me that you're allergic to white chocolate because I know for sure that you're not. If you don't want to shoot the ad, get out."

"You can't order me around!"

"Why not?"

"Because I'm not hired by you, I'm hired by….!"

Ding!

"You're not welcomed here," Zhang Liang said as he entered the room. His cold gaze looked at the woman in front of him. "I have already talked to Old Wei. He'll be taking care of the mess here."

Zhang Ai arched her eyebrows. "What are you doing here, Liang Ge?"

"Me? I'm inspecting the work. If I just leave it to you, you might end up punching her and send her to the hospital for real."

"Oh right," Zhang Ai was already clenching her fist, ready to slam it to the woman named Su Nian. Unfortunately, they were quite a distance away, so she was unable to do anything yet.

Well, she would have a chance in the future.

Liang Ge?

Su Nian stared at the two of them for a moment before she realized who she had been talking to. The woman she had been yelling at was none other than Zhang Ai, the sister of Zhang Liang. Recently, Zhang Ai has been entering the entertainment industry. Even though she was not famous yet, many already came to a tacit agreement to not offend her.

The Zhang Family behind her was something that they could never offend.

"No, this is a…"

"You can get out." Zhang Liang swiped his glance to the male actor. He could see that his hand was wet, probably it was the result of throwing the glass to the floor and the content spill to his hand. "And you too."

"But…"

"I can take care of the advertis.e.m.e.nt. We don't need you two. If Beauty Design asked, you can say that you two won't be welcomed by Zhang Family in every industry we owned."

Every word Zhang Liang said was like a hammer coming down to their heart rapidly. There was nothing they could do but to obey what Zhang Liang said. Even though they wanted to refute, there were already a group of security men coming inside, ready to take them out if it was necessary.

Feng Mian was at the back, listening to everything as a bystander. Even though she's Zhang Liang's wife, she knew that she didn't have the right to act like they did. They were the one who directed the advertis.e.m.e.nt, which meant that their words have weight.

'Again and again, I'm always reminded of this huge gap between us.'
