Chapter 58 Major Misunderstanding

Right then, a young woman walked into the house and asked, "May I know if Ms. Shanshan who's filming today is ready to leave?"

When Situ Qingshan turned around, she spotted the young woman standing alone by the doorway.

「Shan Shan?

She must be calling Xia.

I knew it. She doesn't need so many people just for commercial shooting.」

Amused, she turned to Mu Xia and crowed, "Do you see her, Xia? She's the one who's picking you up for your shooting. It seems like this is a major misunderstanding."

However, in the next second, the young woman said, "Ms. Situ, is there a misunderstanding? I'm here to pick you up for the filming."

The young woman had recognized Situ Qingshan.

At that very moment, something exploded in Situ Qingshan's mind.

She stared at the young woman in disbelief before turning to look at the dozens of people in the living room.

「They're really all here to pick Xia up for a commercial shooting?

It's just a commercial. Does she really need a crowd to take her there?」

With a smile that did not quite reach her eyes, Mu Xia walked toward Situ Qingshan and muttered, "Qingshan, a major misunderstanding indeed. Hurry along for your filming. Don't let the film crew all wait for you. I'll go for my shooting too."

With that said, she nodded at the group behind her before walking out of the house.

Promptly, the group followed her after a simultaneous respectful nod.

The anger that rose in Situ Qingshan's chest made her shake.

「bitch. A shameless bitch!」

Mu Xia's shooting was located in Kyoto's largest Midnight Coffee Café shop. The shop had yet to have its official opening, but the renovations were all completed.

When Mu Xia arrived at the scene, the others were all ready for the shooting.

After all, the higher-ups had told them to take good care of the ambassador as the CEO valued her greatly.

Therefore, everyone treated her well.

However, there are always outliers.

"Is the ambassador here yet?" came a stern female voice.

When Mu Xia looked over, she spotted a solemn woman walking over with a darkened expression.

Immediately, Mu Xia's temporary personal assistant introduced, "Ms. Mu, she's Xiao Wei Sangqi, the person in charge of our shooting. She used to be an secretary to the CEO, and she's now in charge of the promotions of Midnight Coffee Café. With her around, I'm sure the shooting would be smooth sailing."

Mu Xia nodded and reached her hand out to Xiao Wei Sangqi. "Hello, Ms. Sangqi. I'm Xia, but you can call me Shan Shan. I look forward to working with you."

However, instead of reaching out to shake her hand, Xiao Wei Sangqi folded her arms and questioned, "Do you know what time our shooting is at?"

Mu Xia froze for a millisecond before replying, "Eight."

"So it seems like you do know what time it's meant to start." Xiao Wei Sangqi then pointed at her watch. "It's already ten after eight. We're heading out for outdoor shooting as well, and the rental is calculated per minute. Do you know how much you have wasted?"

Xiao Wei Sangqi made it seem as if she was being professional, but she actually despised Mu Xia.

If not for Mu Xia, she would not have been transferred from the CEO's office to become in charge of a trivial shooting.

Moreover, she had taken everything to avoid getting dismissed from the company; she had pulled all of her strings to remain in Ye Group.

「This is all Mu Xia's fault. Therefore, even if Mu Xia made a minor mistake, she would never let her off easy.」

Mu Xia sensed hostility radiating off the other woman.

However, this was the first time she had seen Xiao Wei Sangqi, so Mu Xia could not understand why the other seemed to hold a grudge against her.

「Am I overthinking this?」
