Chapter 807 Director Ning's Suspicion

"I find you pleasing to the eye," Huo Sinian replied perfunctorily. "I want you to come back and be my Mrs. Huo."

Lin Tan looked away, her mind filled with too many thoughts that made her feel unwell: "Didn't we say we'd be strangers?"

Huo Sinian: "Hmm."

Lin Tan glanced sideways.

Huo Sinian looked at her: "Now the stranger game is over, and the new game begins."

A slight sneer appeared on Lin Tan's lips.

game.

What could affect her future and career was just a game he played out of a perverse sense of humor.

Then along the way.

The two of them remained silent.

Xiao Feng called when we were almost at the hotel.

Lin Tan glanced at the screen and answered the call: "Xiao Feng."

"Sister Lin Tan, aren't you in your room?" Xiao Feng stood at her door. "I brought you dinner up."

Lin Tan: "I'll be there right away."

Xiao Feng sensed that something was off about her mood, but didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded: "Okay."

A few minutes later.

Lin Tan got out of the car and went back to her room.

Huo Sinian followed beside her, carrying her medicine.

Lin Tan considered taking it herself, but Huo Sinian refused. Unable to win the argument, she didn't say anything more.

"Sister Lin Tan." Xiao Feng greeted her with dinner in hand. When she saw Lin Tan's arm in a sling, her brow furrowed, and she asked with concern, "What happened to you?"

"It's nothing," Lin Tan said in a low, hoarse voice.

Xiao Feng was about to speak.

Then Huo Sinian walked over.

He handed her the medicine, his expression somewhat distant: "Remember to make sure Lin Tan takes her medicine."

Xiao Feng was even more confused.

What exactly happened?

how……

"Let's go in." Lin Tan took out her room key and opened the door.

The moment her hand touched the doorknob, she remembered Huo Sinian, who had been in her room before.

She didn't ask anything and went inside.

As the door closed, Huo Sinian left.

"How did you hurt your arm?" Xiao Feng could tell from her arm being in a sling that it was quite serious, otherwise there would be no need for immobilization. "Is it serious? How did you hurt it? What did the doctor say?"

Lin Tan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She didn't know what to say.

I didn't even have the courage to tell her that she might be kicked out by Director Ning soon.

If it were just personal work, she could recover and work overtime to finish it, but filming is a project that involves a crew and working with other actors.

"Sister Lin Tan?" Xiao Feng called out to her.

"It's nothing, the doctor said I just need to rest for a month," Lin Tan told her the truth.

Xiao Feng: "Then I'll go ask Director Ning for leave."

Lin Tan looked at her.

Realizing that Xiao Feng probably had no experience in the entertainment industry, she mistook this place for Qin Mo's.

"Is a month enough?" Xiao Feng looked at her worriedly. "Should we ask for another half month? After all, it takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury."

Lin Tan was about to speak.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Lin Tanxin's heart tightened involuntarily.

Xiao Feng immediately went to open the door and was somewhat surprised to see that it was Director Ning's assistant.

"Director Ning wants to see Ms. Lin Tan in the conference room," Director Ning's assistant said. "There's something important to discuss."

Xiao Feng immediately relayed these words.

Lin Tan's first reaction was that Director Ning knew.

She composed herself, stood up, and went to the conference room.

Two minutes later.

The group met in the conference room.

Looking at Lin Tan's sling arm, Director Ning feigned a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Your hand..."

"I just tripped and fell, but it's nothing serious. I can film as usual tomorrow," Lin Tan said. "What can I do for you?"

Perhaps it's because they're afraid of losing their jobs.

Or perhaps they were afraid of disappointing Director Ning, Qin Mo, and the boss.

She decided to take the risk anyway, since there were no action scenes recently and most of them didn't require much movement or exertion.

She doesn't feel much pain right now; she should be able to bear it.

"Something came up on my end and I'm going to have to put things on hold," Director Ning told her, following Huo Sinian's instructions. "It might be about a month before filming resumes. I was wondering if you could offer me an extra month's contract."

Lin Tan paused.

For a moment, she thought she had misheard.

"Don't worry, I'll compensate you for the time lost," Director Ning added.

For the first time, Lin Tan felt that Lady Luck was occasionally on her side: "A month?"

"Maybe a month," Director Ning said. "It could be a little over a month, but at most no more than a month."

"Okay," Lin Tan replied.

Director Ning: "Okay, let's sign the contract again. How much compensation do you think is appropriate?"

"No need." Lin Tan felt a little relieved. "Just do as we agreed before."

Director Ning looked at her.

I think this doll is pretty good.

"Then take good care of your arm during this time." He didn't say anything more, "and present it to Tang Li in the best possible condition later."

Lin Tan said "okay".

Director Ning: "I'm going to talk to the others. You go back and rest first."

Lin Tan: "You should get some rest too."

Director Ning looked at her arm. He had grown quite fond of this serious actress after spending the past few days with her: "Are you sure your hand is alright?"

Lin Tan: "A month of rest is enough."

Director Ning said "Okay".

The matter is settled.

Lin Tan then left with Xiao Feng.

Upon learning that she wouldn't be replaced or have to pay compensation, Lin Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Huo Si Nian went into the conference room right after they left.

"Have you reached an agreement?" Huo Sinian sat down next to the director.

"It's settled." The director's gaze held a lot more emotion as he looked at him. "And what about your end?"

Huo Sinian: "I've made myself clear."

Director Ning: "They agreed?"

Huo Sinian: "Agreed."

Director Ning was completely relieved.

As long as the actors' schedules are okay, everything else is negotiable.

It's important to know that he put a lot of effort into carefully selecting the actors for each of his productions.

"I'll return five million to you later." Director Ning was genuinely surprised by his generosity, thinking that he had spent twelve million at once. "It won't take a month to delay that much. I'll be filming some other things in the meantime."

"No need." Huo Sinian leaned back in his chair. "Consider it hush money for you."

Director Ning glanced at him and finally asked, "Tell me honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Lin Tan?"

They broke someone's bones.

They're spending so much money to delay the project and they don't even let anyone know.

They are neither friends nor do they seem to have an improper relationship.

"Colleague," Huo Sinian replied perfunctorily.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Director Ning saw that he didn't want the money, so he wouldn't force him to return it. After all, if the price of some things was postponed for a month, no one knew if it would increase.

Huo Sinian smiled slightly.

Director Ning stood up, not intending to linger any longer: "Let's make this clear first, this kind of thing can't happen a second time, otherwise even if you give me 20 million, I still won't agree."

“Okay,” Huo Sinian replied.

Director Ning stood up and left.

After returning to his room, he made a phone call to Qin Jiangye.

Qin Jiangye had just finished get off work and was sitting listlessly in the back seat of the car. He answered Director Ning's call lazily: "Hello."

"What exactly is the relationship between Huo Sinian and Lin Tan?" Director Ning asked directly, still angry about the answer the kid had given him last time. They couldn't have gotten into this mess if they didn't have anything going on.
