Wen Feiran shook his head. He had never asked Gu Suian and didn't know the answer.
Each shoot requires resetting the location, and while the cost is a small amount for Gu Corporation, their willingness to reshoot a scene demonstrates their meticulous approach and their concern for the advertising's effectiveness. Furthermore, Song Lindi is no ordinary spokesperson.
For the first shoot, Gu Suian came to visit in person. This time, a high-ranking official in an important position was supervising the shoot. Anyone with eyes could sense Song Lindi's special status and treat him with even more respect. But none of this mattered to Wen Feiran. He took a deep breath and walked into another studio.
He was very nervous, afraid that he wouldn't be able to do the job well, but fortunately, his performance satisfied the director and earned him praise. The filming went smoothly and there were no unexpected problems as expected.
Filming was basically over, and the director asked him to sit down and rest. Wen Feiran greeted the staff and then went to the restroom.
There were too many people in the restrooms on this floor, so Wen Feiran didn't want to wait in line and went upstairs.
There was no filming on the second floor, and it was very quiet. After Wen Feiran came out of the bathroom, she walked through the long corridor and was about to go downstairs when she suddenly heard Song Lindi's voice.
Wen Feiran hesitated for a few seconds, then stopped.
Song Lindi was very enthusiastic towards him, and now that they had bumped into each other, he should go and say hello.
Wen Feiran adjusted his expression and walked towards Song Lindi's voice, but before he even saw her, he realized something was wrong.
"You've always been the one to keep this bag safe for me. Now that the necklace is gone, who else can I ask but you?"
Although the subject and object were completely different, Wen Feiran felt a strange sense of familiarity, like a needle piercing his temple, casually stirring his thoughts.
Compared to Song Lindi's calm demeanor, the voice on the other end was weaker and more urgent. Wen Feiran couldn't hear what was being said clearly, but she could tell that it was a girl, and that she was very young.
"I'm not blaming you. I just want to get the necklace back. It wasn't expensive, but it has my name engraved on it, so it has special meaning for me."
Song Lindi's tone wasn't one of reproach or inquiry, but rather like that of a lazy cat casually teasing its prey.
"Teacher Song, I really didn't touch your bag, and I stayed by your side as you instructed. I really don't know why the necklace is missing. You can check the security footage."
"How can you talk like that? I want to solve the problem, but you're desperately trying to shirk responsibility. This makes me doubt your work ability and attitude."
The girl on the other end panicked immediately, and said in a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, I used the wrong words. I just wanted to explain things clearly."
"Explain?" Song Lindi seemed amused and exasperated. "First, empty your pockets. I think there might be something in them."
A series of clattering sounds rang out, as if something had fallen to the ground. A woman's voice, tinged with anticipation, said, "Look, I don't have a necklace in my pocket."
"Okay, I don't want to make a big deal out of this. If we call the police, you're just a young girl, and you can't handle the consequences." Song Lindi took a breath. "If you can find the necklace for me within an hour, I'll pretend this never happened."
The girl burst into tears, "But I really didn't touch it! The security camera footage can prove it. I don't even know what the necklace looks like. How can I help you get it back?"
Song Lindi seemed to be provoked, her tone stern. "I've already given you a chance. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to speak to your superior!"
The girl seemed to see a glimmer of hope and immediately agreed to the request, trying to find a third party to seek justice for her.
Song Lindi's tone carried a hint of helplessness, as if she were saying that this girl didn't know what was good for her. "I gave you a chance. If you reported this to your boss, how could he tolerate a thief? You might even be blacklisted from employment, and then you won't be able to find a decent job."
After a full three seconds of silence, the girl's voice trembled, her teeth chattering, "No, I'm not a thief, I really didn't take the necklace."
Wen Feiran frowned deeply.
He was also wrongly accused by Song Lindi's assistant of stealing his ring, but Gu Suian appeared in time to help him get justice.
At the time, Song Lindi's assistant spoke aggressively, using the pretense of solving the problem, but implying that he was the culprit. On the surface, she was looking out for him, but she was actually forcing him to back down step by step.
However, he was a guest on the show, not an unknown intern with no background, so they couldn't use him to suppress him. Instead, after he mentioned calling the police, his assistant panicked and backed down.
After discovering the ring was in her assistant's bag and the assistant received the punishment he deserved, Wen Feiran stopped dwelling on the matter. She was worried for Song Lindi, fearing that an assistant like that could confuse right and wrong and that Song Lindi might be dragged down and suffer undeserved misfortune.
But now it seems, how could an assistant dare to convict someone so easily? It's probably a case of the upper beam being crooked, and the lower beam being crooked too. Perhaps Song Lindi is too good at pretending, or perhaps Gu Suian appeared too timely, which is why they didn't consider the reasons behind it.
After clearing her mind, Wen Feiran felt a sticky, cold sweat on her palms, making her feel uneasy and somewhat fearful.
He had also been wronged, and was in the same position as this girl. No one could empathize with her better than him, and he couldn't turn a blind eye.
However, he lacks Gu Suian's power and influence. Song Lindi will not restrain herself in front of him. In addition, Song Lindi has deep personal relationships with the higher-ups of the Gu Corporation. This girl is insignificant and may be used as cannon fodder.
Wen Feiran hadn't come up with a foolproof solution yet. The girl cried even harder, unable to clear her name, and could only mutter to herself, "I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief."
Wen Feiran could only take the most direct approach: rescue the girl first.
