Chapter 38
Knowing that Taemin would go to the film set bright early in the morning, both Jun Minjun and Jun Sena got out of bed before daybreak. He seemed to value the film greatly as he rarely went home to sleep in the past few days. They didn’t know when they would see him again after he left this time. Sena pulled the door of the room open and happened to see Jun Minjun walking out. They exchanged glances for a while before speaking up at the same time.
Jun Minjun
The sun must have risen from the West today. Why are you up so early?
Jun Sena
Third Brother, don’t you get irritable whenever you wake up in the morning? Why did you get up so early?
After saying that, the two subconsciously looked towards Taemin’s room, which was at the end of the corridor. They then tacitly headed downstairs. It was all for the sake of seeing Taemin “for the last time”! In the end, as soon as they reached the first floor, they saw Taemin seated in front of the dining table and sipping on some fruit juice gracefully, her mannerisms exuding an inexplicable nobility. No one would have thought that he could be so violent and rough. At the sight of the both of them, Taemin remarked, raising him brows in surprise,
Kwon Taemin
You’re up so early.
Jun Minjun
The meeting is going to be held in the morning today, so I have to be there early.
Jun Sena deliberately opened the online learning app and listened to English while drinking some fruit juice.
Jun Sena
I want to study.
Jun Minjun began to find his sister an eyesore. Taemin was already done with her breakfast. He wiped the corners of his mouth and suddenly remembered something which spurred him to instruct the maid to bring the feather duster to him. Jun Minjun and Jun Sena froze when they saw him grabbing the feather duster. Jun Minjun, in particular, had his hair stand on end.
Jun Minjun
💭What is Taemin trying to do? Is he ready to commit an act of violence bright early in the morning?
Kwon Taemin
Jun Minjun.
Jun Minjun became even more nervous after suddenly having his name called. Sena looked at him and couldn’t help but feel an urge to applaud.
Jun Sena
💭Serves you right for badmouthing me behind my back! This jerk deserves a beating. He needs to be taught a lesson!
Jun Minjun
What… what’s the matter?
Kwon Taemin
Don’t you want a belated birthday gift from me?
Jun Minjun looked at the feather duster in his hand and tried to make himself smile.
Jun Minjun
Anyway, it’s over. In fact, you can just give it to me next year…
Kwon Taemin
This feather duster has been through some things with you. I shall give it to you as a gift. Happy birthday.
Jun Minjun
!!!
Jun Minjun
💭He’s giving me a feather duster as a gift? •dumbfounded•
Kwon Taemin
Why? Do you dislike it?
Jun Minjun
No, no, no!
Jun Minjun
Second Sister-in-law, thank you for your gift!
Jun Sena
💭Gee… It’s just a feather duster, what’s the point?’l When I pass all my exams, Second Sister-in-law will definitely give me a better gift!
Taemin was indeed very busy, so he picked up his bag and hurried to the film set without further delay.
Jun Sena
Third Brother, must you be such a wimp?
Jun Minjun
Jun Sena, you…
Jun Sena
As a member of the Jun Family, I must be very smart since Big Brother and Second Brother are so intelligent. Do you really think everyone is like you? I’ll hire a tutor now!
Jun Minjun
💭Why is Sena so feisty? Forget it.
Jun Minjun
Uncle Zheng, go to an auction and get me the most beautiful and exquisite vase that matches my bearing!
Jun Minjun
💭I must put away the feather duster that Taemin gave me properly!
The progress of the film was going well and for some reason, Hong Bin had been performing exceptionally well in the past few days although he was always known to make mistakes. Even Taemin had more NG takes than him. After filming a sweaty fight scene, Taemin sat on a recliner with a cup of milk tea.
Stranger
Aide: Director Tian, Director Tian, look at the latest hot search topics. Lei Chan has promoted his new movie, and even announced the filming period. Is it going to be released together with our film?
Tian wen, who was trying to get more information about Second Young Mistress Huo from Taemin, stopped smiling when he heard that. He took out his cell phone sullenly. Most of the hot search topics were about Lei Chan and his new film.
“Filming of ‘Islander’ is ongoing, taking ‘Female Fortress Leader’ head-on.” “Competition between up-and-coming director and passé director.” “Lei Chan’s new film has an all-star cast.” …
The further down he scrolled, Tian wen’s face grew even more sullen. Taemin had already searched the entire hot search list and learned that a famous director of the industry had already gotten ready to produce a new film. The actors were all ready. They did not do it on purpose either and the male lead was Hong Bin ’s arch nemesis, an actor who had been getting suppressed by Hong Bin . On the other hand, the female lead was the best actress, Li Jihyo. ‘Are they trying to suppress us with the cast?’
Kwon Taemin
Director Tian, are you scared?
Tian wei
Scared of Lei Chan? Why would I be scared of a scumbag who turns his back against everyone and resorts to lowly means to make a name for himself?
Kwon Taemin
Okay.
Taemin was a little curious. Lei Chan managed to become popular because of a hit suspense film that he had directed. Many actors hoped to cooperate with him. Besides, he had a good reputation even though he was a little arrogant.
Kwon Taemin
Does Director Tian have something against Lei Chan?
At the mention of Lei Chan, Tian wen’s eyes were full of hatred. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wishing he could chop that person up into pieces. Such hatred…
Tian wei
Lei Chan is my junior and we used to share a close relationship. I used to share all my inspiration with him.
Tian wei
Later on, something happened and an actor made a grave mistake, causing the entire production to be delayed because of the investigation. He went round spreading rumors and caused my reputation to be tarnished. Even my benefactor doesn’t believe me anymore. He took the chance to take over me as director. They then began suppressing me again.
‘It’s no wonder.’ ‘But then again, isn’t this normal?’ Ever since ancient times, the world has always been about the survival of the fittest. There had been various examples of the vile bullying the honest and upright people, especially in the entertainment industry.
Taemin had been wanting to live a good life and since he wanted to be better than others, he had to be good at martial arts. However, it was an era of civilization so he had to use money and power to establish authority.
Kwon Taemin
Director Tian, what do you think of Lei Chan’s new film?
Tian wei
Our main character is a female bandit while theirs is a male pirate. Isn’t that mimicking our plot?
He refused to admit that he had plagiarized someone else’s work and resorted to unscrupulous means to win higher votes. That was Lei Chan’s capabilities. Lei Chan just liked going against others. There was a newbie director who got forced to switch careers because of him.
There were even many haters of Hong Bin who emerged and said that he relied on his good looks to make a living. They slammed him for having no professional ethics. As for Taemin… He was a minor actor in the first place, so there was no big deal with being hated on.
Kwon Taemin
Do you think we will lose?
Tian wei
•Looked at Taemin in bewilderment.•
Kwon Taemin
Lei Chan is clearly trying to vie with us for the box office sales. Director Tian, will we lose?
Tian wen hesitated. He was confident in his film but not in himself.
Kwon Taemin
In this case, I think I’d better get Second Young Mistress Jun to withdraw the investment. His money doesn’t grow on trees.
