NovelEnglishChapter 63 At first, Lindsey didn't want to get involved.
After all, it had nothing to do with her.
But Shelia was her stepsister, and she felt bad for her colleagues who'd have to work overtbecause of Shelia.
In the end, Lindsey felt the need to do something.
Bracing herself, she walked into the studio, only to see that Shelia's assistant's eyes were red and puffy.
Shelia crossed her arms over her chest and held her head high, barking, "Buyseafood risotto from a Michelin restaurant right now.
Only after I've eaten will I start the shoot.
"But... but he nearest Michelin restaurant is far from here, and it's very expensive..." The assistant lowered her head and protested hesitantly.
Shelia sneered, "Since you're so poor, why don't you just beca beggar instead? Why'd you cto Vitality Entertainment? To waste our time? Humph!" "Vitality Entertainment hires people based on their capabilities, not their family background," Lindsey cut in, stepping in front of Shelia's assistant protectively.

What's so wrong about that?" "Lindsey?" Shelia wrinkled her nose in disdain.
"What the hell are you doing here? This is none of your goddamned business!" "You're right; this really is none of my business, but I chere just to give you a little reminder.
"Lindsey, wearing a calm smile, retrieved her phone and launched the calculator app.
"Today marks the deadline for this advertisement.
If you don't wrap up the shoot on time, everyone will be clocking in extra hours with you.
The standard overtrate at Vitality Entertainment is five hundred dollars per hour.
Judging by your current speed, they'll be stuck here for hours, toiling away until midnight-that's a total of six hours of overtime.
Considering everything from preparation to post-production, I estimate there will be at least thirty people dedicated to this advertisement.
So..." Lindsey ceased tapping on her phone screen and displayed the outcof the calculation to Shelia.
"The company will need to shell out nearly a hundred thousand dollars in overtpay, not to mention the additional costs for water, electricity, and other miscellaneous fees.
Do you really think the higher-ups are willing to spend that much money on a nameless rookie like you? Who do you think they'll blame?" Shelia becflustered at once.
After all, she had never considered this before.
Indeed, she was new to this industry, and she just wanted to send the message that she was not to be neglected.
However, even she had to admit that her actions were a bit rash; if the company got angry with her and even blacklisted her from the entertainment industry, then all her hard work would've gotten her nowhere.
Shelia cleared her throat and said falteringly, "Forget it.
I lost my appetite now.
Let's start the shoot.
" None of the staff present knew how to deal with Shelia.
Unexpectedly, Lindsey was able to solve the problem in a few words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone silently shot her grateful looks.
It was true that the company offered overtpay, but it wasn't as much as Lindsey claimed.
Taking advantage of the fact that Shelia was new here and knew m nothing about company policy, she bluffed Shelia into cooperating with the crew. Having solved this matter, Lindsey was in a good mood.
She left the stuand finished her work without another hitch.
* A few days later, Lindsey received a call from Domenic.
He told her that he had found several nice apartments that fit her budget, and he asked her if she wanted to view them with him. Lindsey readily agreed.
One afternoon, Domenic took her to one of the apartments.
The location and amenities were good, and more importantly, the rent was affordable.
Lindsey was very satisfied with it.
The only drawback was that she'd have to rent it with someone else.
