She wasn't surprised at all.
Director Chen had privately approached her before and talked to her about it. After all, there had been some unpleasantness in the film crew before. But most of the things Yi Qinghuan did were behind the scenes. She wanted to use her childhood friendship with Bo Yanching and others to exclude Nan Jiaojiao, but she didn't dare to act out under Director Chen's watch. That day at the Bo Family's old residence, Bo Yanching explained everything Yi Qinghuan said to him to Nan Jiaojiao. Nan Jiaojiao didn't care much, as long as she wasn't troubled.
On Yi Qinghuan's first day, she sent milk tea and fruit pastries to the entire crew. Nan Jiaojiao's portion looked no different from others, but it was much more exquisite.
After joining the crew, they bumped into each other several times, at most nodding as a greeting, with no other interaction.
The next private encounter was when Nan Jiaojiao accompanied Bo Yanching to a wedding.
