To free up time for that refrigerator-themed variety show, Ni Bingyan had been burning the candle at both ends on set. Her assistant, Duanmu Li, was right there with her, running around nonstop. They'd barely had a decent night's sleep, and Ni Bingyan felt terrible about it.
They wrapped up early that day, while it was still light out. Ni Bingyan decided to treat Duanmu Li to a nice meal as a small reward for her diligent assistant, who worked harder than Old Huang's ox.
An assistant's meals and lodging during work hours were the boss's responsibility anyway. Duanmu Li just figured Ni Bingyan was sick of the boxed lunches on set and wanted a change of pace. The moment she was called, she was ready to go.
Ni Bingyan gave her the destination, but Duanmu Li didn't even need to use the GPS. She drove straight to the building, clearly familiar with the place.
'She was Mr. Wei's assistant for years, so she probably came here often,' Ni Bingyan thought, not making a big deal out of it.
