The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife

Chapter 11

Shen Yin started to regret not waking up early in the morning to prepare lunch for her child and bring it along.

After finishing lunch, Yan Yan led Shen Yin and Zhengzheng into the dressing room.

Zhengzheng had hair that was neither too long nor too short, perfectly suitable for a child's hairstyle. His fair and tender skin didn't require any makeup artist's touch.

However, there was a slight issue with the costumes. The props team had no concept of clothing sizes for a two-year-old child. Shen Yin and Yan Yan dressed Zhengzheng in the clothes, only to realize that they were quite oversized.

Zhengzheng stood up from the chair, clapping his little hands, resembling someone about to perform on stage. It seemed like the only thing missing was a theater stage.

The members of the costume and props team also became worried. What could they do? They couldn't grasp the sizes correctly, and it was their mistake. Considering Wang Ming's directorial seriousness when it came to filming, he would surely criticize them.

As if on cue, Director Wang pushed open the door of the dressing room, smiled at Shen Yin, and turned to ask about the progress of the costume team.

"Is everything ready? If it's ready, we can start shooting."

The members of the costume team became nervous. One of them stammered, "I'm sorry, Director. The size of the costumes for the young actor is a bit inappropriate."

After saying that, the entire costume team became even more anxious, standing there uneasily. The room fell into silence, with everyone waiting for Wang Ming's scolding.

Wang Ming turned his head to look at Zhengzheng, who was still touching his own clothes, his face full of curiosity.

Perhaps afraid of startling Zhengzheng with his loud voice, Wang Ming didn't react as they had expected. He simply said, "You have two hours to figure out a solution. We'll start shooting at four o'clock sharp."

The costume team faced another dilemma. "Director, these clothes were custom-made from an external factory. Chen Jie, who is responsible for altering the sizes, took a leave today."

Misfortunes never come singly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming became even angrier. This was irresponsibility! He was about to reprimand them when he heard Shen Yin speak up.

"Wang Director, how about this? I can make the modifications to the clothes. It will take about half an hour. You can focus on other things for now."

"Is that possible?" Wang Ming was skeptical. After all, Chang Zhiyuan had already informed him. Zhengzheng was the son of the CEO of Yuan Corporation.

And Shen Yin was the wife of the CEO. Leaving aside whether the wife of a CEO would alter clothes, he, as a director, couldn't let her do the work for his crew.

Shen Yin noticed Wang Ming's concerns.

"Don't worry, Director. I studied costume design. It's quite easy, and it won't be much trouble."

Only then did Wang Ming feel relieved. He said, "Thank you for the trouble," and left.

The members of the costume team were immensely grateful to Shen Yin. After Wang Ming left, they busied themselves preparing things for her.

Two men directly brought Chen Jie's sewing machine and plugged it in front of Shen Yin.

Others brought scissors. Some found a measuring tape.

Yan Yan changed Zhengzheng's clothes and handed them to Shen Yin.

Shen Yin had been holding Zhengzheng for the past couple of days, so she didn't need to measure. She knew how to modify the sizes.

As for the sewing machine in front of her, Shen Yin, despite having the memories of the previous owner, had never actually practiced using it. Trying something new at this time would certainly be too late.

So, she decided to sew by hand instead. Shen Yin took apart all the threads from the clothes, which were made up of several pieces of fabric stitched together. The original patterns were already set, so all she had to do was cut each piece of fabric to the right proportions and then sew them together.

Soon, the clothes were almost finished. Shen Yin felt that the fit of the clothes was still not aesthetically pleasing enough, so she decided to make some further adjustments. The fabric was still good, so she fixed the fit and added some small patterns to the cuffs.

When Zhengzheng put on the clothes again, everyone present was shocked. They didn't expect it to fit so perfectly.

"Madam, you're amazing. You didn't even measure the size, yet it turned out to fit so well," Yan Yan couldn't believe it.

"Truly impressive, Madam. Thank you," the members of the costume team echoed.

Yan Yan looked at her phone and reminded, "Madam, it's time. Zhengzheng needs to go out for the shoot."

Shen Yin picked up Zhengzheng from the chair and walked towards the door, with Yan Yan following along with all the bags.

"Oh, you're done. I was just about to go in and see how the alterations were going," Wang Ming approached them.

"Yes, we're done. You can go in, but Zhengzheng has never acted before, so please be understanding, Director," Shen Yin said calmly.

"I understand, I understand," Wang Ming nodded, knowing that he couldn't say much as the son of the CEO of Yuan Corporation, even if Zhengzheng caused trouble on set.

Wang Ming led Shen Yin to a quaint room. Shen Yin saw a group of people gathered around several screens, with some racks in front.

The previous owner's memories had these things, and now she was witnessing how these people ran into the TV through the screens and made the show.

"Shuyi, Zhengzheng is here," Wang Ming called out to Shu Yi.

After finishing her makeup, Shu Yi walked over to Shen Yin and gently touched Zhengzheng's little face, saying, "Son, Mommy is here." Then she smiled apologetically at Shen Yin.

Shen Yin smiled back, understanding that she needed to get familiar with Zhengzheng for their roles later.

"Who is Mommy?" Zhengzheng still looked confused. He didn't understand why this person called Mommy had arrived and called him her son. Usually, he heard people call him son, like his godfather.

Everyone present couldn't help but laugh at Zhengzheng's question.

"Zhengzheng, Mommy is another word for Mom. Later, in the show, this beautiful auntie will be your Mommy, okay? Just pretend we're playing house," Yan Yan patiently explained.

Zhengzheng seemed to grasp the idea but held onto Shen Yin's arm tighter and said, "But I already have a Mommy."

Wang Ming and the others felt awkward, not knowing how to explain this to a young child.

Shen Yin smiled helplessly and said, "It's just acting. I'm still your Mommy, but for this period of time, you have another Mommy in the show. Can you pretend to play along with this Mommy? Like playing make-believe?"

Shen Yin was still afraid that Zhengzheng wouldn't understand, so she continued, "Zhengzheng, do you have a godfather? Godfather means the same as a father, right?"

Zhengzheng nodded.

"Is your godfather good to you?"

"Yes."

"Then, can Zhengzheng consider this beautiful aunt as your godmother? She will treat you well just like your godfather. Can you listen to her and obey her?"

"Okay! Dad said Zhengzheng is a brave little man who should listen to Mom." The two-year-old boy looked determined.

The logic of having both a godfather and a godmother was indeed strange, but Zhengzheng firmly believed in this logic. Everyone present found it ridiculous, but fortunately, Zhengzheng had become familiar with Shu Yi, making communication easier.

The first scene was Shu Yi feeding Zhengzheng.

Wang Ming explained the scene to Shu Yi, emphasizing the need to portray Yan Xi's patience. This patience involved slowly feeding Zhengzheng.

Yan Xi single-handedly supported a large family and was truly busy. Despite her numerous responsibilities, she never neglected her son, Jiang Yu.

Wang Ming, Shu Yi, and the assistant director gathered around Zhengzheng and spoke to him, teaching him what to say during the scene.

On the table prepared by the props team, there were four dishes. Originally, considering the status and power of the Jiang family, there should have been eight dishes. However, Yan Xi reduced the number by half.

Two dishes were props, and two were edible.

Wang Ming asked, "Is everyone ready?"

"We're ready."

"Action!"

Zhengzheng sat on a chair, with Shu Yi sitting beside him.

The camera was rolling.

"Jiang Yu, shall we eat our meal obediently?"

After Shu Yi finished speaking, she picked up a piece of green vegetable and brought it to Zhengzheng's mouth.

After eating it, Zhengzheng's face showed a hint of distress. It was the most unpleasant vegetable he had ever tasted.

But then he remembered what his mom had said about cooperating with his godmother. Well, he would endure it.

Seeing Zhengzheng's expression, Shu Yi couldn't help but smile. She guessed that the little darling probably found the vegetable unappetizing.

The vegetable was put together from a lunchbox, which was quite unfair to Zhengzheng.

There was nothing they could do; it was acting after all, and the conditions on the set were like this.

Shu Yi focused on the performance, looking at Jiang Yu with a smile.

"Jiang Yu, do you not like eating green vegetables?"

Zhengzheng nodded, practically writing his agreement on his face. Not only did he dislike eating green vegetables, but he also detested eating such unpalatable ones.

"Then, Yu'er, eat another bite of the green vegetable, alright? After finishing the vegetable, we can eat the meat."

"Mom, when will Dad come back?"

Yan Xi fell into contemplation and replied, "Dad is a man who protects the family and the country. When Yu'er grows up, Dad will come back."

Zhengzheng nodded as if he understood but not really.

"Then, Yu'er will also protect the family and the country in the future."

"Click."

The scene was over.

Wang Ming and the assistant director were ecstatic. They had managed to complete the scene in one take.

"Fantastic, Shu Yi! You handled the details exceptionally well!" praised Wang Ming.

"Thank you, director."

"Zhengzheng is amazing, such a young child, yet able to remember lines and catch Shu Yi's scenes."

"Yes, the pacing is also very well executed," the assistant director chimed in.

Shen Yin walked over and lifted Zhengzheng up, while Yan Yan held a cup of water and offered it to Zhengzheng's lips.

"You've worked hard, Zhengzheng. Mommy will make some meat for you to eat when we go home tonight."

"Okay, meat! No vegetables! Those vegetables are so difficult to eat! They taste bitter," Zhengzheng said, pointing at the greens on the table with a disgusted look on his face.

Shen Yin took out a tissue and wiped the corners of Zhengzheng's mouth.

Director Wang Ming walked over.

"Zhengzheng is truly amazing. If we continue at this pace, Zhengzheng will have a total of ten scenes, and we should be able to film another one this afternoon."

"Alright, I'll take Zhengzheng out for a walk. Let us know when you're ready, and we'll come back," Shen Yin replied.
