âWow, thereâs no need to make such a big salute. I wonât go easy on you even if you beg me. You may rest assured that Iâm a woman of principles.â
Xia Lian felt a sudden pain in her knees, and hearing this, her face immediately darkened.
Whoâs begging her!
Rest assured of what!
Xia Lian looked up and gritted her teeth. âXu Bei, donât go too far.â
Sheâs Beichen Entertainmentâs boss, but Iâm not nobody, either.
âAre you angry? Thatâs right, the angrier, the prettier. Remember to be angry more often.â Ming Shu began to roll up her sleeves.
The secretary saw her boss act like she was going to kick someone to death and intended to stop her. But Ming Shu gave a smiling look to her, and the secretary was frightened away.
She witnessed her boss beat up Xia Lian.
After the beating, Ming Shu left the washroom and asked the secretary, âWhat is Xia Lian doing here?â
The secretary choked. âMiss Xia Lian is the third female lead in the drama.â
You didnât know anything and just beat her up?
I need to go back and handle the PR issues now so as to avoid being sued by Xia Lian.
âWho casted her?â
If the secretary still couldnât see that her boss disliked Xia Lian, she might as well just go home and quit her job.
âThe director picked her personally,â the secretary answered. âThe director is not one of us. He wanted to add an actress and we had no reason to decline it.â
Ming Shu sounded bossy. âChange the director, then.â
The secretary choked again and she tried to persuade Ming Shu with kind words. âBoss Xu, the director is a real big figure in the industry, we canât just replace him.â
Do you think heâs a utility man?
The reason why this drama could attract so many superstars was because of the director. If they replaced him, the drama would be dead.
We only came here to attend the ceremony, then weâre leaving.
Boss Xu, please donât look for trouble.
[Guest, you can uncover a scandal and kick Xia Lian out for a proper reason.] The Harmony System began to offer stupid ideas again after being quiet for a long time.
Ming Shu sneered. Didnât you read the storyline? It said Xia Lian in this world was as pure as snow and except for being noteless, what stain can you find on her?
[We can make up something, Guest, donât think so narrowly.]
Ming Shu: â...â What the hell wouldnât you do for Hatred Points?
Am I that kind of person?
Donât instigate me here!
Ming Shu refused the Harmony Systemâs proposal and didnât yell to change the director, either. At the ceremony, she was as quiet as a chicken eating her snacks, not causing trouble.
Xia Lian was the third female lead, but as the actress personally chosen by the director, she also had her shot. After introducing the several leading roles, the director specially mentioned Xia Lian, and Xia Lian stepped forward with a smile.
Putongâ
Followed by quick and countless shuttering sounds.
Ming Shu looked up from her snacks and glanced aside. Xia Lian fell to the stage in a messy posture. The director seemed unhappy, but due to the formal occasion, he didnât say anything and just averted his gaze.
Ming Shu didnât care about the face issues, though. Puâ
Who did this!
Insane, great job.
Iâll give 101 points for this, one extra for his pride.
Ming Shu laughed aloud, and her brisk voice made the still air flow again. Some people nearby also laughed, following Ming Shu, and the journalists began to take pictures more blatantly.
Xia Lian clenched her fists slightly with her head lowered, and the flyaway hairs hid the anger in her eyes.
The female protagonist, our beautiful little sister, went to help Xia Lian up caringly. âMiss Xia, be careful. Watch the steps.â
But her hand on Xia Lianâs arm gathered strength and pinched hard. Xia Lian almost exclaimed out of pain.
While the people below couldnât see her, Xia Lian glared at the little sister fiercely.
The little sister didnât seem to care, and she warned Xia Lian in a low voice. âXia Lian, I donât care how you got in this drama, but if you dare seduce Huo Ting again, donât blame me for showing no mercy. If I were you, I would drop out of the crew right now so as not to suffer more.â
Xia Lian realized everything all at once. She had wondered a lot why this woman targeted her so much; it turned out it was because of Huo Ting.
Since that day she met Ming Shu, she met Huo Ting several times after, and Huo Ting also sent her to attend some activities. There was one time... that this woman seemed to be present.
Xia Lian shrugged off the little sister, so the little sister took the opportunity to step back with a surprised look on her face. Then her expression spontaneously turned embarrassed and wronged.
As if she showed her kindness, but was turned away by the girl.
The journalists below had imagined many excellent stories in their minds and laughed out willfully. They seemed to have seen the heated headlines tomorrow in their minds.
#The unheard-of star showed a cold face to the movie queen#
#The madcap unheard-of star dares treat the movie queen like this#
#Beichenâs newly appointed boss mocked the unheard-of star on the spot#
When Xia Lian read this news the next day, she directly asked the Xia family to suppress it. She was the Xia familyâs young miss now, so what couldnât she handle with money?
After the ceremony, the shooting started officially. Xia Lian was the third female lead but she had quite a few scenes to show up in, so she needed to stay among the crew the whole time.
Ming Shu, as a toothless and really bored boss, went to watch Xia Lian act in the crew very frequently.
Xia Lian would be tortured miserably each time she and the little sister had a common part to play. Ming Shu even held the candle to the devil at one side. Xia Lian was really pissed off.
âBoss Xu, are you not busy?â the director couldnât help but ask as he saw the foppish boss eating ice cream nearby.
Ming Foppish Boss Shu: âNot at all.â
Director: â...â Did your company go out of business?
âWhatâs going on?â The director suddenly exploded.
Over there, Xia Lian sat on the floor, covering her forehead. Blood streamed down from her fingertips, while the little sister looked at the others a little perplexedly. âI didnât use a lot of force.â
In the play, Xia Lian was supposed to be pushed down and smack onto the table, but it was by no means meant to be so real as this.
Some people went to help Xia Lian up, but the blood didnât stop.
The director hurriedly made some staff send Xia Lian to hospital, without trying to figure out what really happened.
Lately Xia Lian had been getting on well with the crewâs staff, and Xia Lian would purposely make them see when she was targeted. So right now, there were quite a few people looking at the little sister with disapproving gazes.
The little sister was depressed inside. She didnât use any force at all, and it was directed and acted by Xia Lian herself.
âI...â
âShoot the male protagonistâs part first.â The director got Xia Lian in the crew, but he didnât treat her very specially.
Now that Xia Lian was injured, the director only asked a few questions and then began to shout at the staff.
The little sister walked over with great anger. Ming Shu sat there cross-legged and uttered as she walked past, âGet your lawyers ready, Xia Lian is going to slander you.â
The little sister looked at Ming Shu confusedly.
Ming Shu smiled. âYouâre welcome.â
The little sister: â...â
The director went to his machines after yelling around. Ming Shu finished the ice cream and was ready to leave. The director hung up the phone and, seeing Ming Shu leaving, he hurriedly came to see her off.
Finally she is leaving.
