After Gu Chengyu left, Director Tang crossed his arms and frowned as he asked Shi Lan, âDid you provoke him again?â
âIâve been under your watch the whole time,â Miss Shi insisted she wouldnât take the blame for this.
âNo filming this afternoon, everyone rest!â
âDirector Tang, we could shoot my parts, and there are also some group scenes,â Shi Lan didnât want to waste time.
âThen letâs change the set.â Director Tang waved his hand, actually quite satisfied with Shi Lanâs work ethic.
Sun Ling came over with a clean towel, not being able to help complaining, âIs this male lead an idiot?â
Shi Lan let Sun Ling drape the towel over her shoulders as she walked downstairs, clutching her phone in hand, unable to resist, she sent a message to that bastard on WeChat.
Shi Lan: âBoss Yan, someone keeps delaying the shooting schedule over and over. Shouldnât they be socially beaten up?â
Boss Yan asked with interest, âIf it were you, what would you do?â
I would get a group of people to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, and then treat him to a âhigh-endâ meal to make him sober up and understand the dark side of the entertainment industry.
But at the moment, operating under An Lanâs ID, Shi Lan could only make a mental note of it for now.
Shi Lan: âI donât know, I would just tell on him.â
Seeing the reply, Yan Shixiu chuckled. In the past, Miss Shi Lan would never give a heads up when dealing with someone; now, she can only swallow her feelings, which must be tough for her.
Yet, the way she tattles is somewhat submissive, which is awkward yet endearing.
Actually, after sending the message, Shi Lan regretted it.
Because she felt like she was leveraging Yan Shixiuâs âpursuitâ of her to ask for favors, a bit like acting like Gu Chengyu 2.0.@@novelbin@@
But in truth, she had no such intention; she messaged Yan Shixiu because she had said she admired the way that bastard dealt with things and was used to seeking out that resonating person.
Shi Lan: âNever mind what I said, just talking.â
But on Yan Shixiuâs side, it wasnât just idle listening.
Boss Yan: âTelling on someone is a virtue.â
Seeing this response, Shi Lan was infuriated. In a previous life, getting a kind word out of you was like forcing you to swallow poison, but now for someone else, the compliments come easily.
Shi Lan: âBoss Yan, whereâs your bottom line?â
Boss Yan: âSeriously, how do you want to handle it?â
The female boss, adhering to her principle of relieving everyone, especially saving Director Tang from a heart attack, sent Yan Shixiu a âsuggestion.â
Artists like Gu Chengyu, spoiled by fans, need to be controlled now, otherwise theyâll keep causing trouble in the future.
After reading Shi Lanâs âsuggestion,â Yan Shixiu replied with just four words: âAs you wish.â
Shi Lan: âWhat do you mean âas I wishâ? Whose budget am I trying to save? This is called being loyal!â
Boss Yan: âIf this was just between brothers⦠it would be a pity.â
Three sentences without flirting, will you die?
Shi Lan: âIâm going to start shooting!â
Boss Yan smiled, put away his phone, and summoned his assistant into the office. Shi Lanâs method was one that most big shots in the industry would use, she was indeed experienced.
Firstly, on Director Tangâs end, they made Gu Chengyu reflect on his actions.
Then, Gu Chengyuâs management company would pretend to arrange a B-lister to take over his role and get Gu Chengyu involved with some terrible scripts, to serve as a warning.
Normally, the management companies would cooperate, as they too feared artists would become arrogant with fame, and would attempt to rein them in.
The management company made it clear that they could continue without Gu Chengyu.
Now, when Gu Chengyu humbled himself and begged Director Tang to take him back, that was the time for Director Tang to grind him down further.
This chain of actions would strip even the proudest artist of their arrogance!
