Cheng Xiaoyu’s face was full of joy, her eyes gleaming.
"Really? When are we going? What about President Han, why didn’t he call me himself? This person, really!"
Lu Yue, the assistant, watched, feeling that the words following were difficult to say.
Thinking about President Han’s instructions, worrying that if Cheng Xiaoyu doesn’t succeed, when she found out Lu Yue helped him conceal this, she would get no good out of it either.
With this thought, she decided to simply tell Cheng Xiaoyu the specifics.
Cheng Xiaoyu thought she must be hearing things!
To know that for this leading female role, she had been working secretly from receiving the script up until filming wrapped, pulling Jiang Xinxin down from the lead position.
When the film wrapped, she successfully snatched it at the wrap party, of course, with Han Qiaoyun’s assistance behind the scenes.
Finally managing to edge out Jiang Xinxin, now she was being replaced again?
Cheng Xiaoyu was so angry that she was gnashing her teeth, didn’t even bother to remove her makeup, grabbed her purse, and was about to go find Han Qiaoyun.
"Xiaoyu, calm down first. If you offend President Han, you won’t fare well, let alone pull down Jiang Xinxin again."
"Can I be calm? This contract is signed, and they say they’re replacing like it’s child’s play?"
Lu Yue thought the same, and besides, the film "A Lifetime of Peace" had a huge investment, if they replace the lead last minute, who knows how much they would lose.
"Xiaoyu, listen to me first, maybe things aren’t like that, there must be some other problem. Think about it, the contract is signed, it’s not something that can be changed just by saying so. You know better than me how big the investment in ’A Lifetime of Peace’ is, if it’s changed last minute, how much money would the company lose?"
Businessmen are always profit-first, not making money is one thing, but there’s no way they would allow losing money.
The film hasn’t even started shooting, and they’re losing money, how could Haitian Entertainment bigwigs possibly agree?
Lu Yue thought, maybe there was some insider information they didn’t know, or it could be a smokescreen deliberately released by that woman Jiang Xinxin.
"Right right right, Sister Lu, you’re right, I can’t rush. If I really offended President Han, I wouldn’t fare well either!"
She was not as popular as Jiang Xinxin to begin with, planning to become famous overnight with "A Lifetime of Peace" and squeeze Jiang Xinxin out.
Now with this incident, Cheng Xiaoyu was panicking.
"Let’s go, Sister Lu, we’re going to the company right now!"
Lu Yue looked at the time, it was already eleven at night.
"Xiaoyu, it’s so late."
"What time is it, does it matter if it’s late?"
"Oh right, I have to call the investors!"
At the time, she had climbed into the investor’s bed and fixed the producer to get this opportunity.
Now, they’re saying she’s being replaced, she must first gauge their attitude.
After hanging up, Cheng Xiaoyu felt like her world was collapsing.
It was like being discarded after the deed was done, they even asked, "Who are you?"
Regarding the leading female role for "A Lifetime of Peace," they said it was no longer under his control.
Cheng Xiaoyu was so pissed she wanted to curse, and fiercely smashed the phone in her hand.
She dragged Lu Yue, and stormed out the door.
Jiang Xinxin received the news while drowning her sorrows in alcohol. Once she confirmed she wasn’t dreaming, she hurriedly asked someone to tidy herself up and returned to the office.
When she saw the files that had been sent over, she covered her mouth and cried, tears streaming down.
She knew it, she knew it, no matter how skilled Cheng Xiaoyu was, she couldn’t surpass her.
Remembering the news she heard earlier that the company was going to shelve her, she nearly fainted.
Jiang Xinxin’s face was much brighter with excitement, her bloodshot eyes glaring at the files on the computer, gnashing her teeth.
"Cheng Xiaoyu, I will make you pay for what you’ve done!"
