Chapter 498: Poking a Hornet’s Nest
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Director Wu’s face tightened. He also felt like he had poked a hornet’s nest.
However, he had only been stung by a hornet. There was still a salvageable situation.
“Director System, this matter has to start with Shi Qian and Jin Enshu having some conflicts. Why arc we doing this show? For the sake of popularity and money. You know the benefits Jin Enshu brought. Back then, I was the one who advocated inviting Jin Enshu. If she hadn’t participated, our sponsorship wouldn’t have reached such a high level.”
“Although you have to pay attention to the benefits, you’ve already edited most of Shi Qian’s scenes. Why do you still have to deal with her voice later?” Director Xiang questioned.
“Jin Enshu has introduced another sponsor and is prepared to support her greatly in our second episode. The contract is about to be signed.” Director Wu said helplessly, “On this stage, either Jin Enshu will stay, or Shi Qian will stay. Tell me, who should I keep?”
The director fell silent.
“Besides, Jin Enshu doesn’t want to be the champion. She just doesn’t want Shi Qian to accumulate fame in our show.”

“How should we deal with the current situation? Shi Qian has already made a fuss about terminating the contract. Moreover, the production team has been pushed to the center of the storm. It will affect them greatly,” another director said.
“I’ve already thought of a solution. I’ll agree to Shi Qian’s termination. At most, I won’t ask for her termination fee. I’ll announce to the public that we negotiated a friendly settlement,” Director Wu said calmly.
“What do you think of this method?” The director looked at everyone.
“I still insist on my original opinion. It will be the production team’s loss to let Shi Qian leave,” Director Xiang said coldly.
“Since ancient times, heroes can’t resist a beauty. The ancients didn’t lie to me,” Director Wu said with a smile. His gaze fell on Director Xiang. “It seems that such a beauty is the only thing that can move Director Xiang.”
“Wu Qiwei! You’d better speak with more respect! Shi Qian is younger than my daughter. How can you have such dirty thoughts!”
“Director Wu!” The supervisor shouted.
“Consult with Shi Qian first. It’s best not to continue this matter!”
“Okay,” Director Wu immediately replied.

It was late, and Shi Qian was still with Xiao Yan.
Neither of them went home. Instead, they booked a room near the company and followed the progress of things.
Shi Qian had just come out of the shower when she heard Xiao Yan on the phone.
“Director Wu, I’ve said it before. The production team has to apologize to Shi Qian. If you planned this, then we will accept your public apology to Shi Qian.” “Didn’t you say that you wanted to negotiate a friendly agreement to get rid of the cooperative relationship? How did we breach the contract?”
When Director Wu heard this question, he choked. “Xiao Yan, at this point, you can stop now.”
“We can stop now? Let me advise Director Wu not to be too snobbish. You’re short-sighted. Instead, you lost a watermelon because of a sesame seed.” “Pfft!” Director Wu immediately sneered. “Alright, I’m short-sighted. I only look at the small profits in front of me. Then tell me, what big benefits can Shi Qian bring? How much capital does she have to support her? If she has the capital, I’ll support her too, but she doesn’t!”
“Xiao Yan, it’s not easy for you to make a comeback after coming back from Hong Kong. You’re indeed lucky to be able to sign a newcomer like Shi Qian. Let’s forget about this matter. Excessive consumption of public resources will backfire. You know this better than I do..”
