Chapter 417: 417, Boss, aloof command
Shi Yuhuan didn’t pay them any mind and looked at Chen Tian with an aloof demeanor, directing Chen Tian, “Take care of the contract. I don’t care about the cost, but she has to leave the crew.”
Then, he turned to Mei Jun, his face supremely arrogant, commanding like an ancient king, “You know better who fits the female lead of your story, you choose it! Once you have, tell the producer to negotiate.”
Mei Jun was taken aback, flabbergasted, managing to swallow her shock before uttering a startled “Oh”.
Xiaoxiao was infuriated, “Are you all joking? If you guys didn’t beg me, I wouldn’t even want to shoot this crappy drama, hmph!”
Having finished speaking, she promptly exited with Zheng Chunlan.
Though Xiaoxiao played the female lead and essentially was the soul of the drama, investors held more sway. With enough investment, any sort of cast was achievable, and besides, Xiaoxiao had been acting high-and-mighty for a while now, causing distaste.
When the big boss behind the scenes gave his orders, they merely protested out of courtesy before promptly instructing everyone, “We’ll shoot the next scene first!” 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Naturally, the next scene didn’t involve Xiaoxiao.
Though everyone was baffled by this development, no one wanted to become the next Xiaoxiao. Autonomy was a luxury, even for a lead actress. So everyone kept a low profile and did their work diligently.
Xiaoxiao returned shortly after, unable to grasp where she had gone wrong, incensed that the investor had replaced her.
She tried to storm over to Shi Yuhuan to get answers but was politely and firmly blocked by Chen Tian.
Frustrated, Xiaoxiao could only watch Shi Yuhuan walk away, swallowing her anger and confusion.
The rumors were really true – Shi Yuhuan was indeed cold, capricious, and ruthless!
Thinking of how Shi Yuhuan had told Mei Jun to find a new actress, Xiaoxiao was convinced that Mei Jun had a personal connection with Shi Yuhuan, and maybe, had spoken ill of her to him. That was why he replaced her.
With that thought, Xiaoxiao glared defiantly at Mei Jun. She would not let this go so easily.
Mei Jun too was taken aback. As a scriptwriter, she could recommend suitable actors but didn’t have the authority to decide. Suddenly been given this power scared her.
What was happening? Mei Jun looked at Song Qinghuan.
Song Qinghuan was slightly surprised at Shi Yuhuan’s behavior, but not shocked.
For her, this was Shi Yuhuan’s actual nature. He was both charming and dangerous, assertive and domineering.
Even if Shi Yuhuan forced her back to the villa or the detached mansion at night, she had to obey. No matter how much she didn’t want to or tried to evade, in the end, she would yield under his domineering force.
Against Shi Yuhuan, she didn’t have the power to resist.
That night, after separating from Mei Jun, she obediently took a taxi to the villa. During dinner, Mei Jun asked her if Shi Yuhuan was doing all this because of her.
For a split second, she allowed herself to entertain such a possibility. But then she remembered his cruel words rejecting her, that he was bored and had had enough of their game, and she denied this notion.
She hadn’t shared with Mei Jun about Xiaoxiao bullying her. Mei Jun only knew that Xiaoxiao’s agent had bullied her.
Therefore, she believed that Shi Yuhuan’s unexpected decision to replace Xiaoxiao had nothing to do with her.
