Inexplicably, Chu Zheng’s expressionless appearance added psychological pressure to the assistant director.
The deputy director got in an even worse mood. A little yellow-haired girl actually dared to put such pressure on him. (TN: A little yellow-haired girl is an expression for little kids who know nothing about the world.)
“Miss Gu, don’t make a scene. Apologize to Manman now or I’ll call someone.”
Chu Zheng was succinct: “Just call.”
The assistant Director: “……” This dead girl really thinks he doesn’t dare call over someone!
“What are you guys standing here for?”
The assistant director turned around and saw the director coming from the set while holding his phone in a hurry.
“Director, everything’s fine.” The assistant director hurriedly said, “There’s just a troublemaker here, I will immediately make her leave.”
The director had already walked over and saw Chu Zheng at a glance. He instantly smiled and said: “Miss Gu, you’ve already arrived! Didn’t I say I’d pick you up? I’m sorry for letting you come over here by yourself.”
This was their god of wealth!
She must be served well!
“Whoever is causing trouble should be sent away quickly, don’t just stand here and get in the way.” The director quickly instructed the assistant director. What if something happened and someone offended his god of wealth.
The assistant director looked terrified. Was he hallucinating? How come he’s watching the director talking to Gu Chu Zheng with such a fawning expression?
Liu Manman’s expression was no better.
The director’s attitude ……
“He’s talking about me.” Chu Zheng answered for him.
“What?” The director was first confused, then he reacted and looked at the assistant director and Liu Manman.
He couldn’t be clearer about how Liu Manman got her current role and he didn’t care much since they weren’t in a big production, a little third female lead role wasn’t worth arguing as long as the person could act.
But ……
Thinking about the previous incident, it seemed like this third female lead had stolen the role of the god of wealth.
The director instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Chu Zheng didn’t particularly mention it and he was so happy about the investment that he completely forgot all about it.
“What’s wrong with you!” The director backhandedly slapped the assistant director on the head, “This is the respectable Miss Gu! Open your eyes and see clearly, is Miss Gu a troublemaker?”
“Apologize to Miss Gu!”
The director directly snapped at him.
The assistant director was confused by the sudden turn of events.
Apologize? To her?
“Director ……” The assistant director still wanted to ask why, but before he could speak, he was once again slapped on the head by the director.
In ‘assistant director’ there was still an ‘assistant’ before ‘director’, he naturally couldn’t compare to the actual director.
“I’m sorry Miss Gu.” The assistant director dryly apologized, not really understanding how he was wrong. Did the director go crazy?
Liu Manman silently stood aside, her fingernails resentfully digging into her palms as her fists clenched tightly.
“Miss Gu, I’m very sorry. Please don’t take it to heart and forgive them. Follow me, I’ll show you inside.” The director quickly wrapped the incident and changed the subject.
When Chu Zheng and the director went in, Liu Manman immediately grabbed the assistant director’s arm, “Assistant director, what’s going on with Gu Chu Zheng?”
The assistant director also wasn’t in a great mood after being told of by the director, his tone wasn’t too good: “I don’t know.”
He faced Liu Manman and asked accusingly: “Isn’t she your roommate? She suddenly showed up here and you don’t even know why?”
Liu Manman shook her head. She really didn’t know.
These past few days, she had few chances to meet her as she left early in the morning and came back late at night. She really had no idea what she was recently up to.
Knowing her background and ability, she was also certain she wouldn’t be able to make any waves to she simply didn’t bother about her.
“Eh, assistant director …… please wait for me!” Seeing the assistant director leaving angrily, Liu Manman didn’t dare offend him as she still needed to rely on him.
—
The director didn’t waste any more time and quickly gathered the crew to introduce Chu Zheng as their second female lead.
“The second female lead was changed, huh?”
“She looks cold and unsociable, but she’s very beautiful.”
“Have you seen her before?”
“Never seen her, must be a newbie. Did she come through the back door?” (TN: through the back door = relying on connection, money or the unspoken rules/s*x.)
The director saw the people around getting more and more outrageous in their discussions and finally raised his voice to shut them up: “Miss Gu is not only the second female, but also our biggest investor, so pay attention everyone!”
