Chapter 652: Openly?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Of course, when she first walked into this ward, she didn’t know that the man sitting by the door was the famous Huo Qi, the chief investor of the movie Nan An, Shang Bei and He Liang’s “sugar daddy”!
However, after hearing what Huo Qi said, she immediately reacted. When Shang Bei stood up with a sullen face, she immediately stood up too and explained with a fawning smile, “You’ve misunderstood! Look at my mouth, I can’t even explain this. Hahaha! This is actually the case. The things we’re talking about are definitely not beyond the scope of the production team’s need to keep secret. I can swear on this!”
She said as she looked at Shang Bei and smiled obediently. “Director Shang, don’t be angry first! Can you listen to me explain? Don’t you know what kind of person I am? Do you think I’ll do things you don’t like and don’t agree with? I’m just talking nonsense! Are you really angry? Then let me apologize to you, alright? I’m sorry, Director Shang! I spoke too carelessly and made you unhappy. Please forgive me this time on account of me apologizing to you so sincerely, alright?”
After all, Lin An was a junior actor promoted by Shang Bei and could be considered half of Shang Bei’s daughter. She apologized so sincerely and humbly in front of so many people, so Shang Bei certainly couldn’t put on a straight face anymore.
He took a deep breath and looked at Lin An, who was standing beside him. He said, “You weren’t someone who didn’t know how to speak before and didn’t know your limits. Why are you acting so strange today?”
When he asked these questions, he frowned slightly and made up his mind. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Huo Qi, who was by the door. He looked at Lin An and said very seriously, ‘IHuo Qi is the overall investor of my movie. Now, in front of him, you can tell me the truth honestly. What’s the real purpose of you coming here today? If it’s a reasonable request, we won’t be unreasonable. You don’t have to test me in such a roundabout way!”
“You should know what kind of person I am! What I, Shang Bei, hate the most is this kind of insincere behavior, and people who always want to do some cheap shots behind people’s backs! You’d better not bring this kind of tiresome and evil behavior to me. I, Shang Bei, can’t stand it and I’ll scold you directly!
Do you understand?”
Shang Bei was indeed one of the top directors in China’s film industry. He was talented and arrogant, so he certainly had some temper. He was usually gentle and loving, but if anyone dared to mess with his bottom line, they would definitely not have a good ending!
If Shang Bei really wanted to teach someone a lesson, he could curse at full blast no matter what occasion it was, just like how he scolded Li Xiang in the production team a few days ago!
Lin An’s face turned red from Shang Bei’s rude tone. She felt the attention of everyone in the ward and swallowed her saliva reluctantly with a very unnatural smile on her face.
She felt that she had already used all her strength to barely maintain her precarious mentality, so that she wouldn’t ruin her image in front of these people.
She took a few deep breaths and clenched her fists under the shawl, as if she was going to pierce the skin on her palm the next second!
The corners of her mouth curled up. “Since you’ve already said this so openly, Director Shang, I have nothing to hide! One of the main reasons why I came here today is to ask you personally what your attitude is regarding the suspension of Nan An. If you need an actress to save the scene at the last minute, I’m completely qualified!”
“Let’s not talk about our previous two collaborations.. I don’t think I’ll lose even if I have to compete with a newbie actress like Su Qing! Even though you didn’t choose me to be the female lead of ‘Nan An’ before, I believe that things in the world are always good and slow! Isn’t God giving us a chance to start over now?
I think we should seize this opportunity!”
