Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Lu did not expect Director Zheng to personally go on stage and started pretending to be an innocent victim. She pretended to be pitiful as she replied.
“I didn’t know that the director had misunderstood me so grossly!
“As an actress, I wholeheartedly participated in every scene in ‘Beacon’, even if I was sick.
“If the director had any dissatisfaction with me, he should have made it clear at that time. He did not unilaterally inform me that my role had been replaced and chased me out of the production team!”
Director Zheng was so angry that he felt a headache coming. He did not understand how such a shameless person could tell such a bald-faced lie!
Jiang Lu’s assistant pretended to be an insider and typed in the comments section of the official Weibo.
“I am a staff member of the production team. I personally witnessed Jiang Zhi working with the director to isolate Jiang Lu, change the script at will, and even lowering Jiang Lu’s pay! Now, he had actually poured dirty water on Jiang Lu. He’s simply shameless!”
Immediately after, the little assistant posted on Star Glory’s official Weibo and Jiang Zhi’s private weibo, causing the war of words to escalate!
Jiang Zhi turned on her computer and saw thousands of comments and private messages pouring in. She scrolled through the mouse and received a call from Ji Hao.
Ji Hao seemed to have guessed what she was doing at that moment and tried to persuade her, “CEO Jiang, please don’t get agitated! The more this happens, the more we must remain calm. We can’t fall into Jiang Lu’s trap! It’s not beneficial to speak up for the production team rashly. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Jiang Zhi’s eyes were indifferent as she nodded and replied, “I understand.”
Ji Hao clearly had not expected her to be so calm. The words that he had prepared were stuck in his throat as he hung up the phone awkwardly.
Jiang Zhi opened the USB drive and sent the two audio files recorded by the production team to Director Zheng. At the same time, she left him a message saying, “You’re welcome.”
Of the two audio files, one was Jiang Lu’s forceful request for a leave of absence, and the other was Jiang Lu’s overbearing request for a full payment. It was there where she had also threatened to resign.
In the recording, Jiang Lu was arrogant and domineering, completely unlike her image in front of the public!
Director Zheng was so anxious that when he was walking in circles, he received a life-saving straw from Jiang Zhi and immediately contacted the publicity staff of the production team!
That night, the official Weibo of the production team of “Beacon” used extremely serious words to caption the recording. “The truth is as such. I hope that Ms. Jiang Lu can have some self-respect and stop lying!”
When the recording was released, Jiang Lu’s fans were dumbfounded. The situation had completely turned around!
“Damn it! How did they get these? They must have prepared this beforehand to harm me!”
Jiang Lu was so angry that her expression was distorted. She flipped over the makeup table to vent her hatred, but the situation could not be salvaged..
..
Beijing, Lu family’s old residence.
Lu Mian saw Cheng Yi sitting in the living room drinking tea with the old master. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes.
Cheng Yi stood up in a panic, waved his hand and explained.
“Old Master Lu wanted to discuss a collaboration with me and bought a plane ticket to come here at the last minute. I don’t know anything! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you…”
What a joke!
He had to clear his name. If Lu Mian misunderstood this as an attempt to betray him, he would definitely end up in a terrible state!
Old Master Lu glanced at the two of them and asked coldly, “The young master of the Lu family in the capital finding his way into the entertainment industry?
“If you don’t feel ashamed of yourself, I’ll do it on your behalf!”
Lu Mian picked up the glass on the coffee table and took a few sips. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth and frowned, “If I want to invest in the entertainment industry, I have to do some market research. Only by experiencing it personally can I master the various aspects. It was you who taught me the concept of business, wasn’t it?
“You… Bastard! Is this what I taught you?”
Old Master Lu’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to threaten him, Lu Mian raised his eyes and said indifferently, “You want me to take over the Lu family’s business? I promised you so, but the condition is that you don’t care about what I do anymore. Grandfather, I’m already an adult. I know what I’m doing.”
Old Master Lu was surprised, but he could not hide his joy.
Lu Mian was his designated heir, but he had been wandering outside for many years and was not interested in the management of the company.
Now that he was willing to negotiate a deal, elder Lu could only nod and agree to let Lu Mian continue to play his little game in the entertainment industry.
Cheng Yi silently gave Lu Mian a thumbs up in his heart, full of admiration.
Elder Lu looked at the dark sky and leaned on his walking stick. He said meaningfully, “The girl from the Ning family just happened to be home when she came back from abroad. You should go and have dinner with her tonight. She was the most attached to you when she was young, you…”
Lu Mian raised his wrist and looked at the time. He decisively turned him down, “I’m not free.”
He pointed at Cheng Yi with a scheming look on his face. “They are more familiar with each other and share a common language. Let Cheng Yi go.”
“Grandpa, I still have something to do. I’ll come back to play chess with you another day!”
Lu Mian hurriedly booked a return ticket and rushed out with his coat..
