It was no wonder that Xin Xin and Mr. Chen hated her so much.

Fang Ting thought about all this aggrievedly. Her face was red like a cooked duck!

How could Ming Mai not know what she was thinking? After letting out a long sigh, she explained earnestly, ‘As far as I know, ‘Female Assassin’ has always been Xia Wei’s web drama. It’s not what Xin Xin told you! You were deceived by Xin Xin.”

As Ming Mai spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and continued without stopping, “I can’t support you fighting with Xia Wei for this drama! Firstly, there’s no need. Secondly, I don’t want to look for trouble, so give up on it right now! Also, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t think of becoming enemies with Xia Wei! She’s not an ordinary person. She’ll definitely become famous in the future. We’d better not offend her, understand?”

Fang Ting looked at Ming Mai in surprise, as if she did not understand why she valued Xia Wei so much.

Ming Mai was considered one of the top managers in the entertainment industry. She rarely praised a female celebrity in front of anyone. Xia Wei was the first!

This was also the reason why Fang Ting was surprised. Ming Mai seemed to really admire Xia Wei.

Fang Ting naturally did not dare to disobey Ming Mai. Although she was still puzzled and angry, she nodded obediently to show that she understood.

Ming Mai heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking about the confidential information she had just learned from the producer, she became even more afraid of Xia Wei.

After a long silence, she instructed Fang Ting, “I’ll treat Xia Wei and Wang Ming to dinner tonight. Apologize to Xia Wei properly! If you mess it up again, see how I deal with you.”

“But Mr. Chen instructed us to tell Director Xu…” We haven’t mentioned to him about replacing Xia Wei as the female lead of Female Assassin!

Actually, this was the ultimate goal of their trip. What happened before was just a cover.

“Then do you listen to Chen Yuan or me?” Ming Mai asked anxiously in a low voice before Fang Ting could finish her sentence.

Fang Ting was stunned. After a while, she replied, “I… I’ll listen to you, Sister Ming!”

Ming Mai glanced at her and said calmly, “Just listen to me. Then do as 1 say. I won’t harm you.”

Fang Ting nodded timidly and did not say anything else.

Xia Wei naturally did not know what happened to these two ‘uninvited guests’. In fact, she could not be bothered to think too much about these trivial matters.

She was not in a good state the entire afternoon. She only wanted to quickly finish filming this scene and return to the hotel to rest. Her waist began to hurt faintly again. She must have twisted it when filming the outdoor fighting scene just now!

At 7 pm, the sky was already slowly darkening. Director Xu called for the stage supervisor to quickly prepare. When he turned around and looked at Xia Wei, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Xia Wei’s expression. “Xia Wei, what’s wrong with you? Why does your face look so pale? Does your waist hurt again? I… I’ll call a doctor for you!”

“Don’t!” Xia Wei looked up at Xu Kai and hurriedly stopped him. “There are so many people on set. Director, don’t shout! I don’t want everyone to worry, nor do 1 want to drag down the production team’s progress. I have a physiotherapist myself. 1 should be fine after resting for a while. Go ahead and do your work! Just call me when filming starts!”

When Xia Wei was stubborn, very few people could persuade her, not even the director.

Seeing that Xia Wei’s attitude was firm, Xu Kai could not force her to go down and rest. He nagged worriedly for a while before turning to leave.

There were staff members who were very close to the event location. When they heard Xia Wei and Xu Kai’s conversation, they looked at the valiant Xia Wei in her costume and changed their opinion of this shockingly popular female celebrity!

It turned out that Xia Wei was really not as pretentious as the rumors online said. She wasn’t a female celebrity who couldn’t take hardship.

Marketing news was indeed harmful!

Xia Wei, who was reading the news, naturally did not know what these staff members were thinking. After she finished talking to Director Xu, she kept staring at the cell phone screen in silence. Her expression was cold, and no one knew what she was thinking.

When Lin Yi returned from fetching the hot water, she happened to see Xia Wei in a daze. She thought for a moment and asked softly, “Sister Wei, what are you thinking about? I’ve brought the hot water. You can take your medicine now.”

Xia Wei came back to her senses when she heard that. She casually turned off the chat interface with Jian Tan and pretended that nothing had happened..
