“To put it simply, that’s the case.” Xia Ningxi spent about five minutes explaining the whole story.
The two elders were both surprised and amazed when they heard that. “You mean that you wrote a book on the Internet and it happened to catch the eye of an entertainment company. Now, they’re preparing to film it into a television drama?”
Xia Ningxi blushed slightly and nodded.
“Could that entertainment company be…”
“Yes, it’s my company.”
The two elders fell silent.
A moment later, Luo Baogeng asked, “Xiao Xi just said that there was another director for this show?”
“Yes.”
“Who are you looking for?”
“Director Pan You’an.”
Luo Baogeng seemed to have some impression of this name. He frowned and said, “Then why are you looking for me now?”
“Director Pan stood us up.”
“He stood you up?”
“Initially, everything was settled except for the signing of the contract. However, the day before the signing of the contract, Director Pan suddenly said that he was not going to direct the drama anymore.”
Luo Baogeng was not a young man who had not seen the world. He could immediately tell that something was amiss.
“What was his reason?”
“The reason he gave was that the intensity of the shoot is too great. He’s too old to keep up.”
It sounded ridiculous here. If he was really worried about this, he wouldn’t have told anyone about it at the start. He only went back on his words when he was about to sign the contract.
Luo Baogeng sneered and asked, “What’s the real reason?”
“He took on another drama, and that drama happened to be of the same genre as ours. In fact, it’s a drama that my rival company invested in. The female lead in the drama… is a sworn enemy of mine who has been holding grudges for a long time.”
“Enemies who have been at odds with each other for a long time? Could they be…” Xia Ningxi did not recognize Su Yayan and Huo Chenhuan at first, but when she calmed down, she realized that they were President Su and her husband, who had caused a huge commotion online.
They had been enemies for a long time, and their enemy was a woman. The first person Xia Ningxi thought of was a mistress!
Su Yayan smiled at her silently.
But Xia Ningxi already had an answer. Her eyes were slightly dark and her expression was slightly ugly.
Not only was it for the sake of her own efforts, but it was also for the sake of a certain someone’s despicable means.
Luo Baogeng saw the change in Xia Ningxi’s expression and narrowed his eyes. “You knew about our relationship with Xiao Xi before coming?”
Su Yayan was startled and replied without hesitation, “No, I don’t know.” But she wasn’t sure if Huo Chenhuan didn’t know either.
Luo Baogeng thought so too. He didn’t doubt Su Yayan’s words and only looked at Huo Chenhuan.
Huo Chenhuan neither admitted nor denied. From a certain perspective, he had already given an answer.
Luo Baogeng’s expression darkened and he did not probe further.
Song Linghua had already put on her reading glasses and took the script from Xia Ningxi’s hands to read.
After a while, she seemed to have realized something and said with a fierce face, “Xiao Xi, you mixed Qing Yi with Hua Dan again. How many times have I told you? You can’t remember this.”
Xia Ningxi stood in front of Song Linghua with a bitter face, like a primary school student who was not serious in her studies and was brought to the office by the form teacher for a lecture.
The reason why she was so agitated when she saw the script on the table was mainly because she was afraid that Song Linghua would correct her mistake after reading it.
It had to be known that the days when she was learning opera from Song Linghua were the happiest and most torturous days of her life. As a result, she did not dare to mention to anyone that she had learned from Song Linghua and only dared to secretly fantasize about it in novels.
