Bai Moli's agent, indignantly challenged.
She knew that Bai Moli's image was unique in the entertainment circle, and no one could replace her.
Long Ying directly handed the script for the female lead to Bai Moli, without any audition.
She didn't believe that with Moli's status, they couldn't push out that ugly monster.
But the problem was, the staff at Long Ying dared not relax their stance either.
Shen Xubai was the male lead chosen by the Five Great Killing Gods; anyone who dared to suggest a replacement would be inviting trouble from those five old guys!
In a standoff.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
"Director Fang!"
Everyone was surprised that Fang Wanshan had appeared here.
Normally, he only showed up at the annual meeting or shareholder meetings; what wind had blown him here today?
Upon seeing him, Bai Moli's agent, pulling Bai Moli along, went forward to curry favor, "Moli, this is Director Fang. If you've been wronged, tell Director Fang!"
Bai Moli understood and said with a sweet laugh, "Director Fang, —"
"No need to say more," Fang Wanshan waved his hand, interrupting her directly. "Miss Bai won't have to suffer any grievances. The female lead will be replaced."
Bai Moli: !!!
Agent: ???
After speaking, Fang Wanshan gestured with his chin to the staff, "Go issue an announcement: the female lead is pending. Auditions will be held tomorrow to select someone."
Seeing this, it was clear he was serious!
The agent's face turned pale with fright. She hurriedly chased after him, "Director Fang, that's not what I meant. Moli didn't say she wouldn't act!"
Fang Wanshan glanced at her coldly, "Then who were you threatening? Threatening Long Ying? You have quite the nerve."
Agent: "..."
She was so intimidated by Fang Wanshan's aura that she dared not even breathe, let alone explain further.
Only after Fang Wanshan had finished arranging things and left.
Did the agent regain her senses.
She slapped herself hard.
Oh my god,
How did this escalate to Moli being replaced!
That was Jiang Xing, such a huge IP, and such a high salary!
...
Fang Wanshan passed by the company.
He had originally just intended to discuss something with Ning Xi.
He didn't expect to hear from his assistant that Bai Moli was causing trouble upstairs, demanding Shen Xubai be replaced.
Since those five old guys had agreed to use Shen Xubai, it meant his acting skills were definitely not an issue. Moreover, Ning Xi had guaranteed that Shen Xubai would change for the better, so Fang Wanshan had every reason to believe Shen Xubai truly would.
Fang Wanshan was happy to support Shen Ningxi in this situation.
Fang Wanshan's appearance silenced any further objections from anyone present.
He walked up to Shen Ningxi, his attitude softening by a hundred degrees, "Ning Xi, are you satisfied?"
Shen Ningxi nodded, "Satisfied."
Extremely satisfied.
Bai Moli.
She missed her destined benefactor and even kicked them when they were down. This is what it means to cut off one's own path and dismantle one's ladder to success!
Don't forget, water can save a fire, but it can also extinguish a flame.
Shen Ningxi patted her small bag and stood up, "Alright, this matter is settled. Let's move on to the next stop."
Fang Wanshan smiled and asked, "Where are you going? Uncle Fang will give you a ride."
Shen Ningxi heard this, stopped, and turned her head to look at him, "Uncle Fang, do you need something from me?"
Fang Wanshan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
The two conversed familiarly.
To everyone else watching, it was like watching a horror movie.
Where did things go wrong?
How did Director Fang become so approachable and easy to get along with?
This plot is unfolding incorrectly!
Bai Moli's agent's eyes were about to pop out.
Who was this little girl?
She clearly didn't look like she came from a wealthy background, so why did Director Fang look at her with respect and admiration?!
...
Bai Moli did not want to cooperate with Shen Xubai.
But she didn't want to give up Jiang Xing either!
She thought that by making a scene, they would definitely replace Shen Xubai, but how could she herself be replaced!
This was going to be a complete loss of face!
"Sister Fang, what should we do!"
Agent Sister Fang hadn't recovered from her shock.
How could Fang Wanshan, a figure at the peak, suddenly become so humble?
Seeing that she didn't respond, Bai Moli called out again in annoyance, "Sister Fang, are you listening to me! Hurry and get the female lead role back for me!"
Sister Fang came to her senses and gasped, "Director Fang has spoken. It's impossible..."
"What are you saying! The salary is fifty million, and it's already been announced publicly that it's me. If I don't get to act, where will I put my face!"
"There's no other way."
Sister Fang sighed and shook her head helplessly.
Bai Moli instantly burst into tears, "That crazy Shen Xubai, if he can't have me, he wants to ruin me!"
Sister Fang quickly shushed her, "My dear, don't speak ill of Shen Xubai anymore! I think his sister is quite capable. Let's not offend her again."
Bai Moli wiped her tears, "He was the one who provoked me!"
She stomped her high heels in anger and ran out of the interview room.
But as soon as she stepped out, she ran into a man as solid as a wall.
Bai Moli hit her head, feeling the pain.
Even more infuriated, who was blocking the way so carelessly!
She was about to scold him, but when she looked up, their eyes met, and it was an acquaintance.
Shen Xubai heard that Director Fang had something to discuss with Ning Xi.
So he let them go ahead and went to bid farewell to Teacher Hu Ying.
He didn't expect to run into Bai Moli here, having been a step too late.
Bai Moli, with her brown curly hair and a white tight-fitting dress, was now clutching her forehead, her eyes red with grievance, her nose also flushed, truly a pitiable sight.
Shen Xubai took two steps back, "Miss Bai, please watch your step."
Bai Moli saw that it was Shen Xubai.
She scoffed inwardly.
A simp, so he was deliberately waiting here to block her.
She looked at his still dark face, filled with disgust.
But she still managed a perfunctory smile.
"President Shen, long time no see."
Shen Xubai replied indifferently, "Mm."
This attitude greatly displeased Bai Moli.
However, remembering Sister Fang's instructions, she had to continue pretending.
"President Shen, are you still angry with me? What people said online back then was nonsense; I never said anything..."
Shen Xubai took another two steps back, "Oh."
Bai Moli had never been treated with such coldness.
She gritted her teeth.
For Jiang Xing, she had to try harder. Perhaps this ugly man could help her win back the female lead role.
Bai Moli mentally prepared herself.
After a while, as if making a great sacrifice, she lowered her head and made a suggestive invitation, "President Shen, I'd like to talk. Are you free tonight?"
