Universal Internatiоnаl Hotel.
Filming loсаtion for the drаmа “Still Like You.”
The door to the dressing room was suddenly kicked open.
Before Chen Qingzhi could react.
A sharp, crisp slap landed on her face.
A large patch immediately swelled on Chen Qingzhi’s fair cheek.
Liu Jing, the head director of the crew, shook his hand and said smugly:
“Well, Teacher Chen, the hot search has been up for two hours, and you still haven’t left?”
Last night was Liu Jing’s birthday party. The female lead, Chen Qingzhi, didn’t attend; her assistant went instead.
Liu Jing had some ulterior motives and, under the pretense of being drunk, tried to drag Chen Qingzhi’s assistant to a hotel room.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Qingzhi rushed to the venue and beat Liu Jing up.
The incident even made it to the hot search.
Having lost face, Liu Jing naturally couldn’t swallow his anger.
Early in the morning, he barged into the dressing room with a group of people and caught Chen Qingzhi off guard with a slap.
Chen Qingzhi’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes turned cold as she abruptly stood up.
She had never been slapped like this in her life!
At this moment, she didn’t care how many people from the crew were present.
Chen Qingzhi flexed her wrist, took two steps forward, and prepared to retaliate:
“Liu Jing, are you tired of living? Do you want to get beaten up again?”
Chen Qingzhi knew a few moves and had been ruthless the night before.
Liu Jing took half a step back, his tone still arrogant:
“Causing trouble at the venue, showing violent tendencies—the production side already has executives listing you as a high-risk artist.”
“If you know what’s good for you, pack your things and get out!”
“After all, you’re just a decorative piece in a wealthy family. The hot search has been up for so long, and your in-laws haven’t made a move.”
“Everyone knows Lu Jin married you just to spite his ex-fiancée. Do you really think you’re something, putting on airs on set?”
Hearing Lu Jin’s name made Chen Qingzhi even angrier.
That morning, she had dominated the top five spots on the hot search, with traffic rivaling that of a top-tier star, all thanks to her so-called husband.
None of it was good news.
The last time she and Lu Jin made the hot search was when they announced their marriage. There were no blessings, just plenty of naysayers.
Chen Qingzhi, a fourth-tier star who gained some fame through hype, and Lu Jin, the head of the Star Continent Group, had been married for two years with no interaction and zero public appearances together.
It perfectly confirmed the predictions of the haters.
Now, with people seizing the opportunity to stir trouble, she was being bullied by a scoundrel like Liu Jing.
Seeing Chen Qingzhi remain silent, Liu Jing’s words grew even more vulgar:
“Teacher Chen, what Young Master Lu can’t give you, I can. I guarantee you’ll be sleeping soundly with me.”
“My next project is an S+ blockbuster. If you just behave, giving you a supporting female role is no problem at all.”
Most third- or fourth-tier stars with little status would choose to settle things quietly in such situations.
Chen Qingzhi refused to back down. Her assistant, Su Qian, who had been trembling with fear nearby, rushed over and tugged at her sleeve, whispering:
“My dear, I know you’re a force to be reckoned with, and you stood up for me, but at least be mindful of the consequences.”
“If this drama falls through, our studio employees’ year-end bonuses will be gone!”
Chen Qingzhi pulled Su Qian behind her and sneered:”Director Liu’s prowess, I’ve heard a bit about it—it’s really not that impressive, so let’s not bring that up.”
“I don’t know where you get the confidence to make such bold claims.”
Perhaps no one expected the usually image-conscious actress to speak so bluntly just to shut someone down.
The onlookers couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Liu Jing seemed suddenly struck where it hurt. He had intended to thoroughly humiliate Chen Qingzhi, but instead found himself cornered by her counterattack.
Furious and flustered, Liu Jing snapped:
“Contract marriages like this are common in the industry. Don’t think I don’t know—your status as the young mistress of the Lu family is flimsy at best. Stop pretending. You two aren’t even a real couple!”
The words “real couple” ignited Chen Qingzhi’s anger.
All day, whether online or on set, people had been relentlessly reminding her of her fragile, plastic marriage with Lu Jin.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t angry—she had simply been holding it in.
Now, seizing this opportunity, Chen Qingzhi finally erupted:
“Contract my ass! My husband and I are deeply in love—when we meet, it’s like sparks flying, inseparable!”
“Men like you, toothpick-sized and all, can get as far away from me as possible!”
