Chapter 549: Take Those Clothes Off

“What time is her scene?” w.a.n.g Cai asked Zhou Zhen.

Since Zhou Zhen had no idea about that, she chuckled and brought on her charm. “Mr. w.a.n.g, just a little longer. She will be here soon. Can you overlook this for my sake?”

She wanted everyone to know that she was Mr. w.a.n.g’s favorite, and he would bend the knee to whatever she said.

“Ask your friend.” w.a.n.g Cai started grimacing.

Still not able to read the room, Zhou Zhen called her friend to get some answers before turning to the director and saying, “She said it’s at half-past two, but she’s right at the entrance now. She’ll be here in a bit.”

With that, Zhou Zhen gave Shen Xi an aggravating look, expressing to the latter to buzz off now that her girl was here.

“Get out. Tell your friend not to come.” w.a.n.g Cai then instructed the makeup artist to style Shen Xi without even getting her consent.

“Mr. w.a.n.g.” Zhou Zhen cried while stomping her foot. Anxious, she came in his way. “She’s already at the entrance and will be here soon. Just give her two minutes.”

Refusing to give her the time of day, w.a.n.g Cai walked around her and had the lighting team, props team, and cameramen perform last checks before they got the reel rolling.

The a.s.sociate director cleared his throat as a hint of jubilance flickered in his eyes. Sure, Mr. w.a.n.g appreciated good talent but only to a certain extent.

Mr. w.a.n.g’s biggest pet peeve was tardiness. A draconian when it came to punctuality, he was never late and demanded the same from others, especially those working under him. He would not budge on his principles even if the king begged him, let alone Zhou Zhen.

The crew, actors, and extras on-site were thrilled that Zhou Zhen had to s*ck it. They were hoping for the day Zhou Zhen would fall from grace after the c.o.c.ky and defiant att.i.tude she pulled on everyone.

Despite Zhou Zhen’s efforts to beg, borrow, or steal, w.a.n.g Cai did not budge. Blowing her top, Zhou Zhen dashed to the dressing room and uttered in spite, “So you’re not going to change your mind, huh? You can’t use that woman either!”

The a.s.sociate director immediately called w.a.n.g Cai’s attention as Zhou Zhen crashed into the dressing room. It was not like the a.s.sociate director could do anything since he could not afford the consequences of rubbing Mr. w.a.n.g’s golden girl the wrong way.

However, he was also afraid that something bad might happen. The young girl was only a fan here to see her idol and did nothing wrong while Zhou Zhen was the one stirring sh*t out of nothing.

Shen Xi was up for the task, thinking of it as helping Yu Yuanxi to impress the director. She went along for hair and makeup.

She just had a change of wardrobe when Zhou Zhen barged into the dressing room and arrogantly pointed at her. “Don’t you dare steal the part! Take off those clothes!”

Shen Xi gazed at the madwoman and curled a taunting smile. “It’s the director you need to talk to.”

“Mr. w.a.n.g promised the role to my friend.” Rage flushed Zhou Zhen’s complexion as she darted a stern glare at Shen Xi. She was ready to get up there and rip the clothes off of Shen Xi.

Yu Yuanxi suddenly came in between them. While staring down at the woman, a solemn and somber expression made a mark on his usually gentle face for once. Even his voice was chilly. “Zhou Zhen, you’re going too far. The role was a.s.signed by Mr. w.a.n.g. Go speak to him if you have a problem with it.”
