Li Piao had spent a lot of effort to get the role of the second female lead, so she naturally wasn’t willing to give up the role that she had fought so hard to get.

Besides, who was Chen Kang?

He was a highly influential figure in the entire entertainment industry, and whether it was directors, screenwriters, or famous actors, they all had to give him a face.

Once the paparazzi found out that she was fired by the production team by Director Chen Kang, the entire entertainment industry would know what she had done, and her reputation would be ruined.

At that time, no director would be willing to cast her in a movie. The reputation that she had worked hard to establish would be destroyed.

Once she was kicked out of the production team, the company would not be able to defend her since they could not afford to offend a prominent director like Chen Kang.

After all, if the company’s higher-ups wanted to insert people into Director Chen’s production team, they would not dare to offend Director Chen.

Therefore, the company would only give up on her. The more Li Piao thought about it, the more afraid she became. She glared fiercely at Shen Wanwan, who was standing beside her.

She turned around and hurried in the direction that Director Chen Kang had gone. Shen Wanwan had better wait for her. Once she had convinced Chen Kang, she would teach Shen Wanwan a lesson.

Shen Wanwan, who had been stared at for no reason, shrugged helplessly. After briefly greeting Yun Chen, she walked back to her resting area and sat down.

“Wanwan!”

Shen Wanwan had just sat down when to her surprise, Yun Chen followed her. Although she did not understand what he wanted, she still generously shared half of her snacks with him when she saw that he was sitting opposite her.

“Brother Yun, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?”

“Well, it’s not anything important…”

Yun Chen felt a little embarrassed, and his earlobes, as white as jade, turned red as blood dripped from them.

“Brother Yun, if you have something to say, just say it. I’ll help you if I can.”

Seeing Yun Chen hesitate, Shen Wanwan smiled. Although they weren’t very familiar, she had some contact with Yun Chen.

She found that although he seemed aloof on the surface, he was actually warm-hearted and very thoughtful. He was someone worth getting to know.

In addition, since he was once trained by Brother Lin. The two of them were also senior and junior siblings. As long as Yun Chen asked, Shen Wanwan would help no matter what.

“It’s nothing serious. I just wanted to ask if you were free tonight. I wanted to treat you to a meal. I have something to ask you.”

Yun Chen was too embarrassed to look at Shen Wanwan after he finished speaking. He grabbed the snacks on the table and opened them, stuffing them into his mouth.

Underneath his calm facade, his heart was pounding. While waiting for a reply, Yun Chen could only feel his heart beating very fast.

It was as if his heart would jump out of his chest at any moment and startle Shen Wanwan.

“Sure, I’ll invite Brother Lin and the others. Brother Yun, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Shen Wanwan didn’t refuse his invitation. She did not think that Yun Chen was interested in her for wanting to treat her to a meal. On the contrary, she simply believed that Yun Chen had something to ask her.

“That’s great. I’ll send you the location.”

Yun Chen breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he heard the answer he wanted. It was good that she agreed. He was really afraid that Shen Wanwan would not agree to his request!

“Okay, Brother Yun.”

Shen Wanwan nodded. They didn’t have much time to chat as the director was already calling for them with a loudspeaker. As the lead actors, they hurried over to continue filming.

After a simple touch-up by the makeup artist, the next scene continued filming.

The male and female lead roles in “Imperial City” were being filmed passionately. The second female lead, Li Piao had used underhanded methods to win her role as the second female lead and also questioned the director’s decisions. As a result, she was dismissed from the crew.

Her manager was shocked upon receiving the news, never expecting that Director Chen would dismiss Li Piao.

After receiving the news, Li Piao’s manager rushed to the set. The manager wanted to know what had happened. After hearing about the situation, she was enraged.

“Li Piao, you’re too arrogant!”

The manager looked at Li Piao fiercely. But because the producer was present, she couldn’t say anything. She could only grit her teeth and look at Li Piao before turning to speak to the producer.

“Producer Wang, we’ve been friends for so many years. You can’t do this. Could you please put in a good word for me in front of Director Chen?”

The manager begged Producer Wang, looking at him expectantly, hoping he could put in a good word for her. For Producer Wang’s sake, Director Chen might forgive Li Piao.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but how could I dare to go against Director Chen? You don’t know what your artiste said. If I were to hear her words, I would explode with anger,” said Producer Wang, who had never liked Li Piao. He always felt that she had malicious intentions and was constantly plotting something. He thought it was just his imagination, but he didn’t expect it to be true.

Now that he had the opportunity to kick her out of the production team, only a fool would speak up for her. He wondered what was wrong with her brain. She dared to contradict Director Chen like this. How ridiculous. How many people wanted to be a supporting actor for Director Chen?

With Li Piao’s terrible acting skills, how did she get the position of the new Best Actress? Everyone knew this fact.

Despite all this, he decided not to expose her. Li Piao thought highly of herself to dare to contradict Director Chen and even question his decisions.

Was Director Chen someone she could question?

Did she not realize how bad her acting skills were?

“Producer Wang, please put in a good word for me. I promise there won’t be a next time. Li Piao knows she was wrong. Please help me.”

The manager kept begging Producer Wang to put in a good word for Li Piao. Looking at Li Piao’s manager’s appearance, Producer Wang gritted his teeth.

No matter how much he hated Li Piao, Producer Wang still gritted his teeth and agreed.

“Alright, I’ll help you plead for mercy, but I won’t beg Director Chen. Whether she can stay or not is up to her luck.”

Producer Wang finished speaking and looked deeply at Li Piao’s manager before turning to leave. He walked quickly, not giving the other party a chance to speak.

As they were former classmates and Li Piao’s manager had helped him during his difficult times, and also considering that the manager did not make unreasonable demands, Producer Wang decided to approach Director Chen.

“Director Chen, there’s something I want to discuss with you…”

But even before he could finish, Chen Kang knew what he wanted to say and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt and said, “Producer Wang, if it’s about Li Piao, I don’t want to hear it, and don’t ask me to help her. You know my personality, and I was foolish to have allowed her into our crew.”

As Chen Kang became more and more angry, he couldn’t help but wonder how he let such a person onto the crew.

“Director Chen, you know my relationship with her manager. She helped me during my difficult times, and I owe her a favor,” explained Producer Wang with a sigh. He didn’t like the feeling of owing someone a favor, and he couldn’t refuse when someone came to ask for help.

He thought it was better to return the favor now instead of constantly worrying about it. It wasn’t good for him.
