Chapter 494: Chapter 494

Although Zuo Yuqing didn’t explicitly state her intentions, anyone with a brain could see what her series of reactions and the tasks she assigned to her assistant were all about.

Suddenly, the expressions of the people on set changed somewhat, and they looked at Zuo Yuqing with a hint of strangeness in their eyes.

An investor could be said to be the most important person on set, even the Actress wouldn’t dare to openly oppose the investor, because without the investor, the movie could not be made despite having a director and actors.

Thus, after many years in the acting circle, everyone understood clearly that you could offend anyone, just not the investor.

Not only because an unhappy investor might withdraw their invested money and necessary resources for the set, but an investor with strong connections could potentially blacklist or even freeze out an artist.

However, Zuo Yuqing’s actions were not just about offending the investor, but were also a direct slap in the face of Su Yingxue.

Sister Ling watched Zuo Yuqing in front of her, first startled, then as she understood, her face showed not a trace of anger, but was instead full of indulgence and pampering. She smiled and then nodded at the assistant standing there, a bit overwhelmed by Zuo Yuqing’s instructions, and ordered lightly, "Off you go."

The assistant was immediately taken aback. She had been frightened by Zuo Yuqing’s order, unsure if she should follow it, because even though she was just a newcomer to the workplace and not yet deeply influenced by the entertainment industry, she was very clear about the importance of the investor to a production.

Yuqing had finally become an Actress with great difficulty, and even if this young girl hadn’t gone through the hardships herself, she could understand them, because normally Yuqing worked so hard.

If she were to be blacklisted just like that, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

Just as she was about to object, when her gaze fell upon Su Yingxue’s face across from her, which was becoming somewhat fierce, and she thought about how that woman had just smeared Yuqing, she couldn’t help feeling furious. She immediately nodded in agreement and headed straight for Zuo Yuqing’s dressing room.

Su Yingxue’s face twisted slightly; Zuo Yuqing’s actions were really a slap in her own face, and she wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear that woman apart.

"Zuo Yuqing, do you not want to work in this circle anymore?" Before Su Yingxue could get angry, a voice laden with dissatisfaction and anger came from behind.

Upon seeing who it was, the director’s face turned somewhat unsightly, but it wasn’t appropriate to lash out, he only turned his gaze towards Zuo Yuqing, his expression unreadable.

When Su Yingxue saw who had arrived, her face immediately returned to normal, even forcing a strained smile and politely calling out, "Assistant Director!"

The person was none other than the assistant director of the production, a woman in her thirties who appeared well-maintained, dressed in tailored designer clothing.

Zuo Yuqing, hearing this voice, looked over unperturbed, and first noticed the tailor-made dress and high heels. Many times Zuo Yuqing really couldn’t understand if this assistant director was here to shoot a film or to vacation.

Although she is an Actress, she doesn’t dress up that grandly when she comes to the set on regular days. More often than not, she wears casual clothes, occasionally putting on a dress when she feels like it.

To be frank, Zuo Yuqing had a long-standing disdain for this assistant director because she would often create difficulties for her, both overtly and covertly. Sometimes, even when the wire-flying scenes she filmed were quite good, the assistant director would still not be satisfied and insist on retakes.

Just how exhausting and challenging wire-flying is, those who have done it surely understand. But no matter how aggrieved she felt, Zuo Yuqing always held back because she was just an actress.

The assistant director nodded at Su Yingxue, then turned to look at Zuo Yuqing again with that same dissatisfied expression. Before Yuqing could say anything, she blurted out, "If you don’t want to work in this crew, you can just pack up and leave. Do you think we can’t shoot this drama without you? Trying to throw around your Actress clout?"

Hearing this, some onlookers gleefully reveled in the drama, especially Su Yingxue, who nearly burst into laughter at the assistant director’s scolding of Zuo Yuqing.

Upon hearing the assistant director’s words, Zuo Yuqing was first taken aback, then laughed angrily, "So, are you planning to kick me out of the crew?"

Damn it, Zuo Yuqing has been acting for nearly ten years and has never encountered someone .

The director, not far away, turned pale upon hearing the assistant director’s words. His face became very unsightly, and he quickly stood up and strode over, furiously reprimanding the assistant director, "Since when is it your turn to call the shots in this crew? I’m still the director here!"

Fuck, who said this drama doesn’t need Zuo Yuqing? Are we supposed to kick out Zuo Yuqing and reshoot?

Moreover, the temperament of the lead actress in this drama can only be embodied by Zuo Yuqing herself. If someone else takes over, it’s uncertain whether they could convey that unique temperament of the character.

It was quite an effort to invite Zuo Yuqing to act in the first place.

The director had already made up his mind that the drama could do without the investment from the Su Group; if necessary, they could look for new investors later, but absolutely could not do without Zuo Yuqing.

The assistant director, who had initially wanted to argue with Zuo Yuqing, suddenly faced the director’s outburst, which made her complexion turn sour. Trying to suppress her own rage, she retorted, "I am the assistant director of this drama. Who says I don’t have the right to make decisions?"

Upon hearing this, the director, furious to the point of laughter, coldly said, "Do I need to spell out how you got into this crew and became the assistant director? Fuck, you have neither the ability nor the insight. I’ve been fed up with you for a long time. Shall we see who the company chooses to keep, you or me?" For more chapters visıt 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩

Lu Jingchen, standing not far away, halted in his tracks upon witnessing the scene and instead took out his phone to dial the number for Zuo Group.
