Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Today, Lei Bing made a rare visit. She was standing in a corner and scolding Shen Sisi’s assistant. “What’s wrong with you? I asked you to take care of Shen Sisi, not to complain. Can you do it or not?”
“I can’t do it anymore, Sister Lei Bing. I really can’t do what she asked. I’ve been under a lot of pressure recently.” The assistant cried uncontrollably. She choked and said, “No one likes me here. Sisi isn’t happy with me either. I’m facing mental torture here every day. I really can’t do it anymore.”
“You have to do it even if you can’t!” Lei Bing sneered and said coldly, “Don’t forget that you’ve signed the contract. Can you afford the penalty? If you can’t afford it, then do your job properly!”
The assistant had a complete meltdown. She didn’t even have the strength to cry thinking about the great amount of penalty. Wu Yu walked over with a frown. His eyes showed disgust as he saw the assistant. He lamented, “Why are you crying? You’re acting like you’re in a funeral. That’s so bad for the fortune!” If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhuang Li sent the assistant here, he would have told her to get lost.
“Young girls nowadays are so weak mentally. They are just being dramatic,” said Lei Bing as she observed Wu Yu’s expression. Noticing his bad mood, she waved her hand and told her assistant to leave. Then, she walked over and asked Wu Yu, “What’s going on? Why the ugly faces?”!!
“It’s all because of Zheng Youcai!” Wu Yu gritted his teeth and showed the news to Lei Bing. “Whenever I see him, I felt uneasy!” He didn’t mind admitting that he was narrow-minded. He was jealous of Zheng Youcai who used to be so high profile in school that nobody noticed him! Only by completely surpassing Zheng Youcai, Wu Yu could feel his success.
It was not only to satisfy himself psychologically, but it also signified his own success.
After Lei Bing read the online news, she was a little puzzled. “These are all negative news. Why are you angry? Isn’t it a good thing?”
“What do you know about this?” Wu Yu took back his phone and said grumpily, “There is no positive news or negative news in the entertainment circle. Being in the entertainment circle, we are only afraid to have no news. No matter good or bad news, it is a good thing to bring fame. With fame, one can rise with popularity.” He snorted coldly, there was anger in his eyes. “Whether it is good or bad, I will not allow Zheng Youcai to rise!”
“Hey, you’re a big director now. Why are you still afraid of Zheng Youcai?” Lei Bing smiled charmingly. She leaned into Wu Yu’s arms and whispered into his ear, “Isn’t it good that Han Yin is not acting professionally? They’re already shooting an unpopular movie. Now, they’re not even shooting properly. No one would watch the movie. Then, Zheng Youcai will soon disappear.”
Lei Bing was right, but… Wu Yu frowned and said worriedly, “What if some people enjoy this kind of movie? For example, many people called the movie I shot a while ago a bad movie but they still bought tickets to watch it.” That was human nature. The more it was criticized, the more curious people became. They would be eager to see how bad it was. Although the movie had a bad reputation, it still made a lot of money in the end.
This was also why Wu Yu allowed Shen Sisi to torture her assistant as she pleased. If they could make money just by filming anything, who would be willing to take filming seriously? Besides taking a lot of effort, it would also offend the actors and their backers. It was fine as long as they finished acting. They would still make money and kept the actors happy. It would be a win-win.
“How can Zheng Youcai compare to you? You’re a famous director whereas he’s a nobody. What’s your status in the entertainment industry? What’s his status?” Lei Bing curled her lips in disdain. From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on Wu Yu’s petty manner. Just because he had been suppressed by Zheng Youcai in university, Wu Yu became so jealous and paranoid about his every single action. Zheng Youcai’s name had almost become Wu Yu’s inner demon.
Even if she didn’t like it, Lei Bing relied on Wu Yu to earn money. She leaned seductively in Wu Yu’s arms and gave him an idea with a smile. “If you care about Zheng Youcai so much, why don’t we just make up some news and snatch the attention so that no one has time to care about him?”
