Chapter 175: Young Master Gu Protects His Wife
Qiao Xi’s expression was calm while her voice was indifferent. “Li Sha isn’t suitable to act as Shen Li.”
Li Sha was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She immediately called President Liu. The assistant director’s expression was ugly and displeased.
“Miss Qiao, it’s true that you’re Young Master Zhou’s woman, but you’re an outsider. You don’t have the right to interfere in our casting selection. You’re not the scriptwriter either. How do you know who’s suitable to act as Shen Li?
“President Liu is an investor in this movie. He only arranged for a supporting role. You have no right to say no!”
Qiao Xi chuckled. “President Liu is investing 50 million?”
When Li Sha heard Qiao Xi’s voice, she immediately exploded. Completely disregarding her image, she roared, “That’s right! If I can’t act as Shen Li, don’t even think about getting this 50 million!”
The manager added, “Director, you know very well what Li Sha’s identity is. That Qiao Xi is just a small character. Any smart person would know how to choose!”
Qiao Xi remained calm. “Li Sha must leave.”
The assistant director’s eyes were filled with anger. “Miss Qiao, what right do you have to speak to us in such a commanding tone? You’re just Young Master Zhou’s lover, and President Liu will pay 50 million for Li Sha. Don’t think of yourself as someone important. We will never offend President Liu because of you!”
Qiao Xi stood up slowly with an indifferent expression. “If you must use Li Sha as Shen Li, then I’ll leave.”
She took out the document and walked toward the director. “In that case, our contract will be void.”
The assistant director was about to speak, but when he took a closer look, his face turned pale—
Contract?
It clearly stated that the scriptwriter had the right to decide on the cast. If the scriptwriter did not agree, they could not use the actor. Otherwise, the contract would automatically be invalidated.
So Qiao Xi was… the scriptwriter?
The assistant director shuddered and stood up abruptly. “You… are the scriptwriter?”
She should only be Zhou Guanjin’s lover. How could she be the scriptwriter?
Li Sha’s eyes were full of surprise. Seeing the assistant director’s change in expression, she immediately shouted, “Qiao Xi is lying! She’s definitely not the scriptwriter! She had no mother since she was young and was kidnapped to the countryside. She can write scripts? Then I’m an international superstar!
“Qiao Xi! Get lost! I feel disgusted just looking at you!”
Li Sha shouted loudly without caring about her image. She took out her phone and was about to call President Liu.
At this moment, the door to the audition venue was pushed open—
A few bodyguards in black suits entered the room. Song Shiyu walked out, bent over, and did everything smoothly.
Gu Zheng walked in steadily.
Qiao Xi paused for a moment.
What was Gu Zheng doing here?
Oh no, she was here to see her senior. If Gu Zheng knew that she was here to meet another man, it would be troublesome!
Gu Zheng’s eyes were indifferent, and his entire body was filled with the aura of a king.
The director’s heart skipped a beat. He was about to step forward when Li Sha rushed over. “Y-Young Master Gu, you’re here. Did President Liu ask you to come?”
Li Sha was pleased.
Young Master Gu must be here for her.
The moment she saw Gu Zheng, Li Sha’s heart skipped a beat. Young Master Gu was rich, powerful, and handsome. He was thousands of times better than President Liu. If she could get together with this man…
Li Sha went up to him and said pretentiously, “Young Master Gu, you didn’t have to personally come. You just had to give the director a call and this matter would’ve been resolved. But I feel so wronged! Someone actually came to find trouble with me…”
Gu Zheng said slowly, “Who’s looking for trouble?”
Hearing that, Li Sha was even more certain that Gu Zheng was here to help her. She instantly burst with joy.
She approached Gu Zheng while swaying her body. “Young Master Gu, it’s her! She said that she’s the scriptwriter and doesn’t want me to play the role of Shen Li. The director has already agreed, but Qiao Xi keeps finding trouble and even wants to chase me away. Such a woman is really too scary!”
Gu Zheng glanced at Li Sha with a mocking look.
However, Li Sha did not sense it at all. She said arrogantly to Qiao Xi, “Do you see this? Young Master Gu is here to help me. You…”
“Don’t be angry.”
Gu Zheng’s voice was lazy and carried a trace of helplessness. “As long as you’re happy, making her disappear is just a matter of giving out the order.”
Everyone sucked in a breath, and Li Sha was even more shocked.
Who… was Young Master Gu talking to?
Was he coaxing a woman?
Li Sha thought that Gu Zheng was talking to her and was instantly overwhelmed.
“Young Master Gu…”
Just as she approached, Gu Zheng quickly walked in front of Qiao Xi. “Did you suffer?”
Li Sha gaped, unable to believe what she was seeing.
How was that possible?
Young Master Gu was actually coaxing Qiao Xi? Was he crazy?
Qiao Xi was silent for a moment. She was only thinking that she didn’t seem to have done anything extreme before Gu Zheng entered.
Fortunately, her fierce image was not exposed in front of Gu Zheng.
