Chapter 263: Rehire Ye Xingling

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was said that many stars were competing in shooting the advertisement for Meteor Wings.

At the start, the searching process was very smooth. Many stars were willing to be hired at a lower rate. Shooting for such a luxurious and stylish perfume would increase one’s popularity and status. Who would not covet the opportunity?

Unfortunately, it was just like the time when Meteor Wings was looking for a spokesperson. There were many applicants, but there was no one who could pass the selection round.

Dancing in the pool was very difficult. Even if a famous female celebrity tried it, she could not even finish the entire routine. The celebrities either looked awful during the shooting or could not even stand up steadily. There were even celebrities who fell into the water when they were dancing, and many companies were asking the Gu Family for compensation.

Gu Lin had a terrible headache.

“Useless! All of you are useless!” She threw a tantrum in the film studio.

The head director also had a headache. Things went smoothly when they used Ye Xingling in the shoot, but new problems kept cropping up unexpectedly. “How about we rehire Ye Xingling?” He carefully suggested to Gu Lin.

Gu Lin glared at him ferociously. “Do you not want to be the head director anymore?!”

The head director shut up. He could not risk provoking the moronic Miss Gu.

Director Qian Yong and the assistant director were also entangled in the situation. At the start, when they saw how gracefully Ye Xingling danced in the pool, they thought that the dance was very easy, and any amateur dancer would be able to replace her. However, unexpectedly, none of the female stars who participated in the audition could do it, and even told them, “The dance is not difficult? This is probably one of the most difficult types of dance.”

“Miss Gu, what should we do now?” Qian Yong anxiously tried to get Gu Lin’s opinion. Now that the situation had turned out this way, he was also worried. The release date was approaching quickly, and the other new commercials by the Gu Financial Magnate were already released, causing the public to anticipate the final advertisement in the series. If they messed up, it would definitely cause an uproar.

“What else can we do?!” Miss Gu stomped her feet. “Have I hired you for nothing? Quickly help me think of something!”

A group of people was cursing Gu Lin in their hearts. The commercial shooting was so unsuccessful because she had a quarrel with Ye Xingling, but when it turned out that she made the wrong decision, she depended on her innocent subordinates to help her clean up her mess.

However, there was no better solution.

“How about we change the scene or the choreography?” The assistant director suggested.

“How can we change it?” Miss Gu’s eyes lit up as if she found a straw to clutch at.

The assistant director finally felt that he had a use and was pleased with himself. “It’s simple. We can change the pool to the ground and simplify the dance so any female celebrity can easily perform it.”

Before Gu Lin could say anything, Qian Yong could not help but interrupt. “Miss Gu, we can’t do this. If we do this, what is the difference between the Gu Financial Magnate’s commercials and the shoddy commercials of the other companies? This will lower the reputation of Meteor Wings and is worse than not having an advertisement!” Now that things had turned out that way, he could not help but speak. He gave in to Gu Lin because he wanted to become rich, but he was not so stupid that he didn’t know that if they lowered the quality of the commercial, it would not matter how much he tried to curry favor with Gu Lin, CEO Gu and Old Master Gu would directly fire him!

Gu Lin ignored him. “We will follow his suggestion!”

The head director was also unhappy. As a director, he had to protect his reputation in the industry. When he was filming Ye Xingling’s commercial, it was beautiful and of exceptional quality. If it were aired, he would be praised for being very professional. However, what would happen if a shoddy commercial was aired? His reputation would be tarnished!

Why did he not pray for blessings at the temple before shooting the commercial? If he had done so, he probably would not have encountered such an idiotic person like Miss Gu.

Although he did not dare to oppose Gu Lin in person, it did not mean that he could not do something else. After the discussion ended, the assistant director helped Gu Lin change the scene, simplified the dance, and looked for replacements while the head director and Director Qian Yong met in private to discuss countermeasures.

“We can’t let Miss Gu screw this up any further.” The head director passed a cigarette to Qian Yong. “How about you report this to CEO Gu? We know how important Meteor Wings is. There must not be any accidents; otherwise, my reputation will be damaged, and you will probably lose your position.”

Qian Yong completely agreed. “However, CEO Gu spoils Miss Gu too much. Anyone who reports about this will be doomed.”

“If you don’t report this and something happens, we will be the scapegoats, and it will be difficult to escape the situation.”

“That…” Qian Yong fiercely smoked his cigarette and thought about it. “I will send an anonymous letter to the company’s internal forum then. With the pressure of public opinion, CEO Gu will definitely not ignore it.” He was afraid that since CEO Gu spoiled his daughter so much, he might hear about his daughter’s moronic idea for a very important project like Meteor Wings and not do anything about it. If CEO Gu had the highest authority in the Gu Family, it did not matter, but the problem was… The person who had the highest authority was the Old Master. The Old Master was well-known for being strict when doing business. If something happened to Meteor Wings, he would definitely be infuriated and deal with it seriously even though his family members were involved.

Qian Yong also did not want to be responsible for the mess.

The two people went to an internet cafe and sent an anonymous letter using a proxy IP on the same day.

On the internal forum of the Gu Financial Magnate, there was a great uproar. It turned out that the moronic eldest daughter of the Gu Family had caused trouble, and this time she had a conflict with Ye Xingling from Skyart Entertainment? Even so, she should not have randomly changed the artiste due to personal grievances. The most important thing was that she was unable to replace her with a suitable artiste.

The Gu Financial Magnate had spared no efforts in the Meteor Wings’ projects. At this time, they were very concerned about the progress of the project. The phrase “You can’t compromise the shooting style” was becoming the top comment.

Naturally, CEO Gu saw the anonymous letter and called his daughter over to ask about the situation.

“They’re all bullying me!” Gu Lin cried so hard in front of her father that her makeup was in a mess. “I can’t believe they said that I was a moron! Dad, you have to punish them and fire all of those people who scolded me on the forum!”

“It is not convenient for me to do that.” CEO Gu smiled bitterly. He did not know who were the anonymous people attacking her, and even if he knew, what could he do? He was afraid that they were essential staff. If he expelled so many essential staff at once, the Gu Financial Magnate would probably collapse.

“Linlin, listen to your father. Ask that small star called Ye Xingling to come back. It seems that she is the only one suitable to film the advertisement. Otherwise, your grandfather will be angry.” Father Gu felt sorry for her as he patted his daughter’s head.

Gu Lin’s eyes were brimming with tears. “No way! Why should I ask her to come back? Based on what? Dad, I’m sure grandfather won’t continue to protect her this time. In the past, he did that because he was being respectful towards Brother Lei, but now that she was dumped by Brother Lei, grandfather won’t care about her!”

How were things so simple?

Although CEO Gu had no limits when spoiling his daughter, other people did have their limits with her. “Your grandfather really values Meteor Wings. He protected that small star not only because of Li Lei. That small star is truly capable and is able to give outstanding performance when others can’t. Meteor Wings can’t afford to lose her.”

“Even my dad is supporting an outsider!” Gu Lin wanted to cry again.

Seeing that his precious daughter was throwing a tantrum, CEO Gu quickly said, “Ok, I won’t support outsiders.”

“Then, how do you think we should solve this problem?!” Gu Lin stomped her foot.
