Chapter 1338: Unknown Terrain
Tan Ying was very irritable and wanted to copy the stylist’s voice and say, “You’re crazy!” Who knew what Huanisi was doing?
But he had been in the business for a long time, so he immediately calmed down and decided. “Director Li, we’ll first shoot as originally planned, then I’ll negotiate with Huanisi.” No matter what was going on with them, Xia Yingluo’s makeup was already done and they had finished all preparations. More importantly, she would lose face if she was let go just before the battle. She was the world-famous Ms. Li from the Li family, and even if she had just debuted, she would naturally take the lead. If the new endorsement was snatched by Tang Yuan, her stocks would drop too much.
No matter what, they could not concede.
The director was put on a spot. “I have a work schedule here…”
He looked up and saw Tan Ying’s cold expression, and was a little stunned—Li Lei’s confidants were notorious, and even though Tan Ying had already retired and had only just returned, his reputation was still thunderous. Such a ferocious general made a special trip to escort the daughter of the big boss. If they offended him, what good would come out of it?
Director Li wasn’t stupid and knew he had to protect himself first. “Okay, ley’s shoot Ms. Xia first.”
Tan Ying’s expression got better.
Xia Yingluo came over and showed a sweet smile to Tan Ying.
Uncle Tan was really powerful to have stopped the Director with just a few words. No wonder Dad specifically named him and asked him to be an agent. He was professional and did things well.
However, before she expressed her admiration, she saw a beautiful female celebrity walking over with her agent and assistant. She wore an expensive dress and looked at Xia Yingluo with some anger and arrogance. Then, she turned her head to question the director. “What’s the matter, didn’t I tell you about the substitution? How could you let Xia Yingluo shoot?”
The director carefully glanced at Xia Yingluo before answering Tang Yuan. “Ms. Tang, let’s put on your makeup first. We’ll start shooting when you’re done with your makeup.” While talking, he glanced meaningfully at the stylist. “Jerry, aren’t you going to take Ms. Tang to the dressing room? “He had a good idea. Since the direction of the wind now wasn’t clear, he would just fo a two-handed preparation. He would shoot Xia Yingluo and also Tang Yuan. As for the final version of the advertisement, it would depend on the power game behind the two actresses.
However, he was a little curious. Given Tang Yuan’s identity, who gave her the guts to compete with Xia Yingluo?
Stylist Jerry was very upset and said aloud, “Director Li, I told you that this set of armor is a work of art! It was tailor-made for Ms. Xia Yingluo! We have nothing extra for Ms. Tang! If you really want to make one for Ms. Tang, fine, find another professional, my team and I aren’t going to serve her!”
The director’s expression turned black. Why weren’t these people helping him?!
At this time, Tang Yuan also understood that they were going to let her wear the one Xia Yingluo had used!
She lowered her face slightly and looked at her assistant Qiang Zi.
Qiang Zi understood his master’s meaning. The job of quarreling usually landed on his shoulders, so he stepped forward and said, “Director Li, and you stylists, what do you mean? Our Sister Tang was invited here after Huanisi spent tons of money. You are being so negligent to her, be careful you suffer later on!”
The director cursed inside, why was it so difficult to serve them?
On the surface, he still had to smile. “I understand, I understand.”
He said he understood, but he still didn’t do anything. At present, the terrain was unknown, and Xia Yingluo’s people were obviously reluctant to abandon this advertisement. With her strong background, who would know if Huanisi would make a concession? He couldn’t offend Xia Yingluo by helping Tang Yuan, only to have Huanisi change its mind!
He decided to take a look at the situation.
Seeing that he was so slick, Tang Yuan was angry but could do nothing. She wasn’t on very good terms with Xia Yingluo and had a conflict with her the last time when Jin Ling’er was filming. Although Tang Yuan had bowed her head and apologized at the time, she was still angry. However, despite this, she didn’t dare to mess with Xia Yingluo. After all, Xia Yingluo was a beloved girl with an amazing background. She was a heavenly pride girl with an amazing background. Tang Yuan had only gone against such a princess out of anger.
She was dormant, reluctant, and avoidant. She pretended Xia Yingluo wasn’t there.
Maybe it was destiny. Someone came to her door a few days ago to ask her to replace Xia Yingluo in the advertisement.
Tang Yuan didn’t agree in the beginning. She had a clear distinction that although she couldn’t go against Xia Yingluo, they weren’t enemies yet, and there was no need to make further instability between them. However, the other party told her that Xia Yingluo had known for a long time that she had harmed Jin Ling’er before and she had been planning revenge. She also threatened that if she didn’t replace this advertisement, everything she had worked so hard for since her debut—fame, fortune, money, and glory—everything would be gone.
She didn’t believe it.
It wasn’t until a few days after that meeting that her beautiful face began to ulcerate without warning. She ran to the world’s best hospitals and couldn’t find out the cause, so she panicked. No… she didn’t want her face to rot. For an actress, nothing was more important than a beautiful face! She would really be destroyed!
Fear, like a demon, gripped her heart tightly.
The other party came to the door again, and this time brought a bottle of facial treatment.
She couldn’t wait to kneel and beg the other person to give her the medicine. She cried silently and obeyed. She vowed that she would take over Xia Yingluo’s advertisement.
The other person smiled with satisfaction. “Very well, you will be Ms. Gu’s ally from now on.”
Only then did she understand who was pitting her against Xia Yingluo. It was Gu Jinxiu of the Gu family’s Perfume Group, but, strangely, the Gu family was just an ordinary giant. How could they have the ability to make such a terrible disfigurement medicine? Tang Yuan didn’t dare to think deeply about it.
At this point, she was standing in the studio and could only brace herself to pit against Xia Yingluo. “Ms. Xia, Huanisi has decided to make a substitution. It’s not good for you to stay here, is it?”
Xia Yingluo’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. With her battle armor, she eluded a faint murderous aura. The few people around her couldn’t help but step back, and Tang Yuan, who was staring at her, felt her knees weaken and she could barely even stand. The girl’s eyes… were so frightening!
She was indeed the daughter of the world’s largest Chinese underground leader. She was so imposing!
Everyone thought involuntarily.
Xia Yingluo’s voice spread a little in the air. “I guess… Gu Jinxiu asked you to come? You seem to be happy using that rubbish as a gun?”
Rubbish…
She actually scolded the Gu family’s noble lady in public as garbage!
Even if everyone knew that these two ladies didn’t see eye to eye with each other, it was one thing to fight in private, and another for Xia Yingluo, a public figure, to curse at someone without hesitation. Only the jewel in the palm of the Li family’s house dared to be so brazen!
