Chapter 495: The vest, finally dropped

In this way, they waited until almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiaoyun went out for a turn and came back, telling Shen Li: "Ali, the director adjusted other actors to make up for the missing shots. It is estimated that your scenes today will be changed to be filmed later."

Lu Qiang's attitude was tough, and Shen Li refused to give in, so the situation was deadlocked. It is estimated that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the same result.

"Ali, let's not film." Apan looked at Shen Li angrily: "This crew was made into a mess by him alone. If something spreads out in the future, we won't be able to explain it clearly."

Shen Li naturally wouldn't give in, nodded and said: "If there is no result tomorrow, I will tell Kuanjie."

Who knew that just after speaking, a staff member ran over and knocked on the door: "Ali teacher, someone is here to visit the class, saying it is your sister!"

Hearing this, Shen Li "bounced" up from the sofa, full of surprise: "Really? Where is the person?"

Outside the cordon of the crew, Shen Ci and Pili were looking around curiously while waiting.

Soon, they heard a call from afar: "Sister!"

Shen Ci looked closely and saw Ali running towards her, and the smile on her face couldn't help but expand.

"Sister!"

Approaching, Shen Li plunged into Shen Ci's arms, hugged her sister tightly with both hands, and after feeling that familiar sense of security, the strength she had held for a long time collapsed at this moment. Thousands of grievances welled up in her heart, making her eyes and nose sore at the same time, and she cried while holding her sister.

Shen Ci was still immersed in joy in the previous second, and in the next second, she found that her sister was crying.

And her sister was not crying with joy, she was crying very aggrieved and suppressed, it was clear that she had encountered something.

Immediately, her face sank, and she subconsciously looked at Xiaoyun.

Xiaoyun sighed silently, nodded lightly at Shen Ci, confirming Shen Ci's guess.

Pili on the side also frowned, raising her hand to pat Shen Li's back: "What's wrong Ali? What happened?"

Shen Li raised her head and quickly wiped her tears, smiled at Pili: "It's okay Pili sister, I'm happy you guys are here, let's go in first."

Shen Ci didn't speak, but she knew her sister must have something, she wouldn't lie at all.

The group came to the lounge, and Shen Ci simply looked at it.

The crew's lounge is generally relatively simple, even if the lead actor's conditions will not be much better, but there are sofas and air conditioning, which is enough.

"Sister, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came? I would have asked Apan to pick you up. Did Lianxing sister and Zhenzhen sister come?"

As soon as she sat down, Shen Li asked, wiping her tears with a tissue, her eyes red and distressing.

Shen Ci looked at her like this, where was the mood to talk about anything else, and asked directly with a dark face: "What happened, tell sister."

Shen Li's expression paused, subconsciously wanting to deny it, because she didn't know her sister's true identity. In her heart, she

As long as she remains in this circle, their worry for her will always persist.

But she cannot lie; whenever she tries, she can't even finish a sentence.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Mom, but you must tell me so I can handle it," Shen Ci said.

"A-Li, we are all here, don't be afraid," Pili also encouraged her to speak up.

Shen Li sat there with her head bowed, feeling deeply saddened at the thought of this matter, and bean-sized tears rolled down from her eyes like broken pearls, falling with a "patter, patter."

Xiaoyun grew anxious and immediately stood up, saying, "Let me tell it..."

Shen Li remained silent; it was truly difficult to speak of such things to her sister, even though she hadn't done anything.

Xiaoyun gave a rough account, but it was enough to clarify the whole situation and the lecherous nature of Lu Qiang.

The expressions of both Shen Ci and Pili turned icy cold after hearing the full account.

"So, because of this, the production schedule for the crew is now stuck, even though this afternoon was supposed to be A-Li's scenes?" Pili asked.

Xiaoyun nodded, her gaze subconsciously glancing toward Shen Li's sister.

But she only saw Shen Ci suddenly smile—yet that smile was truly terrifying; the corners of her mouth twitched, but there was absolutely no emotion in her eyes.

"Xiaoyun, please go invite the director over," Shen Ci said suddenly.

Xiaoyun was stunned, and Shen Li also looked at her sister, hurriedly saying, "Sister, I will leave this matter for Sister Kuan to handle."

Shen Ci only slightly raised a finger, signaling her sister not to speak: "Sister Kuan cannot handle this matter. No matter how capable she is, she is only an agent; this matter must be handled by me."

After saying this, she gave Xiaoyun a look: "Go."

Xiaoyun nodded, turned, and ran out.

Shen Ci took the opportunity to pick up the new script on the side and began to flip through it, asking Pili as she read: "Do you know who this Lu Qiang is?"

She rarely watched dramas, and even when she did, she couldn't remember the actors' names.

If she had asked Lianxing this question, she would certainly have known. Pili, however, thought for a moment before saying: "It seems there was a hit drama in the nineties where he was the lead, but wasn't he already not young back then?"

"You know about dramas from the nineties? You weren't even born yet, right?" Shen Ci exclaimed.

Pili spread her hands helplessly: "My master likes watching these old dramas, so I've watched quite a few along with her, but Lu Qiang was indeed quite popular back then."

"He wasn't young in the nineties? Then how old must he be now?" Shen Ci murmured.

Pili had already searched on her phone and immediately widened her eyes in shock: "Sixty-four!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci immediately showed an expression of disgust: "That really is an awkward age—can't hit him, can't scold him, lest people say I'm abusing the elderly!"

Shen Li watched her two sisters chatting in such a relaxed tone and felt momentarily lost, but seeing her sister sitting right there, she felt inexplicably reassured.

Soon, the director came over, full of enthusiasm.

He thought Shen Li had changed her mind, but he didn't expect that upon entering the lounge, there would be two new faces he had never seen before.

He couldn't help but be stunned. Before he could speak, Shen Ci took the initiative with a polite smile: "Hello, Director. Let me introduce myself; my name is Shen Ci, and I am Shen Li's older sister..."

"And I am also the sole investor of 'March Alley,' which you are currently filming!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone present, except for Pili, was stunned.

Including Shen Li!

Her sister...

Shen Ci looked at her younger sister and offered a soothing smile; her identity as an investor was finally revealed in front of her sister.

"Y-you are..." The director's brain short-circuited for a moment; he knew this drama only had one major investor.

That is to say, the sole investor.

Could it be this young and beautiful woman in front of him? And she is Shen Li's sister?

Then why didn't Shen Li ever mention it?

Shen Ci nodded slightly: "If you have any doubts about my identity, you can call General Manager Lu of 'Jin Xiao' right now to verify."

"Jin Xiao" was the production company for this drama.

"N-no, that won't be necessary," the director hurriedly waved his hand, having recovered slightly.

But the next second, Shen Ci tossed the script in her hand onto the table and, still looking at him with a smile, said: "As an investor, I demand that Lu Qiang be replaced."

"What?" The director's heart, which hadn't yet settled, jumped in shock again. He blinked in disbelief: "Replace Teacher Lu Qiang?"

Was there actually someone who dared to replace Teacher Lu Qiang in a project?

"As an investor, I am making this request. Is there a problem?" Shen Ci tilted her head slightly and said.

"N-no... it's just..."

But Shen Ci didn't want to hear his nonsense at all. She smiled and said in a gentle, soft tone: "If you don't replace him, I will replace you."
