Chapter 308: Look at your lack of ambition!

"Nonsense! Don't bully people too much!" An Ran's blood pressure soared with anger. "Don't think that just because you're all in cahoots, you can turn black into white!"

She had heard rumors that Song Jiamo liked to bully others based on her power before she became Murong Xue's assistant, and now that she was the second female lead and was being suppressed by Murong Xue everywhere, she must have held a grudge and taken the opportunity to retaliate.

Sure enough, just as An Ran thought, what was originally a small matter, Song Jiamo didn't seem to want to let go.

She stared at Murong Xue with a cold face and an arrogant expression, saying in a tone of charity.

"Do you know how expensive this dress of mine is? Considering you're a newcomer who doesn't know the rules, 200,000. You pay me the money, and then apologize, and I won't pursue it."

The other artists around gasped when they heard Song Jiamo's dress cost 200,000.

"Wow, is this dress too expensive?"

"I know this brand; it's a famous luxury brand's early spring custom-made from the capital of perfume, limited to 100 pieces, and only high-level members are eligible to buy it."

"Even celebrities only wear such expensive clothes when walking the red carpet or attending events, and most of them are borrowed from the brand. Jiamo is really rich; she actually wore a 200,000 dress to rehearsal so casually!"

"You... you say this broken dress is 200,000?" An Ran was stunned. In her eyes, this was really just an ordinary dress, maybe the fabric was a bit better, but she never expected it to be so valuable.

"Country bumpkins really haven't seen the world. If you don't understand, go check the brand's official website; we didn't lie to you!" Zhang Qingqing said arrogantly.

"Even if this dress is worth 200,000, Xiao Xue just accidentally spilled a bit of water on it, it didn't get dirty at all. At worst, we'll pay for the dry cleaning, there's no need for full compensation, right?"

"Just spilled a bit of water?" Zhang Qingqing screamed with disdain. "Saying you are country bumpkins is really not wrong at all. Do you know that high-end custom dresses like this cannot be washed, and dry cleaning won't work either!"

Murong Xue stared silently at Song Jiamo's dress.

She had taken this job as the female lead of the musical, and after deducting the company's share, she could only get 800,000, and all of that 800,000 had been taken by her to pay for her father's medical expenses.

Right now, let alone 200,000, even 20,000 she would have to scrape together and borrow.

Song Jiamo noticed Murong Xue's hesitant expression and raised her chin even more arrogantly to look at her.

"What, you got my dress dirty, and you still want to renege on the debt and not pay?"

"Yo, could it be that this country bumpkin can't afford to pay at all?" The little stars around Song Jiamo took the opportunity to mock her.

"Look at how shabbily she's dressed, she probably really can't come up with that much money."

"Can't come up with the money and still won't apologize. The quality of Tian Feng's artists is really worrying. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid netizens outside will know that people under Tian Feng Entertainment have no quality."

"Apologize quickly! Never seen anyone with such thick skin..."

Giant Star Media and Tian Feng Entertainment had always been at odds, and Song Jiamo was also quite dissatisfied that her second female lead role had been overshadowed by Murong Xue.

Other small artists, even if just to please Song Jiamo, would deliberately stir up trouble.

Especially since they had just seen Murong Xue being scolded by Han Baoping, thinking that this female lead had lost favor, they bullied her even more unscrupulously.

Song Jiamo watched coldly and leisurely, letting the little stars of the company come forward to make things difficult for Murong Xue, feeling only happy in her heart.

A little nobody who had been banned for three years actually dared to put on airs in front of her. If she didn't use some means, any cat or dog would be able to step on her head in the future.

Actually, Song Jiamo had no dissatisfaction with the position of the second female lead. After all, the quality of Han Baoping's musical was very high, and even the second female lead would be famous and profitable.

With her qualifications, being able to get this role was already the result of company operations; she had no right to be picky.

But what she didn't expect was that the female lead was an unknown little nobody.

Why could someone like Murong Xue step on her head, and there were even marketing accounts setting the rhythm to make netizens compare their singing?

Song Jiamo had found Murong Xue an eyesore ever since rehearsals started, but because she was the female lead personally appointed by Han Baoping, she didn't dare to target her openly.

Now that Murong Xue had been scolded by Han Baoping, she might not even be able to keep the female lead position. Since Zhang Qingqing had already stirred up trouble, she was naturally happy to go with the flow and teach this woman who didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth a good lesson.

Based on her current status and the Giant Star Media behind her, everyone present would give her this face and would never defend this little nobody who had been frozen by the company for several years.

"Are you still going to be reasonable! Just because our Xiao Xue isn't popular, do you have to bully her like this?" An Ran was almost crying with anger, but she was just a little assistant and couldn't afford such expensive clothes, nor could she seek justice for Murong Xue.

Murong Xue's face was pale, and her body was swaying.

Even if her career had improved now, she couldn't compare to a female singer with a certain fan base like Song Jiamo. If Song Jiamo wanted to target her, she had no power to resist.

If it only required an apology to pay money, was that already the best result for her?

There were too many people in this circle who fawned over the powerful and trampled on the weak; she should have recognized reality long ago.

And her performance during this recent period was indeed not very good. Producer Han was already angry; what if he had an opinion of her because of this matter? Wouldn't she have failed the opportunity Xu Ge had worked so hard to fight for her?

Right, Xu Ge also said he was coming to visit the set today; she must resolve this matter before he came so as not to make things difficult for him.

"Song Jiamo, it was my fault for getting your clothes dirty, I apologize to you..." Murong Xue took a deep breath, enduring the humiliation in her heart, and said to Song Jiamo.

However, Song Jiamo was still unrelenting toward her proactive apology.

"Hehe, your apology has no sincerity."

"We've already apologized, what else do you want?" An Ran couldn't help but ask back.

"Kneel down and apologize, and this matter will be written off," Song Jiamo said lightly.

"Don't bully people too much!" An Ran roared angrily.

Murong Xue's face became even uglier.

Song Jiamo actually wanted her to kneel in public...

Others around showed ambiguous smiles, seemingly waiting for the good show of Murong Xue kneeling to apologize.

Just at this moment, a crisp sound of high heels suddenly came from behind the crowd, attracting everyone's attention. Except for Murong Xue, who was about to cry and kept her head down, even An Ran looked toward the position behind them.

"Nie Jingjing..."

Why would Nie Jingjing come to the theater?

Just when everyone was extremely astonished, they saw Nie Jingjing had already passed through the crowd and arrived at Murong Xue's side.

"Look at your lack of ambition!" Nie Jingjing looked at Murong Xue with great disdain. "I remember the character you're playing isn't a 'white lotus' either, how come you haven't made any progress?" ===== CHAPTER 309 =====
