Give her some time to adjust her state, she definitely won’t let you down,\" the agent said with an apologetic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tugged Zhang Nianlei’s arm, signaling her to hurry up and apologize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a director, what’s there to be so arrogant about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Nianlei cursed inwardly but managed a smile on her face, \"Director Xutian, I didn’t get enough rest yesterday, so I’m a bit off today, I’m sorry. Please give me one more chance, I promise to perform well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been in the industry for over twenty years, Director Xutian had a discerning eye and, with an impatient wave of his hand, said, \"Alright, alright, there’s no need for a lot of pretty words. The next scene is with Ji Mingqian. If you screw that up, you better be prepared to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, he turned to discuss the details of the next scene with the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corners of the set, Zhang Nianlei couldn’t suppress her temper anymore, \"It’s just a director, how dare he scold me, he’ll see what’s coming to him sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leilei, stop it. If you want a place in the industry, you definitely can’t offend Director Xutian.

Ji Mingqian got into character in a second, dressed in black and tainted with the stench of blood. In the darkness, those deep eyes teemed with killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move aside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold voice was hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, he dragged a middle-aged man, and in the other, he held a gun pointed at the man’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded, a group of people in black encircled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War, on the verge of erupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xutian, don’t hurt my uncle,\" Zhang Nianlei stumbled over, where tears should have cascaded down her cheeks, yet not a single one could she muster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was stiff, rigidly dragging her out of character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut, cut, cut.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Xu rose from his seat, slamming the table, his face extremely ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Nianlei, what the hell are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time and again, his patience had been utterly exhausted by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, I’m sorry, I...\" Having been reprimanded once more, and in front of Ji Mingqian no less, Zhang Nianlei’s face was awash with embarrassment, as she apologized in a soft voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hoarse voice interrupted her, \"Old Xu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this voice, Zhang Nianlei’s head shot up, her eyes expectant as she looked toward Ji Mingqian, thinking he would speak up for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Xu, replace her. Let’s reshoot this scene once you find someone suitable,\" Ji Mingqian had just barely recovered from his character, his eyes still slightly bloodshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing his temperament, Director Xu nodded with a somber face, determined never to use Zhang Nianlei again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was simply ruining his script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it can’t be like this.\" Realizing Ji Mingqian meant to replace her, Zhang Nianlei’s face turned pale, her voice suddenly shrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Xu, you can’t just switch me out like this, it’s not by the book.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian, his head throbbing from her piercing voice, headed for the door, \"Old Xu, I’ll go to the makeup room. Call me after you sort this out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xin watched Zhang Nianlei making a scene, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a temper like that, she couldn’t last long in the industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decision to replace Zhang Nianlei on the spot caused turmoil at the film set, delaying the shooting schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian changed his clothes and was about to leave when Director Xu walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mingqian, it’s been a while, how about dinner together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian grabbed his sunglasses and phone, responding readily, \"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he turned to Chen Xin, \"You go back first, I’ll return to the hotel on my own later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Chen Xin nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked out of the makeup room, chatting about the film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Xu, how did you pick the people this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing he was referring to Zhang Nianlei, Director Xu gave a helpless smile, \"It’s a long story. There was a loophole that got exploited. If you hadn’t mentioned replacing her today, I would’ve considered it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The industry waters are muddied; sometimes loopholes are just inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I’ve invited someone else to dinner tonight, you don’t mind, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian raised his eyebrows, \"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The performer of our movie’s end credits song, who also wrote the lyrics,\" Director Xu replied with a secretive smile, \"He’s as well-known in the industry as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian curved his lips, teasing, \"With such satisfaction on your face, it seems I must get to know him well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re about the same age; you’ll probably have a lot to talk about.\" Director Xu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Xu, you’re not trying to set me up, are you?\" Ji Mingqian replied humorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As if you need any help finding someone; you’d grab a bunch just by walking out,\" Director Xu laughed and cursed, \"The person is a guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian chuckled, slipped on his sunglasses, and left with Director Xu through the back door into a car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The filming location was far from the city center; it took two hours by car to reach downtown as darkness fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Xu had reserved a Japanese restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frequenting the place, he led Ji Mingqian upstairs with practiced ease.\u003C\u002Fp>",1320,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","e8d0cefee51d5beb4b453cd0c64e1e78376fd6c456c066291209c2c31afcac2e","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-61","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-59",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
