Chapter 1029: Huang Shaoyu's Company
Even the company's big boss, Huang Shaoyu, has to listen to Chen Yu; this is the kind of figure he usually cannot afford to climb up to. He only looks glorious in the eyes of entertainers, but when he encounters a real big shot, he too has to bend his waist.
"As for this, I haven't seen him for a while." Chen Yu nodded, then pointed at Wang Zhen and said: "What is this woman's background? Is she someone your Young Master Huang wants to promote personally?"
"No, it's not like that." Director Zhang said hurriedly: "She is the second female lead, brought over by an investor. She also brought capital into the production herself. If Mr. Chen doesn't like her, I'll have someone replace her."
"Then replace her." Chen Yu said indifferently.
"Alright, I'll replace her immediately." Director Zhang turned his head and said: "Wang Zhen, you can go back. Don't come again tomorrow."
"Baldy Zhang, have you gone crazy?" Wang Zhen's face changed instantly. She clamored: "I am someone brought by President Zhang. He is the biggest investor. Do you believe that I can make him withdraw his capital with just one word right now?"
"Withdraw if you want, withdraw quickly. Our Zhongtang doesn't lack that bit of your investment, but if you offend Mr. Chen, the President Zhang behind you won't be able to protect you." Director Zhang said coldly.
"Baldy Zhang, you have guts. You just wait for me." Wang Zhen was furious: "You are just a lousy director, who do you think you are? I'm calling President Zhang right now to withdraw the capital."
"Fine, call quickly. Get lost after you're done." Director Zhang smiled. With Chen Yu here, it was useless for this woman to call anyone.
The President Zhang behind her might have some ability, but he definitely couldn't protect her. Director Zhang had at least that much confidence. After all, Chen Yu was someone even Huang Shaoyu had to defer to. In the eyes of the Huang Family, that President Zhang didn't even count as a fart.
Director Zhang also went to the side to make a call. A moment later, he smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, Young Master Huang already knows. The person will be replaced immediately."
Meanwhile, Wang Zhen was on the phone. At first, she was acting spoiled and angry, but as it went on, her expression became uglier and uglier.
Because the President Zhang behind her had already decided to abandon her.
"Wang Zhen, you have offended someone. No matter what requirements the other party has, you will do as they say. If you do as you're told, I will continue to promote you after this storm passes, but if you dare to disobey, I will make you disappear from the entertainment industry in the future." President Zhang had already received a warning from Huang Shaoyu; he said in a low voice.
"Don't, President Zhang. You, what is going on here? I see the other party as just an ordinary person. You must help me vent my anger." This woman still hadn't realized the severity of the problem.
"Shut up! Wang Zhen, I'm telling you, if you want to die, go ahead, but don't drag me into it. If I get implicated because of your business, I will finish you off." President Zhang said angrily.
Wang Zhen was startled because she could hear that President Zhang's tone was very serious. It seemed the person she offended this time was no ordinary person. She stammered: "President Zhang, I understand now. I, I will go apologize right now."
Putting down her phone, Wang Zhen's expression toward Chen Yu had already changed. Her face carried a trace of ingratiating and awkward smiles: "That... Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. Look, this is really a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple. I'm truly sorry."
"I told you to kneel down and slap yourself to apologize. Did you not understand what I meant?" Chen Yu was not someone who returned evil with kindness. The more arrogant this woman was just now, the more miserable she was now.
Wang Zhen's face changed. If she knelt down and slapped herself in front of so many people to apologize, how would she be able to get by in the crew in the future? But looking at the expression on Chen Yu's face, if she didn't do as Chen Yu said, this matter would likely be difficult to resolve well.
But if she really did as Chen Yu said, she would never be able to make it in this circle again. For a moment, she fell into a dilemma.
"What, not willing?" Chen Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "If you don't do as I say today, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of here. And even if you do walk out, no one will know who you are in the future."
"I've already apologized, what else do you want?" Wang Zhen wiped her tears. She had no other choice, so she had to use a woman's trump card—crying.
When a woman cries, it will arouse the other party's sympathy, especially a woman who looks as beautiful as her and is a drama queen; when she really cries, she still looks pitiful.
"Don't cry, crying is useless. In the time you've spent crying, the matter could have been resolved long ago." Chen Yu said coldly: "If you want to drag this out here, then we'll drag it out here. I have plenty of time."
"Can't you just let me go? I already know I was wrong, boo-hoo..." Wang Zhen wailed: "Everyone is watching. Is it good for you to bully a weak woman like this?"
"A weak woman?" Chen Yu laughed: "You weren't like this when you were being arrogant just now. And you take yourself too seriously. Ask the people around you, who would sympathize with you?"
"Do you all think this woman is worth sympathizing with?" Chen Yu turned to look at the others.
Most of these people were from the crew and knew Wang Zhen's character perfectly well. Usually, this woman led a pack of dogs to bite people everywhere; some newcomers to the crew were even forced to quit because of her.
Last time, a new assistant she hired had her face slapped until it was swollen just because the coffee she bought didn't suit her taste. Moreover, this woman was sharp-tongued and mean. Now that she was begging for sympathy, really no one sympathized with her.
"Sympathize, my ass. Don't you have any self-awareness of what kind of person you are?"
"Exactly, bullying people every day, cursing and slapping others at the slightest disagreement. Now you've met someone tough, haven't you?"
"Hmph, you truly deserve it. Someone like this needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise, she doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and thinks no one can provoke her."
The dozen or so onlookers all showed expressions of contempt and sneers. For Wang Zhen, there was truly no one who sympathized with her, because this woman was truly not worth sympathizing with.
Now her tears were all squeezed out and faked. It was just that she had committed many evils in the past, relying on the capital behind her to operate, so she didn't treat others in the production as human beings. Now that she had offended the wrong person, she started wiping tears and acting pitiful to gain sympathy. Who would pay her any mind?
"You all..." Wang Zhen looked at the others in astonishment. She never expected that her popularity would be so poor, poor to such an extent. She had originally thought that even if she were at her worst, she was still part of the crew and they would help her speak up. But she never dreamed that everyone would kick her while she was down.
"See? Do you really have no self-awareness of how bad your character is usually?" Chen Yu said coldly: "If you really had good popularity, would you have ended up in this state?"
"Yanxi, I was wrong. Please let me go." This woman started looking at Zhang Yanxi for help again, hoping she could help her out.
