Chapter 266 - 266 197 The Despicable Couple

Chapter 266: Chapter 197: The Despicable Couple Chapter 266: Chapter 197: The Despicable Couple Her gaze was fixed on the director, full of displeasure!

“So this is how Director Jia conducts business? I’ve already said that tonight is a dinner for all the main creators, and I especially told you to make sure to invite Wenyan. Why is it that everyone has arrived except for her? Is she not giving me face, or is it you, Director Jia, who isn’t giving me face?”

“…” At this moment, the director was literally speechless.

He really felt that Miss Fu was nothing like her half-sister Fu Yiqing; in fact, they might as well have been full sisters.

Equally nonsensical and troublesome!

However, the director still managed a smile: “Actually, it’s not just Wenyan who hasn’t come, Jiang Wanwan hasn’t arrived either. You see, the two of them usually have a close relationship, and both are the female leads in this drama, with particularly heavy roles.

“I don’t know who caught the cold first, but one infected the other, so both of them are down now. If they were to join us for dinner at the same table tonight, we might all end up infected, and that would be a rather significant impact.

“Right now is the most critical period of filming. We’ve already been delayed quite a bit by repeatedly changing actors, as you and the company are aware. We really can’t afford any more delays; every day we postpone is like pouring money down the drain. If we keep it up, I’ll be in a difficult position, don’t you think?”

Fu Anxian looked at the director and scoffed, “So you’re using the company to pressure me now? Quite bold of all of you.”

“No, no, President Fu, you’ve really misunderstood. Honestly, before I came out here, I even received a call from President Fu, asking about the progress,” the director pleaded.

“Ha, President Fu?” Fu Anxian found this even more amusing, “Which President Fu?”

“Your younger brother.”

“My brother? You must be joking, using that kind of talk to frame me! Let me tell you, Director Jia, you won’t get off easily if you offend me.”

“President Fu, I’m not deceiving you, I swear. If you don’t believe me, look at my phone’s call history. It truly was President Fu who called. He also asked me if we could fit in a newcomer while inquiring about the progress. I swear I’m not lying!”

With those words, Fu Anxian actually believed him.

She didn’t trust her good-for-nothing brother to proactively monitor the progress of a company project, but squeezing his new girlfriend into the cast was indeed something he would do!!

Yet Fu Anxian couldn’t understand why these men, once they had a bit of money and power, would turn to the entertainment industry to find women!

Can’t they just be faithful to their own wives or fiancées they are engaged to!

Her idiot brother was like this, and so was her ‘carefully selected’ husband!!

Cheating and sneaking around! As if she didn’t know.

Ha, they even gave away the custom bracelet she paid for as pocket money!

Scoundrels, shameless people!!

Thinking of this, a surge of anger ignited in Fu Anxian’s chest.

She glared daggers at the director and suddenly stepped forward, closing in.

“Wenyan’s room number! Tell me right now, immediately!”

Fu Anxian was menacing, clearly up to no good.

The director didn’t want to betray Wenyan; he reacted quickly, blurting out:

“President Fu, she isn’t in the hotel room right now. Didn’t I explain? Wenyan has caught a severe cold, her throat is uncomfortable, and it will affect her lines, so she should be at a hospital getting a nebulizer treatment right now. But as for which hospital she’s at, I have no idea.

“If you ask me for her room number, I can’t recall it offhand; after all, I am a director, not her assistant.”

To prevent Fu Anxian from troubling other staff, the director continued:

“Moreover, she’s not staying at the hotel arranged by our crew; she booked her own in advance. Our staff also doesn’t know which room number she’s in.”

This was indeed true.

Even though Wenyan was a person who could adapt well, under circumstances where she had a choice, she would still opt for better accommodation.

Obviously, what she arranged for herself was much better than what the crew had provided.

And she also didn’t want the crew staff to come into contact with her ID information, otherwise everyone would know that her name on the ID was Shen Wenyan.

Fu Anxian was obviously dissatisfied with the director’s answer, but she couldn’t find any fault with what he said.

“Very well!” Fu Anxian gave the director one final look, “I hope you won’t regret everything you said to me today. Because there’s no such thing as a regret medicine in this world, and when the time comes, it will be too late for regrets!”
