The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 900 - 314: The Crew in Turmoil

Although Zuo Yuqing didn’t directly state her intentions, anyone with common sense could see what her series of reactions and instructions to the assistant meant.

The people in the crew immediately showed varied expressions, looking at Zuo Yuqing with a subtle difference in their eyes.

Investors can be said to be the most important people in the crew; even the Actress wouldn’t dare to openly go against them. After all, if there were no investors, this movie couldn’t be made even if there were directors and actors.

So, everyone who’s been in the acting industry understands that offending anyone else is fine, but you mustn’t offend the investors.

It’s not just that an unsatisfied investor might pull out their money and resources needed by the crew; investors with strong backgrounds might blacklist or even freeze an artist’s career.

Yet, Zuo Yuqing’s actions now are unmistakably not only offending the investor but also outrightly slapping Su Yingxue in the face.

Sister Ling looked at Zuo Yuqing in front of her and first froze for a moment. Then, as she came to understand, her face showed not a hint of anger but rather indulgence and affection. After a smile, she nodded to the young assistant who seemed at a loss due to Zuo Yuqing’s orders, and blandly instructed, "You go ahead."

The young assistant was instantly dumbfounded. She was already scared and unsure whether to follow Zuo Yuqing’s orders when she heard them. Even though she was a newcomer who hadn’t been in the industry long enough to be deeply influenced by it, she understood the crucial role investors play in a production.

Sister Yuqing had worked hard to become an Actress. Although the young girl hadn’t gone through it herself, she could still understand, as she often saw how hard Sister Yuqing worked.

If she were blacklisted just like that, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

Just as she was about to persuade her otherwise, her gaze fell on Su Yingxue’s already twisted face on the opposite side. Remembering how that woman had just insulted Sister Yuqing, she got angry and immediately nodded in agreement and headed straight to Zuo Yuqing’s dressing room.

Su Yingxue’s face immediately twisted. Zuo Yuqing’s actions were an outright slap to her face, making her wish she could rush over and tear that woman apart. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Zuo Yuqing, do you not want to stay in this industry anymore?" Before Su Yingxue could explode, a voice with an undertone of dissatisfaction and anger came from behind.

The director’s face turned somewhat sour upon seeing who had arrived, but held back, merely letting his gaze fall on Zuo Yuqing, making it unclear what expression he held.

Su Yingxue quickly returned to her normal demeanor upon seeing the newcomer, even managing to pull a somewhat forced smile and politely greeted, "Assistant Director!"

The newcomer was none other than the assistant director of the production, a woman in her thirties who was well-maintained and dressed in custom-made designer clothing.

Zuo Yuqing’s expression remained unchanged upon hearing the voice. As she turned towards the source, the first thing she noticed was the tailored dress and high heels. There were times when she wondered if this assistant director had come to film or vacation.

Even though she was an Actress, when it came to filming, Zuo Yuqing usually dressed casually and only occasionally wore a dress when in the mood.

To be honest, Zuo Yuqing had long been displeased with this assistant director, who often caused trouble for her, implicitly and explicitly insisting on extra takes even when scenes involving wire work were shot well.

Those who’ve done wire work know how exhausting and challenging it is. Yet, despite her frustrations, Zuo Yuqing held back, knowing her standing as just an actor.

The assistant director nodded at Su Yingxue, then redirected her displeased gaze at Zuo Yuqing, speaking directly before she could respond, "If you don’t want to stay in this crew anymore, just go. Do you think we can’t shoot this film without you? What kind of Actress airs are you putting on?"

Hearing this, some around them couldn’t help but take pleasure in the drama, especially Su Yingxue, who nearly burst into laughter when she heard the assistant director’s reprimand.

Upon hearing the assistant director’s words, Zuo Yuqing was momentarily stunned, then burst into a laugh born of extreme anger, "So, assistant director, are you planning to kick me out of this crew?"

Damn it, Zuo Yuqing had been acting for almost ten years and had never encountered someone like this.

The director’s face had already turned sour upon hearing the assistant director’s words. He stood up and quickly walked over, angrily rebuking the assistant director, "Since when did this crew become your domain? I’m still the director here!"

Damn it, who said this production doesn’t need Zuo Yuqing? Are we supposed to reshoot without her?

Moreover, only Zuo Yuqing can embody the unique temperament of this film’s protagonist. Who knows if anyone else could even capture that essence?

Inviting Zuo Yuqing was an immense effort from the start.

The director had already decided that this film could do without the Su Group’s investment. At worst, they’d find other investors, but they couldn’t afford to lose Zuo Yuqing.

The assistant director had intended to continue arguing with Zuo Yuqing. Still, seeing the director quickly approach and berate her, her expression became exceedingly unpleasant. She forced herself to calm down and said, "I am the assistant director of this production. Who says I don’t have the authority to make decisions?"

Upon hearing this, the director laughed out of sheer anger and coldly replied, "Do I need to explain how you became an assistant director here? Damn it, lacking capability and perception, I’ve long been displeased with you. Want to bet whether the company would choose to keep you or me?"

He was a veteran director at Huayi Media, with countless films to his credit. The movies he personally directed were all masterpieces, with over a dozen dramas breaking viewership records time and again.

Not far away, Lu Jingchen, upon witnessing the scene, stopped his steps and instead took out his phone to dial the Zuo Group’s number.
