Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife
166 Calculative Little Devil
Ran Xueyi never thought that this would ever happen. Changing the script was out and beyond her expectations since it was a very low-level type of bullying that everyone in the entertainment circle heard of in the past. It was certainly not done only just recently and happened to a lot of actors and actresses in the past as a way to suppress and make them slowly and eventually disappear from the TV screens.
Once in the past, Ran Xueyi experience being targeted by someone and did this to her. Of course, that 'person' didn't succeed in taking Ran Xueyi out of the picture and instead, it even increased her popularity.
Zhao Fei also never thought that this was the first thing she will witness on the first day she started working with Ran Xueyi. So she was extremely frustrated and angered by this.
"What the f*CK do they mean by this? Isn't this too much? Xiao Xueyi, don't worry about this and I'll talk to the producer and directors. How could they think of changing and deleting most of your scenes. Do they still want a female lead in the drama?"
Ran Xueyi silently agreed with what Zhao Fei had just said. What they did to the script was really messed up. Do they still want anyone to appear as the female lead when the scenes the character will show up on screen was too little compared with the other characters.
"Thank you, Sister Zhao. I'll let you talk to them." Although Ran Xueyi said this, she had a feeling that even if Zhao Fei went and demanded for an explanation from them, she would return empty-handed.
Since they already made up their mind to change and delete most of her scenes from the script, they should have already expected that she would demand for an explanation as well as throw some complaints.
By now, they must have already thought out some plans and answers to their complaints.
As expected, not thirty minutes after Zhao Fei met with the relevant figures of the drama, she came back with an ugly and dark expression on her face.
She cursed loudly once she stopped and entered inside the nanny van.
"Those disgusting people are really too much! Do you even know what they told me? Ha! They told me to either accept what they gave to us or just quit so they can find some other actress who will play the female lead!" Zhao Fei never met someone so rude and unscrupulous before. She was used to being respected after producing movie emperors and empresses. Yet, they dared to show her some attitudes.
Ran Xueyi was completely calm after all this time and she only handed a cup of tea that Feng Huai bought earlier to her so she could take a sip and calm down.
"Calm down, Sister Zhao. If you're too angry because of them and ruined your beauty, I would no longer have a peerless manager beside me." Ran Xueyi joked around despite the fire and bad situation they were currently in.
"You... You still know how to joke around! Aren't you even worried?" Zhao Fei was slightly speechless at Ran Xueyi's attitude towards this matter. If this was someone else and they heard that their scenes were reduced a lot, they would be panicking and thinking of what to do to solve this matter.
Yet, not only did Ran Xueyi joked around with her while smiling, she was especially calm the whole time as if she wasn't worried about anything.
Suddenly, Zhao Fei had an epiphany and was quickly enlightened. Considering Ran Xueyi's calm and indifferent demeanor, Zhao Fei thought that she must have thought things thoroughly.
"Do you have something in mind?" Zhao Fei asked with her brows scrunched up.
Ran Xueyi was glad that the other noticed how calm she was and slowly nodded. "Naturally, I have something in mind. Changing the script without informing me, the female lead ahead of time, they're not only breaking and bending the rules, they are breaching the contract I signed."
A day after the audition, the crew and Director Zheng informed her about the contract being sent to her. Ran Xueyi didn't immediately signed it and examined the contract, a rule she set over herself to check everything that concerns her life and career from now on, and found that unless she made a mistake or the crew did, no one can terminate the contract.
But it seems that someone thought that as an actress who doesn't have any time to do anything like read a contract, she wouldn't examine and check every clauses and points stated in it. Hence, they forgot the clause where Ran Xueyi's scenes were specifically numbered there.
Now, that these scenes were reduced and the numbers of scenes did not meet what was written in the contract, Ran Xueyi could legally sue the people involved in this matter for breaching the contract.
If Ran Xueyi was not hyper conscious about her first lead drama after a long break, she might have missed these few words written in the contract.
Upon hearing her, Zhao Fei was almost instantly glad and calmed down quickly. Her heart was still beating from anger and the thought of storming inside the set and let them witness what everyone called a 'Snappy Zhao' was still in her considerations. Thankfully, Ran Xueyi was someone who had been in the entertainment world for too long that she knew the way in and out in the circle and was very clear minded even in this unfavorable situation.
"Thankfully, you stayed very clear headed than me. But still, you should have told me earlier... How embarrassing it was for me to storm inside and demand them to explain to us." Zhao Fei finally took a deep breath and relaxed.
Ran Xueyi was not feeling sorry at all and even said, "If I did that, the effect I wanted to show to the people who did this will lessen and they won't let their guards down. Thankfully, Sister Zhao helped me with her superb acting. I can only praise you and promise to buy you a meal next time."
Superb acting? It was more like she was ready to grab somebody's hair and beat the hell out of them! Thought Zhao Fei, but she was ashamed to say this to Ran Xueyi.
Honestly, she never thought Ran Xueyi could be this calculative and ruthless, even using her own people to fool her enemies.
"Alright! I won't be polite and will pick a very expensive restaurant so ready your card to be cleared!" Zhao Fei was still very happy to cooperate and work with Ran Xueyi, this 'Little Devil'.
