Mr. Gu, stop chasing me! Miss Jiang has become a movie queen!

"After dinner...what are you going to do?"

Li Xi looked at Li Yiming. He ate very quickly, faster than usual. The food went directly into his stomach without chewing. It seemed that he had something urgent to do.

"Just forget about it and eat your food."

Li Yiming put down his chopsticks, put on his clothes and left.

Li Xi didn't sleep the whole night and he didn't know what medicine he took to have so much energy.

Anyway, Li Xi can't film any movies now, so she has to start in other areas.

Li Yiming hurried to the crew and resumed his usual amiable self in front of others, but he didn't know that his clumsy disguise had already been seen through by Jiang Ning.

He has his own office in the crew. The decoration is quite simple, and even the leather on the sofa is peeling off. Li Yiming is currently handling the crew's work at the table that has been used for who knows how many years. There is a lot of work and it is complicated. There are also many minor matters waiting for him to deal with.

He only looked at it for a while, then impatiently piled all the things aside, and then almost collapsed in the chair and began to deal with the company's affairs.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door. Li Yiming guessed it might be Jiang Ning. He quickly sat up and straightened his posture. He reviewed the countermeasures he had thought of last night, then lowered his voice as much as possible and shouted to the outside of the door:

"come in."

But the person who came in was completely different from what Li Yiming had imagined.

The shiny leather shoes squeaked as they stepped on the floor, and the straight trousers were wrapped around the man's slender legs, with the trouser lines folded clearly and sharply, making him look abstinent and tall. The upper body suit was carefully tailored to fit the man's upper body perfectly, symbolizing the man's extraordinary status.

Li Yiming's heart skipped a beat. He never expected that the person coming would be Gu Yuan!

But Li Yiming still had to pretend to be calm. He stood up respectfully, smiled gently at Gu Yuan, and said, "Hello, Mr. Gu."

Gu Yuan did not respond to his smile and walked straight up to him.

Li Yiming extended his right hand, and Gu Yuan politely shook it back symbolically, and said straight to the point: "I think Jiang Ning should have told you on the phone last night that she will not come to the crew in the future. You should find someone else."

Gu Yuan was about to leave when Li Yiming stopped him, touched Gu Yuan's arm and said, "Wait a minute, I want to know why."

Gu Yuan slapped his hand away in disgust. A single look was enough to scare people to death. He spoke again, his voice even colder than before:

"Didn't I tell you? Jiang Ning has already made it very clear, so I won't repeat it."

Li Yiming was still stubborn and thought his tricks were invincible. He was still acting in front of Gu Yuan to maintain his image as a good director. He said:

"Yes, she told me everything, but I still want to ask you, why? Is she dissatisfied with our crew or the script?"

"There's no other reason. She's just not happy with you. Don't worry. I'll cover all the expenses for the crew during this period. All you have to do is stop making things difficult for Jiang Ning."

Gu Yuan turned and left, throwing a check on the cabinet at the door before leaving. He didn't want to get entangled with such a person for too long. He would never waste his words on problems that could be solved with money, otherwise it would only consume his energy.

Li Yiming picked up the check on the ground, looked at the long string of numbers on it, and smiled strangely, as if he was mocking himself. After so many years of hard work, he still couldn't beat him.

But soon, he cheered up again. In his heart, Gu Yuan only went far because of his family. Without the empire built by his father, Gu Yuan would be nothing.

Li Yiming called Li Xi and said, "Come on, the heroine is yours."

"Really? That's great! Thank you, brother! I knew you were the best! And you're family after all!"

He could hear Li Xi's joyful voice on the other end of the phone. Although he didn't want to have any contact with Li Xi, now he actually wanted to use Li Xi to destroy Jiang Ning's limelight.

"Director, other departments are ready and waiting for you to watch."

The assistant shouted at him from outside the door. He quickly came to his senses, walked out, and announced the news to the rest of the crew:

"Thank you for your hard work, pack up and we will start over. But don't worry, I will not give you any less money."

After Li Yiming made the announcement, he returned to his own little room, leaving the actors in the courtyard in an uproar.

Extra 1: "Ah? What's going on?"

Extra 2: "I don't know. I heard that the female lead was replaced, but it shouldn't have anything to do with us."

Extra 3: "Why do you care so much? We are here to make money anyway. Don't worry so much. Just get the money."

Extra 4: "That makes sense."

There were many different opinions, but they were all useless. There was only one person who seemed out of place among them, and that person was Li Yang.

Li Yang turned a deaf ear to these words and did not express any opinion. He wanted to ask him in person, but Li Yang seemed to have the answer in his heart and was just waiting to hear it from Li Yiming himself.

Li Yang walked through the crowd and found the director's lounge. Without saying a word, he strode forward and questioned Li Yiming:

"Why did you replace Sister Jiang Ning? Is her acting bad? Or do you have to squeeze your sister in?"

Li Yiming put down his work and glared at Li Yang. His displeasure was revealed through his expression. He had given up pretending and yelled at Li Yang:

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. This isn't something you should worry about. Just play your role well. If you don't want me to replace you, get out of here!"

Li Yang had never seen him with this expression before, and felt as if Li Yiming had been possessed by someone.

But he was not afraid. Instead, he slammed the shaky table in front of him hard, knocking over Li Yiming's water cup. The water spilled all over the table and soaked the paper documents.

Li Yang was very close to Li Yiming, staring at him intently, almost gritting his teeth as he spoke: "Just go, I don't need you to chase me away!"

Li Yang didn't care what Li Yiming was feeling at the moment. After venting his anger, he turned around and left without any intention of staying.

It was because he had finally gotten into the role, and it was also difficult for him to show feelings with the heroine in the play. He and Jiang Ning finally had a little CP feeling. Now Jiang Ning is going to be replaced, which will naturally have a great impact on Li Yang.

Besides, he comes from a wealthy family and has no shortage of money. There is no need for him to make money from him. He is in this industry just because he loves it.

With enough confidence given by his family, Li Yang is even more confident to openly challenge Li Yiming.

Li Yang's action made Li Yiming very angry. He immediately called his company's manager and said, breathing heavily, "Banned him! Ban him now! I want him to never appear on the big screen again!"

"Okay Mr. Li, I'll do it right away."

The manager was also timid in front of him, fearing that if he did something wrong, he would be in trouble.

Li Yiming turned his chair around and faced the wall, but Li Xi happened to come in at this time.

She put on full makeup and wore a pretty floral dress. She looked fresh and refined, much better than before. It seemed that she had done a lot of preparation in advance and knew that he didn't like glamorous girls.

Li Xi walked forward with a smile on his face, not realizing that he was walking into a gun barrel.

She asked tentatively: "Brother?"

Li Yiming was angry. He turned around and looked at Li Xi's floral dress, which reminded him of Jiang Ning. When Jiang Ning first came to the crew, she also wore a floral dress like this.

"Brother? What are you thinking about?" Li Xi spoke again and blinked at him.

Li Yiming came out of his memories, took out a thick book from the drawer and threw it forward.

"Go memorize your lines."

Li Yiming threw the lines to Li Xi, but Li Xi still picked them up with a smile and said, "Thank you, brother. I'm leaving now. Bye."

But after she left the house, she changed her expression and cursed at Li Yiming's door: "Bah! Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you threaten me? You piece of trash."
