The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Xie Zhenting has been busy with work recently. When his secretary, Ms. Sun, reported his long schedule for the day, he didn't even respond.

She wanted to bring up some things but didn't dare to ask. She knew her boss had been very unstable recently.

Miss Sun just wanted to finish the report quickly and leave there.

She cleared her throat gently and began to speak: "President and General Manager Qu Jing plans to merge the two newly acquired companies into a film company, and he wants to take two days off to go to Beijing to inspect it."

This time, the boss replied, “Wait, wait…what do you think Qu Jing wants to do?

"The general manager wants to take two days off because he plans to go to Beijing for an on-site inspection," Secretary Sun replied quickly.

"Tell him I won't approve his leave and he won't go to the capital."

“But why is this happening?”

“Because…I’m leaving.”

Because she was filming a music video with Jin Xuechuan, Xu Lu arrived at the filming location almost a day late.

On the set, she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before hurriedly putting on her performance costume.

She used the time to put on makeup to familiarize herself with the script again.

In this scene, her character, Mrs. Zhao, is devising a plan to cause the heroine to have a miscarriage.

For Xu Lu, playing Mrs. Zhao was like playing her true self. She only needed to show a cruel, calculating, and power-hungry woman. For her, it was easy.

Although the director was unhappy that Xu Lu had delayed the entire crew's schedule by a day, he had to admit that she perfectly portrayed the role of Zhao's spouse that he had imagined in his mind. Watching her performance filled him with awe and also gave him chills.

The director was in awe of her beauty and her acting, but he was chilled by her cruelty.

During the filming process, Xu Lu never made any NGs.

The heroine of the movie, Xu Qixi, had to be shot several times per shot.

Director Zhang had enough and yelled, “Xu Qixi, what’s wrong with you? “Do you know how to do it? You are as stiff as a piece of wood. If you can’t do it, we’d better find a replacement for you as soon as possible. Look at Miss Zhao, you can at least learn something from her, right?

During the break, when every actor was in the dressing room, Xu Qixi took the opportunity to give a loud hint.

“Some people just don’t know their place. They’re just nobody but act like superstars. Such people have no place in showbiz. They’re just cheap actresses who only know how to use their bodies to get minor roles.”

Xu Lu sneered and drank the water Xiao Liu gave her.

Xu Qixi has a lovely face and she became a professional actor a few years ago.

Although she hasn't achieved anything particularly significant, insiders know she has some powerful backers behind her.

She has also invested a considerable amount of money in the TV series she is currently filming.

The other women around her were all third-rate actresses. One even tried to win her favor by interjecting, "Chisi, there's no need to bother yourself with a useless piece of shit."

"I heard she slept with the editor and the support staff on the production team, and that's how she got the role."

Women are strange creatures. When faced with a more beautiful woman, they instinctively become jealous—some even gang up on her to isolate her.

The person who is isolated now is Xu Lu.

Xiao Liu was so angry that his face turned red. He was about to refute those women when Xu Lu stopped him.

Xu Qixi continued, "You're right... She's just a disgusting, mean person, and she's really not worth my anger."

The crew informed them that the filming would continue, so Xu Lu stood up, walked to Xu Qixi's group, and gave them the sweetest smile.

Xu Qixi was furious.

Xiao Liu saw Xu Lu stretching out her hands while walking, and asked curiously: "Miss Lulu, what are you doing?

"We have a fight show this afternoon."

"What?"

Xiao Liu was at a loss. Why didn't he know there was a fight?

During the scene, Xiao Liu finally understood what she meant by "fighting" - she wanted to slap that bastard.

The scene in the afternoon was that Xu Lu's wife, Zhao Consort, was the dominant mistress at the time, while Xu Qixi's heroine was a humble servant who had just entered the palace and was favored by the emperor. Zhao Consort discovered this and was about to punish her.

Xu Lu slapped her hard. "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk back to me like that?" Then she spat.

Everyone knows that when filming a scene, actors usually just go through the motions, but Xu Lu's slap might have been real.

The brutality in Xu Lu's eyes, the swift slap, the cold smile at the corner of her mouth, and the contempt on her brows - Xu Lu grasped the character's personality so well that the director cheered loudly in approval.

However, while the director thought it was great, someone apparently didn't. Xu Qixi covered her face with her hands, stunned for a moment. Then, she regained her senses and started yelling at Xu Lu: "Did you just hit me?

Xu Lu frowned. "I'm sorry, this is my first time on set, I can't control myself well," she said coldly.

The director was furious. Xu Lu set a good tone for the scene, but Xu Qixi completely messed it up.

The director threw his headphones on the ground, stood up and yelled: “Xu Qixi, what the hell are you doing? If you don’t want to participate in this series, please leave here.

Xu Qixi's eyes welled with tears of grievance. "But director, did she really hit me?"

“Being able to hit you on set was exactly what I wanted,” the director said angrily. “I’ve never seen an actress as unprofessional as you. Your acting skills are so poor, and you don’t even have an ounce of professionalism. I shouldn’t have let you be in this movie.”

Xu Qixi was shaking with anger. "But she really hit me..."

"Get out," he shouted at her, "now..." without giving her a chance to finish her sentence.

The director was known for having a temper on set, but he never actually kicked anyone off set, so he must have been mad this time.

Xu Qixi's agent quickly ran over and began to apologize to the director, after which he persuaded Xu Qixi to return to the set.

Half an hour later, filming resumed.

Half of Xu Qixi's face was visibly red and swollen. She had to do some retouching until it was almost invisible.

"I won't let this go," she said, gritting her teeth at Xu Lu.

Xu Lu shrugged coldly and said, "Don't worry, I'll try harder - slap you in the face."

Then the filming continued, and Xu Lu slapped her again with all her strength.

This time Xu Qixi kept everything under control and did not lose his temper, but he was still stopped by the director.

“At this point, you should feel sad and aggrieved, not filled with hatred, do you understand?” the director instructed. “Let’s try again.”

Xu Qixi almost fainted from her rage, because she knew Xu Lu was obviously enjoying her revenge and would be happy to continue doing so as long as they kept repeating this scene. All she could do was to persevere and complete the task.

"How about it? Are you satisfied now?" Xu Lu asked with a smile.

Xu Qixi was beaten so badly that her face was swollen, her lips were cracked, her mouth was full of blood, and even her teeth were in danger of falling out.

After the filming, she stared at Xu Lu and almost shouted, "You will see..."

Xu Qixi wanted to say something even more unpleasant, but after saying only these four words, the pain was unbearable.

She rushed to the hospital with her agent, who feared she might have permanent disfigurements on her face.

The director had always had a bad impression of Xu Qixi, so even though he knew that Xu Lu hit her on purpose, he said nothing and just let the filming continue.

The entertainment industry has always been a cruel place.

“Are you okay, Miss Lulu?” Xiao Liu asked, handing her the thermos.

"I'm fine, but my hand is a little numb," she replied, turning her hand over.

Xiao Liu whispered, "Ms. Lulu, you were amazing just now."

Xu Lu rubbed her right hand.

This is not the end, this is just the beginning.

Winning the battle on set is no easy task.

There is still a lot to fight for.

Xu Qixi...she's just a child's game!
