Chapter 398 Concubine

The words are divided into two parts.

Meanwhile, on the film set at the film studio, Wang Luyao took the mobile phone from Li Xiang and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What were you talking about? Why do you look so dejected?"

Li Xiang was initially very happy to hear that Wang Yan had called him, but after the call, he looked completely dejected.

"nothing."

Li Xiang shook his head dejectedly. It was all his fault for misunderstanding. Not only did he fail to help the goddess, but he also left her with a bad impression.

I really shouldn't have done that!
"You don't look like nothing's wrong."

Wang Luyao stared at him suspiciously for a while. If it weren't for the fact that they had already rehearsed and all eighteen people were indispensable, she would have wanted to remove Li Xiang from the competition.

Fortunately, the other party performed reasonably well during the rehearsal, which relieved her a little.

However, after the rehearsal, the assistant director approached Wang Luyao, saying unhappily, "We told you long ago that we couldn't steal Miss Guan's thunder! Why did it turn out like this?!"

"What do you mean?"

Wang Luyao frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'made it like this'? Weren't these dance moves approved by your crew?"

Adjustments were possible, but the other party's attitude made her very unhappy.

"But the current results aren't ideal; we need to readjust! You need to come up with a new plan quickly, or what if it delays the filming?!"

Seeing that Wang Luyao still dared to refute him, the assistant director's attitude became increasingly hostile, even carrying a hint of questioning and threats.

Although when they first moved into the film studio, Sin Ki-yin specifically emphasized that the Hong Kong people in the crew should keep a low profile.

However, in the past two weeks, everyone around them has looked up to them and tolerated them in every way. As a result, many people have unconsciously become arrogant and condescending, making a big deal out of every little thing and acting superior.

Ironically, every time they act out, they usually manage to elicit a fearful response from the other party, which only fuels their arrogance.

But this time it didn't work.

"What kind of attitude is that?!"

Wang Luyao retorted unhappily, "It's clearly a problem on your side. Instead of discussing it properly with us, who are you threatening? So what if we can't film? If we can't film, that's your crew's problem!"

Since following Zhang Yan, she has been used to smooth sailing. Apart from Zhang Yan and Chen Hong, no one has dared to treat her like this. In addition, she also knows Zhang Yan's attitude towards the people of Hong Kong, so she has even less to fear.

"you you……"

The assistant director was furious that the other party was even more defiant than him, and threatened again, "If that's your attitude, then I'm going to contact your company!"

"Then let's get in touch!"

Wang Luyao said without fear: "It's a good opportunity to call your director over as well, let him and our boss Zhang judge this together, and see who has a bad attitude and who is being unreasonable!"

As she spoke, she was about to go and seek justice from Xian Qiran.

The assistant director never expected that his infallible threat would backfire on Wang Luyao, so he dared not let her take the matter to Xian Qiran.
So they quickly stepped in to stop each other, and the two sides pulled and tugged at each other, which soon attracted the attention of other people.

Several male dancers from the dance troupe gathered around first, and the crew, including the assistant director, also rushed over to support them, and it seemed that a conflict was about to break out between the two sides.

"What are you doing?!"

At this moment, Sin Ki-yin, who was talking to Rosamund Kwan, finally noticed something was wrong and hurried over to ask what was going on.

The assistant director rushed to criticize Wang Luyao for not cooperating, and brought up Rosamund Kwan's health condition, saying that he was also considering Rosamund Kwan's feelings and that's why he hoped the dance troupe could make some adjustments.

Wang Luyao was determined not to let him be wronged, so she also criticized the assistant director's attitude, saying that she was there to help, not to be a slave to be ordered around by the crew, so why should she have to put up with their sour faces?!
After listening to both sides, Xian Qiran felt that things were a bit complicated. If Wang Luyao wasn't the one to fulfill his dream, he would definitely choose to side with his family rather than with what was right.

After all, they were just a few extras dancing; if they didn't listen, they could be replaced. But the assistant director was someone you had to spend a lot of time with on set.

But now...

Just as he was hesitating about how to smooth things over, Zhang Yimou suddenly came over and pulled him aside, indicating that he should listen to what the base staff had to say first.

This person was sent by the base to cooperate with the filming. Xian Qiran originally thought that he was going to speak up for Yuanmeng, since the relationship between Yuanmeng and the base was common knowledge.

The other party pulled him aside and whispered a reminder: "If it were just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but this Commander Wang is not someone to be trifled with. He has connections with General Manager Zhang... you know what I mean."

Upon hearing this, Xian Qiran frowned, offered the other person a cigarette, and whispered, "Could you explain things more clearly?" The staff member, partly to avoid making a scene and partly to curry favor with Xian Qiran, recounted everything he had heard.

After listening, Xian Qiran remained silent for a moment, then called the assistant director aside and said, "This was indeed caused by your bad attitude. You'd better apologize to the other party, like this..."

"Why?!"

The assistant director's face turned ashen. He was a man of pride, and it would be a laughing stock if he were to apologize to a young girl from mainland China in public.

"This Commander Wang is nicknamed 'Concubine' in Yuanmeng. Guess who's behind her?" Xian Qiran asked sternly. "Or do you think your influence in Tianjin is greater than that of General Manager Zhang?"

The assistant director fell silent.

Although he didn't know the 'insider information,' he had heard about the things Zhang Yan had caused in Hong Kong, and that when Lung Wu came to the mainland recently, he had to make a special trip to pay homage to Zhang Yan...

His expression changed several times, but in the end he obediently apologized to Wang Luyao.

This scene made Wang Luyao look good in front of her fellow group members and also made many people curious about her identity.

…………

"Gong Li, Gong Li?!"

In a corner of the filming set, Gong Li, dressed in costume, was reminiscing about the unpleasant and exhilarating events of the previous day when she was startled awake by Zhang Fengyi, who played Liu Bang.

"what happened?"

She adjusted her mindset, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "You want me to rehearse with you again?"

They play a married couple in the drama, so they have the most scenes together.

"No."

Zhang Fengyi squatted down to the side and muttered in a low voice, "Did you see that scene just now? You really have to have connections to get ahead in this industry. We've never seen a Hong Konger apologize to a mainlander on a film set before."

Although it's not like twelve years ago when Liu Xiaoqing "rebelled" on set, with Hong Kong people living in luxury while mainland actors were eating meager meals, discrimination from Hong Kong is still ubiquitous.

That's why Zhang Fengyi felt compelled to express his feelings.

"What apology? What happened just now?"

But Gong Li became even more confused after hearing this. She had been lost in thought in the corner and hadn't noticed what had just happened.

"You didn't see it?!"

Zhang Fengyi was speechless for a moment, and then he embellished the story of what had just happened.

"Did the assistant director apologize?"

Gong Li was somewhat surprised. Even if this happened to her, the production team would most likely have just let it go. She never expected that the head of a dance troupe would have such great power.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who's behind Wang Luyao?"

Zhang Fengyi glanced around and whispered, "I heard she's nicknamed 'Concubine' in Yuanmeng. Do we even need to ask who's behind her?"

"You mean... how is that possible?!"

Gong Li subconsciously stood up, her expression shifting between light and dark.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fengyi was very puzzled: "Isn't it normal for a young, promising, handsome and rich boss like Mr. Zhang to keep a mistress or concubine?"

"But, but..."

Gong Li was completely stunned. She knew that Chen Hong had tricked her by saying that after she became pregnant, Zhang Yan would have no one to take care of him and that she was afraid he would take advantage of her.

But if this 'concubine' is real, then isn't Chen Hong just deceiving herself?!
Didn't she know about this?
Even an outsider like Zhang Fengyi had heard about it, so how could Chen Hong, with her position in Yuanmeng, not know about it?!
What is going on? !
What exactly is Chen Hong plotting?!

Countless thoughts flashed through Gong Li's mind, but she couldn't grasp any of them.

No, at least one thought is certain.

That means she has to find Chen Hong and get to the bottom of things, to see what this woman who's always lying is really up to!
