"I'm not saying I'll blacklist you, but in the future, many good projects might simply stop considering the two of you. So sometimes you have to be like me, tactful in your dealings. Even if you complain about it to someone behind their back, you can't embarrass your 'capital daddy' to his face. Capital is my daddy too. You two haven't reached the point of being super famous yet, so you can't do that."

Jiang Wanwan, who was being mentioned, narrowed her eyes: "Influential? I doubt it."

Wen Yan also raised her hand to stand on her best friend's side: "As far as I know, the Fu family couldn't beat their competitors before, so they gradually shifted their focus to the entertainment industry. It's just that they've been gaining momentum in the last few years. The heavyweights are still the established entertainment companies."

The director nearly choked on his own blood: "...So all I said was for nothing, you two didn't listen to a word I said. To be honest, I'm starting to wonder if you two have some powerful backer. Tell me honestly, I promise I won't tell anyone. Or you two could just introduce me to one of them, I don't want to work anymore."

"That won't do, Director! What will happen to our show if you don't work hard!" Wen Yan immediately pulled a bag of jelly candies from her bag and handed it to the director. "Keep going, don't give up! Hard work always pays off. Let's cheer for you, Director! Go go go!"

Director: "...It seems you definitely won't be attending the dinner tonight."

"What kind of dinner party?"

"At Fu Anxian's dinner party, I asked if there was some misunderstanding between you two. She said she was planning to treat the crew to dinner and specifically asked you to come, saying it was a task assigned to her and she had to bring you. She said you should give me face. I really don't understand why you two would argue over a bracelet. Let's clear up any misunderstandings."

Wen Yan frowned, expressing her doubt: "If the purpose is to clear up the misunderstanding between her and me alone, why have a dinner party? Does she intend to apologize to me in front of so many people?"

"Apologize to you? What are you thinking in that clever little head of yours? How could she possibly apologize to you? You two left afterward and didn't know the tone of her voice when she offered to treat you to dinner. She was practically the epitome of a domineering CEO."

"Then why did you still let me go? From what she's saying, she's being generous and giving me a way out, wanting me to apologize to her tonight."

"Yes, didn't I just tell you? With your current status and position in the industry, it's not appropriate for you to offend her. Just toast her and say a few kind words to her later, and that'll be the end of it."

"NO!" Wen Yan immediately and without hesitation rejected the director's suggestion. "I can't possibly apologize to her because I did nothing wrong."

"What if she decides to replace you? Did you waste the last two months of filming?"

"If it's a free shoot, then it's a free shoot. If she wants to replace me, then she's in breach of contract and she'll have to compensate me. Besides, the show is almost finished filming. Although she's a senior executive at Fu's Group, the company isn't her sole authority."

"What if you're not included in any subsequent promotions or are isolated from them?"

"What era are we living in? The internet age! If she dares to mess with me so obviously, netizens will definitely criticize her! If she really does that, then I'll be the one who gets pitied, sympathized with, and ultimately reaps the benefits. Today's audiences aren't so easily fooled. Anyway, I'm not going. Of course, I know this will put you in a difficult position, so if she asks, just say I'm not coming, and that it has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Wanwan also made her stance clear at this moment: "I'm not going either."

"Sigh!" The director sighed. "I knew it would turn out like this. Well, I'll just say you two aren't feeling well, at least I can come up with an excuse."

"No need! Just say I'm not going. I just want her to know my stance. I'm perfectly healthy! I can stay up all night tonight!"

The director waved his hand: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you being so stubborn? It's better to listen to me on this! Also, there's no night shift tonight. If you two aren't going, you should get some rest. I need to send my equipment for repairs later, so I'm giving you two a night off."

"real?!"

"Is this even possible?!"

"Long live the director!!!"

"No, if living means constantly dealing with things like this, then I don't want to live forever. You two get ready, we're about to start filming."

Seeing that the director had left, Jiang Wanwan then asked Wen Yan.

"I heard you mention earlier that the Fu family has shifted its business focus because they can't compete with their rivals. If I'm not mistaken, the rival you're talking about should be your Shen family, right?"

Wen Yan nodded: "Yes, they are mortal enemies. So it's impossible for me to lower myself and apologize to her. If my family found out, how would I save face! To be honest, if I had known from the beginning that this drama was invested in by the Fu family, I probably wouldn't have come. It seems that in the future, when I accept a script, in addition to looking at the script itself and the director, I also need to see what kind of person the production company is."

"Is that what you're thinking?" Jiang Wanwan frowned slightly. "You haven't made your relationship with the Shen family public for so long. I thought you would value your career more."

"Yes, you're not disappointed in me, are you? I am ambitious, but you can't have just one good work, and you can only have one harmonious family. Compared to this script from the Fu family, I care more about my family. As far as I'm concerned about right now, family is more important than career!"

Jiang Wanwan nodded: "That's good. I think you're very real. Besides, you have a family that's more important than your career, which I don't. I haven't even told you about my situation yet."
