The assistant director's expression also turned sour after learning what had happened.

"They did it on purpose. After all, we switched to live streaming, and it was really troublesome that we were short-staffed and couldn't record."

If it's a pre-recorded broadcast, we can simply postpone the recording by a few days and shorten the post-production editing time to make up for it, but that's not possible for a live broadcast.

The director rubbed his temples and said, "This is our first and last collaboration."

He will definitely keep his distance from investors like that in the future.

He added with a stern face, "If they really withdraw their investment, our program definitely won't be able to continue."

If they had told them earlier, they could have found new investors. The fact that they're telling them now at the last minute shows they're deliberately playing hard to get.

Besides targeting Qingyou and Shi Yuxu, the producer behind the investor was definitely also deliberately targeting him, issuing a warning within the industry.

After all, she had declared that anyone who gave Shi Yuxu resources would be going against her.

The director never expected that after so long, the woman would still hold a grudge and target his show because of it.

He had actually considered not wanting Shi Yuxu to join.

However, his old classmate kept pestering him, and he thought that he didn't usually have any interaction with that producer, and he didn't make any dramas, so it wouldn't matter if he offended him.

Who would have thought that their biggest investor was connected to that woman?

Normally, he also has a temper; if someone doesn't invest, he'll replace them. He won't tolerate that woman trying to use him to establish her authority and bully Shi Yuxu.

But with only half an hour left before the live stream starts, he doesn't have time to find guests or investors.

He could only suppress his anger and say to his assistant, "Go and invite Qingyou over. I'll ask her what she thinks."

At this moment, Qingyou personally escorted Shi Yuxu to the recording location and met up with the other guests.

Her assistant came over and said that the director wanted to see her, which puzzled her.

However, he did not refuse and got up to follow.

Midway through, she received a call from Huo Xingchen.

Huo Xingchen said, "Youyou, someone is trying to mess with you. I just got the news."

Qingyou mentally considered who might be trying to sabotage her. "Is it Chu Lanwen, or the producer Shi Yuxu offended? Or perhaps the two of them teamed up?"

Huo Xingchen replied, "The two of them have joined forces."

"On the surface, it was the producer that Shi Yuxu offended who caused trouble, but behind the scenes, it was Chu Lanwen who approached the show's biggest investor and asked them to ask the show to let you replace him."

"If you don't agree to participate, Shi Yuxu will be forced to withdraw, and they would rather pay a penalty for breach of contract."

“As long as Shi Yuxu withdraws, the actress who originally withdrew will continue to participate, and Chu Lanwen will also push Wei Fanghuai in.”

"That investor is pursuing her aunt, and Chu Lanwen and the others have already prepared a remedial plan, so they agreed to her request without hesitation."

He sneered, "They really think they're something special. If they want to withdraw their investment, let them. I'll invest myself."

"You tell the director that in a bit, and I'll come over and talk to them about the investment."

"I don't believe the production team would let Shi Yuxu quit after this."

He recently went to the old man and asked for some money, which he originally planned to use to buy a building and move the company there.

Let's move the money here for investment now.

Chu Lanwen thought she was something special just because she had an aunt, and tried to use capital to suppress his daughter Youyou. He'll show her what it means to be suppressed by capital.

In this life, he decided to be Youyou's ATM, letting her play and do whatever she wanted in the entertainment industry.

From the moment Qingyou started mentoring Shi Yuxu, she was prepared for the producer he might offend to retaliate against her.

The other party hadn't reacted before, and everyone else thought the producer was too lazy to bother with Shi Yuxu anymore, but she guessed that the other party was probably holding back a big move.

Chu Lanwen didn't make a move, which was unlike that woman's usual behavior.

She felt that Chu Lanwen would also cause trouble.

Hearing Huo Xingchen's words, she thought, "He really came."

"Okay, I'll talk to the director about it later."

Then she squinted and said, "Since they want me to go, then I'll grant their wish."

"We'll see who regrets it then."

The producer and Chu Lanwen's goal was simple: to mess with her and Shi Yuxu and make them leave in disgrace.

If Shi Yuxu is replaced at the last minute before the live broadcast, she will become a laughing stock in the industry.

If Chu Lanwen were to bring Wei Fanghuai in to replace Shi Yuxu, it would be an even greater slap in the face for her in the industry.

Chu Lanwen wanted to suppress and strike her with concrete actions, and let people in the industry see that Chu Lanwen was more powerful than her.

He can also regain the face he lost because of the third male lead role.

Of course, Chu Lanwen and the producer also made another preparation.

They believed that if she was forced to agree to replace that person in order to participate for Shi Yuxu's sake, her performance would be very poor without prior training and preparation.

Especially since this is a live broadcast, if she acts weak and pretentious, it will definitely stand out and can't be cut out, and then she will be criticized by the audience.

In other words, regardless of whether she agreed or not, Chu Lanwen and the other person felt they could get back at her.

If the outcome is as the producer and Chu Lanwen planned, the two can use her to establish their authority in the industry.

Huo Xingchen knew how capable his Youyou was, and he understood what she meant as soon as he heard it.

"That's good. I really want to see how they react afterwards."

"The first live stream will last ten days, so you should participate in the first one. This will also attract attention and generate buzz, giving you wider recognition."

"This will make it easier for you to lead Shi Yuxu and the other two."
