Chapter 129 Charlie, You Are Really Unreliable

Yao Wenlong angrily said, "It's Wang Shasha! She wants to play Mu Guiying!"

"Wang Shasha?"

Wang Shuangshuang won the Best Actress award last year!

"Yes, that's her!" Yao Wenlong's fury could be felt even through the phone. "She heard our script was good, so she came over to grab it, saying she wanted to play the leading female role! She can act like a fool! When she acted in martial arts dramas, her hands and feet were as weak as if she had muscular dystrophy. She can do martial arts like a fool!"

Yao Wenlong was so angry that he started swearing.

The script he had worked overtime on all night and his dream of becoming a gold medal screenwriter were about to be ruined!

Anyone who destroys his great ideal will be his lifelong enemy!

A good script also needs good actors and a good director to bring it to life. If it is played by an unreliable person, even the best script will be wasted.

Even though Wang Shuangshuang won the Best Actress award, everyone in the company knew how unreliable her award was.

Besides, martial arts dramas are not what Wang Shuangshuang is good at, and her image has nothing to do with Mu Guiying.

So, when Yao Wenlong heard the news, he slammed the table in anger. But he was just a rising screenwriter and couldn't compete with Wang Shasha, who had a powerful backer.

"I understand. Don't be angry. I'll go to the company now."

Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed dangerously. After comforting Yao Wenlong, he picked up his bag and rushed to the company.

She went straight to Charlie's office, but didn't find anyone there, so she went to the office next door to find Wei.

"Awei, do you know that Wang Shuangshuang stole my drama?" Hu Xiaoxiao said directly.

Ah Wei asked Hu Xiaoxiao to sit down first, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "I know, not only me, but many people in the company know about it."

"What does Charlie mean?" Hu Xiaoxiao took the tea and asked.

Ah Wei sat back down, with a helpless smile, "Wang Shasha is very domineering because she has Mr. Qiu as her backer. She even dared to get involved in Sister Yu's drama, not to mention..."

What's more, it's a drama about her, Hu Xiaoxiao, a person without any backing.

Hu Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea slowly and said, "I want to know what Charlie thinks."

Ah Wei said: "Charlie has helped you to talk to Mr. Qiu about this matter."

"Okay, I'll wait for him in Charlie's office." After saying that, Hu Xiaoxiao took the teacup and walked into Charlie's office. He sat on the chair, sipping tea slowly, seemingly in no hurry.

But his mind was already racing, one plan after another flashing through his mind.

Nearly an hour later, Charlie returned to the office. He didn't look surprised to see Hu Xiaoxiao. Obviously, A Wei had already told him that Hu Xiaoxiao was looking for him.

He closed the door and said indignantly, "Xiaoxiao, Wang Shasha is really too much. She stole the show for you. I've already scolded her in front of President Qiu on your behalf."

"Have you got the drama back?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked him.

Charlie walked to the chair with a frustrated look on his face, sat down, and said helplessly, "I've tried my best. When this happened, I went to talk to Mr. Qiu, but I couldn't get him to do anything. Xiaoxiao, you should give up on the Mu Guiying drama. But don't worry, I've already secured enough benefits for you. Your new drama will still be a female-led drama, and the investment will be increased, giving you 30 episodes."

"I don't want any other dramas, nor do I want any with 30 or 40 episodes. I only want the drama "Mu Guiying". I have spent a lot of time and effort on this drama, and I will not give it to others." Hu Xiaoxiao stated her position firmly.

"However, Mr. Qiu has already expressed his opinion on this matter. Xiaoxiao, if you take a step back, you will have a broader view. When faced with unsolvable difficulties, it is better to try a different approach and gain greater benefits for yourself. Exchanging interests is also an unspoken rule. If you suffer a little loss, you may be able to gain greater benefits, don't you think?" Charlie persuaded.

Hu Xiaoxiao sneered and looked at Charlie, "Charlie, you've painted too many cakes for me, I can't eat them all. I won't accept the loss. If I suffer the loss this time, you will continue to make me suffer the loss next time, and the next time, and the next time. As long as I don't suffer the loss once, you will say that I am ignorant."

"I swear, this is the only time."

"You dare to swear, but I dare not believe it. You have lost your eloquence."

"Xiaoxiao, I'm also helpless." Charlie sighed.

Hu Xiaoxiao put down his teacup, stood up, and leaned his hands on the desk, looking down at Charlie. "Charlie, as one of your people, you should protect me. But you just watched helplessly as others reached into your bowl, snatched your food, and finally said, 'I'm helpless.'"

"Xiaoxiao, tell me, what do you want me to do? President Qiu personally picked Wang Shasha, saying she's a higher-profile figure in the TV station than you and has won Best Actress. If she plays this role, the ratings might be even better. For the sake of the company, what can I do?"

"For the company's benefit? Do you believe it? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell whether Wang Shasha's role in this play brings more benefits to the company or if I were to act in it. I don't believe you don't know, and neither does President Qiu."

Of course, Charlie knew very well that Wang Shuangshuang had not carried the show properly. The fact that she won the Best Actress award was the result of a game between the top management behind the scenes, not her real ability.

On the contrary, Hu Xiaoxiao has always relied on her real abilities to get to where she is today.

Charlie felt sorry for Hu Xiaoxiao, but in a company, sometimes strength comes second; relationships and the scramble for resources are more important. Furthermore, Mr. Qiu's message was clear: if there were good dramas to be made, they should prioritize their own children; their own children were the ones the company needed to promote.

All he could do was persuade Xiaoxiao to give up Mu Guiying in exchange for greater benefits. "Besides Mu Guiying, there are many other roles you can play. There's no point in hanging yourself on a tree."

"Why didn't you tell Wang Shasha this? With so many dramas and so many resources, you have to steal my drama? Charlie, you didn't find the resources for the drama Mu Guiying for me. I hired someone to make it myself. I put so much thought into it, and now you're telling me you're going to give it to Wang Shasha? Sorry, I don't accept this result."

"If you don't accept it, what can I do?"

"Charlie, you've been working in the company for so many years. I don't believe you're so useless. Ultimately, you're just not sincere enough to me." Hu Xiaoxiao looked at Charlie deeply and said, "Charlie, you're really unreliable. I'm utterly disappointed in you."

After saying that, Hu Xiaoxiao turned around and left Charlie's office without any reluctance.

It is better to rely on yourself than on others.
