At this moment, Wei Ziyao had some words stuck in her throat that she had to say.

She said to Zhai Ming in a tactful way,

"Director Zhai, your big boss has already chosen the male and female leads. You should have told me earlier, then I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."

Zhai Ming was so intelligent, how could he not understand the meaning behind her words?

He replied earnestly, "Oh dear, you've misunderstood me. Ms. Wu doesn't participate in the casting process; I make all the decisions. She just brought someone along for the normal selection. If I didn't like her, I wouldn't have used her. I can only say that Ms. Wu has a truly unique eye for talent!"

"Oh, really?"

Wei Ziyao's gaze was sharp as she looked directly at Wu Youyou. Her tone was calm, yet it carried an invisible pressure.

"Mr. Wu, we've known each other for a long time. I really like your company's 'The Glamorous Imperial Concubine.' Since you can't play the female lead, how about I play the villain Jiang Feifei?"

Wu Youyou's gaze met Wei Ziyao's directly. What Wu Youyou saw in Wei Ziyao's eyes was not love for the role, but provocation.

That look in her eyes was exactly like the way He Qiangwei schemed against her.

Wu Youyou's tone was unusually cold, clearly showing that she looked down on her.

"I'm sorry, this role is very important. Director Zhai has already found a suitable candidate, so there's no need for Miss Wei to trouble herself!"

Wei Ziyao's anger exploded in the air, but only Wu Youyou could truly feel it.

Wei Ziyao smiled; to everyone else, her smile was polite and poised.

"It doesn't matter anyway, I'll be very busy with a lot of things to handle with Shi Zhan. I hope you can produce an excellent film, and I'll definitely watch it. Oh, by the way, if you run out of funds during filming, just let me know. The Wei family has plenty of money!"
