Hearing these words, Wen Ran's smile disappeared and he frowned.
"When was the decision made?"
Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "It's been about ten days. It must be Mr. Shang's idea. The crew has been busy selecting the female lead these days, and it was only decided in the past two days."
Wen Ran suppressed his irritation and anger and said, "I understand. Thank you, Director Jiang."
Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Jiang He speak again, "Actually, I really want you to continue playing the leading female role. I've been searching for a long time but haven't found anyone more suitable than you."
Jiang He sighed heavily.
"I didn't expect you to be Mr. Shang's man. If I had known earlier, I would have made you a deity on the crew. Because of this incident, I was replaced as the director, and now I'm just a handyman on the crew."
After saying this, Jiang He smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Wen Ran didn't know how to continue the conversation, so he exchanged a few polite words and hung up.
Then she slammed her phone onto the dressing table and clenched her hands into fists.
I was so angry that I wanted to go crazy.
Shang Jingchi had never told her this, nor had he even asked for her opinion.
Why should I make the decision on my own and let her decide not to act?
All the efforts she had put into the crew were wasted because of his words.
Wen Ran became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She picked up a coat at random from the closet and walked out the door.
She wanted to ask Shang Jingchi why he did this?
.
Shang Group.
The towering office building has no view of the top and adheres to the modern high-tech design concept, becoming a unique landscape in Beijing.
Wen Ran was wearing a white long skirt with a thin beige coat on the outside.
Her legs and feet moved, her ankles appearing and disappearing, revealing the sleek lines of her muscles as she walked.
The front desk staff smiled professionally when they saw Wen Ran come in.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?"
Wen Ran put his arms on the front desk and said, "I want to see Mr. Shang, but I don't have an appointment."
When the staff member heard this, he immediately retracted his smile and his voice became a little colder.
"Sorry, you can't come in without an appointment."
Another staff member nearby looked Wen Ran up and down, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "If you want to see our president, I advise you to change your clothes before coming."
"Why?" Wen Ran was puzzled.
"No matter how good-looking you are, no man would like you if you dress so plainly, especially a man with good taste like our president."
The staff member's tone was filled with undisguised mockery and sarcasm.
Wen Ran was too lazy to get angry with them.
I was about to call Shang Jingchi, but I realized I didn't have my phone with me.
I had no choice but to say, "Please dial Shang...Xu Yuan's number and I'll answer it."
The two staff members looked at each other and finally dialed the number reluctantly.
After the call was connected, Wen Ran said directly, "Assistant Xu, please come and pick me up."
Xu Yuan, who was standing opposite, was stunned when he heard the voice. Then, realizing it was Wen Ran's voice, he quickly asked, "Miss Wen is at the front desk?"
"right."
Two minutes later, Shang Jingchi's familiar figure appeared.
He was wearing a shirt underneath and hadn't even put on a suit.
He took swift steps, his angular and perfect features expressionless.
Xu Yuan followed behind, saying as he walked, "Miss Wen, why don't you use your own phone to call? Just tell me and I'll pick you up from the villa."
Wen Ran smiled awkwardly and said, "I forgot to bring my phone."
Shang Jingchi walked up to Wen Ran with a somewhat unhappy tone.
"Why are you here?"
Over the past year, Wen Ran had never been to Shang Jingchi's company or other places except for visiting his Xishan Villa.
This is the first time.
Wen Ran sneered in her heart. She naturally knew that Shang Jingchi didn't want her to appear here. After all, she was Shang Jingchi's shameful relationship.
"I have something to tell you." Wen Ran lowered his eyes and softened his tone.
After saying that, he felt annoyed in his heart, angry at himself for becoming timid as soon as he saw Shang Jingchi.
"Go up and talk."
Shang Jingchi left three words coldly, turned around and left.
Wen Ran trotted after him.
Xu Yuan knocked on the front desk to remind the staff.
"Next time Miss Wen comes, you can just invite her upstairs."
The two staff members nodded rapidly.
One of them gossiped: "Who is she to the president?"
"Who can get the president to come down to pick someone up?" After leaving this sentence, Xu Yuan hurried to chase Shang Jingchi who had already walked far away.
The two staff members were left looking at each other, making all kinds of guesses.
Wen Ran followed Shang Jingchi directly to the 48th floor.
This floor is the president's exclusive office floor. Only a few secretaries and assistants work on this floor, so it is extremely quiet.
Seeing Shang Jingchi coming up with a girl for the first time, they all looked at him curiously.
Wen Ran felt quite uncomfortable being stared at by them, so he simply waved at them generously.
Sure enough, the secretaries and assistants quickly lowered their heads and continued working, not daring to look around.
When they arrived at the president's office, Xu Yuan closed the door for them and went about his own business.
Shang Jingchi walked to the desk, turned around and said directly: "What's the matter? The doctor said you can't run around outside."
There was a hint of impatience in his voice.
Wen Ran took a deep breath, looked up at Shang Jingchi, and spoke.
"You asked the producer to replace me? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Just because of this matter, you came to the company specially?" Shang Jingchi asked back.
It was as if what Wen Ran asked was a trivial matter that was not worth him putting down his work and wasting his time with her.
"This drama is very important to me, and I'm already halfway through filming. I've put in so much effort. Why do you just want to replace someone?"
As Wen Ran spoke, tears began to flow, and it was unclear whether she was angry or just pretending.
Shang Jingchi didn't expect Wen Ran's reaction to be so big, and his expression froze for a moment.
Wen Ran also knew that she had lost her composure. She had always been gentle and well-behaved in front of Shang Jingchi, and had never been like this today.
She thought Shang Jingchi would be angry, but she waited for a long time but he didn't get angry.
Shang Jingchi walked to the back of the desk, opened the first drawer, took out a black card, and handed it to Wen Ran.
Said: "This is my card, you don't have to go to film anymore, I will support you."
Wen Ran stood there without reacting.
Shang Jingchi had no choice but to walk forward, grab her hand, put the black card in her palm, and emphasized his tone.
"From now on, you will live in Xishan Villa. Tell me what you want, and I will satisfy you."
After saying that, Shang Jingchi raised his hand to wipe the tears from Wen Ran's face.
Wen Ran took a few steps back as if stung by a bee, and the black card in his hand fell to the ground.
She understood what Shang Jingchi meant.
Shang Jingchi wanted to trap her in Xishan Villa and make her a canary who had everything handed to her.
