"Fine, let's withdraw our investment!"
"I, Jin Tangping, have been in the industry for so many years, filmed so many movies, and won so many awards. I don't believe that I can't find any other investment besides your An family and Shen family."
After angrily hanging up the phone, Jin Tangping rubbed his furrowed brows before turning to see Yu Ningning and forcing a smile.
"Xiao Yu, you brought Xiao Qin to film a movie."
Recalling her chance encounter with An Shujia at the hotel yesterday, Yu Ningning asked, "Did someone from the An family call to put pressure on us?"
Director Jin gave a wry smile: "Yes, they said I should kick Qin Zheng out of the crew immediately, or they would withdraw all their investment in the film."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Ningning with a hint of pity: "I've seen all sorts of strange and monstrous things in the industry over the years, but this is the first time I've ever seen parents like these."
"After all, we had been parents for twenty years, yet they went so far as to do such a cruel thing overnight, almost to the point of driving someone to their death..."
To be honest, Yu Ningning didn't quite understand either.
In the original owner's memory, when she was still in the An family, her parents were not very nice to her. They never hugged her or held her hand, and rarely even spoke to her. They often scrutinized her with very cold eyes.
Ningning grew up with a nanny. Her parents were like two distant and indifferent shadows in her life.
Now that her true identity has been discovered overnight, they treat her like a sworn enemy from a past life, determined to exterminate her completely.
It's hard not to have some doubts.
However, she has one good point about her personality: she never wastes a single bit of her emotions on people or things that are not worth it.
From the moment An Shujia and her parents tried to kill her, they had become complete enemies.
An enemy is someone you kill and then they're gone.
At most, we'll wait until he dies, then cut open his head to see what kind of bizarre and amazing pits are inside, just to satisfy our curiosity.
However, because her own affairs had affected Director Jin's filming, Yu Ningning still felt somewhat guilty: "The withdrawal of investment by the An Group must be a serious matter, and I'm sorry to have troubled you, Director Jin."
Director Jin was unwilling to take his anger out on anyone, and waved his hand, saying, "No need to thank me, I'm just doing this for myself. I'm someone who values acting above all else, and I'm willing to pay any price as long as I can make the films I like."
"Qin Zheng is the most suitable actor I have ever seen for the role of Qin Shi Huang."
"No matter what it takes, I will never give up on him."
"I'll figure out the investment later." Director Jin patted Yu Ningning on the shoulder. "Let's go eat first, little girl."
Yu Ningning's life principle is to avenge every wrong and repay every kindness.
Whether Director Jin did it for his own film or out of sympathy for her plight, he has undoubtedly given her a narrow path to survival.
However, Yu Ningning wasn't one to readily express her gratitude. Her career was still in its early stages, and she couldn't offer Director Jin any reward. Therefore, she simply kept this matter to herself.
At this time, Su Daji and Qin Shi Huang had each received their meals and found a small corner in the film crew, where they sat down on small stools.
The plate in front of Su Daji was incredibly lavish: a large box of fresh eel rice rolls, a bowl of fresh seafood fried rice, a whole top-grade roast goose set meal, a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall... and even an Australian lobster. These were all things that the male crew members had 'accidentally' ordered too much takeout and could only give to Su Daji.
Meanwhile, in front of Qin Shi Huang was only a box of lunch from the film crew.
Yu Ningning: ...
The contrast is too stark.
