Chapter 54 Even the donkeys in the production team dared not do this.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Shiyi frowned and looked at Pei Zhiyi, his eyes showing nothing but impatience and irritation. "I'm busy here, you go back to the crew to film first. We

can talk later if you have anything to say." Having just received a rejection from Di Chen, Zhou Shiyi's mind was full of thoughts on how to bow to Pei Zhiwan in a decent and sincere manner.

As for Pei Zhiyi's abnormal emotions, he really didn't care.

But in Pei Zhiyi's eyes, this kind of reaction was almost equivalent to cheating.

"Didn't you say you were going to work overtime at the company?" Pei Zhiyi raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Shiyi, then took a step to the side to block his way, "How come I didn't know when Brother Shiyi's company's business was developed in the hospital?"

While speaking, she kept glancing around with the corner of her eyes.

Zhou Shiyi would definitely not go to the hospital for no reason. Even if he was sick, he would not choose the Lin family's hospital for treatment. So there must be something fishy here.

"Are you, checking on me?"

Zhou Shiyi suddenly realized something, and looked at Pei Zhiyi with a sneer, "Zhiyi, are you suspecting that I'm cheating?"

As soon as these words came out, the temperature around them instantly dropped.

Pei Zhiyi was frightened by his tone, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

"Brother Shiyi, I didn't mean that. I just..."

Pei Zhiyi didn't expect that Brother Shiyi, who was always good-tempered to her, would suddenly turn hostile. She hurriedly grabbed his hand and tried to explain, but he shook her off before she could finish her words.

"You didn't mean that. What did you mean?"

Zhou Shiyi pulled Pei Zhiyi's wrist and dragged her to the stairwell. He lowered his voice and asked, "You hired someone to follow and secretly photograph me, and then suspected that I was cheating, so you came to question me in person. Pei Zhiyi, you're great." A

cold and fierce breath came over her face. This was the first time Pei Zhiyi realized what Zhou Shiyi looked like when he got angry.

He had never treated her like this before. Zhou Shiyi would report everything he did to her before, and she could check his phone at will. He was reluctant to say a harsh word to her.

Why did Zhou Shiyi become like this?

Pei Zhiyi felt more and more sad the more she thought about it, and she couldn't help sobbing and crying.

Tears blurred her vision, she pulled Zhou Shiyi's sleeve and shook her head, choking and trying to explain something. But

Zhou Shiyi didn't have the patience to wait for her to speak, and shook off Pei Zhiyi's hand that was pulling his sleeve, then turned around and left without looking back.

...

Pei Zhiwan returned to the crew before the extra leave given by Director Li was used up.

It was not for anything else, but mainly because since that uncle Sun escaped a disaster with her reminder, all the uncles and aunts who were on good terms with her stepfather gathered around.

This group of people worshipped her like a bodhisattva every day, just to ask a few more questions about which company had a bad record and whether this project would fail again one day.

It was fine once or twice, but after a few days, Pei Zhiwan couldn't bear it.

In the end, she avoided the family, but not the crew.

She was away for a total of four or five days, and when she came back, the director and screenwriter went crazy and suddenly started to drastically change the script.

If it was just changing the script, it would be fine, but they had to drag her into it.

It was a bloody love drama, and now she, a vicious female supporting role, is about to become the heroine.

"Director Li, if you give me more roles, I will have to talk to you about raising my salary."

After being dragged by the director to the small dark room to work overtime and stay up late to revise the script again, Pei Zhiwan let out a long sigh and tried to refuse, "It was written in our previous contract that I will leave the group before September at the latest."

Hearing this, Director Li turned around and looked at the screenwriter next to him.

The two of them muttered something, and when they turned around again, they still looked indifferent.

"It's like this, your salary can be increased to the standard of the heroine," Director Li smiled at Pei Zhiwan with a flattering face, "but the working hours have to be increased. The screenwriter and I have calculated that as long as the working hours are doubled, all the scenes can be shot by the end of August if everything goes well."

Huh?

Do you want to hear what you are talking about?

Pei Zhiwan looked at Director Li in shock.

Even the donkeys in the production team didn't dare to do that!

Besides, don't really think she wouldn't move. She and Pei Zhiyi were both new and unknown actresses, and the difference in pay between the first and third female roles was only 20%.

With this 20% pay, she had to work twice as many hours. She was just a money-grubber, not a fool.

"Forget about the pay for the leading actress," Pei Zhiwan hesitated, and had a new idea under Director Li's expectant eyes, "Just the pay standard for the third female role, but I have a request."

"You tell me."

Director Li asked almost immediately, "As long as you can say it, we will do it if we can."

Pei Zhiwan smiled at Director Li again.

Just do it, she was just afraid that they wouldn't do it.

"For the extra hours I worked, the crew will give me overtime pay. Isn't that easy?" Pei Zhiwan said with a smile, "1.5 times the overtime pay on working days, double on rest days, and triple on statutory holidays."

Calculated this way, the pay is much higher than the pay of the leading actress.

Pei Zhiwan made a small calculation in her mind and felt that the performance of this play was not in vain.

"This, it has never been paid like this before," Director Li was dumbfounded at the time, "No one in the circle has ever done this before. Zhiwan, do you think this is..."

"It didn't happen before, but it will happen in the future," Pei Zhiwan interrupted Li Dao's words and deceived him seriously, "Look, if I am always paid according to the standard of the leading actress, if this matter is known to Mr. Zhou or Pei Zhiyi, it will be difficult to explain.

But if you say it is overtime pay, it will be different."

This is the truth.

Director Li felt a headache when he thought of Pei Zhiyi's pretentiousness during each filming, so much so that he didn't even notice that he was fooled by Pei Zhiwan.

After finalizing the matter, Pei Zhiwan came out of the small dark room where the director was revising the script, with a smile on his face.

Cheng Feng happened to see it and couldn't help but shudder.

The last time Pei Zhiwan showed this expression on her face, Pei Zhiyi was slapped twice.

This woman is not a good person.

"Pei Zhiwan, are you... picking up money?"

"More or less," Pei Zhiwan wanted to explain, but she was too lazy to explain, so she just nodded and agreed, "I'll treat you to dinner after the show." The

increase in her salary is no different from picking up money for nothing.

Cheng Feng certainly didn't believe it.

He turned his head and glanced at the director. Director Li realized belatedly that he had been fooled, and he was almost wearing a mask of pain.

It was confirmed that Pei Zhiwan must have gone to cheat Director Li of money.

Then this meal would be a waste.

"Then I want to eat at the new barbecue restaurant in the movie city," Cheng Feng replied, "and also eat seafood."
