Chapter 206 The Battle for the Leading Lady



She wants to make these people slowly despair, suffer endless torment, and ultimately live as the lowest and most wretched ants in the world, making them pay the ultimate price for everything they have done.

However, Cheng Meng was considering something else entirely. After thinking for a moment, she voiced her concerns: "Jingjing, are you really sure you've decided to do this? You've worked so hard to get your current market value up, and now you're asking to lower it. I'm afraid that once it drops, it will never be able to go back up. After all, nothing in this industry is truly airtight; there are too many cases like this."

"Sister Meng, you're right. There are indeed many such cases in the entertainment industry now. But those people have one thing in common: they are all living off their past achievements. I'm different. Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do."

Mo Jingjing looked up at Cheng Meng and gave her a reassuring look.

"Okay, I believe you."

Mo Jingjing has this charm now, giving people a strange sense of trust and making them feel particularly at ease.

Thanks to the popularity and traffic she gained from Mo Jingjing, Mo Yanyan's resources have also increased rapidly recently. The web drama she broadcast received a good response online thanks to the hard work of her online supporters.

Recently, the adaptation of popular topics into web dramas has been well-received and praised by the public. Riding this wave, Mo Yanyan has secured another web drama contract.

Last time it was a movie, this time it's a short TV series.

Some details have already been agreed upon on the phone. Once the contract is signed, the female lead will be hers; it's a done deal, there's no escaping it.

The events that have occurred recently, along with Mo Yan Yan's own vanity, have caused her to keep delaying the signing of the contract until now.

"Sister Yan, you're here. Please come with me to the small conference room to rest. The director just called to say he'll be here soon."

The receptionist was very excited when she saw Mo Yanyan walking towards her, and immediately went forward to greet her.

Mo Yanyan gave her a cold look: "What did you say? The director hasn't arrived yet? Are you kidding me? My time is extremely precious. Do you even want to work with me anymore? With this attitude, aren't you afraid I'll back out?"

"I didn't expect you to be so high and mighty. I remember you told all your fans and viewers about your upcoming schedule during the live stream. As long as you're not afraid of being ridiculed by netizens, the director shouldn't be afraid that you'll back out."

Suddenly, just as Mo Yanyan finished speaking, a cold and pleasant voice, one that could easily outshine her in every way, rang in her ears.

Mo Yan Yan turned around at the sound, and when she saw Mo Jing Jing's face, she frowned immediately, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at the director: "Director, how come you're with her? What do you mean?"

"Yan Yan, don't get agitated. You've always said in public that Mo Jingjing is your sister and that you care about her a lot. Now that you've actually met your family, why are you acting like this? If this gets online, it won't be good for you." Director Wu looked at Mo Yan Yan and quietly reminded her.

"You..." Mo Yan Yan understood the implication of these words and wanted to get angry, but she held back in the end. She had been trying to suppress Mo Jing Jing all along, but suddenly she smiled at the director and said, "Hehe, Director Wu, thank you for your reminder. We have already discussed some details of the cooperation a few days ago. Now I have time and I am here. I suppose your contract is ready. We can sign it now."

The director looked at his assistant: "Is the contract ready?"

“Everything is ready,” the assistant replied, gesturing for Mo Yan Yan to proceed: “Ms. Mo, this way please, let’s go to the conference room to sign the contract.”

"good."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan Yan, wearing high heels, arrogantly raised her chin and walked towards the conference room.

Seeing her ignorant and foolish appearance, Mo Jingjing couldn't help but laugh.

Director Wu also disliked Mo Yan Yan somewhat, but he showed much more respect to Mo Jing Jing: "Jing Jing, why don't you come and sit in the conference room too?"

"Director Wu, our contract has already been signed. Now it's your turn to sign with someone else, so it's a bit inappropriate for me to go in. Don't worry, I don't have many rules or regulations. You can do your thing. I'll just sit here and rest while my agent brings the car over."

And while waiting to see Mo Yanyan stomp her feet in anger but still be helpless against her.

The meeting room where Mo Yanyan was received was not large, and the soundproofing was not very good, so Mo Yanyan's frantic voice could also reach Mo Jingjing's ears.

"Smack!"

After reading the contract in front of her, Mo Yanyan threw it on the ground without saying a word.

"Miss Mo, what are you doing? Do you know how disrespectful you are to us?" The assistant immediately spoke up when she saw Mo Yanyan's shrewish behavior.

"Respect? Have you ever respected me? We agreed that I would be the female lead, but now you've given me a contract for the second female lead. Are you kidding me? Do you believe I'll post this online about your breach of contract and let all the fans and netizens come and judge for themselves!"

Mo Yan's face flushed red with anger, and she immediately spoke, attempting to threaten them.

Upon hearing this, Director Wu, who had been sitting there without saying a word, finally spoke. His calm expression showed no sign of anger, as if he had truly been frightened by Mo Yanyan's words.

Indeed, it is quite remarkable.

"Yan Yan, this isn't our first time working together. You should know my character well. Personally speaking, I'd love for you to be the lead actress. You can check your email carefully; we've shown you our sincerity. It's you who's been making excuses time and time again, dragging your feet on signing the contract."

As the saying goes, old ginger is spicier.

When Director Wu spoke, Mo Yan Yan's arrogance instantly subsided considerably.

Seeing this, Director Wu continued, "Yan Yan, calm down and take another look at our contract. You'll find that I gave you the role of the second female lead for your own good. Apart from the different role order, your salary and some of your screen time are no less than Mo Jingjing's."

"More importantly, you are someone I specially invited. Mo Jingjing came here at a lower price. I know you've been secretly competing with her. If you can beat her in this drama, you'll be the one sitting in her current position tomorrow."

Finally, Director Wu added a sentence at the end.

It was this sentence that completely moved Mo Yanyan.

"Okay, I'll sign this contract. I will definitely prove with my actions what a foolish decision it was to cast Mo Jingjing as the female lead!"

After saying that, Mo Yanyan picked up the contract and signed her name in the corresponding place.

He signed the papers and left.
