Chapter 380: Bustling
Bai Xue Ning's eyes were red, and she pointed at Xiao Mu with a look of grievance and said, "Director, she did it. Just now, when I came to the dressing room to put on makeup, I thought she looked unfamiliar, so I asked her why she was there. Not only did she not tell me, she also hit me without any reason!"
Xiao Muzhen was simply speechless at her ability to confuse right and wrong. With such a good acting skill, no wonder she won the Best Actress award.
Hearing this, the director looked at Xiao Muzhen, was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Miss, why are you here?!"
Just as Xiao Muzhen was about to speak, Bai Xuening said, "She must have sneaked in with the intention of stealing something or tampering with the props, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten so angry and hit me. If there weren't so many staff members on the scene, who knows what she would have done to me."
The staff on the scene lowered their heads and dared not speak. Although they knew that Bai Xue Ning was being unreasonable and slandering Xiao Muzhen, if they stood up for Xiao Muzhen now, they would lose their jobs, so turning a blind eye was the best approach.
The expression on the director's face turned cold. This play is a costume drama and involves many fighting and wire-hanging scenes.
If someone really sneaks in and touches the props with a mobile phone, it will definitely cause serious consequences.
Seeing the director's unhappy expression, Bai Xue Ning took the opportunity to exaggerate the situation.
"Director, let's call the police. Otherwise, if something happens, the consequences will be borne by the entire crew, and it may even delay filming."
After a few seconds of silence, the director nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and call the police."
Bai Xuening was delighted and quickly said to her assistant, "Call the police."
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it a bit unfair to me to only listen to Bai Yinghou's one-sided story?"
Bai Xue Ning sneered, "What else do you have to say? Besides the fact that you sneaked into the crew, and that you slapped me, we're not done with this!"
Xiao Muzhen ignored her and looked at the director and said, "I'm the costume designer hired by President Xie. I'm mainly responsible for the costume design for Queen Zhen."
Seeing that she looked natural and showed no signs of lying, the director believed her a little more.
However, before he could ask, Bai Xue Ning said coldly: "You still want to deceive the director. How can someone like you know Mr. Xie?!"
Xie Fu had always been arrogant and dismissive of her. She had tried to establish a relationship with him several times before, but he had ignored her. How could she possibly personally invite Chi Muzhen to join the crew as a designer?!
The director felt the same way when he heard this, but Xie Fu did come to the crew today, so he was still cautious and said to the assistant director, "Go and ask Mr. Xie to come over."
Bai Xuening frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Director Chen, you don't really believe what she said, do you?"
Director Chen looked calm, "I don't believe it, but what if what she said is true?"
If the other party was really a designer hired by Xie Fu, calling the police and having them take him away would definitely offend Xie Fu.
Bai Xue Ning pursed her lips and said nothing more. Suddenly, she thought that if Xie Fu didn't recognize Chi Muzhen when she came, her fate would be even worse!
Time passed minute by minute, and before Xie Fu arrived, the police arrived first.
"Who of you called the police?"
Bai Xuening quickly said, "It's me!"
She pointed at Xiao Muzhen and said coldly, "She was the one who sneaked into our crew and slapped me just now. She might have stolen something from our crew. Uncle police, you must interrogate her thoroughly! It's best to search her!"
The two policemen's faces turned half black. Not to mention that they were about the same age as Bai Xue Ning, even if the other party really stole something, they could only take her back for interrogation and could not search her at will.
"Then you all come with us."
The police were planning to take Bai Xue Ning and Xiao Mu Zhen to the police station together when a female voice suddenly came from the door.
"What's going on? Why is there such a commotion in the dressing room?"
Hearing Xie Fu's voice, Bai Xue Ning's face lit up with joy. She quickly turned around and walked up to Xie Fu, saying excitedly, "Boss Xie, a woman who's not from our crew sneaked in and claimed to be the designer you hired. I've called the police, and they're about to take her away."
Xie Fu's expression changed, and she looked at Bai Xuening with cold eyes, "Say it again?"
Bai Xue Ning thought Xie Fu was angry, and quickly pointed at Xiao Muzhen and said, "That's her! She must have wanted to steal something, and after being caught, she deliberately tried to get close to you. People like this must not..."
Before she could finish her words, Xie Fu said coldly, "Shut up!"
Her voice was so cold and sharp that it startled Bai Xue Ning and made her face pale.
Xie Fu ignored her and quickly walked up to the police. "I'm sorry, Miss Xiao is indeed the designer I invited. It was her first time on the crew, and I didn't expect such a misunderstanding to occur. I'm really sorry."
The police officer's expression turned grim. "Next time, make sure you understand the situation before calling the police. We don't want to waste police resources on you!"
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'm so sorry."
Bai Xue Ning didn't react until the police left.
She actually knew Xie Fu?! How is that possible?!
Xie Fu looked at Xiao Muzhen and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine.
"Why didn't you call me when something like this happened? I thought it wasn't an emergency and only came here after finishing my work."
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "It's not a pressing matter, but your crew's selection of talent is really disappointing."
Knowing that she was torturing herself, Bai Xuening unconsciously tightened her hands hanging by her side. The pain of her sharp nails digging into her flesh finally brought her back to consciousness.
Thinking about how she had just directed and acted out that Xiao Muzhen was a thief, and now it had become a joke, those staff members who usually disliked her must be secretly laughing at her in their hearts.
Xie Fu turned around and gave Bai Xue Ning a cold look, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and impatience.
"The investors are so strong, the acting is not that good, and I don't know how they got the Best Actress award."
Being directly mocked by Xie Fu, Bai Xue Ning's face turned blue and white, and the half of her face that was not hit by Xiao Muzhen was also burning.
She took a deep breath, turned to look at Xie Fu, and said coldly, "Boss Xie, aren't you going too far? I won the Best Actress award based on my own strength!"
Xie Fu didn't even bother to look at her. She said to Xiao Muzhen, "What happened today was my mistake. I'll treat you to lunch and then I'll take you to the company."
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "No need for lunch. I will pay double what the investors invested in this play, but I have one request. I don't want to see anyone slandering me for stealing on this crew anymore."
As she finished speaking, the entire dressing room became extremely quiet.
It seems that Bai Xue Ning has hit a wall this time and has offended someone she can't afford to offend.
After several seconds, Bai Xue Ning sneered, "My boyfriend invested 50 million in this play. Let alone 100 million, I'm afraid you can't even come up with 10 million, right?"
