Chapter 430: Thanks to You
The police left soon, leaving Lin Yilan alone and disheveled in the wind.
Lin Yilan thought about what the police said in her mind, but she still couldn't figure out why Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't want to be harassed by Deputy Director Ma and had to lie in front of the police.
Just when Lin Yilan was puzzled, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly ran over and grabbed Lin Yilan's hand, "Lin Yilan, I'm sorry."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes were red and she looked very aggrieved and scared.
Lin Yilan was a little angry at first, but when she saw Zhang Xiaoxiao's pitiful look, she couldn't feel angry anymore.
However, her kindness was taken for granted, and Lin Yilan was not in a good mood towards Zhang Xiaoxiao. "Why are you saying sorry to me now? Couldn't you have just told the truth to the police?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head. "No, Deputy Director Ma has a lot of power behind him. If I really tell the truth and Deputy Director Ma is sent to prison, I will definitely die a miserable death. I'm sorry, Lin Yilan, I don't want to cause trouble."
"Why are you so weak?" Lin Yilan was very angry. "Is it because he has a powerful background that you dare not say a word when he harasses you?"
Lin Yilan was so angry that her words became somewhat impolite.
"Lin Yilan, I'm different from you. I'm the only child in my family and I have to support my parents. I'm helpless outside and I don't want to cause trouble. If you cause trouble, Huo Juncheng will help you solve it. I can only rely on myself, and if I'm not careful, I will implicate my parents." Zhang Xiaoxiao said feeling aggrieved.
In fact, Zhang Xiaoxiao already felt some resentment towards Lin Yilan for helping her. Deputy Director Ma was beaten by her, but he didn't dare to offend Huo Juncheng, who was behind her. He would definitely take even more horrific revenge on her when the time came.
How could a person like Lin Yilan, who was holding Huo Juncheng's thigh, know the situation of a small character like her in society?
But Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to offend Deputy Director Ma, nor could she offend Lin Yilan. She could only ask Lin Yilan not to be angry with her first, and then find a way to calm Deputy Director Ma down.
Lin Yilan made Deputy Director Ma lose face in public. Deputy Director Ma must be furious. Who knows how he will deal with her.
When Zhang Xiaoxiao thought of this, she felt like crying but had no tears.
"Lin Yilan, thank you for helping me this time. I'm very touched, but I can't afford to offend you and Deputy Director Ma. I just want to continue making my way in this city." Zhang Xiaoxiao bowed to Lin Yilan, "Please don't blame me."
Looking at Zhang Xiaoxiao like this, Lin Yilan suddenly understood what the police meant when they said, "One is willing to fight, the other is a masochist."
When she was bullied, she only knew how to endure it and didn't know how to resist. Even when others helped her resist, she still acted like a coward.
Isn't this what is called "being a jerk"?
"I don't blame you. This is your own decision. I hope you won't regret it later." Lin Yilan sighed and left Zhang Xiaoxiao. "However, I think if you want to make a living, it's not suitable for you to do it under my nose."
After Lin Yilan left the set, she directly fired Zhang Xiaoxiao and Deputy Director Ma as a shareholder.
Firing Deputy Director Ma was a matter of course. As for firing Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Yilan was not only angry with Zhang Xiaoxiao, but also wanted to protect Zhang Xiaoxiao from another perspective.
With Zhang Xiaoxiao's cowardly character, she is not suitable for this line of work at all. It would be better for her to change careers as soon as possible.
When Director Wang heard that Lin Yilan was going to fire Deputy Director Ma and Zhang Xiaoxiao, he immediately called Lin Yilan.
When Lin Yilan saw that the caller ID was from Director Wang, she didn't even want to answer the call. But Director Wang kept calling Lin Yilan, and she got impatient.
"Director Wang, if you're not looking for me about martial arts instruction, then I suggest you just hang up. I don't have the time to listen to your nonsense."
"Lin Yilan, I have no objection to you firing Zhang Xiaoxiao, but why did you fire Assistant Director Ma? I've already told you that offending Assistant Director Ma will do you no good. Just listen to my advice."
Lin Yilan rolled her eyes to the sky when she heard this.
"Director Wang, could you please not be so snobbish? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of that Assistant Director Ma. I can't let someone like that continue to linger under my nose."
"But Assistant Director Ma is our film's assistant director after all. If you fire him at this time, it will affect the filming of our movie."
"Director Wang, don't you think I know whether an assistant director who entered the crew through the back door will affect the filming of the movie? Don't treat me like a fool." Lin Yilan said in a cold tone.
Director Wang was very helpless, "Lin Yilan, you will drag us all down like this..."
Lin Yilan didn't want to listen to Director Wang's nonsense anymore, so she hung up the phone.
After firing Assistant Director Ma and Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Yilan felt a little better. However, she received news in the afternoon that their film had been suspended and had to be resubmitted for review because it failed the review.
Lin Yilan knew that Deputy Director Ma had a background and understood what Director Wang meant by "drag them all into the water."
Lin Yilan herself didn't mind the crew's suspension of work; not having a martial arts instructor meant nothing to her. However, she felt a little sorry for the other crew members who would also lose their jobs.
But she didn't think she had done anything wrong.
It was at this time that Vivian sent a message to Lin Yilan.
"Thanks to you, I have a rare holiday. Would you like to have a cup of afternoon tea this afternoon?" Vivian said in a relaxed tone.
Lin Yilan looked at the message, said "OK", and then turned off the screen.
It is said that the suspension of the film crew had the greatest impact on Vivian, but Vivian's mood was not affected at all. When the two met in the cafe in the afternoon, Vivian was smiling the whole time.
Lin Yilan, however, was in a bad mood when she thought about the many crew members who were going to lose their jobs.
"Lin Yilan, you didn't do anything wrong. I actually admire you." Vivian looked at Lin Yilan's dejected expression, leaned back in her chair and sighed. "To be honest, this Assistant Director Ma also made advances towards me before, but thankfully, nothing happened after that. I guess... I was lucky."
"What did he do to you?" Lin Yilan suddenly became nervous.
Sensing Lin Yilan's concern for her, Weiwei's lips curled up into a smile. "Who am I? Have I been in the entertainment industry for all these years for nothing? I threatened him that I have a video, and if he dares to attack me, I will make it public. I will make his reputation ruined even if it means I suffer."
"People are like that. Weakness leads to bullying." Vivian snorted. "But that's also because I'm a big shot. If I were to cause trouble, it would be hard on everyone. A small figure like Zhang Xiaoxiao doesn't have much leverage."
Lin Yilan frowned, "Is this kind of sexual harassment really that common in the entertainment industry?"
Weiwei looked at Lin Yilan's serious expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Lin Yilan, you are really innocent and cute."
