Wu Yu had been thinking about it a long time ago. Seeing Lei Bing like this, how could he still hold it in? He pressed her against the office desk. Not long after, an ambiguous sound rang out in the office.
A moment later, the sound disappeared. Wu Yu and Lei Bing rearranged their clothes and sat down.
Wu Yu took a puff of his cigarette and sneered, “Zheng Youcai wants to turn the tables? In his dreams!” He had been jealous of Zheng Youcai since they were in university. It was not easy for him to find a chance to vent his anger. He absolutely would not allow Zheng Youcai to win him again! Moreover, when he thought of what he had done over the years, his anger boiled.
“It’s too easy to make Zheng Youcai unable to achieve anything,” Lei Bing smiled charmingly as she picked up the tablet. Her finger tapped lightly on it. “Zheng Youcai’s movie used a bunch of unfamiliar faces that I’ve never heard of. He even made Han Yin look ugly in it. Now that the movie is so popular, it’s all thanks to that Mrs. Ji. And Wu Yu, you’re a big director with millions of fans, and the movie lineup is so luxurious. If you send out the makeup photos of your movie now, you can suppress the popularity of Zheng Youcai and the others.”
“Do you think I haven’t thought about it?” Wu Yu scratched his head in frustration. “But I’ve set the release date. Investors must approve the release date. It’s not something that I can release just because I want to!”
“Isn’t that simple?” Lei Bing smiled proudly. “Have you forgotten? Shen Sisi is now my artiste. I can’t order her around, but I can still coax her to change the date.”
Wu Yu’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing his expression, Lei Bing smiled and did it. She took out her phone and called Shen Sisi. She only picked up when the call was about to hang up.
Shen Sisi thickened her skin and asked someone to find Zhuang Li’s location. She was on her way there now. She had no mood to pick up the call. So, her tone was impatient. “Didn’t I say not to call me if there’s nothing else? I’m not interested in the work that you’ve arranged for me. I won’t do it!”
Lei Bing’s face stiffened. She could barely maintain her smile when she thought of the benefits that Shen Sisi represented. She said gently, “Okay, okay, okay. If you don’t want to do it, then don’t do it. It’s okay. I’m not calling to ask you to take the job. It’s about your movie……” She paused and couldn’t help but ask, “why didn’t you tell me that director Wu Yu wanted you to be the female lead for his movie? I only found out after Director Wu Yu mentioned it to me.”
If Wu Yu had not told her today, Lei Bing wouldn’t have known about it until the release date.
“What’s the use of telling you?” Shen Sisi said disdainfully, “If you can’t get me good film and television resources, then stop interfering in my business.”
Lei Bing was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She convinced herself Shen Sisi was her future money tree. Shen Sisi had Zhuang Li and the Zhuang Corporation. After remaining silent for a few seconds, only then did Lei Bing manage to suppress her emotions. “I have to help you make sure the rest of the issues about the movie. It’s not as simple as you think when entering the film set. You have to tell me so I can do the post-production promotion plan for you.”
“You know about it now, don’t you?” Shen Sisi was unconcerned and said irritably, “Is that why you called? Alright, I still have something on. I’m hanging up!”
“Wait a minute,” Lei Bing quickly stopped her and suppressed the discomfort in her heart. She briefly explained the matter. She discussed it nicely, “Director Wu Yu and I want to send out the photo today to suppress the popularity of Zheng Youcai and the others. What do you think?” Of course, she didn’t mention the grudge between Wu Yu and Zheng Youcai. She only said that there were competitors for the movies.
However, Shen Sisi grabbed another piece of information. “You said Shen Hanxing invested in this movie.”
“Yes,” Lei Bing hesitated. “Mrs. Ji and another woman invested in it. Mrs. Ji holds a majority of the share.”
“Then let’s release it!” Shen Sisi’s eyes flashed with joy. She agreed without hesitation, “Ask the publicity department to put in more effort. Since they are competitors on the same schedule, let’s see who is better, right?”
Judging from her tone, Shen Sisi seemed dissatisfied with Mrs. Ji. Lei Bing nodded thoughtfully. She smiled and said, “Of course, there are pros and cons to the movie’s beauty, and there are pros and cons to the investment. It all depends on one’s investment perspective. If Mrs. Ji loses money in the movie that she invested in, it’s Mrs. Ji’s fault.”
Shen Sisi chuckled and nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, then let’s do it.” She should let Shen Hanxing know that mud would always be mud. Even if Shen Hanxing stole her fiancé and became Mrs. Ji, she would always be pathetic.
