Chapter 561: Clean Up Lin Wansu, Toss Her Out of the Set

Hearing the suggestion, Lin Wansu’s demeanor changed. “Forget it, I won’t hold a grudge against her,” she said.

She gathered her things in a fluster under Sister Zhu’s puzzled gaze and left the makeup room.

The actors and actresses still on set were aware that Lin Wansu had been fired.

Meng Xue, a pragmatist to the core, distanced herself from Lin Wansu but was stopped by her.

“Meng Xue, if she can do this to me today, she can do the same to you tomorrow,” Lin Wansu said with a cold laugh. “You’re still part of the crew, which means you still have a chance. You must seize it.”

Without making a sound, she slipped a bank card into Meng Xue’s pocket. “It’s up to you now. You’ve been with her for two years; you know her best.” Meng Xue pursed her lips and remained silent, her gaze darkening.

Lin Wansu was unceremoniously expelled from the production, and Gu Zhinan was also struggling.

At 29, her window for idol dramas was closing, making this a crucial time for her career transition.

She had been confident about securing a role in “Crossing the Demon Realm” but was unexpectedly surpassed by Si Fuqing.

Facing the end-of-year national drama awards, Gu Zhinan was competing for the Best Actress award.

This setback hit her hard.

Biting her lip, her face pale, she asked her agent, “Sister Hua, what should we

“Let’s go see Mr. LI,” Sister Hua said determinedly. “She hasn’t even finished filming this drama and she’s already stepping on you. What will happen when it’s done?”

Meng Xue’s rise was attributed to stepping on others, and Sister Hua was determined not to let Gu Zhinan become the next victim.

Yet, the audition tapes of Gu Zhinan and Si Fuqing couldn’t be falsified.

Sister Hua had to admit, acting talent was crucial.

An 18-year-old girl portraying of the warrior goddess in the later stage of the drama with such depth was truly frightening.

Upon their arrival at the LI residence, Gu Zhinan and Sister Hua encountered a tall man leaving.

“That’s President LI,” the butler warned with a glance. “He’s the most beloved descendant of the old master.”

LI Yanchen, the business genius of his generation in the LI family.

The old master had been reluctant to pass the LI Corporation to the second branch of the family, but LI Yanchen proved his capability at just 24.

Though the loss of a direct grandson was a blow to the old master, he had many grandsons and had grown less concerned over the years.

Only LI Yuzhi remained steadfast. Sister Hua awkwardly clarified, “We didn’t mean that.”

Gu Zhinan knew her place.

Having the LI family’s support was more than enough; she harbored no illusions about the next head of the family.

They went straight to meet Third Master Ll. He was like a sugar daddy to Gu Zhinan, having supported her significantly.

“Mr. LI, she’s a newcomer who signed with Sang Yanqing, and now she’s bullying our Zhinan,” Sister Hua complained. “Isn’t this also a slap in your face?”

Third Master LI squinted, his expression awkward. “What do you suggest?”

“We just want to teach them a lesson,” Sister Hua said. “I heard Mr. LI is acquainted with the head of the Great Xia Escort Agency. Asking them to avoid the drama’s set should be easy…”

Director Tang Haiqiu preferred on-location shooting without much reliance on special effects, except for xianxia martial arts scenes.

The script included scenes in deserts and snovvy mountains, both extremely dangerous locations.

Without professional bodyguards, navigating these areas would be nearly impossible, making filming a Herculean task.

Injuries were likely, and lives could be at risk.

Gu Zhinan’s grievances could not go unaddressed..
