Wen Meiling had a good plan in mind.
However, she never expected that she had picked the wrong target.
During the brief eye - contact just now, Gu Sisi also understood that this woman was actually after her. But did Gu Sisi feel lucky about this?
When the soldiers come, I'll block them; when the water comes, I'll dam it. The current situation was the result of her own doing. It was like a grand play that had ended in a fiasco.
Gu Sisi watched Wen Meiling growing increasingly flustered in the crowd, and her face grew colder.
If nothing unexpected had happened, it would have been her who was making a fool of herself in the crowd.
No matter how stupid Wen Meiling was, she knew she had made a mistake.
She cast a pleading look at the director, only to find that the director deliberately avoided her gaze.
She gritted her teeth, extremely angry inside.
It seemed that she couldn't admit her mistake. She had to stick to her guns and then try to downplay the matter.
Wen Meiling made a quick judgment in her mind.
Her body reacted even faster than her brain. The crumpled script in her hand was smoothed out.
She smiled gently and said, "I just think so. I'm just making a suggestion."
Her tone was as innocent as it could be.
It was hard to believe that she was the one who had made such a big fuss just now. Wen Meiling had a cute and playful look. With her round eyes smiling, many people found her behavior reasonable.
"We shouldn't let this matter involve us. Let's continue the meeting!" someone in the crowd said.
The meeting had been interrupted. It was just a "suggestion" matter, so the staff member who had reported the situation and interrupted the meeting naturally became the target.
"Don't barge in during important meetings like this next time," Ouyang Xin whispered. Although his voice was soft, there was blame in his words.
The staff member was stunned by this turn of events and couldn't say a word.
"Didn't you just say that the script was so bad that you couldn't act it out?" Huang Fangjuan wasn't that easy to fool. She crossed her arms and stared closely at Wen Meiling.
This couldn't be glossed over with a casual remark. Those who colluded with the powerful to do evil under her nose had to pay the price.
This was her usual style. Moreover, since Wen Meiling was so bold, Huang Fangjuan also wanted to see if she could deal with her.
She glanced at the director.
The director averted his eyes. Huang Fangjuan's half - closed eyes lit up. There was definitely something wrong.
Having known each other for a long time, she immediately saw that this was an obvious sign of guilt.
"Just a suggestion seems a bit too mild, doesn't it? People who don't know the situation might think that they must replace me," Wen Meiling's face still looked bad. She held her anger in her chest and walked up to the director, forcing him to face the situation.
If the result was not satisfactory, she could just leave. She wouldn't put up with this kind of grievance.
"Sister, you're exaggerating. I didn't mean that," Wen Meiling said guiltily.
The reason she was backing down now was that she was afraid of losing everything. She had a bright future ahead of her. Why stumble on this path?
Moreover, in this matter, Gu Sisi was just an onlooker. How could she vent her anger?
You're lucky this time! she thought viciously. Then a smile bloomed on her face. She said to the director, "I caused this misunderstanding. How about I invite this senior out for a meal to apologize?"
The director had been struggling and hesitating. Seeing Wen Meiling being so sensible later, he laughed and tried to smooth things over.
He wanted to put his hand on Huang Fangjuan's shoulder, but she dodged.
"Juanzi, she's just a junior. Let's not hold it against her. Let's go back to the meeting," the director's face looked a bit stiff.
This matter was neither big nor small, and the decision now rested in Huang Fangjuan's hands.
Huang Fangjuan glanced at the director. That look made the director's heart skip a beat. He knew it was over.
Although Huang Fangjuan didn't know why this trouble - maker's attitude had changed so quickly, having been in the society for so many years, she wasn't someone who could be easily appeased with just a few words or a meal.
For those she didn't like, she even thought it was a disgrace to have a meal with them.
"If I were you, I'd just leave now! You're a coward, but I'll still teach you a lesson," Huang Fangjuan whispered in Wen Meiling's ear.
No one else could hear what they were saying.
Only to see tears well up in Wen Meiling's eyes. Just as she was about to say something, Huang Fangjuan laughed.
"I just said what I wanted to eat, and this girl started crying. It seems it's a bit too expensive," Huang Fangjuan was acting so well at this moment that no one could detect any flaws.
Those who didn't know her well really thought that was the case. Only the director, based on her personality, knew that this was completely impossible.
He was anxious and worried.
"If you didn't do it on purpose, I'll let it go," Huang Fangjuan said meaningfully. "And the meal is not necessary."
"Let's go! Hurry up," her face suddenly became serious, and she said to everyone.
Everyone left with Huang Fangjuan. Gu Sisi looked back in the crowd and somehow felt that this matter definitely wouldn't end here.
Wen Meiling watched the woman's back and clenched her fists. That woman dared to threaten her!
"Go and find out about her background!" she said to Xiaoying beside her.
She had come in a hurry and hadn't even figured out the background of the people around her.
"Say it! What do you want to talk to me about?" Huang Fangjuan sat in front of the director listlessly.
After the meeting, she had just started working when the director had called her to his office.
The director folded his hands on the table and smiled kindly, "You see, about what happened just now..."
"If you're talking about what happened just now, there's no need to say anything. This matter is over and the outcome is set," Huang Fangjuan immediately cut off the director.
The director smiled weakly, looking a bit uncomfortable, "Is it really over?"
Huang Fangjuan raised her head, "What do you think?"
She neither said yes nor no. The director didn't know how to continue.
"Juanzi, about this matter..." the director still wanted to say something.
Huang Fangjuan stood up, "Because of someone, I still have to make major revisions to the script. If you really care about your drama, let me get back to work. Don't waste my time trying to plead for a little girl."
Her tone was neither cold nor warm. Without waiting for the director's reply, she walked directly to the door. Then she turned to him and said, "If what that girl said just now was also what you were thinking, you'd better fire me. I have no objection."
After she left, the empty office was left with the director. He scratched his head, not knowing where to start with this matter.
"Sister Juan," Gu Sisi called out when she saw Huang Fangjuan come back.
Although she had already become Huang Fangjuan's apprentice, she still used the old address.
Few people knew about her apprenticeship.
Huang Fangjuan's face was normal now. It was time to get back to work. She always ignored emotions outside of work.
She nodded, "Sisi, let's start with that scene..."
As Huang Fangjuan was talking, she saw Gu Sisi standing in front of her with a hesitant look on her face.
She wasn't usually like this.
"What's wrong, Sisi?" she asked puzzledly.
"Actually, Sister Juan, I have something to tell you," Gu Sisi thought for a long time and decided not to hide it anymore.
