Chapter 218: Reap What She Sowed

Gu Sisi voiced her speculation.

However, she didn't mention the relationship between the two girls.

"So that little girl planned to target you?" Huang Fangjuan hesitated.

She knew there might be other reasons behind this, but she never thought it could be related to her own apprentice.

"I also have a guess," Gu Sisi said cautiously, not daring to be too explicit.

Huang Fangjuan nodded, roughly understanding the ins and outs of the matter.

"It seems that little girl wants to bully you and drive you away," Sister Juan murmured. Then she patted Gu Sisi on the shoulder. "Then we definitely can't let her off easily."

"Sister Juan?" Gu Sisi called out in confusion.

She originally thought that once she revealed this, the matter might just pass. In the future, she would just be more careful.

The reason she chose to speak up was that she didn't want her master to think that someone looked down on her script. Instead, she wanted her master to know it was a deliberate act.

Gu Sisi admired her master very much. After some hesitation, she finally told the truth.

"Do you think I'll let her go after she tried to bully my apprentice?" Huang Fangjuan smiled.

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, which was quite different from her usual serious demeanor.

"Ah?" Gu Sisi was stunned.

Was there any way to let her off?

"Come here. Listen..." Huang Fangjuan whispered in Gu Sisi's ear.

The scripts for the next day were all scrapped, and new ones were delivered early in the morning.

To meet the schedule, the actors had to memorize and perform on the same day.

Fortunately, the changes were only minor.

The workload wasn't too heavy.

The director sat beside the camera, looking rather unhappy. He was holding the latest script in his hand.

Unlike others, his script was the original one with revisions made directly on it. So he could clearly see the changes.

The changes weren't significant. However, there were many deletions, and most of them were related to the same person.

Just then, Wen Meiling rushed over in a hurry, holding the new script with a worried look on her face.

"Director, I'm the second female lead. Why do I have so few scenes?" She originally had five or six scenes today, but now there was only one, and it was just a few minutes on camera.

Even as a newbie, she was a bit slow, but she still sensed something was wrong.

"Then how many do you think are appropriate?" The director put away the script and smiled.

"Director..." Wen Meiling was immediately at a loss for words.

How would she know how many were appropriate? She wasn't the one who wrote the script.

Finally, she seemed to understand something. She forced a smile and asked timidly, "About what happened yesterday, hasn't that sister forgiven me yet?"

Although she called her affectionately, their real relationship was far from good.

The director let out an internal sigh. This was expected.

Looking at Wen Meiling, he felt troubled. How could he explain this to her backers?

Yes, Wen Meiling was an inserted role due to the power of capital. Bowing to money was a common phenomenon. If they didn't, this drama couldn't be filmed.

The director was worried that Wen Meiling would complain and the investors would withdraw their funds.

"Don't think too much. It's not like that," the director could only comfort her for the time being.

"Director..." Wen Meiling called out discontentedly.

The director shook his head, stood up, and said thoughtfully, "I'll go talk to her."

With that, he left.

Wen Meiling felt a temporary sense of relief.

Gu Sisi and Sister Juan were on the side. Following the principle of asking when in doubt, Gu Sisi constantly asked Sister Juan for advice.

She was listening attentively as Sister Juan explained the parts she didn't understand.

A voice came from afar.

"Juanzi, come here for a moment."

It was the director's voice. Seeing Sister Juan raise an eyebrow, Gu Sisi knew why the director was coming to find Sister Juan.

Sister Juan pretended not to hear and continued talking.

The director walked over and stood in front of her.

"Juanzi, I need to talk to you."

With the person right in front of her, it was hard to ignore him.

Sister Juan acted as if she had been interrupted. She put down the materials she was explaining and said, "I only have a few minutes to spare. I'm very busy now."

"That's enough," the director insisted.

"Okay then," Sister Juan shrugged and followed him.

Gu Sisi watched them leave and enter the office next to them. Then she withdrew her gaze.

Unexpectedly, a voice came from beside her.

"Gu Sisi, did you deliberately find someone to take revenge on me!" Wen Meiling gritted her teeth and said.

"Um..." Originally, Gu Sisi could have confidently said no.

However, after Gu Sisi explained everything clearly yesterday, the subsequent actions were like Sister Juan standing up for her. It was really hard to say.

But they definitely weren't the ones who started it.

"Why would I take revenge on you?" Gu Sisi looked confused and asked rhetorically.

"You're not angry that I ruined your wedding? But it was you who snatched my man first," she said in a fit of anger, with an ugly expression on her face.

Gu Sisi had actually forgotten about this.

Now she was just curious. Why did Wen Meiling insist that she had snatched Huo Cheng? Could it be that they would really be together without her?

Gu Sisi was very curious.

"I think you might have misunderstood."

"Do you think you can deceive others but not me? I won't let you off!" She left with a harsh word.

The brief conversation in the office also ended. Gu Sisi watched the two come out.

Their expressions were...

Completely normal, which made it seem extremely strange.

After three or four days, Wen Meiling saw that her scenes were getting fewer and fewer. She even suspected that she wouldn't make it to the end of the drama.

She was right about this. The revised script indeed didn't have her in the end.

She went to the director, but the director said he was powerless in this matter.

So she had no choice but to go sheepishly to apologize to the person she had offended.

The investigation showed that this person was rather difficult to deal with.

Seeing so many packages and gifts being brought into their office, Sister Juan's face darkened.

She said sternly, "Throw them out!"

Gu Sisi really didn't know if Wen Meiling was naive or just stupid.

Why didn't she find out the situation before giving gifts? Sister Juan attached great importance to the office environment. Usually, she didn't have many requirements, but she had high standards for the office space.

As long as the script was of high quality and the audience liked it, with all her little conditions and high requirements, the director would still agree.

This was well - known in the circle.

But Wen Meiling had filled her office with things, which was unacceptable to someone with high requirements for her own special space.

Gu Sisi even suspected that she was deliberately provoking Sister Juan. But would that do her any good?

She was very puzzled.

This time, Gu Sisi was wrong. Wen Meiling really wanted to curry favor with Sister Juan, but she just had bad luck.

Wen Meiling didn't know the situation well and just thought that Sister Juan didn't give her any face at all.
