It didn’t take long before the stage supervisor came over. “What’s up?”

Narrowing her eyes and crossing her arms in a defensive stance, Qiao Yiyi pointed at Shi Nianyao, saying, “Didn’t I say to ask this extra to leave the set? Why is she still here?”

With a troubled expression, the stage supervisor said, “Well—”

Mo Xicheng took a step forward to position Shi Nianyao behind him. “The director just said that we can keep her.”

Qiao Yiyi laughed derisively. “But I’m saying now that she should leave. If you’re not going to ask her to leave, then should we get the investor to come in and make a decision?”

The stage supervisor immediately threw Shi Nianyao a glance.

He came forward and said, “Ms. Shi, perhaps, could you leave for now?”

In her head, Shi Nianyao rolled her eyes. Wasn’t she just about to leave the venue? They were the ones who had stopped her.

Was the other investor such a big shot that it required this investor to welcome him?

She nodded in response to the stage supervisor’s request.

Seeing that she was agreeable, the stage supervisor heaved a sigh of relief. At least, it had gotten them all out of a stalemate situation.

Addressing Mo Xicheng, he said, “Teacher Mo, erm… it’s just for now. We’ll decide our next steps when we start filming again.”

Indeed, there was no point in forcing each other into a deadlock.

Especially in this instance, when Qiao Yiyi’s position had risen so significantly as the situation developed.

Hence, Mo Xicheng nodded in agreement too.

As they turned to walk away, Qiao Yiyi said contemptuously, “He’s just an insignificant supporting actor who has neither achieved fame nor popularity after all these years. He’ll remain a nobody forever. Who does he think he is?”

Mo Xicheng paid no attention to her at all and continued walking.

However, Shi Nianyao suddenly halted.

She turned around sharply and demanded, “Who were you just talking about?”

Qiao Yiyi retorted, “I’ll talk about whoever I want, why do you care?”

Qiao Yiyi turned to Mo Xicheng and continued, “Or am I wrong? Has Teacher Mo become a top celebrity? How is it that I wasn’t told?”

Her mockery cause the people around to parrot her, laughing.

Shi Nianyao smiled icily. “It’s fine if you want to make snide remarks about me, but what right have you got to talk about him like this?”

She pointed at Mo Xicheng and continued, “Don’t you know how skilled he is as an actor? When he started out as an actor, I wonder which recess you were hiding in.”

At this point, Shi Nianyao also adopted a mocking and derisive tone, “Oh, now I remember. You were a parasite and had to find a shelter under other peoples’ roof. I guess you didn’t have the time to watch TV much, so you wouldn’t know?”

Ooooh, that hurt.

Qiao Yiyi’s pupils shrank at once and she strode forward. Raising a hand, she was ready to slap Shi Nianyao. “Tr*mp! How dare you say such things about me?!”

Shi Nianyao was not the least intimidated and even took a step forward, as though challenging Qiao Yiyi.

Just as her hand was about to descend, she suddenly felt a strong and big hand stopping her.

Turning around in surprise, she saw Mo Xicheng’s firm grip on her wrist. “Ms. Qiao, that’s quite enough,” he said.

Then he looked back at Shi Nianyao. She was about to tell her that they should go and not stoop to her level, when there was a flash before his eyes and the next thing he knew…

Crack! A sharp sound reverberated through the set.

Shi Nianyao had raised her arm and, with all the strength she could muster, swung it to deliver a solid slap that turned her own palm red.

S*ck that!

This woman had first hit her Chief Editor Lian Lian and now mocked her male idol—she was completely asking for it!

However, this magnificent slap also shocked everyone who witnessed it.

Even Mo Xicheng couldn’t have imagined that Shi Nianyao would react this quickly.
