Chapter 1293: Even this little thing can't be done well
Chapter 1293: Even this little thing can't be done well
"Waste! You can't even do such a small thing!" Qin Yuanqing roared, scaring N so much that he trembled all over.
In order to save the situation, Qin Yuanqing spared no expense in hiring internet trolls to praise N's acting skills crazily on the Internet, trying to reverse public opinion. For a time, all kinds of press releases praising N flooded the Internet, but netizens did not buy it.
"This acting skill can be applauded? Is he blind?"
"It's too obvious that they are a navy. Is Young Master Qin deceiving himself?"
"I feel sorry for Mr. Cheng. He actually has to act with this kind of person."
Not only did N's acting skills not receive recognition, but he became the object of ridicule by netizens. Various spoof videos and emoticons emerged one after another, and N completely became a laughing stock.
Cheng Yunchuan watched all this with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He originally had no ill will towards N and just regarded her as an insignificant little character.
But now, N not only snatched Jiang Mubai's role away, but also insulted the show with his poor acting skills, which he could not tolerate.
He found the director and said in a cold tone: "I want to terminate the contract."
The director was stunned. He didn't expect Cheng Yunchuan to terminate the contract at this time. The filming of the drama has already started. If Cheng Yunchuan terminates the contract, it will cause huge losses.
"Mr. Cheng, we can change the female lead." The director tried to persuade.
"I don't want to work with this kind of person anymore." Cheng Yunchuan interrupted him with a firm tone.
The director wanted to say something else but was stopped by a look from Cheng Yunchuan. He knew Cheng Yunchuan's character very well and knew that once he made a decision, he would not change it easily.
The news of Cheng Yunchuan's contract termination spread quickly, causing an uproar. Investors withdrew their capital one after another, the crew was paralyzed, and the drama eventually ended in abortion.
N's acting career was completely ruined as a result. She went from being a highly-anticipated newcomer to a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.
Qin Yuanqing was furious when he learned about this. He didn't expect Cheng Yunchuan to be so determined that he would ruin a drama for the sake of Jiang Mubai.
"Cheng Yunchuan, just wait for me! I didn't expect you would do this for Jiang Mubai." Qin Yuanqing gently shook the red wine glass.
At this time, Jiang Mubai was lying on the bed in the hotel, leisurely browsing Weibo. Seeing N's acting skills being mocked by everyone, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jiang Mubai gloated and said, "Your acting skills are not up to par, but you dare to snatch the role from me!"
Cheng Yunchuan pushed the door open and saw Jiang Mubai smiling so happily, and he felt relieved too.
"Are you feeling better?" Cheng Yunchuan walked to the bedside and asked gently.
Jiang Mubai nodded and handed the phone to Cheng Yunchuan: "Look, N's acting skills have been badly criticized by netizens."
Cheng Yunchuan took the phone, glanced at it casually, and sneered: "You will suffer for your own mistakes."
"You terminated the contract?" Jiang Mubai asked.
Cheng Yunchuan nodded: "I don't want to see her again."
Jiang Mubai felt warm in her heart, she knew that Cheng Yunchuan terminated the contract for her.
"Thank you." Jiang Mubai said softly.
Cheng Yunchuan leaned over and kissed her forehead: "Silly girl, why are you thanking me?"
The two of them slept in each other's arms, and the room was filled with a warm and sweet atmosphere. However, they didn't know that a bigger storm was brewing. The next day, Jiang Mubai received a call from an unfamiliar number.
"Ms. Jiang, long time no see. Do you want to know about your sister?"
The other party's cold tone made Jiang Mubai's body tremble for a few seconds. This devil-like voice made the original owner instinctively afraid.
Jiang Mubai held the phone, her fingertips slightly white. The words kept echoing in her mind: "Miss Jiang, long time no see, do you want to know about your sister?"
Sister? The original owner's memory was like a tangled mess. She tried hard to recall it, but she could only capture some vague fragments, a vague figure, a few cries with a crying tone, and a strong, suffocating sadness, but she could not grasp the specific information about her sister.
“Damn it, why is the memory of this broken body so unreliable!” Jiang Mubai scratched his hair irritably, almost messing up the hairstyle he had just created.
At this time, Cheng Yunchuan called in, and his low voice was apologetic: "Xiaobai, I have an emergency meeting here, and I may be back later. Have dinner first, don't wait for me."
Jiang Mubai suppressed his uneasiness and tried to answer in a relaxed tone: "I understand, Mr. Cheng, go and do your thing. I'm not a child, how can I starve myself?"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai's heart couldn't calm down. The mysterious phone call made her feel like something bad was going to happen.
The strange number rang again. Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and answered the call.
"What have you considered, Miss Jiang?" The voice on the other end of the phone was still cold, with a hint of teasing.
"Who are you? What happened to my sister?" Jiang Mubai tried hard to control his emotions so as not to let the other party notice his fear.
"If you want to know, I'll wait for you in Room 2012 of Lijing Hotel at o'clock tomorrow night." After the other party said that, he hung up the phone.
Lijing Hotel? Isn't that the hotel that Qin Yuanqing has booked all year round? Jiang Mubai's heart was alarmed. Could it be that Qin Yuanqing was behind this?
She paced back and forth in the room in annoyance, struggling internally over whether or not to go to the appointment. If she didn't go, she would be unwilling to do so, as she wanted to know what had happened to her sister. But if she went, she was worried that this was a trap. What if the other party did something bad to her?
Cheng Yunchuan is not around, so she can only rely on herself.
"What am I afraid of? I've seen all kinds of storms in my life, why would I be afraid of this little trap?" Jiang Mubai gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
The next night, Jiang Mubai changed into a black tights and tied his hair up high. He looked heroic, yet with a hint of danger that was barely noticeable.
She deliberately brought with her a miniature eavesdropping device and self-defense weapons bought from abroad, just in case.
In room 2012 of Lijing Hotel, Jiang Mubai knocked gently on the door.
"Come in." A deep male voice came from the room.
Jiang Mubai pushed the door open and walked in. The room was dimly lit with only a faint light coming from a floor lamp in the corner. A man was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her. He had a slender figure and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Are you the one who called me?" Jiang Mubai asked vigilantly.
The man slowly turned around, revealing a handsome yet somewhat sinister face.
"Miss Jiang, long time no see." The man sneered. It was Ming Lin.
Jiang Mubai's heart sank, it was indeed him!
"Minglin, what do you want to do?" Jiang Mubai asked coldly.
"What do I want to do? Of course I want to get you, Jiang Mubai. When you hooked up with me, you said you were willing to do anything for me." Ming Lin paused, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
