Chapter 196 - What Do You Think I Mean?

Zhi Ruo was already at the entrance of the company and about to leave when Fu Meixu called out to her.

"Zhi Ruo..." Fu Meixu called out with a smiling gaze.

Zhi Ruo stopped in her steps with her assistant and turned around to glance at Fu Meixu. She was annoyed with whatever happened inside with her so she had no time to play games with anyone.

"What is it?" Zhi Ruo asked with an annoyed gaze.

Fu Meixu was especially happy that Zhi Ruo was already annoyed. Then she thought she should make her annoyed mood grander.

"I came to greet you but why are you glaring at me like that?" Fu Meixu asked as she came to stand in front of her with a smiling gaze.

"Are you sure you came to greet me?" Zhi Ruo asked with raised brows. She didn't believe that Fu Meixu would come to greet her just like that, there must be a reason for it, she thought.

"Sister Ruo, don't listen to her. She is especially bad to you. She no longer addresses you as her senior and just calls your name out directly." Zhi Ruo's little assistant pointed out with an unfriendly gaze.

Fu Meixu chuckled softly with a hand over her mouth. "You're just a little assistant, what do you know?"

Fu Meixu glanced at the angry Zhi Ruo and said, "Sister Zhi Ruo, I heard that you lost the female lead role that was given to you!"

"How did you hear about it?" Zhi Ruo asked in surprise. No one else knows about this apart from the people at her side and the higher-ups, so how did Fu Meixu come to hear of the news?

"I have my sources." Fu Meixu said with a proud smile as she pats her hair. She was very happy with her progress to annoy her enemy.

Zhi Ruo was quiet, and her assistant couldn't take her being bullied by someone below her and so spoke up for her.

"Although, Sister Zhi Ruo's role was snatched by someone else, she was still compensated for it. She just signed a contract with the director for the major secondary female lead role."

Fu Meixu couldn't help laughing out loud. "You said the female lead role was snatched from her but you are wrong. She hadn't signed the contract for the female lead role, otherwise, how could that role be given to someone else so easily?"

"What do you mean?" Zhi Ruo asked with a frown. She had a bad premonition about whatever Fu Meixu was going to say next.

"What do you think I mean?" Fu Meixu asked with a broad smile.

Zhi Ruo thought of something but she waved that thought aside. She didn't think that was possible.

"I will help you. Before you arrived, I had already signed the contract for the female lead role for 'The filmmaker' it looks like you will have to pay a lot of respect to me while filming." Fu Meixu revealed with a proud smile as she watched their shocked gazes.

Zhi Ruo was so shocked that she blurted out, "That's impossible!"

Fu Meixu enjoyed the afraid look on her face. She laughed and said to her, "Well that's possible. According to your assistant, I am the actress that snatched your role from you. Good luck with being disheartened for several days!"

Zhi Ruo and her assistant stared at Fu Meixu as she left in her car. They were still in shock with the revelation.

"Sister Ruo, don't listen to her, I think she is trying to pull your legs." Her assistant said to her.

"I know Fu Meixu, she wouldn't joke with things like this! But how can the director change roles at the last minute, and we were supposed to sign the contract for the female lead today!" Zhi Ruo cried out in anger.

"Sister Ruo, Is this the reason you were offered the minor role without a need to audition?" Her assistant asked with a frown.

Zhi Ruo who was currently boiling in rage glanced at her assistant with a deathly glare. She has just discovered that she has been cheated.

She was asked to sign the contract directly without auditioning for the role as compensation, not knowing that the female lead has already been given to Fu Meixu. Had it been she had an idea about it, she would never have accepted to star in that movie.

How could she act as a second female lead in the same movie her junior and enemy, Fu Meixu would be playing the female lead? That was an error she couldn't accept.

Zhi Ruo went back inside the building with her assistant to question the big boss of their entertainment company, but the result was futile.

He asked her to go and prepare for the filming and to read her script well.

Zhi Ruo couldn't believe the treatment she was receiving. She was an A-list actress and she has won so many awards for herself and the company.

Her fame brought glory to her agency, but why was she receiving his kind of treatment now?

She was so pissed off that she blurted out... "Did Fu Meixu bribe you?"

The Boss stared at her with an angry gaze. Zhi Ruo's manager was the one that apologized to the big boss on her behalf before dragging her out from that office.

"You were already leaving, why did you come back?" Her manager asked with a frown.

"Why won't I come back after I found out my role was given to that bitch?!" Zhi Ruo said angrily.

"Shhh... lower your voice. You don't want your juniors to hear you curse around." Her manager reminded her.

"Should that be my problem? Did you know about my role being given to Fu Meixu?" Zhi Ruo asked with her gaze on her manager.

"I don't know about it. I'm just hearing it from you, and I'm really shocked to hear that. But Zhi Ruo, you have to go back into that office and apologize to the boss, you were very rude to him." Her manager said with a frown.

"There is no way I'm going back there!" Zhi Ruo said and walked away angrily with her little assistant following behind her.

Her manager sighed before going back to the big boss's office to apologize to him for the second time.
