"Who told you that I can't recover?" Long Jie asked.
"'Red Flame' has already replaced its lead actor. Does that mean I'll never be able to act again?" Luo Sheng mumbled to himself.
"Luo Sheng …"
"Let go of me!" Luo Sheng suddenly pushed Long Jie away emotionally. "You're not me. You don't know how scared I am for the future. It wasn't easy for me to get to where I am today, yet it's going to be destroyed in an instant. I don't know what I did wrong."
Long Jie looked at Luo Sheng heartbroken, but she couldn't find the words to comfort him.
She originally wanted Luo Sheng to have some peace and quiet, but he took the opportunity to run out while she was in the bathroom.
Long Jie immediately gave Tangning a phone call, "Luo Sheng's gone missing. There are reporters everywhere outside. What if he gets hurt again?"
"Go to the set of 'Red Flame' and look for him," Tangning replied.
"Why would he go there?"
"What do you think?" Tangning asked. Luo Sheng was a good person, but he was too young and impatient. Of course, the injury this time was a huge blow to him. But, Tangning understood. She had no choice. Tangning was already prepared to go home to see her babies, but because of Luo Sheng, she ended up heading to the set of 'Red Flame'.
As expected, Luo Sheng was there. He was still dressed in a patient's gown and his head was wrapped in a white gauze. He was there to explain the situation to the director.
But, the director refused to see him.
"Luo Sheng, the male lead has already been replaced. There's no point in looking for the director," one of the crew members tried to persuade. "Go home. He's still injured."
"I just want to see the director …"
"Really, there's nothing we can do," one of the crew members said helplessly.
Luo Sheng looked at the crew members with a pale face. Just as he was about to barge in, the new male lead of 'Red Flame' walked out accompanied by his assistant. As soon as he saw Luo Sheng, he revealed a contemptuous smile, "Hey, isn't this the male lead of our romance novel? Why are you here when you're injured? How heartbreaking. "
Luo Sheng looked at the man with a pained expression.
"Luo Sheng, I am now the male lead of 'Red Flame'. Even if you come back now, it won't change the fact that I've already replaced you. Especially since your head is still wrapped up like a retarded child."
"No matter how capable Tangning is, there is a limit to what she can do. Did you really think she treats you like a treasure? Just you wait, in a few days, everyone will abandon you … "
"I heard that when you got into an accident, your car was driven away. How pitiful. In all the time you've been in the industry, that car is probably the only thing that's valuable."
Luo Sheng did not understand the hidden meaning behind these words. But, he could sense the deep sense of humiliation.
However, Tangning, who was following closely behind, overheard the man's last words.
The police hadn't released the details of Luo Sheng's incident, so how did he know that Luo Sheng's car had been driven away?
"You're going to be a piece of trash soon …"
Luo Sheng clenched his fists tightly. Just as he was about to make a move, Tangning stepped forward and pulled him behind her, "No matter how useless Luo Sheng is, he still relies on himself. Of course, he won't rely on his father like everyone else."
"I'm not sure if Luo Sheng is a piece of trash yet. But, I'm certain that without your father, you would be a complete piece of trash."
Seeing Tangning appear, the man wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the words. All he could do was open his mouth and endure.
"What did you think you could steal from Luo Sheng's hands?" Tangning asked. "Let me tell you, you can't steal anything. No one can steal anything from my artist. Even if they do, I'd rather destroy them than let them have their way."
The man looked at Tangning in surprise, but he didn't think that she was joking.
Afterwards, Tangning dragged Luo Sheng into her car. After closing the door, she handed him a tissue, "Wipe your face."
"Ning Jie …"
"We're not in a hopeless situation yet. What's there to be depressed about?" Tangning asked. "I can't believe you came to look for the director. Since he can abandon you in one day, do you still think you have any hope?"
"But, this is a resource that I worked so hard to negotiate for."
"A resource that can be stolen is not yours," Tangning replied honestly. "There are better things waiting for you. Don't be discouraged. I will definitely do what I promised you."
"I'm sorry, Ning Jie …"
Although Luo Sheng did not meet the director, his appearance on set of 'Red Flame' still caused quite a commotion.
Everyone knew that actors were replaced in TV dramas. So, Luo Sheng was simply asking to be humiliated.
"How could Tangning's artist be so cowardly? He has no backbone! "
"He's been replaced, yet he still went to look for the director. Isn't this the same as asking for a slap in the face?"
"Haiz, I'm a little disappointed. Luo Sheng, what's wrong with you?"
Not only did Luo Sheng degrade himself by joining 'Red Flame', he also raised the status of 'Red Flame'. Look, Tangning's artist is begging to get his role back.
But, Tangning refused to let the crew of 'Red Flame' be happy.
"I'm sorry, the reason why Luo Sheng joined the set was because the director previously promised to buy him some time to recover. But, the director immediately went back on his word and replaced him with the male lead. Do you think Superstar Media is so easy to bully? That's why Luo Sheng wants to know if it's OK to be dishonest. "
"You can choose not to agree, but since you agreed, you should keep your promise."
"It's true that Luo Sheng is injured, but he will eventually recover. It's fine if someone doesn't recognize Mount Tai because Luo Sheng has better resources waiting for him. Everyone, please wait patiently for the official announcement. "
Everyone knew that Long Jie's words represented Tangning's intentions.
In other words, Luo Sheng joined the set not to beg the director to replace him, but to get even with him.
Meanwhile, the crew of 'Red Flame' were shameless. The director originally promised to keep Luo Sheng's role for himself, but he sold him out.
Most importantly, the actor that stole resources from Luo Sheng was proud of himself.
It seemed, he had never seen better resources in his life. Did he think that he could step all over Luo Sheng? Wasn't his sense of superiority a little too much?
Tangning left the public in suspense so that they could be prepared. Otherwise, if someone were to set their eyes on Luo Sheng's resources, what would they do?
All they had to do was wait for 'Derivative' to be announced. Then, they would be able to slap someone in the face until they were swollen!
…
It was already late at night. Lin Qian waited outside Xing Lan's home for Li Jin's black car to arrive. As she waited, Xing Lan's words floated through her mind.
She felt a little embarrassed. No wonder Li Jin didn't seem so unfamiliar when she first met him.
"Get in," Li Jin said as he opened the car door.
