Chapter 280 Maintaining a Pure and Honest Life, Putting Her at Ease
She really is an actor; she clearly arranged this whole thing herself, but she pretends to be innocent.
The staff member also stood up. He looked at Wenna, suppressed his suspicion, and tried to calm her down.
"Ms. Wen, please don't get agitated."
"How could I not be excited? Are you guys playing me?"
“I’ve already called my family and friends at school to tell them. They all know about this. Now you want me to quit on my own? How am I supposed to face anyone?”
Wenna's eyes quickly welled up with glistening tears, a sight that evoked pity in me.
She portrayed a victim very convincingly; if she didn't completely intimidate the staff on the other end, at least they were moved.
“We will give you a certain amount of compensation, and Ms. Wen will claim to the public that she cannot continue to cooperate with us due to health reasons.”
"Why should I bear the consequences when it's clearly your fault?" Wenna bit her lower lip, her voice already trembling with tears.
The staff member lost patience, regardless of whether the woman opposite him was acting or genuinely expressing her feelings.
This is just too unreasonable. It's clearly not yours to hold onto it. Who are you trying to fool with your shamelessness?
"Ms. Wen, please have some self-respect. Our company is willing to take responsibility for our negligence and offer Ms. Wen a certain amount of compensation. Please do not make unreasonable demands!"
"I'm being unreasonable?" Wenna's face suddenly turned pale, and she became unsteady on her feet.
"Wasn't it you who made unreasonable demands on me first?"
The staff were at their wits' end and could only resort to cold, blunt, and awkward words to deal with Wenna.
"If you refuse to cooperate and a private settlement fails, we will have no choice but to make it public. Even then, you still won't get the role. Why make things so embarrassing, Ms. Wen?"
Wenna clenched her teeth and remained silent for a long time, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly aggrieved.
Not far away, a staff member secretly took a picture of this scene with his mobile phone and quietly posted it online.
[Unscrupulous production crew bullies newcomers; their own company makes mistakes but makes the artists bear the consequences!]
With such a big incident involving Tang Xiaoge's film crew, the public relations department is extremely busy.
Tang Xiaoge himself was furious. He was determined to thoroughly investigate how many of his company's employees were fickle and easily bribed opportunists, and to drive out all those who betrayed him!
"This woman is quite shrewd. She guessed that you would talk to her to persuade her to back out voluntarily, so she prepared this plan."
"It's pretty good. It really does resemble you when you were young. What do you think?"
Ning Duoduo held a cup of coffee and muttered something thoughtfully to Tang Xiaoge, her words carrying a hint of teasing.
"I'm already overwhelmed, so don't add to my troubles at a time like this." Tang Xiaoge wasn't in the mood for jokes with Ning Duoduo.
"Okay, then I'll come find you again when I have time to cause trouble. I have to go back and get busy." Ning Duoduo really got up and left, walking away gracefully and decisively without the slightest hesitation.
"You'd better help me think of a solution. I'm in a hurry to start filming. The actors have all been booked, and then this happened." Tang Xiaoge quickly suppressed her anger, and her tone became much gentler.
He felt that Ning Duoduo had a way of doing things; he had witnessed Ning Duoduo's cunning back when they first met.
"We can't back down. We have to keep fighting her. After all, the leaked video has already ruined your company's image. If we go easy on her now, it will only make people uncomfortable. She's playing the emotional card, so you should play the rational card." Ning Duoduo tapped her fingertips lightly on the table a few times before speaking confidently.
"I'll lend you my PR team for a few days. Your company's... they're really no good." Ning Duoduo swallowed the word "incompetent" back. She didn't want to be sarcastic about things that didn't concern her and make enemies for no reason.
"I almost forgot to ask you, who was your original choice? It wasn't me, was it?"
Ning Duoduo knew that she wasn't the chosen female lead; she was just teasing and testing Tang Xiaoge.
If Tang Xiaoge had truly chosen her, he would have dragged her into this mess long ago. It would be only natural for her to handle this matter; there would be no need for Tang Yingdi to lower himself.
"Luo Xiyao." Tang Xiaoge raised an eyebrow and uttered three words.
Ning Duoduo chuckled upon hearing this.
Tang Xiaoge didn't see surprise in her cunning eyes, but rather a look of complete understanding.
"You already knew?"
"No, I just found out." Ning Duoduo picked up her coffee cup again and said in a very good mood.
"I'll lend you my PR team, no money required, and I won't ask for your favor. I'll help you with this to the end."
"Oh, is this a sign of the Bodhisattva's great mercy?" Tang Xiaoge was taken aback. Ning Duoduo was a bandit-like person who would never wrong herself if she could get something out of it. It was simply unrealistic to expect her to do something for free.
But the fact that she's willing to do it for free shows that she has a connection with this girl named Luo Xiyao, and it's a good connection...
Tang Xiaoge understood the situation and didn't say anything more. Having an assistant like Ning Duoduo was a good thing.
After the news broke that Wenna was being suppressed by the production team, many people expressed their support for her.
When faced with a choice between a large film crew and a lone female student, people's conditioned reflex is to sympathize with the weaker party.
This incident has dealt a significant blow to Tang Xiaoge. If things continue to develop as they are, the drama may be canceled, and even if it is filmed, people will boycott it.
Seeing the online incident escalating, Wenna was in a really good mood, humming a little tune while applying a face mask and doing her skincare routine in her dorm room.
After she finished applying the face mask, she put on a weak and sickly makeup in front of the mirror. Once she was sure she looked pitiful, Wenna picked up her phone and made a video call to Wen Tingye.
The video call didn't go through until forty minutes later when Wen Tingye finally called Wen Na back.
"What's wrong?" Wen Tingye didn't make a video call, but just dialed a regular number, his voice cold and hard.
Wenna didn't think anything of it. She also perfectly captured the weakness in her tone, making no difference. It was just a pity about her makeup.
"Brother Tingye, are you alright?" Wenna's voice sounded tired and unhappy.
"Have you been crying? Is someone bullying you at school?" Wen Tingye noticed that something was wrong with Wen Na and his tone softened slightly.
"Brother Tingye, the entertainment industry is too complicated. Why do people with no power or influence always get bullied?"
"I'm very busy here. If you ever feel wronged, just go to He Yu, and he'll help you resolve it." Wen Tingye didn't have the patience to comfort Wen Na, and hung up after saying this in a hurry.
He knew that young girls are sensitive and would want to cry to someone close to them when they were wronged.
But men and women are different. In the end, Wenna is not his biological sister and they are not related by blood.
Especially after Ning Yao brought up Wen Na, Wen Tingye had no choice but to take it seriously.
He needed to subtly distance himself from Wenna to avoid upsetting Ning Yao again.
Wen Tingye looked at his personal phone and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was planning to change his number after returning to China, to a number that only Ning Yao would know.
Wen Na was speechless at Wen Tingye's cold attitude, and an inexplicable anger rose in her heart. She could only vent her anger by smashing her luxury skincare products.
Anyway, there are always new ones if they get smashed. Wen Tingye promised his brother that he would take good care of her. He is a man of integrity and would never break his promise!
But what good is giving her money? She needs more than just financial support; she wants Wen Tingye!
Why doesn't he understand? In order to stay by his side, she has to pretend to be a little sister, which is exhausting for her!
It's all that woman's fault!
Ever since Ning Yao appeared, Tingye hasn't been as affectionate with her...
It must have been that bitch who stirred up trouble between Tingye and his girlfriend, and stole Tingye from her!
