Chapter 69 - Why the Frowny Face
If it was with only Ling Tianya, Guan Meiyi could have put up a fight, but after the Director decided to side with Ling Tianya, Guan Meiyi was a bit concerned.
At the same time, getting her hair cut off was definitely not going happen. She would rather lose the female lead role than cut her hair.
“Well, it was Ruan Zeyan who invested in this TV show. If I quit, how will he and the Ruan Family think of me? Or if the news got out, how would the public react? Would people say that I am being a diva?” Guan Meiyi found herself between a rock and a hard place. She looked at Ling Tianya, eyes full of animosity.
Ling Tianya noticed the attitude of Guan Meiyi. She didn’t care how Guan Meiyi thought of her; she was really concerned about her own work and the overall quality of the show. In her view, all actors had the duty and responsibility to make certain sacrifices for the work they did. No to mention, it was just a small styling change. She had only asked her to get a shorter haircut!
So many actors would have made themselves look ugly or disgusting for a character. As long as the character was a success, the actors would be ultimately considered successful themselves. Guan Meiyi didn’t seem to understand that. To her, being beautiful was the top priority.
“If this is the case, why is she even an actor? Why not be a model?” Of course, Ling Tianya would not say that to her face, but someone else might.
Ling Tianya looked at Zhang Heng, whose face started to look gloomy. He was already having doubts about Guan Meiyi’s acting abilities, and then she decided to make a fuss about styling? Did she really think she was the prima donna?
Besides, Zhang Heng had worked with many prima donnas. Those who survived all had real talent and skills. Those who relied on family backgrounds would enjoy a temporary stardom before quickly fading away.
The audience were no fools. A pretty skin sack with no substance wouldn’t last!
Speaking of skin sack…
Zhang Heng subconsciously peeked at Ling Tianya who was sitting next to him. “Why didn’t this woman become an actress?” This was the first time that Zhang Heng felt sorry that a woman didn’t choose to be an actress.
The atmosphere was getting awkward. When Ruan Zeyan walked in the room, he happened upon Zhang Heng staring at Ling Tianya with a mixture of pity and desire on his face.
A few steps behind Ruan Zeyan, Du Gang could sense the growing tension in the air. In the direction that he looked, Ling Tianya was sitting close to Zhang Heng, her elbow touching his knee. The way Zhang Heng was looking at Ling Tianya completely betrayed his infatuation with her.
“Is he trying to get under the boss’ skin?!” Cold sweat started to form on Du Gang’s forehead. His knees felt weak.
The last time Miss Ling picked a fight with his boss at the KTV and told him she didn’t want anything to do with him, it was him and his employees who endured the aftermath. Now she was doing it again…
Du Gang was crying inside, “Miss Ling, please have mercy…could you just stay clear of other men?”
Suddenly, Ling Tianya felt a wave of anguish coming toward her. She looked up and saw Du Gang’s face, tears on the brim of falling. Next to Du Gang, Ruan Zeyan stood there like an icy mountain.
Ling Tianya frowned. “Why is Ruan Zeyan here? Did he really have nothing better to do?”
Seeing that frown on Ling Tianya’s face, Du Gang wanted to kill himself right there…”Why! Why couldn’t you just give the boss man a nice smile?! Why the frowny face?”
As expected, Ruan Zeyan’s eyes were getting more and more serious. The whole room fell into a terrifying silence…
