Chapter 211: So You Think I'm A Pushover Just Because I Don't Fight Back (1)
Following that, the talks that took place proceeded exceptionally smoothly. During this time, the Director found himself unable to tear his gaze away from Shen Jingbin. If it weren't for Xiangpeng noticing Zhao Chengning's dissatisfaction and quietly pointing it out to the Director on the side, he probably would have continued staring at her.
From the Director's tone, Shen Jingbin getting the role of female lead was a done deal. On the other hand, Xue Sijia's expression remained overcast throughout their discussions. She'd initially thought that the role was guaranteed to be hers, only to have it stolen by someone else. Anyone would be unhappy if such a thing happened to them.
After asking both sides for their opinions, a contract was drawn up and signed on the spot. They then said their goodbyes and left. Xue Sijia remained silent the entire time till their MPV arrived, while her Manager had a face full of smiles as she bid the others farewell. Shen Jingbin's group gave them a polite smile in return. Throughout the entire exchange, Xue Sijia remained unmoved till her Manager prompted her, causing her to break into a false smile before she entered the car.
Once Xue Sijia got into the car, Xuya angrily said, "Why's she acting so high and mighty? She's just a minor celebrity. Sooner or later I'll take care of her."
Zhao Chengning patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget about it, she's got the backing of Long Dinghai from Dawn Emperor Entertainment. She's not one of those minor celebs that you can afford to provoke."
"Long Dinghai? Is that the same Long Dinghai that I'm thinking of?" Shen Jingbin asked in astonishment.
Zhao Chengning looked towards her and nodded his head.
Xuya looked a little worried. "No wonder she's so haughty; she has Long Dinghai as her backer. Tsk, she really is a prime example of 'using one's connections to exploit others'. Sigh, public morals are degenerating with each pa.s.sing day."
