Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1184: 1183 Storm

“Are you threatening me?” Tao Zheng was amused by his attempt, “There’s more than one director in the entertainment industry who can shoot campus idol dramas, and even without a director, this show can still go on.”

Yu Zhen said, “Chief Tao, I’ve been promoting you online for so long, now your TV series has gained popularity, yet you’re thinking of replacing me. Aren’t you being a bit too heartless?”

“Ha, are you really not aware of why you’re being asked to leave?” Tao Zheng glanced at Yu Xian and said, “When we were casting, I told you that I must be the one to choose all the roles, but you insisted on adding your niece. I also told you your niece could join, but she would have to meet my requirements. Has your niece done so?”

Yu Zhen pressed his lips together, “We’ve only been shooting for a few days, no one can predict what will happen later. My niece might not necessarily fail to carry out the shooting.”

Tao Zheng said, “Sorry, I’m the investor, and this time I don’t want your niece to take part in our TV series anymore. Please, take her and leave with her.”

If today Yu Zhen had just taken his niece and left amicably, Tao Zheng might consider working with him on other TV series in the future, but judging by Yu Zhen’s attitude, that seems unlikely now.

“Uncle, I don’t want to leave!” Yu Xian yelled, “The male lead in this TV series is my idol He Feng. I must stay here.”

“Slap—” No one expected that the very person who had been so protective of his niece would now slap her.

Yu Xian was also stunned. Her uncle had never laid a hand on her in her life. Today, he had slapped her in front of so many people. In the entertainment industry, face is everything. If today’s incident became known, how could she ever establish herself in the industry?

“Uncle, you actually hit me for these people!” Yu Xian cried, holding her cheek, “I’m going to tell dad and mom.”

Yu Zhen was also furious, he scolded Yu Xian, “Go tell your parents, then. It’s because they spoiled you that you turned out like this. You can’t do anything and cause trouble all day long. Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me? Get lost, go home, and never show up in front of me again.”

Angered, Yu Xian glared fiercely at the people around her, then ran crying back to her nanny van.

After Yu Xian left, Yu Zhen again asked Tao Zheng, “Chief Tao, are you satisfied with the situation now?”

Tao Zheng really didn’t expect him to hit Yu Xian, because Yu Zhen normally had a good reputation, known to be someone who cared for the younger generation and was very fond of his niece, even going as far as to solve problems she caused.

“It’s not a matter of whether I’m satisfied or not. It depends on whether you fit our crew,” Tao Zheng still stood by his point, “When you first came here, you didn’t resolve the situation properly but instead drew a crowd of onlookers. This is not conducive to our filming.”

Yu Zhen frowned, when he came over, he didn’t apologize to the young girl right away and had said some threatening words, probably the girl was still holding a grudge against him. Had he known she was connected to the Zhuang and Tao families, he would have been more courteous to her.

Regardless of what Yu Zhen said, Tao Zheng simply refused to relent, insisting that Yu Zhen leave his crew and stating that they would never work together again.

In the end, Yu Zhen also lost his temper, declaring he would never again work with any artist from Star Way Entertainment. Regarding this, Tao Zheng wasn’t worried at all; there were plenty of talented directors in the entertainment industry, and even without Yu Zhen, they could still make the series. At worst, they could invite Liang Lu over to direct. It was said she had a new movie coming out soon and her fame had grown quite a bit.

With the troublemaker gone, onlookers also started dispersing, discussing the recent events. Some people mentioned they’d already uploaded the video online, predicting it would cause quite a stir.

Sure enough, Yu Zhen and Yu Xian were the subjects of most discussions, but Tao Zheng’s TV series didn’t come out unscathed either; after all, Yu Xian had been one of the cast members, and her actions had an impact on the crew, this time a negative one.

Tao Zheng had no choice but to spend money to mitigate the negative fallout.
