Chapter 2506: Chapter 2295: A Tree That Stands Out in the Forest
"I told you before not to play the lead role. You didn’t believe me, thinking I was lying to you. Now look at the situation! Tall trees attract wind. You’re so young and already playing the lead role; surely someone would be jealous. Take Zhang Lijiao for instance. She begged Director Zhou for a long time, yet he only cast her as a villain. Someone like her, knowing you are playing the lead, would definitely be angry. And when angry, they might do something underhanded. You’re young; success and failure come in time, so why hurry? If someone plots behind your back, it could ruin your entire acting career, and you’ll lose a bright future. You should really think about it."
After hearing Feng Yuzhi’s words, Shen Jiayan took a deep breath, finally turned her head, and spoke slowly, staring into Feng Yuzhi’s eyes: "I won’t give up."
Initially, Feng Yuzhi spoke kindly and sincerely to Shen Jiayan, like a caring elder sister. But after hearing Shen Jiayan’s response, her face suddenly turned cold, and her gaze became more malicious.
"Then if something happens in the future, don’t blame me for not warning you early," Feng Yuzhi threatened Shen Jiayan.
"Alright, alright, go out now, don’t make trouble here!" The physician, accustomed to such matters, patiently tried to drive Feng Yuzhi away.
"What are you doing? This is my good sister! Can’t I come and see my little sister?" Feng Yuzhi was dissatisfied with the physician’s attitude.
"Is this how you talk to your sister, all cryptic and sarcastic?" The physician had quite a bad temper too.
"Are you here for treatment? If not, leave immediately!" The physician said again to Feng Yuzhi.
"Can’t I visit my sister?" Feng Yuzhi asked the physician.
"You know very well why you’re here!" The physician showed no tolerance for Feng Yuzhi’s antics.
"How dare you talk to me like that?" Feng Yuzhi stood up.
"Ha! What? You want to fight with me?" The physician, a 40-year-old middle-aged woman approaching menopause, was at her most formidable, indicating no fear even if faced with a celebrity.
"Hmph, just a physician, what’s there to be proud of! Sister, I’m leaving." Feng Yuzhi mocked Shen Jiayan before walking away.
Seeing Feng Yuzhi leave, Shen Jiayan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
"Must be her doing! I’ve worked here for 20 years; I’ve seen this kind of thing too many times. People like that aren’t even afraid of getting hit by a car," the physician said contemptuously, watching Feng Yuzhi leave, speaking to Shen Jiayan.
Shen Jiayan didn’t respond, just picked up the phone to call Xiao Yingying.
"President Xiao!" Shen Jiayan was full of grievances.
"Jia Yan, what’s the matter?" Xiao Yingying asked Shen Jiayan.
"President Xiao, I’m injured." Shen Jiayan said.
"What? How? What happened? Where are you injured? Is it serious?" Xiao Yingying asked Shen Jiayan.
"My foot’s been scraped raw." Shen Jiayan replied.
"How did that happen? Were you walking during filming?" Xiao Yingying asked again.
"No, someone put crushed glass powder in my shoe." Shen Jiayan said pitifully, on the verge of tears.
"What? Who has the gall to do something so vile?" Xiao Yingying raged, unable to contain her anger.
Shen Jiayan didn’t mention Feng Yuzhi’s name.
"How will you film with an injury?" Xiao Yingying thought of this issue.
"I don’t know; Director Zhou is discussing it with others now." Shen Jiayan replied.
"Did you offend someone? Even if you did, they wouldn’t stoop so low!" Xiao Yingying grew even angrier.
"Tell me the name!" Xiao Yingying demanded from Shen Jiayan.
"Feng Yuzhi."
"Feng Yuzhi? Even such a big star wants to join in on this?" Xiao Yingying was somewhat surprised.
"No wonder; there are so few in this circle capable of such nasty deeds." Xiao Yingying added.
Although Shen Jiayan didn’t know Feng Yuzhi well, Xiao Yingying, being the head of an entertainment company, was quite familiar with these matters in the entertainment industry, like Feng Yuzhi’s character.
Someone with such poor character could still thrive in the entertainment world, reflecting the current nature of the environment.
"Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way for you. Be careful; this Feng is capable of anything. You’re young and cautious. Keep an eye out in the future." Xiao Yingying advised Shen Jiayan.
"Hmm..." Shen Jiayan clearly had a tearful tone.
"Alright, alright, don’t stress about it. You were invited to play the lead role because Brother Xiaodong and Director Zhou arranged it. It was settled that day at the dinner table. Just act normally; if there’s a problem, we’ll find a solution." Xiao Yingying comforted Shen Jiayan.
"President Xiao... I have a scene tomorrow where I need to be barefoot, but today my foot got injured..." Shen Jiayan finally broke down, crying.
"This Feng is truly hateful. Don’t cry, it’s alright. I’ll find a way to help you vent this frustration."
"Hmm..."
After Xiao Yingying hung up the phone, she angrily left the chair behind her desk, pacing around the office. After thinking for a while, she dialed Song Xiaodong’s number.
