Chapter 600: Chapter 600: Raising a Star (23) Chapter 600: Chapter 600: Raising a Star (23) The director’s attitude toward Chuzheng was clearly different.
Even the way he addressed her was different.
Even for addressing the male lead, the director called him Xin Yang, rather than Mr. Nie, such a polite yet distant appellation.
Chuzheng calmly said, “I’ve already said it before, just push back.”
Director: “…”
What kind of solution is this?
Is this how normal people solve problems?
“No… no need… I’m fine, director, I’m really fine,” Jian Dan seed frightened, her face pale.
“How can that be okay? You can’t be treated unfairly,” Chuzheng said with a serious and earnest expression.
It was as if today’s incident couldn’t end without Jian Dan pushing back.
The director didn’t even dare to speak now.
Let Jian Dan push back?
That would offend the people behind Jian Dan.
Not letting Jian Dan push back… that would offend Chuzheng.
Why can’t Chuzheng be offended?
Damn it! Can the investors be offended?!
The director decided to play dumb.
Why did Nie Xinyang have to drag himself into this ss!
No, why did he have to speak up just now!!
“Miss Chi, don’t push people too far!” Nie Xinyang wanted to show off in front of Jian Dan and naturally wouldn’t back down.
Chuzheng: “…”
Do I seem like I’m asking too much to have you push it back?
Is that pushing too far?
I’m trying to get revenge for Jian Dan, okay?
Where can you find such a good person like this!
And you don’t even appreciate it.
“Tong Xueyan wouldn’t mind if you pushed her back,” Chuzheng said to Jian Dan.
Jian Dan’s eyes reddened as she looked at Chuzheng, gazing into those clear and calm eyes, Jian Dan clearly saw her own reflection in them, small and blurred.
It was as if she never existed in her eyes.
This Chi Chuzheng…
She previously thought that her breakup with Chu Anyang was her strategy.
She wanted Chu Anyang to realize her importance.
But she was wrong.
She had no intentions of looking back.
And her whole deanor had changed.
“Yes, I don’t mind,” Tong Xueyan said, holding her head high, “It’s impossible for to apologize. If you really think I pushed you and caused you to fall, then push back.”
Tong Xueyan admitted she had pushed Jian Dan.
But she definitely hadn’t pushed her over.
Nie Xinyang alone voiced his support, but Chuzheng paid him no mind.
The director remained silent, just watching.
Chuzheng and Tong Xueyan actually seed a bit aggressive.
Jian Dan’s tears fell drop by drop, and finally, under Chuzheng’s gaze, she reached out and pushed Tong Xueyan lightly.
Tong Xueyan took two steps back.
Before Jian Dan could speak, Chuzheng said, “Stage crew, pull up the surveillance.”
Jian Dan and Nie Xinyang were both stunned.
Why check the surveillance?
Do they want to fra them?
Not only Jian Dan and Nie Xinyang thought this, but Tong Xueyan did as well.
She didn’t know what Chuzheng wanted to do.
But strangely, she felt like trusting her.
The stage crew, possibly intimidated by the aura emanating from Chuzheng, acted quickly.
Accidents can happen on set sotis, so to avoid tis when things can’t be clearly explained, there is surveillance.
Chuzheng asked Tong Xueyan, “Was the force of Jain Dan’s push just now the sa as when you pushed her?”
Tong Xueyan snapped back to reality: “… Almost.”
Chuzheng asked the stage crew to play the surveillance footage.
In the footage, Tong Xueyan indeed pushed Jian Dan lightly; from the movent, one could tell it wasn’t very forceful.
“The setting was quite clean, with debris a ter away from her, impossible for a tripping incident to occur. Tong Xueyan’s push wasn’t strong either; at most it could have caused soone to stagger backward two steps, which everyone has already seen.”
The girl’s crisp and indifferent voice slowly flowed into everyone’s ears.
“So, Miss Jian, how did you fall?” Chuzheng turned to Jian Dan, “Did you hurt your leg?”
Jian Dan: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Tong Xueyan: “…” Holy crap! It can be played this way?
Jian Dan was perfectly capable of hopping and jumping around, her leg completely fine.
“I’m sorry, I just lost my balance,” Jian Dan sobbed, “I said before… I’m sorry, I really did just lose my balance.”
Chuzheng continued, “If that’s the case, why didn’t you stop Mr. Nie from standing up for you? Are you using him as a tool?”
Jian Dan: “!!!”
A sense of panic gripped Jian Dan; she clenched her fists in her clothes, her palms breaking out in a cold sweat.
How dare she say everything!!
anwhile, Nie Xinyang slightly furrowed his brows, his questioning eyes turning towards Jian Dan nearby.
Beads of sweat covered Jian Dan’s forehead, her teeth biting into her pale lips, her eyes reddened with aggrieved tears.
“No response is the sa as consent.”
“I didn’t…” Jian Dan blurted out, her voice raising slightly, as if the lively, innocent deanor she usually had was lost, “I didn’t… I just didn’t react in ti earlier.”
“Alright, alright.” The director stopped pretending to be an ostrich and intervened as the diator at this mont.
This matter was originally a grudge between Tong Xueyan and Jian Dan.
The director wasn’t foolish either; he bypassed Chuzheng, negotiating directly with Tong Xueyan.
In the end, both parties resolved the conflict peacefully, and Jian Dan ran back to her dressing room in tears.
–
“Amazing,” Tong Xueyan said after talking with the director, handing a bottle of milk to Chuzheng, “You settled that little white lotus so quickly. If not for you, I really would have had to carry the bla today.”
Tong Xueyan hadn’t even thought about the surveillance footage at the ti.
Of course, surveillance couldn’t explain everything.
But Chuzheng’s approach was different.
She let Jian Dan push her first and compared it with the video footage, making the truth much clearer.
Chuzheng gazed into the void, calmness in the depths of her eyes: “I didn’t do it for you.”
As if I’d stand up for you!
“Hmm…” Tong Xueyan blinked, “I know you also dislike her, right? Always acting so innocent and naive, she’s the most cunning of all!”
“What are you doing?”
Tong Xueyan had been speaking for a while, but Chuzheng remained looking down at her phone, which made Tong Xueyan stretch her neck curiously to look.
Chuzheng put away her phone, took the milk from her hand, and gently reminded, “We’re starting.”
Tong Xueyan: “…”
F*ck!
She suddenly realized how cool that was!
–
As soon as Jian Dan entered the dressing room, her face changed completely with no trace of sadness or grief.
“Chi Chuzheng…”
She guessed that she was opposing her.
If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t have been so embarrassed today.
Jian Dan took a deep breath, took out her cellphone, and dialed Chu Anyang’s number.
“Anyang,” Jian Dan started crying as she spoke.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Anyang was imdiately panicked on the other side, “Why are you crying?”
Jian Dan just sobbed, her voice faint like the wling of a kitten. But each sob scratched at Chu Anyang’s heart, making him wish he could fly to her and wrap her in his arms.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, what happened, did you suffer any wrongs? Talk to slowly, don’t cry, okay?”
Perhaps it was Chu Anyang’s comforting voice that had an effect.
Jian Dan gradually cald down: “Anyang, I encountered…”
“Who did you encounter?”
“I t… Chuzheng…” Jian Dan’s crying didn’t lessen.
Without needing Jian Dan to complain, Chu Anyang himself asked, “Did she bully you?”
Jian Dan felt as if she was pricked by the words, crying even harder.
