724 You Are Not Worthy (1/2)
After Chen Tao insulted her, he stormed out.
The moment he stepped out he was stopped in his tracks. There was a huge group of people outside the door. Haining, the assistant director and the scriptwriter were at the forefront, followed closely by Bai Feifei, Han Xiaowan and a crowd of other actresses.
All these people had overheard what he had said just now.
Seeing them, Chen Tao was shocked. He promptly turned around and looked at Tang Mo'er.
Tang Mo'er's bright eyes landed on his face. A faint sneer played on her red lips.
Chen Tao realized that he had been tricked!
”Director Hai, I…” Chen Tao began to explain.
Haining stared at him with a piercing gaze. ”You kept hiding Mo'er's name during the audition. It's because you wanted to bed Mo'er and use it to blackmail her?”
”I…”
Caught red-handed, Chen Tao was unable to offer any explanation. He had never imagined himself to be stuck in a situation like this.
Han Xiaowan was hiding in the crowd and her face went white, cursing at this lustful fellow in her heart. Couldn't he keep it in his pants? All because he had wanted to bed Tang Mo'er so much, now his lust had done him in. All their efforts had come to naught.
Sh*t! Han Xiaowan looked around furtively. She needed to escape.
At this moment, Tang Mo'er walked over. ”Yes, Director Hai. Producer Chen did ask me to go to the bar to drink with him.” With that, Tang Mo'er's gaze landed on Han Xiaowan, who was preparing to sneak away. ”He told me Han Xiaowan was already with him, and that she would definitely get Shangguan Man'er's role. If I could learn from Han Xiaowan, I would be able to choose any role in ”The Concubine”.
Upon hearing these words, the actresses started to whisper amongst themselves. Everyone looked at Han Xiaowan—-
”Goodness, I didn't think that Producer Chen would be a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's a good thing he didn't have designs on me.”
”Did you all hear that earlier? Han Xiaowan has slept with Chen Tao! Chen Tao even said that she's already been screwed rotten by men.”
”That's nothing new. Han Xiaowan is famous for this in the entertainment industry. Everyone knows that she liked to bed other men.”
”At the audition, she even performed an inappropriately provocative scene. It's unbelievable that she still can take on the role of a servant. She must have slept with Chen Tao many times to be able to take on the role.”
”To have such people in the acting cast of 'The Concubine' is simply polluting the air.”
Just as Han Xiaowan was about to slip away, Tang Mo'er directed everyone's attention onto her and she was unable to escape.
Haining's countenance looked dreadful. ”We can't have people like this in our acting cast of 'The Concubine'. Han Xiaowan, scram and don't come back! You are officially off our production.”
With that, Haining looked at Chen Tao. ”As for Producer Chen, from now on, you are on your own!”
Chen Tao's wife was a fatty. But the fatty's father was the third largest stakeholder of Cathay Entertainment, and thus Chen Tao was assigned to be in the acting cast of 'The Concubine'. Because of this connection, Haining did not have the authority to fire Chen Tao.
Stunned, Han Xiaowan's mouth fell open. It was a dream. How could she be asked to leave? They had everything planned! Swallowing, she looked towards Chen Tao for help.
But Chen Tao evaded her gaze. It was evident that he was unable to save her now.
Chen Tao had abandoned her!
This was preposterous!
Han Xiaowan was filled with hatred. ”Director Hai, don't we have to settle another issue here? Tang Mo'er tampered with Feifei's makeup base. Shouldn't you chase Tang Mo'er out too?”
Hmph! Han Xiaowan looked at Tang Mo'er with an evil smirk. Tang Mo'er had used dirty tricks to chase her out. There was no way she was going to let her stay and get all the glory.
”Director Hai, I will not let the matter rest regarding Tang Mo'er's actions on me!” Bai Feifei made her stand clear.
At this juncture, Tang Mo'er walked over. ”Bai Feifei, listen carefully. I did not tamper with your makeup base.”
Bai Feifei snorted coldly. ”Will a thief admit that she's a thief?”
