Chapter 1477: Chapter 1381: Don’t be smug, I won’t let you off

Director Xie sighed, "Tiantian, I want to help you, but there’s really no way to explain this to President Gu and Mrs. Gu. What you did was far too outrageous. Didn’t you text me this morning saying you wanted to resign? I accept now. Pack up your things, and in the afternoon, someone will send you back."

Shao Tiantian was almost stunned. She had not expected the director to be so resolute, not even leaving her a sliver of room for negotiation.

She practically screamed, "Director, you can’t treat me like this! Do you know how hard I worked to get this opportunity? You can’t do this to me!"

Director Xie seemed to be losing patience as well.

He directly said to the assistants in the room, "Please escort Miss Shao out."

The two assistants in the room practically dragged Shao Tiantian out.

As Shao Tiantian reached the door,

she saw Xia Yangyang and the other guests standing at the entrance.

Shao Tiantian pointed her finger at Xia Yangyang, eyes blazing, "It was you, wasn’t it? It had to be you who forced the director to replace me, right? Xia Yangyang, don’t think you’re off the hook. I won’t let you get away with this."

After finishing her rant, Shao Tiantian shook off the two assistants. "I’ll leave on my own."

With that, she stormed out of Director Xie’s office.

The people standing at the door were left utterly dumbfounded by Shao Tiantian’s sudden outburst.

Lu Yao grabbed Xia Yangyang’s arm to comfort her, saying, "Don’t pay attention to that crazy woman."

However, Xia Yangyang’s thoughts were elsewhere.

Earlier, she had vaguely overheard parts of Shao Tiantian’s argument with the director inside.

And when Shao Tiantian stormed out, she’d repeatedly stated it was Xia Yangyang who had forced the director to replace her.

In truth, the outcome was already clear to everyone.

The director had unexpectedly decided to replace her.

While everyone at the door was still dazed,

Director Xie’s voice came from inside, "Is everyone here? If so, come on in."

Everyone walked into Director Xie’s office.

Director Xie stepped out from behind his desk.

He then gestured for everyone to sit down.

They all settled into the sofa chairs nearby.

Director Xie stood up.

He walked over to Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen.

Director Xie said, "First of all, regarding what happened last night, I apologize on behalf of the production team to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu. Ultimately, it was our negligence that allowed such a thing to occur."

Seeing Director Xie’s sincerity, Xia Yangyang quickly replied, "Director Xie, this has nothing to do with you nor the production team. Please don’t take it to heart."

Li Wenwen also chimed in from the side, "Exactly, Director Xie, there’s no need for this. Yangyang definitely won’t hold a grudge against the crew. It’s just about Shao Tiantian—how are you planning to handle her?"

At this point, Director Xie decided to cut straight to the point.

He stated bluntly, "The production team has already discussed this with the company, and we’ve decided to replace her temporarily."

Even though everyone at the door had already anticipated this outcome,

it still came as a shock to hear it directly from Director Xie’s mouth.

After all, the show had already been halfway through filming.

Unless absolutely necessary, the production team would never make the decision to replace someone.

After all, the budget had already been spent in full.

And most importantly, replacing someone meant finding another celebrity who was both highly popular, suitable in all aspects, and—most rare of all—currently free from other commitments.

Lu Yao commented from the side, "If we’re replacing someone, does that mean we have to start filming from scratch?"

Director Xie responded, "No, that won’t be needed. The replacement will be edited into the post-production to make it look like a prearranged segment. You all don’t need to worry about the previously filmed content; the production team will do its best to seamlessly tie everything together. It won’t affect any of you."
