No one in the room? Zhou Lifen's expression changed slightly, and she smiled, "Director Zhu, are you joking with me?"
"Do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you, Lifei? You know I have many choices for the leading actress, it's not necessarily you."
"No, no, Director Zhu, there must be a misunderstanding here. I will definitely give you an explanation. Please calm down, it's not worth getting upset and affecting your health."
"Lifei, you know how I treat you, so I'm giving you one last chance."
"Alright, alright, I understand. Thank you, Director Zhu, I will definitely give you an explanation. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Zhou Lifen said with a fawning smile.
As soon as she hung up the phone, the smile on her face disappeared completely.
She dialed her agent Chen Fang's number and said coldly, "Director Zhu said Mu Yan wasn't in that room at all last night. What the hell happened? How did she get away?"
"Didn't she take that medicine? How did she get away?" Chen Fang was also a bit surprised.
"You're asking me? Who do I ask?" Zhou Lifen shouted, "Do you know how important this role is to me? Check it right away and find out what happened!"
She hung up the phone and threw her phone onto the bed.
That beautiful face was almost twisted, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Little bitch, you actually ruined my big plan."
Thinking about having to have dinner with that ugly man tonight and being taken advantage of made her even angrier.
After staying in Upper City for a week, Mu Yan returned to the film city to shoot.
The contract she signed with Zhou Lifen was about to expire, which meant that after these few days of filming, she would no longer be Zhou Lifen's stand-in.
On the set, Mu Yan almost always passed on the first take because Zhou Lifen was simply not there.
As the lead actress, she didn't come to the set at all, relying solely on a stand-in, probably only she could do such a thing.
However, on the last day, Zhou Lifen showed up.
She wanted to continue to make things difficult for Mu Yan, but unfortunately, she hadn't been there the past few days, and though the director didn't say anything, his displeasure was written all over his face.
There was nothing she could do but grit her teeth and watch as Mu Yan's scenes wrapped up.
In the evening, Zhou Lifen invited everyone to a club to make up for her absence from the crew these days.
Mu Yan was also on the invitation list. She was just a little stand-in and had no right to refuse.
Otherwise, she'd be said to be "putting on airs" by those with ulterior motives.
The club was near the film city. Zhou Lifen knew the club owner, and the private room was booked in advance.
The private room was very large, capable of accommodating around thirty people. Mu Yan sat in the farthest corner, watching everyone else drink and play games.
"Mu Yan, have you ever come to a place like this with Zhou Ying before?" A girl sitting nearby suddenly leaned over and asked.
Mu Yan glanced at her. It was Fan Youyou, the actress playing the maid to the lead actress.
It was said they were the same age, and she had a rather innocent look.
Mu Yan and Fan Youyou occasionally did scenes together, so they had some acquaintance.
"No."
Fan Youyou gave her a surprised look, "Aren't you on good terms with Sister Zhou?"
She once thought so too. Mu Yan frowned slightly, ready to speak, when she heard a voice call out.
"Mu Yan, come over and have a drink, you're the only one missing."
Mu Yan looked up and saw Zhou Lifen smiling brightly at her, and everyone else had stopped their merriment, watching her.
She stood up and said calmly, "Sister Zhou, you know I can't drink."
Zhou Lifen's eyes smiled even more, "Weren't you quite the drinker when you were with me last time? Everyone's here today, why so shy now?"
