Chapter 1667: Chapter 1668: Deserves a Lesson

If Jian Yao leaves now, the director will surely complain to the company, and if she follows, she’ll also be in trouble. The company will most likely go after her.

She wholeheartedly means well for people, yet they don’t appreciate it. There’s no need for her to risk everything with the Crown Prince.

When artists get scolded by the company, they may just be sidelined, but a small assistant like her getting scolded might end up getting fired.

Jian Yao doesn’t treat her well, so there’s no need to risk her career for such an artist.

Once the assistant figured this out, she let out a breath and ran back to apologize to the director. No matter what, she needed to apologize to the director and do what she could to avoid being held accountable by the company later.

...

As expected, the director called Lemon Entertainment afterwards to complain to Wang Ying, who was quite upset and had to humble herself to apologize to the director. But the director was very firm, listing all the times Jian Yao acted like a diva and didn’t cooperate with the filming, demanding to replace the lead actress, even bringing out the investors to exert pressure.

Lemon Entertainment had invested in the show and had some say, but they weren’t the biggest investors.

Jian Yao managed to secure the female lead role in the drama because of that ambiguous scandal with Li Shengxiao. After some weighing, several investors had their preferred candidates give up the female lead role to her.

Now, everyone realized they were tricked by Lemon Entertainment, and Jian Yao walked into it herself. Naturally, the investors sided with the director — replace her!

The situation escalated significantly, and Lemon Entertainment’s CEO, Ai Wen, personally got involved, trying to pull strings. Despite the efforts, Jian Yao’s role was still downgraded. From the original female lead, she was replaced to play the third female role. And Ju Xiaowen, who backed the biggest investor, rose to replace Jian Yao.

Furious, Jian Yao smashed quite a few cosmetics, initially planning to throw a tantrum and not film. Wang Ying confronted her and bluntly threw the contract she had with the company and her filming contract at her, warning her with a stern face that any further antics would result in hefty breach penalties, followed by being sidelined.

After being dealt with, she became much more compliant, rolling up her belongings and returning to the shooting set that afternoon. But the crew was no longer what it used to be. Her trailer and five-star hotel suite were all gone. Not only was she treated like any ordinary actor, during filming, Ju Xiaowen deliberately made trouble for her, mocking her with words.

That wasn’t the end of it. Besides enduring usual grievances, Jian Yao also noticed that KT Entertainment was somehow targeting her as well.

In the afternoon, the company informed her that several offline events she had were deliberately sabotaged by KT Entertainment.

The person that "Little Luck" catapulted to fame was Zhou Chen. As the female lead, Jian Yao only had a small fan base, and after her deception was exposed, she suffered constant setbacks, much like Ju Xiaowen had claimed before: the higher you fly on boasting, the harder you fall.

Yet, whether it was the production crew or people in the industry, everyone regarded her as a joke! No one sympathized with her plight.

Who asked her to gain small fame riding on the popularity of "Little Luck" invested by Rong Yan, only to ungratefully step over her benefactor to climb up? Though the industry emphasizes fame and fortune, the biggest taboo is being an ingrate who steps over benefactors for gain. Jian Yao truly ended up shooting herself in the foot this time...

Someone else who was also not having a good time since the news of the marriage from Ins surfaced was Chu Xi!

Chu Xi drove back to Chu Garden in a fiery rush, storming in furious but then standing there, not knowing how to vent the dissatisfaction in her heart.
