Chapter 78 - Not Qualified Chapter 78: Not Qualified
Mo Li’s status didn’t change much from being the stand-in that one time. She was still a normal crew member, serving the real actors. However, people were more willing to greet her and even gossip with her.
Whenever Wen Xue saw Mo Li pass her by, her fists would clench. As Mo Li walked past her, Wen Xue smiled coldly and said, “How hypocritical and pretentious. One time before the camera and her tail is almost up in the air.”
People like Wen Xue gauged others by how she viewed herself. Since she was that kind of person, she assumed Mo Li was the same as well.
That day she was scolded so badly by Director Zhang but no one came to comfort her. But what about Mo Li? She was a new actor but with that small bit of contribution, she won everyone’s praise and adoration.
This unhinged Wen Xue and she wanted to ask. Why do you get such special treatment? You’re just a bitch who hasn’t been in any actual movies, so stop going around flaunting people’s approval!
Wen Xue’s assistant saw how dark her boss’ face was so she quickly leaned down and whispered something in Wen Xue’s ears. Wen Xue snickered and then her face colored with a wicked smile.
Wen Xue went to the dressing room to reapply her make-up. Then her assistant called for Mo Li to bring a cup of coffee for Wen Xue. As soon as Mo Li walked into the dressing room, Wen Xue’s assistant locked the door.
The dressing room was filled with Wen Xue’s people. Mo Li glanced at them indifferently. It has finally reached her limit?
Without giving Mo Li the chance to speak, Wen Xue immediately leaped to give Mo Li a slap. Mo Li leaned to the side to avoid the attack. Her grasp on the cup of coffee loosened and the hot drink splashed on Wen Xue.
“You bitch! Look at what you have done!” Wen Xue howled angrily and readied with another slap. With Mo Li’s quick reflex, she successfully avoided it again.
Pulled along by her momentum, Wen Xue lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Mo Li just found this very amusing. She frowned at Wen Xue and asked, “Are you really that desperate?”
The assistant hurried to help Wen Xue up from the ground. Wen Xue turned to Mo Li and scolded, “Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, no one at the crew really know your name. You were a stand-in for one time and that is all. Do you think you’re better than me now?” Wen Xue was shaking as she had sprained her ankle from the fall. So her threats didn’t sound scary at all.
When Wen Xue failed to get the scared reaction out from Mo Li, she exploded again. “This is your scheme to replace me on the cast, isn’t it?”
…
In the surveillance room, Quan Yu’s face was dark. “This is the safety that you’ve promised me?”
Nie Li beside him was on the phone. She was satisfied to find out all the hot topics were dominated by her stars. She mocked the celebrities from the other agencies.
Then she turned back to Quan Yu. “You can’t really blame Wen Xue for feeling threatened. Mo Li is too beautiful. Plus everyone knows about Director Zhang’s temper. If not for the fact that 2/3 of the movie has been done and he assumed the project’s sponsor has a deep connection with Wen Xue, he would have requested a cast swap already.”
Even though Nie Li was not present at the set, she had heard from others how Wen Xue was often scolded by Director Zhang. It was natural for Wen Xue to harbor resentment because of it.
On top of that Wen Xue was a naturally arrogant person. She didn’t respect her seniors and didn’t take people who were less popular than her seriously. In her eyes, Mo Li was supposed to be a nobody but somehow Mo Li mixed so much better with the crew than she did. Mo Li even managed to befriend the reticent An Wan.
These incidents added up in Wen Xue’s eyes, it naturally led to the bullying.
Wen Xue had to do something to vent the anger piled up in her heart.
…
Back in the dressing room, Wen Xue pushed her assistant away and she glared at Mo Li with terrifying gaze. “I’m telling you, you’re just a small stand-in, don’t even think about replacing me! You are not qualified!”
