I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 147 - 136: Betting Agreement

How could there be such an adorable man? He’s more transparent than those much older than him, even stronger.

Thinking about the past in front of Zhou Mubai, she had to be extremely careful even when helping him, fearing that he would find out, and she felt a sigh for herself.

Indeed, people need to explore the outside world more, then they won’t think their boyfriend is a treasure. With more experience, one might realize that their boyfriend could just be picked out of a trash heap, and they hadn’t noticed before.

She nestled in his arms, but then, Director Cui suddenly sent a message.

He said that the incident had blown up too much, and they needed to talk again about Pei Jinxi’s contract.

What did that mean?

Although Pei Jinxi had been cleared of the false accusations, was Director Cui still not willing to use him because he was angry?

Pei Jinxi looked at the message and stood up, "I need to go back to the set first."

"I’ll come with you."

"There’s no need; you’ve been tired for so long."

"No, I have to see for myself, in case they try to bully you."

Mu Qianli stood up resolutely and assertively. She could understand the other side’s point of view, but she was still angry.

She was protective; no one could bully her man!

On the set, watching Pei Jinxi come in, Director Cui said, "Aren’t you supposed to be on vacation? Why are you here?"

"Director Cui, what do you mean by changing the contract? Are you planning to replace me?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Director Cui, engrossed in today’s footage and without looking up, said, "You have to understand our position. You’ve caused such a situation; I’m in a difficult spot as well. Everyone is watching."

"But Lin Wanruo already voluntarily withdrew, and she explained everything."

"Her withdrawal means many scenes need to be reshot. You’re also halfway through, who knows if it will continue to affect your reputation. If something else happens and we have to reshoot again, should I even bother releasing the film?"

Mu Qianli said, "Hey, you’ve lost both of your leads at once; your film was doomed to fail anyway."

Director Cui looked at Mu Qianli, "You’re just an agent, what do you know? We each have our own positions, so you better stay out of it. Whatever is going on between you and Pei Jinxi, I’ve been honorable enough not to talk about it. But if you keep meddling, I won’t have to say anything; others will find out sooner or later."

Mu Qianli’s cheeks were slightly flushed.

She felt a tad embarrassed.

Especially when she saw others making faces behind her, she couldn’t help but think that she should have been less obvious at that time.

But...

"We’re both single; it’s not against the law!"

"Ha, aren’t you several years older than him?"

Director Cui lifted his head, pointing out the crucial issue.

"You..."

Mu Qianli felt like rolling up her sleeves in anger.

Pei Jinxi said, "Director Cui, this has nothing to do with Qianli. I just want to ask what it would take for you to continue collaborating. I don’t want to give up halfway; I’ve already filmed so much, and giving up is not my style."

"What it would take..." Director Cui raised his head, instinctively prepared to put him in his place, "We’re currently investing three hundred million in the movie’s revamp with four different partners. If you can guarantee that this three hundred million won’t go down the drain, then we can talk. As for how you guarantee that, you’ve been in the industry long enough to understand."

Mu Qianli stirred.

That meant either finding a cinema willing to collaborate, promoting the film adequately to ensure attendance and screen time, and making sure the theaters’ promotions are on point. Without a solid relationship with the cinemas, how could he get the screenings? Or it meant finding another company willing to sign a risk-sharing agreement.

"You’re just bullying us, huh? Might as well tell us to go dream."

"You know the situation and still talk about it?"

Director Cui was aware of the background of Pei Jinxi’s company; it was not too small, but compared to a conglomerate like Huasheng, it was far behind.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and a person hurried in.

"Director Cui, the president of Wanrui Company has personally come..."

Wanrui Company?
