My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 545 - : He Can’t Possibly Give Up the Whole Project for Her
Chapter 545: Chapter 545: He Can’t Possibly Give Up the Whole Project for Her
God knows how shocked Lin Zhiya was this morning when she saw him get up at eight and have his driver go buy sanitary pads from the nearby mall.
That level of shock was almost on par with seeing a comet hit the Earth.
“The water’s cold, your stomach will hurt.”
“…I know.” Rong Yan didn’t expect him to remind her about that; she ran into the bathroom with her face burning…

Meanwhile, at HuanYu Building, Rong Weiwei wasn’t suffering from menstrual cramps but from a headache, backache, and pain all over her body.
She stood in Xin Lanye’s office, listening to the domineering woman tell several executives, including Shi Mufeng, right to her face, “I’ve heard about the issue with Director Stephen. Since he feels you’re not suitable, I plan to push another actor to replace you. KT seems to have suggested Li Chunyu, and the director hasn’t finalized anyone yet. Li Chunyu isn’t Jiang Xinyue, so the competition isn’t particularly intense. I’m thinking of pushing Yang Bi forwards to compete for it. You should start arranging other resources on your end. Do you have any objections?”
Rong Weiwei felt as if she’d been slapped across the face in public, standing there with a pale and flushed complexion, her lips tightly clenched.
Before she could speak, Shi Mufeng stood up and protested, “Mom! That resource was confirmed for Weiwei, how can you just decide to change it all of a sudden?”
He was still unaware of Rong Weiwei’s encounter with Stephen, who came to discuss replacing her, so his first reaction was to defend Weiwei.
Xin Lanye, who had eaten more salt in her lifetime than he had rice, faced the challenge without a flinch, glancing at the silent figure before replying indifferently, “It’s not that I don’t want to give her the resources, but the director insists on changing the cast. I’ve already communicated with the director, and he has expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the actress. If our side doesn’t change the actress, he will change the investor. I can’t possibly sacrifice the entire project for one female artist under my company, can I?”
“But Weiwei has done a lot of preparation for this movie, and when she met with the director before, Director Stephen had said that she performed well…”
Xin Lanye interrupted him impatiently, bluntly stating, “Just look at all the news you two have caused lately. It’s quite normal for the director to want an actress without any scandals. After all, the movie is going to be shot for half a year – who knows what other issues might arise. Nobody wants to take that risk!” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Shi Mufeng wasn’t satisfied with this answer and frowned, intending to argue further for Rong Weiwei, but Xin Lanye’s sharp gaze and assertive demeanor cut him off, “HuanYu has already been overwhelmed dealing with her issues lately. What else are you dissatisfied with? If you’re really that unhappy, why don’t you just start your own company and exclusively support her? Otherwise, this small temple of HuanYu can’t accommodate such a big Buddha!”
Shi Mufeng was scolded into a shamed silence, and without the courage to confront Xin Lanye head-on, he fell silent with an ugly expression on his face.
His silence undoubtedly represented a compromise.
Rong Weiwei felt as if there was a stone lodged in her chest – awkward, uncomfortable, and filled with intense disappointment. She couldn’t rely on Mufeng and had to face Xin Lanye’s discontent herself, saying with difficulty, “Auntie, I understand the company’s difficulties. I’ll personally speak to Director Stephen. As for the freed-up schedule…”
Rong Weiwei was as unwilling as one could be, enduring the unpleasantness and speaking with a pale face, “I will look at the resources previously submitted and select a new one.”
