Reception room.
After seeing Ning Xi appear, Chang Li showed the expected smug expression, "Our great star Ning finally showed up! I've been waiting for so long!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the cold-faced man beside Ning Xi with some surprise, "Who is this person? Don't you know that you can't bring outsiders into the company casually?"
Ning Xi glanced at her: "I'm a lawyer."
"Oh, there's a lawyer!" Chang Li thought she was just a random hire for show, and snorted disdainfully, "You're still trying to be arrogant at this point, do you know how big a mess you've made this time? If I hadn't repeatedly interceded for you with the company, you would have been banned long ago!"
Ning Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Oh, you're begging for me? Then may I ask what was the result of your plea, Sister Chang?"
Chang Li threw a speech to her and said, "The company will hold a press conference next. As long as you publicly apologize at the press conference and voluntarily withdraw from the crew of Tian Xia, Lord Xue Luo will be generous enough not to sue you and give you a chance to reform. But for an artist with a corrupt character like you, even if I protect you, I'm afraid no crew will dare to use you."
After beating her with a stick, Chang Li gave her another date and said with a serious expression, "But don't be discouraged. If you sincerely repent, the company will not ignore you. You should know that some directors don't care about scandals. Look, I have just arranged another film for you. As long as you work hard, you still have a chance to make a comeback!"
Ning Xi looked at her with a half-smile, and said in a faint voice, "A big production... I wonder which big production Sister Chang has arranged for me?"
Seeing Ning Xi taking the bait, Chang Li looked at her mockingly, then said, "Are you still afraid that I'll trick you? You must have heard of "Laughing Spring Breeze", right?"
Ning Xi's fingers tapped the armrest intermittently, "Jiang Penghai's new work?"
"Yes, it's Director Jiang! You know, all the movies Director Jiang shoots are big sellers. When he was shooting a movie in Hong Kong, Guo Qisheng didn't even know where he was!"
Listening to Chang Li praising Jiang Penghai in all seriousness, Ning Xi almost laughed out loud, but then her eyes suddenly darkened, "Sister Chang, if you want me to sell myself, just say it directly! No need to be so roundabout!"
This Jiang Penghai started out by filming pornographic films. Even after he was whitewashed, he wasn't much better. What people criticized the most was his personality.
This guy is extremely lustful. He has slept with almost all the actresses in his crew. Last year, he was almost brought to court for having sex with a minor.
It was really hard for them, they took so much effort to pick such a blockbuster and such a director for her.
Chang Li frowned when she heard that. "What do you mean by asking you to sell yourself? Isn't it just a little bit bigger? Why, you're still not happy? For someone like you, if I hadn't strongly recommended you, people might not be happy to hire you! Think about how much loss you've caused to the company this time? If you can't get any roles, are you planning to let us keep you idle?"
"Sorry, I won't take this role." Ning Xi was too lazy to listen to her breaking new ground and refused directly.
Chang Li got angry on the spot and slammed the table, "Ning Xi, you have repeatedly disobeyed my orders. Do you still have me as your agent? I'm telling you, you have to accept Director Jiang's film even if you don't want to!"
"Agent?" Ning Xi sneered, "You won't be one soon."
"Haha, you still want to change your agent? That also depends on whether there is anyone in Xinghui who dares to hire you!" Chang Li was fearless.
"What I want to change is the company."
