The manager and Xu Xi looked at each other. They had no choice but to hope that the female lead would change her mind.
However, the female lead seemed to be determined to terminate the contract with this drama and was unwilling to work with Xu Xi.
After seeing that the director was unreasonable, the female lead did not even go through her manager, and directly sought out the CEO, asking to terminate the contract.
She even insisted on her bottom line in the face of the CEO’s persuasion and comfort. She even threatened the CEO that if she could not terminate the contract with the production team, she would choose to terminate the contract with Huang Tu and set up her own company. She would terminate the contract even if she had to pay the penalty fee.
The female lead was considered the most popular female artiste in Huang Tu now. She was the highest standing female artiste in Huang Tu. If she chose to terminate her contract with the company, it would be a fatal blow to Huang Tu.
Even the CEO did not dare to go overboard in the face of the female lead’s unyielding attitude.
“Xiao Xiao, 1 can’t decide this matter alone. This is the unanimous decision of the higher-ups. It’s not good to go against it too much. Moreover, we’ve worked together for so many years. You also weren’t so concerned about lousy resources previously, and only cared about the remuneration, right? Why can’t you endure it this time? If you’re willing to endure it this time, then 1 promise to give you very good resources for your next drama. The kind that can win awards. What do you think?”
The CEO carefully advised Xiao Xiao, hoping that Xiao Xiao would change her mind.
However, Xiao Xiao only sneered. “CEO Wang, I won’t compromise on this matter. If the company insists on me filming this drama, then the company can’t blame me for disregarding all my years of relations with the company!”
After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, she did not wait for the CEO to say anything else and directly hung up the call with the CEO. She left the film set with her assistant and returned to the hotel.
Xiao Xiao had left, leaving behind a group of production team employees who looked at each other in dismay.
Their female lead had already run away. How were they going to film this drama?
When Xu Xi heard Xiao Xiao’s resolute attitude, his heart instantly sank.
He glanced at the crew members present. When he met the reproachful gazes of the crew members, he bit his lip and lowered his head.
Even so, he would not take the initiative to suggest that he leave the production team! This drama was his last hope. He could not give up no matter what!
At this moment, Gu Xiao and Chu An didn’t know what had happened to Xu Xi’s production team.
The two of them relaxed a little when they saw that the comments on the Internet had completely turned around and were no longer cursing at Star Brilliance.
Chu An glanced at Gu Xiao, who was sitting behind her desk and handling documents seriously. After hesitating for a while, he still went with his will and stood up to walk towards Gu Xiao.
He sat down on the armrest of Gu Xiao’s chair and wrapped his arms awkwardly around Gu Xiao’s waist. He rested his chin on the top of Gu Xiao’s head and a trace of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.
When Gu Xiao finally finished reading the document in her hand, she finally had time to focus on Chu An.
She reached out and put a hand on Chu An’s arms that were wrapped around her waist. “What’s wrong?”
Chu An rubbed his chin against the top of Gu Xiao’s head. “I just feel that Xiaoxiao is really too tired from managing the company. If I don’t…”
“Even if you don’t come to the company with me in the future, I can still manage the company well. With Tian Xian around, the pressure on me isn’t too great.”
Gu Xiao interrupted Chu An, giving him no chance to say anything else.
After all, even before he finished speaking, she had already guessed what Chu An planned to say next.
She held Chu An’s arm and made him relax a little. Then, she turned to face Chu An and raised her head slightly to look at him.
“Haven’t we already discussed this before? Are you going to change your mind now?”
There was a hint of a smile in Gu Xiao’s tone, but there was no smile in her eyes. There was even a hint of warning.
It seemed that as long as Chu An said the word “yes”, she would immediately think of a way to teach Chu An a lesson and make him take back the thoughts in his mind now.
Chu An was obviously familiar with Gu Xiao. With just one look from Gu Xiao, he knew what Gu Xiao meant.
He opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything about not wanting to change majors.
“Even if 1 don’t learn these things in the future, I can help you. If anything happens to the company in the future, Xiaoxiao, don’t hide it from me and decide to just handle it on your own..”
