Chapter 33: Everyone’s Idol (3)

Editor: Atlas Studios

The assistant director unknowingly felt increased stress from Chuzheng’s expressionless face.

His mood was even more terrible as having a witless young girl was enough yet she still created such stress for him.

“Miss Gu, don’t go too far. Apologize to Manman now. If not, I’ll call the security guards.

“Go ahead and call them.” Chuzheng simply said.

The assistant director was speechless. “…” ‘This little brat really thinks that he does not dare to call the security guards in!’

“Why are all of you blocking the way over here?”

The assistant director raised his head and saw the director hurriedly walking out with his cell phone in his hands.

“Director, there’s nothing wrong.” The assistant director quickly explained. “A person is making a ruckus here. I’ll make her leave now.”

But the director had already walked out and saw Chuzheng. He smiled immediately. “Miss Gu, you’ve arrived. Didn’t we agree that I’ll come and fetch you? I’m really sorry for making you find the way yourself.”

She was their god of fortune!

She had to be properly waited upon!

“Hurry up and make the person causing trouble to leave. Don’t stand here and annoy others.”

The assistant director had a shocked look. ‘Was he hallucinating about the scene where the director was fawning over Gu Chuzheng just now?’

Liu Manman was not any better.

The director’s attitude…

“He’s referring to me,” Chuzheng answered for him.

“What?” The director was stunned before he came back to his senses and glanced at the assistant director and Liu Manman. He did not care about how Liu Manman got in as they were just filming a small film while she was a third female lead so as long as she could act, it was fine.

But…

The director suddenly recalled the previous incident where this third female lead stole their god of fortune’s acting role.

The director immediately broke into a cold sweat. Chuzheng had never especially mentioned this incident while he was too excited previously and hence, he forgot about this incident.

“What are you doing!” The director slapped the assistant director’s head. “She is Miss Gu. Open your eyes wide and look carefully! Does Miss Gu seem to be making trouble?”

“Apologize to Miss Gu now!”

The director scoffed.

The assistant director was stunned.

Apologize? To her?

“Director…” The assistant director wanted to ask for the reason, but before he could speak, he was scolded by the director.

Since he was the assistant director, the word “assistant” meant that he could never be better than the director.

“Sorry, Miss Gu.” The assistant director dryly apologized, but did not know where he was wrong. ‘Was the director turning crazy?’

Liu Manman stood at the side and her fingernails almost dug into her flesh.

“Miss Gu, I’m so sorry. Please don’t mind them. Come in.” The director immediately changed the topic.

After Chuzheng and the director went in, Liu Manman held back the assistant director’s arm. “Assistant director, what’s with Gu Chuzheng?”

The assistant director was frustrated as well and his tone was harsh. “I don’t know.”

He turned back and looked at Liu Manman. “Is she not your roommate? Don’t you know why she appeared here?”

Liu Manman shook her head. She really did not know.

Over these past few days, she left early and came back late so they had few opportunities to meet each other. Hence, she had not known what Chuzheng was doing at all.

At that time, she had not felt that she could talk much either.

“Ay! Assistant director… wait for me.” Liu Manman still had to rely on the assistant director and hence, she could not offend him.

Over there, the director brought Chuzheng in and gathered everyone as he introduced Chuzheng as their second female lead.

“The second female lead was changed?”

“She looks like a cold person and doesn’t seem nice to interact with, but she still looks quite pretty.”

“Have you seen her before?”

“I’ve never seen her before. She’s probably a newcomer. Could it be she came in through the back door?”

As the director saw the discussion getting out of hand, he shouted, “Not only is Miss Gu our second female lead, she is also our biggest investor. Everyone, take note of that!”

The scene immediately fell silent.

Liu Manman who just walked in, stood rooted to the ground.

‘Investor? And the biggest?’

Liu Manman thought she was hallucinating and harshly pinched herself yet the director continued to give orders and it was clear that she had not hallucinated.

‘She could not even clinch an acting role so how could she be the investor now?’

Impossible!

“You’ve landed me in a hot soup.”

Liu Manman frantically explained. “Assistant director, I didn’t. She…”

The assistant director glared at Liu Manman before he rushed forward to apologize.

Liu Manman’s face was writ large with disbelief as she stared at the girl who was surrounded by people.

How could this be?

The director arranged a private dressing room for Chuzheng. What a joke! She was their god of fortune! A private dressing room was definitely necessary.

Liu Manman walked into the dressing room in a huff.

Inside the dressing room, Chuzheng was alone. She closed the door and questioned her. “Gu Chuzheng, where did you get so much money?”

Chuzheng leaned on the dressing table as she said with an indifferent expression. “Who are you to ask me? Do I have to report to you?”

Liu Manman scoffed. “Am I not clear of your background?” ‘How could she have the money to invest? That was absolutely impossible!’

“So what is my background?” Chuzheng reversed the question. ‘She made it sound like she knew herself better than her, how impressive!’

Liu Manman said, “You didn’t even graduate from high school and belong to an average family. How could you have so much money?”

She rolled her eyes as though she seemed to understand something. “You put on an act all day and pretend that you’re high up in the sky. Could it be you took a man’s money and came over here to boast?”

‘She was not any better either by looking down on her all day.’

“You believed what I said?” Chuzheng played with her wrists. “Naive.”

“If you really had money, why would you live in that place? Gu Chuzheng, you can stop pretending. You have a sugar daddy, right? You…”

Peng——

‘It’s so noisy.’

Chuzheng put down the hammer that she did not know who put in there and threw Liu Manman who had fainted outside.

The people outside the door were shocked.

Chuzheng: Oh no, I forgot there were people outside.’

She held the door calmly. “She fainted.”

Everyone was at a loss. They could see that, but the question was why did she faint?

Chuzheng said with a serious expression, “You can take her back.”

After Chuzheng closed the door, she patted her chest two times in relief.

The news of the second female lead was the biggest investor who knocked down the third female lead the moment she arrived spread quickly within their filming crew and even escalated to the neighboring filming crew.

Liu Manman woke up and had almost stirred up trouble for Chuzheng before she was stopped by the assistant director.

The director had said before that nobody was allowed to offend their god of fortune.

No matter how impressive the assistant director was, he could not have bad terms with money.

Liu Manman felt extremely wronged. ‘Who did she think she was!’

She was merely a nobody yet how could she become a person envied by everyone in the blink of an eye and even had the upper hand over her.

“Manman, no matter what grudge you have with her, you have to tolerate it for now.” The assistant director threw her a sentence.

Liu Manman kept silent.

Liu Manman was indignant and started to spread rumors within the filming crew by saying Chuzheng had an old sugar daddy and she used to be a small player where her living quarters were all rented and was so poor that she could only eat instant noodles.

If she was not a sugar baby, how would she have so much money?

Chuzheng looked young and did not seem like a rich person.

Moreover, the credibility of rumors increases as it spreads.
