Chapter 632: A Wise Man Does Not Speak In Riddles

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Madam Yu, we wise men do not speak in riddles. Since Feng Ke’er dared to pull this stunt, she naturally wouldn’t have done it without your backing. I did not say anything earlier because I wanted to save face for both of us. If you want to plead for her, then I would have done it for nothing.” Xu Dazhi sounded extremely rude.
Yu Lanxin had collaborated with Kefeng Films many times, so she had interacted with Xu Dazhi in the past, but she had never seen Xu Dashi so impolite.
Xu Dashi was a very tactful person. His words always made people feel as if they were bathing in the gentle spring breeze, and made the listeners feel good. No matter what he said, he knew exactly when to stop.
This was the first time she had seen Xu Dashi speak so bluntly as if he didn’t have any shrewdness at all.
“We’ve already paid Feng Ke’er for the film, so it’s no loss for her,” Xu Dashi said.
Yu Lanxin thought to herself, what use was the meager fees?
This also messed up the company’s plans for Feng Ke’er.
If she lost her role as the second female lead in “Broken Continent,” how would she be able to take on the female lead in the later dramas?
“Also, all she does is cause trouble. We have such a large investment in the drama. Any discerning person can tell at a glance how much we expect of this drama. How could she stir trouble during production for the sake of that tiny amount of profit? We are taking Feng Ke’er off the show, and won’t ever dare to work with her again.”
“Huh?…” Yu Lanxin had a bad feeling and felt very worried.
Xu Dazhi did not give her the chance to speculate and said straightforwardly, “I know Kefeng Films has an agreement with your company to give your artists parts in our shows.”
This time, Feng Ke’er was no longer a part of the picture.
“We don’t dare to use Feng Ke’er anymore. Your company has a lot of artists, and many people want this opportunity. Isn’t that perfect? Now you can give this opportunity to someone who doesn’t cause trouble. We will continue working together based on the same terms and conditions we previously had.” Xu Dazhi continued, “If you don’t like this decision, we won’t force you. We can always work with other companies.”
There were quite a number of people waiting in line to work with them.
“This…”Yu Lanxin’s heart turned cold. Kefeng Films wasn’t going to use Feng Ke’er in any future dramas.
Of course, there were other platforms out there even if Kefeng Films did not want to hire Feng Ke’er, so she would not be entirely jobless.
The company supported Feng Ke’er a lot since Feng Ke’er was relatively obedient.
The company got the bigger split of all earnings, and Feng Ke’er did not dare to have any objections.
If Feng Ke’er was asked to escort someone to a dinner party or something, she could probably put up with it.
Of course, if she was disobedient in the future, the company could always cut off all resources and groom someone new.
Yu Lanxin quickly pondered for a while, then, she said to Xu dashi, “Mr Xu, I can make the decisions regarding Feng Ke’er’s matters in this drama. It’s her fault for not acting properly. If you want to remove her, I have a legitimate reason to explain it to the company. As for the deal between our company and Kefeng, it is not up to me. I have to contact our boss.”
“Don’t bother.”How could Xu Dashi not have thought of this?
“I will contact your boss and discuss it with him. You just have to take Feng Ke’er away.” Xu Dashi would discuss the future of the show without Feng Ke’er, but he was not interested in listening to Yu Lanxin speak on Feng Ke’er’s behalf.
Hence, he simply made his stand clear. Since this was a serious matter, Yu Lanxin naturally did not dare to argue.
Meanwhile, Yu Lanxin was on the phone with Feng Ke’er when she could not help but think back to when she was talking to Xu Dashe on the phone.
“I have already stopped making trouble and doing my job well. If they don’t believe me, I can go and make a guarantee!”Feng Ke’er was afraid of losing this opportunity.
Feng Ke’er’s words pulled Yu Lanxin back from her thoughts.
“This matter was personally decided by the president of Kefeng. Do you think your promises still work at a time like this? Even if they continue filming, President Xu can still delete your scenes anytime. If that is what he wants, even the director has to take his orders.” Yu Lanxin knew Feng Ke’er was going to be forsaken.
Considering their boss’s personality, he definitely would never protect Feng Ke’er.
Just as Xu Dashi mentioned, there were plenty of artists around who could replace Feng Ke’er.
Feng Ke’er was being groomed by the talent agency. Now that she was losing her job, all the other artists in their company would be vying for the spot.
“We’re not in the same hotel. It’s getting late, so it’s not convenient for me to go to your place.” Yu Lanxin made an excuse.
Otherwise, she would still have to listen to Feng Ke’er’s crying and complaints if she went over.
Since Feng Ke’er was finished, Yu Lanxin was naturally unkeen about giving her any attention.
Most of the film crew were staying at the hotel near the filming location, so the rooms were very tight.
The actors had to stay in better accommodation, so they got the suites.
If the hotel was unable to accommodate both the artist and his entourage, the other people would have to be assigned to other hotels.
Hence, Yu Lanxin did not stay in the same hotel as Feng Ke’er.
Now, it had saved her the trouble of telling Feng Ke’er these things in person.
“I’ve booked a flight at 10:30 am tomorrow.” Yu Lanxin said, “I’ll wait for you at the entrance of your hotel at 8 am tomorrow.”
Feng Ke’er took a deep breath and said, “Lanxin, you were the one who encouraged me to threaten Tan Jinqi for more parts. You told me not to act if he refused to do it.”
“This matter… can’t be entirely blamed on me!”Feng Ke’er said desperately.
She was really flustered, so how could she think of any good ideas.
When Yu Lanxin heard her words, she instantly became angry, “It was you who wanted to increase your exposure and get more parts. I treated you as a friend and gave you an idea. I also reminded you that this matter had risks. It still hinged on whether the other party felt threatened or not, so it does not work on everyone. I told you to think carefully before you acted on it. You also said you wouldn’t hold me accountable regardless of your success. Now, you want to blame it on me.”
“If you think that I’m holding you back, I’ll tell the company when we get back. Someone else can always take care of you,” said Yu Lanxin bluntly.
“Lanxin, that’s not what I meant,” said Feng Ke’er quickly.
Yu Lanxin was one of the company’s best managers.
Yu Lanxin groomed her well and everyone felt very envious.
If Yu Lanxin told the company to change Feng Ke’er’s manager, the company might think that she had an unhappy relationship with Yu Lanxin. When they assigned her and new manager, they might give her someone who was not as good.
Feng Ke’er repeatedly apologized to Yu Lanxin.
Yu Lanxin did not really care about Feng Ke’er’s apology for now. She casually spoke a few words to Feng Ke’er.
Feng Ke’er found out that she had been barred from the drama by Kefeng.
Feng Ke’er thought Tan Jinqi again. “Did Tan Jinqi complain about me?”
Yu Lanxin wanted to find a target so that Feng Ke’er would have someone to vent her anger on.
She didn’t want Feng Ke’er to keep bothering her.
“I think so. Otherwise, why would President Xu Know all the details of that day?” Yu Lanxin said.
Regardless of whether or not they had finished talking about Tan Jinqi, she wanted Feng Ke’er to think so.
After Feng Ke’er hung up the phone, she wanted to go look for Tan Jinqi.. She only recalled he was probably at the film location after she had gone out of her room.
