Xiang Yi looked at him quietly.
Director Liu used the usual routine of suppressing actresses and said eloquently, “Some things cannot be achieved through just hard work. It is important to have self-awareness. Ahem, I’m not talking about you, please don’t jump to conclusions!”
However, the tone of his voice made it seem like he was telling her to jump to conclusions and assume that he was talking about her.
“You artistes have it the easiest during filming. Look, the cameramen, lighting technicians, set manager, and background actors are all suffering.” Director Liu pretended to be emotional and sighed. “All beings suffer. All of us just want to try to do our jobs well, but some people can have ten times the harvest with just a tenth of the effort, while some may give it their all, only to receive nothing in the end.
“So?” Xiang Yi asked.
Director Liu was stunned by how calm she was.
Most actresses would begin to get anxious once they hear that.
In today’s society, women are under extra pressure, and in the entertainment industry, female artistes are not only worried about their appearance all their lives but also in their careers.
They always feel that they are not good enough.
When they hear others denounce them, they will doubt life even more.
‘If you’re not good at sales, why don’t you try another aspect?’
That was how Director Liu got many actresses to willingly climb into his bed.

Seeing that Xiang Yi did not catch what he meant, Director Liu cleared his throat and said, “Miss Xiang, your current popularity is only brought about by the variety show. Without any works, you’ll just be a floating weed who won’t be able to maintain a foothold…”
“Why should floating weed have a foothold?” Xiang Yi asked in puzzlement. “Even salted fish can turn over. Floaters can just follow their hearts. Everyone has the right to choose their own life.”
Director Liu was dumbstruck.
“So you’re willing to be floating weed?!”
“Can’t I be a human?” Xiang Yi said calmly.
Director Liu: “…”
‘Why is this girl so stubborn?’
The make-up artist happened to arrive at this moment.
Seeing Xiang Yi in person, the makeup artist was stunned.
“Mr. Xiang, your skin condition is wonderful, you don’t need any foundation at all.” The makeup artist quickly sucked up to her. “I’ll simply brighten your features with some highlighter…”
Director Liu refused to go. Instead, he came close and said, “I’ll help you straighten your hair, Miss Xiang.”
The makeup artist had a sullen expression but he didn’t dare to voice his displeasure.
Director Zheng was a geek at filming, who could spend an entire day filming the same few scenes and rarely bothered about the daily affairs of the crew. Hence, Director Liu became the only one calling the shots.
Xiang Yi beat Director Liu to picking up the random little metal box that someone had left on the table.
She said calmly, “I have a speciality.”
Director Liu thought about it for a while before cracking a dirty joke with Xiang Yi. “I also have a strength…”
In the next second…
Click!
The small iron box was easily deformed by her singlehanded clenching!

She raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, “It’s nothing, I just applied a little more strength.”
“!”
Director Liu felt a sharp pain in a certain part of his body.

Given Xiang Yi’s strength, a casual pinch by her would probably cause his member to rupture…
Director Liu swallowed some saliva and frantically looked for an excuse. “Uh, I suddenly remembered that I have a scene to direct later. I’ll go to the set now.”
After he left, the make-up artist couldn’t help but give Xiang Yi a thumbs up.
“Miss Xiang, you’re awesome! You have no idea how many female staff members in the crew are irked by him.. Finally, someone can deal with him. Hahaha!”
