“Assistant Shen, look at us. We’re all colleagues. Don’t be petty. Let him off this time!” Director Li tried to persuade her.
Thankfully, nothing had happened to her, and Assistant Zhou had not done anything. It would be fine as long as this big issue was resolved.
“Teacher Zhen, calm down. Aren’t you here too? You definitely wouldn’t let anyone take advantage of your assistant, right?” Director Li then tried to persuade Zhen Li.
“Sister Li, I’m really sorry. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely punish him properly.” Ling Sheng apologized sincerely. “Let him off this time. If he dares to look at Assistant Shen again, I’ll dig out his eyes, alright?”
Since she had already said that and everyone was trying to persuade her, Zhen Li was too embarrassed to continue insisting. Although she wished he would be imprisoned forever, she could not not cut him some slack. It would seem like she was too petty. She could only look at Shen Nian and give her a warning look. “Niannian, you decide!”
Shen Nian lowered her head, pretending not to see her expression. She shook her head and turned to run. He’d wanted to help her, but he had chosen the wrong method. Why would she be clamoring to send him to prison? Wouldn’t she be repaying kindness with enmity?
Ling Sheng said directly, “Since Assistant Shen doesn’t hold a grudge against petty people, forgive Zhou Zhou. Sister Li, calm down. I promise that this won’t happen again.”
“If you say so, I won’t say anything else. Sheng Sheng, you have to take good care of your people lest they implicate you.” Zhen Li was fuming. That ugly thing had done it on purpose. Finally, a man had taken a liking to her ugly appearance. If he was willing to touch her, she should have been overjoyed!
Ling Sheng nodded hurriedly, feeling relieved. She also wanted to know what had happened. Only when there was no one around did she look at Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou looked at her seriously. “Sheng Sheng, fire me!”
Ling Sheng frowned, looking like she was crazy. “What happened? Why would I fire you?”
Zhou Zhou said, “If you don’t fire me, I’ll resign. I won’t implicate you or abandon her.”
He could not ignore her. He was not a fool. He could obviously tell that she was being bullied by that woman called Zhen Li.
However, if he kept helping her while he was Sheng Sheng’s assistant, people would definitely dig out this skeleton and implicate her.
“I don’t agree.” Ling Sheng’s face was extremely serious. “If there’s any trouble, tell me. Let’s discuss it. There’s nothing we can’t solve.”
Zhou Zhou shook his head seriously. “This has nothing to do with you.”
Ling Sheng said, “Anyway, I don’t agree. As long as you don’t resign, everything else is negotiable.”
On the film set, the cameras were ready. It was time for Ling Sheng and Sheng Xichen’s scenes.
Upon seeing her enter the venue, Zhou Zhou stood outside the venue and announced loudly, “From now on, I’m not Ling Sheng’s assistant anymore. I’ve resigned. I was the one who did that today. It had nothing to do with her.”
Ling Sheng was stunned for a moment before she chased after him and shouted, “Zhou Zhou, stop right there!”
Zhou Zhou left quickly, not wanting her to catch up with him. Soon, he had already run away.
Zhen Li was watching from outside. She had not expected him to be such a brave man. This was for the best. If he hadn’t resigned, she would have felt annoyed and worried that he would tell her everything.
However, her ugly assistant was called Shen Nian. This was the first time she had heard of that. She had always called her “Hey” or “Ugly”!
