Zhang Tao was furious. He had never seen such a shameless person before. What kind of person was this? How much capital did this person have to support such an actor with no professional ethics to become a popular idol?

Everyone else in the crew watched the scene unfold with bated breath, a collective gasp escaping their lips.

They all knew that Lin Xi had a powerful backer protecting him, so no matter what Lin Xi did on set, they could only turn a blind eye.

Only a few, like Jiang Ye, dared to stand up to him head-on. Everyone knew Jiang Ye's predicament, so no one dared to mess with Lin Xi.

This is the third person to criticize Lin Xi today, and one of the actors who knew the inside story looked at the director with a pained expression.

What did the director do to deserve this? To have such an unreasonable actor who only knows how to act like a diva, and now he's ruining his life with it. It's truly tragic.

Song Shiwei's furrowed brows were so deep they could have crushed an elephant. Damn it, in all her years of life, she had never seen such a shameless person!

Why is he so arrogant? His rich sister only gives him money, so why does he act so arrogantly in the entertainment industry? Could it be that he has other sugar daddies behind him?

Song Shiwei was silent for two seconds, then said, "[There really is!! The CEO of Tianhua Entertainment?! I was wondering why Lin Xi was so arrogant, walking sideways like a crab in the entertainment industry. If I had such a powerful backer, I'd be even more arrogant than him.]"

[Wait a minute, isn't the CEO of Tianhua Entertainment the mother of Lin Xi's rich older sister?]

[Oh my god, what kind of gossip have I just stumbled upon??? A mother and daughter sharing a husband? What kind of crazy situation is this?]

Jiang Ye:?!

Jiang Zhuxin:?

Director Zhang Tao:?

Tianhua Entertainment is an entertainment company that is neither too big nor too small in the current entertainment industry. Its chairman, Yu Xiuhua, is a typical...

Strong Women

She divorced her husband years ago and has been running this entertainment company on her own, raising her daughter alone. Over the years, she has steadily built her career and made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

Tianhua Entertainment has quite a few excellent actors under its wing, and the movies and TV series invested in by Tianhua Entertainment have also received decent responses. Who would have thought that Yu Xiuhua is Lin Xi's sugar daddy?

Although Zhang Tao didn't believe it was true, judging from Lin Xi's arrogant attitude, it did seem reasonable.

[Hmm... the CEO of Tianhua Entertainment seems to be an investor in this drama. She's coming soon, and the big show is about to begin.]

[They plotted to frame director Zhang Tao, successfully getting the investor to catch him cheating on his wife, and then... tsk tsk tsk...]

[Director, you'd better pray for yourself.]

Zhang Tao was puzzled, while Lin Xi looked at the director with a sinister expression. The assistant director then walked in from the doorway, his smile obsequious. "Oh, what's going on? The atmosphere is rather eerie."

[He's here, he's here! He's coming with the director's bad luck potion! The director is asking you, are you scared?]

The gossip squad, including Jiang Ye and Jiang Zhuxin, quickly arrived, their eyes fixed on the bottles of water the assistant director was holding.

Their eyes widened in disbelief; the assistant director really dared to do that.

Lin Xi stood awkwardly on the stage, giving the assistant director a fierce look. The assistant director gave him a look, and Lin Xi rolled his eyes and turned his face away.

"Director Zhang, he's a new actor, why are you arguing with him? Come, come, sit down and have some water. I'll talk to him, okay?" The assistant director eagerly handed the water in his hand to the director, screenwriter, producer, and other key members of the creative team.

Song Shiwei's eyes widened in disbelief. [These two are really daring! They drank spiked water and wiped out the entire production team?!]

[No wonder I was wondering why this production crew became Lin Xi's personal fiefdom later on, with all the main creative members losing their jobs. After that, who among the main creative members would dare to disobey his ideas? They had no choice but to obediently listen to Lin Xi.]

[Um, should I remind the director? He absolutely mustn't drink this. He's really pitiful; he's become a sacrifice for Lin Xi's rise to power.]

While eating melon seeds, Song Shiwei silently muttered to herself.

The director, who had a bottle of water shoved into his hand by the assistant director:...

The main cast and crew members, holding a bottle of water handed to them by the assistant director:...

Is this statement true or false?

[Wait, didn't they notice the water bottle had been wrung out?] Song Shiwei silently complained to herself. [My parents always told us not to drink things given to us by strangers, or we might get tricked by bad guys.]

Jiang Ye and Jiang Zhuxin nodded in agreement, realizing that there was absolutely no sense of vigilance involved.

The others were squeezing the water, sweating profusely; the water had indeed been wrung out.

The assistant director was busy comforting Lin Xi, but from their perspective, they were clearly...

Director Zhang was the first to look away; what he saw was... his own eyes!

Lin Xi and the assistant director were clearly touching each other's hands, and the assistant director even went further and touched Lin Xi's buttocks.

Recalling the words he had just heard, Director Zhang felt a sudden surge of anger welling up inside him. Did he think people were fools just because they didn't get angry?

Does he deserve to be taken advantage of?

He took a deep breath. Since they were heartless, then he wouldn't be so ruthless in return.

He squinted slightly and quietly reached for a thermos that the assistant director had casually placed on the table.

Director Zhang recognized it; it was his personal cup. Since you both like drinking spiked water so much, then you can drink your fill.

While the assistant director was busy Lin Xi, and the two were putting on an extreme tug-of-war on stage, the director had already secretly poured the water from his bottle into the assistant director's thermos under the table.
