Chapter 13: Key Recording
"Impossible!" Han Ming blurted out subconsciously, then sneered, "Don't even think about it, the company will never let you break the contract, and of course, the company won't give you any resources either. Mu Lingyun, you're destined to spend these ten years here in vain."
Mu Lingyun frowned slightly, "Do you really intend to do this?"
Han Ming no longer concealed his intentions, "Yes, the company will not allow you to leave, nor will it provide you with any resources. You can just look forward to enjoying a decade in the freezer."
After saying this, Han Ming made a call to the security guards to have Mu Lingyun thrown out.
Confronted with the security guards who appeared swiftly, Mu Lingyun knitted her brows and looked at Han Ming, "I hope you won't regret this."
Han Ming laughed with irony, "What can you possibly do to make me regret? Mu Lingyun, as you yourself said, you have nothing, and you're an orphan. Even if you died, nobody would care. In the future, even your basic needs will become a problem for you, how could you possibly make me regret anything?"
"Show the guest out." After finishing, Han Ming instructed the security guards with a sentence.
"Miss Mu, please leave, don't make it difficult for us," one of the security guards gestured with his hand, indicating Mu Lingyun to depart.
Mu Lingyun didn't say much and left with the security guards.
Once out of Shengshi Entertainment, Mu Lingyun pondered how she could economize and land a lethal blow on Han Ming.
Just at that moment, the mechanical female voice in her mind sounded again.
[Check-in time has arrived, would you like to check in?]
"Check in," Mu Lingyun said immediately.
She was actually quite looking forward to what this second check-in with the system would bring her.
[Check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining a crucial recording, please go to your phone's file manager to retrieve it.]
What the hell was a crucial recording?
Mu Lingyun found it a bit magical, the system could actually plant recordings on her phone?
She opened the file manager and sure enough, saw several new audio files.
Putting on her headphones, she clicked on the first file and heard the voices of Lai Yuan and Han Ming.
"Director Han, what do you need me for?"
"How is Lingyun doing in your crew?"
"Miss Mu is doing quite well, her acting is also passable, rest assured, this lead female character is likable, once it airs, Miss Mu will certainly become wildly popular!"
"Who said I want her to become popular? I'm telling you, tomorrow, by whatever excuse necessary, you must kick her out of the crew, and then declare publicly that it's because her acting is too poor, so she's being replaced."
"But Director Han, didn't you invest three hundred million in this drama?"
"Don't worry about that, if you can pull this off, I'll add another hundred million to this drama."
"Rest assured, Director Han, I guarantee I'll do as you say."
Mu Lingyun raised an eyebrow; this was a recording of Han Ming instructing Lai Yuan to sabotage her—this Check-in System really was like sending charcoal in a snowstorm.
Thinking this, she clicked on the second audio file.
That was the voice of Lai Yuan and Song Jiao.
"Director Lai, what do you need me for?"
"Song Jiao, there's something I want to cooperate with you on, something that's good for both you and me."
"Tomorrow, I'll arrange for you to act in the scene where the lead female gets slapped. Remember to hit her hard, best if you can make it so painful she's unable to manage her expression. I'll call for NG 10 times, letting you slap her 10 times, then I'll kick her out of the crew under the pretense of her poor acting. Once she's gone, won't you have a chance at the lead role?"
"Director Lai, aren't you afraid Han Shao will make trouble for you?"
"Ha! You're naive, if it wasn't Han Shao who asked me to do this, would I dare? Have I gone crazy enough to provoke capital of three hundred million and one of the four major families in Kyoto, the Han Family?"
"So it was arranged by Han Shao? Then naturally I can't refuse!"
