Chapter 124: 1,000,000 Yuan Compensation
Feng Mian looked at everyone’s doubtful gazes and subconsciously took a step back. Her eyes were filled with sadness.
Although she was just a newbie actress, she usually treated everyone as if they were her friends. At this moment, they were actually unwilling to speak up for her.
Fortunately, Jiang Li was willing to trust Feng Mian unconditionally. She knew Feng Mian’s character and would definitely not do such a thing.
Jiang Li looked at Ning Wan and unconsciously narrowed her eyes.
She opened her mouth to explain for Feng Mian, “What you saw should be her coming to me to discuss the script.”
Since Jiang Li had already opened her mouth to explain, she naturally cleared Feng Mian’s suspicion.
However, at this time, Ning Wan refused to let go.
“Impossible! Besides, who knows if she will go in again later?”
“Director Jiang, I didn’t say the exact time. I can’t even remember the exact time. How can you be so biased?”
Jiang Li was biased?
So what if she was biased?
That was because this person was worthy of her bias.
Jiang Li was too lazy to continue explaining, so he simply switched on the surveillance cameras.
“Since there’s no conclusive conclusion on this matter, let’s take a look at the surveillance cameras.”
“Surveillance cameras?” Ning wan frowned unconsciously.
‘How could there be such a thing as surveillance cameras?’
Ning Wan had walked up and down the corridor for a long time, but she had never found any surveillance cameras.
Nonetheless, the one who was guilty would know it themselves.
Just like the current Ning Wan, a single surveillance camera was enough to make her panic.
Jiang Li looked at Ning Wan and said coldly, “Yes, don’t you know? In order to ensure the safety of the production team, I have already installed pinhole cameras near the restroom and all important occasions.”
“We’ll know who did it very soon.”
After Jiang Li said that, the director personally watched the security guards and pulled out the surveillance cameras.
The surveillance results shocked everyone.
Feng Mian did not appear near the lounge at all. Just as she said, she had been thinking about her role near the studio.
The one who had really appeared near the break room was Ning Wan’s assistant.
Everyone present was smart and understood what this meant. In addition, Ning Wan had really targeted Feng Mian too much just now, so everyone’s gaze towards Ning Wan had already changed.
“Explain, why did you enter my break room?”
“I, I was indeed the one who tore up the script. It was because I felt that our artist was clearly more outstanding, so why wasn’t she worth a few more scenes?”
Just as the assistant finished speaking, a loud slap landed on her face.
Ning Wan was so angry that her face was almost crooked. If she admitted it now, it would be the same as telling everyone that she was the one who instigated this matter.
Ning Wan was so angry when she saw her assistant. She could not vent her anger, so she could only frantically try to make things right.
“Even if you’re nice to me, don’t you know that you’re considered as scheming against me since you did this?”
“From now on, what do you want everyone to think of me? Do you want everyone to think that I’m someone who will do anything for extra scenes?”
The assistant was stunned by the slap. Most of the other members of the production team were just watching the show.
Only Jiang Li looked at the assistant coldly. “If that’s the case, then you shouldn’t stay in the crew from now on. By the way, you ruined the script and delayed the entire filming process. I’ll use legal means to make you pay for it.”
“The site fees, labor costs, equipment damage, and so on. If you find a professional to calculate the cost, it’s not a small amount of money.”
“I know that your work is not easy, so I only want one million yuan.”
The assistant’s eyes widened when she heard that. She knelt on the ground with a plop and grabbed Jiang Li’s ankle, pleading bitterly.
“I can’t, Director Jiang. My monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan. Sometimes, it will be deducted a lot. I may have to save this one million until the next life, the next life.”
“Can you let me go? Or let me stay on the set and do odd jobs without paying me, is that okay?”
Jiang Li took a step back and looked at the assistant kneeling on the ground. Her voice became even colder.
“What makes you think that I will leave a dirty person on the set and wait for you to tear up the script next time, delaying it for another day?”
“Or you can tell me the truth now. The truth that everyone has already guessed, then I’ll let you go.”
Jiang Li’s words were directed at his assistant, but her eyes were fixed on Ning Wan.
“No, what I’m saying is the truth. I tore it up. It’s just that I don’t like Feng Mian.”
“Very good, then there’s no way to negotiate. One million yuan in compensation. Gather it as soon as possible. You can leave now.”
