After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 58: Go along with the crowd? Or get out?

"We are all small businesses, how can we just let it go? Here, this is a hundred dollars! No need to give me the change!"

Dapeng was startled and turned around. It was Li Mingyang who had 'run away'. "Didn't you... leave?"

"Who said I was leaving? I was just going to buy a lighter."

Dapeng took a look at the lighter box placed in a prominent position at the front desk. It was full of free lighters. Was this a scam?!

"I'm the one treating you to dinner today, how can I let you treat me?"

Dapeng was suddenly delighted.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you are so kind, I will accept it and treat you to a delicious meal tomorrow."

Dapeng's face turned green immediately. My monthly salary is only 5,000 yuan!
"Director Li, don't go!" Dapeng wanted to go AA, or at least get a few packs of soft bets, but Li Mingyang ran very fast. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mingyang ran out of the restaurant, turned a corner, and disappeared.

He ran out of the door, it was dark, where was Li Mingyang?

The next day's shooting still did not go smoothly.

After work, Li Mingyang called Dapeng to go eat at a food stall.

Dapeng rubbed his eyes and thought to himself, "I treated myself to this and I'm eating this! How stingy!"

"Brother Dapeng, I ate too much at noon. Let's eat less today. Boss, just give me a plate of shredded potatoes with vinegar and a bowl of rice."

The boss looked at Li Mingyang and Dapeng with disdain and nodded silently.

Dapeng was embarrassed and said, "Director Li, how about we add two more dishes? I didn't eat much at noon."

"Look at your fat belly, it's almost bulging out. Lose some weight."

Dapeng looked down at his flat belly and thought, "I don't need to lose weight! I'm too thin!"
Soon, vinegar-fried shredded potatoes and a bowl of rice came up. Li Mingyang started eating without saying a word, as if he had never eaten before.

Dapeng made fun of Li Mingyang at first, but he couldn't laugh anymore after a while. Most of the shredded potatoes had been eaten, and there was only one dish tonight!
"Director Li, please eat slowly, don't choke."

As he spoke, Dapeng started eating quickly. After only two bites, Li Mingyang picked up the plate and put the vegetables into his own bowl. When the plate returned to the table, only a few pieces were left.

This...how can I eat this!

Dapeng hesitated whether to eat more. Li Mingyang wiped his mouth and said, "Brother Dapeng, I'm done. You eat slowly."

"Okay, okay." Dapeng stood up, put on a hypocritical smile and nodded.

After seeing Li Mingyang pay the bill with his own eyes, Dapeng sat back in his seat with peace of mind and glanced at the few shredded potatoes and half a bowl of rice on the plate.

"There is a long way to go, I must eat it back." As he said that, Dapeng picked up a piece of shredded potato and put it into his mouth with hatred.

On the third day, the filming did not go smoothly. After work, Li Mingyang asked Dapeng to go out for dinner again, and it was the same restaurant that made Dapeng bleed so much money.

"Director Li, how about we go somewhere else to eat tonight? That food stall is pretty good."

"Today I want to talk to you about celebrities. There are too many people there and I'm worried that it will have a bad influence."

Dapeng thought about it and followed him in.

Li Mingyang ordered eight dishes and a box of beer. The two of them ate and drank to their heart's content in the private room. They drank till they felt miserable and had a very pleasant chat.

Then when it came time to pay the bill, Li Mingyang didn't bring any money, so Dapeng had no choice but to pay.

"Brother Dapeng, let's split the bill this time. I'll return the money to you later."

Dapeng wanted to shirk responsibility, but Li Mingyang was even more shameless than him and might not return it. "Okay, boss, how much is it?"

"Boss, give me two soft medium ones."

Dapeng was shocked! Why do you want to buy cigarettes when we are just eating?

"Come here, Brother Dapeng, this one is for you."

Dapeng hesitated for a moment and took the soft middle one handed to him by Li Mingyang.

The filming was not going smoothly over the next few days. After work every day, Li Mingyang would go to the restaurant that sold soft drinks with Dapeng to have dinner.

Li Mingyang was reluctant at first, saying that they should go Dutch, but later he simply stopped talking about it and let Dapeng pay the bill every time. After each meal, Li Mingyang would take away a few Zhonghua cigarettes.

Sometimes there are three, sometimes there are two, but every time there is one for Dapeng. Dapeng is very sad! But Li Mingyang is shameless!

It was obvious that he was trying to cheat him and make him bleed. Almost all of his savings were taken away by Li Mingyang.

If I don’t go, I will offend Li Mingyang.

If Li Mingyang quits and Pure Love Men cannot continue filming, he cannot afford the responsibility.

Go ahead, don't waste your money.

He thought about asking the company for reimbursement, but it was very troublesome to get reimbursement from a large company, and it would take several months.

Moreover, Zhang Chaoyang is very sensitive about reimbursement, and this is the most important moment in his life.

He didn't want to arouse Zhang Chaoyang's suspicion by asking for meal reimbursement.

"Director Li, I think Dapeng can't hold on any longer." Wu Zhikui said gloatingly.

"I think he will find an excuse not to go tonight. You two should keep a close eye on him today and don't let him get away. Don't try to hide it and be honest."

Wu Zhikui and Qiao Shan smiled at each other and nodded heavily.

The three of them spoke so loudly that the entire crew could hear them.

Everyone's eyes turned to the producer Dapeng. Some were sympathetic, some were gloating, some were indifferent, some were calm, but no one was willing to help him.

Dapeng figured out that Li Mingyang had no way to deal with celebrities, so he took advantage of him and made fun of him.

After thinking for an entire afternoon, when it was almost time to wrap up, Dapeng took the initiative to find Li Mingyang and said, "Director Li, don't worry, I will make sure your filming goes on normally. Starting tomorrow, there will be no more celebrities messing around."

Li Mingyang nodded in satisfaction. "You're coming to your senses pretty quickly."

Dapeng smiled awkwardly.

"Let's go! Let's go to the old place to eat!"

“Still eating!”

"Don't you want to get your money back?" Li Mingyang laughed.

Dapeng felt uneasy when he saw Li Mingyang's smile, and suddenly realized why Li Mingyang always gave in.

Things like cigarettes and alcohol can be easily converted into cash!

"This is not good..."

Li Mingyang smiled slightly and took out three photos from his shirt pocket.

Dapeng took the photos trembling with fear, and when he looked at them, they turned out to be the photos that Li Mingyang handed to him in the software. There was a date on each photo... He smiled happily!
"Don't take me for a fool. Mr. Zhang sent you here to steal my skills. I hate people who say one thing to your face and another behind your back. Let's be frank! I can teach you, but you have to pay for it!"

Dapeng was stunned on the spot.

I didn't do anything and yet I was exposed. It hurts my self-esteem so much!

No, I lost a lot of money!

This Li Mingyang is such a scumbag, he actually used my own money to cheat me.

"How much do you want? I'll tell Mr. Zhang."

"He won't give it to me... There are two accountants in the crew, let's start with the accountant!" Li Mingyang patted Dapeng on the shoulder, "Should we go along with him? Or should we get out?"

"I always listen to Director Li."

"Very good. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. The water in the entertainment industry is muddy. Brother Dapeng, congratulations, you have entered the circle."

Dapeng was cursing in his heart and had a flattering smile on his face.

At this point, he has no choice at all!

This guy is so mean and bad!
