Breakup at the Start: A Song That Makes Him a Legend, and the School Beauty Pursues Him

Tears streamed down her flawless face, and she curled up even tighter.

A deep sense of regret welled up within her, causing her immense pain.

She has been living in agony these past few days. Besides the abuse from netizens, what's more important is that Qin Shou has gone further and higher, which has made her feel even more inferior and distant.

"It's my fault for giving you this idea. It's okay, we'll let our work speak for itself. And there's Director Ning, who likes you so much that he even wants to take you in as his goddaughter. He's a director who values ​​movies a lot, and no one can replace him. He won't replace you because of such a small dissenting opinion." Director Xu comforted Xia Wan Ning as if possessed.

It was less about comforting Xia Wan Ning and more about comforting himself.

After all, this was their last lifeline.

A glimmer of hope flickered in Xia Wanning's eyes: "Yes, I still have hope!"

The next second, Director Xu's phone rang; it was the film producer calling.

Director Xu answered immediately: "Feed?"

"Director Xu, let's cancel the cooperation here." The producer's cold tone made Director Xu's heart skip a beat.

Director Xu laughed awkwardly: "What are you talking about? Cancel the cooperation? Why! Didn't we agree to choose Wan Ning? You even said Wan Ning was a perfect fit."

"Xia Wanning is suitable, but there are more suitable ones. She is just a substitute. Now that Jiang Xueli is willing to take the role, why should we still use her?" the producer responded coldly.

Director Xu was instantly shocked: "What! Jiang Xueli agreed to act in it?"

Upon hearing this news, Xia Wan Ning's face turned deathly pale.

"Yes, that's right. It's a timely loss. After all, your family damaged the reputation of our film. How much money and how many appearances will it take to make up for it now! Most importantly, you should never have offended our investors!" the producer said angrily.

"Investors? Is that Zhou Lele Jewelry? We haven't offended them!" Director Xu said anxiously.

"Zhou Lele is our jewelry sponsor and the biggest investor. If he withdraws his investment, it's like our funding chain is cut off, and we'll be in a tight spot for filming! You still say you haven't offended his family? Do you even know who Qin Shou is?!" the producer scolded.

"He's just an ordinary artist, how could he possibly become a source of capital?" Director Xu didn't take Qin Shou seriously at all.

In other words, Qin Shou, whom Director Xu scoffed at, was instantly elevated by the producer.

"He can't be capital yet? Listen to what you're saying, he is capital!" the producer spat.

"Are you kidding me? Although he's somewhat famous now, he doesn't have that much status!" Director Xu was completely dumbfounded.

"He's one of Zhou Lele Jewelry's shareholders and a jewelry supplier! Not only that, he's also a shareholder of PXX, owning 5% of the shares! Not to mention he's the godson of the president of X Dragon Group, a friend of Jiang Muye, the president of Jiang's Group, and Xu Lai's desired protégé. How dare you mess with him? Do you really not want to stay in this industry?!"

Director Xu gasped upon hearing this.

With so many prefixes, any one of them could be overwhelming.

All of this was backed by capital, and the reason why capital supported Qin Shou was that Qin Shou himself was capital.

"How could that be? Then why would he need to be in the entertainment industry... My God, he's so rich! He's really hiding his true wealth. No wonder he looked down on the demands I made and didn't accept Xu Lai!" Director Xu swallowed hard.

She is very nervous right now.

If it's just offending a minor celebrity, it's no big deal. At worst, you can use your connections to get them blacklisted.

However, offending a powerful entity, especially one with such influence, is tantamount to completely blocking one's own path.

Now, Director Xu is feeling a sense of lingering fear.

She begged the producer to show leniency, but the producer said expressionlessly, "Now that you've dragged me into this mess, I can barely protect myself. Helping you? You'd better think about how you're going to survive after this!"

The producer was right; Director Xu is indeed in a tough spot.

People in the industry watched the spectacle with disdain, and even posted veiled criticisms about her on social media.

When she arrived at the company, she found that some of her subordinates were tidying up her office.

"What are you doing! This is very expensive, put the vase down, and don't touch my Hermes bag! Are you tired of living? Where are you going to take it?!"

Seeing all his precious belongings packed into cardboard boxes infuriated Director Xu.

The subordinate stared blankly at Director Xu: "Then you'll clean it yourself? We're actually saving ourselves some effort!"

"I'm your boss! What are you doing? Are you planning to fire you all?!" Director Xu roared fiercely.

Then a cold, sneer rang out: "Tsk, making such a scene here, you're the one who wants to get fired, aren't you?"

The familiar voice sent a shiver down Director Xu's spine.

Director Xu turned around abruptly.

She suddenly saw her assistant, dressed in a fashionable office lady outfit, looking very trendy. Compared to her previous timid and submissive demeanor, the assistant was now glaring at her impatiently with her arms crossed.

"Xiao Ou, are you playing a role-playing game? Are you going to fire me? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard!" Director Xu found it extremely ridiculous.

Xiao Ou burst out laughing.

Her eyes were filled with mockery towards Director Xu, and she even looked down at him condescendingly: "Now I'm your boss, and you're my assistant! Whether you're playing role-playing or not, go ask HR!"

The other subordinates also burst into laughter.

Director Xu's face was extremely ugly; she had never been so humiliated before.

She was so angry that she went to HR, only to be told that there really had been a personnel change, and she had been demoted from the position of director to assistant director.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ou, the errand assistant she had been using, had risen to become her boss and replaced her as the brokerage director.

Director Xu was taken aback by this sudden news.

She never expected such a turn of events to happen; it was truly cruel.

"I'm not kidding, no, it can't be true." Director Xu bit her finger; she simply refused to accept the reality before her.

She rushed to the CEO's office, ignoring the secretary's attempts to stop her, and forced her way in: "Cousin! Do you know how outrageous those people outside are? They actually want me to be their assistant, and my assistant to be a director! Isn't this going to throw the company into chaos?!"

As Director Xu awkwardly complained, he saw the president's ashen face.

"Xu Rui, there are no relatives in the company, only superiors and subordinates. You are not qualified to come directly to my office now."

Director Xu exclaimed incredulously, "Cousin, what did I do wrong that you're punishing me like this, letting them bully me like this?"
