Feeling the chilling murderous aura emanating from Zhao Kun, Jingshulan immediately felt a piercing pain in her heart. She paled in shock and quickly kowtowed to Yang Mi, begging for mercy, "Sister Yang Mi, I was wrong."
"I beg you, as a person of great magnanimity, please spare me."
Zhao Kun's gaze and murderous intent were too terrifying. She was on the verge of breaking down in fear, afraid that Zhao Kun would really kill her.
"Sister Yang Mi, I implore you to spare me too," Director Zhang pleaded anxiously.
Both of them were frightened out of their wits, kneeling on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing.
This scene left everyone on the set dumbfounded.
Yang Mi's mouth hung open, unable to speak for a while.
"Miss Yang," Zhao Kun repeated.
Only then did Yang Mi snap out of it, looking at the two individuals kowtowing and begging for mercy, feeling a bit strange in her heart.
As if releasing a breath of pent-up frustration, she felt satisfied!
However, in the midst of her satisfaction, she wondered if she had gone too far in her cruelty.
"Miss Yang, you don't need to bear any psychological burden. Do whatever you want, and we'll support you," Qin Feng said.
"That's right, even if you want to throw them into the sea to feed the fish, I can do it," Zhao Kun added.
Upon hearing this, Jingshulan and Director Zhang were startled once again, hurriedly begging for mercy.
Especially Jingshulan, after realizing the enmity between Zhao Kun and Cui Hong, she was terrified to the core. She desperately kowtowed, causing her head to bleed.
With Wang Chao in front and now Zhao Kun and Qin Feng backing her, Yang Mi had come to understand that she was no match for them!
In order to stay alive, she could only do this.
Yang Mi looked at Jingshulan's pitiful appearance, feeling a sense of satisfaction as well as a twinge of reluctance and sympathy. After a moment's thought, she finally said, "Alright, I forgive you."
"But Jingshulan, it's best if you never appear before me again."
"Thank you, I promise to avoid you in the future whenever I see you."
Upon hearing this, Jingshulan felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She stood up and hurriedly left, like a lost dog.
"Miss Yang, I..." Director Zhang also raised his head, looking at Yang Mi with great anticipation.
Yang Mi gave him a cold glance. "Director Zhang, weren't you planning to blackball me?"
"I, I wouldn't dare, Miss Yang. I was just joking," Director Zhang hurriedly replied.
"Joking? Director Zhang, you've been using this incident to pressure me all these days," Yang Mi said.
Thinking about this matter, Yang Mi was filled with anger.
First, her leading actress was replaced, and she had to settle for playing a supporting role. On top of that, Director Zhang had been constantly using the threat of blacklisting to intimidate her, either shouting at her or telling her to get out of the production.
And as for Jingshulan, he was excessively flattering and currying favor with her.
She had endured so much injustice during this period!
Although Jingshulan was the main culprit in this incident, Director Zhang was also one of the culprits.
Director Zhang's expression became extremely ugly upon hearing Yang Mi's words.
By saying that, Yang Mi wanted to settle old scores!
He quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Miss Yang, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai. I truly apologize, and I promise I won't dare to do it again."
Seeing him like this, Yang Mi felt a hint of reluctance.
"Director Zhang, it seems like you've been bullying our big brother's woman a lot."
Qin Feng's gaze turned icy, and he said in a deep voice, "Apologizing now, what's the use? Once you've bullied someone, it's already done. Our Sister Yang Mi is kind-hearted and won't hold it against you. However, don't think that you can brush it off just like that."
"Slap in the face, one hundred times!" Zhao Kun said coldly.
Slap in the face?
Director Zhang's expression changed.
Clang!
Zhao Kun pulled out a shiny dagger.
Director Zhang's expression immediately changed, and he began slapping himself on both cheeks, making them red and swollen with pain.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9." Qin Feng started counting.
Director Zhang's face turned green.
Damn it!
He had thought he could get away with a few casual slaps.
He didn't expect Qin Feng to keep counting. How could he brush it off now?
In order to stay alive, he had no choice but to forcefully slap his own face.
After receiving a hundred slaps, Director Zhang's cheeks were swollen like pig's heads, throbbing with pain and heat.
Having slapped himself, tears streamed down his face from the pain. He looked up at Yang Mi with fear and sincerity, wanting to plead for mercy, but the intense pain made it impossible for him to speak.
Zhao Kun made a move, and the dagger sliced through a stone in the crew, shattering it into pieces. He then looked down coldly at Director Zhang from above and said, "From now on, our Zhao family will invest in this production. Remember, Miss Yang must be the lead actress."
"And remember this. If you dare to disrespect Miss Yang again, your fate will be like this stone."
"Do you understand?"
Director Zhang looked at the shattered stone and then at Zhao Kun, his eyes filled with even greater fear. He quickly nodded, indicating his understanding.
"Get lost!"
Zhao Kun retrieved the dagger and kicked Director Zhang far away.
Then, he turned to Yang Mi and handed her his business card, saying, "Miss Yang, my name is Zhao Kun. If you encounter any trouble in Canton City, come to me first, and I will help you resolve it."
The Zhao family had already decided to collaborate with Wang Chao, and since Yang Mi was Wang Chao's friend, she was their friend as well.
On the Zhao family's territory, he had to protect Yang Mi.
"Miss Yang, here's my business card. For minor matters, you can come to me first, without bothering Brother Zhao. If I can't handle it, we can contact Brother Zhao." Qin Feng also handed his business card to Yang Mi, blowing his own trumpet.
After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other, then left, leaving Yang Mi standing there in a daze.
She looked at the two business cards in her hand, then at the departing Zhao Kun and Qin Feng, completely bewildered.
What was going on?
She didn't even know these two people, so why were they standing up for her?
She was confused and couldn't make sense of it.
"Miss Yang, please have a seat."
"Miss Yang, let me hold an umbrella for you."
"Miss Yang, I have offended you in the past, and it was all my fault. I'm not a decent person. I won't dare to do it again. Can you forgive me?"
"Miss Yang..."
After Zhao Kun and Qin Feng left, many crew members rushed over, continuously serving Yang Mi, holding umbrellas, handing out tissues, and wiping sweat.
Some of the crew members who had previously bullied Yang Mi were also quick to slap themselves and beg for her forgiveness. They knew that with Zhao Kun and Qin Feng backing her, Yang Mi would definitely become the lead actress and receive special treatment on the set.
Therefore, they all rushed over and had a complete change in attitude.
"Alright, I won't hold it against you. Just stay away from me, I need some peace and quiet," Yang Mi uttered in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, those people immediately breathed a sigh of reprieve and hurriedly ran away.
Yang Mi sat on the chair they had brought over, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Yang Mi, you are amazing!"
At that moment, her assistant ran over from a distance, looking at her with a shocked expression. "When you uttered you were going to fire the director earlier, I was so surprised. I did not know you knew such influential people."
"You scared me. Why did not you say it earlier?"
Yang Mi put away the two business cards and had a strange expression. "I do not know them."
"Yang Mi, do not joke around. If you did not know them, would they have stood up for you?"
The assistant's eyes were filled with admiration as she continued, "Besides, even if you do not know them personally, they must be friends of your friends to help you like this."
That statement woke Yang Mi up from her thoughts.
Her eyes lit up immediately, and she thought to herself, "Could it be that Wang Chao is helping me?"
