The implication was that there was no room for refusal.
Dong Xin Yan knew that saying more would be useless and might annoy him, so she could only keep her mouth shut, maintain a smiling face, and obediently reply, "Okay, I understand. I won’t be late."
Gu Ningyi curved his lips slightly and unlocked the door.
Dong Xin Yan kept a smile as she got out of the car, kept smiling as she watched Gu Ningyi’s car drive away, and the instant it disappeared from her view, her smile fell.
What on earth had she done wrong to et this demon?
"Sister Xin, you’re finally here...."
A familiar voice ca from behind. Dong Xin Yan turned around and saw Wenwen running towards her anxiously.
Dong Xin Yan quickly adjusted her mood. Right now, what mattered was not this demon, but the director.
"Wenwen, what’s the situation now?"
Wenwen shook her head dejectedly, her expression very serious, "The director has already said he’s cutting all your scenes and kicking you out... Sister Xin, what should we do now?"
Dong Xin Yan knew the director was furious, and the outco wouldn’t be good, but she didn’t expect it to be the worst-case scenario.
But she absolutely couldn’t lose this role; she had to try to salvage it, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance.
Even though Dong Xin Yan wasn’t confident, seeing Wenwen’s disheartened expression, she still offered consolation, "Wenwen, don’t worry. I’ll go talk to the director and plead with him. It should be fine."

The filming set was buzzing with today’s shoot, and at such a ti, Dong Xin Yan dared not disturb the director, so she waited on the side.
Only when the director called for a cut and announced a thirty-minute break, Dong Xin Yan quickly tidied her hair, holding a cup of coffee, and walked toward the director.
Standing in front of the director, Dong Xin Yan curved her lips into a smile, and with a pretty face squeezed into a smile, she spoke softly, "Director Li, have a cup of coffee."
Director Li was watching the footage from the recent shoot and didn’t spare her a glance, as if she were invisible.
Dong Xin Yan’s hand tightened slightly on the cup, her smile unwavering, she continued in a soft voice, "Director Li, I’m sorry, yesterday was really my fault. I shouldn’t have left without permission. I’m truly very sorry. But I really like this role and want to be in your movie. Could you give another chance? I promise I won’t disappoint you again."
As Dong Xin Yan spoke, she bowed deeply to the director.
This ti, Director Li did lift his eyes but only to let out a cold laugh, "Sorry? Is a re apology sothing great? Dong Xin Yan, who do you think you are? A top-tier celebrity? Just a third-rate little star, and you dare to act high and mighty here!"
"Don’t think a bit of acting skill makes you special. There are plenty who outdo you. With such an improper attitude, I’ve worked with nurous top-tier stars, none have dared to keep waiting. But you, making the whole crew wait for a third-rate little star, do you even want to stay in this business? If you don’t, then leave already!"
Director Li was famous in the industry for being blunt and ruthless. At this mont, he berated Dong Xin Yan in front of the whole crew, leaving her face pale and unable to utter a single word, forced to endure it all.
It was her fault after all, and being scolded was deserved, as long as she could avoid being kicked out of the project.
"I’m sorry, Director, truly sorry," Dong Xin Yan said in a low voice, continuously bowing to him.
