When Ning Ran entered the meeting room, she saw a huge group of people she didn’t recognize.

However, all of them knew her or at least saw her picture before. They were aware that she was the female lead for the new movie.

There were a lot of investors for the movie, but only five or six of them came. Even then, they were just representatives and not the bosses themselves.

Hence, the person with the most authority in the room was Ouyang Qing. She was the one who organized the meeting under such short notice.

When she saw Ning Ran, Ouyang Qing stood up immediately. “Ding, nice of you to join us.”

Meanwhile, the rest of the representatives exchanged surprised glances as they wondered why Ouyang Qing was treating the perpetrator with such respect. What is her motive?

Ning Ran nodded in acknowledgment and took a seat by the corner.

“Alright, everyone’s here, so let’s begin the meeting. As all of you know, we have unfortunate news. The script which the screenwriters painstakingly came up with over the last three months was leaked. We have no choice but to suspend filming for the time being. Without a script, we won’t know when we can resume.”

Ouyang Qing spoke with a grim expression and even scanned the room when she finished.

“We must get to the bottom of this, and our losses must be compensated!” one of the representatives demanded.

“That’s right! Whoever leaked it must take responsibility.”

“Once the script was out, the screenwriters informed me and asked me to take a look. Since I haven’t done this before, I wanted someone professional to assist me. Hence, I decided to give Ding Mi a copy so that we could discuss it. As she is an experienced actress, she would definitely know more than me. Furthermore, she is the lead, and consequently, her opinion is more important than mine. However, something came up, so I couldn’t hand it to her myself. I sent my brother in my place. However, I didn’t expect that once she had read the script, it would then appear on the internet,” Ouyang Qing asserted.

Ning Ran sprang to her feet in anger. But when Wang Xiaoou motioned her to calm down, she settled back into her chair.

“Are you saying Ding Mi leaked the script?”

“Currently, there is no evidence to prove it, so I hope all of you will stay calm,” Ouyang Qing implored.

“The screenwriters would definitely not expose their own work. If it wasn’t her, then who could it possibly be?”
