“Go ahead and speak your mind,” Nan Chen said casually with his head still hanging low.

“Okay, I shall get to the point and tell you what I think. However, it's solely up to you whether you want to listen.”

“You don't have to state the obvious. Spill!”

Ning Ran bit her lips and said, “According to the latest script, the conflict will subside. With that, Huang Zichao's scenes will be significantly reduced to almost nothing left.”

Bang!

Enraged, Nan Chen slammed the table. “So, you're unhappy that his parts are cut?”

“It doesn't affect me. Conversely, it will put you in an unfavorable position.”

Ning Ran knew that her words would upset him, but she did not expect him to hit the ceiling right away.

She had been putting up with him the entire time in order not to step on his toes. Alas, she still failed to avoid a terrible confrontation.

“Unfavorable to me? How so?”

“First, the storyline will be a bore, which in turn will cause the box office to plunge. Second, Huang Zichao is a renowned actor. This is his first movie made in his homeland after venturing into Hollywood. Tons and tons of people are looking forward to watching the show, and I'm sure this is why you guys have hired him in the first place. If you cut his parts now, you will lose the target audience!”

She continued, “Additionally, his worldwide fans will surely boycott this movie, thinking that he has been unfairly treated. You know how it works in the show biz. The fans will persuade their families and friends to do the same. As a result, you will suffer great losses.”

“I already said that the box office is not your problem, so mind your own business,” Nan Chen refuted.

Regardless, Ning Ran continued to push his buttons.

“Though you can't be bothered if the investment had zero return, it's still your project. You are the reason why so many investors dumped their money into this. They believe in you and your ability to generate lucrative profits for them. It's such a golden opportunity. I am clueless as to why you want to ruin it like that. How will others see you? What's the point of investing in this project when you're adamant that you should revise the script and turn a worthy piece into worthless trash? Is it just for fun? Is this all a game to you?”

Bang!
