As one of the most beloved idols in town, Shi Jie had achieved a level of fame and adoration that most people could only dream of.

Everywhere he went, he was surrounded by a sea of screaming fans, all vying for a chance to get a glimpse of their favorite celebrity. There was no way he was willing to endure the humiliation caused by Xie Dazui.

Before the encounter, Shi Jie had mentally prepared himself for the criticisms from the man with a terrible reputation. His nastiness, however, exceeded Shi Jie's expectations.

It was a norm in the industry for the hottest idols to branch out to acting. Given their subpar acting skills and lack of time or patience to memorize the script, many were not to deliver their lines during the actual filming. The production team would be responsible for adding the voice-over narration during post-editing.

In reality, it did not matter if the idols were talented actors. All they needed was good looks to attract a large and loyal following. As a result, the investors would be able to profit handsomely from the project's huge success.

Shi Jie's ascent to stardom was a relatively effortless journey marked by steady progress and consistent success. All of the acting ventures in which he had participated received favorable ratings and viewership, and the filming process had gone relatively smoothly.

Little did he expect that the filming of a music video would cause him so much agony.

Shi Jie refused to continue acting because he could no longer stand the lashings from Xie Dazui.

The site was filled with an awkward silence.

“What do you mean you quit? Are you giving up on the filming?” Xie Dazui hissed, undeterred by the man's anger.

Having worked with many idols in the past, the man was unfazed by Shi Jie's threats. He knew that such behavior was common in the world of entertainment.

“You're deliberately making things difficult. You're not happy no matter how I act. What exactly do you want?” Shi Jie bellowed.
