"No, it wasn't stolen when it's not even mine to begin with." Ran Xueyi stopped before he could form any other thoughts. She hadn't lied when she said it wasn't stolen since it was only discussed amongst them and not officially announced or listed in the cast list.
Still, Ran Xueyi was a bit disappointed to hear that someone had taken a role that she had taken a liking to.
"Director Fan almost sounded as if she wanted to pick you as the first lead in her film when you two talked. She even had that obsessed look in their eyes, she even cried in front of us when you talked about the script! How could she say she found another actress who will play the role?" Adelle couldn't hold back from saying this. "She should have informed us first!"
Ran Xueyi also thought that Director Fan should have told them that she wanted another actress to play the role in her film. Then, Ran Xueyi wouldn't have to reject and turn away scripts that were handed out to her before?
Just thinking of the time wasted on Director Fan and her film, Adelle couldn't help but fume. But as she was about to explode from anger, a pair of big hands suddenly settled on her shoulders and startled her.
"Calm down first. Let's discuss this without getting angry at people who didn't see madam's worth. You're going to mess up your makeup." Guo Yun pacifyingly patted her shoulders. He then turned his head to look at Ran Xueyi and said, "If I may guess, this Director Fan you're talking about is the chief director at Moonlight Entertainment, right?"
Ran Xueyi was not surprised that he found exactly who they were talking about.
She slowly nodded, "Yes. We went to her office when Director Xiao insisted that I meet with her and talk with her about the film she's planning to shoot."
Song Yu Han also remembered that day when he called Ran Xueyi to his office and frowned. "Director Fan was accepted in my company several years ago because of her good and proper conduct of not taking any underhanded means. I remembered that President Liu recommended her to me for a promotion two years ago. Is she the one you two are talking about?"
"Yes, boss." Guo Yun affirmed this knowing that Song Yu Han had only briefly met Director Fan Ning.
At that time, President Liu introduced her to him, but Song Yu Han only looked at his watch and passed them by before leaving. He didn't even glance their way as he let President Liu handle it since the report was already handed to him.
"Then, what are you waiting for?" Song Yu Han suddenly raised his eyebrow at him.
"Huh?"
"I'm asking what are you waiting for?
Song Yu Han added coldly with a smile.
"R-right! I should call the office immediately!"
The special assistant quickly rose to his feet and pulled his phone out of his pockets with trembling hands. Maybe because the days had been quite peaceful and his boss was becoming more like a sunflower, he had forgotten that his Big Boss was not a man who should be trifled with.
What's wrong with these people in Moonlight Entertainment? Can't they do their jobs and see who they just stole a role from? Are they tired of living? Even if Moonlight Entertainment was just another daughter company of YH Group and barely received the Big Boss's attention, aren't they supposed to do their greatest not to receive his fury?
Guo Yun cursed inwardly as his expression hardened. He looked like someone who anyone shouldn't even bump against without being stabbed with a knife. At this moment, the amiable appearance that makes people approach Guo Yun without any fear slowly cracked a bit.
"It's alright. I already said it doesn't matter." Ran Xueyi tried to stop them. However, Song Yu Han wasn't listening.
His expression was extremely cold and a dangerous aura was seeping out of his body, making the scorching sun in the sky desire a blanket to cover itself due to the sudden change of temperature.
"It's not alright. I never allow any of my employees to break their words to anyone. Besides, knowing that you looked forward to shoot this film, I simply can't ignore it." It would have been alright if it was just a film that Ran Xueyi picked in passing, but the fact that she liked the script so much that she refused to sleep so she could only finish it, Song Yu Han wouldn't allow anyone to waste her time and effort by letting them trample on it without even as much an apology.
Ran Xueyi sighed and grabbed his hands, pulling him down to sit next to her. "It's fine, really. This type of thing isn't the first time. And although I really like the storyline of the script, I don't want to take the role anymore after knowing that someone else will play it."
"But I want to at least make them pay for what they did." Song Yu Han still didn't want to let this matter go.
Just in time, Little Zhanzhan finished playing under the sun and saw everyone sitting under a huge umbrella. He ran towards them before lying on his back and placing his head on his mother's lap, blinking his eyes.
"What are you all talking about? Zhanzhan alsho wants to join!"
Ran Xueyi said, "It's nothing, baby. We're talking about–"
"Somebody's bullying mommy, Zhanzhan."
However, before Ran Xueyi could finish her sentence, Song Yu Han slyly interjected.
"You..." Ran Xueyi was speechless.
"Bully?" Suddenly, Little Zhanzhan's face contorted into a similar expression as his father, a cub suddenly turning into a lion. "Who bullied mommy?
"It's daddy's employee. I want to punish them, but your mommy doesn't want to. Zhanzhan, what should daddy do?"
He... how could he involve their son right now? Is he planning to use Little Zhanzhan so she could agree to his suggestion of making them pay for what they did to her? Ran Xueyi stared in surprise and shock at Song Yu Han's cunningness.
And before she could even say anything, a tiny voice that sounded cold for some reason was heard.
"Oh? Then, shouldn't they be punished?"
A smile appeared on those small lips: "Right, mommy?"
