CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 218 FIRST ENCOUNTER

"Can we not move again? The spaces at the Film and Television City are limited, we’ve already moved twice, and if we move again, there really won’t be any places left."

Shu Wan spoke while her eyes were fixated on Li Ya.

Shu Wan was taller than Li Ya, but faced with Shu Wan’s pitiful gaze, Li Ya felt as if Shu Wan was shrinking before her, so small that she could only grovel at her feet, pitifully begging for her charity.

This gaze magnified the sense of pride and arrogance in Li Ya’s heart. She raised her red lips and smiled at Shu Wan, "There’s still a pretty big empty space on the west side of the Film and Television City. If you can’t, just go and shoot there."

As she finished speaking, before Shu Wan could react, other people became excited, "The west side is the garbage recycling station, what do you mean?"

"The meaning of the garbage recycling station." Li Ya’s follower said proudly, waving hands at the crowd, "Can’t you read?"

"You are going too far!!"

"It’s just survival of the fittest." Li Ya glanced indifferently at the crowd and then looked at Shu Wan, "Don’t think you’re something special just because you have a charming face. Don’t take yourself too seriously."

"I don’t care if you target me," Shu Wan said, her voice choking up, "but there are so many staff members in our crew who need to provide for their families."

"That’s none of my business," Li Ya scoffed, "That’s the price they pay for not being insightful and not finding a good master."

"Exactly, serves them right."

"Enough, it’s just bad luck to look at, let’s go."

Pleased to see Shu Wan’s pathetic state, Li Ya was quite satisfied and too lazy to waste any more words. She quickly left with her followers.

Now, people gathered around to comfort Shu Wan, "It’s alright, if it comes to it, we can change locations. Don’t be sad."

Everyone had seen how Shu Wan appeared and thought that she must be really distressed from being bullied.

Although everyone knew that Shu Wan’s family also had money, it was nothing compared to the Zeng Family.

"There’s nothing to be sad about."

Shu Wan turned around, and to everyone’s surprise, her face showed no sign of sadness; instead, she was very calm, as if, as always, no matter what happened, it wouldn’t affect her.

Someone quietly asked Wang Tian, "What’s going on? Is Shu Wan just pretending to be strong? She doesn’t look very sad, but just now she sounded like she was about to cry."

"Don’t worry, when she’s like this, someone is going to have a bad time."

Although Wang Tian didn’t know what Shu Wan was up to, having spent so much time with her, if he couldn’t tell that Shu Wan was setting a trap for Li Ya, then he might as well just find a block of tofu to crash into.

Though Wang Tian had full confidence in Shu Wan, others were still gloomy as the influence of the Second Young Master of Zeng Family in the film industry was too strong.

Seeing everyone so downhearted, Shu Wan spoke up, "I’ve already found a pretty good filming location these past few days, we can go there."

"Really? If we have a location, that would make things a lot easier."

Liu Qing had been thinking of contacting another small Film and Television City on the east side, but now that Shu Wan said they had a location, she was more than happy to relax.

"Yes, I’ll post the address in the group later, we can go directly there."

"Okay."

As everyone left, Shu Wan waved to Wang Tian, "I sent you a video on WeChat, you find a marketing account to post it later."

Wang Tian wasn’t dull, and quickly guessed what the video Shu Wan sent was about, "Posting this won’t get the location back, Mr. Zeng doesn’t care about this."

"Who said I want to get the location back?"

Shu Wan had never intended to take back the location in the first place. It’s too much trouble and even if she could, it was already ruined, there was no point.

"Then why are you doing this?"

"To ride the wave of popularity," Shu Wan smiled at Wang Tian, "Can’t get the location back, so let’s just stir up the movie’s popularity, it’s worth it."

Shu Wan and Li Ya already had grievances, and adding on that netizens love to see excitement, riding a wave of popularity while annoying Li Ya was killing two birds with one stone.

"Ah??"

Now Wang Tian really couldn’t understand; after all, Shu Wan always appeared indifferent to fame and disdainful of riding trending waves.

So when Shu Wan pulled this move, he was totally bewildered.

"Why not take advantage if it’s served on a platter?"

Shu Wan herself was taught the most orthodox Confucian education, valuing propriety and reputation.

But schools are very different from reality, having fought in the court and on battlefields for so many years, if Shu Wan always acted like a clear stream with a good reputation, she probably would have died eight hundred times over.
