158 CANNOT AFFORD TO OFFEND


    Ling Feng''s manager was still trying to persuade him into going to the shoot. At this moment in time,


    Ling Feng had finally finished his workout. Beads of sweat slid down his bronze-colored skin.


    Looking at his testosterone-fueled body paired with his tough and handsome looks, it was clear to


    see how he managed to get famous so quickly.


    However, his personality...


    His manager didn''t know what else to say. Although he was also angered by Tangning, he didn''t feel


    it was necessary to dy one''s work for the sake of punishing another. However, this was the type


    of person Ling Feng was.


    "Let''s go then, let''s go to the shoot," Ling Feng acted like he was being extremely generous as he


    wiped off his sweat.


    "Great, I''ll go get the car. You can get changed on the way," his manager felt a sense of relief as he


    quickly went to retrieve his car from the parking lot. Ling Feng looked exhausted the entire way.


    Even when they reached the resort, he did not appear like he would recover his energy anytime


    soon. This made his manager a bit worried.


    "Your fans are all awaiting the highlights from this shoot. Have a quick nap so you can show your


    most perfect self to the cameras."


    "In the whole of Beijing, how many others are as handsome as I am?" Ling Feng scoffed before


    crossing his arms and closing his eyes for a rest.


    Presumably, he seemed to think his appearance was a gift sent from the heavens to save the film


    crew.


    Not long after, their car turned into the resort. However, they were surprised to find the crew were


    already packing up. The manager thought it was because Ling Feng couldn''t make an appearance


    that the director had no choice but to postpone the shoot. So, he looked around for LM''s


    representative. He ended up making a phone call to the representative, who at this time, had


    already reported back at the office. The representative told him LM would directly contact Ling


    Feng''s agency for a chat.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Ling Feng''s manager ced one hand on his hip and tried to exin over the phone, "Ling Feng


    was indeed unwell, yet he still came all the way here. Didn''t he make it here in the end?"


    However, the man was no longer in the mood to talk to him, so he directly hung up the phone.


    The manager helplessly grabbed onto a staff who was packing up, "Where is the representative


    from LM? Our Ling Feng has arrived..."


    The staff peeked at Ling Feng sitting inside the car and replied, "Themercial has already


    finished shooting." After hearing the staff''s reply, Ling Feng''s manager was surprised as he


    scrunched up his forehead, "What do you mean by this? The male lead hasn''t even arrived, how


    could the shoot be over?"


    "The director reced the male lead and the shoot went smoothly. So we are packing up half a day


    earlier than scheduled." After speaking the staff left the resort with the props, leaving the manager


    standing there all alone; he wasn''t impressed.


    Never would he have imagined - LM, the director and Tangning - all had the guts to rece Ling


    Feng. How dare they!


    The manager trembled in anger as he returned to the car. He grabbed onto the steering wheel for


    quite some time without saying a word. Eventually, Ling Feng sensed a change in his mood as he


    asked with his eyes still closed, "When will the shoot start?"


    "It''s finished!" his manager replied frustratedly.


    "What do you mean?" Ling Feng forced open his eyes as he asked in an agitated manner.


    "You were reced and themercial waspleted."


    "Do they f*cking know who I am? How dare they rece me?" Ling Feng was young and arrogant,


    so swear words came flying out of his mouth. He clenched his right fist and punched it against the


    back of the driver''s seat, "Who did they rece me with? Don''t they want to survive in this industry


    anymore?" "I will immediately go investigate," his manager did not look happy either. ording to


    Ling Feng''s current status, although he wasn''t an A-lister, he was pretty much on the same level as


    them. How dare LM rece Ling Feng. No wonder the representative refused to chat to him over


    the phone...


    "Give my father a call right now. If I find out whose idea this was, I will definitely screw them up. It


    better have not been Tangning the b*tch!" Ling Feng acted like an arrogant, good-for-nothing rich


    kid; his career up to this point had been too smooth and everyone spoilt him too much. So, when


    faced with humiliation like this, it would have been surprising if he managed to tolerate it.


    His manager once again called LM, but no one picked up. He then tried calling the director.


    "Director, Ling Feng and I just arrived on set, but the staff told us the shoot has already been


    completed. Could you exin yourself?"


    "Isn''t Ling Feng sick? In order to allow him to get some rest, I decided to rece him. Is there a


    problem?" Director Liu asked calmly.


    "How could you do this? Ling Feng was LM''s designated male lead, plus, we already signed a


    contract! Above all, I previously provided you an exnation that Ling Feng was sick."


    "If he was sick then why was he working out at the gym?" Director Liu scoffed.


    The manager was dumbfounded. "His fans have already posted up photos of him at the gym, how


    could you tell me he wasn''t feeling well?" Director Liu''s voice was fearless and unfazed. "The


    commercial has finished shooting and my job isplete. As for your contract, you will need to


    discuss it with LM, it is not my responsibility."


    After speaking, Director Liu was about to hang up, but at that moment, the manager quickly called


    out to hold him back, "Who was the male model that reced Ling Feng?"


    "An outsider. I suggest you not to look into it, he is not someone you can afford to offend," with this


    simple reply, all the manager could hearing from the other end of the phone was a dial tone as


    the director hung up.


    The manager was so angry he almost threw his phone on the ground.


    Seeing his reaction, Ling Feng immediately asked, "Who was it?"


    "The director told us not to look into it. It is someone we can''t afford to offend."


    "So, am I, Ling Feng, not one he should worry about offending?" Ling Fengined resentfully.


    He then pulled out his phone, typed up a paragraph of text and posted it online:


    "I am baffled as to what I have done wrong to be reced for no reason."


    "Although I have always known of this industry''s unspoken rules, I am still extremely disappointed."


    "I won''t me anyone, I can only me myself for not working hard enough."


    "I wish for everyone to be treated fairly..."


    As he was currently very popr and his fans were generally quite young, after seeing his post,


    they were furious. They immediately asked him what happened, who bullied him and why he


    sounded so unhappy.


    Not long after, a fan posted up Ling Feng''s schedule for the day, showing that he was supposed to


    be at the resort filming amercial.


    Did that mean his role as male lead was stolen?


    His fans all started specting. Some even rang up An Zihao, trying to get some insider information


    from Tangning - but An Zihao did not respond.


    In just l hour, the post was shared over 100,000 times; Ling Feng was pleased. Since they didn''t


    want him to be well off, then they might as well be unhappy together.


    After all, in this industry, fans had always been more forgiving of male celebrities than females. He


    couldn''t wait to see how Tangning, the director and LM would be scolded at like dogs!
