A day after what happened at the filming site, Jennie finally heard about it when she came across Meng Cheng and Jiang Ping in the lobby. The two of them were dragging their suitcases with their assistants.

Meng Chen was fuming as she stomped her feet on the tiled floor of the lobby, "I swear when I see her next time, I will make her eat dirt!"

Jennie laughed, "Sister Meng, I didn't know you have this wild side inside you."

"Wild side? Jennie, are you saying I am so amazing?" Meng Chen giggled.

"Yes, you're right. You're really amazing. I think I'm falling in love with your wild side!" Jennie went along with the other's words.

Meng Chen winked, "Then, I must let you see how wild I can be!"

Meng Chen hopped and hugged Jennie, the two of them giggled and laughed until a cough took their attention.

"Ahem, I think you're forgetting my presence here a bit too much," Jiang Ping stared at the two beautiful ladies.

"It's only because Brother Jiang is too straight and cool that we thought you merged with the walls behind you," Meng Chen teased.

Jiang Ping was a tall man, almost around 6ft and 5 inches. Compared to two girls who were a head or two shorter than him, describing him as a wall or a statue was really not wrong.

Being teased again by Meng Chen, Jiang Ping sighed and shook his head. He then raised his head and looked at Jennie. He said to her, "It was really fortunate that you left the cast. If you didn't, I don't know what Qin Ling would do once she saw you."

"That's right... I also don't know what I would do if I saw her," Jennie said with a deeper meaning.

If Qin Ling went against her and did what she did to Manager Zhao to her, Jennie really didn't know what she'll do to the young actress. But one thing was for sure, Qin Ling would quit the industry as soon as Jennie was done with her.

Though she did not do anything to retaliate to Qin Ling, Jennie was still satisfied with what happened to her. She didn't even lift a hand yet the other was already struggling to survive.

Noticing that Jennie had gone silent, Meng Chen was worried that Jennie must have been still affected by being forced to leave the movie. She hugged her tighter and consoled her, "Jennie, don't feel too sad that you were forced to leave the movie. Look what happened, ever since you left, the shooting hasn't been going well and every director couldn't wait to finish the filming and leave! All that was because of Qin Ling!"

What Meng Chen said wasn't all a lie... Ever since Qin Ling arrived at the filming studio, things weren't going very well. It was as if a colossal bad luck had struck the movie, making the studio such a gloomy and uncomfortable place to work at.

Jiang Ping also thought that he had misspoken and quickly said, "That's right... Besides, I think Qin Ling will be kicked out of the movie too."

"She is?" Jennie was shocked.

Jiang Ping and Meng Chen nodded.

Jiang Ping then explained: "Yes, she is... The directors started to protest against the studio that purchased the movie franchise and said they will quit and let other directors handle the rest of the movie. They could no longer take the pressure of the investors who keep on pushing actors and actresses to have a role in the movie, saying that the movie was already ruined before it even started--"

Jiang Ping just finished speaking when Meng Chen continued for him, "Simply put, they don't want Qin Ling in the movie!"

Jennie looked at her and said, "But didn't her father invest money in the movie?"
