“Also, our Miss Keke was born into a noble family. She was brought up like a princess since she was young. Your production team arranged things, and it’s bad enough that the hotel doesn’t have a hot spring bath. Miss Keke said that she can sleep without soaking in one at night, so we tolerated it!

“As for food, it’s bad enough that we can’t bring in fresh fruits and vegetables from overseas every day. It’s easy to find a decent enough chef, but he’s not even on-call 24 hours. What if our Miss Keke gets hungry in the middle of the night?

“Of course, our Miss Keke is kind. She said that since she’s on a diet, she doesn’t have to be so particular about food. We. Also. Endured. That!

“Now these clothes…”

“What’s wrong with these clothes?”

Father Lu, who was watching from the side, really couldn’t take it!

What kind of person was this? This was the first time he had seen such a scoundrel who still pretended to be demure even after obtaining such benefits. If his daughter were to work here in the future, wouldn’t she be bullied to death?

Father Lu was furious. He scolded, “As an actress, you don’t listen to the director’s advice and use all sorts of excuses. Do you think the audience is stupid, and will actually like to see your ugly photoshopped image?

“If your skin is allergic, why don’t you just wear a second layer inside? You can’t be so arrogant, let me tell you!

“Hot spring bath and 24-hour chef? Why not just bring a luxury yacht and 7-star food? The staff who arranged these for you, do you think it’s enough to just pay them?”

Father Lu rolled his eyes. He was speechless!

Miao Ke’er and her three assistants were instantly so angry that their faces turned red. They looked at how Lu Xiao was dressed smartly, yet he was wearing leather shoes as old as a grandmother. One of them was about to shove him. “Who are you? Do you know…”

“Know what?”

“No one is as disrespectful as you are, understand?”

Lu An stepped forward immediately and grabbed the assistant’s fat wrist with her slender fingers. Her cold gaze could freeze blood.

Inexplicably frightened, everyone hesitated, not daring to say another word.

Father Lu gave those people an arrogant glance, then turned to Xiang Quqi. “I heard that you’re the director of this drama?” He didn’t seem reliable.

Lu Xiao took a closer look at Xiang Quqi, then narrowed his eyes. He pointed at Miao Ke’er and asked, “Did you choose this troublesome female lead?”

Father Lu asked the question in a loud and clear voice!

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock. Trou- troublesome?

Did he know who this Miao Ke’er was? He actually dared to be so impolite?

Even Xiang Quqi was a little shocked.

He pushed his glasses up his nose and looked at Lu Xiao carefully. Xiang Quqi answered truthfully, “To be honest, this is the female lead that the investor decided on.

“Us directors sadly aren’t as rich as those big shots. Although they say they won’t interfere with the director’s casting, we still have to agree to the investor’s requests, right?”

As Xiang Quqi spoke, he glanced calmly at Miao Ke’er on the side. Who knew how much resentment he had!

He wasn’t afraid, though. He was Xiang Quqi. Because of his baby face, people would always doubt his experience. However, not only were the few dramas he had filmed popular, their reviews weren’t bad at all.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have insisted on investing in his drama, and even said that he had to make the girl famous.

However, Father Lu caught the main point. “In other words, the investor can choose the female lead?

“If I get rid of that investor, can I also get rid of this female lead?”
