Chapter 702 Who The Hell Are You
Ding Fei stood up immediately. “You’d better not f*cking refuse when I’m asking nicely!” Huang Zichao was dumbfounded. Did this woman just swear at me? I thought she would be a decent person from her designer outfit, but I can’t believe she cursed at me.
Being a recognized actor, he naturally knew better than to yell back at her. He simply stood up furiously and headed for the door without saying a word.
“Stop right there!” Ding Fei called out. Huang Zichao halted his steps. “People with different interests cannot work together!”
“If you don’t agree, you’ll definitely regret it!” Despite her threat, Huang Zichao remained silent and continued heading outside.
“Do you still remember that girlfriend of yours in Spaunia surnamed Li?” Ding Fei said in a cold voice from behind.
Huang Zichao, who was about to leave the private room, immediately stopped in his tracks.
“Her name is Li Xin, right? At that time, you were despondent about not having any acting jobs, and you couldn’t even pay the rent. She was pregnant and had to choose abortion because she didn’t dare to give birth. But the moment you rose to fame, you dumped her. If the press finds out about this, do you think you can keep your career, you ungrateful rascal?” Ding Fei berated.
“That’s not it. She proposed to break up, not me. I didn’t abandon her!” Huang Zichao shouted.
“You make it sound so nice when you deliberately avoided her after achieving fame. She couldn’t even see you once a year. You deliberately gave her the silent treatment to force her to break up so that you can continue your career! The audacity of you to not admit it! What a coward and a sc*mbag!”
Seeing that she finally got hold of his dirt, Ding Fei immediately became smug.
“It’s not like that at all. I was indeed busy with work, but I didn’t avoid her on purpose. I’d spend time with her whenever I could although I didn’t have that much time…”
“You’re truly a sc*mbag! If you don’t work with me, I will expose all of this, and when the time comes, everyone will scorn you. You can forget about remaining in this industry then.”
Huang Zichao fell silent.
He had been a part of the entertainment industry for many years, so he naturally understood how it operated.
No matter how big a celebrity you are, once a scandal occurs, you will be despised by everyone overnight. Directors who have pleaded with you to appear in their dramas and businesses that approached you to be their spokesman will suddenly treat you like a plague and avoid you out of fear of being associated with you. If it’s a scandal caused by a work-related mistake, it’s a little better. However, if it’s this kind of scandal relating to private life, especially one that raises moral questions, being blacklisted by the industry is a given.
He simply could not afford such a risk.
Even though he genuinely did not forsake his ex-girlfriend on purpose and had given her a sizable sum of money, the breakup did occur.
People would only focus on the breakup, especially the fact that it occurred after he became famous.
Although it was not anything new, as there were numerous cases of successful people abandoning their wives and children, it was still the kind of case that people despised the most, especially if it involved celebrities.
No one would look into the truth when the news broke. They would only berate Huang Zichao as the classic heartless and unfaithful man.
On top of that, if his ex-girlfriend was bribed into confirming the breakup, it would cause his immediate downfall.
His transition from an ordinary actor to a renowned actor did not happen overnight but after a long period of hard work.
Any human would cherish the fruits of their hard work, and Huang Zichao was no exception.
He hesitated and felt so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Ding Fei noticed his nervousness and laughed loudly. “Weren’t you leaving? Go ahead! If you dare to walk out of this door without my permission, your reputation will be ruined tomorrow. Not only that, but your film contract, endorsements, company, and all your deals will be doomed. Do you dare to go out? Of course not!”
“Who the hell are you, and why are you messing with me? How do you know about Li Xin?” Huang Zichao asked.
“I’m Ding Fei. As for how I know about those things, I won’t tell you. There’s no concealing the truth. Unless you didn’t do it, people would surely find out about it! Huang Zichao, if you comply and work with me, you can continue enjoying your high status. Otherwise, I’ll bring you down immediately!” she said arrogantly as she pointed at him.
“What on earth do you want? After I finish filming my current project, I’ll go to yours. Is there any problem with that? I signed a contract with them first, after all. This is against the rules of the industry.”
Ding Fei responded, “Don’t tell me about the rules. I’ll set them for you right now. You must report to our production team and shoot our movie. As for the other matters, I don’t care. Figure it out on your own. Also, aren’t you and Ning Ran very close? I heard that you’ll be appearing on a show with her soon.”
“You also know about this?”
She grew even smugger. “Money can buy you any information you want. What’s so strange about that? When you appear on the show, you must announce before everyone that you’ll be withdrawing from the movie you’re working with Ning Ran because she has been harassing you shamelessly. You can’t bear it any longer, so you wish to quit!”
Huang Zichao was even more shocked. Ning Ran has always conducted herself with dignity. She has never harassed me. Besides, with Nan Chen watching us like a hawk, she wouldn’t dare to do that.
“No one will believe such news. It sounds outrageous,” he said.
“I don’t care. If no one believes it, you must find a way to make them believe it. By doing so, not only can you withdraw yourself from the movie easily, but you can also ruin Ning Ran’s reputation. As long as she loses her reputation, the movie will inevitably be ruined as well.” Ding Fei laughed triumphantly again.
“Why must you do this? Do you hold a grudge against Ning Ran? Or Nan Chen?” Huang Zichao asked.
“This isn’t something you should ask. In any case, if you don’t want anything to happen to you, you must listen to me. Otherwise, I’ll destroy you!”
“You are simply a devil. Where did you come from? I’ve never heard of you in the entertainment industry before!”
“I’m indeed a devil. I want to destroy some people. A group of people, to be exact! If you listen to me, you can continue your career without any worries, but should you dare to go against me, you’ll become one of them!”
Ding Fei did not seem to mind being called a devil. On the contrary, she liked it very much.
Some people are willing to be angels, but others strive to be the devil.
“But Nan Chen is backing Ning Ran. If I do this, then—”
“Are you afraid? What’s so great about Nan Chen? Is he omnipotent? If you don’t want to hurt Ning Ran, you can just wait to be destroyed!”
Huang Zichao did not dare to speak anymore.
It was a difficult choice to make, and he truly did not know what to do.
