Chapter 1074: Being Replaced
Xia Xibei didn’t know that her meeting with Qi Zhi’an had been discovered.
She was very sensitive to the camera and would have sensed if someone was secretly filming her.
However, Qi Xuanran didn’t take pictures, so she didn’t feel anything wrong. Plus the place was very private and ordinary paparazzi couldn’t go in, so she didn’t think too much about it.
Therefore, she didn’t know that her relationship with Qi Zhi’an had been misunderstood.
Her focus now was to take care of Liu Manhong’s injury.
She had already been delayed here for some time, and if she didn’t go back, the show would definitely complain.
As soon as she thought of this, Pan Yan called.
Pan Yan’s tone was not too good on the phone.
“The show said they want to cancel our contract.”
When these words came out, Xia Xibei froze.
“Termination of contract?”
“Yes,” Pan Yan hummed. “They said that you took too much time off work and it affected their filming process. So, after some discussion, they decided to replace you.”
Xia Xibei’s brows furrowed. Replace her?
Obviously, when she took leave two days ago, the director’s attitude was still very good.
Moreover, although she had taken a lot of leave, her acting skills were good and efficient.
She was confident that after she went back, she would be able to catch up with the shoot.
Now the show said they wanted to cancel the contract?
“Who are they going to use?”
Xia Xibei didn’t get angry, but asked a question first.
“It seems to be Cheng Yingni.”
“Cheng Yingni?” Xia Xibei froze for a moment. “It’s her?”
“Yeah.”
Pan Yan’s tone wasn’t too good.
Xia Xibei’s popularity was very high now. She was the most popular young starlet nowadays, and her performance was excellent in all aspects.
However, this Cheng Yingni wasn’t bad either.
Cheng Yingni was 20 years old, making her two years older than Xia Xibei.
Cheng Yingni used to be a child actress and started to participate in filming when she was three or four years old.
At that time, she was the country’s favorite child actress!
When she was a child, she was cute, and when she grew up, she didn’t lose her looks, still very beautiful.
With creamy skin and long legs, she was a proper goddess.
The most important thing was that she had a powerful family background.
Her mother was a big star back then, her father was a successful businessman, and her grandparents and great-grandparents were very powerful and low-key.
Her successful life would make people cry with envy!
Cheng Yingni was a good-looking actress and had won many awards.
Two years ago, after her high school entrance exams, she announced that she would temporarily quit the entertainment industry and go abroad for further studies.
This decision made her fans and others feel sad, but still admire her at the same time.
It was said that all roads lead to Rome, but some people were already born in Rome!
The most important thing was that she was already a Roman and still worked so hard to excel!
She got into a top-ranked international university to study music on a full scholarship!
So admirable!
Xia Xibei had heard of Cheng Yingni and knew that she would return to the entertainment industry and make a new career out of it.
However, Xia Xibei didn’t expect that Cheng Yingni would come back at this time, and as soon as she did, she would steal her role!
This was not a good development, right?
They didn’t have any grudges before, so she didn’t have to make enemies as soon as she came back, right?
Xia Xibei lowered her eyes for a moment and nodded, “If they really want to cancel the contract, then let’s agree with them.”
“Beibei!” Pan Yan was anxious.
“However, they have to compensate us according to the contract.”
Hearing Xia Xibei’s determination, Pan Yan could only nod.
“OK!”
