At this moment, Li Moli was still defending herself. "Who's acting? What on earth are you talking about?"
Seeing Li Moli's attitude, Qin Qiao'er gradually understood. She had initially wondered why Li Moli seemed so innocent, but then she realized the reason behind her act.
"Are you afraid I've secretly brought a recorder like you? Don't worry. I'm not as despicable as you. I'm not like you. I just came to ask you a few questions," Qin Qiao'er said openly and honestly.
Qin Qiao'er now had a clear conscience in everything she did. She would never do something as low - down as Li Moli. If she did, she would have no right to question Li Moli.
"Now you've got what you want. Do you really have to push me to the corner? I'm still very confused. Why do you hate me so much?"
After hearing Qin Qiao'er say she didn't bring any recording device, Li Moli changed her expression. She was no longer the innocent - looking girl Qin Qiao'er had seen before.
"For no reason. I just can't stand your look. Unless you go out and admit that you got into this crew through someone's connections. Then I might let you stay in the crew," Li Moli said, crossing her arms and looking down on Qin Qiao'er haughtily.
"Impossible. I got into this crew with my own strength. On the day of the audition, it was the first time I met the director. I seized this opportunity.
If you firmly believe that I got in through connections, I can't do anything about it. Other than this condition, do you have any other one to go out and clarify this to the media?"
Li Moli sneered. "You're still being stubborn? Fine. Since you're like this, I have no other choice. This is my only condition."
Qin Qiao'er clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down. She couldn't act impulsively and do something she would regret.
"I can go to the director and ask him to cut my scenes. Don't you want to be the lead? I can give you this chance," Qin Qiao'er still tried to bargain.
"I don't need you to give it to me. As long as you leave the crew, I'll be the lead of this movie," Li Moli said casually.
No matter what conditions Qin Qiao'er proposed, Li Moli only had one demand: for Qin Qiao'er to admit in public that she got into the crew through connections. But Qin Qiao'er would never take this blame on herself.
So the two parted on bad terms once again.
Now the whole crew was in a precarious situation. The storm of this incident had affected the fate of the entire crew. The director now had to make a quick decision: whether to keep Qin Qiao'er in the crew.
Many people on the Internet were calling for Qin Qiao'er to be replaced with a new lead. Not only the netizens were saying this, but the producer was also persuading the director to change the lead.
The producer was thinking about the whole movie. They had invested so much effort in the early stage. If the movie flopped in the end just because of Qin Qiao'er, it would be a great loss.
Many investors and advertisers, after hearing this news, had put pressure on the crew, saying that if they didn't terminate the contract with Qin Qiao'er, they would withdraw all their investments.
Naturally, Zhao Youting had also heard about this. As the biggest investor in the crew, he told the crew that as long as they didn't replace Qin Qiao'er, he wouldn't withdraw his investment.
Now the incident had become a big deal. Many reporters were camping outside the crew every day, waiting to take pictures. The filming of the movie couldn't go on normally.
With all these problems piling up, the whole crew was in a state of stagnation. Everyone was worried about their future and at their wits' end.
Qin Qiao'er, being in the crew, could naturally sense that the atmosphere was strange. She knew that it was all because of her.
Zhao Youting called Qin Qiao'er and told her not to worry. He said he would definitely keep investing in the crew, with the requirement that Qin Qiao'er continue filming.
He also told Qin Qiao'er that he was the biggest investor in the crew. Even if all the other investors withdrew, he was willing to keep funding the crew to ensure the movie continued.
When Zhao Youting was negotiating with the crew, he almost revealed his true identity. But thinking that Qin Qiao'er didn't like to mention their relationship to outsiders, he held back.
He also knew that if he revealed their relationship at this moment, it might push Qin Qiao'er into a pit of misunderstanding.
After hearing what Zhao Youting said, Qin Qiao'er was touched but also felt a great deal of pressure. She felt that it was because of her that Zhao Youting and the whole crew were in such a difficult situation.
At this time, Brother Zhi also called Qin Qiao'er to comfort her. He told Qin Qiao'er not to worry too much and that he had already told the director to trust her.
After receiving these two calls, what worried Qin Qiao'er most was the director. She thought the director was under the greatest pressure.
Caught between the crew and herself, the director was really struggling. On the one hand, he had to be responsible for the future of so many people in the crew, and on the other hand, he had to consider her.
Qin Qiao'er didn't want to see the director in such a difficult situation. She believed that it was very difficult for the director to make any decision. He must be more anxious than herself.
Qin Qiao'er thought that the director had put so much effort into this movie. If it stopped filming because of her, she would feel very sorry for the director.
Qin Qiao'er sat alone in the lounge for a long time, thinking about what she should do. Finally, she made up her mind and decided to go to the director.
She couldn't just sit back and watch the director's hard work be ruined because of her. If sacrificing herself could ensure the movie was released on schedule, she was willing to do it.
Qin Qiao'er knocked on the director's door. "Director, I'll accept whatever decision you make."
