They bid each other farewell, and Chai Xiyang started the car and drove off…
It wasn’t until the car had completely disappeared from her sight that Qiao Ning turned away, only to see Hai Lan, who had just arrived.
“Sister Hai Lan…” Qiao Ning greeted her with a smile, marking the start of her new day at work.
That day, there was no filming in the crew; they spent the time familiarizing themselves with the workflow and rearranging the set.
The new director was indeed bad-tempered, but it was bearable.
What Qiao Ning was surprised by was that the new director planned to replace a major character with Zhang Meimei.
The director had the right to choose which actor to use – a decision that the production company could not interfere with.
Moreover, Zhang Meimei was under contract with the director, not the Chai Family, so Chai Xiyang had no knowledge of this.
When Qiao Ning headed home that evening, she didn’t mention it to Chai Xiyang.
She saw no need to stir up disputes and make Chai Xiyang and the director quarrel.
In fact, she thought that after what happened last time, Zhang Meimei would no longer target her openly.
But she was far too naive…
The next day, when Zhang Meimei arrived at the set, she found all kinds of excuses to make Qiao Ning run errands for her, be it to fetch her water, buy something for her, or hold an umbrella for her…
Qiao Ning was able to tolerate these actions and basically put up with them.
Zhang Meimei didn’t go too far on the first day, so it passed without any significant issues for Qiao Ning.
On the third day, Zhang Meimei had a scene acting against a maid.
The actress who was supposed to play the maid suddenly developed a stomachache and couldn’t shoot. The director immediately appointed Qiao Ning to take up the role.
“You take over!” the director suddenly ordered Qiao Ning, who was busy reviewing the script.
Qiao Ning looked up in surprise, “Me?”
“Yes, you. Hurry up and get your makeup done. Don’t waste my time!” The director spoke in a commanding manner, as though he was ordering a servant around.
Everyone knew about the director’s temperament, and Qiao Ning, often standing in for others, didn’t refuse.
Once her makeup was done, she quickly went on stage…
This scene was a dialogue between a young mistress of the General Mansion, played by Zhang Meimei, and her maid.
Qiao Ning remembered her lines, thinking she just had to follow the script…
But as soon as she finished, Zhang Meimei slapped her hard across the face, her eyes menacing and cold, “You scum! Is this how you dare to talk to your mistress?!”
The sudden slap — a full-force one at that — left Qiao Ning dumbfounded.
Not just her; everyone around was also taken aback…

Because this scene didn’t include any slapping in the script.
Before they could react, the director suddenly declared, “Cut! Not bad, we’ll keep this take!”
Zhang Meimei’s assistant immediately came over and fawned on her, “Meimei, your acting just now was fantastic!”
Zhang Meimei rubbed her wrist, casting a disdainful glance at Qiao Ning, “What a pity, it passed in just one take. I feel like my performance was not fully expressed.”
Qiao Ning understood her meaning instantly – she meant she hadn’t had her fill of hitting her…
Now Qiao Ning realized – she had hit her on purpose!
Even the director let it pass…
Qiao Ning was so angry she trembled. Zhang Meimei met her furious gaze and sneered, “What are you looking at? Did I hurt you with that slap? I didn’t even use much force, and you can’t take it?”
“You did it on purpose!” Qiao Ning accused her angrily, “The script does not include a slap in the face part, you did it on purpose!”
Zhang Meimei innocently responded, “I didn’t do it on purpose. It was just a spontaneous addition to the scene.
