Chapter 502 Bai Rong’s Responsibility
Shi Mo looked at her with amus.e.m.e.nt and asked, “Are you very happy?”
Fang Mo’er nodded and said proudly, “There are so many fans who like me, how could I not be happy? If time had permitted, I would really have liked to sign autographs and take photos with each of them.”
Hearing Fang Mo’er’s words, Shi Mo was also happy for her. It had not been easy for his wife to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry with her own strength.
However, at the same time, he felt jealous. Fang Mo’er was too good to her fans.
!!
She had been out with him for so long, yet she could not stop thinking about her fans.
Thinking of the fans, Shi Mo recalled what had just happened.
If he had not been by her side, Fang Mo’er would have been knocked down by that male fan.
At the thought of this, Shi Mo’s dark eyes darkened.
“Hua Mulan” had only just been released and there would be more works in the future. Her fans would only continue to increase.
There were sure to be more fanatical fans in the future. It seemed like it would be necessary to a.s.sign a few bodyguards to Fang Mo’er.

Just as he was considering this matter, Fang Mo’er suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Then she coquettishly said to him, “Of course, it’s all thanks to my husband’s support that I was able to succeed. You’re the biggest contributor.”
After being praised so highly by his wife, Shi Mo finally felt at ease.
“Mulan” was extremely popular. The director, Tian Xin, looked at the work that was soaring in popularity and smiled so much that she could not close her mouth.
On the other hand, “Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai”, had initially been very popular. However, due to the incident with Bai Rong, it had lost a lot of fans.
The main actor’s character was not good, so many viewers expressed that they would not go to the cinema to support the film after it was released and watched it on the app.
The most aggrieved one was the director of Liang Shanbo. He had not expected his painstaking work to be ruined by Bai Rong, so he could not help but call her.
Everyone knew that Bai Rong had become like Xue Ni’s abandoned child, so there was no need for him to be nice to Bai Rong anymore.
After making the call, he did not give Bai Rong any face at all.
“Look at what you’ve done. What were your grievances that couldn’t you have waited until the movie was over? How much have I lost because of you?”
Bai Rong knew that she was in the wrong. Although she was unhappy, she did not dare to show it and could only apologize to the director.
However what she did not expect was that the director had not called her just to scold her, but to discuss another matter.
“It’s useless to say more, Miss Bai. We signed a contract before filming the movie. If the movie is affected because of the actor’s personal issues, it is necessary for the actor to pay the corresponding compensation.”
The director was already trying his best to suppress his anger.
Bai Rong’s heart suddenly tightened. There was indeed such a clause in the contract.
However, she had already been shelved. There was no chance for her to receive any jobs within such a short period of time. If the director still wanted her to compensate, then she would be finished.
Immediately, she hurriedly smiled apologetically. Softening the tone of her voice, she begged, “Director, I know I’m in the wrong, but you are a magnanimous person. Can you let me off? I have no chance to take any jobs now. Or allow to compensate you once I’m able to accept more jobs in the future.”
“We will go according to the contract. If everyone is like you, then the director would have to wait to the death for their compensation.” The director did not relent and insisted on Bai Rong paying compensation.
“Miss Xue Ni is the biggest investor in this movie. She didn’t even ask me to compensate her. What are you trying to say?” Bai Rong was a little anxious.
The director sneered when he heard this, then he said, “You still have the nerve to mention Miss Xue. Look what you’ve done to Miss Xue! It’s not too late for her to avoid suspicion, so why would she take the initiative to look for you? Anyway, there is a contract. You can’t deny it even if you wanted to.”
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Bai Rong decided to go full out with bravado.
She said coldly, “I don’t have any money now. You can wait until I give it to you later, or I won’t give anything to you at all.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
The director heard the beeping sound on the other end of the phone and was so angry that he let out a bitter laugh.
Bai Rong was truly thick-skinned. If he had known earlier, he would have insisted on using Fang Mo’er from the start.
Since Bai Rong had not agreed, he would have to look for another solution.
Xue Ni was not feeling too good either. The failure of the investment was just a trivial matter. In comparison, helping Bai Rong was sure to offend Shi Mo greatly.
Although Shi Mo did not blame her, there was no guarantee that Fang Mo’er would not say anything bad behind her back.
Xue Ni decided to keep a closer eye on Fang Mo’er in the future.
She asked her a.s.sistant to compile a file on “Hua Mulan”for her.
She discovered that “Hua Mulan” had not only become a big hit in China, but it had been scheduled for a lot of screenings overseas.
What was going on? Even though Fang Mo’er had appeared in Country Y previously, that did not mean that “Hua Mulan” would automatically become so popular.
She immediately asked her a.s.sistant to investigate.
The a.s.sistant did a quick investigation and sent the results to her.

Xue Ni noticed that Mu Chen was mentioned in the report and suddenly understood. It turned out that this was the because of Mu Chen’s efforts to win Fang Mo’er back.
