Chapter 1100: Chapter 1099: I’m Afraid of Tarnishing My Reputation

Zeng Yi let out a sigh of relief, "That’s good, as long as it’s not the case, but you should still be a little careful."

"Okay." Shen Mianmian nodded. "Thanks for the heads-up."

After speaking, Shen Mianmian walked toward the director and had a brief chat before the director called for everyone to start working.

As Shen Mianmian had expected, although the punches were real, Zheng Yuxuan didn’t hit hard, and not only did they get it in one take, but it was also perfect.

The applause was loud, yet it didn’t hurt much, showing just how skilled Zheng Yuxuan was in acting for film.

After the director yelled cut, Shen Mianmian nodded at Zheng Yuxuan and said softly, "Thank you, Senior Zheng."

Zheng Yuxuan was startled, Shen Mianmian seldom spoke much on set, and usually rarely spoke to him. Although not as arrogant as Wang Yaman had described, she seldom initiated conversation with him.

This sudden thanks caught Zheng Yuxuan off guard. After giving it some thought, he realized that Shen Mianmian must have seen Wang Yaman chatting with him and guessed what was going on.

Fortunately, he didn’t listen to Wang Yaman’s words.

Shen Mianmian had status and talent, but wasn’t prideful. Such people didn’t easily shatter their public persona in the entertainment industry. They were the ones who had staying power.

By the time Zheng Yuxuan came back to his senses, Shen Mianmian was already wrapping up and preparing to leave. Just then, Wang Yaman walked over, snorted at him, and said with disdain, "No wonder you wouldn’t help hint Shen Mianmian to watch herself. Turns out, Shen Mianmian has been quite good at flattering you behind the scenes."

"Miss Wang, you’re a public figure too. Please watch your words," Zheng Yuxuan said with a frown, giving her a look before turning away.

Wang Yaman stood there, stamping her feet in anger. This Shen Mianmian, she just helped some rich family have a son, right?

What’s so great about that.

At that moment, the assistant walked over, looking troubled and said, "Yaman, I already told you, it’s better not to provoke Shen Mianmian. If you don’t like her, just ignore her. Shen Mianmian is no ordinary person."

"So what if she’s no ordinary person?" Wang Yaman retorted irritably. "Others might fear her, but I sure don’t."

The assistant was frustrated. How was she supposed to explain it to Wang Yaman?

Although Wang Yaman had a wealthy backer, the backer wouldn’t offend Shen Mianmian just for Wang Yaman. After all, women like Wang Yaman could be found anywhere with a bit of money, and could be replaced any time they grew tired of them.

Such things were clear in her mind, but she couldn’t say them out loud. Instead, she tactfully brought up Cheng Xining for comparison.

"A few days ago, Cheng Xining challenged Shen Mianmian, and as a result, her car got towed and still hasn’t been released. Moreover, a lot of people have been badmouthing her lately. These past days, the newspapers are all about her, and everyone seems to be cursing her behind her back. They’re even clamoring to never watch her movies again."

Wang Yaman said disdainfully, "Don’t compare me to her. Cheng Xining is even more shameless than Shen Mianmian, hopping from one person to another, just a tramp. I don’t want to tarnish my reputation by being associated with her."

The assistant’s mouth twitched. Wang Yaman thought she was superior, but in reality, what was the difference between her and Cheng Xining?

But she didn’t dare say it, only saying, "I’m not comparing you two directly, I’m saying she has powerful support. Shen Mianmian still dared to confront her, and in the end, Cheng Xining is the one who suffered."

There was no benefit in crossing Shen Mianmian.

"She probably follows some incompetent old man," Wang Yaman said.

Assistant: "..."

The assistant knew it was no use talking to Wang Yaman and gave up trying.

In the end, Wang Yaman would regret it when the time came; if it came to that, the assistant could simply find another boss to work for.
