Chapter 992: Chapter 992: I Am Just a Big Pig’s Trotter

"If I don’t apologize and get replaced halfway through filming, how will I ever make it in the industry?"

Yu Fei stood in place with a livid expression, finally beginning to regret his actions. He should not have ridiculed Shen Mianmian in front of everyone. There were many ways to teach Shen Mianmian a lesson, but by doing it during the shoot and delaying the process, he had indeed crossed the director’s bottom line.

After much hesitation, Yu Fei decided to apologize. Even if word got out, at most people would say he knew to correct his mistakes and was magnanimous. If he were replaced, it would affect his future prospects.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Fei’s face did a complete 180-degree turn, "Director, I’ve thought it over, and I was indeed too much just now. I shouldn’t have compared others to whatever I think they resemble. That was my problem, and I’m willing to apologize."

That’s an apology?

Yang Xiaoxi and Cheng Feiyang were nearly fainting with anger upon hearing this and were about to retort when Shen Mianmian stopped them with a glance.

She smiled, seemingly not taking the matter to heart at all, and said lightly, "There’s no need to apologize. I’m someone with a big heart; I don’t hold grudges. You just have to repeat what you called me just now, but say it about yourself instead. That would be fair."

Yu Fei: "..."

Everyone: "..."

What a clever move by Shen Mianmian. Everyone felt a sense of satisfaction on her behalf, struggling to suppress their amusement.

Shen Mianmian was simply eating something, and he compared her to a sow. Many scenes in acting were a bit rough, and if comparisons like Yu Fei’s were made, wouldn’t that mess with the actors’ morale?

Now, it served Yu Fei right to taste his own bitter medicine.

The director also wanted to teach Yu Fei a lesson. Since Yu Fei was at fault, it was only natural for him to take Shen Mianmian’s side, "Yu Fei, since Shen Mianmian is also willing to let bygones be bygones and not hold it against you, then just do as she says!"

Is that backing down?

The anger Yu Fei had just calmed flared up again.

"Shen Mianmian, I’m willing to step back, but don’t go too far. I was just making a joke earlier, just a metaphor, with no other intention. Why are you being so aggressive?"

Shen Mianmian snorted coldly, "When you used those words on me, it was just a joke, a casual metaphor without any intent to insult. So why can’t the same words be turned on yourself?"

This time, Shen Mianmian had no intention of letting Yu Fei off the hook. If she always backed down, Yu Fei might take her for an easy target.

He had walked into the line of fire himself; he couldn’t blame her for what happened next.

"You..."

Yu Fei was left speechless, his face turning beet red.

"Yu Fei, don’t waste everyone’s time. If you can’t show a good attitude and still don’t recognize your mistake, then go back and think hard about who is at fault," the director issued his ultimatum, "We haven’t been filming for long, and you haven’t shot much of your part. Replacing you now won’t be a big loss."

His stance was clear in one sentence.

Realizing the director was serious this time, Yu Fei gritted his teeth and managed a forced smile, "Director, it’s not that big of a deal. Don’t make such harsh statements. Since you’ve gone this far, I have to give you that much respect."

After he finished, he turned to Shen Mianmian and loudly said a few sentences, "I am a pig, I am a boar, I am a sow, I laugh like a boar, I am a big hoof."

People on the scene heard this and struggled to suppress their laughter.

Shen Mianmian’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Now that you’ve described yourself in such terms, if I were still to mind it, I would indeed seem petty."
