?Chapter 279: Chapter 280: Repaying Tenfold (9)_1 Chapter 279: Chapter 280: Repaying Tenfold (9)_1 “I just acted impulsively, that’s all. I can apologize, and I will apologize,” Zhou Nan said, turning to the director, “Director Lin, I truly didn’t do it on purpose, please, help me.”
Jing Haohao felt that Zhou Nan’s sudden change was even more dramatic than Liang Chen’s earlier shift. Generally, Zhou Nan acted arrogantly on the set, behaving as if no one else mattered. Now, she was humbly begging for leniency after merely being outmaneuvered by Liang Chen. This was a pathetic lack of backbone!
The director had known Zhou Nan for a while. Seeing her look at him with such desperation, even though he was a bit afraid of Liang Chen, he gritted his teeth and said to Mr. Liang, “Problems are bound to arise when two people work closely together. Zhou Nan admitted that she acted rashly. Now, knowing her mistake, she wants to apologize to Miss Jing and make amends… I guarantee nothing like this will happen again.”
“Whenever such a situation arises, it indeed requires stepping back. As we just discussed, women can naturally have problems when working together.”
At Liang Chen’s comment, the director quickly nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, what Mr. Liang said is right.”
“However…” Liang Chen suddenly dropped his tone, his voice turning somewhat aloof, “Whether this is the first time or not, I wouldn’t know.”
The director instantly fell silent.
“There are certain things that, once committed, can’t be undone. I may make a concession today, pretend this never happened and let her apologize to Haohao. However, who among you present, can guarantee that she won’t act even more aggressively towards Haohao next time?” The atmosphere around Liang Chen grew forbidding, “I rarely come to the set, but that doesn’t mean I am clueless. A while ago, when you all traveled to the outskirts for location shooting, Jing Haohao was left all alone in the wilderness. The people present at that time probably said there were too many people to keep track of. But was it unintentional, or was it deliberate? I think only you know that deep down.”
Everyone in the room didn’t dare to breathe when Liang Chen spoke.
Everyone silently agreed that they had indeed abandoned Jing Haohao on that occasion.
Jing Haohao didn’t expect that, after so many days had passed, Liang Chen still remembered that evening. At the time, she hadn’t thought too much about whether a deliberate trick had caused her to be abandoned in the wilderness. Now, with Liang Chen’s remarks, she finally understood.
“What happened in the past should stay in the past. Fortunately, Haohao wasn’t hurt. I’ve already given you one opportunity – this being the second offense, what right do you have to ask me for another chance?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Nan began to cry uncontrollably, her voice shaking as she stuttered, “Mr. Liang, I apo-apol… apologize, it’s all my fault, I’m sorry…”
While speaking, Zhou Nan looked towards Jing Haohao, “Haohao, I’m sorry, it was all my fault. Really, I am sorry… Please, help me speak to Mr. Liang on my behalf, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again…”
“‘I’m sorry’ sounds so insincere and hollow, especially since Haohao never accepts verbal apologies,” Liang Chen interrupted Zhou Nan without giving Jing Haohao a chance to speak.
