Caught in Affairs with Superstar

Chapter 1323 - 698: Fresh Winds and Upright Atmosphere

Actually, Wen Bing guessed right; this was indeed a strategy Yao Yuanfeng taught Zeng Yeng.

Yao Yuanfeng had told Zeng Yeng, "When you become a producer, you must recruit a team of people who truly belong to you; you can’t treat them as mere friends."

Zeng Yeng had been doing just that, but deep down she didn’t entirely agree with it.

She was a producer born and raised in New Shield, and all the projects she worked on were New Shield’s own.

Within these projects, Zeng Yeng had faced many difficulties during pitching, practical shooting, or trivial issues like celebrities acting up.

However, Zeng Yeng had never encountered a situation where the entire crew worked against her.

This time, while shooting "Female Assassin," she suddenly felt this way.

Zeng Yeng believed that the "Female Assassin" crew couldn’t entirely be Wen Bing’s people. But why was it that whenever a conflict arose between her and Wen Bing, everyone seemed to subtly side with Wen Bing and preferred to listen to him?

Many who don’t understand often assume that the director holds the most power in a crew.

However, those truly in the know understand that within a crew, it’s more likely the producer who has the final say.

Because oftentimes, the producer is the one managing the money.

Zeng Yeng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly, Yao Yuanfeng’s words flashed through her mind.

She suddenly saw everything clearly.

In "Female Assassin," she didn’t even have her own team, her confidants.

When she and Wen Bing had a conflict, there was nobody in the crew to support her.

Zeng Yeng was surprised that she had made such a big oversight.

Such a big oversight occurred first because Zeng Yeng hadn’t been aware, as all projects were New Shield’s, and most of the time the crew would give due respect to this "New Shield person" since the one spending money is always right. Secondly, because the director Wen Bing was also a New Shield person, Zeng Yeng’s "New Shield" identity wasn’t so untouchable.

When the two clashed, there was no need to choose between the "New Shield Faction" and the "non-New Shield Faction," as both were "New Shield brands."

Zeng Yeng’s greatest strength is that when she realizes a situation might benefit her more, she doesn’t hesitate to throw aside pride and self-respect to make the most advantageous choice.

It was like this when she made amends with Wen Bing, and it was like this when she decided to give everyone a day off and head to Rome together.

When Zhou Yun was sighing with Wen Bing and Zheng Xiaojue about "Zeng Yeng’s change of heart," Lucia suddenly fell into an emotional fluctuation.

In short, Lucia felt that Wen Bing and Zhou Yun’s relationship was too close.

Lucia was jealous.

Lucia told Wen Bing, "Every day on set, when I see you talking so intimately with Zhou Yun, I feel unhappy and very jealous inside."

She was honest and direct, saying whatever was on her mind.

Wen Bing, however, was taken aback.

He explained, "Baby, don’t get me wrong, Zhou Yun and I are just good friends; we’re not lovers."

Lucia questioned, "She’s so beautiful, have you never had feelings for her?"

Wen Bing chuckled helplessly, saying, "If I had feelings for her, I would’ve pursued her long ago."

"That’s because she has a boyfriend." Lucia said, "Darling, please don’t be so close with Zhou Yun in the future, okay?"

Lucia clutched Wen Bing’s sleeve, looking pitiably at him.

Wen Bing’s heart softened immediately.

He said helplessly, "Okay, I got it."

Then he found an appropriate time when Lucia wasn’t around to explain the situation to Zhou Yun.

"She’s just a young girl with no sense of security; seeing me chat and laugh with a beauty like you, she thinks I like you," Wen Bing said, "Could you be a bit understanding? Let’s try not to appear too close on set, okay?"

Zhou Yun glanced Wen Bing up and down, raising an eyebrow.

"Wen Bing, are you out of your mind?"

With her arms crossed, she turned around and walked off.

Wen Bing quickly ran after her, calling, "Don’t forget what I said!"

Zhou Yun felt that Wen Bing, when not in a relationship, was fine, but the moment he was, he became all clingy.
