Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard

His manager once again called LM, but no one picked up. He then tried calling the director.

”Director, Ling Feng and I just arrived on set, but the staff told us the shoot has already been completed. Could you explain yourself?”

”Isn’t Ling Feng sick? In order to allow him to get some rest, I decided to replace him. Is there a problem?” Director Liu asked calmly.

”How could you do this? Ling Feng was LM’s designated male lead, plus, we already signed a contract! Above all, I previously provided you an explanation that Ling Feng was sick.”

”If he was sick then why was he working out at the gym?” Director Liu scoffed.

The manager was dumbfounded.

”His fans have already posted up photos of him at the gym, how could you tell me he wasn’t feeling well?” Director Liu’s voice was fearless and unfazed. ”The commercial has finished shooting and my job is complete. As for your contract, you will need to discuss it with LM, it is not my responsibility.”

After speaking, Director Liu was about to hang up, but at that moment, the manager quickly called out to hold him back, ”Who was the male model that replaced Ling Feng?”

”An outsider. I suggest you not to look into it, he is not someone you can afford to offend,” with this simple reply, all the manager could hear coming from the other end of the phone was a dial tone as the director hung up.

The manager was so angry he almost threw his phone on the ground.

Seeing his reaction, Ling Feng immediately asked, ”Who was it?”

”The director told us not to look into it. It is someone we can’t afford to offend.”

”So, am I, Ling Feng, not one he should worry about offending?” Ling Feng complained resentfully. He then pulled out his phone, typed up a paragraph of text and posted it online:

”I am baffled as to what I have done wrong to be replaced for no reason.”

”Although I have always known of this industry’s unspoken rules, I am still extremely disappointed.”

”I won’t blame anyone, I can only blame myself for not working hard enough.”

”I wish for everyone to be treated fairly...”

As he was currently very popular and his fans were generally quite young, after seeing his post, they were furious. They immediately asked him what happened, who bullied him and why he sounded so unhappy.

Not long after, a fan posted up Ling Feng’s schedule for the day, showing that he was supposed to be at the resort filming a commercial.

Did that mean his role as male lead was stolen?

His fans all started speculating. Some even rang up An Zihao, trying to get some insider information from Tangning - but An Zihao did not respond.

In just 1 hour, the post was shared over 100,000 times; Ling Feng was pleased. Since they didn’t want him to be well off, then they might as well be unhappy together.

After all, in this industry, fans had always been more forgiving of male celebrities than females. He couldn’t wait to see how Tangning, the director and LM would be scolded at like dogs!
