Chapter 2511: Chapter 2295: A Tree Standing Out in the Forest (Part 6)

Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying both had expressionless faces, as if they were desperately trying to restrain themselves.

Since neither Song Xiaodong nor Xiao Yingying gave Zhou Yuanzhi even a hint through their facial expressions, Zhou Yuanzhi had to believe that Shen Jiayan was genuinely pleading with him. So he pulled Shen Jiayan away from himself and said to her: "Miss Shen, I am really sorry, I discussed this matter with our investors yesterday. Our film crew can’t just stop filming and wait for you to heal. If you still can’t perform barefoot scenes today, I’ll have to give the female lead role to Feng Yuzhi, I’m truly sorry."

"Director Zhou, I’m begging you! It’s really hard for me to get such an opportunity! I can perform! I can stand up!" Shen Jiayan was about to stand up from the wheelchair.

"Miss Shen, what are you doing! Didn’t I tell you yesterday, we’ll have many opportunities to collaborate in the future!" Zhou Yuanzhi quickly reached out to press Shen Jiayan into the wheelchair, preventing her from standing up.

"You’ve already been injured, so you should rest properly. Why come to the set and make a fuss? Don’t delay our filming! Director Zhou has been kind enough to you, giving you the opportunity, but you didn’t grasp it well. What’s the point of coming here and crying?" Feng Yuzhi couldn’t help but make sarcastic remarks from the side.

"So, this must be Miss Feng Yuzhi." Song Xiaodong said to Feng Yuzhi.

"Yes, and you are?" Feng Yuzhi asked arrogantly to Song Xiaodong.

"I’m Shen Jiayan’s boss." Song Xiaodong replied.

"Oh, you should persuade your artist to rest properly if she’s injured. Don’t push for luck and privilege as a female lead when she doesn’t have it. I really don’t know why she came to the set, crying and affecting everyone’s mood and our shooting schedule." Feng Yuzhi said to Song Xiaodong.

"Do you really want to know why she came to the set today?" Song Xiaodong squinted his eyes and tilted his head, with a confident smile on his face, saying to Feng Yuzhi.

"What else could she be here for? Of course, to shamelessly beg Director Zhou for another chance to be the female lead. Some people never know when to call it quits; Director Zhou has already treated your artist very well, don’t overstep!" Feng Yuzhi was displeased with this smug and arrogant man.

"Shen Jiayan didn’t come today to ask Director Zhou to arrange for her to be the female lead; she already is the lead. She came to shoot. Actually, Shen Jiayan told me there was no scene for the second female lead today, so Miss Feng, I wonder what you’re here for?" Song Xiaodong retorted to Feng Yuzhi.

"You’re as shameless as her. You see the state she’s in, can’t even stand up, her feet are covered in injuries. How can she act? How can she be the lead? How can she shoot barefoot scenes?" Feng Yuzhi asked Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong smiled and turned to Shen Jiayan behind him, saying: "Miss Shen, stand up."

"Okay, Family Head." Shen Jiayan, wearing a pair of white sneakers, easily stood up from the wheelchair.

"Take a few steps." Song Xiaodong said to Shen Jiayan again.

Shen Jiayan also held back a smile, and, following Song Xiaodong’s words, walked a few steps back and forth.

"Walk a few steps if you’re not sick." Song Xiaodong said again.

Shen Jiayan simply walked around the wheelchair, even taking a graceful stage step.

"You, weren’t you injured? I saw your feet, the skin and flesh were worn off, how can you still stand up?" Feng Yuzhi widened her eyes in surprise, speaking incoherently, her eyes scanning Shen Jiayan from head to toe several times.

Everyone present—Niu Yun, Zhou Yuanzhi, Zhang Lijiao, Feng Yuzhi, Feng Yuhao, and other staff—witnessing Shen Jiayan lively again, seemed as if they’d seen a ghost. Because they had seen Shen Jiayan’s bloody feet after taking off her shoes and socks yesterday, the bones were exposed.

Yet, just one day later, Shen Jiayan stood perfectly unharmed in front of Feng Yuzhi.

"Director Zhou, do you think my artist’s current state allows filming?" Xiao Yingying asked Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Yuanzhi agreed verbally, but was still somewhat incredulous that Shen Jiayan had completely recovered.

To anyone, it seemed impossible.

But the situation happened just like this.

"If Miss Shen is really recovered this well, and won’t have any more problems, we can certainly continue filming." Zhou Yuanzhi replied.

Zhou Yuanzhi’s words were indeed clever; his intention was to tell Shen Jiayan and Xiao Yingying that if Miss Shen had recovered thanks to some anesthetic or medication, it would only provide temporary support. It might take several months to shoot the film, and if Miss Shen hadn’t truly recovered, starting the work rashly might lead to more issues.

"Being able to stand isn’t enough? Today’s scene is a barefoot scene, even if you can barely stand, your feet are covered in scars. You can’t film! My feet are fine! I am the female lead!" Feng Yuzhi was somewhat hysterical.

"Miss Shen, please show Miss Feng how well your feet have recovered." Song Xiaodong waved to Feng Yuzhi.

"Okay, Family Head." Shen Jiayan beamed, sat back in the wheelchair, took off her sneakers and white socks, unveiling a pair of rosy, smooth feet, as flawless as a newborn baby’s skin.

"This, this, how is this possible? You’re a monster!" Feng Yuzhi seemed to have seen a real monster, shocked by Shen Jiayan’s perfectly restored feet without a hint of anomaly or scars, nearly jumping up.

"Director Zhou, do you think Miss Shen can film today’s scene?" Song Xiaodong asked Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Yes, yes, she can film now, we can shoot now." Zhou Yuanzhi said to Song Xiaodong.

"Alright, since the female lead is already here, let’s start filming. Everyone unrelated, please step back." Song Xiaodong deliberately glanced at Feng Yuzhi and Feng Yuhao and said to everyone.
