Power of Money

Chapter 207

In No.3 studio. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Jillian looked at the crew who were shutting down the cameras, cleaning up the set and preparing to leave.

"What are you doing? Are you rebelling?"

Jillian looked at the crew with hate. She didn't expect that halfway through her filming, the management department called a stop to it without a reason. Jillian, who had always enjoyed special treatment from the company, could not accept this. She was about to find the manager to argue.

But before she left, she was stopped by Tony. After some persuasion, she agreed to let Tony go up and check the situation while she waited here.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Jillian was even more upset.

She stepped forward, kicked away the model's high chair, angrily grabbed the director's arm and snapped, "I'm talking to you, are you dumb? Why did you stop the advertisement that I claimed? Do you want to be fired?"

Holding the notebook in his hand, the director looked at her grumpily and said, "My dear, it has nothing to do with me. If you have any questions, you can ask the management department. We stopped shooting after receiving their notice. You are a big star. Can you stop making work difficult for us?"

"Yes, the model finished filming in an hour. You haven't even achieved one-tenth of her progress in these two hours. You have already thrown away dozens of silk stockings. Can you pity us and let us go for a meal?" The assistant next to him also said grumpily.

They were on the last shot for Helen, and would be able to wrap up after that.

What's more, the filming had progressed very smoothly.

The crew was happy and said that after the filming, they would go to the management department and apply for Helen to stay.

After all, her conditions were good and she was a professional without any airs. As bottom level crew, they liked how this model worked, efficient and fast and they worked happily.

But they didn't expect that Jillian would appear.

In the whole of Super Media, or rather, in the

industry, there was no one who was unaware of Jillian's sloppy work standard and lack of professionalism. She relied on her face and figure to make it this far.

In more than an hour, Helen was able to complete her work with great professionalism. For Jillian, after two hours, there were several issues and required a lot of of retakes. It was fine if she didn't recognise her own problems, but several crew had been scolded by her.

First it was an issue with the light, then the oil, then the stockings...

In short, Jillian had pinpointed all the issues she could find in the whole studio.

The prop assistant tried hard to help her change her silk stockings, apply oil, to dab at her sweat, but had almost been fired on the spot.

As dinner time was approaching, the crew was getting impatient. With the sudden notice from the management department to stop filming in No. 3 studio, the crew could get off work and go home.

No matter what the reason from the management department was, they were happy to stop the filming with this celebrity. They packed up and got ready to leave.

"Haha, how dare you, a prop assistant, talk to

me like that?"

Seeing that a little assistant dared to argue back, Jillian suddenly raised her hand and slapped her in the face.

The assistant was confused.

She turned her head and looked at Jillian incredulously. Her eyes were red and she asked, "Why did you hit me?"

"Why? With that mouth that doesn't know how to speak politely!" Jillian looked at the assistant contemptuously and sneered. "How dare you cry? If you had worn the stockings properly for me earlier, would I have to keep wasting my time here with you? I really don't know what the company was thinking. They arranged for a crew like you to shoot this advertisement for me. Now, I'm going to hit you and teach you how to be a proper person!"

Slap!

Before the assistant could react, Jillian slapped her again on the other cheek.

In an instant, two bright red palm prints, one on the left and the other on the right, were printed on the female assistant's face.

The female assistant looked at Jillian with tears in her eyes. She had never expected that such a popular celebrity like Jillian would

find fault with a little prop assistant and hit her.

At this time, even the other people in the studio couldn't stand it anymore. They put down their things one after another and walked to the female assistant. While comforting her, they glared at Jillian.

"Jillian Chan, you've gone too far. Xixi has worked hard for the whole day and has been lying on the ground to change your stockings and apply the oil for you. It's fine if you didn't thank her, but you still hit her? I'm going to report this to the company and get them to pursue this matter!"

The first person to speak up for the assistant was a cameraman who got along quite well with Jillian.

"Pursue this matter?"

In the face of the other party's accusation, Jillian felt as if she had heard the world's funniest joke.

At the same time, she glanced at all the indignant people in front of her and shook her head. Jillian said in a disdainful tone, "Just you? A group of ants still want to fight with an elephant? Haha... Sure, all of you can dream about getting of work. I'm calling HR now to get all of you fired. All of you can get lost!"

With this, Jillian took out her phone, searched for a contact and called.

The phone was off?

When the mechanical female voice came from the receiver, Jillian was stunned.

But soon, she sneered and called Sierra, the secretary of President Lewis.

After several rings, no one was picking up.

"Damn it, what's going on? Everyone's not around, are you avoiding me on purpose?"

She called several people in a row, but no one answered.

Thinking of how her filming was stopped earlier, there was an ominous premonition in Jillian's heart.

However at this moment, the door of the studio was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Tony ran in, profusely sweating.

"Jillian..."

Tony ran into the room in a panic. Before he could finish his words, the scene in front of him shocked him.

In the studio, five or six staff members surrounded Jillian, and everyone looked angry. Moreover, among these people, there was a little lady who was crying. Tony remembered that she was the prop assistant,

but what was with the palm prints on her face?

"Tony, finally you're back. Come and see, this group of stinking employees wants to rebel, they're trying to stop me from leaving."

Seeing Tony, Jillian immediately returned to her high and mighty self. She crossed her arms over her chest and glanced disdainfully at all the people in front of her.

Stopping her from leaving?

Tony was stunned, but he couldn't care so much now. He rushed forward through the crowd, pulled Jillian's arm and started walking out.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Let go of me. You're just my manager, why are you pulling me?"

Unexpectedly, Jillian pushed away Tony's hand and pointed at the crowd. "Let's not talk about anything else for now. Go to HR and find the manager, fire this group of trash. What kind of quality is this, they still want to film my advertisement. I don't know how the company arranged it. You better ask clearly later, if the company doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't be going to any of my schedules. Let's see what they can do!"

Hearing her words, several staff members'

eyes suddenly turned red.

It was obvious that it was because of her that the shooting was prolonged. They had been working overtime until now. Not only did she not thank them, but she even hit someone for no reason. If Jillian wasn't a celebrity that the company was vigorously promoting, they would have fought with her to no end.

After all, dissatisfaction aside, they still needed their jobs.

Tony was not in the mood at all. Hearing Jillian's words, he just nodded repeatedly. While trying to pacify her, he tried to drag her out but Jillian refused to. She continued pointing at the crying assistant and said fiercely, "Tell the company to get rid of this woman. She is not qualified to stay and be an assistant. Get her to leave now, now!"

"But now, you..."

Tony tried to get his words out while looking at Jillian, but suddenly saw her gaze turn to him, face cold, she said, "Can't you understand what I'm saying? Are you trying to rebel as well? Go to HR and tell them that if she stays, I'm quitting."

"Actually, you've been blacklisted."

Tony hesitated for a moment and said this sentence while gritting teeth.
