Director Chen's face turned unpleasant. As a director, wherever he went, he was surrounded by compliments and flattery.
For the first time in his life, he was choked up by a mere village girl.
A fellow female transformer whispered to her companion, "Isn't this woman way too arrogant? Who does she think she is? How dare she speak to Director Chen like that!"
Her companion responded with disdain, "That's how uncultured people are. Let's just treat it as a spectacle. Just wait, she'll get what's coming to her soon."
A little village girl, what culture could she have? She probably hasn't even seen a camera before.
Such a little village girl didn't even have the qualifications to carry her shoes.
The two female transformers didn't take her seriously at all.
The young cameraman, under tremendous pressure, checked the camera, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and then said, "Director Chen, no footage is missing."
"Not missing?" Director Chen frowned slightly, "How is that possible? Show me!"
The young cameraman handed the camera to the director.
Director Chen carefully examined the videos and, although he didn't want to admit it, the videos were indeed all there.
Sweat beads formed on Director Chen's forehead.
Mu Qingli stood behind the director, her tone slightly cold, "Director Chen, I'm in a hurry. Please hurry up and start."
"What? You actually expect our director to apologize to you? Do you even know what you are? Are you worthy?" the female transformer stepped forward, her gaze filled with disdain.
Fame depended on the director, and at this moment, she certainly wanted to ingratiate herself with him.
Mu Qingli looked up at the person who had spoken, and suddenly, her eyes tightened.
She knew this person.
Named Su Keke.
In Imperial City, Su Keke had been Mu Lanke's close friend. Behind the scenes, Su Keke had done a lot of dirty work for Mu Lanke, and Yi Cai's death probably involved her as well.
In the past life, because of the show "Metamorphosis Record," Su Keke became a national internet sensation with millions of fans online.
This life, well, Su Keke might find becoming a beloved internet sensation not so easy!
Mu Qingli curled her lips into a smile, suddenly radiant with magnificence, and slowly said, "As if you're anything special."
Preoccupied with pleasing the director, Su Keke failed to detect the trap in Mu Qingli's words and replied directly, "Of course I'm someone!"
Hearing this, Mu Qingli feigned surprise, "Oh, so you're not a person, you're a 'someone'."
At this statement, the others couldn't hold back and burst into light laughter.
Only then did Su Keke realize she had been played by this village girl. Her complexion turned from red to green with anger.
So many people were here, and she had been tricked by a simple village girl, especially in front of Lin Hangzhi.
Lin Hangzhi would surely think she was a fool, even lesser than a village girl!
The woman next to Su Keke discreetly stepped back, aware that the "gun fires on the bird that sticks its head out." Su Keke was indeed a fool.
"How dare you talk to me like that! Do you know who I am?" Su Keke's eyes were filled with fury as she glared at Mu Qingli, her look fierce as if she wanted to devour her.
Although the Su Family's status in Imperial City wasn't all that prominent, in a backward rural area, they were practically deity-like!
Where did such a deprived little village girl get the nerve to talk to her like that?

Mu Qingli looked at Su Keke, with undisguised mockery in her eyes, and spoke indifferently, "Although I don't know who you are, I do know this isn't your home, and you are certainly not my daughter!"
Do you really think everyone is your mother? That they all have to indulge you?
Su Keke felt like her eyes were shooting fire! She wasn't foolish, and she clearly understood the meaning behind Mu Qingli's words! Being humiliated in front of so many people today was a truly face-losing moment! Thankfully, the cameras hadn't captured this scene.
This shameless little country bumpkin!
Su Keke, driven to the brink of fury, blurted out without thought, "Country folk really are country folk! Lowly, inferior people with no manners or breeding, products of harsh mountains and evil waters! Trash comes from trashy places! The likes of you are just wasting the nation's resources by existing! You're simply a disgrace to China!"
Mu Qingli, unfazed, simply watched Su Keke as she said in a calm tone, "Articulate yet the words you spew are filthy, beautiful on the outside but a mess inside, heh, you really bring honor to the people of China." Pausing, Mu Qingli continued, "Since you think the countryside is so terrible, why do you keep eagerly running here? It would be something if you had the courage to stay away!"
Su Keke felt as if her face were being loudly slapped, so she could only resort to looking towards Director Chen with a pitiful expression, "Director…"
After all, she had spoken those words to stand up for the director; one way or another, Director Chen should help her out.
Director Chen himself was disappointed to the extreme, this Chen Keke usually seemed quite clever, yet who would have thought her IQ could be so low!
Looking down on a country girl!
Humiliating! Absolutely humiliating!
It's simply losing the face of city dwellers! One rotten mouse droppings spoil the whole pot of porridge.
Fortunately, this wasn't a live broadcast.
Originally, he had wanted to give Su Keke a promotion, but now it seemed unnecessary.
"Shut your mouth!" Director Chen scolded in a low voice.
Seeing Director Chen react this way, Su Keke had no choice but to unwillingly keep quiet, but when she looked at Mu Qingli again, her eyes seemed to burn with fire!
If looks could kill, Mu Qingli would have been dead hundreds of times over.
Director Chen turned to Mu Qingli with a jolly expression, "Young lady, Su Keke is young and doesn't know any better, don't stoop to her level."
Mu Qingli responded nonchalantly, "Neuropsychiatric patients are protected by law; who would bother to lower themselves to argue with her?"
Upon hearing this, Su Keke's face turned red, "Hey! Who are you calling crazy?"
Mu Qingli surveyed Su Keke with a smile in her eyes, her words laden with meaning: "Isn't someone already taking it personally?"
Su Keke's complexion shifted upon hearing this.
"You dare call me crazy! Say it again!" Su Keke trembled with rage.
Mu Qingli smiled slightly, "From the beginning, I had not mentioned Su Keke even half a word; it's you who insisted on taking it personally."
And indeed, when Mu Qingli said these words, her manner was somewhat arrogant, as though she was saying, "How about you come and hit me!?"
"You lowlife!" Su Keke felt like she was about to have a heart attack.
"Who are you calling a lowlife?" Mu Qingli asked, her hands clasped in front of her, still smiling.
"The lowlife is obviously you!" Su Keke retorted without a second thought.
Compared to Su Keke's raging anger, Mu Qingli was the picture of calm, as if she weren't the one provoking the argument.
Hearing this, all Mu Qingli said, in a nonchalant tone, was, "Oh, so it's a lowlife who is talking to me."
"Pfft! Hahaha!" Someone nearby couldn't hold back their laughter.
