"My only request is that I get paid back tenfold for the amount of slaps she has written in the script you gave Qiao Anhao!"
Lu Jinnian only used a single "she" to replace Lin Shiyi. His expression spoke that it wasn't even worth calling her by the name.
Pay back tenfold... implied that he had to think of a way for Qiao Anhao's character to slap Lin Shiyi several times over, because she had thrown money away to change the script just to slap Qiao Anhao's character.
So to speak... Lu Jinnian didn't cut her screen time at all?
Lin Shiyi sat in her own seat with her chin slightly raised, and thought about that.
She couldn't mess with Lu Jinnian. In fact, he had previously made her suffer enough, but no matter how bad it got, she would just be cast out. She didn't need to be like the others, in a sense that she needn't kiss up to Lu Jinnian to survive in the industry.
