TimeNovelChapter 479: Chapter 468: The Truth Exposed! Qiao Mengtong Completely Disgraced! Chapter 479: Chapter 468:
The Truth Exposed! Qiao Mengtong Completely Disgraced! “If she isn’t qualified, then no one in the world can
guide and advise me.”
Qiao Mengtong froze in place.
With that statement, could Qiao Jing be shidden, well-known director?
No! How could that be possible!
How could Qiao Jing possibly have the ability to guide Director Gu?
She had known Qiao Jing since childhood, albeit as adversaries, and knew exactly what Qiao Jing was capable of,
which definitely wasn’t much!
“Director Gu, you—"
She hadn't finished her sentence when Gu Yunchen interrupted her.
“Change the lead actress, you can leave now.”
Qiao Mengtong shuddered violently, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
“What? Director Gu, why so sudden? Have | not been performing well these past few days?”
She had barely managed to get this opportunity from the assistant director, during which she constantly tried to
ingratiate herself with him, all for the sake of securing the role of the female lead.
She wanted to ride the wave of success from Gu Yunchen’s film, and now, after a normal few days of filming,
they wanted to replace her?!
She absolutely couldn't lose this chance to rise to fame!
But... Director Gu had always been reserved and spoke little while filming and only pointed out issues when
necessary, yet he had spoken so much with Qiao Jing just now.
The few words she had heard Gu Yunchen speak over the past few days were not even close to the number he
had exchanged with Qiao Jing.
Moreover, Qiao Jing called Director Gu “Third,” clearly indicating a deep relationship!
Regardless, she had to play the sympathy card and try to salvage any opportunity she could; otherwise, she was
going to be replaced.
“Director Gu, was it because you sawraise my hand earlier? | can explain that, she was the one who insulted
Gu Yunchen gave Qiao Mengtong a cold glance.
“Terminate the contract and replace her.”
Just then, other staff members and actors, curious about why Gu Yunchen had been away so long, cover
from the backstage.

The moment they arrived, they heard Gu Yunchen’s statement and their faces registered surprise
simultaneously.
“Why suddenly change the female lead?”
“Director Gu must have his reasons for changing the female lead.”
“I actually think it's a good change; Qiao Mengtong’s acting isn’t that great, she messed up so many takes just
earlier.”
“Lettell you, it’s not just her acting that’s not up to scratch; she’s been acting all high and mighty just
because she’s the lead.”
All the murmuring around her rang in Qiao Mengtong’s ears, her complexion now as ugly as a painter's palette.
Her face flushed and paled by turns, her fists clenched tightly as she forced a few tears out.
“Director Gu, I've been filming for several days now, changing actors so suddenly seems rather abrupt, doesn’t
it? My performance hasn’t had major issues either! If you're really not satisfied, | can keep trying until you are.”
After saying this, she stealthily glared at the people gossiping nearby.
Why did these people have to cover and stir things up at this time?!
If she was going to be replaced, she could just sneak away quietly; now with so many witnesses, where could she
even hide her face?!
Gu Yunchen glanced at Qiao Mengtong and spoke slowly, his words casting her into Hell.
“Your acting, not even matching sextras, botched dozens of takes today, and you still think you performed
without issues?
| don’t know what dealings you had with the assistant director, but I've already proposed terminating the
contract. | want a replacement, don’t makerepeat myself.”
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he was clearly aware of whatever deal Qiao
Mengtong had struck with the assistant director.
He reluctantly maintained the facade on account of the co-productions he had shared with the assistant director.
But now, Qiao Mengtong had dared to challenge the boss he respected—he would definitely not give the
assistant director any more concessions.
Qiao Mengtong’s body started to tremble, her eyes widened as she looked at the assistant director with a
pleading gaze.
How could this be!
How could Director Gu have found out about her and the assistant director!
Now that Director Gu had spoken so, what would she do if the assistant director didn’t help her!
The assistant director pretended not to see, and took a few steps back, hiding in the crowd.
Qiao Jing hadn't spoken at all, standing beside Gu Yunchen and watching how he dealt with the matter.
After all, she was just visiting the set, not a part of this ’s staff.
When she heard the youngest’s last statement, she wasn’t surprised at all.
She knew what kind of person Qiao Mengtong was—if the performance wasn’t up to par, the youngest would
definitely not choose Qiao Mengtong.
If it was said that she got the role of the female protagonist through the assistant director, then it would make
perfect sense.
The expressions on the faces of the onlooking staff and actors becsomewhat subtle.
“Director Gu hit the nail on the head with that statement,” said one.
“So that’s why, | wondered—how could Qiao Mengtong, with that acting skill, have been chosen as the lead?”
“Exactly, she thought she was all that as the female lead, not even deigning to look people in the eye, not
realizing she climbed up using dirty means.”
Hearing this, Qiao Mengtong’s face grew even uglier. She looked up only to meet Qiao Jing’s cold gaze and that
aloof aura, all of which were provoking her.
She resentfully averted her gaze and began looking for the assistant director in the crowd. Seeing his timid
demeanor, she blurted out furiously:
“Assistant director, why aren't you speaking up fornow?”
When she had curried favor with the
assistant director before, he adn
constantly gesuretiet fe would
ehslite she got the female lead role
and would support her rise to fame.
And now he actually thought of disowning her?
The assistant director hadn't expected Qiao Mengtong to call him out publicly and was so angry that his face
turned red.
“Qiao Mengtong, shut up! No one can influence Director Gu’s decisions! | have nothing to do with you!”
They were already in an improper relationship. By bringing it up now, was Qiao Mengtong aiming to sabotage
them both!?
Bringing this into the open, being exposed thereafter, Qiao Mengtong could forget about surviving in the
entertainment industry ever again!

And she still thought to drag him down with her?
In her dreams!
Speople had already started recording with their phones. Qiao Mengtong quickly covered her face with her
hands, trying to hide herself completely.
Qiao Jing noticed this scene and frowned.
“Youngest, don’t spread this matter, otherwise it will affect your new ,” he said.
If Qiao Mengtong had just been a minor role, someone who climbed up using any staffer, it wouldn't matter if it
got exposed.

Gu Yunchen also thought of this and frowned.
“Delete the videos and terminate the contract with Qiao Mengtong. As for the assistant director...”
The assistant director, hearing this, immediately started pleading for himself.
“Director Gu, | was just confused for
a moment. Please, aay our
