Chapter 612 Only for a Bandit

Chapter 612 Only for a Bandit

Lin Zhi sighed in frustration as he arrived at Laohu's large apartment.

Then, he screamed like a little child throwing a tantrum, holding himself back from throwing his boss' expensive items to the wall.

"You should really learn how to control your temper," Laohu said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Lin Zhi closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. "Did you see the news?" he asked after a while.

"Of course I did," Laohu said. "June's back on his feet, isn't he?"

"And Director Bong is being investigated for money laundering and tax evasion," Lin Zhi added.

Laohu pursed his lips and nodded.

"It's strange," Laohu muttered, tapping his fingernails on the marble countertop.

"June is strange," he continued.

Lin Zhi's eyes narrowed. "I believe there's more to him than what meets the eye. No matter how hard we try, it seems like we can never bring him down."

"He was a nobody in Rising Stars—one who didn't even have a company backing him up," Lin Zhi said.

"He has been powerful since then," Laohu said, making Lin Zhi's eyebrows furrow.

"Why else did you think he got to first place?" he asked.

Lin Zhi's eyebrows raised in surprise.

"Are you saying that he was the one who rigged himself into the upper rankings?" he asked in a hopeful tone.

"No," Laohu answered. "His ranking was genuine."

Lin Zhi clicked his tongue, feeling bitter that June was able to gain those votes without unfair plays.

"What do you mean by that, then?" Lin Zhi asked.

"June didn't rig his votes; however, there are factors as to how he was able to make it to the top."

"Don't you find it strange how he had a connection with Choi Pablo right away? Or how did he know the owner of the third-party voting team responsible during Rising Stars?"

"And now, he was able to expose Director Bong for his past wrongdoings," he chuckled.

"There must be something going on," Laohu muttered.

"June knows more than what an average idol does...almost like he has somebody helping him," he added.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Lin Zhi asked.

Laohu sighed before standing straight.

Early in the morning, Risa set up a meeting with Director Jam in the conference room.

"Risa," Director Jam greeted as he entered the room. "You called for a meeting?"

"Yes, Director," Risa smiled, hoping it would put him in a good mood.

"Well, what is it? The shoot is going to start soon. We will be filming Yian's backstory today."

Risa let out a deep breath and smiled before talking.

"I know that you said the script is already final," she started off.

"But the script isn't final until the movie has premiered, right?"

Director Jam sighed, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Risa, I can only accept minor changes in the script. The script is there for a reason—it makes the filming process more systematic."

Risa scratched the back of her head.

"Well, it is a minor change for a minor character," Risa said.

"Is it for June?" he asked.

Risa nodded excitedly. "The reaction from the public is very good, and I'm afraid they would be disappointed if June does not have enough screen time."

Director Jam pursed his lips, looking RIsa in the eyes.

"We can't just change Jian's character because his actor is popular. If that was the case, then other actors should have more lines, too."

Risa cast her head to the ground. But June was the most popular cast member of the movie at the moment!

"I'm sure your husband has already told you before," Director Jam continued. "I rarely add any scenes unless I feel that it is crucial for the storyline. I don't do it for the actor at all."

"Besides, Jian is a minor character. I believe his screentime is enough."

"But—" Risa tried to argue, but Director Jam continued speaking.

"I don't even do these things for big actors like Taehyun and Hana, so I'm not going to do it just for June."

Risa pursed her lips and sighed in disappointment.

"So, you aren't willing to add any scenes for the sake of the actors?"

"No—," Director Jam started off. However, he realized that he had a soft spot for one particular actor—one he didn't even know the name of.

If he were to meet him again, then he would definitely be the first actor who could change his mind.

"A bandit," he muttered.

"I can do it for a bandit."
