See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 225

Chapter 225 You Are Fired

The director was preparing to hold a meeting with everyone to standardize the future process.

Unexpectedly, a young man suddenly barged in, followed by a bodyguard.

“Hey, who are you? Get out, get out!”

A crew member who didn’t know Greyson shouted.

Greyson surveyed the people in the conference room and said to the staff, “I’m here for the meeting, you shut up.”

The staff member was a bit stunned, “Who are you? What meeting are you here for? What business do you have here?”

Rebecca and Vera both stood up, did the young, handsome man seem to realize something?

Even more annoyed, he said, “Director, are we going to start now or not? If any Tom, Dick, or Harry can barge into our meeting room, what’s the difference between us and a vegetable market?”

The director also looked at Greyson with a bewildered face. The representative from Prospect Capital came over, “This is our Mr. Byrne, he fully represents the investors. Does anyone else have any objections?”

“Oh! He was actually the investor?”

The people who were just talking nonsense a moment ago suddenly fell silent, even the young male actor shut his mouth.

He did have some background, otherwise the director wouldn’t have given him face.

But even the most talented actor wouldn’t be foolish enough to pick a fight with the investors.

Unless you had already become globally famous, a superstar without any constraints.

Investors could only listen to you, letting you do whatever you wanted.

He was far too lacking in this area, merely a product hyped up by packaging and promotion.

The crew members, upon hearing that it was the investors, instinctively stepped aside.

The director stood up, “Good, Mr. Byrne!”

Greyson waved his hand, “The director has worked hard!”

“Didn’t Xiao Zuo and Xiao Lu cause you any trouble?”

“No, no!”

The director kept shaking his head, he also couldn’t figure out Greyson’s background. Such a young lad, and also a person from the investors, he guessed his background must be extraordinary.

Rebecca frowned upon hearing him actually refer to himself as “Little Left“.

Go ahead!

The courage grew.

They actually called me Little Left.

However, she wasn’t one to nitpick, after all, in such situations, business should be conducted professionally.

The director invited Greyson to the main seat, and Greyson, without any hesitation, swept his gaze over everyone in the conference room.

“Director, why did we suddenly stop working when we were filming so well today?”

“Wasn’t the venue funding money?”

“Whose idea was this?”

Coming here to film required paying a location fee, and it was calculated on a daily basis!

The director had originally planned to finish shooting this scene today and move to a new location tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, the male actor suddenly posed a difficult question for himself.

Seeing Greyson ask about this, he understood that Greyson might have known everything that happened today.

However, the director did not directly blame the male actor, but tactfully said, “Due to some minor misunderstandings, we need to

communicate again, so we will take a half–day break and come back for a meeting.”

Greyson lit a cigarette, “I heard someone has been changing the rules on their own, acting like a big shot.”

His gaze swept around the room, “Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll invest an additional twenty million in the production team. Let’s fire the troublemaker from today and recast.

“Isn’t it just reshooting a few scenes? No problem, I can afford this.”

“Huh?”

In the conference room, everyone was stunned.

The director also didn’t react for a moment.

Greyson continued, “Money is not an issue for me, rules must be followed.”

“If these twenty million weren’t enough, I would add more.”

“If there was any extra money, it would be considered as a bonus for the crew members.”

“Alright then!”

The investor was willing to put up the money, so there was nothing for me to be unhappy about.

The director nodded solemnly, looking seriously at the male actor, “Theodore, you were fired.”

“What?”

“Director!”

Theodore could hardly believe that he was the only star of the entire

crew.

They actually dared to fire themselves?

He stood up angrily, “Director–”

“Don’t say anything anymore, I’ve been tolerating you for a long time.”

“You insisted on staying in the most expensive suite in the hotel, you

demanded special meals, you had to ride in a Rolls–Royce wherever you went, even the toilet had to be exclusive for you… Go on, just go!”

The director waved his hand impatiently.

Theodore was furious, “You… you guys…”

“Fine, I’m leaving, but remember, there will be times when you need me.”

After speaking, he angrily threw his hat on the table and left.

Greyson ordered, “Have the reporters write an article saying that this person was fired from the crew for acting like a big shot!”

“Alright!”

The staff should apologize.

Greyson said, “I hope this situation doesn’t happen again in the future. Whoever doesn’t follow the rules can get out!”

Then he turned around and instructed the staff, “Notify Ms. Middleton, add another twenty million to the film crew’s budget.”

“Alright!”

“Today, an extra meal was provided for all the crew members.”

“Director, I’m sorry for interrupting your work progress.”

“Shall we all go out for dinner tonight?”

As soon as they arrived, they increased their investment, which of course the director liked.

He was still hoping for such investors in the future. If he came across a good script, he could discuss it with them, and they might agree

directly.

Therefore, such a relationship must have been handled well.

“Alright, alright.”

The director instructed everyone, “Let’s call it a day then. You ladies go and prepare, we will have dinner together tonight.”

The crew consisted of dozens of people. The director originally only wanted to call on the core staff and main actors, but to his surprise, Greyson said it was okay, call everyone!

Everyone also worked hard!

He instructed the company’s staff, “You go arrange it, find the best restaurant.”

The staff immediately went to make arrangements, while Greyson returned to the room with the director to have tea and chat, getting to know the situation of the crew.

The director also found out about the relationship between Greyson and Rebecca. Janet had warned him earlier and had sent people to protect them both.

Unexpectedly, Theodore still made a mess.

This guy had ill intentions and was also self–righteous.

Actually, the director didn’t like him either, it’s just that he had connections and someone had put in a good word for him.

No matter what line of work one was in, it all depended on connections. No matter how capable a director was, he still needed

investors.

While the two were chatting, Theodore’s team called and lashed out at the director.

“You’re something, not even giving me face.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“You fired someone without even a heads–up, fine, don’t come looking for me in the future.”

The other party hung up the phone in a huff, leaving the director with nothing but a bitter smile.

This time, I completely offended someone.

But now that things had come to this, he could only grit his teeth and keep going.

The dinner was booked at Seaside Bistro, a place located over ten kilometers away from the film and television city. This meal cost Greyson over six hundred thousand.

The director stated that he wanted to partner with Prospect Capital to start a film and television company, focusing on training his own team.

In this way, he had a stable investor.

Greyson knew his intentions, saying these were not issues.

Once he finished filming this play, he could go discuss collaboration with Janet.

Both parties ended the dinner happily. After having their fill of food and drink, Greyson and Rebecca couldn’t wait to return to their hotel room to experience the feeling of being flooded with wealth.

Vera was in the next room, looking at the moon in the sky…
