Bai Qianmo glanced thoughtfully at Assistant Director Zhao, knowing that asking any more questions would yield no results.

She had no prior grudge against Zhao Qiang, so the fact that she was deliberately made things difficult for him today must be because someone was behind it.

Watching Bai Qianmo leave the studio

Assistant Director Zhao snorted contemptuously and said to his assistant, "See? There are plenty of ways to wear down a little bitch like that."

The assistant chuckled: "I must say, Bai Qianmo is really pretty. Don't you have any other thoughts in mind?"

Zhao Qiang pulled his shirt collar tighter, his middle-aged belly tucked in, and his whole demeanor became greasy and sleazy.

"You can't rush things with this kind of woman. Let her cool off for a few days. When she gets anxious, she'll naturally come begging to me. Hehe, then this little brat will be completely at my mercy."

The assistant flattered, "Tsk tsk, Director Zhao, your methods are truly brilliant."

Outside the photography studio

Bai Qianmo leaned against the door frame, her eyes narrowed as she listened to the conversation inside, a cold smile curving her lips.

*

Zhao Qiang drove to the entrance of an upscale bar.

After making a phone call, I parked the car and went straight inside.

The bar was brightly lit and eerily noisy.

Chen Qiang walked into a relatively quiet partitioned room, where three people were already sitting.

There was one man and two women. The man was in his forties, with a thin face, narrow eyes, and upturned corners, giving him a smug and gloomy look.

On either side of him sat a young and beautiful girl, around twenty years old, dressed in sexy and revealing clothes, with her long white legs crossed and half of her body nestled in the man's arms.

The man looked satisfied, embracing both women on his left and right, and kissed one of them on the cheek.

"Brother Liu, you're really in high spirits!" As soon as Zhao Qiang walked in, his gaze lewdly fell on the two beauties on either side.

Liu Honglei chuckled and gently patted the beautiful woman's shoulder with the hand that was on her arm.

"Quickly call him Brother Zhao."

Two girls looked at Zhao Qiang with seductive eyes and called him "Brother Zhao" in a sweet voice.

Zhao Qiang felt his heart melt at the word "brother," and he quickly sat down and pulled one of the beauties into his arms.

The beautiful woman then placed her hands on the man's chest.

What followed was an indescribable, erotic scene.

After eating some tofu, Zhao Qiang picked up his wine glass and drank a few cups with Liu Honglei.

"Brother Liu, I've done everything you asked me to do. Bai Qianmo was left out in the studio all day, and she looked really angry when she left."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the girl's slender waist in his arms and began to fondle her body.

Liu Honglei's face revealed a sinister and malicious smile. He sneered, "Heh, that little girl is too arrogant to know her place. It's time for her to learn the rules of this circle. If she causes trouble, she has to pay the price for her stupidity."

He still remembers the grudge that Bai Qianmo made him lose face in front of everyone last time.

Unexpectedly, I learned from Zhou Hongwei yesterday that Bai Qianmo was personally chosen by Cui Jinsheng to play the fourth female lead in "The Phoenix's Journey".

Once this girl becomes famous, it won't be easy to deal with her again.

After much deliberation, Liu Honglei decided to strike first and ruin Bai Qianmo's reputation before she even appeared in the TV series.

Zhao Qiang chuckled: "Brother Liu is President Zhou's cousin. If you want to deal with that brat Bai Qianmo, it's just a matter of lifting a finger, isn't it? Hehe, speaking of which, Bai Qianmo's face is really beautiful. Don't you have any pity for her, brother?"

"What, you've taken a fancy to it?"

"If Brother Liu agrees..."

Zhao Qiang rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with lust, looking extremely excited.

"This girl is a wild horse. If you can tame her, you can ride her however you like."

"Hehe, then thank you in advance, Brother Liu, for your kindness!"

In the other private room separated by partition

At this moment, the silence is so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Xie Siming and Jiang Nanyan both turned their gazes toward the man opposite them.

The private room was dimly lit, with twinkling starlight.

The man's tall figure was hidden in the darkness, and his expression was not visible. Only a chilling aura emanated from him.

His arm rested lightly on the sofa armrest, his slender fingers holding a cigarette.

The sparks moved slowly up and down with the man's smoking motion.

"My lord, should we go over there and teach those two bastards a lesson?" Xie Siming always preferred to settle things with his fists.

Gu Jueye remained silent. On the other side of the partition, the two men had already changed the subject.

Their conversation was quite explicit, with them occasionally harassing the two young girls who were serving them drinks, and finally making obscene remarks about how long it would take to satisfy a woman.

Jiangnan Yan chuckled: "Those two old geezers are quite lewd. People like them who indulge in excessive sex probably need drugs to enhance their pleasure."

They chatted idly for a while longer.

When Liu Honglei suggested going to a hotel, the two girls readily agreed.

Then came a series of light, soft footsteps.

Inside this private room

The man silently flicked away his cigarette butt, then slowly pulled out a tissue and wiped his hands.

His tall figure stood up from the soft leather sofa: "Let's go."

Xie Siming and Jiang Nanyan immediately followed.

Actually, those two were just bragging in private; they didn't really do anything to the young lady.

They were just unlucky; they happened to be overheard by the wrong person while they were bragging.

Zhao Qiang and Liu Honglei each left the bar with a beautiful woman in their arms.
