The woman was good-looking and had a great figure, and she always had an air of superiority about her, with the directors and producers constantly flattering her.
"Sister Rong, it's been so long! I've missed you so much."
"Yes, you'll have to come and support us more often on these occasions in the future."
"This is my business card. Please take care of me. Your husband is my idol."
Zhou Guirong, a celebrity, originally relied on scandals and sex scandals to boost her popularity, but two years ago she married a powerful man.
Now that she's out, a bunch of people are fawning over her, after all, she now owns her own entertainment company and her husband is a very powerful figure. If you want to make it in the entertainment circle in Yanjing, you have to be mindful of her.
The woman, aloof and oblivious to the flattery, stopped when she caught sight of Lin Nianwei: "Lin Nianwei?"
"Sister Rong, it's me. Long time no see," Lin Nianwei greeted with a smile.
The two had worked in the same film crew before, so they knew each other, but they had some minor disagreements.
"I say these industry exchange meetings are getting more and more despicable," Zhou Guirong scoffed. "Are they inviting just anyone?"
"This... Sister Rong, it's my fault. The people below are unreliable. I'll deal with them later."
The organizers looked embarrassed. Lin Nianwei's fame and status were enough to warrant an invitation. It wasn't appropriate to bring their feud here.
But the organizers didn't dare say anything, after all, this woman's husband was no ordinary man.
"Don't push everything onto your subordinates." Zhou Guirong snorted, then strode over to Lin Nianwei with an air of indifference: "Lin Nianwei, I heard you've started your own business?"
"I have a small company in Tianhai. Now that I'm in Yanjing, I'll have to rely on Sister Rong for help," Lin Nianwei said with a smile.
“Take care of me? Weren’t you pretty arrogant back on set?” Zhou Guirong raised an eyebrow: “If you want me to take care of you, then apologize to me in public now.”
The two did have some friction back then, but it was all minor issues. Zhou Guirong wasn't as famous as Lin Nianwei, so she had to put up with it.
However, now that she feels she has a certain status, she tries every means to make things difficult for Lin Nianwei.
Lin Nianwei was stunned. She had almost forgotten what happened back then, and the two of them hadn't even fallen out. She didn't expect Zhou Guirong to be so petty as to still remember it.
However, she didn't mind. She smiled and said, "Sister Rong, I was young and ignorant back then. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way. I'm sorry."
"Your apology isn't sincere," Zhou Guirong snorted. "At least you should kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake."
The smile on Lin Nianwei's face gradually disappeared. Has this woman gone mad?
"Sister Rong, Haha still likes to joke around so much. I'll treat you to a meal another day, and Nianwei will toast you a few more times." The organizer quickly smoothed things over.
"Is it your turn to speak? Get out." Zhou Guirong frowned.
Bodyguards immediately appeared beside her and pushed the organizer aside.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone was watching to see what would happen.
"Lin Nianwei, kneel down." Zhou Guirong said with a sneer, "Kneel down and apologize, and this matter will end here. Otherwise, I guarantee you won't be able to stay in Yanjing."
"Sister Rong, what happened back then wasn't a big deal, was it? I've almost forgotten what it was about. There's no need for us to make things so tense, is there?" Lin Nianwei frowned slightly.
"Haha, I wasn't as famous as you back then, so you got the better deal. Now the tables have turned. Today you either kowtow and admit your mistake, or I'll kick you out and make sure you can't make it in Yanjing in the future."
Lin Nianwei was not one to give in easily. She nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go."
"Stop! Did I say you could leave?" Zhou Guirong hadn't expected Lin Nianwei to be so principled, trying to leave without a word.
If she really leaves, where will she put her pride?
"Whether I leave or not is my freedom, isn't it?" Lin Nianwei glanced at her.
"You won't leave here today unless you kneel down and kowtow," Zhou Guirong said sternly. "A whore who runs a company by spreading her legs, does she really think she's something special? Let me tell you, this is Yanjing, not Tianhai."
A group of bodyguards stepped forward and stopped Lin Nianwei; it seemed that this matter was unlikely to end well.
"See, it's a good thing you called me," Ye Xingchen said helplessly.
"I'm so angry I'm about to cry, and you're not even going to help me." Lin Nianwei trembled with anger as she said aggrievedly.
"Alright, it's nothing." Ye Xingchen smiled and stepped forward.
A bodyguard reached out to stop him.
However, Ye Xingchen completely ignored the hand that the guy was extending. He took a step forward and slightly touched his shoulder.
A master of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm can't take a single Mountain-Pulling Leaning Technique lightly.
The bodyguard felt a jolt in his body, then fell backward with a thud, crashing into the wall and passing out.
"Protect Madam!" a group of bodyguards shouted, surrounding Zhou Guirong.
"And who are you?" Zhou Guirong was almost bursting with anger. In the Yanjing circle, who dared to go against her? Were they crazy?
"You don't need to know who I am. I'll just ask you one question: do you really want her to kowtow and admit her mistake today?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“If she doesn’t kowtow and admit her mistake, I guarantee she’ll disappear from Yanjing tomorrow. You can try me if you don’t believe me.” Zhou Guirong raised her head, extremely arrogant.
"You seem quite confident." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Nonsense, don't you know who my husband is? If you mess with me, my husband will make sure you disappear from Yanjing tomorrow," Zhou Guirong sneered.
"Who is your husband?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“A nobody like you isn’t worthy to know my husband’s name.” Zhou Guirong glanced at Ye Xingchen with extreme disdain.
Snap...
Ye Xingchen suddenly raised his head and slapped her across the face in mid-air.
"Ah..." Zhou Guirong screamed, and half of her face immediately swelled up.
Ye Xingchen was still several meters away from her, and she had no idea how Ye Xingchen had slapped her.
She looked at Ye Xingchen in disbelief: "You dare hit me?"
Snap...
Ye Xingchen's slap was even harder, sending her flying several meters away. She fell to the ground with a thud and didn't get up for a long time.
Ye Xingchen slapped away several bodyguards surrounding the woman, then walked up to her.
"I'm curious who your husband is. Why don't we invite him out for a chat?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
Zhou Guirong saw stars and struggled for a long time before she could finally sit up.
Her mind was a little fuzzy, and when she touched her face, it was covered in blood.
"Ah... I'm going to kill you, I swear I'll kill you!" Zhou Guirong screamed hysterically. "You'll die a horrible death. My husband is Li Jincheng, he'll kill you."
