"Ms. Cheng," the masseuse said with a professional smile, "is this pressure alright?"
Cheng Xuerou felt much more relaxed instantly and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's fine."
"Please let me know if you need anything. We will be happy to serve you, Ms. Cheng!"
Cheng Xuerou smiled, feeling much better.
Before coming to this club, she had been filming day and night for two days and was so exhausted that she was about to vomit blood. However, Tang Yilan had to rush the schedule, and those scenes were all scenes with Wenwen.
Who is Wenwen? After that slap, she's determined not to let Cheng Xuerou off the hook again.
So Cheng Xuerou wanted to change roles and didn't want to act with Wenwen, but the whole crew laughed at her.
Tang Yilan merely glanced at her indifferently and said, "You only have this one role. You can act if you want, or terminate the contract if you don't! I, Tang Yilan, don't lack this little bit of money."
Now Cheng Xuerou was even more convinced that everyone had teamed up to bully her.
She called Ye Chen, pitifully recounting her ordeal, but Ye Chen advised her on the other end: "Xue Rou, you're just starting out, so you must be humble and get along well with the crew... Yi Lan is a very talented director; as long as you're willing to work hard, she'll make you famous."
Cheng Xuerou slammed down the phone in anger. After work, she posted a Weibo post complaining about the unfair treatment she received. Nancy noticed in time and gave her a stern warning: "Cheng Xuerou, if you don't want to work here anymore, just say so. Don't ruin my job too! How dare you post something like this? Do you want to offend everyone in the industry? Delete it!"
Cheng Xuerou reluctantly deleted the Weibo post, but even though it was posted less than a minute ago, quite a few people have seen it.
This includes Huo Zhiyan, who thrives on chaos.
"Cheng Xuerou...is that the young singer who was almost blacklisted by Huo Zhixing?"
"Yes, young master. She's the one that Attorney Ye has a crush on!"
"Ha, that bastard Ye Chen, he won't listen to reason, so he'll have to suffer the consequences!" Huo Zhiyan held all her resentment against Ye Chen whenever she thought about the scene of being beaten up in the parking lot.
The subordinate immediately understood, and asked, his eyes darting around, "Young Master, shall we get rid of him?"
"No need!" Huo Zhiyan smiled. "We need to continue to curry favor with Ye Chen!"
"this……"
"How stupid!" Huo Zhiyan glared. "He's Huo Zhixing's lackey, and also an important pawn for us! If we can win him over, dealing with Huo Zhixing will be a piece of cake!"
Therefore, Cheng Xuerou is an essential and crucial element in winning over Ye Chen.
This led to the scene where Cheng Xuerou was taken to a private club.
"Miss Cheng," the masseuse said respectfully, stepping aside, "all massage services are now complete. Please proceed to the restaurant; the young master has prepared a late-night snack for you."
"And... a late-night snack?" Cheng Xuerou was overjoyed.
"Yes. The young master originally wanted to use it with you, but he has some things to take care of and will have to wait a while."
"Oh, it's alright!" Cheng Xuerou said with a fawning smile. "Thank you so much for your hospitality, young master. I'll go get some late-night snacks now..."
However, before he could finish speaking, a high-pitched woman's voice could be heard outside.
"What do you mean? Don't you recognize me?! Why won't you let me in?!"
"Miss Jiang, the young master said that today..."
"I think you all want to die today!"
Cheng Xuerou was taken aback. The next second, she saw a fierce-looking woman in red strut in on ten-centimeter high heels.
She had seen that red dress before; it was a limited edition from a top international brand, but it seemed to have been altered, as the original didn't have such a low-cut design.
"Miss Jiang, this..." The waiters panicked, glancing at Cheng Xuerou and then at Jiang Yao, hesitant to speak.
Cheng Xuerou was taken aback. Miss Jiang?
Why is it that Yufeng Media already has one Ms. Jiang, and now they have another one?
Jiang Yao also looked at her, her gaze gradually shifting from initial confusion to jealousy and anger.
"Ha, so the young master wouldn't let me come because of this vixen?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xuerou was furious, but before she could retort, Jiang Yao slapped her across the face!
"You bitch!"
Jiang Yao is not a delicate movie queen. Even movie queens have an element of acting when they hit people, but Jiang Yao's fighting ability to tear people apart was cultivated by Yao Manning back then.
"Shameless slut! You think you can seduce the young master? I'll tear you to shreds today, and see if you still dare to flirt with him!"
"Ah! Let me go!"
The two started fighting, and the club was in chaos. Screams, insults, and smashing noises mingled together, creating a unique scene at the foot of Minghuang Mountain.
No one dared to intervene, nor did they know how, so they could only watch helplessly as the two tore at each other. Cheng Xuerou was no match for Jiang Yao at all, and soon she was defeated with a bruised and swollen face. Finally, Jiang Yao punched her in the chest, causing her silicone implants to tremble twice. She was so frightened that she quickly covered herself with her hands.
Before arriving, Jiang Yao had inhaled some of Huo Zhiyan's "good stuff," making her incredibly energetic. She suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Xuerou's hair tightly.
Cheng Xuerou let out a painful wail.
Fearing things would escalate, everyone rushed forward to intervene, creating a chaotic scene. Suddenly, someone coughed loudly, and the room instantly quieted down.
Huo Zhiyan walked in from outside with a gloomy face, and everyone dared not breathe.
Only Jiang Yao continued pulling her hair.
Cheng Xuerou's face contorted in pain.
"What are you doing!" Huo Zhiyan's tone changed completely. "Are you sick?!"
Jiang Yao loosened her grip and timidly called out, "Zhiyan..."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cheng Xuerou broke free from her grasp, crying uncontrollably, and buried her head in Huo Zhiyan's arms.
"Young Master..."
The voice was both aggrieved and charming, enough to melt the bones of most men, but Huo Zhiyan stared at Cheng Xuerou with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
What's going on? He invited her to a private club to win over Ye Chen!
It's not about letting her act flirtatious in front of him!
"Zhiyan, you!" Jiang Yao looked at the two of them in disbelief, her eyes red-rimmed.
Because of the drugs, Jiang Yao was momentarily overwhelmed and charged at Huo Zhiyan. This resulted in a three-way brawl, causing all the valuable ornaments in the club to fall to the ground and shatter.
In the end, Huo Zhiyan called the security guards to quell the fight.
"Take this madwoman away!" He pointed at Jiang Yao, his face pale with anger. "Lock her up, and don't give her any food without my order!"
Cheng Xuerou was secretly pleased and clung to Huo Zhiyan even more tightly.
However, Huo Zhiyan had no time for romance. After dealing with Jiang Yao, he was about to push her away when he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure at the door...
Huo Zhiyan was stunned.
The man walked slowly, his footsteps low and deep. His gaze swept over Cheng Xuerou, lingering on her for a moment.
"Ha, Ye... Ye Chen!" Huo Zhiyan suddenly pushed Cheng Xuerou away, leaving her several feet away. "What a rare guest! What brings you here at this time?"
