Outside, the event had already started five minutes before Rosie finally arrived.
People were already unhappy with her diva-like behavior, and now their disgust was written all over their faces.
"Teacher Luo, why are you so late! Everyone was ready and waiting for you!"
The director was both angry and helpless.
This actress is someone you can't hit or scold, and she's the female lead chosen by the investor; there's absolutely nothing he can do about her.
Agent Wang quickly stepped forward and pulled the director aside to apologize:
"Director Song, I'm so sorry, our Xixi had a bit of an upset stomach earlier, and we've kept everyone waiting!"
"We've already wasted so much time, everyone hurry up and get on stage, don't keep the fans waiting!"
Upon hearing this, the director could only suppress his anger and tell everyone to get ready to go on stage.
We're all actors; maintaining a semblance of peace is a piece of cake.
As soon as they stepped on stage, everyone hid their dissatisfaction with Rosie and chatted and laughed.
Chu Qianjue also did his best to cooperate with Luo Xi's after-sales service, hoping to make the drama fans as happy as possible.
However, the audience's reaction was lukewarm when he interacted with Rosie, but the screams from the audience were deafening when he spoke to Zhao Xuanxuan.
The host also keenly captured the points that everyone liked, and kept cuing Chu Qianjue and Zhao Xuanxuan to interact in the second half of the show.
Lu Qing sat in the audience, rubbing her ears from time to time, which were being tormented by the screams.
She and Gu Fei were the only fake fans in the entire venue. While everyone else was busy screaming, the two of them were busy playing Snake and hardly looked up at all.
Chu Qianjue glanced over every now and then, and seeing that his sister didn't even look at him, he sighed helplessly.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuanxuan couldn't help but laugh and whispered in his ear:
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy because your sister ignored you?"
Chu Qianjue laughed and said, "No way! I just thought we should have let Qingqing and Feifei go backstage to play. Look at those two, they can't even play a game in peace."
The audience once again captured the two whispering in each other's ears, giving the CP fans a huge sense of satisfaction.
Originally, in the drama, the fourth female lead played by Zhao Xuanxuan and Chu Qianjue were supposed to have a tragic ending. Now, seeing how good their relationship is off-screen, fans can't help but shed tears.
"Although Zhao Xuanxuan's reputation wasn't great before, I think she and Jue Ge are a perfect match!"
"I heard they'll be co-starring as the male and female leads in their next drama. They're probably already on set. No wonder they're so close!"
"I think there's something going on between them! Look at the way Jue-ge looks at her, he's practically drooling!"
"Although I only support Jue Ge and have no feelings for Zhao Xuanxuan, we respect Jue Ge. As long as he doesn't have any scandals, I have no objection to Zhao Xuanxuan becoming my sister-in-law!"
"..."
The fans below cheered for Chu Qianjue and Zhao Xuanxuan, completely forgetting the real female lead, Luo Xi.
At this point, the host mentioned the game's format, requiring everyone to come down from the stage to participate in the game and interact with the audience.
Zhao Xuanxuan was wearing a long skirt and high heels, which made it very inconvenient for her to go down the stairs.
Upon seeing this, Rosie immediately had an idea.
She quickened her pace and grabbed Chu Qianjue's arm:
"Brother Jue, can you help me up? It's inconvenient for me to wear a skirt!"
After all, she was the female lead, so even though Chu Qianjue was unwilling, he politely helped her up.
Rosie walked ahead, separating Chu Qianjue and Zhao Xuanxuan, making it impossible for him to help Zhao Xuanxuan.
Rosie wanted Zhao Xuanxuan to be left unattended.
As Zhao Xuanxuan reached the last staircase, Rosie stepped on the hem of her dress.
Caught off guard, Zhao Xuanxuan was tugged by the hem of her skirt, lost her balance, and sat down on the steps with a thud.
The fall wasn't serious, but her strapless dress was pulled down.
With so many cameras on site, if she gets caught on camera, Zhao Xuanxuan will be trending again tomorrow.
There might even be people who buy articles claiming she deliberately exposed herself to grab attention.
Just as Rosie was gloating over Zhao Xuanxuan's embarrassment, Chu Qianjue shoved her aside, strode towards Zhao Xuanxuan, and used his body to block the camera.
"Are you alright?" Chu Qianjue asked hurriedly.
Zhao Xuanxuan gripped her dress tightly, which was about to fall off, and gritted her teeth, saying:
"I'm fine!"
Lu Qing and Gu Fei also heard the strange noise and immediately stopped playing the game.
"What happened?" Lu Qing asked Leng Wei.
Leng Wei said angrily in a low voice, "It was Rosie! She deliberately stepped on Zhao Xuanxuan's dress!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than one of Rosie's die-hard fans angrily retorted from behind:
"Who are you! What makes you think Sisi did it on purpose!"
"Are your eyes just for venting your anger? Everyone here could see what just happened. She didn't do it on purpose!" Leng Wei said angrily.
"Sisi did step on it, but it was an accident. How can you accuse her of doing it on purpose?"
Leng Wei: "Whether it was intentional or not, you can tell from her expression! If it wasn't intentional, who would step on someone and then not only not apologize, but also smile like that!"
"Our Sisi hadn't even realized what was happening yet. Zhao Xuanxuan fell so comically, what's wrong with her laughing a little!"
"you……"
Leng Wei wanted to say something, but Gu Fei stopped her.
"Weiwei, don't argue with this brainless person. Let's solve the problem first!"
Zhao Xuanxuan's skirt ripped open, and Chu Qianjue was about to take off his own clothes and put them on her, but she refused.
Because Chu Qianjue was only wearing one piece of clothing, if she really took it off, who knows what the media would say about her tomorrow!
She was terrified by what happened last time and didn't want to trend on social media in such a shameful way again.
Just as the two were at an impasse, Lu Qing walked over and took off his down jacket, giving it to Zhao Xuanxuan.
"Hold them off for a moment, I'll go backstage with you to change!"
"Thanks!"
Lu Qing helped Zhao Xuanxuan to the backstage, and gave Chu Qianjue a reassuring look.
After they left, Chu Qianjue turned around and looked coldly at Rosie.
When Rosie met his eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of fear washed over her.
Throughout his many years in the industry, Chu Qianjue has never lost his temper.
Even when faced with unscrupulous reporters or attacks from haters, he always maintained a gentle smile.
But today, for the first time, he turned pale in front of so many viewers and cameras, simply because Rosie had gone too far.
"If this happens again, I guarantee you won't be able to stay in this industry!"
Chu Qianjue's voice was very low, so low that only Luo Xi and a few people next to him could hear it.
Everyone was somewhat surprised, but most were just looking forward to seeing what would happen.
Rosie has always been disliked, but she has to put up with it because of the capital behind her. However, in Kyoto, no amount of capital can surpass the power of the Chu and Gu families.
The Chu family behind Chu Qianjue is already enough to give Luo Xi's backer a hard time, not to mention the Gu family as well.
Rosie never expected that her simple act of mischief towards Zhao Xuanxuan would actually make Chu Qianjue hate her.
She originally thought that Chu Qian was just doing business with Zhao Xuanxuan, but now it seems that she was wrong.
