Chapter 2

Su Ning combined the memories of the original owner that gradually returned to his mind, and stayed alone in the bathroom for a while before he could barely put these things into perspective, and came to the above evaluation.

As far as he was concerned, the original owner was not as innocent as he thought.

Although Sang Le fell down unjustly, the secret exclusion before was indeed the result of the original owner's jealousy and connivance. He has a bad personality and poor ability but abundant camera resources. He has long been unpopular with the audience, and it is not unfair for him to be exposed by the real hammer. What's more, in order to get out of it tonight, he dragged an innocent Li Chu into it. It is enough to see that this love-minded young master is indeed incompetent and selfish. He can be called stupid and vicious. He is a standard villain and supporting role.

But it was very depressing for Su Ning, who had done nothing, to come across and face this situation.

Zhou Chunqing, who was talking to a friend outside, felt something was wrong because there had been no movement for too long, so he pushed the door open carefully. As soon as he came in, he saw Su Ning standing there, seemingly in deep thought.

The hair on his forehead was wet and was casually combed. Even this messy hair looked very beautiful under the light of the bathroom.

No wonder this guy, who has neither personality nor talent, can still securely sit in the debut position. It seems that he does not just rely on his father. Even if he fails so badly, he still has fans to help him clean up.

"Master Su, how are you?" Zhou Chunqing said obediently while complaining in his heart, "Master Jiang sent someone to look for you just now."

Su Ning frowned and turned his head slowly: "What does he want me to do?"

"I don't know. I told him that you were feeling unwell and vomiting, so he didn't come in. He told me to tell you," Zhou Chunqing answered honestly. He hesitated for a moment and repeated what he had just heard. "Young Master Jiang told you to hurry over after you finish vomiting. Otherwise, tonight's business is not over yet. Hurry up and don't drag it out."

Even though she disliked Su Ning, she still found the words a bit offensive. The little girl imitated them but stuttered and did not sound threatening at all.

Su Ning looked at her and asked, "If I don't go, they will make things difficult for you, right?"

Jiang Chenfeng originally wanted to embarrass her today. Zhou Chunqing knew in her heart that she had not come for several months because she was filming. Even if Young Master Jiang did not take her little thing seriously, he did not want her to be out of control, so she took the opportunity to give him a warning tonight.

If Su Ning doesn't succeed in this matter, Young Master Jiang will naturally be more angry with her, and she will probably have a hard time during this period.

But Zhou Chunqing didn't need to say these words to him. She remained silent, and felt that Su Ning looked at her and seemed to understand.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

When Su Ning said this, he had already walked to her side. He was tall, about 1.8 meters, half a head taller than the petite Zhou Chunqing. His eyes slowly swept across her face, and the way he looked at her with his head lowered actually showed a bit of tenderness.

In Diaochunjiang, there is actually a rich young man who would say sorry to me. Zhou Chunqing was stunned, and then he mocked himself in his heart for being such a fool, soft-hearted and only remembering to eat but not to be beaten.

What's the point of just saying sorry to me? I'm the one who betrayed Li Chu.

However, she took a deep breath and looked at the person. For some reason, she still felt that there was a strange sense of disconnection between Su Ning, who was on the trending search just mentioned, and the person in front of her.

This guy doesn't look that bad.

Maybe faces can be deceiving.

"Let's go," Su Ning said again, "stay away from him. It's okay, Jiang Chenfeng came here for me tonight."

Zhou Chunqing: "Oh."

She suppressed her chaotic thoughts and walked towards the front hall with Su Ning.

This place is quite large, and the bathroom here is some distance away from the private room where Jiang Chenfeng is staying. I walked along the passage to the front. When I got closer, the sound inside sounded a bit strange. If I listened carefully, I could hear a faint cry for help, which came through the gap in the door.

Someone was shouting, "Let me go."

The voice was fragmented, like a thread that might break at any time, and it showed a bit of fear: "Don't be like this, can someone come... save me."

Zhou Chunqing shuddered as if it was a conditioned reflex. Without even looking at her, she guessed what was going on. Her tone became hasty, "Not good. Li Chu is here. This, this won't do."

Her little sister looked even more anxious, hiding at the door of the private room. When she saw Zhou Chunqing rushing over, she came over and stopped her, saying, "Don't go in now. Young Master Jiang is angry. It's useless for you to go in now. Don't be impulsive!"

"What's wrong?"

Two questions came at the same time, and the friend realized that there was a Su Ning following behind him. His face froze, and he immediately changed his tone: "Master Su, it's okay, it's just a small matter. It's just that Li Chu just came here and is not used to this place. He is still young and has a hot temper. He got angry and slapped Master Jiang, so..."

At this moment, the intermittent cries for help suddenly stopped, which made Su Ning's nerves jump. He frowned and walked past Zhou Chunqing and the other person, pushing the door open. Before entering, he glanced at Zhou Chunqing and her friend and said, "Hide first."

Zhou Chunqing didn't move, gritting his teeth, and looked like he really wanted to rush in.

"Hide first!" Su Ning grabbed her and said in a serious tone, "I'll go get the person out."

"Believe me."

Zhou Chunqing's friends were also standing by. They were both stunned when they heard Su Ning's words. Before they could react, they saw him stride in.

The remaining two people looked at each other, and Zhou Chunqing also calmed down. He did not leave, but found a seat outside and looked inside nervously through the gap in the window.

This is the largest private room in tonight's carnival party. As soon as you enter, you can feel the excessive alcohol melting in the air and the smell of perfume making you feel ecstatic. Some people sit in the booths in twos and threes, hugging each other.

Su Ning frowned as soon as he came in.

He vaguely heard in the bathroom that Zhou Chunqing and Li Chu had some special relationship. Since the name "Li Chu" appeared in the script synopsis, he should have a lot of roles. If he is not the protagonist, he should be an important supporting role related to the main plot. What's more, this was the original owner's fault, so he had to take care of it no matter what.

There weren't many people here. Many people had just been sent out. In addition to the group of people sitting in the booth, there were still four or five people gathered in the corner of the wall near the door of the room.

The lights were dim and I couldn't see clearly. I only heard someone curse, "If you don't accept a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty drink." He shouted, "It's your blessing that Young Master Jiang likes you. Be obedient. Now that you're here, why are you still pretending?"

"You dare to hit Young Master Jiang in front of so many people? I gave you face, right? Who do you think you are?"

Jiang Chenfeng was still sitting in the same place. There was a very obvious slap mark on his right cheek, and even a cut at the corner of his mouth. The people around him wanted to apply an ice pack to him but were pushed aside. His eyes were filled with anger.

The group of people must have obtained his tacit consent and wanted to regain their face after being slapped just now. One of them had a wine bottle in his hand and first kicked it towards the corner. Then he became a little impatient and picked up the bottle in his hand and smashed it towards the corner. If it hit someone, who knows how badly it would hurt.

In the end, the wine bottle didn't land in the right place.

At this moment, someone suddenly reached out and pulled his raised arm hard, and the bottle slipped out of his hand and hit the wall next to him, with glass splattered everywhere.

The man holding the bottle was too close and was caught off guard, so the broken glass flew out and scratched his face. He was about to curse at the pain, but was stunned when he saw the person coming.

"Su Ning? Uh... Su Shao?"

Several people present were stunned for a moment, and they sobered up a little. Because of this sudden incident, they stood a little further away, allowing Su Ning, who had rushed over, to finally see clearly the people they were surrounding.

With just this one glance, Su Ning's eyes suddenly darkened.

The man huddled in the corner didn't look very old, just a young boy, but his condition was horrible.

His shirt was almost torn off, and there were slap marks on his face, which were deeper than those on Jiang Chenfeng's face. He looked a little dazed, and it was unclear whether water or wine was poured on his body and hair. He looked wet, but he was still holding a piece of broken glass tightly in his hand.

Looking closely, it was a broken goblet, the tip of the glass looked sharp, it was the weapon he used for self-defense. This made the people here dare not make any bigger moves for a while, so they managed to hold on. But if Su Ning hadn't come, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

The young man in the corner didn't seem to have expected such a situation. He trembled at first, as if he couldn't believe that someone would really come to save him. Then he raised his head and stared at Su Ning. There was mist in his eyes, and he looked even more miserable and pitiful.

He looked really immature, a bit like Zhou Chunqing, probably the same type as the men and women Jiang Chenfeng targeted. He had big eyes and was innocent, looking like a high school student, or a ragdoll cat in distress, and he was totally out of place in this place.

Perhaps because they saw Su Ning's unhappy face, the people who were surrounding him didn't dare to attack him anymore.

In terms of family background, these people were just Jiang Chenfeng's younger brothers, far inferior to him, and at most they took advantage of Su Ning's drunkenness to talk back. If Su Ning hadn't asked for help today, even Jiang Chenfeng wouldn't have dared to do anything to Su Ning, but now he had no courage to deal with him.

"Why did it stop?"

At this time, Jiang Chenfeng's voice came over.

"You guys don't dare to do it when he comes? You're a bunch of cowards." Jiang Chenfeng scolded, then stood up and walked to Su Ning, sneering, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'll ruin your company's trainee and you won't be able to report to your father?"

"Don't worry, I won't kill him. We still have to play. If you are a disobedient cat, you have to let me trim its claws."

Su Ning did not reply after hearing this, but frowned even more. He still stood beside Li Chu and even took a few steps towards him to block the person more strictly.

His expression actually made Jiang Chenfeng, who was already angry, calm down. He looked him up and down carefully, as if he had seen something new. He folded his hands and said, "Hey, Su Ning, you've been drinking a little bit and you've become powerful, right? I didn't know you had the ability to be a hero and save a beautiful girl. Don't forget, you promised me this yourself."

"Without my help today, do you think you can still stay in the program team and wait for your debut?"

This sentence was Jiang Chenfeng's imperial sword today. As long as he brought this up, Su Ning would agree to anything. Making a debut was nothing to rich young men like them. What was important was Shen Huai.

Sure enough, it seems to be very effective now. Su Ning became thoughtful when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he took a step towards him. Li Chu behind him was also exposed, with half of his body showing.

"You're right," Su Ning said, "Then come over."

Seeing him give in, Jiang Chenfeng felt proud again.

He felt that Li Chu had been taught a lesson and was extremely scared right now. If he just held him in his arms and comforted him at this moment, he would grab hold of him like a life-saving straw and rely on him wholeheartedly, even if he was experiencing such pain purely because of him.

Jiang Chenfeng had used this technique of giving a sweet date after a slap in the face countless times, and it always worked for someone like Li Chu who had no background and was young. So he was completely unprepared, followed Su Ning's movements, took a step forward, and reached out to Li Chu in the corner, but when he was halfway through, Su Ning grabbed his wrist.

"Su Ning, what the hell are you doing...ah!"

The expression on Jiang Chenfeng's face fell apart when he was halfway through his words.

No one knew where this young master got the strength from, but when Jiang Chenfeng let his guard down, he was pinned down with a grappling technique. Jiang Chenfeng was actually not as tall as Su Ning, so his feet slipped and he fell to his knees with a thud. Then, Su Ning bent his entire arm backwards, causing him to feel numb and painful, and he couldn't even stand up.

He suddenly felt severe pain in his arms and knees, and it was only then that he heard Su Ning speak.

This famous idiot second-generation rich man whom Jiang Chenfeng had always looked down upon did not bow his head because of his threats, nor was he as stupid as before to be taken away after saying a few words. Instead, he changed his tone to a completely different and stern one, as if he had suddenly come alive.

"You are a filthy person who cannot be put on the table. Take your hands away from me," he said. "If you touch this kid with one finger again, I will hit you in the face with the next bottle of wine."

Su Ning has been in the industry for many years, starting out as an artist assistant and then working his way up to executive economist and chief economist. He has a very good relationship with all the artists he has ever managed, and it can be said that the network of relationships formed with these artists has built the foundation of his business empire.

Even after the company became big, he had not personally led people for a long time, but protecting artists was always his professional instinct.

Su Ning has always disdained Jiang Chenfeng's insulting deal, and strictly forbids his artists to have any evil thoughts and take this "shortcut". Moreover, he sees that the little stars outside and Li Chu in front of him are not doing it voluntarily.

No matter which world it is, any normal person cannot tolerate such a thing happening in front of their eyes. This child looks to be only in his early eighteen years old, but this group of people could do such a thing!

After coming in and seeing this scene, he was really angry.
