As if watching her make a joke, Weng Xi slowly and deliberately stood up, supporting herself on the ground.
With a sweep of her long legs, a large expanse of smooth skin was revealed at the slit, exuding a captivating charm: "Do you think I care? Even if all the investors withdrew their investments, do you think I would care? Or rather, do you think I look like the kind of person who would care right now?"
At this point, Weng Xi's expression became extremely distorted, and she shouted, "Ning Qiluo, you will definitely apologize to me!"
Ning Qiluo tilted her head: "Fine, I'll wait for you to apologize to me, but whether I accept it or not is another matter. Pay attention to answering the phone."
They really timed it perfectly.
No sooner had Ning Qiluo finished speaking than Weng Xi's cell phone rang in her handbag on the coffee table.
When the phone rang, Weng Xi froze. Ning Qiluo took her bag, opened it for her, took out the phone, and handed it to her: "Your call."
Weng Xi remained motionless.
Ning Qiluo helped her connect and thoughtfully turned on the speakerphone.
"Weng Xi, where are you now? Has the awards ceremony ended?"
It was the voice of her manager, Li Lan.
Before Weng Xi could even speak, Li Lan launched into a tirade: "Weng Xi, who did you offend? Do you know that the biggest investors in your new drama just withdrew their funding? The producer called me, and I've received several calls from higher-ups. Do you know this drama was aiming for the Baihua Awards? With all the major investors withdrawing, the production team had already started filming at a crucial moment. How can we film this drama without follow-up funding? Did you offend someone?"
Weng Xi was stunned by Li Lan's criticism.
But after a moment of surprise, she quickly came to her senses and looked at Ning Qiluo.
Seeing Ning Qiluo laughing, Weng Xi suddenly burst out laughing as well, her voice full of sarcasm: "So you really did withdraw your investment? You're really quick on your feet, hahaha, Ning Qiluo, do you think I care that you're withdrawing your investment? You really think too highly of yourself."
"What?"
Li Lan's shrill voice came through the receiver: "Weng Xi, you'd better not talk nonsense. I'm outside, I'll come in to find you right away."
After hanging up the phone, Li Lan rushed in.
Weng Xi propped her head up with one hand and sighed, "Sigh..."
Seeing that Ning Qiluo was still smiling, Weng Xi's smile widened, and she had to remind her, "I'm not the same person I used to be. Who are you trying to scare with a mere withdrawal of investment? You even made my idiot agent make such a fuss over this, I never expected..."
"Weng Xi!!"
Li Lan rushed in and shouted Weng Xi's name.
"I didn't expect you to come in so quickly," Weng Xi turned around and said, "Li Lan, you've come at the perfect time..."
"Smack!"
A slap rang out, landing heavily on Weng Xi's face.
Ning Qiluo raised an eyebrow.
Xie Ya was stunned.
Of course, she and Li Lan had some connection; they were in the same entertainment agency circle. She knew that Li Lan was known for being very strict with her artists, and physical punishment was commonplace for her.
Slapping Weng Xi across the face in public like that...
After Li Lan slapped Weng Xi hard across the face, her palm went numb. Regardless of Weng Xi's expression, she immediately apologized to Ning Qiluo: "President Ning, it was my oversight that caused Weng Xi to speak rudely and say some things she shouldn't have in front of you. I sincerely apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."
Li Lan really didn't dare to say anything else.
As long as Ning Qiluo doesn't get angry, that's more important than anything else.
Weng Xi covered her slapped cheek, glaring at Li Lan with eyes wide with fury: "Li Lan, how dare you hit me?"
"Hitting you would be too lenient."
