The director dared not refute Jiang Li's words.
But Chen Xu's screams inside were so terrible, it didn't seem like nothing had happened.
Seeing the director's pleading expression, Jiang Li flexed her wrists and decided to get up and go check on Chen Xu's current state.
Before she could even stand up, Chen Xu suddenly rushed out of the house.
Okay, now I don't need to go see it.
but……
Chen Xu, who was originally dressed in a very refined and scholarly manner, now looked completely different.
Um……
He was in a very sorry state.
My clothes are torn, my hair is a mess...
Anyone who didn't know better would think he had been brutally abused.
"It's...it's resolved..." Chen Xu couldn't help but gasp for breath, and staggered as he found a relatively clean place to sit down.
"See!" Jiang Li shrugged, tilted her head, and winked at the director. "I told you, Master Chen Xu can definitely handle it. We shouldn't go and cause him any trouble."
director:"……"
I believed your lies!
Fortunately, Chen Xu was released, so his future is temporarily secured.
As for whether it can be completely preserved...
That depends on whether the variety show can be filmed properly.
It depends on whether the young lady in front of you is in a good mood or not, and whether you can control the situation well.
After thinking about it, the director decided that Jiang Li should still get a raise.
If he gives her more money, he'll be able to make demands of Jiang Li with a clear conscience, won't he?
"Where's the assistant?" Chen Xu suddenly shouted, his tone somewhat exasperated. "How can the assistant be so oblivious? Didn't she see that my clothes are torn? Hurry up and get me a new set!"
Chen Xu's assistant was provided by the production team.
He didn't bring an assistant with him.
I don't know if it's because I don't have it, or because it's inconvenient to bring it.
The assistant standing to the side looked distressed, unsure how to handle the situation.
He helped prepare food and drinks, and he could even touch up makeup and comb hair...
But……
This outfit...
It's not his place to prepare.
“Master Chen…” The assistant walked up to Chen Xu with a nervous expression, “You didn’t give me any spare clothes, so… so…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xu was furious. "Shouldn't you have prepared all this yourself? What use are you if you can't even do this little thing right?"
As he spoke, he kicked him.
The assistant dared not dodge, closing her eyes and waiting for the pain to begin.
No sooner said than done...
Jiang Li quickly stepped forward and, with a forceful pull, dragged the assistant aside.
Chen Xu, who was sitting down, missed his kick and fell to the ground due to inertia.
"You brat! What's it to you?" Chen Xu steadied himself and confronted Jiang Li, the instigator, "Who gave you permission to meddle in other people's business?"
“Master Chen, we’re recording a TV show right now, and you can at least tone down your temper…” Jiang Li clicked her tongue twice.
"Shouldn't you be punished for doing something wrong?" Chen Xu said angrily. "You didn't prepare what you were supposed to prepare for me, so you deserve to be punished!"
"What should be prepared? What shouldn't be prepared?" Jiang Li asked, enunciating each word clearly. "Master Chen, this is just an assistant arranged for you by the production team. He helps you carry your bags, fetch things, serve tea and water, and bring you food. Even if he does something wrong, it's not your place to beat and kick him like this. Besides, you didn't pay him or give him anything. Do you think he'll prepare things for you based on his face?"
Chen Xu's face turned ashen from the questioning, and he was utterly humiliated. "You!"
“Master Chen, you are a member of the Xuanmen sect, and you should be the one to have compassion for the people. Although this assistant is a staff member of the program team, he is still a human being. Instead of showing him any compassion, you treat him like this. Is this the way Master Chen conducts himself?” Jiang Li’s voice was very calm, but her words were like a sharp knife piercing Chen Xu’s heart.
Chen Xu: "..."
Having been used to acting like a big shot, now suddenly facing this situation...
He couldn't change it right away.
After Jiang Li's "friendly reminder," his expression changed slightly. "What the young lady said is true. I didn't manage my emotions well and acted too irritably."
Seemingly feeling that he hadn't said enough, he added, "I just encountered such a thing, surrounded by ghosts, and I was also tainted with some ghostly energy. Therefore, I couldn't control my temper and did such a thing. Please don't take offense."
The sudden change in persona made Jiang Li's lips twitch involuntarily.
This person is really something, shifting the blame for their own actions onto the brat.
However, precisely because of this, many viewers in the live stream began to defend him.
[I always said Master Chen wasn't that kind of person; there must have been a reason for his actions.]
[He just fought so many ghosts all by himself; it's not impossible that his mind was clouded by them, leading him to do something like this.]
[Haha, this whitewashing is really impressive. I just don't understand how some self-proclaimed master, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, can have so many die-hard fans? Is it because supporting him can trample Jiang Li underfoot?]
[Haha, to be honest, I had never heard of this person before this show, but he has a huge number of die-hard fans. I can't even find his name on Weibo.]
[Me too, me too! But I did find a Weibo account called "Little Ancestor of the Mystic Sect," which seems to belong to a powerful metaphysical master. I wonder whose account it is?]
[Perhaps that's Master Chen's account.]
[Can't you have some shame? A man in his forties, naming himself "Little Ancestor of the Mystic Sect"? Is this a joke?]
[If you say it's Jiang Li, I might believe it a little; at least the name matches!]
[Jiang Li? Ha... Don't you even know how many fans and how capable the young master of the Xuanmen sect has? Jiang Li? She's not worthy!]
[...]
The live stream chat started arguing again.
The scene then returned to calm.
Jiang Li didn't give Chen Xu another glance, gestured for her assistant to go aside, and sat back down in her original seat.
Seeing this, Lu Jiming thoughtfully came over and brought her a bottle of water.
Jiang Li took it.
Everyone else sat around Jiang Li, and with Lu Jiming leading the way, staff members naturally came over to bring them water.
The others took the water, unscrewed the caps, and took a sip.
It's so hot outside, I'm really thirsty.
Only Chen Xu looked at the water in his hand, then at the water in Jiang Li's hand, and said in an unhappy tone, "Why is her water different from ours? Why is the production team treating us differently?"
He paused, then continued, "I won't drink this water; I'll only drink the kind of water she has in her hand."
It's obvious that the price of the water in Jiang Li's possession...
It is several times more potent than ordinary purified water.
Before Jiang Li could speak, Chen Xu was about to forcibly change Jiang Li's water.
Jiang Li dodged to the side, preventing Chen Xu from succeeding. "Master Chen, even if you like drinking this water, you can't just take it from me, can you? If you have a problem with it, go talk to the production team. Why bother trying to take it from me?"
The director's distressed voice immediately came through, "Master Chen, I'm sorry, this is the only type of purified water the production team has."
"Then what about the water in her hand? Did it just appear out of thin air?" Chen Xu clearly didn't believe it.
He definitely wants the best treatment.
What makes this little brat so special?
Jiang Li toyed with the water bottle in her hand, opened it in front of Chen Xu, took a sip, and continued, "Is it possible that this water is..."
