“You’re right, our temple is too small to accommodate someone as big as you.” Lin Ran’s tone grew increasingly cold. “Please do as you please.”
Chen Nianyao snorted coldly, but she was completely helpless against her.
Chen Nianyao didn't know how long she had been sitting on the sofa when she suddenly saw Song Mai and Xie Wenwen walk in, chatting and laughing.
She put her sunglasses on again, her face full of impatience.
"I had no idea the designer's schedule was so full. Even I had to wait here for you for so long." Chen Nianyao's sarcastic voice made Song Mai subconsciously frown.
She subconsciously turned to look at Lin Ran beside her and noticed that Lin Ran looked displeased, and she vaguely realized something.
"I have some important business to attend to today, so I'm not at the studio. I wonder if Ms. Chen is looking for me about a collaboration?"
Chen Nianyao tilted her head smugly: "Since you know what I'm going to say, why don't you hurry up and invite me to the reception room?"
“I have already made it clear to you that we cannot undertake this cooperation. Even if you come in person, I will say the same thing.” Song Mai handed over a glass of water.
Although I don't want to continue the cooperation, I still need to show some courtesy.
"You're really something." Chen Nianyao stood up and looked at her. "Tell me, how much money do you want?"
Song Mai had no reply and turned her head away indifferently.
“This collaboration has never been about money, but about bottom lines. I don’t think this collaboration is beneficial to me; on the contrary, I find it quite unbelievable.”
Chen Nianyao looked at her with disdain: "What's so incredible about you? You should feel extremely fortunate that I took the initiative to seek cooperation with you."
After she finished speaking, she scrutinized Song Mai from head to toe.
"She is indeed quite attractive; no wonder she's so confident."
Upon hearing this, Xie Wenwen became enraged and tried to rush over, but Song Mai stopped her with her hand.
She countered, "From what you're saying, you seem to have another purpose for coming today."
"I have no ulterior motives. I just wanted to see what kind of person could be so arrogant." Chen Nianyao casually looked at her fingernails and said in a low voice, "Come to think of it, you've already reached a cooperation agreement with Shen Xiujing, so naturally you wouldn't look up to me."
It wasn't until this point in the conversation that Song Mai finally understood what she meant.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're here for Shen Xiujing, right?" Song Mai didn't know much about the gossip in the entertainment industry, but she could roughly understand some of the conflicts.
Chen Nianyao came here not because of any connection with Shen Xiujing, but simply because she likes him.
As expected, an unnatural expression flashed across Chen Nianyao's face, but it disappeared in an instant.
As an actress, she has excellent control over her facial expressions, able to express them with ease.
In the blink of an eye, Song Mai couldn't discern any emotion on his face.
"What does this have to do with him? Do you think he's the only one in the world who can cooperate with you?" Chen Nianyao walked around, looking at the studio. "A woman who has been married and had children, instead of thinking about how to raise her own children, is going around provoking others."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Don't think that just because you're a movie star I won't kick you out." Lin Ran protected Song Mai, not allowing anyone to speak ill of her.
"If you kick me out now, the studio will be trending on social media tomorrow, and it can announce its closure the day after." Chen Nianyao raised her chin, her face full of smugness.
With such a large fan base and the extensive connections she's built in the entertainment industry over the years, she naturally has the ability to bring this studio down.
Song Mai doesn't provoke trouble, but he's not afraid of trouble either.
She casually turned to look at Chen Nianyao and couldn't help but say, "Since you're not sincere about cooperating with me, why don't you just be frank and say it straight to the point?"
"Stay away from Shen Xiujing; he's not someone you can mess with."
Song Mai pretended not to understand and asked in return, "Could it be that he's your boyfriend?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. I'm here today only to give you a warning. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, Chen Nianyao turned around and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Shen Xiujing's voice came from somewhere: "How come I didn't know you and I were so close?"
Chen Nianyao suddenly turned around and looked around in surprise.
Song Mai held up her phone and waved it gently: "Don't be surprised. In order to understand the situation and better resolve the problem, I called him while you were speaking."
The phone was handed directly to Chen Nianyao: "You can say whatever you want to him directly; there's no need for me to relay it."
"you!"
Chen Nianyao's face flushed red instantly, and she was furious.
"You just wait."
After saying that, she turned and left in a fit of rage and embarrassment.
Lin Ran said with satisfaction, "Let's see how arrogant she can be in the future."
Song Mai sighed helplessly: "If this happens again, just call me directly. Handling things this way will only make things worse, and the studio will also be affected."
Lin Ran nodded apologetically, "I know, but I just can't swallow this. This woman is so outrageous, she even dared to threaten you."
“It’s understandable that she has the ability and resources to threaten me.”
Xie Wenwen turned to Song Mai with concern: "If she really intends to retaliate against us, what should we do next?"
"We'll take it one step at a time; there shouldn't be any major problems."
When Shen Xiujing rushed to the studio, she happened to run into Chen Nianyao outside the door.
She glared angrily at Shen Xiujing, her brows furrowed.
"What did you mean by what you just said?" Shen Xiujing was furious that she would cause trouble for her sister.
Chen Nianyao suddenly spoke up: "What does this have to do with you? Who are you to me? What right do you have to stop me from speaking?"
"Chen Nianyao, are you crazy? Don't you know what the consequences will be if the media takes pictures of you?"
Looking at his angry expression, Chen Nianyao's face lit up with joy: "Are you concerned about me?"
Shen Xiujing laughed coldly: "Are you out of your mind?"
He always speaks bluntly and is ruthless towards people he doesn't like.
Chen Nianyao frowned angrily and turned to leave.
Just as she was about to get into the car, she suddenly remembered something and immediately turned around: "Even if you hate me, you still need to continue acting during the promotion of the new drama. Our CP fans are waiting for more daily tidbits, so you mustn't mess up your performance."
Shen Xiujing paused for a moment, then pushed open the studio door and ignored her completely.
Seeing this, Chen Nianyao became angry and left.
