Chapter 180 Angry
"Ren Limeng, you can't get ahead in the entertainment industry simply by relying on men. These little tricks you use are just what everyone else has used. I've been in the industry for over a decade, and as a senior, I advise you to think about the consequences before you act on your anger. You just refuted my face for Guan He. Does Chen Xingzhi know? If you've been using the power of others for so long, you won't even forget your own identity, right?"
Chen Xi pulled out all the camera cables, turned off the microphone, folded her hands over her chest, and looked down at her with a cold and deep gaze. A sneer could not be hidden in her gloomy face. As she spoke, she slowly approached Ren Limeng, and her soft voice was full of a clear warning.
Some people are just being too arrogant. She gave Chen Xingzhi too much face, which allowed Ren Limeng to get more and more and lose her position.
"Sister Chen Xi, I respect you very much."
Ren Limeng turned off the waist microphone, pulled the microphone cord at hand, and played with it casually. She raised her head to meet Chen Xi's sharp eagle-like gaze and smiled slightly.
"Respect? Oh? Some words can't be said with just words. Ren Limeng, I'm giving you one last warning. If you continue to be so ungrateful, I don't mind letting you know the real entertainment industry. It's full of dark corners and ruthless tactics. If you don't cry until you see the coffin, I can make you feel the pain of being discredited and ruined overnight."
"oh?"
Ren Limeng's lips remained curved, and she said nonchalantly, "Just like last night? Sister Chen Xi, you also contributed to my trending search last night, didn't you?"
During the day, Ren Limeng reviewed the Weibo hot list after the second episode of the show was broadcast last night. The discussion about her was too extreme. It was obvious that many marketing accounts were speaking out with different opinions. Chen Xi and her were already at odds with each other during the second public performance. Before the second public performance was broadcast next week, Chen Xi would naturally not let go of the opportunity to step on her.
The eight-point guess turned into ten-point guess as Chen Xi raised his eyebrows with a smile that deepened.
"You should be thankful that you have Shen Xingzhi."
If Chen Xing hadn't come out and posted on Weibo later, some of the discussions last night that were secretly carried out would have been enough to discredit Ren Limeng's reputation. Chen Xi did participate in fanning the flames, and the main force was Yan Baiwei's agency, but Chen Xi was very clear that she was not the only one fanning the flames.
It is difficult to make a move in the entertainment industry without a backer. Although Ren Limeng is a host on the Orange platform, she is essentially just a newcomer to the circle with no one to rely on. If Chen Xingzhi had not directly come forward to support her, "Shan Hai" would not have been so popular, and no one would have allowed Ren Limeng to take the lead so easily.
There have been too many hot searches about Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi, and this week she even started marketing her strength. The path for female celebrities cannot be successful just by strength.
Chen Xi smiled with a sigh, his tone was imperceptibly complex, and his self-righteousness contained some envy that only he knew. If it weren't for Chen Xingzhi, how could Ren Limeng have been so smooth sailing these days and enjoy the fruits of others' labor? Some people are just lucky!
"Sister Chen Xi, if I were really grateful for having Brother Xingzhi, perhaps we wouldn't be standing here having this nice conversation today."
Listening to Chen Xi's sarcastic voice, Ren Limeng still smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly. She smiled, with too much confidence and calmness in her eyes, and the brilliance in her eyes was so dazzling that it was blinding.
Chen Xi's eyes suddenly burned with anger, and she glared at Ren Limeng fiercely, like an enraged lioness.
"Are you threatening me? Ren Limeng, you are so shameless!"
Chen Xi slowly approached Ren Limeng, his tone filled with disbelief, "Has Chen Xingzhi ever seen you like this? Aren't you afraid that Chen Xingzhi will know how arrogant and domineering you are? Ren Limeng, Chen Xingzhi can treat you like a treasure today, and discard you like a rag tomorrow. Don't think that you can rise to the top overnight just by being with Chen Xingzhi. Look at how complacent you are. I can expose your true colors in a minute!"
"Sister Chen Xi, what do you want me to do?"
This week, Ren Limeng has been respecting Chen Xi both on and off camera, just as she said, but she doesn't know whether her respect is seen as a concession or submission by Chen Xi.
It was difficult for Ren Limeng to ignore Chen Xi's obvious disdain and cold eyes off camera. What's more, Chen Xi had been secretly stirring up a lot of trouble in the past few days. She was not a pushover, so naturally she would not give in even a little.
"If you think everything I do is just bullying, then I naturally don't mind doing as you wish."
Under Chen Xi's increasingly gloomy gaze, Ren Limeng still raised her head with a smile on her face. Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, and even her threats were spoken with grace. She said softly, "Maybe I just gave you too much face."
Ren Limeng has been trying hard to maintain a proper sense of propriety, but she is not a sick cat. Chen Xi just instigated Li Chuyue to bring up the old matter in the training room, which completely violated Ren Limeng's taboo. Whether it is Huangmei Opera or her parents, Ren Limeng now only wants to look forward, and she will never allow anyone to take advantage of the issue.
If she was not sure that Chen Xingzhi would back her up, Ren Limeng might be more reserved at this moment, but since someone was helping her and Chen Xi believed that she was just taking advantage of the situation, Ren Limeng didn't mind confirming this.
She wanted to end the battle quickly so that Chen Xi would be cautious and settle down completely.
"you......"
Ren Limeng finished speaking with a smile, and the surroundings suddenly stopped and time passed very slowly. Chen Xi's pupils shrank sharply, her nostrils twitched constantly due to her rapid breathing, the knuckles of her clenched fists turned white, and her lips were pressed tightly into a straight line.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xi finally couldn't help himself when he saw Ren Limeng looking at him fearlessly. He suddenly raised his hand, and his arm drew a sharp arc in the air. His palm was full of fierceness, as if he wanted to slap Ren Limeng's mouth directly into pieces.
"You shameless bitch!"
Looking at Chen Xi's face, which was distorted with anger despite her delicate makeup, Ren Limeng remained calm, her body slightly tilted back. She raised her right hand and firmly grasped Chen Xi's desperate wrist. Her calm and rational eyes made Chen Xi even more angry and embarrassed.
"Sister Chen Xi, you were the one who provoked me again and again. Why are you still so angry now?"
"Ren Limeng, what right do you have to talk to me like that? If I provoke you, you should just bear it! Chen Xingzhi is very powerful now, but so what? Even if you are sure you can coax him, if he doesn't renew his contract with Hanxing immediately, you will not end up well. My last piece of advice to you is to think carefully about your future!"
Feeling the hidden force between her arms, Chen Xi was completely unable to break free from Ren Limeng's palm. She smiled coldly, took a deep breath, and watched Ren Limeng gradually calm down. But her fierce eyes seemed to be looking at a grasshopper jumping in autumn. She threatened again, and she had thought of too many ways to make Ren Limeng pay the price.
Chen Xi could see that Ren Limeng was calm and composed, as if she didn't care at all that Chen Xingzhi knew about her hypocrisy, or her secret flirtation with Guan He. She looked like she had Chen Xingzhi in her hands. But even though Chen Xingzhi was a top star, he was just a cash cow made famous by Hanxing, one of the four major agencies.
As Chen Xingzhi's agency contract gradually expires, rumors of him going solo from Li Han are gradually rising. It is still unknown whether Chen Xingzhi can maintain his position by fighting alone. Chen Xi's advice at this moment is sincere, and Ren Limeng has completely annoyed her. Chen Xi will not let Ren Limeng go.
She is not someone Ren Limeng can afford to offend!
"Sister Chen Xi, let's talk about the present. You can't do anything to me, so why bother with all those tricks to disgust me? I'm just an insignificant little character. The second public performance is only two days away, and I hope we can respect each other. After all, no one wants to lose face."
Even if winning or losing the performance wasn't that important, as a team, neither she nor Chen Xi wanted to be laughed at by others or become the subject of gossip.
Ren Limeng's expression remained unchanged, as if she was not affected at all by Chen Xi's gnashing teeth, nor did she care about Shen Xingzhi's situation at all. She tightened her grip, still holding Chen Xi's arm, and her gentle tone seemed to be negotiating, but in fact it was more of a warning.
"Ren Limeng, are you worthy?"
"Sister Chen Xi, you've been in this circle for so long, are you still so impulsive? You're so angry about such a small thing. How about... I open the door and ask everyone if I'm worthy?"
Ren Limeng's smooth hair fell on both sides of her shoulders, and her gentle smile was as warm as during the recording. But Chen Xi, who was facing her, saw more of the barely perceptible cold light in the depths of Ren Limeng's eyes, which flashed quietly in her eyes, so meaningful that it made people want to step back unconsciously.
She's just a bitch who can't even be called an unknown celebrity, so why does the gaze coming towards her feel so oppressive?
Chen Xi tried hard to suppress all his strange emotions and said to Ren Limeng fiercely, "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Before deciding to warn Ren Limeng, Chen Xi and the program team agreed to give them a few minutes of private space, but it was only a few minutes.
She had never expected that the seemingly gentle Ren Limeng would be so tough, as stubborn as a stubborn stone in a stinking ditch, leaving her helpless.
Every word that Ren Limeng said was on point. This matter was brought to the public eye, and Ren Limeng's reputation was certainly damaged. But as Ren Limeng secretly threatened, compared to the unknown Ren Limeng, everyone was more concerned about the gossip about her. She was in the wrong first, and it would be of no benefit to her if the news of her bullying the weak got out.
In addition, Shen Xingzhi is not a pushover, so there is no need for her to fight to the death with Shen Xingzhi for an insignificant person like Ren Limeng.
No matter how angry Chen Xi was, she did not completely lose her mind. She finally struggled to break free from Ren Limeng's hand. Her muscles were tense and she took deep breaths again and again.
“Dongdongdong——”
Amidst the stagnant gaze, there was a sudden knock on the door. Ren Limeng was still staring at Chen Xi calmly, but Chen Xi couldn't help but look towards the door.
"Teacher Chen Xi, I'm sorry to bother you! Have you finished talking with Teacher Ren Limeng? Director Dong asked me to hurry you up and get ready to get in the car."
The staff's timid voice sounded hesitantly outside the door. Chen Xi looked at Ren Limeng deeply, and finally turned around and walked out the door.
Shen Xingzhi: I heard that you and Chen Xi had a fight?
