But, so what?!
Xia Xingchen stepped forward, forcing Mingjie to retreat. She said coldly, "I think Bai Rou should have told you that I bought out the copyright to the play 'Rebirth'. Without my permission, what qualifications do you have to invest in this play?"
"Now that this drama has become popular, you're still trying to fawn over me and ask for money. I think you've been really traumatized lately. You can't even write the word 'shameless'!"
"You..." This was the first time that Mingjie was scolded by a woman and left. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't hold back his pride.
"Don't you want money? I can give it to you!" Xia Xingchen put one hand in his pocket and turned around. "But... from now on, don't bother Director Ma again. Otherwise, you know what I'm going to do."
As he spoke, a card appeared on Xia Xingchen's fingertips.
"Ms. Xia." Director Ma was very touched that Miss Xia actually stood up for him personally.
Mingjie gritted his teeth secretly, staring intently at Xia Xingchen's profile, and took the card from her fingers. "This is something Miss Xia gave me on her own initiative. Don't regret it."
He didn't have much money left, and this money was just enough to help him out of his immediate crisis.
Xia Xingchen chuckled, "There's 2.5 million in the card, take your money and get out."
"Two and a half million?" Mingjie said in disbelief, "Xia Xingchen, are you kidding me?"
Initially, he invested five million in Director Ma. Now, not only did he not receive any dividends, but he also lost two and a half million?!
She couldn't give him any other amount, but she chose to give him 250. Wasn't this a roundabout way of scolding him?!
"Then consider the 2.5 million as a way to calm Director Ma down!" Xia Xingchen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the investors and producers couldn't help but chuckle.
At this time, Director Ma stepped forward, came to Xia Xingchen, and said respectfully: "Miss Xia, I guess you haven't eaten yet? If you don't mind, please eat with us."
The producer and investor also quickly stood up and echoed, "Yes, Miss Xia, we are all honored to have dinner with you."
Director Ma was able to sign a contract with Gong Xia because of Xia Xingchen's secret help. If she could say a few good words for them in front of the prince, would they still have to worry about not having good resources?
So, Director Ma respectfully invited Xia Xingchen to sit in the seat of honor.
The next second, the producer and investor poured wine for Xia Xingchen in a servile manner, completely ignoring Mingjie's presence.
This scene made Mingjie furious. He tightly grasped the card in his hand and thought angrily in his heart: Xia Xingchen, you are so cruel!
After coming out of the restaurant, Mingjie felt more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it, and finally he was so angry that he roared to the sky.
After the roar, his brain was deprived of oxygen for a moment. He stood there for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of a solution.
He thought that the one who hated Xia Xingchen the most now was not only him, but also Bai Rou.
If it weren't for her, Gong Bingye wouldn't have terminated the contract with her, and wouldn't have become infamous.
Since it was difficult for him to take action, he had to borrow Bai Rou's knife.
No sooner said than done, he immediately made an appointment to meet Bai Rou.
The venue was chosen to be the most luxurious Western restaurant in Lidu.
The moment Bai Rou received Mingjie's call, she couldn't believe her ears. The last time they met, Mingjie treated her very badly, and she thought Mingjie would no longer care about her.
Unexpectedly...
Bai Rou disguised herself and went out to meet Mingjie.
"Brother Jie." Bai Rou called Mingjie gently.
Mingjie pointed to the seat opposite him in a gentlemanly manner and said, "Sit down."
Bai Rou slowly walked over to sit down opposite Mingjie.
Mingjie had already ordered steak and red wine in advance. As soon as Bai Rou sat down, he stood up and poured wine for her.
Mingjie's action made Bai Rou feel flattered and even a little scared.
Why is Brother Jie acting so abnormal today?!
These past two days, she felt that she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary?
While Bai Rou's thoughts were racing, she heard Mingjie say sincerely, "After you left last time, I thought a lot and felt very sorry for you."
"No matter what, you got to this point today just to help me. Not only did I not thank you, I even blamed you. I really shouldn't have done that."
"This meal today is my compensation to you. I hope you can forgive me."
Bai Rou had been willing to help Ming Jie take revenge on Xia Xingchen. Now, seeing Ming Jie's repentant expression, she was no longer angry. "Brother Jie, don't be so polite. I did this willingly. It has nothing to do with you."
"If you want to blame someone, blame Xia Xingchen for being so treacherous!"
She deliberately kept a low profile, not revealing her true identity, and treated them like a clown.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have miscalculated!
"Rou'er, you are so considerate." Mingjie said gently, and kissed her forehead.
Bai Rou's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Soon, Mingjie returned to his seat and raised his glass to toast Bai Rou.
The two of them ate and talked about many things in the past. When they talked about the past, Bai Rou's heart softened. If Mingjie had not given up on her, how could she have become the best actress?
Bai Rou enjoyed the meal very much. She took off the napkin from around her neck and wiped her mouth.
I looked up inadvertently and saw Mingjie handing over a card across the table.
Bai Rou looked at Ming Jie in surprise, "Brother Jie, what is this?"
Mingjie said something with a hint of meaning: "There is 2.5 million in this card. You can spend it. You can do whatever you want with this money!"
To Bai Rou, these two and a half million were nothing. To show his sincerity, Ming Jie deliberately played the victim, "You know I'm walking on thin ice right now, and it's even harder to make a living at Gong Xia. Maybe one day the prince will terminate my contract. These two and a half million are almost all my assets. It's not much, so take it first!"
