"Meizi, how do you think we should handle this situation?" Zhang Qiang asked with a heavy tone, "This is really..."

Wei Meizi did not speak, yet her face was so gloomy it seemed as if it could drip water, her beautiful eyes filled with lethal intent, as though she was about to kill someone.

"Indeed, this Pretty Boy has triggered Wei Meizi's wrath!" Zhang Qiang thought smugly to himself.

He glanced at Ling Feng and noticed that Ling Feng still maintained a calm demeanor; the corner of Zhang Qiang's mouth couldn't help but reveal a scornful smile—ignorance truly is bliss!

Ignoring Zhang Qiang, Wei Meizi's face darkened as she approached Duan Shan, "Repeat what you just said!"

The aura emitted by Wei Meizi was so powerful that Duan Shan felt as if she was facing a furious tiger!

"The situation was like this!" Duan Shan glanced at Manager Zhao, then recounted the events once more.

"Are you certain that everything you said is true?" Wei Meizi asked indifferently.

"What I said is true, without a single lie," Duan Shan said pitifully, "I..."

Smack! Before Duan Shan could finish her sentence, Wei Meizi fiercely slapped her across the face.

Duan Shan was stunned, Zhang Qiang was stunned, everyone present was stunned!

This was not how the script was supposed to go, was it? Shouldn't Wei Meizi be utterly disappointed in Ling Feng? Why did she strike Duan Shan?

"Director Wei, you..." Duan Shan covered her face, looking incredulously at Wei Meizi, her mind in complete turmoil.

Wei Meizi's expression remained unchanged as if the slap just now hadn't come from her, "Tell me, what is the real truth of the matter?"

Duan Shan clenched her teeth, "What I just said is all true..."

Smack! The crisp sound of a slap rang out again, and this slap was evidently heavier than the previous one, leaving a distinct red palm print on Duan Shan's face.

This slap had made Wei Meizi's stance clear—she had firmly decided to protect Ling Feng at all costs!

This turn of events made Zhang Qiang furrow his brows involuntarily; he never expected that Wei Meizi would do such a thing in public for this Pretty Boy!

"Meizi, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" At this moment, Zhang Qiang felt compelled to say, "I understand you are reluctant to accept what happened, but after all, she is an artist under my supervision..."

"Director Zhang, are we close?" Wei Meizi retorted coldly, "I think you might be misunderstanding something. The reason why I haven't corrected you before was because I didn't want to embarrass you. What right do you have to call me Meizi? Is 'Meizi' a name you can call me by?"

Zhang Qiang was dumbfounded; he stood with his mouth agape, looking at Wei Meizi's indifferent face as a surge of humiliating anger welled up from the bottom of his heart!

He had never suffered such humiliation before; he even felt that everyone's gaze was laced with scorn and disdain, with pity and ridicule!

And at that moment, Wei Meizi, looking down from her superior position, coldly said to Duan Shan, "I'm giving you one more chance. What is the true story?"

Duan Shan trembled uncontrollably, her mind on the verge of collapse!

"I, I..." Duan Shan stammered, her eyes involuntarily drifting towards Manager Zhao's direction.

Smack! This time Wei Meizi's slap was even harder, causing Duan Shan to stumble and fall to her knees.

Everyone fell silent, as Wei Meizi's presence was overpowering at that moment; she was like a cold and merciless queen, looking down at Duan Shan with scorn in her eyes.

However, what the crowd didn't understand was the identity of Ling Feng that made Wei Meizi protect him to such extent.

"Could it be that this Pretty Boy has some special background?" At this time, a thought emerged in Zhang Qiang's mind, "Or is he the son of some distinguished family from Yanjing? Otherwise, how could Wei Meizi possibly protect him so firmly?"

The more Zhang Qiang thought about it, the more he believed it to be true. When he looked at Ling Feng again, the typically unflappable Ling Feng even gave Zhang Qiang a sense of mystery!

"Damn, I should have investigated the identity of this Pretty Boy before making a move!" regret filled Zhang Qiang's heart.

But Wei Meizi was still going on, "Duan Shan, the leading actress of 'Shanhai Legend,' a rising starlet? Heh, do you think that your status is very impressive, that you are with Huan Yu Entertainment, and that I, Wei Meizi, can't do anything to you?"

Duan Shan looked at Wei Meizi in terror, feeling a Killing Aura emanating from her.

"Would you believe it if I said that, with just one word from me, Wei Meizi, you would have no place in the entertainment industry ever again? Forget leading roles, you wouldn't even get a bit part! And you'd be besieged by negative news, your image of Pure Jade Girl would plummet to rock bottom, becoming an object of public disdain?"

Listening to Wei Meizi's cold voice, Duan Shan was shivering continuously, her complexion had turned pale, but at this moment, no one stood up to speak a word for her!

Not even those "senior friends" from Huan Yu Entertainment who were just indignantly defending her!

"I'll ask one more time, what is the truth of the matter!" Wei Meizi said indifferently, "This is your last chance. If you continue to deceive me, don't blame me for being unsympathetic!"

Duan Shan was startled, then suddenly began kowtowing, "Director Wei, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied, it's my fault, please spare me!"

Duan Shan kowtowed with great force, and even though the carpet absorbed some of it, the thudding sounds could still be heard.

"Then tell the real truth!" Wei Meizi said indifferently.

"I was blinded by greed!" Duan Shan cried out, "It was I who seduced this gentleman first, because I knew he was Director Wei's boyfriend, I wanted to seduce him to gain more resources, but... but he was unmoved, and even wanted to expose me, I had no choice but to..."

The crowd was in an uproar, none had expected that it was Duan Shan who took the initiative to seduce Ling Feng!

"So that's how it was, I felt there was something fishy about the situation, Duan Shan's reputation has never been good, she is known in the industry as a 'public bus,' how could he possibly be interested in her?"

"Hmph, I heard that Duan Shan, to get the leading role in 'Shanhai Legend,' offered herself to the producer and the director, and it's said that she even engaged in a threesome!"

"He's Director Wei's boyfriend, how could he possibly fancy Duan Shan? Only someone out of their mind would believe Duan Shan's side of the story!"

...

Wei Meizi didn't speak, still looking coldly at Duan Shan.

Duan Shan kept kowtowing without pause, Wei Meizi kept silent, and Duan Shan didn't dare to stop.

At this time, Manager Zhao from the crowd wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sighed in relief, and gave Duan Shan a look of approval in secret.

Wei Meizi turned to glance at Zhang Qiang, "Director Zhang, this is your artist. I think it's best to leave this matter to you. I trust Director Zhang's judgment and am sure it will satisfy us, right?"

Zhang Qiang's face showed an ugly smile: "I will handle it properly! Director Wei... rest assured!"
