Chapter 678: Why is She Here?
Sure enough, not long after Qin Wen entered the venue, Shen Zhongwei and her aunt began focusing their attention on her. The aunt and niece would intentionally cast their eyes on her, every now and then from time to time.
Qin Wen and her a.s.sistant knew about it very well but Qin Wen would constantly keep Jiang Yuning’s words in her mind. She remember that Jiang Yuning had told her that she should not do anything to retaliate no matter what happens because if she retaliate, then she would be the one losing in the end.
Shen Zhongwei found many excuses to push and provoke Qin Wen, and she continued sneering her under the disguise of befriending her. Shen Zhongwei even staged an act and pretended like she accidentally spilled a gla.s.s of red wine on Qin Wen, which was already a very common act in the entertainment industry. She tried all that she could do just to make Qin Wen feel ashamed and embarra.s.sed. All of Shen Zhongwei’s small acts were obvious to the other guests.
Fortunately, Qin Wen was wearing a black dress and the red wine that was spilled on it was not obvious at all.
Qin Wen’s a.s.sistant asked her to get into the car to change into another dress. However, Qin Wen refused to do so. After all, she liked the faint smell of wine which wafted from her body from time to time.
“Okay, enough is enough. Even if you want to tease her, you should try and use some clever means instead. You will only seem like a fool if you continue using petty tricks like this in front of everyone else,” Shen Tao reminded Shen Zhongwei to pay attention to her ident.i.ty and measures.
“I cannot understand her at all and I do not know how she actually managed to grab the resources back from me. I cannot accept this at all!” Shen Zhongwei replied as she held onto Shen Tao’s arms coquettishly. “Auntie, I am already famous after all. Don’t you feel a little upset since your niece is also getting bullied by others?”
“This is the director’s birthday after all. Don’t turn things ugly. Otherwise, you will be the one suffering in the end.”
“What will I possibly be afraid of if you are here?”
Shen Tao looked at Shen Zhongwei who was filled with hatred and resentment at this time. After a few glances, she felt that it was necessary for her to continue to try and discipline her niece. “You just became a little famous and you are already so self-righteous. Do you really think that you are Jiang Yuning?”
“Jiang Yuning has already retired from the entertainment industry, aunt. She is n.o.body now and she can no longer be a threat to me anymore.”
The aunt and niece continued discussing the matter regarding Jiang Yuning. At this time, Qin Wen’s a.s.sistant was anxiously getting some tissue for Qin Wen and in a hurry, he accidentally stepped on Shen Zhongwei’s silver dress.
Shen Zhongwei almost fell to the ground because of that. When she turned around and saw that it was Qin Wen’s a.s.sistant who had accidentally stepped on her dress, she slapped him directly as she said, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Qin Wen hurriedly grabbed hold of her a.s.sistant’s arm before she asked, “Are you alright?”
“Qin Wen, what do you mean by this? I accidentally spilled red wine on you and you sent your a.s.sistant to come and retaliate against me just because of that?” Shen Zhongwei held her dress up as she questioned Qin We fiercely.
“I did not mean to do that at all,” Qin Wen’s a.s.sistant explained in a hurry. “I really did not see you there at all, Miss Shen.”
“You did not see me? Do you think that I am an eight year old kid? Do you think that I don’t know that you are trying to avenge Qin Wen because you think that I was bullying her earlier?”
“Miss Shen, my a.s.sistant is not that kind of person,” Qin Wen stood up for her a.s.sistant who was standing behind her at this time. “I am really sorry and I hope that we did not cause you any trouble at all.”
Shen Zhongwei really did not expect Qin Wen to have such a humble and gracious att.i.tude. On the other hand, she was so aggressive and angry. This made all the guests and onlookers stare at her in disgust.
She was nothing but a young artiste who had just gained some fame and popularity but she did not even know how to behave under this kind of occasion. She was completely clueless and arrogant in front of so many veterans and seniors in the entertainment industry.
However, since Shen Zhongwei was already extremely furious at this time, she had to continue being arrogant and she said, “I…your a.s.sistant obviously stepped on my dress. So, why are you pretending to be pitiful now?”
“Miss Shen, I am simply apologizing to you on behalf of my a.s.sistant’s mistake.”
“No, you are clearly pretending to be pitiful.”
Shen Tao was initially standing next to Shen Zhongwei but when she saw the scene at this moment, she did not want to get involved or say anything anymore. Therefore, she simply retreated as she walked to the side.
Her niece had barely became popular not too long ago and she was already being extremely haughty and arrogant at this time. As for that Qin Wen, she had already seen her before but in the past, she clearly did not have this kind of personality at all. Shen Tao could not help but wonder if she had been trained by a master who taught her how to act accordingly, step by step under this kind of circ.u.mstances.
Instead, her niece was the one who was falling into their step, little by little.
At this time, the quarrel between the two artistes had already caught the director’s attention. He could be seen walking over to them, with a group of people following closely behind him. Amongst them…Jiang Yuning was wearing a dark red professional suit and she looked very fas.h.i.+onable and capable.
Qin Wen glanced at Jiang Yuning before she retreated immediately. This was because Qin Wen knew very well that Jiang Yuning would definitely fight back for all the grievances that she had suffered earlier.
“Jiang Yuning?” Shen Zhongwei could not help but feel very surprised when she saw Jiang Yuning standing next to the director.
The other guests were also all equally surprised.
“It’s really Jiang Yuning!”
“Why is she here?”
The guests were all surprised.
After all, it had only been a few days since Jiang Yuning announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry. So, why was she appearing at the director’s birthday banquet now? What was happening here?
“Yuning, it seems as though it is one of your artistes from Guangying Media,” the director turned his head and looked at Jiang Yuning, as though he was hinting for her to come forward and solve the issue at hand on his behalf.
Jiang Yuning nodded slightly before she walked towards Qin Wen and said, “Did you apologize to her?”
“Yes, I already apologized to her.”
“Then, is there anything else that Miss Shen is unhappy with?” Although Jiang Yuning was asking Qin Wen this question, her eyes were fixed on Shen Zhongwei at this time. Even though Jiang Yuning had a smile on her face, there was an equally fierce expression on her face.
‘I…I…” Shen Zhongwei was shocked by the aura that was surrounding Jiang Yuning at this time. She was completely at a loss for words and she could not bring herself to say anything.
“Qin Wen, you will have to drink three cups of wine later to apologize to Uncle Tao for causing a scene at his birthday banquet. As for the dress, I will personally pick a brand new dress and have it delivered over to Miss Shen’s agency as our form of apology. How about that?”
“I…” Shen Zhongwei was still at a loss because she did not know how to deal with Jiang Yuning at all.
“Of course, Miss Shen, you also spilled red wine on Qin Wen’s dress just now. I will send the bill for the original price of the dress to your company. Moreover, don’t you think that you still owe Qin Wen an apology for that?”
Shen Zhongwei was forced to take a step back because of Jiang Yuning.
“I will…contact your agency and talk to them about this matter.”
Shen Zhongwei started panicking when she heard this. No matter how much her company allowed her to act freely and do as she pleased, they would not allowed her to make the same mistakes twice.”
So, at this state, she looked like a frightened rabbit.
“Qin Wen, remember to apologize to Uncle Tao later. You should also go and get a change of clothes now.”
“Okay, director.” After she was done speaking, Qin Wen left with her a.s.sistant.
However, everyone present were all shocked when they heard the word ‘director’.
Shen Zhongwei was completely suppressed and she stood in the banquet hall without moving at all.
She had been doing all sorts of things to try and crush Jiang Yuning, but in the end? To Jiang Yuning, she was not a threat at all.
“Uncle Tao, I am sorry that my artiste cause so much trouble for you today. I would sincerely like to apologize to you.”
“You really show me what a person with a thousand talents is like. I have never seen anyone else dealing with this kind of scene in such a straightforward manner. Young people nowadays forget the basics as soon as they become famous. This kind of artistes should really be blacklisted. I can sit back and relax, knowing that you are in control of Guangying Media in future. The artistes cultivated by your company will definitely turn out to be very impressive!”
The guest listened in on the conversation between the both of them and they simply watched as they disappeared together.
At this time, the guests felt as though their minds were about to explode.
Yes, it was exploding!
What did the director just say?
It was such a short sentence but it contained a huge amount of information.
With Jiang Yuning working behind the scenes, Shen Zhongwei was making her way to the blacklist while Qin Wen was getting praised by everyone today.
