Nian Xiaomu listened to a summary of what had happened from the secretary. Then, she tucked her cell phone into her bag and followed the secretary out of the office as they made their way to the event location.
As they traveled to the venue, the secretary explained in greater detail what had happened.
“Xiaoxiao has been the one handling the ‘Youth Event’ project. Today, we have invited a rising entertainer, Zhang Qi, to grace the product launch. At first, things were fine, but I’m not sure what transpired after that. Zhang Qi suddenly lost her temper and even hit Xiaoxiao…”
Xiaoxiao was well-known for being serious about her work. In the beginning, when Nian Xiaomu first joined the public relations department, Xiaoxiao was the only person who maintained a good relations.h.i.+p with her even when everyone else was cold to her.
How could such a good-natured girl like her offend anyone easily?
Nian Xiaomu looked through Zhang Qi’s dossier and instructed the secretary to speed up.
The car arrived at the location very quickly.
The event was held on the ground floor of a five-star hotel.
The event was about to commence, and the venue was filled with reporters and the audience.
A row of cameras and microphones was neatly arranged on the stage.
Nian Xiaomu and the secretary entered the backstage area through a special walkway, but did not find Zhang Qi.
“Where’s Zhang Qi?”
Nian Xiaomu furrowed her brow.
The event was about to start, yet the entertainer whom they had hired was not getting ready in the dressing room.
One of the staff members heard her speak and replied cautiously, “Zhang Qi… Zhang Qi is resting in her room…”
Hearing this, Nian Xiaomu turned and walked over to the hotel room section.
For the event, the Yu Corporation had conveniently arranged rooms in the hotel that the entertainers could rest in.
When Nian Xiaomu and the secretary arrived on the floor that Zhang Qi’s room was located, they saw Xiaoxiao turn the corner and walk toward them while holding her face with her hand.
Xiaoxiao was clad in a white t-s.h.i.+rt and jeans. Her ponytail was a little messy.
Her eyes were red, and it looked like she had just been crying.
There was also a strange redness on her cheek…
Seeing Nian Xiaomu, Xiaoxiao was a little alarmed and hurriedly lifted her hand to cover her face.
“Manager, Manager Nian, why did you come here personally…”
“How’s your face?” Nian Xiaomu walked over to check on her, but Xiaoxiao stumbled backward in shock and shook her head wildly.
“I’m okay. It was only a light touch. It’s not a big deal. However, Zhang Qi is very upset now and refuses to partic.i.p.ate in the event. The event is about to start…” Xiaoxiao’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.
Nian Xiaomu did not say anything, but moved away the hand that was covering Xiaoxiao’s face.
Seeing a clear hand-print on one side of Xiaoxiao’s face that was already swelling up, Nian Xiaomu’s face darkened instantly.
“She’s too much!”
Nian Xiaomu reached out to hold Xiaoxiao’s hand and stomped over to Zhang Qi’s room.
Zhang Qi’s room was not locked.
She was lying down comfortably on the sofa playing video games on her cell phone.
When she saw Nian Xiaomu and Xiaoxiao walk in, she smugly turned her head to take a glance at them.
The next second, her manager leaned over to say something to her. She sat up and tossed her cell phone to the side.
Crossing her arms, Zhang Qi fired at them, “Manager Nian came just in time. I want an explanation from you. Why did you send such a clumsy newbie to handle my matters at such an important event like this?”
“What does Miss Zhang mean by clumsy? Was it only because Xiaoxiao refused to change the script and describe you as a top star?” Nian Xiaomu’s tone was cold as she shot a sharp glare at Zhang Qi.
Nian Xiaomu had checked the facts before arriving at the venue.
Zhang Qi had been cooperative until she found out that there was a large number of reporters. Then, she started to make demands.
