“Bahahaha…”
The “Fallen City” crew could not hold it in any longer, and burst out laughing.
That was too cruel!
They were really one-upping each other in terms of their cruelty!
Seeing their Director Xu with a straight face all the time made them think that he was an overly serious and stern man. Never had they imagined that he would be so shameless and funny!
The manager dabbed at his sweat. These people were too cruel.
Their pranks were utterly pride-crushing.
“What are you still doing here? Hurry and go buy some stools!”
Xia Weibao kindly reminded them, “And remember to buy better quality ones. Otherwise, Director Li might collapse while sitting down with a figure like his. How embarrassing would that be.”
“Hahaha…”
Someone had clutched his belly in laughter so hard that he fell to the ground, still chortling.
Li Cheng’s expression was as black as thunder. He glared at Xia Weibao with hatred. Just you wait!
“Let’s go!”
Lin Mier had never been so humiliated in her entire life! With a gaze filled with malice, she stared down Xia Weibao and unwillingly followed after Director Li.
The crew of “The Harem” had been humiliated long ago. They were all covering their faces in shame, and had been longing to leave.
“Director Li, what do you mean by this? Are you dissatisfied with the room I have arranged for you?”
The manager spoke with a sombre face and a hint of threat in his voice.
Xia Weibao obviously intended to prank these people. How could he just let them leave like that?
His only goal now was to please this woman. As long as she was happy, perhaps Lu Hualiang would not bother about whatever had just happened.
Li Cheng forced a smile. “How could that be? Of course, whatever the manager arranges is good. It’s just that…”
“Since you know it’s good, why don’t you hurry on in? If you’re unhappy with the arrangement, I guess there won’t be a single bar in the entire Imperial city that will satisfy you.”
Then he turned towards the security officer. “Take a count of the number of people. If anyone dares to leave, immediately send a list to the media and ask them to help with spreading this list, so that all the bars will see it and put them on their blacklist.”
A threat!
Definitely a threat!
Every one of them there was either an actor or a director. They could hardly afford to offend this man.
Xia Weibao approached Li Cheng, flicking the non-existent dust on his shirt.
“I have a really bad habit. Whoever dares to touch any of my people will never be able to stand up tall again.”
Reading between the lines showed that she was really talking about protecting her people.
Her protective words warmed the hearts of the “Fallen City” crew.
Ever since the filming of “Fallen City” started, they had been abused and humiliated countless times. They were practically spending their time facing other people’s eye rolls and dreadful remarks.
They had never been able to stand up tall and proud like this before.
Everyone’s gaze towards Xia Weibao suddenly changed. Actually, she was not as bad as what was portrayed on the internet.
When they entered the room, Xu Jiayang purposely lagged behind Xia Weibao.
“With such a backer, your days are sure to be smooth-sailing!”
Xia Weibao faltered momentarily. And then she realised that there was a hidden message in his words.
She curled her lips into a smile. “Even great backers can fall. The only way not to fall is to depend on yourself. What do you think, Director Xu?”
Xu Jiayang nodded agreeably. “I understand.”
He was right after all. Xia Weibao was not a woman who would cower and hide behind a man.
Neither did she depend on a man.
Otherwise, with her beauty, she would never have gotten herself into such a state.
He patted her on the shoulder. “All the best!”
As they entered the room, the crew became emotional.
Brilliant Bar was not a place that just any regular joe could enter!
And tonight, all expenses were taken care of! It would be a sin not to feast!
Xia Weibao excitedly slammed the table. “Bring out your best beer! The best of the best! The ones that cost 20 dollars a bottle, not the 10 dollar ones!”
