“Director Zheng Youcai, what are you saying?” Huang Zongsheng frowned. He said, “We are just following the rules. If you are not happy about it, you can just change to another cinema. Why do you have to say such humiliating words?”

Zheng Youcai was so angry that his face turned red. Humiliating? They shouldn’t have enjoyed the benefits in the frist place! They didn’t do anything after receiving the money. Now, they even asked them to change to another cinema. How could they do that? Two-thirds of the cinemas in S City sent their representatives here. Huang Zongsheng did not want to screen the movie. How could the other cinemas screen it? In this way, the movie that they had worked so hard would never be on screen, right? Zheng Youcai went speechless. He was so angry that he couldn’t speak.

“Manager Huang, why are you so angry?” Shen Hanxing chuckled. She did not seem to be angry at all. She knocked on the table and said, “Aren’t we having a discussion right now?”

“It’s okay to have a discussion, but we have to watch our words.” Huang Zongsheng said with a fake smile, “Mrs. Ji, don’t blame me for what I say. We came here today because of you. Director Zheng Youcai was accusing us. If the rumor spreads out, wouldn’t it affect our future work? The company has its own rules and we are following the rules. Yet, you said that we’re doing it for the money. It’s too hurtful.” He paused before he continued, “How about this? In order not to have any dispute, how about we split the bill today? Otherwise, Zheng Youcai will keep saying that we took benefits.”

Huang Zongsheng was indeed a shrewd person who had been in this industry for a long time. With just a few words, he had managed to get himself out of accusation completely.

Zheng Youcai was so angry that his face turned pale. Although he did not know much about the ways of the world, he had tried to establish a good connection with them. He had also given them all that he could. Now, these people refused to acknowledge it. How could they be so shameless?

In contrast to Zheng Youcai’s anger, Shen Hanxing’s attitude remained calm. Hearing Huang Zongsheng’s words, she smiled.”Manager Huang, what are you saying? I’m treating everyone to a meal. How can I split the bill with you?”

“I have no choice.” Huang Zongsheng sighed. “In our position, we have to be very cautious. I hope you can understand.”

“Of course, Manager Huang.” Shen Hanxing kept her smile and asked, “Can you understand us then?”

Huang Zongsheng looked troubled. “I have no choice. I’m just a nobody.”

The others also chimed in. “That’s right. We can’t challenge the company’s system, right? We can only promise to do our best, but it depends on what the higher-ups say.”

In the end, it was all excuses. Shen Hanxing’s expression did not change. She pretended that she did not hear their perfunctory words and said with a smile, “Everyone has his difficulties. I understand, but…” Her gaze swept across the hypocritical faces. With a bang, she smashed a glass onto the ground. “Do you think that we are easy to deal with?”

Everyone’s expression changed. No one had expected Shen Hanxing to turn hostile. One second ago, she was beautiful and all smiles. The next second, her eyebrows stiffened like a sharp sword and looked super cold, making them tremble in fear.

Everyone in the room was experienced. However, when they met Shen Hanxing’s gaze, they felt an inexplicable chill. They were frightened by Shen Hanxing and when they realized that, Huang Zongsheng’s expression turned a little ugly. He said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Ji, it’s useless even if you try to act up. Today, even if you beat us up, we cannot do what you want.”

They were living in a society ruled by law. If Shen Hanxing wanted to force them via violence, it was simply impossible!

“You’re my guest. How can I fight with you?” Shen Hanxing curled her lips without much emotion and said in a cold voice, “I’m not a gangster. How could I beat you up?”

“If that’s the case, what did you smash the glass?” Huang Zongsheng heaved a sigh of relief. However, his face was still tensed. “This is a matter in the entertainment industry. No matter how powerful the JI Corporation is, it doesn’t affect us much.”

Hearing Huang Zongsheng’s words, Shen Hanxing raised her eyebrows. “It seems that you came prepared and have nothing to fear. But don’t worry, this is my own investment. I wouldn’t trouble the Ji Corporation.”
