No one expected that he would actually come along.
It’s worth noting that many artists under him did not receive such treatment!
It seemed that this girl was certainly special in his eyes.
With such obvious support, everyone wasn’t foolish. They couldn’t underestimate this girl in the future, nor could they afford to offend her.
But Yu Meng was in deep trouble. She had spoken ill of someone only to be caught red-handed. Tsk tsk!
Everyone felt she was really unfortunate.
Lin Yi wore a smile of schadenfreude.
She had already received news that Mi Ke personally went to pick up Luo Xi, which was why she had intentionally brought up the topic.
Yu Meng, this fool, had indeed taken the bait just as she had thought.
“What’s wrong? Weren’t you just speaking so passionately a moment ago? Now you have nothing to say?” Mi Ke mocked as he looked at Yu Meng.
He could say what he wanted about his own people, but it was another matter entirely for others to scold them!
Yu Meng’s face turned red.
The assistant at the side didn’t expect Mi Ke to show up either and felt a bit flustered.
This was someone whom even the boss regarded highly. If Yu Meng offended him, she could forget about continuing in the entertainment industry. Mi Ke had plenty of big-name stars under him, any one of whom could easily crush her. The company wouldn’t risk offending Mi Ke because of her!
On the contrary, she could very well find herself sidelined1Put out of the public’s eyes; no exposure, no projects, no endorsements, etc.!
If she was sidelined, her career would be over.
Although he felt immense resentment toward this woman for stirring up trouble, he had no way out now.
He hurriedly stood up and said in a flattering way, “Manager Mi, please don’t be angry. Everyone was just joking around. After all, Miss Luo took the top spot this time, and everyone is curious. Sister Meng didn’t mean any harm. We’re all from the same company, so please don’t take it to heart.”
With that, he had shifted the blame onto everyone present, implying that if they all said it, why should Mi Ke only target them?
That was quite clever.
Mi Ke snorted coldly, “I don’t care what others say. I didn’t hear it anyway!” Meaning, he didn’t hear what others said, but since he heard this, he wouldn’t let them off easy.
The other party was smart, but Mi Ke was also not stupid.
Sure enough, the assistant’s face stiffened at his words, but he quickly regained his composure. “You’re right, we sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding. We hope Mr. Mi Ke and Miss Luo can forgive us.” He then hurriedly nudged Yu Meng.
Although impulsive, Yu Meng wasn’t a fool.
Some things were best said privately. She didn’t have the guts to offend Mi Ke, so she lowered her head in humiliation and said, “This time, it really was my fault. I hope Senior and Miss Luo won’t mind.”
The person in charge from Dai Yu also stood up and said, “Mr. Mi, we didn’t expect you to come. Sorry for the trouble. This must be Miss Luo Xi, right? She’s as stunning as in the photos!”
They were the responsible party and didn’t want any trouble at the dinner, so seeing Yu Meng apologize, they quickly stepped in to mediate.
Mi Ke raised a polite smile. “I specifically brought my little cutie here. You don’t need to worry about me.”
Everyone was surprised to hear this.
This girl really was receiving special treatment.
She was so beautiful. Surely there wasn’t anything more to their relationship, right?
Although they thought of this, no one showed a hint of it on their faces. They greeted her with warm smiles. “Hello, Miss Luo!”
Luo Xi also responded and shook hands with them.
