Chapter 56: Chapter 56: One is more shameless than the other!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Upon hearing these words, the faces of the “Imperial Harem” crew turned unsightly.
It felt like they had been slapped several times, utterly humiliated!
Especially Li Cheng and Lin Mier.
Among the group, they were the most prominent figures. Being swept out of the Brilliance Bar and added to the blacklist if word got out, how could they ever hold their heads up high again?
How preposterous, what on earth was Xia Weibao’s card!
As for the “Allure” crew, they looked triumphant!
Every one of them held their heads high and chests out, feeling incredibly vindicated.
That’s for being so arrogant, for looking down on us, for kicking us out!
Now you’ve been slapped in the face.
Deservedly so!
Li Cheng’s expression was dark and sullen as he stared at Xia Weibao, wishing he could bore a hole through her with his gaze.
Seeing that they weren’t leaving, the general manager’s face instantly darkened.
“Still not leaving? Dragging your feet, do you really need me to get a sedan chair to carry you out?”
With that, he gestured for the security guards to shoo them off.
Just when Li Cheng and the others felt awkward, Xia Weibao spoke up.
“Wait a minute.”
Li Cheng’s heart leapt with joy, could it be Xia Weibao wanted to curry favor with him, and then ask for the leading lady’s role?
Thinking so, the awkwardness just vanished, and he was once again pompous, seemingly waiting for Xia Weibao to come ingratiate herself.
Xia Weibao smiled with a meaningful look.
“General Manager, Director Li is, after all, a person of status. It’s not nice to kick him out like this,” she said.
Li Cheng scoffed, thinking she knew her place!
Xia Weibao continued, “Just now, Director Li said that a poor drama crew like ours should just grab a street stall or squat under a bridge with bowls in our hands. I completely disagree.
So, I was thinking, if I ever encountered such a poor drama crew, I definitely wouldn’t let them squat under the bridge with bowls in their hands.
No matter what, I’d offer them a corner to shelter them from the wind and rain, right?”
The general manager was somewhat confused, “So what you mean, Miss Xia…”
Xia Weibao generously waved her hand, “Since it’s the last private room, let’s share it.”
The general manager was sharp, instantly grasping her intention.
“Someone, bring a few bowls and place them in the corner of the private room, so that Director Li and others can eat comfortably.”
Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow, tossing a ‘you’ve got a bright future’ look at the general manager.
Then she continued, “And give them a bowl of white rice each while you’re at it. Otherwise, holding a bowl like that, it looks too much like begging, which isn’t nice.”
Pfft…
As soon as she said this, the entire “Allure” crew couldn’t help but laugh.
Such a vicious move!
Letting others hold a bowl of white rice and crouch in a corner watching you eat, drink, and be merry is too mean, too shameless, too… delightful!
Damn satisfying!
That’s for being so pompous, now you know what real arrogance feels like!
And the “Imperial Harem” crew all twisted their faces in discomfort.
They looked worse than if they had eaten excrement.
Xia Weibao was feeling playful, and Xu Jiayang was slightly displeased.
He chided, “Baby, Director Li is a renowned director, after all. It would sound awful if this got out.
And you might even work on Director Li’s projects in the future. Don’t take things too far.”
His serious words silenced the “Allure” crew.
They thought Director Xu was truly a good person.
Even after they trampled all over you, you still speak on their behalf.
Only Xia Weibao asked like an obedient Baby, “What Director Xu teaches is right, so what should be done instead?”
The “Imperial Harem” crew was visibly moved, thinking Director Xu was truly kind.
And then they saw Xu Jiayang benevolently decree.
“Give each one of them a small stool. Sitting down will make eating more comfortable.”
