Chapter 198: Fight Broke Out
An Qi was the first to approach Xuan Xia and said to her, “Xuan Xia, let’s form an alliance tomorrow?”
After asking Xuan Xia, she went to look at Zhou Shiqing and mustered her courage to say, “Is that okay, Teacher Zhou?”
Looking at all the CP pairings, An Qi was only relatively familiar with Xuan Xia, and in An Qi’s heart, she favored Xuan Xia and Zhou Shiqing’s strength more.
So as soon as she learned that they had to do a mission tomorrow, she immediately discussed it with her partner Gu Sun and proposed forming an alliance with Xuan Xia and the others.
After Gu Sun looked around at everyone, he agreed to An Qi’s suggestion.
When there were cameras, An Qi didn’t dare to directly mention the alliance to Xuan Xia. She finally endured until the recording ended and immediately came over.
She expectantly looked at Xuan Xia, then anxiously looked at Zhou Shiqing.
Zhou Shiqing directly looked at Xuan Xia.
He knew Xuan Xia had some friendship with An Qi, so he wasn’t in a hurry to answer.
“Of course it’s good to form an alliance and do the mission together.” Xuan Xia also followed An Qi’s line of sight to look at Zhou Shiqing. “Teacher Zhou, do you agree?”
“Then let’s form the alliance.” Zhou Shiqing immediately gave a straightforward answer.
“Great! Thanks, Teacher Zhou!” An Qi immediately turned her head and gave a “yea” gesture to Gu Sun.
With the alliance settled, An Qi was about to chat idly with Xuan Xia when an argument suddenly erupted nearby.
Everyone present immediately had their attention drawn over.
The ones arguing were Xie Yun and Wen Zhu.
“How did they start arguing?” An Qi said softly.
Xuan Xia had guessed the possible reason.
As expected, it was probably what Wen Zhu said when she and Cui Xiaobai were picking partners earlier that angered Xie Yun.
Sure enough, the next second, Wen Zhu sarcastically said, “Do you think you’re some ‘untouchable’ taboo? It’s just a meme. Who are you throwing attitude at?”
“It’s so funny. First time I’ve seen you care so much, unable to take a joke. I’ve long heard that you’re difficult to work with, Xie Yun, and don’t know how to behave. No wonder no amount of resources helps.”
“If it were someone else, they could’ve eaten up these resources and become a top-tier star long ago. Not like you. Now your agent has no resources to feed you anymore! So stop putting on airs in front of me, tch.”
After Wen Zhu said this, everyone’s expressions around became subtly awkward.
Everyone was in the same circle, and they all knew about the downfall of Xie Yun’s agent Zhao Mingfang, but no one had said it out loud. Unexpectedly, Wen Zhu pointed it out.
An Qi also softly said to Xuan Xia, “Xuan Xia, did you know? Zhao Mingfang has been kicked out of Shenghui Entertainment now, and reportedly faces a lawsuit.”
“Lawsuit?”
An Qi lowered her voice. “Yeah, reportedly Zhao Mingfang embezzled Shenghui’s funds for personal gain, and Shenghui Entertainment is suing her.”
“Oh, really.” Xuan Xia truly didn’t know about this.
She didn’t know if Ji Ziyao knew or if he knew but didn’t tell her.
“And there’s more.” An Qi continued gossiping to Xuan Xia. “Reportedly, Zhao Mingfang’s health check also came out not great.”
Then An Qi sighed. “Zhao Mingfang was so powerful before. Unexpectedly, she fell from a high place all at once. And she fell so ugly.”
Precisely because Zhao Mingfang’s methods were powerful before, now that she had this outcome, no one reached out to help her.
Even the artists she managed, except for those whose positions were already stable, the others all suffered varying degrees of setbacks.
Among them, Xie Yun should be considered one who was severely hit.
“I’ve watched these episodes and noticed that the airtime given to Xie Yun is clearly not as much as at the beginning. I don’t know if she’ll get much camera time in the last two episodes.”
Xuan Xia amusingly turned back to look at An Qi. “Why do you care about her camera shots? You should care about your own.”
An Qi met Xuan Xia’s eyes and then smiled embarrassedly. “So I came to mooch off your camera shots.”
Xuan Xia: “…”
This ebb and flow—the airtime given to Xie Yun in these episodes decreased, and then An Qi discovered that the program group correspondingly increased the airtime for Xuan Xia and Zhou Shiqing.
But An Qi could understand, after all, Xuan Xia’s partner was Zhou Shiqing.
While they were talking here, over there with Xie Yun and Wen Zhu, staff had already intervened to mediate between the two.
However, the mediation wasn’t effective. Not only did it fail to calm them, it even egged them on to start fighting.
At this point, the scene immediately became spectacular.
The other guests were clearly dumbfounded.
“Are they crazy?” An Qi widened her eyes and said incredulously.
Fighting now—did they want to do tomorrow’s live broadcast with injuries?
Tomorrow was a live broadcast!
Xuan Xia also thought these two were crazy.
But her approach was to pull An Qi back a step, not wanting to be involved.
The other guests had the same idea, all standing by to watch, no one intervening.
In the end, the program’s chief director called people to separate them, but by the time they were pulled apart, both had lost their original image, and just as An Qi thought, both had obvious scratch marks on them.
Wen Zhu’s injuries were heavier than Xie Yun’s; there were several bloodstains on her neck from scratches.
Wen Zhu’s assistant exclaimed in shock, pointing out Wen Zhu’s injuries.
Wen Zhu also felt a burning stinging pain on one side of her neck, so angry she gnashed her teeth and glared at Xie Yun as if she wanted to devour her flesh and blood.
“Xie Yun, if you’re fucking sick, go get treated early, okay?!”
Xie Yun, as if venting and feeling refreshed, responded to Wen Zhu’s words with a cold laugh.
At this time, Cui Xiaobai, who had been watching the drama for a while, suddenly said, “It was indeed a bit excessive. It was just a meme, not just your thing, and the other person didn’t get angry either.”
Although the words didn’t name names, those in the know knew.
In an instant, many lines of sight swept around the crowd and finally settled on Xuan Xia.
Xuan Xia was speechless.
This Cui Xiaobai—she didn’t even know her, and they had no interactions, so why was she stirring things up?
Facing the many gazes, Xuan Xia calmly ignored them all.
Whether it was about being angry or not, she had to pick a fight with someone.
Xuan Xia didn’t want to clash with either of those two and give others the chance to watch the drama, so she immediately decided to play deaf and dumb.
However, someone didn’t want her to play deaf and dumb. Wen Zhu also spoke up, naming her to pull Xuan Xia in: “Right, I almost forgot without you mentioning it. Xuan Xia, come judge this.”
More lines of sight focused on Xuan Xia.
Xuan Xia: Judge my ass…
Xie Yun pushed away the person supporting her and strode straight toward Xuan Xia.
Seeing her stance, Xuan Xia thought, is she about to fight?
She quickly pushed the closely clinging An Qi back, lest if they really fought, An Qi become her burden.
Of course, she was also worried An Qi would become an innocent bystander.
But before Xie Yun could reach Xuan Xia, Zhou Shiqing blocked her first.
Zhou Shiqing looked down at her imposingly: “What do you want?”
Xie Yun looked up at Zhou Shiqing, her expression as dead as could be.
Zhou Shiqing glanced at her once, then mercilessly turned away his gaze and raised his head to shout at the chief director on the side: “Are we still recording tomorrow? Do you just want the audience to see this?”
Scolded by him, the chief director finally snapped back and hurriedly called more people to drag Xie Yun away, not daring to let her get close to anyone else.
