Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Public Opinion Arises

Liu Meng pouted her lips, feigning a wronged expression, but soon couldn’t help bursting into laughter, ultimately giving herself away.

Liang Xiaoqi watched from the sidelines and couldn’t help but find this pair of mentor and mentee rather amusing.

"Sorry, I need to step out for a moment." The weather during the day was too hot, and she had drunk too much water earlier, so Liang Xiaoqi got up and left the private room.

No sooner had she left than Liu Meng turned to Chen Wei and said, "I think that girl is quite good, pure-hearted. Maybe you should try dating her. By my judgment, you definitely wouldn’t be at a loss."

This time, Chen Wei simply chose not to reply.

"You little stinker!" Liu Meng hadn’t expected him to ignore her words and glared at him angrily.

Yet she didn’t have any way to deal with him.

As his mentor, Liu Meng knew very well that if Chen Wei didn’t want to do something, no one could force him.

Except for their master, of course.

But now, not necessarily, considering Chen Wei couldn’t beat her back then, but now...

Forget it, why should she worry if Chen Wei wasn’t in a hurry?

Dispelling the unnecessary thoughts from her mind, Liu Meng focused on enjoying the fine food.

Time ticked away second by second.

Almost ten minutes passed, and she still hadn’t returned.

"Wei, could something have happened? Go check on her," said Liu Meng with concern.

"Okay." Chen Wei said the words Liu Meng wanted to hear, stood up, and left the private room.

Liang Xiaoqi had gone to the right, so Chen Wei also headed in that direction.

After walking for about dozens of steps, he heard Liang Xiaoqi’s voice near the corner, "Step aside! My friends are waiting for me!"

Then another man’s voice followed, "What does it matter? I really like you, come to the private room with me. If you agree, I guarantee you’ll soar to success."

"Sorry, but I’m not interested in what you call ’soaring to success’!" Liang Xiaoqi’s attitude was firm.

She looked at the drunk man before her with contempt.

She wanted to leave, but the drunk man opened his arms wide and stubbornly blocked her way.

"Interesting, really interesting. You’re the first woman to ever reject me. I am liking you more and more." As he spoke, he even let out a burp.

"Oh, you like being abused that much? Then let me oblige you."

"You!" The drunk man didn’t have a chance to turn his head and ask who the person placing a hand on his shoulder was.

Chen Wei forcefully pulled on the drunk man’s collar to face him.

Slap!

Immediately lifting his hand, he struck a heavy slap across the drunk man’s face.

The hand holding the collar then let go, and the man flew from one side of the corridor to the other, crashing hard against the wall, and immediately passing out.

"Are you okay?" Chen Wei asked Liang Xiaoqi.

"Big brother Wei, thank goodness you arrived on time, I was really scared to death."

Chen Wei had only asked casually, but to his surprise, Liang Xiaoqi swiftly stepped forward, surged into his arms, and tightly embraced him.

"Hey, hey, hey, taking advantage of the situation to get cozy with me, that’s not very nice, is it?" Chen Wei’s smile was helpless, not expecting Liang Xiaoqi to be so unrestrained and bold without Liu Meng around.

"I’m not taking advantage of you, I just genuinely felt scared and wanted to lean on your broad shoulders for a moment."

She made it sound quite poetic.

But Chen Wei didn’t believe a single punctuation mark of Liang Xiaoqi’s words.

Chen Wei gently pushed Liang Xiaoqi away, "Alright, that’s enough. Your mentor is still in the private room worried about you. Let’s hurry back."

"Okay!"

"..." Just as Chen Wei turned around, Liang Xiaoqi immediately caught up and grabbed onto his arm.

What else could Chen Wei do? He just went along with her wishes and let her hold on.

After all, it wasn’t like he would lose a piece of flesh.

However, just as Chen Wei had foreseen, as they were about to enter the private room, Liang Xiaoqi immediately let go of his arm and subconsciously kept a step’s distance from him.

Seeing this scene, Chen Wei couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears, even considering whether he should just tie Liu Meng to himself in the future.

It seemed that only this idol of hers could cure Liang Xiaoqi.

"How’s it going? Anything wrong? What happened?" As soon as the two returned, Liu Meng immediately stood up and asked.

"It’s fine, it was just a drunk making trouble, I’ve already dealt with it, just a slap." Chen Wei lifted his hand and twirled it in front of Liu Meng.

"You’re still so violent," Liu Meng teased.

"You must admit, violence is, in most cases, more effective than reasoning," Chen Wei countered.

"..." Liu Meng chose not to argue with that.

Seven or eight minutes later.

After almost finishing their meal, the three of them planned to leave the hotel.

As for the drunk man, he had no idea who had hit him, let alone seek revenge on Chen Wei.

The slap had sobered him up, and under the persuasion of his companions, he decided not to seek revenge. After all, how many simple characters could there be in a place where people ate like this?

He could treat the slap as a lesson, not to mention that he was the one at fault.

He would never know how wise this decision was for him.

...

After finishing the meal and leaving the hotel, Chen Wei didn’t plan on idling and immediately threw himself into his directing work.

He decided to first create a new trailer.

To show off his skills properly to Liu Meng and Liang Xiaoqi, winning them over.

And to reassure Shen Junlan as well.

Besides, Chen Wei didn’t believe that Guo Quanyou would stay quiet and not cause trouble for him.

Sure enough, while on the road, a quick search on his phone confirmed something was already brewing.

There were three hot searches.

[Dominating the World director kicked out]

[Dominating the World boycotted before airing]

[JM Entertainment]

Opening them up, it was a massive boycott, saying they wouldn’t watch without Director Guo Quanyou.

To those unaware, it seemed like these people had been brainwashed, all too eager to demonstrate their loyalty the moment something happened.

Of course, there were genuine responses, but many were artificially creating a buzz, trying to pressure JM Entertainment and Chen Wei.

Chen Wei had no intention of letting them have their way.

If Guo Quanyou wanted to play, Chen Wei didn’t mind giving him a good game.

Liu Meng was in charge of calling back the employees who had left earlier.

Grievances? How could there be any grievances in front of double the salary?

When everyone arrived, they only saw Liu Meng.

They couldn’t help asking curiously, "President Liu, has Writer Shen relented? Has the company decided which director to hire to reshoot Dominating the World?"

"You may not believe it if I tell you, but your boss has decided to take up the mantle himself."

"What?"

Upon hearing Liu Meng’s words, everyone was stunned, doubting for a moment whether President Liu was joking with them.

Making a movie and running a company were two completely different things, and they definitely shouldn’t be confused.

However, taking someone’s money to rid them of disaster, and with double the salary offered, they didn’t feel entitled to say much more.

After all, who could argue with Chen Wei’s wealth and power?

If he wanted to mess around, and they wanted to earn his money, they could only go along with it.

They preferred to believe that Chen Wei was acting on a whim, and once he tired of it, he would step aside.

How could a person with no knowledge or experience in directing possibly finish shooting an entire movie, let alone make it watchable?
