Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 381

Chapter 381: 381

Zheng Di cried out in pain on the ground again, "Brother Sheng... why... why are you hitting me?"

He had called people over to handle those wretched women, so why had they suddenly turned on him?

After the kick, Brother Sheng turned and tried to run with the other thugs, but as they were here already, escape was naturally impossible.

When the police arrived, the bodyguards had already subdued the thugs.

What followed was standard procedure. The three girls were deemed to have acted in self-defense. As the police processed the situation, they found Zheng Di’s behavior suspicious and suspected he was on drugs, arresting him on the spot for testing.

The other thugs, with their previous records, also earned themselves silver bracelets...

Ye Zhenzhen watched everything unfold with a cold gaze. She gave Xiaowen a silent look. The girl was pretty and had a good job, so why had she fallen into the hands of such scum?

Sigh!

She let out a deep sigh and sent a WeChat message to Da Mi:

[Wen Yan was filmed by a scumbag in that kind of video. Help delete it. The scumbag’s name is Zheng Di, it’s on his phone, and there might be backups elsewhere. See if you can track them down.]

When the police came earlier to ask questions, Xiaowen didn’t mention this. Ye Zhenzhen had chosen not to disclose these details to the police either since it involved Xiaowen’s privacy.

If the police knew about the video, and it was seen by someone else, there was a risk it could leak, and Xiaowen would be the one to suffer in the end.

Since it was so, she believed it was better to rely on Da Mi, whom she trusted to handle such matters.

As for dealing with that human scum, there were plenty of ways to take care of him!

Da Mi: [Received, dealing with it immediately.]

The incident in the parking lot directly caused Ye Zhenzhen to be late.

She entered the private room, followed by Xiaowen, while Yu Lili went to the police station to assist with police matters.

Liu Rui and Director Fei saw Ye Zhenzhen arriving and quickly gestured for her to come and sit down. Inside the private room, besides Director Qi Qin and their company’s two associate directors and producer, there were almost a dozen people sitting around the large round table.

Today, Ye Zhenzhen had come here to leave a good impression on the directors, but unexpectedly she turned out to be the last to arrive, making the atmosphere in the room extremely awkward at that moment.

Director Fei got up and said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, although you were late for a reason, being late is still being late. Considering you’re a woman, you can use tea in place of alcohol, to toast Director Qi first."

Ye Zhenzhen followed Director Fei’s gesture and looked over. Qi Qin had a beard and his gaze was icy cold. When he wasn’t smiling, his face seemed very somber.

Ye Zhenzhen had not yet taken the teacup from Director Fei’s hand when Producer Qi Feng, who was seated nearby, spoke up, "Being late already shows a lack of sincerity, and now you want to use tea instead of alcohol?

Is this really how artists with a bit of social media following behave nowadays?"

Qi Feng was Qi Qin’s brother, and he was close to Ji Ziqian and had always taken good care of Qiu Wanshuang.

Because of the incident between Ye Zhenzhen and Qiu Wanshuang on Weibo yesterday, his current look at Ye Zhenzhen was as sharp as needles.

Liu Rui lifted her wine glass with a smile and said, "Producer Qi, you’re being too hard on us. Whether it’s tea or wine, both represent sincerity. If you think Zhenzhen drinking tea is boring, then how about I drink in her place?

As an agent, it’s my fault my artist was late. How about I punish myself with three glasses?"

Qi Feng raised an eyebrow and shot Liu Rui a disdainful look. "You drink? I think you should just stop being an agent and act in place of your artist instead. You seem quite versatile as an agent!"

Clearly, he didn’t take Liu Rui seriously at all.

She was just an agent from a small agency, with an artist who had a bit of traction; in Qi Feng’s eyes, they really didn’t amount to much.

To tell the truth, if it hadn’t been for Director Fei saying he was hosting, they absolutely would not have come today.

Director Fei was known for his good character and personality, and the brothers, Qi Qin and Qi Feng, both liked him quite a bit.

To their surprise, after they arrived, they realized that Director Fei didn’t just invite them for a meal; he also wanted to recommend a female artist to them.

Qi Qin had been sitting there motionless the whole time, his gaze fixed on Ye Zhenzhen’s exquisitely beautiful face, curious to see how this young lady would handle the situation next.

Ye Zhenzhen revealed a graceful and generous smile on her face. She picked up the wine glass on the table, poured herself a drink, and then said to everyone with a smile, "All of you here are my seniors and my mentors. I was late today, which is my fault. Director Fei was just looking out for me, and I am to blame for causing you all concern."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Zhenzhen finished her drink in one gulp.

When she was about to take her second glass, Director Qi suddenly spoke up, "What held you up earlier?"

Xiaowen was right behind Ye Zhenzhen, ready to step forward to explain to Director Qi that Sister Zhenzhen had a reason for her tardiness, but Ye Zhenzhen held her hand down.

With so many people around, what happened in the parking lot was just a private matter for Xiaowen, and she didn’t want her own reasons to put Xiaowen, who was already hurt, in an awkward position.

If she didn’t get this script, there would be others. If she hurt the young lady’s dignity, it would take a long time to repair.

Director Fei had often said that Xiaowen’s love life had been tough, and after all these years, few in the circle knew about it except for Director Fei, so she didn’t want Xiaowen’s affairs to become public in front of everyone.

Ye Zhenzhen said with a laugh, "I encountered a traffic accident on the way and someone hit my car. My assistant has gone to handle it, so I took a taxi here. I was wrong, and that’s on me."

After saying this, Ye Zhenzhen continued and drank her second glass.

Liu Rui watched sadly from the side; this was liquor, and Ye Zhenzhen didn’t drink. Before everyone arrived, she had told Director Fei to try to keep Ye Zhenzhen from drinking if possible.

After the second glass, the third went down much smoother.

When Liu Rui and Director Fei thought Ye Zhenzhen would have some reaction, what they discovered was that she acted as if nothing had happened. Facing questions from others, she responded with ease, her answers were perfectly crafted, without a flaw.

Throughout the meal, she didn’t mention the script at all, but somehow managed to bring up her views on acting, even discussing the films that Director Qi had directed.

Her flattery hit the mark, and from the sidelines, Qi Feng couldn’t help but laugh and followed up with a few questions.
