Chapter 1834: Chapter 1831: Making a Mountain out of a Molehill
Hu Yuedan didn’t expect to be rejected, and she felt a bit awkward for a moment.
Feeling at a loss.
She knew Zhuang Xuejun, who used to be a big star. Although she has since left the industry, Hu Yuedan still felt a bit intimidated.
Quickly scanning the people in the room, Hu Yuedan’s eyes widened slightly: Han Luoqi, Zhong Shixia, Zhai En, Xu Jiayang, if not award-winning actors then they’re renowned directors!
These people, she could only see them on TV before!
When eating earlier, hearing Leng Yan say he was meeting Xia Weibao, made her want to tag along to see what the award-winning actress looked like in person.
Unexpectedly, she saw so many award-winning actors and actresses at once.
She was truly taken aback.
However, these people don’t seem to welcome her.
Hu Yuedan’s face blushed slightly, Zhuang Xuejun’s words left her feeling awkward, and Xia Weibao not responding made her unsure of what to do.
She looked towards Leng Yan for help.
Her eyes were watery and her lips were pouted, a pitiful look that melted Leng Yan’s heart.
He quickly interjected, "It’s normal for friends to take photos together, Yueyue is a fan of Baby, Baby, why don’t you take a photo with her."
Xia Weibao’s face looked indifferent, though she was sneering inside, the thing is, she and Hu Yuedan aren’t friends.
It’s only their first meeting, let’s not get too chummy.
Of course, it’s inappropriate for her to refuse directly.
She didn’t speak, naturally, someone would speak for her.
Zhuang Xuejun continued, "President Leng, don’t make it difficult for me, as a manager, protecting Baby’s privacy and image is my duty. We are currently visiting a bar, if these photos were to leak, what if people say Baby has a chaotic private life.
Lately, our company has signed more and more artists, and the PR department is busy maintaining images, let’s not add more tasks for them."
As a manager, there are things Xia Weibao finds difficult to say, and naturally, she’s the one to handle it.
This tacit understanding, she and Xia Weibao still have.
The rest of her words had a teasing element, but the message was clear: no photos in the bar!
Leng Yan frowned, "Yueyue just wants a commemorative photo, she won’t let it leak."
He was a bit unhappy, Hu Yuedan is his girlfriend, bringing her here to meet his friends for the first time, and Zhuang Xuejun made it difficult for her, isn’t she disrespecting him?
"Better safe than sorry, President Leng, have you forgotten the lesson from Ruan Shushu?"
Back when Ruan Shushu was Xia Weibao’s life assistant, she secretly took many photos of Xia Weibao, along with photos of them together.
Then she flaunted Xia Weibao’s photos everywhere.
Luckily, those photos didn’t involve privacy issues.
Now it’s not like it was before, Xia Weibao is a young mistress of a prominent family, she has to maintain her image.
She’s also prone to negative attention, if people know she’s frequenting bars late at night, paparazzi will hound her!
Leng Yan, hearing this, understood the reasoning.
He still wants to protect Xia Weibao’s image.
It’s unavoidable, being prone to negative attention, every time Xia Weibao trends he feels anxious.
He was just thinking to let Hu Yuedan drop it, and find another chance to take a photo with Xia Weibao later.
However, faced with his girlfriend’s aggrieved gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to say no.
"Brother Yan, I just want one group photo, is it making things difficult for you?
If it is difficult, then forget it."
Saying "forget it" but the expression showed great reluctance.
Leng Yan felt a tug at his heart, such a simple wish, if he can’t fulfill it, then he’s really useless.
So Leng Yan looked at Zhuang Xuejun, "It’s just one group photo, Xuejun, you’re making a big deal out of it."
