What's the use of saying sorry now? Su Xiaofei thought. What's the use of having laws and the police if everything could be fixed with a simple apology? Had the outcome of today's event been different, Tang Liyan and Zhao Jingmei would surely be at a disadvantage. Surely, none of the members of the crew would extend a hand and help the two resolve the problem.
"Do you think you have a right to demand such a thing from me? This wasn't the kind of attitude you had earlier when we all went to witness the mess inside Tang Liyan's tent." She responded with annoyance.
If they weren't caught this time, Su Xiaofei had no doubt that they would be singing a different tune today. They don't deserve her pity at all. Even if they didn't like Tang Liyan, they should have set aside their differences and treated her professionally. Since they colluded to harm Tang Liyan today, they should all receive retribution for their actions.
"This photoshoot ends here. I refuse to allow Miss Tang to work with people like you." Su Xiaofei said, before gesturing for Tang Liyan and the rest of her group to leave with her.
The Zhang sisters helped Zhao Jingmei take all their belongings and rushed to return to Su Xiaofei's side to leave with her.
The rest of the crew panicked, their faces blanched in fear as Su Xiaofei ignored their pleas. Had they known this would happen, they wouldn't have accepted Luo Cheng's favor.
Once they returned to their hotel suite, Su Xiaofei immediately made a call to Mr. Netto of Bellissima to inform him of what had transpired and demanded an acceptable explanation why Bluemedia shouldn't pull out from this campaign.
The man panicked, and Su Xiaofei could sense from his tone that he didn't expect to hear the news about the photography crew trying to gang up on Tang Liyan to harass her.
"Miss Su, please calm down. Don't worry, we will send another team to work with Miss Tang as soon as possible. I'm really sorry that you and Miss Tang had to experience something like this. Rest assured this won't happen again." He tried to persuade Su Xiaofei to give them a chance to rectify their mistakes and to not back out from their campaign.
If Bluemedia decided to pull Tang Liyan from the campaign and sue Bellissima for negligence, the company's reputation would be in jeopardy if the news about her being harassed by Liao Yang's team during their photoshoot leaked out. Seeing that Tang Liyan had Director Su's backing, this was a serious matter that the company couldn't afford to turn a blind eye to.
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Netto. I have heard things about Mr. Liao's reputation, but decided to give him a chance, thinking that those rumors were baseless. I see now that I have been proven wrong not only by him, who tried to physically assault me, but the rest of his team who tried to harm my talent." She replied, her tone showing displeasure regarding what happened earlier.
Su Xiaofei was facing the floor to ceiling window that allowed her to view the cityscapes from where they were staying.
"I get what you mean, Miss Su, and we truly regret what happened to you and Miss Tang. If you could, please consider giving us another chance to fix things. I will personally ensure that the next photography team will behave professionally and treat Miss Tang with care." Mr. Netto said on the other end of the line, hoping that Su Xiaofei would calm down and not make any reckless decisions that would cause tension between Bluemedia and Bellissima.
Obviously, Su Xiaofei knew what Mr. Netto was thinking right now, and she was merely trying to make the man feel bad about their situation. This should effectively eradicate Liao Yang as an obstacle, giving her and Tang Liyan an advantage in this campaign.
"Alright, Mr. Netto. I trust that you would be able to settle this problem. However, I expect that this would affect our itinerary for this week as everything would have to be pushed back." She replied.
This only fueled her annoyance over the matter, as it would only mean a delay in her return home. She couldn't wait to see her mother and be reunited with Lu Qingfeng.
"Yes, that's expected, we would move Miss Tang and Miss Bai's photoshoot to tomorrow while we, at Bellissima, will deliberate what we should do with Mr. Liao and the rest of his team and would file legal charges if applicable."
Su Xiaofei finished her conversation with Mr. Netto and hung up the call. She then joined Tang Liyan and Zhao Jingmei in the living area of the presidential suite where she and the actress were staying at the moment.
"Mr. Netto agreed to replace the team that's going to handle your photoshoot. In the future, no matter where you are, don't easily lower your guard and let anyone bully you." She told Tang Liyan.
Tang Liyan nodded and allowed Zhao Jingmei to return to her own hotel room to take a rest. Once her young assistant left, she lowered her head and clasped her hands together in contemplation.
"I regret now that I didn't agree to have security personnel accompany us. I should have been more careful." She said dejectedly to Su Xiaofei. "Miss Su, I want to change it. If you could, please help me arrange for someone to accompany us from now on." Tang Liyan added as she made up her mind to do better in the future, not only for herself, but also for Zhao Jingmei's sake.
"There's no use of self-pity, Miss Tang. It won't lead you anywhere, but it's good that you know what you've done wrong, so in the future you won't make the same mistakes all over again." Su Xiaofei replied, pleased that at least the actress had been growing some backbone and standing for herself.
