Chapter 448: Rumors spring up everywhere, each more outrageous than the last!

Soon, the whole Hengdian spread the news that Wang Meng was disciplined by Re Ba.

This matter spread like a gust of wind, quickly reaching every corner of Hengdian, from directors, stars to extras, everyone was heatedly discussing it.

Wang Meng was notorious in Hengdian as a little tyrant; not only did actors find her hard to work with, but directors also found her a headache.

But there was nothing to be done; who let her have a strong background? No one dared to offend her.

Well, the Hengdian director group is buzzing right now, everyone's tagging Director Liu.

"@Liu Cheng, Director Liu, heard Wang Meng got dealt with, is it true?"

"Haha, just finished filming a scene, hearing this news is really satisfying!"

"Working with Wang Meng before was suffocating me to death; hearing this news now feels great!"

"Director Liu, elaborate and tell us the details, @Liu Cheng!"

"You need an expert to handle her!"

"Really relieving!"

"......"

This group consists of all the big and small directors of Hengdian.

The Hengdian director circle is small to begin with; whoever needs actors, just shout in the group and someone will recommend.

As for Liu Cheng, he doesn't have time to check the group right now; his phone is about to blow up from calls.

After the news spread, investors called him one after another; even Hesong's side called, mainly asking what exactly happened.

On the other side, Bai Lu had just finished filming a scene when her best friend and assistant Hehe came running over, panting.

Bai Lu saw this, paused for a moment: "You slow down, what's going on?"

"Big news, big news!" Hehe said, out of breath.

"What big news?" Bai Lu instantly became interested.

She's currently especially interested in all kinds of gossip; hearing Hehe say that, she even thought she could get some more gossip.

As a result, after Hehe finished speaking, Bai Lu was stunned.

Good grief!

This gossip actually ended up on her close friend Re Ba.

Wang Meng, she of course knows.

Although her fame and reputation aren't as big as hers, her background is very strong.

Bai Lu has been filming in Hengdian for so long, she's heard plenty of news about Wang Meng bullying actors, and even scolded directors on set.

"Wang Meng has now provoked someone she can't afford to offend; I heard Sister Re Ba gave her a severe lesson!" Hehe said excitedly.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Bai Lu didn't quite believe it, glancing at her.

"I also heard from others; it seems Re Ba gave Zhao Zhaoyi a stage, making Wang Meng cry from being slapped."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu took out her phone and made a voice call to Re Ba.

Soon, the call went through.

"Hey, Little Lulu, you miss me already~" came Re Ba's cheerful laughter from the other end.

Bai Lu also heard someone beside her.

"Re Ba, you've quietly done a great deed; now the whole Hengdian is buzzing about it~" Bai Lu said with a smile.

"Huh?" Re Ba obviously blinked in confusion.

A great deed?

What did she do? She didn't do anything!

Next, Bai Lu explained: "I heard you disciplined Wang Meng and even slapped her to tears?"

"No, who said that!" Re Ba laughed through tears.

"No? It's spreading like this now?"

Alright, Bai Lu now understands how the rumor came about.

Afterward, she made plans to have dinner with Re Ba tonight, then hung up.

"You heard that, right? Nothing happened~" Bai Lu said, looking at Hehe.

Hehe stuck out her tongue: "It's all their fault for spreading nonsense~".

"This rumor is deadly; I reckon in a bit, it'll spread that Re Ba banned Wang Meng, outrageous news~".

Indeed, don't even say it; there are already rumors that Re Ba banned Wang Meng.

One tells ten, ten tells hundred; everyone hears a different version, truly outrageous.

Over here.

After Re Ba hung up, Zhao Zhaoyi anxiously asked: "Sister Re Ba, is this... causing you trouble?"

Re Ba laughed, pinching Zhao Zhaoyi's cheek: "Nothing of the sort; just now Bai Lu called me, saying the matter is spreading all over Hengdian, claiming I disciplined Wang Meng severely and even slapped her to tears~".

"Huh?" Zhao Zhaoyi stared, dumbfounded.

This... this spread is way too outrageous, right?

Every corner of Hengdian is discussing this matter; the news of Wang Meng being disciplined by Re Ba has become everyone's after-dinner chat.

Meanwhile, Wang Meng's team also quickly responded.

Her agent immediately contacted the higher-ups of Hesong Media, trying to mitigate the impact of this matter.

However, after Hesong's side learned that Wang Meng had offended Re Ba, their attitude also became very cautious.

"Wang Meng really stirred up big trouble this time; Re Ba is not someone we can afford to offend." A senior executive from Hesong said over the phone to Wang Meng's agent.

Wang Meng's agent sighed helplessly: "I know, but things have already happened; we need to think of a remedy."

"Remedy? The only solution now is to let Wang Meng lay low for a while, stop causing trouble. As for Re Ba's side, we need to find an opportunity to apologize." On the other end of the phone, the higher-ups of Hesong said.

Wang Meng's manager nodded, "I understand; I'll make the arrangements."

At the same time, Re Ba brought Zhao Zhaoyi to a restaurant near Hengdian.

After they sat down, Re Ba ordered many dishes that Zhao Zhaoyi liked.

"Zhaoyi, stop thinking about those unhappy things; let's have a good meal today and relax," Re Ba said with a smile.

Zhao Zhaoyi looked at Re Ba gratefully, "Re Ba sis, thank you for standing up for me today; I really didn't expect you would… for me."

Re Ba smiled and said, "Silly girl, how could I just watch you suffer?"

Zhao Zhaoyi nodded, her eyes a little moist again, "Re Ba sis, you are really kind to me…"

Re Ba smiled, ruffling her hair, "Alright, stop crying, let's eat."

The two ate while chatting, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Zhao Zhaoyi's mood gradually improved.

That night, while Re Ba was video‑calling Lin Mo, she told him about this matter.

"Honey, I didn't do anything wrong, right?" Re Ba's tone was still a bit insecure.

Lin Mo heard her and laughed, "What you did is fine; that little girl Zhao Zhaoyi is actually quite good. Earlier, Director Li from Song also called me, saying that if you're dissatisfied, you can withdraw Wang Meng's female lead at any time."

"Huh? You already knew that?" Re Ba asked in surprise.

"When you were standing up for Zhao Zhaoyi, the other side called me," Lin Mo smiled.

"Alright…" Re Ba sighed in relief.

After that, they chatted a while longer before hanging up.

Re Ba's phone kept buzzing; the Hua Shao Qun group kept @‑mentioning her and Zhao Zhaoyi, and even Mi Jie sent her a message.
