Chapter 449: with translation of chapter title

In the Flower Youth group chat, news spread like wildfire.

Qin Lan: "@Re Ba, @Zhao Zhaoyi, I took a nap this afternoon and only just saw this news. Zhaoyi, are you okay? Ba Ba, I heard you're going to ban Wang Meng?"

Qin Hailu: "I've heard of this Wang Meng too; if she were in the same production as me, I'd have slapped her already! @Zhao Zhaoyi, Zhaoyi, are you okay?"

Hu Xianxu: "I just saw this news too, Re Ba sis is mighty!"

Xin Zhilei: "@Zhao Zhaoyi, little girl, are you okay? Want big sis to come over and check on you? @Re Ba, Ba Ba, you're too awesome!"

Wang Anyu: "Really, it's Re Ba sis who needs to step up! I worked with this Wang Meng before, and it was really hard to cooperate. Although I didn't have any opposing scenes with her, I saw that many of the female actors in the same group were reduced to tears by her scolding."

"......"

Re Ba was just on a video call with Lin Mo and didn't have time to reply to the group message.

Meanwhile, Zhao Zhaoyi kept explaining in the group.

Zhao Zhaoyi: "@Qin Lan, sis, it's nothing, Wang Meng has already apologized to me. @Qin Hailu, Hailu sis, I'm already fine......"

Re Ba also posted in the group: "Has it really spread this ridiculously far? /black person question mark/"

Indeed, the rumor is getting more and more exaggerated.

Before, it was just said she slapped Wang Meng once, but now they're saying she wants to ban Wang Meng—really speechless.

On this side, Yang Mi sent Re Ba a voice message: "Re Ba, I just heard you're going to ban someone?"

Upon hearing the voice message, Re Ba also found it laughable, and immediately replied to Yang Mi explaining the matter.

On the other hand, this instantly became a hot topic on Douyin.

Various self-media outlets, chasing clicks, have headlines more exaggerated than the last, and the content is even more embellished, as if they wanted to hype this up to the heavens.

#Shocking! Re Ba domineeringly protects her sister on set, Wang Meng slapped to tears on the spot, ban order already issued? #

#Re Ba domineeringly protects her short, Wang Meng immediately admits defeat! #

#Re Ba bans Wang Meng? Truth exposed! Wang Meng finally gets served! #

Good grief, these headlines are getting more outrageous than the last.

The comment section exploded even more.

"Ah, what gossip is this?"

"Rumor has it that Wang Meng bullied Zhaoyi on set, and then coincidentally ran into Re Ba visiting the set..."

"Re Ba is domineering!"

"Is this Wang Meng the same Wang Meng from the Song? I've often seen her videos before—was she the one scolding the director on set?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's her!"

"Ah, is Morning Light going to ban Wang Meng?"

"Turns out there's true friendship in the Entertainment Circle!"

"Just saw someone leak that Wang Meng's father is a bank president—no wonder she's so arrogant!"

In a short time, all of Wang Meng's dark history was dug up.

What insulting actors, scolding directors, all kinds of prima donna behavior...

Countless netizens exclaimed, Re Ba did a great job!

And Wang Meng also became a target everyone wanted to beat up. Re Ba, meanwhile, became the embodiment of justice.

Of course, behind all this there's surely Morning Light adding fuel to the fire.

After all, Wang Meng offended their boss's wife.

The next day.

Bai Lu looked at the hot search news on Douyin and couldn't help saying to Re Ba: "Douyin is all about your news now!"

"This rumor is getting more and more outrageous." Re Ba shook her head helplessly.

"Look, Wang Meng has become a target everyone wants to beat up, and our gorgeous Re Ba, you've become a big hero!" Bai Lu teased.

"You still say that!" Re Ba laughed and shoved her.

The two were playing around when suddenly someone else came to the set.

Upon closer look, good grief!

Isn't that Li Bingbing?

Goodness, how did she come here!

And following behind her was naturally Hengdian's "big name" Wang Meng.

As the director of the set, Li Huizhu naturally also saw this scene.

She and Li Bingbing had worked together years ago, so she smiled and walked over to greet: "Bingbing!"

"Director Li!" Li Bingbing also smiled in response.

After saying that, she didn't forget to shout at Wang Meng behind her: "Still not calling someone!"

"Director Li!" Wang Meng hurriedly shouted.

Li Huizhu smiled, she of course knew what happened yesterday, and also understood why Li Bingbing came to the set today.

She pointed in the direction: "Re Ba is over there, you guys go over!"

"Thank you, Director Li!" Li Bingbing said, and then took Wang Meng over.

Li Huizhu saw the crew and actors all gawking, her face darkened, and she sternly scolded: "Stop watching, get ready for the next scene right away!"

On this side, Bai Lu was chatting with Re Ba when she suddenly saw Li Bingbing and Wang Meng walking over, so she nudged Re Ba: "Someone's coming to see you!"

Re Ba turned her head and naturally recognized Li Bingbing as well.

"Re Ba!" Li Bingbing walked over, smiling as she greeted.

Bai Lu hurriedly stood up and respectfully shouted: "Bingbing sis!"

She is nothing like Re Ba; Li Bingbing is a big shot in the circle, whether in stature or status, she can't compare.

Li Bingbing smiled at Bai Lu and nodded, considering it a greeting.

Then Wang Meng hurriedly shouted along, "Sister Re Ba!"

Re Ba didn't even glance at Wang Meng, but smiled and greeted Li Bingbing, "Sister Bingbing~"

She remained seated, not standing up.

Bai Lu, having risen to this position with high emotional and intellectual intelligence, saw this and hurriedly said, "Sister Bingbing, please sit; I have a scene to shoot right away, you can chat first!" After that, she left with her assistant Hehe.

Actually, Re Ba had met Li Bingbing before.

On several previous occasions at events or award ceremonies, when Li Bingbing came over to greet Lin Mo, Re Ba politely called out "Sister Bingbing."

After Bai Lu left, Li Bingbing smiled, sat beside Re Ba, and said warmly, "Re Ba, long time no see. I recall our last meeting was at big brother Cheng Long's new movie premiere, right?"

"Yes, Sister Bingbing~" Re Ba smiled faintly.

The previous meeting indeed took place at big brother Cheng Long's new film *Dragon Horse Spirit* premiere.

As for Wang Meng standing nearby, she couldn't interject a single word.

On the way there.

Li Bingbing repeatedly told her, urging her to keep a proper attitude, saying whether she could continue in the Entertainment Circle depended on today.

Not to mention that her father is a small bank's president; even if he were the head of one of the four major banks, Morning Light Group could easily blacklist her.

"Re Ba, your skin condition is amazing; what skincare products do you usually use? Could you recommend some to me?"

"Actually there's nothing special; I just keep it moisturized and protected from sun, using common brands. Sister Bingbing, your skin is great too, you hardly look any age."

"Don't flatter me; at my age, no matter how much I take care, I can't match you younger folks."

Women, after all.

The conversation always starts from skin and handbags.

The two exchanged a few skincare remarks, and the atmosphere relaxed considerably.

Seeing the moment was right, Li Bingbing sighed softly, with a hint of apology, "Re Ba, actually I came today not only to see you but also to discuss something with you."

Re Ba understood her intention inside, but kept a smile, "Sister Bingbing, just say whatever it is."

Li Bingbing glanced at Wang Meng standing nearby, and said sternly, "Wang Meng, come over."

Wang Meng lowered her head, walked to Re Ba, voice trembling, "Sister Re Ba, I'm sorry; yesterday I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated Zhao Yi that way on set. I've reflected deeply and hope you can forgive me."

Re Ba looked at Wang Meng and said calmly, "Wang Meng, do you know where you went wrong?"

Wang Meng nodded, voice low, "I shouldn't have abused my background to bully newcomers, nor treated Zhao Yi that way on set. I will correct it and never repeat it."

Li Bingbing added from beside, "Re Ba, Wang Meng is young and inexperienced; I've given her a harsh lesson. She knows she's wrong and will be careful. So, can we just let this matter pass?"

Re Ba was silent for a few seconds, then said lightly, "Sister Bingbing, actually this issue wasn't big, but Wang Meng's actions did hurt Zhao Yi. Since she has apologized, I'm not unreasonable, but I hope she truly reforms and stops bullying other actors."

Li Bingbing quickly nodded, "Rest assured, I will discipline her properly and never let her cause trouble again."

Wang Meng hurriedly added, "Sister Re Ba, I promise I won't repeat such mistakes."

Seeing Re Ba relax, Li Bingbing also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "Re Ba, thank you for being so magnanimous. If there's a chance we can collaborate more; I have many good projects, maybe some that interest you."

Re Ba smiled politely, "Sure, if there's a chance we'll definitely cooperate."

Li Bingbing stood up, patted Re Ba's shoulder, "Then I won't disturb you; I'll take Wang Meng to apologize to Zhao Yi, and we can have a meal together another day when free."

Re Ba nodded, "Alright, Sister Bingbing, take care."

After Li Bingbing left with Wang Meng,

Bai Lu, quietly emerging from somewhere, whispered, "How is it? What did they come for?"

Re Ba smiled, "What else could they do? They came to apologize."

Bai Lu raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Looks like Sister Re Ba has a lot of face, even Li Bingbing personally stepped in."

Re Ba helplessly shook her head, "Alright, stop teasing me, let's get ready to shoot."

Bai Lu giggled and nodded, "Alright, alright, Sister Re Ba, you're awesome!"
